Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
At our Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on August 2, 2011, the following five matters were submitted to a vote of our stockholders: (1) election of a board of seven directors; (2) a proposal to approve our 2011 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors; (3) a proposal to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012; (4) a proposal to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation paid to our named executive officers for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011; and (5) a proposal to select, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the frequency (i.e., once every “1 year,” “2 years,” or “3 years”) of holding an advisory stockholder vote to approve the compensation paid to our named executive officers.
Each of the nominees for election to the Board of Directors was elected to serve on our Board of Directors until our 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until the election and qualification of their respective successors. The results of the vote on the election of directors are shown in the table below.
