The stockholders also ratified the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, and approved the non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation.

Though stockholders approved a three-year frequency, the Board of Directors considered the outcome of this vote and determined that the Company will hold an annual advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, until the next required advisory vote on the frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation. The annual frequency of the vote is in line with the highest corporate governance standards.

A tabulation of the votes on these matters will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
