165,281,571 | | 2,669,427 | | 1,495,171 | | 0 | |

165,234,127 | | 3,105,900 | | 1,106,142 | | 0 | |
Because there were sufficient votes to approve the Share Issuance Proposal, the vote on the proposal to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event that there were not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the Share Issuance Proposal, was not called.
