With respect to Proposals 2 and 3, the votes cast within the voting group favoring each proposal exceeded the votes cast opposing each proposal and therefore passed. The votes cast within the voting group favoring Proposal 4 did not exceed the votes cast opposing Proposal 4 and therefore Proposal 4 was not approved.
