As reported in the Original Report, a fifth matter scheduled to be voted upon at the 2012 Annual Meeting and described in the Proxy Statement was a stockholder proposal submitted by Icahn Capital LP and certain affiliated entities, which are a group of hedge funds led by Carl Icahn (collectively, the "Icahn Group") that would repeal any provision of the Company's Bylaws in effect at the time of the 2012 Annual Meeting that was not included in the Company's Bylaws as publicly filed prior to June 18, 2012. As no amendments to the Company's Bylaws as publicly filed prior to June 18, 2012 had been adopted, a representative of the Icahn Group agreed to withdraw the proposal on behalf of the Icahn Group, and the Icahn Group proposal was not included in the matters voted upon at the 2012 Annual Meeting.
