EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
We are filing this Amendment No. 1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 27, 2011 for the sole purpose of disclosing the Company’s decision as to the frequency with which it will include advisory votes on executive compensation in future annual meeting proxy materials.
 
Item 5.07.    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
 
As previously reported, at our 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, 66.8% of the votes cast voted, on an advisory basis, to hold future advisory votes on executive compensation on a triennial basis.  In addition, 96.1% of the votes cast voted, on an advisory basis, in favor of the compensation of our named executive officers. After consideration of the shareholder voting results, our Board of Directors has determined that we will hold at least triennial advisory votes on executive compensation.  However, the Board reserves the right to hold advisory votes on executive compensation more frequently than triennially if it believes that circumstances so warrant.
