At the Company’s recent annual shareholder meeting held April 27, 2011, shareholders voted “no” on MDC’s say on pay provision. The investigation concerns whether certain senior officers and executives of MDC’s were awarded salaries, bonuses, and/or other forms of compensation that were excessive or unwarranted based on the MDC’s performance.

Specifically, MDC’s CEO total compensation rose from $6.5 million in 2008 to $9.2 million in 2010 and its COO pay increased from about $7.3 million in 2008 to $9 million in 2010. Executive pay was increased despite the fact that MDC’s annual revenue fell from $2.885 billion in 2007 to $958.65 million in 2010.
