On the record date for the 2014 Annual Meeting, there were 17,224,977 shares of Company common stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote.  Stockholders holding 15,999,432 shares of Company common stock were present at the 2014 Annual Meeting, in person or represented by proxy.

___________
* The seven (7) director nominees who received the greatest number of votes cast for director nominees were elected. Withheld votes were not counted either “for” or “against” the nominee. Abstentions were not counted in the election of directors and did not affect the outcome.  The election of directors is considered a “non-routine” item upon which brokerage firms are not permitted to vote in their discretion on behalf of their clients if such clients did not furnished voting instructions. Therefore, broker “non-votes” were not considered in determining whether a nominee received the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares.
 
** The affirmative vote of holders of at least the majority of the shares for which votes are cast at the 2014 Annual Meeting is required to approve this proposal.  Abstentions and broker non-votes were not counted as votes cast and, therefore, did not affect this proposal.
