Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
The Corporation held its Annual Meeting on April 18, 2023. At the Annual Meeting, the Corporation’s shareholders voted on a non-binding recommendation for the frequency of future non-binding shareholder votes on the compensation of the Corporation’s named executive officers (“Say-On-Frequency Proposal”). The results were as follows:
| Frequency | Vote |
| 3 Years | 7,652,851 |
| 2 Years | 458,766 |
| 1 Year | 80,133,672 |
| Abstain | 655,694 |
| Broker Non-Votes | 18,113,114 |
The Board carefully considered the results of the shareholders’ advisory vote on the Say-On-Frequency Proposal. Based on the vote, management recommended and the Board determined that non-binding shareholder votes on the compensation of the Corporation’s named executive officers should be held annually until a Say-On-Frequency Proposal is next presented to the shareholders, which is currently scheduled to occur no later than the Corporation’s 2029 Annual Meeting.
