 but our Board of Directors and the Audit Committee believe the submission provides an opportunity for stockholders through their vote to communicate with the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee about an important aspect of corporate governance. If the stockholders do not ratify the selection of BDO, the Audit Committee will reconsider, but will not be required to rescind, the selection of that firm as our independent registered public accounting firm. Representatives of BDO will attend the Annual Meeting and may make a statement if they wish. They will be available to answer appropriate questions at the Annual Meeting.
