In view of the voting results and in accordance with the shareholders’ recommendation, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that the Company will conduct the shareholder advisory vote on named executive officer compensation on an annual basis at least until the next shareholder vote on the frequency of such votes is held, which is expected to be no later than the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders in 2029.
