Stockholders representing 23,257,016 or 86.38% of the shares of the Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date, April 20, 2022, were represented virtually at the meeting either in person or by proxy.

The matters proposed to the Stockholders for a vote were: (i) the election of each of John R. Loftus, Jim R. Ruth, Alexandra C. Griffin, Allison M. DeStefano and Richard D. Schepp as members of the Company's Board of Directors; (ii) the ratification of the Company's appointment of Whitley Penn LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022; (iii) advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers; (iv) advisory vote to determine the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation: and (v) to adjourn the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in favor of proposals one through four.
