(
On July 1, 2009, the SEC approved a proposal prohibiting discretionary voting by brokers of shares held by their customers in street name in uncontested elections of directors effective for shareholder meetings beginning in 2010. Brokers may continue to vote as they wish on routine matters (such as ratification of auditors) on behalf of their beneficial owner customers provided the customer has not given specific voting instructions to the broker at least 10 days before a scheduled meeting.
The results of the SEC’s July 2009 action are reflected in the difference between voting totals for our ratification of auditors proposal as compared to the voting totals for our election of directors proposal. [NOTE: there were over 330M votes counted for the ratification of auditors vote so there are quite a few non voted shares for the BOD election] )
