No other proposals were submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting. The final results of the matters voted on at the Annual Meeting are set forth below:

Members of our board of directors are elected by the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast, with the persons receiving the most votes cast elected to the board. Given each nominee’s experience, leadership and extensive knowledge of the Company’s industry and its long-term business strategy, our board remains confident that each of Mr. Nelson and Mr. Weil is well-qualified to continue to serve as a member of the board and contribute meaningfully to the board and the Company’s long-term business objectives.
