Proposal 2: Approval, on an Advisory Basis, of the 2012 Compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers
A non-binding vote to approve, on an advisory basis, the 2012 compensation of the Company’s named executive officers was voted on and not approved:

As disclosed in the Company’s 2013 Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Statement”), this vote on Proposal 2 is advisory and non-binding. However, stockholders can be assured that the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee will review and consider the voting results, as well as other corporate governance guidance, in crafting their approach to future executive compensation matters.
Proposal 3: Advisory Vote on the Frequency of the Executive Compensation Advisory Vote
The results of the non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of the executive compensation advisory vote were as follows:

5,984,186 | 405,323 | 2,254,578 | 136,747 |
As disclosed in the Proxy Statement, this vote on Proposal 3 is also advisory and non-binding. The voting results show that a majority of the votes cast are in favor of conducting the advisory vote on executive compensation on an annual basis. In light of this vote, and consistent with the disclosure in the Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee will take into consideration the outcome of the vote in setting a policy with respect to the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation, until the next advisory vote on frequency is held (which must be conducted at least every 6 years).
