. In formulating its recommendation, our Board considered that a triennial vote will allow stockholders to better evaluate our executive compensation program in relation to our short- and long -termcompany performance. Additionally, a triennial vote will provide us with time to respond to stockholder concerns and implement appropriate revisions. The proxy card provides stockholders with the opportunity to choose among four options (holding the advisory vote on executive compensation every one, two or three years, or abstain from voting) and, therefore, stockholders will not be voting to approve or disapprove the recommendation of the Board. You may cast your vote on your preferred voting frequency by choosing the option of once every year (“1 year”), once every two years (“2 years”), once every three years (“3 years”), or you may abstain from voting. The option of one year, two years or three years that receives the highest number of votes cast by stockholders will be considered the frequency for the advisory vote on executive compensation that is preferred by our stockholders. However, because this vote is advisory and not binding on the Board or the Company in any way, the Board may decide that it is in the best interests of our stockholders and the Company to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation more or less frequently than the option preferred by our stockholders. Vote Required and Board of Directors’ Recommendation Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of our common stock present online or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on such proposal. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Broker non -voteswill have no effect on this proposal. In the event that no option receives a majority of the votes cast, the Board will consider the option of one year, two years or three years that receives the most votes at the Annual Meeting as the recommended choice of the Company's stockholders. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR A THREE YEAR (3-YEAR) FREQUENCY FOR THE ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION. 13 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Corporate Governance Guidelines Our Board of Directors has adopted corporate governance guidelines to assist it in the exercise of its responsibilities and to serve the interests of the Company and our stockholders.
