As shown above, a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders voted, on a non-binding basis, to conduct future non-binding votes on named executive officer compensation every year, consistent with the previously approved recommendation of the Corporation’s Board of Directors to its stockholders.

In the future, this policy could change based, among other things, on the outcome of the next non-binding vote on the frequency of future non-binding votes on named executive officer compensation, and such other factors as the Board considers appropriate.
