Proposal 2:

Votes of the Company's Class A and Class B common stock, together as a single class, regarding the approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company's named executive officers were as follows:

For	Against	Abstain	Broker Non-Votes

As indicated above, over 99% of the votes cast by Class A stockholders were voted, on a non-binding advisory basis, in favor of holding non-binding advisory votes on named executive officer compensation every year. In light of these results, the Company's Board of Directors has determined to hold a non-binding advisory vote on named executive officer compensation every year until the next required advisory vote on the frequency of future non-binding advisory votes on named executive officer compensation or until the Board of Directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for such advisory votes is in the best interests of the stockholders of the Company.
