EXPLANATORY NOTE

(the "Company") with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Original Form 8-K"). The Original Form 8-K reported the final voting results of the Company's 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 17, 2017 (the "2017 Annual Meeting"). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the Company's decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future stockholder advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company's named executive officers ("Say on Pay"). No other changes are hereby made to the Original Form 8-K.
