The Company notes that the dissidents (approximately 6.3% of

contest voted against all proposed resolutions, even the new
Say-On-Services resolution which constructively dealt with their
purported concern regarding the cost of related party services.
Other resolutions which passed included the reappointment of KPMG
as auditors, adoption of shareholders rights plan and a say-on-pay
resolution.
