On the most widely held item on that ballot — An advisory, non-binding resolution to approve our executive compensation. — FOR was 83% of the votes cast (FOR divided by FOR plus AGAINST, the conventional basis for proxy support; abstentions, broker non-votes and unvoted shares are excluded because none of them took a side), which is more than half.
