At the annual meeting, shareholders considered three proposals: (i) election of two Class A directors to serve for the ensuing three-year period until their respective successors are elected and qualified, (ii) an amendment to the Company’s 2014 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan to increase the total number of shares available for grant thereunder from 1,951,081 shares to 2,951,081 shares, and (iii) ratification of the appointment of Citrin Cooperman & Company, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.

 

The Company’s board of directors is divided into three classes with one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term. The term of office of the Class A directors, consisting of Ronald M. Sparks and David S. Battleman, M.D., expired at this year’s annual meeting. The term of office of the Class B directors, James L.
