The advisory vote on the preferred frequency of voting on executive compensation, or "say when on pay," was returned with a vote of 98.20% for every year, which was the recommendation made by the Company. A total of 0.23% of the votes were cast in favor of every two years and 0.70% in favor of every three years. The Board of Directors has adopted the preference expressed by the shareholders in this advisory vote and will conduct advisory votes on executive compensation every year until the Company's next "say when on pay vote" in 2032. Renewal of the Company's Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan was approved by a majority of the votes represented.
