On Proposal 1, each of Messrs. Bagby, Smith, Steffens and Tooley was elected for a three-year term to expire in 2015. The vote required to approve each of Proposal 2 and Proposal 5 was the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal. Accordingly, Proposals 2 and 5 were approved. The vote required to approve Proposal 4 was the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, Proposal 4 was approved. On Proposal 3, the most votes were cast in favor of holding future advisory votes to approve executive compensation every year. The Company has determined, in light of the results of the vote on Proposal 3, that the Company will hold an advisory vote to approve executive compensation every year until the next required vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation.
