Item 5.07
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
The registrant held its 2017 annual meeting of stockholders on
May 24, 2017. At the close of business on the record date for the
annual meeting 2,419,107 shares of the registrant’s class A
common stock and 10,000,000 shares of the registrant’s class B
common stock were issued and outstanding and eligible to vote at
the meeting. Each share of the registrant’s class A common stock
entitles its holder to one vote. Each share of the registrant’s
class B common stock entitles its holder to ten votes with
respect to the election of directors and one vote on all other
matters.
At the 2017 annual meeting, the registrant’s stockholders voted
on the three proposals described in detail in the registrant’s
definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 13, 2017.
Stockholders present at the 2017 annual meeting, either in person
or by proxy, represented 97.6% of the 12,419,107 votes eligible
at the meeting to vote on all matters other than the election of
directors and 99.7% of the 102,419,107 votes eligible at the
meeting for the election of each director nominee.
Proposal 1: Election of Directors
The registrant’s stockholders elected Thomas E. Barry, David A.
Bowers, Loretta J. Feehan, Elisabeth C. Fisher, Robert D. Graham,
Ann Manix, Cecil H. Moore, Jr. and Mary A. Tidlund as directors.
Each director nominee received votes “For” his or her election
from at least 99.1% of the eligible votes for the election of
each director.
Proposal 2: Say-on-Pay, Nonbinding Advisory Vote Approving
Executive Compensation
The registrant’s stockholders adopted a resolution, on a
nonbinding advisory basis, approving the compensation of the
registrant’s named executive officers as described in the
registrant’s 2017 proxy statement. The resolution received the
approval from 94.2% of the eligible votes for this proposal at
the annual meeting.
Proposal 3: Say-When-on-Pay, Nonbinding Advisory Vote on the
Preferred Frequency of Executive Compensation Votes
The registrant’s stockholders voted, on a nonbinding advisory
basis, on the preferred frequency of every year, every other year
or every third year for future advisory votes on the named
executive officer compensation as disclosed to the compensation
disclosure rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
An annual vote on such named executive officer compensation
received the vote of 95.4% of the eligible votes for this
