(7) No vote is being reported for a shareholder proposal to require an
independent board chairman because it was not presented at the annual meeting
by the shareholder proponent or a designee of the shareholder proponent as
required, and therefore, was not acted upon by the shareholders. However, if
the shareholder proposal had been acted upon, this proposal would have been
defeated by over a majority of the votes cast based on proxies delivered
prior to the closing of the polls for the annual meeting.
(8) A shareholder proposal to conduct an independent investigation and report on
risk posed by failing to prevent sexual harassment, as described in the proxy
statement, was not approved.
