The information set forth in Item 5.07 regarding the reclassification of certain members of the board is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
On May 19, 2015, the Company held its annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). Of the 29,470,929 shares of common stock eligible to vote at the Annual Meeting, 28,158,149 shares were represented in person or by proxy, representing approximately 95.55% of the outstanding shares. At the Annual Meeting, the common stockholders elected the four director nominees as directors to serve three-year terms until 2018, and approved each of the two additional proposals listed below. Further detail on each of the matters voted on by the common stockholders is available in the Company’s proxy statement.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting and in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 14, 2015, the Company conducted a limited restructuring of the classes of the board of Directors (the “Board”). Immediately prior to the Annual Meeting, Barry Finn, who was a director in the class with a term expiring in 2017, resigned from that class and he stood for election as a director in the class with a term expiring in 2018. Mr. Finn was elected by the stockholders, as set forth below. Mr. Finn will continue to serve on the Company’s Audit Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Additionally, J. Douglas Cheatham was elected by stockholders to serve in the class of directors with a term expiring in 2018. Following the Annual Meeting, and as contemplated in the proxy statement, Mr. Cheatham resigned from that class and was immediately appointed by the Board to serve in the class of directors with a term expiring in 2017. Following the Annual Meeting, the Board also reduced the size of the Board from ten directors to nine directors.
Following the Annual Meeting and the events described above, James Eccher, Gerald Palmer and Barry Finn were directors in the class with a term expiring in 2018; Edward Bonifas, William Skoglund and Duane Suits were directors in the class with a term expiring in 2016; and William Kane, John Ladowicz and J. Douglas Cheatham were directors in the class with a term expiring in 2017.
