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

 

On April 26, 2018, the Company held its annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to notice duly given. At the meeting, the stockholders voted on the following three proposals and cast their votes as described below. The stockholder proposal regarding a report on environmental, social and governance topics was withdrawn by the proponent prior to the meeting and, consequently, was not presented at the meeting. For more information about the proposals set forth below, please see the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2018.

 

 

1. Proposal 1 – Election of Directors. All of the nominees for director were elected for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified by the votes set forth in the table below:

 

 

 

2. Proposal 2 – Say on Pay. The Company’s stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the definitive proxy statement, by the votes set forth in the table below:

 

   28,683,763        671,445  18,8191,342,198

 

 

3. Proposal 3 – Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accountants. The Company’s stockholders ratified the appointment of BDO USA, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018, by the votes set forth in the table below:

 

        30,478,163      233,490          4,572

 

The proposal to ratify the appointment of BDO USA, LLP was a routine matter and, therefore, there were no broker non-votes relating to that matter.
