Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
At the Company's 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 2, 2011,
shareholders voted on, among other matters, a proposal on the frequency of
future shareholder advisory votes regarding compensation awarded to named
executive officers. As previously reported by the Company, the frequency of once
every three years received the highest number of votes cast, as well as a
majority of the votes cast on the proposal. Based on these results, the
Company's board of directors has determined that the Company will conduct future
shareholder advisory votes regarding compensation awarded to its named executive
officers once every three years. The next required shareholder advisory vote on
the frequency of future shareholder advisory votes regarding compensation
awarded to named executive officers will be conducted at the Company's 2014
Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
