We'll now continue with the business of the meeting. In accordance with the company's majority voting policy, we will have individual voting for directors to be conducted by way of online ballot. To be approved, each director must be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting. As previously noted, if you have previously submitted a completed proxy and you vote again during the online ballot during the meeting, your online vote during the meeting will revoke your previously submitted proxy. If you have already voted by proxy and you not wish to revoke your previously submitted proxy, do not vote again during the online ballot.
The next item of business is the advisory vote on the compensation of the company's named executive officers. As described in the proxy statement, shareholders are asked to consider, and if thought advisable, to approve the ordinary resolution on the compensation of the company's named executive officers. This vote is advisory only and nonbinding on the company and the Board of Directors. However, the Board of Directors and its compensation committee will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for the company's named executive officers. The full text of the advisory resolution is set out on Page 69 of the proxy statement. To be approved, the advisory resolution must be passed by a majority of the votes cast at the meeting.
