| Item 5.07. | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
As previously reported, in an advisory vote on the frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation held at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company on Friday, May 20, 2011, 482,925,716 shares voted for one year, 1,606,134 shares voted for two years, 43,339,465 shares voted for 3 years, 203,930 shares abstained from voting, and there were 32,996,904 broker non-votes.
In light of these voting results and other factors, the Company’s Board of Directors, at its meeting held July 22, 2011, determined that the Company will hold an annual advisory vote on executive compensation, until the next required vote on the frequency of the stockholder advisory vote on executive compensation.
