Accordingly, the individuals
nominated for election as directors, each of whom currently serves as a director of the Company, were re-elected for a three year term expiring in 2014, and the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Companys independent registered
public accounting firm for the 2011 fiscal year was ratified by the Companys shareholders. As stated in the Companys 2011 Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors considers the affirmative vote of more than a majority of shares present at
the Annual Meeting (whether in person or by proxy) as approval of the compensation of the Companys executive officers. Finally, again as stated in the Companys 2011 Proxy Statement, the Company will take into consideration the results of
the advisory vote in determining the frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation.
