At the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2011 Annual Meeting”), a non-binding, advisory vote was conducted concerning the frequency of future “say on pay” advisory votes on executive compensation. In the Company’s proxy statement furnished to stockholders in connection with the 2011 Annual Meeting, the Company’s Board of Directors recommended that the advisory vote on executive compensation be held each year. At the 2011 Annual Meeting, a majority of votes cast on the matter were cast in favor of holding future advisory votes on executive compensation each year. After considering the preferences expressed at the meeting, the Company determined to hold future non-binding, advisory votes on executive compensation each year until the next required vote on the frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation. Under section 14A(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company will hold another vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on the compensation of executives no later than its 2017 annual meeting of stockholders.
