Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the full text of the Amended and Restated 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan referenced in the 2016 Proxy Statement (Exhibit A) to understand dilution potential.
- Review the 2016 Proxy Statement filed on March 23, 2016, for detailed biographies of the newly elected directors and specific executive compensation metrics.
- Confirm the broker non-vote count of 9,193,354 shares, which indicates a significant portion of shares held in street name were not voted on director elections and the incentive plan.
- Check subsequent filings (e.g., 10-K or 10-Q) for the actual financial performance of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, as this 8-K contains no financial data.
