This Amendment No. 1 to the Initial 8-K (this “Amendment”) is being filed in order to disclose the Company’s decision on how frequently it will include a shareholder proposal in its proxy materials regarding the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers in light of the shareholder vote on frequency of future advisory vote on executive compensation at the 2011 Annual Meeting.
