In line with this vote and after considering the matter, our Board of Directors has decided that it will include an advisory shareholder vote on executive compensation in our proxy materials every year until the next advisory vote on the frequency of shareholder votes on executive compensation, which will occur no later than our Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2017.
