As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, the Company’s stockholders conducted a non-binding advisory vote regarding the frequency of stockholder approval of the compensation of named executive officers. Among the options presented to stockholders (every year, every 2 years or every 3 years), the greatest number of votes were cast in favor of holding an advisory vote regarding the compensation of named executive officers every year, which was also the frequency recommended to the stockholders by the Company’s Board of Directors. After considering the results of the stockholder advisory vote, the Company has determined that the frequency for which the Company should include an advisory vote regarding the compensation of its named executive officers in its future proxy statements for stockholder consideration will be every year, until the next required vote on the frequency of such an advisory vote.
