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

As previously reported, at the Annual Meeting of shareholders on May 11, 2011, an advisory (non-binding) vote was taken on the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (referred to as “Say-on-Pay” votes). At the Annual Meeting, consistent with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company’s shareholders cast the highest number of votes in favor of holding future Say-on-Pay votes on an annual basis.

On August 25, 2011, after consideration of these voting results, the Board of Directors determined that the Company will hold future Say-on-Pay votes on an annual basis until: (1) the next shareholder advisory vote on the frequency of future Say-on-Pay votes; or (2) the Board otherwise determines that a different frequency for such Say-on-Pay votes is in the best interests of the Company.
