ITEM 5.07. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

At the annual meeting of stockholders on June 7, 2017, our stockholders voted:


•	to elect Bruce J. Ryan and James S. Dodez as Class III directors to serve until our annual meeting of stockholders in 2020, and thereafter until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified;


•	to approve, in a non-binding "say on pay" vote, the compensation of our named executive officers;


•	to recommend, in a non-binding "say on frequency" vote, that we hold future votes on our executive compensation program once every year; and


•	to ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2017.
