1.

The Company’s shareholders elected four Class III directors of the Company, who comprise all the directors of such class. The number of shares that: (i) voted for the election of such director; (ii) withheld authority to vote for such director; and (iii) represent broker non-votes with respect to such director is summarized in the table below.

 

Director Nominee		Votes For		Votes Withheld		Broker Non-Votes*
Peter L. Briger, Jr.		319,836,535		13,860,921		42,184,343

2.

The Company’s shareholders ratified the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2010. The number of shares that voted for, against and abstained from voting for the ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP is summarized in the table below.

 

Votes For		Votes Against		Abstentions
375,252,160		395,457		234,182

 

*

Broker non-votes represent shares held by broker nominees for beneficial owners that were not voted with respect to a non-routine proposal because the broker nominee did not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner and lacked discretionary authority to vote the shares. If a broker does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner, a broker may vote on routine matters but may not vote on non-routine matters. Broker non-votes are counted for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum but are not counted for the purpose of determining the number of shares entitled to vote on non-routine matters such as an election of director.
