At our annual meeting of shareholders held on May 18, 2015 (the “Annual Meeting”), our shareholders approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to our 2006 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan, which increased the number of shares issuable by 5,000,000. Our board of directors had previously adopted and approved the Amendment, subject to shareholder approval.

 

We incorporate by reference the description of the Amendment contained in our definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 24, 2015, on pages 9 through 11 and A-1 through A-10 of that proxy statement.
