Results of Annual Meeting of Stockholders
On March 11, 2013, the Company filed a Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to an annual meeting of our stockholders to be held on April 8, 2013. The purpose of the annual meeting was to vote on the following proposals: (1) to elect eight directors to serve on the Companys Board until the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders or until their respective successors are elected and qualified; and (2) to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2013.
The Board fixed the close of business on February 21, 2013 as the record date for identifying those stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote, at the annual meeting. On March 12, 2013, the notice of annual meeting, proxy statement and proxy cards were first mailed to stockholders along with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2012. On April 8, 2013, the Company conducted its annual meeting of stockholders and all proposals were approved.
