Guidance, Outlook, and Regulatory Commentary
Based on the voting results, the Board determined that the Company will hold an advisory vote on executive compensation every three years. The filing notes that the SEC adopted final rules regarding say-on-pay and say-when-on-pay on February 8, 2011. However, the Company, as a smaller reporting company, received temporary relief from compliance with these regulations until its first Annual Meeting on or after January 21, 2013. The Company anticipates seeking advisory shareholder votes regarding compensation and frequency at that future meeting.
Important Facts for Investors to Verify
- Confirmation that the Board will implement the three-year frequency for executive compensation advisory votes as voted by shareholders.
- Verification of the Company's compliance timeline with SEC Rule 14a-21, specifically the exemption period ending January 21, 2013.
- Review of the specific executive compensation packages approved in Proposal 2, as the filing only provides vote totals.
