(d) Disclosure Regarding Frequency of Stockholder Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation:
A majority of the votes cast by stockholders voted, on an advisory basis, to hold an advisory vote to approve executive compensation every year. In line with this recommendation by our stockholders, the Board of Directors has decided that it will include an advisory stockholder vote on executive compensation in its proxy materials every year until the next advisory vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation, which will occur no later than our 2017 Annual Meeting.
