Explanatory Note
| ITEM 5.07. | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
As previously disclosed in the Original Form 8-K, at the Meeting, in a non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of the advisory vote on the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers (“say-on-pay”), the Company’s shareholders voted in favor of holding say-on-pay votes every year. In accordance with this result and its previous recommendation (as set forth in the definitive proxy statement for the Meeting filed with the SEC on June 7, 2023), the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) determined that the Company will hold future advisory say-on-pay votes on named executive officer compensation on an annual basis until the next required vote on the frequency of such say-on-pay votes or until the Board determines that it is in the best interest of the Company to hold such vote with a different frequency.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
