I have been informed by the Inspector of Elections that the preliminary vote report shows that a majority of votes cast at this meeting have been voted in favor of each of the directors nominated to serve as Class 2 directors of the company And that proposal to receive the requisite votes in favor and was therefore approved by our shareholders.
