Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
We mailed a Proxy Statement on or about August 18, 2011 to our stockholders of record as of July 29, 2011 in connection with our 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was held on September 16, 2011 at the Sherwood Country Club, 320 West Stafford Road, Thousand Oaks, California, 91361. At the Meeting, the stockholders voted on four matters. One of the matters was the election of directors and the slate of nominees were elected; another matter was the ratification of our auditors which was approved; and the remaining two matters were advisory votes concerning executive compensation, which was approved, and the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation with the result selected being an annual vote.
The first matter was the election of the members of the Board of Directors. The six directors elected and the tabulation of the votes (both in person and by proxy) was as follows:
