Votes For	Votes Against	Abstentions	Broker Non-Votes
96,483,473	11,840,048	236,251	11,122,275

Item 4. The proposal for shareholders to vote, on an advisory basis, on the frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation received the following votes:3

1 Year	2 Years	3 Years	Abstentions	Broker Non-Votes
106,826,660	112,967	1,360,791	259,354	11,122,275

Item 5. The shareholder-submitted proposal on ratification of termination pay was not approved, having received the following votes:2

Votes For	Votes Against	Abstentions	Broker Non-Votes
11,753,925	96,484,943	320,904	11,122,275

1 Under the Company’s majority voting standard, the election of a nominee required that the nominee receive a majority of the votes cast (that is, the number of votes cast “for” each nominee had to exceed the number of votes cast “against” such nominee). Therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes were required to be disregarded and had no effect on the vote results.

2

Approval of each proposal with this footnote designation required the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote on the proposal at the Annual Meeting. Therefore, abstentions, which represented shares present and entitled to vote, had the same effect as a vote against the proposal. Broker non-votes, if any, were required to be disregarded and had no effect on the vote results.

3

The frequency that received the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote on the proposal constitutes the advisory recommendation of the shareholders. Therefore, abstentions, which represented shares present and entitled to vote, had the same effect as a vote against the proposal. Broker non-votes, if any, were required to be disregarded and had no effect on the vote results. If no frequency option received majority support, then the option that received the highest number of votes would be considered the frequency preferred by shareholders for holding future advisory votes on executive compensation.

Disclosure Regarding Frequency of Shareholder Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

Based on the results of the shareholder votes on proxy Item 4 above, and as recommended by the Company’s Board, the Company has determined that an advisory vote on executive compensation will be submitted to shareholders on an annual basis until the next required advisory vote on the frequency of shareholder votes on executive compensation.
