The Company’s stockholders elected three directors, each for a three year term expiring in 2021. The number of shares that: (i) voted for the election of each such director; (ii) withheld authority to vote for each such director; and (iii) represented broker non-votes with respect to each such director is summarized in the table below.

On an advisory basis, the Company’s stockholders approved the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as such compensation information was disclosed in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 28, 2018, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and other narrative disclosures included therein. The table below summarizes the number of shares that voted for, against and abstained from voting on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as well as the number of shares representing broker non-votes with respect to such advisory vote.

The Company’s stockholders ratified the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019. The number of shares that voted for, against and abstained from voting for the ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 is summarized in the table below.


Votes For	Votes Against	Abstentions
8,752,813	147,907	21,933

* Broker non-votes represent shares held by broker nominees for beneficial owners that were not voted with respect to a non-routine proposal because the broker nominee did not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner and lacked discretionary authority to vote the shares. If a broker does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner, a broker may vote on routine matters, such as the ratification of the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, but may not vote on non-routine matters. Broker non-votes are counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum but are not counted for the purpose of determining the number of shares entitled to vote on non-routine matters such as an election of directors or the advisory vote on the Company’s named executive officer compensation.
