entitled to one vote.

A total of 92,670,673 shares of the Companys common stock were

abstentions and broker non-votes, as applicable, with respect to
each matter is set forth below.

William M. Byerley	78,597,466	295,654	29,411	13,748,142
Julia P. Forrester	78,684,010	209,861	28,660	13,748,142
Kenneth L. Stewart	78,686,829	206,291	29,411	13,748,142

Proposal 2: Approval of the Amendment to the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Formation to Increase the Amount of Authorized
Common Stock

The shareholders approved the amendment to the Companys Amended
and Restated Certificate of Formation to increase the amount of
authorized common stock (the Amendment). On June 2, 2017, the
Company filed a certificate of amendment with the Secretary of
State of the State of Texas related to the Amendment, and the
Amendment became effective upon acceptance by the Secretary of
State of the State of Texas.

*The Company considered the approval of the Amendment to be a
non-routine matter under applicable New York Stock Exchange (the
NYSE) rules, and therefore the Companys definitive proxy
statement with respect to the Annual Meeting provided that
brokers and other nominees could not vote shares with respect to
approval of the Amendment without receiving specific voting
instructions. However, the NYSE deemed the approval of the
Amendment to be a routine matter on which brokers were allowed to
vote shares without specific instructions. The table above sets
forth the voting results giving effect to the NYSEs position. If
the approval of the Amendment had been deemed by the NYSE to be a
non-routine matter, the shareholder vote results would have been
as set forth below. In short, the Amendment received a sufficient
number of votes to be approved at the Annual Meeting regardless
of whether such matter was considered a routine matter or a
non-routine matter.

Proposal 3: Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

The shareholders approved the non-binding advisory resolution
approving the compensation of the Companys named executive
officers.

Proposal 4: Proposal to Ratify the Appointment of KPMG LLP as the
Companys Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the
Year Ending December 31, 2017

The shareholders ratified the appointment of KPMG LLP as the
Companys independent registered public accounting firm for the
year ending December 31, 2017.
