The Company held its Annual Meeting on June 14, 2011, in Englewood, Colorado. Of the 12,640,115 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the record date, 11,873,033 shares of common stock (approximately 94%) were present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. The Company’s stockholders elected all of the directors nominated by the Company’s Board of Directors, ratified the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, and approved the proposed advisory vote on the executive compensation program for the Company’s named executive officers. However, the stockholders approved a one-year frequency for holding an advisory vote on executive compensation in the Company’s proxy materials, rather than the three-year frequency proposed by the Company’s Board of Directors. The results of the voting on the matters submitted to the stockholders are as follows:
1. Election of Samuel H. Gray, Morad Tahbaz and Aaron D. Todd, to serve on the Board of Directors of the Company until the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified, or until the earlier of their respective deaths, resignations or retirement:
