INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 10, 2017 updates Item 5.07, Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders, regarding the results of the annual meeting of shareowners of the Company held February 7, 2017, to disclose the decision of the Company’s Board of Directors regarding how frequently it will include an advisory shareowner vote on the compensation of its named executive officers in its proxy statement. This Amendment No. 1 does not make any other changes to the original Form 8-K.

At the annual meeting of shareowners of the Company held on February 7, 2017, shareowners approved on an advisory basis the holding of a shareowner vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers on an annual basis by a vote as follows:

1 year	83,606,391
2 years	506,734
3 years	8,837,762
Abstentions	531,473
Broker Nonvotes	15,091,574

The Board of Directors considered these voting results and other factors at a meeting held on June 8, 2017 and decided that the Company should continue to include an advisory shareowner vote on the compensation of its named executive officers in its proxy statement every year until the next required advisory vote on the frequency of the shareowner vote on executive compensation, which will occur no later than the Company’s annual meeting of shareowners in 2023.
