Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
On April 21, 2011, the Company held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders. During this meeting, our stockholders were asked to consider and vote upon four proposals: (1) to elect three Class I Directors to our Board of Directors to serve for a term which expires at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2014 or until their successors are duly elected and qualified, (2) approval of an advisory vote on executive compensation, (3) designation of frequency of periodic advisory votes on executive compensation, and (4) to ratify the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm.
On the record date of February 23, 2011, there were 156,037,896 shares of the Company's Series A common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to be voted at the annual meeting, if represented. For each proposal, the results of the shareholder voting were as follows:
1. Election of directors. All of the nominees for Class I directors were elected to serve for a term which expires at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2014, by the votes set forth in the table below.
