was approved (129,445,844 votes for, 6,741,145 votes

every two years, 11,495,537 votes for every three years,
351,123 abstentions and 20,405,364 broker non-votes). Based
on these results, the Companys Board of Directors has
determined that the Company will hold future stockholder
advisory votes on the compensation of the Companys named
executive officers annually until the next advisory vote
regarding the frequency of holding such votes is required
to applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
* Total votes cast for each nominee or matter, as well as broker
non-votes, may vary due to the rounding of fractional shares
included in the totals.
Item 8.01
Other Events.
On May 9, 2017, the Companys Board of Directors, acting on the
recommendation of the Boards Compensation Committee, approved a
conforming amendment to Section 12(a) of the Companys 2012 Stock
Incentive Plan, in connection with the change described in the
Director Compensation section of the Companys 2017 proxy
statement whereby both initial grants of restricted Common Stock
(upon joining the Board) and annual awards of restricted Common
Stock to the Companys Non-Employee Directors will be determined
on the basis of a fixed dollar amount rather than a fixed number
of shares, with the number of shares to be issued based on the
average of the high and low trading prices for the Companys
Common Stock on the grant date. Section 12(a) of the Plan, as
amended, now provides that (A) annual grants of restricted
Non-Employee Director Shares (as defined in the Plan) may be made
in an amount not to exceed such number of shares determined by
dividing (i) $200,000 by (ii) the Fair Market Value per share
(determined as described above) of the Companys Common Stock on
the date of such grant and (B) each new Non-Employee Director
shall receive a grant of restricted Non-Employee Director Shares,
upon joining the Board, with a Fair Market Value (determined as
described above) equal to $25,000.
As described in the Companys 2017 proxy statement, the revised
Non-Employee Director compensation arrangements approved by the
Compensation Committee in November 2016 presently call for these
provisions to be applied in a manner such that each Non-Employee
director will receive an annual award of shares of restricted
Common Stock of the Company at the conclusion of each year (which
may be payable on the first trading day of the next succeeding
calendar year) having a value of $100,000. The foregoing
description of Amendment No. 2 to the Companys 2012 Stock
Incentive Plan is qualified by reference to the full text of such
amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2.13 to this report.
