Both proposals were approved by Company shareholders. In connection with the Meeting, the Company also solicited proxies with respect to a proposal to adjourn the Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, in the event there were not sufficient votes in favor of the merger proposal at the time of the Meeting. Because the shareholders approved the merger proposal at the Meeting, the adjournment proposal was not submitted to the shareholders.
