On April 28, 2017, the Company reported in the Original Filing that a majority of the votes cast on the Frequency Proposal were cast in favor of conducting advisory votes on executive compensation annually. On May 30, 2017, after taking into consideration the shareholder vote cast on the Frequency Proposal and other factors, the Company’s Board of Directors determined that the Company will conduct advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s executive officers on an annual basis. Accordingly, the Company will include an advisory vote on executive compensation in its proxy materials every year until the next shareholder vote on the frequency of such votes is held which will be no later than the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of the Shareholders. SIGNATURE 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.
