needed 40,913,766 shares present in person or by proxy in the aggregate in order to achieve a quorum. At the Meeting there were
48,706,470 (59.64%) shares of Common Stock present in the aggregate, which constituted a quorum.

preliminary voting results for the proposals are set forth below and are subject to change. If the results change, the Company
will file an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose the final results within four business days after they are
