Although Proposal 1, Proposal 3, and Proposal 4 each received over 90% support among the votes cast, they were not approved because they required affirmative votes from more than 50% of all 512,943,561 eligible outstanding shares. Voter participation for each proposal was only about 35% of the eligible shares, leaving the proposals short of the required threshold despite overwhelming support from those who voted.
