ITEM 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
Results of Annual Meeting of Stockholders
On September 13, 2010, the Company filed a Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to an annual meeting of our stockholders to be held on October 26, 2010. The purpose of the annual meeting was to vote on the following proposals: (1) to elect seven directors to serve on the Board of Directors until the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders or until their respective successors are elected and qualified; and (2) to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2010.
The Board fixed the close of business on September 10, 2010 as the record date for identifying those stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote, at the annual meeting. On September 15, 2010, the notice of annual meeting, proxy statement and proxy cards were first mailed to stockholders along with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009. On October 26, 2010, the Company conducted its annual meeting of stockholders and all proposals were approved.
On October 26, 2010, 53,678,453 shares were represented in person or by proxy at the meeting, which reflected approximately 84% of total shares outstanding. This share amount reflects the addition of certain shares that the Company holds as treasury shares in a segregated brokerage account. The vote totals on the two proposals were as follows:
