(3) Proposal to approve, by non-binding vote, our executive compensation		38,318,690		1,196,589		513,076		8,804,692


	1 Year		2 Years		3 Years		Abstentions		Broker Non-Votes

All seven nominated directors were elected to serve terms of one year, the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent accountant for 2011 was ratified, the non-binding vote on executive compensation was approved and the non-binding vote on the frequency of holding future non-binding votes on executive compensation was approved for holding a non-binding vote once every year.

Consistent with the voting results at the Annual Meeting, the Company has determined to hold an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers annually until the next stockholder vote on the frequency of say-on-pay votes is required under Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or until the Board of Directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for such votes is in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders.

For additional information on these proposals, please see the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with Securities and Exchange Commission on April 8, 2011.
