Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 7, 2011, updates Item 5.07, Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders, regarding the results of the annual meeting of shareowners of the Company held on February 1, 2011, to disclose the decision of the Company’s Board of Directors regarding how frequently it will include an advisory shareowner vote on the compensation of its named executive officers in its proxy materials. This Amendment No. 1 does not make any other changes to the original Form 8-K.


At the annual meeting of shareowners of the Company held on February 1, 2011, shareowners approved on an advisory basis the holding of a shareowner vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers on an annual basis by a vote as follows:

One Year 61,862,731
Two Years 1,535,103
Three Years 30,762,807
Abstain 2,390,035
Broker Nonvotes 17,425,323


In light of these voting results and other factors considered by the Board, at a meeting held on June 2, 2011, the Board determined that the Company will include an advisory shareowner vote on the compensation of its named executive officers in its proxy materials every year until the next required advisory vote on the frequency of shareowner votes on executive compensation, which will occur no later than the Company’s annual meeting of shareowners in 2017.
