As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, in a non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes on executive compensation held at the 2017 Annual Meeting, stockholders indicated a preference for an annual advisory vote on executive compensation as follows:

OneYear	TwoYears	ThreeYears	Abstain	BrokerNon-Votes
220,022,767	464,126	18,024,865	379,814	21,500,549

In light of these results and consistent with the previous recommendation and determination of the Company’s board of directors, the Company will continue to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation on an annual basis until the next required vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation, or until the board of directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for such votes is in the best interests of the Company.
