Section 5 – Corporate Governance and Management

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

As reported in our Current Report Form 8-K filed June 29, 2011, our shareholders voted on a non-binding advisory approval of the frequency of shareholder votes on executive compensation at our 2011 annual shareholder meeting on June 27, 2011.  A majority of the votes cast by shareholders voted to hold an advisory vote to approve executive compensation every three years.

Our Board of Directors accepted this recommendation at its meeting February 7, 2012, and thus will include an advisory vote on executive compensation in our proxy statement every three years until the next advisory vote on the frequency of the executive compensation vote, which will occur no later than our annual shareholder meeting in 2017, or until our Board of Directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for these votes is in the best interest of our shareholders.
