Corporate Governance and Voting Results
Shareholders voted on two primary proposals:

- Ratification of Auditor: Shareholders ratified CohnReznick LLP as the independent audit firm for 2014.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the total number of shares outstanding to contextualize the voting percentages.
- Note the high volume of broker non-votes (888,613) for the trustee elections, which may indicate a significant portion of shares held in street name where brokers lacked discretionary voting power.
- Confirm the term length for the newly elected trustees is one year as stated.
- Review the referenced proxy statement dated April 26, 2013, for detailed background on the nominees and proposals.
