The only proposal submitted for a vote of the shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting was the approval of the adjournment of such meeting (the "Adjournment Proposal") pursuant to Article 22.7 of the Amended and Restated Articles of Association of the Company in order to provide additional time for the Company to receive redemption request withdrawals to facilitate the Company's ongoing compliance with the continued listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange.

The following is a tabulation of the votes with respect to the Adjournment Proposal, which was approved by the Company's shareholders:
