a. Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “If a proposal requires a majority of votes cast, abstentions typically have no effect because they are not considered "votes cast." If a proposal requires either (i) a majority of shares of Common Stock present at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal or (ii) a majority of all outstanding shares of Common Stock, abstentions will effectively count as votes against such proposal because they are included in the total number of shares of Common Stock present or outstanding but do not contribute to the affirmative vote count.”.
b. Voting standard not stated in the filing.
c. Voting standard not stated in the filing.
Approval percentages are the company’s own reported computations under its own stated standard, not recomputed by Velarion. Where a company does not state a standard, none is assumed.
