Companys definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on April13, 2017 (the Proxy Statement), which

descriptions of the Plans in the Proxy Statement are qualified in
their entirety by reference to the full text of the STIP and the

The form of award agreement for the award of stock options under

Item5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security
Holders.

On June6, 2017, the Company held its Annual Meeting. Set forth
below are each of the matters submitted to a vote of the
shareholders at the Annual Meeting, and the preliminary voting
results reported by the Companys proxy solicitor, Innisfree MA
Incorporated (Innisfree), based on the information available to
Innisfree. These results do not include
(i)shares voted on the green proxy card distributed by Greenlight
Capital, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (together,
Greenlight) outside of the system maintained by Broadridge
Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), (ii)shares (A)not
represented by a white proxy card returned to the Company, (B)not
otherwise known to have been voted at the Annual Meeting and
(C)either (I)for which legal proxies were issued (approximately
66,217 shares which number excludes shares represented by legal
proxies which are known to have been voted at the Annual Meeting)
or (II) held in registered name (approximately 1,554,932shares,
not including registered shares for which a white proxy card was
returned) or (iii)shares voted that Innisfree could not
definitively match with a shareholder identified as being a
record or beneficial holder of shares of the Companys common
stock, par value $0.01 per share (Common Stock), as of the record
date for the Annual Meeting. Further, these preliminary results
do not reflect the impact of any revocations of votes previously
submitted on the white proxy card either through in-person voting
at the Annual Meeting or through the submission of a later-dated
green proxy card outside of the Broadridge system.

In addition to being incomplete for the reasons described
above, these results are preliminary only and are subject to
change
based on the final certification of the voting
results by the independent inspector of elections for the Annual
Meeting, IVS Associates, Inc. (IVS). The Company will file an
amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose the
final voting results after receiving IVSs final certified report.

As of the close of business on April7, 2017, the record date for
the Annual Meeting, 1,510,395,471 shares of Common Stock were
outstanding and entitled to vote. Based on the preliminary
results from Innisfree and subject to the qualifications set
forth above, at least 1,246,503,133shares of Common Stock were
voted in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting, representing
more than 82percent of the shares entitled to be voted.
