Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On June 4, 2021, the Company held its 2021 annual meeting (the "Annual Meeting")
of stockholders (the "Stockholders") virtually. The matters submitted to the
Stockholders for a vote at the Annual Meeting were set forth in the Company's
Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule DEF 14A, which was filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2021 (the "Proxy Statement") and
distributed to the Stockholders. Stockholders representing 23,313,256 or 86.59%
of the shares of the Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote as of the
record date, May 3, 2021, were represented virtually at the meeting either in
person or by proxy.
The matters proposed to the Stockholders for a vote were: (i) the election of
each of John R. Loftus, Joel S. Friedman, Jim R. Ruth, Alexandra C. Griffin and
Allison M. DeStefano as members of the Company's Board of Directors; (ii) the
ratification of the Company's appointment of Whitley Penn LLP as the Company's
independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2021; and (iii) to adjourn the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to
solicit additional proxies in favor of proposals one through two.
The final voting results of the Annual Meeting are set forth below.
Proposal One
The nominees named in the Proxy Statement (the "Proxy Statement Nominees") were
elected to the Board of Directors to serve until the next annual meeting of
Stockholders and until their respective successors are duly-elected and
qualified (or until their death, resignation or removal, if earlier). The Proxy
Statement Nominees were the only nominees to receive votes for their election at
the meeting, and the Proxy Statement Nominees constitute the five nominees
receiving the highest number of votes in favor of their election as directors.
The results of the vote with respect to their respective elections were as
follows:
