The Company has considered these voting results and determined that an advisory vote regarding the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers will be submitted to stockholders on an annual basis until the next required vote on frequency or until the Board of Directors otherwise determines that a different frequency is in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders.
