The Board is pleased that all resolutions were duly passed, but notes that the percentage of votes cast against Resolution 7 was over 20%. The Board is pleased that Resolution 7 was passed with the support of the majority of the Company’s shareholders. However, because the views of all of the Company’s shareholders are extremely important to the Board, it will be surveying investors on this resolution to better understand the reasons for their opposition. An update on this conversation will be provided within six months.
