(6) No vote is being reported for a shareholder proposal to stop 100-1 voting power because it was not presented at the annual meeting by the shareholder proponent or a designee of the shareholder proponent as required, and therefore, was not acted upon by the shareholders. However, if the shareholder proposal had been acted upon, this proposal would have been defeated by over a majority of the votes cast based on proxies delivered prior to the closing of the polls for the annual meeting.

(d) As noted above, over a majority of the votes cast by shareholders voted to hold our advisory vote on executive compensation every year. As such, the Board of Directors has decided that it will include an advisory vote on executive compensation in our proxy statements every year until the next required advisory vote on the frequency of the executive compensation vote.
