Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
At the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting held on June 17, 2011, the stockholders considered:
| ● | The election of two directors for terms expiring at our 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; |
| ● | The ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our registered public accounting firm for the year ending January 28, 2012 (“Fiscal 2011”); |
| ● | The approval, on an advisory, non-binding basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers (“Say on Pay”); and |
| ● | The frequency, on an advisory, non-binding basis, of future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers (“Say When on Pay”). |
For more information about the foregoing proposals, see the Company’s 2011 Proxy Statement, the relevant portions of which are incorporated herein by reference. At the 2011 Annual Meeting, both of the director nominees were elected and the proposal to ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP was approved. The stockholders also approved, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers (“Say on Pay”). In addition, the stockholders determined, on an advisory, non-binding basis, that future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers (“Say When on Pay”) should be held each year.
