Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s shareholders voted on, among other matters, an advisory proposal concerning the frequency of future advisory votes on named executive officer compensation. As reported in the Original 8-K, more than a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders were in favor of holding future advisory votes on named executive officer compensation once every year. Based on these results, the Company intends to hold the advisory vote on named executive officer compensation once every year. The Company intends to continue holding such advisory votes once every year until the next required vote on the frequency of advisory votes on named executive officer compensation, which will be no later than the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2023, or until the Board of Directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for such advisory votes is in the best interests of the Company.
