Item 5.07Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
At the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders on June 13, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors (as previously reported to the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission) was re-elected in its entirety.
The shareholders also voted to approve the proposed amendment to the amended restated certificate of incorporation to clarify the circumstances under which employees of certain subsidiaries, referred to as divested subsidiaries, will no longer be permitted to hold shares of Company common stock (or voting trust interests representing such shares). Broker non-votes are not shown for either proposal because there is no public trading market for the Company’s Common Stock and no brokers hold shares for any underlying beneficial owners of such shares.
