The shareholder proposal recommending the hiring of an investment banking firm to pursue a liquidity event for the Company was withdrawn by the proponent prior to the 2016 Annual Meeting and therefore was not voted upon at the 2016 Annual Meeting.

As a result of the stockholder vote at the 2016 Annual Meeting, (i) each of the director nominees listed above was elected to serve until the 2017 Annual Meeting and (ii) the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2016 was ratified.
