Item 5.07
|
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
|
On October 30, 2012, the Company held its Annual Meeting of Limited Partners (the “Meeting”). The total number of limited partnership units of the Company voted in person or by proxy at the Meeting was 20,031,422, representing approximately 62.36 % of the 32,122,686 outstanding units (which number of outstanding units included 1,345,646 units held by an affiliate of the Company, which were determined not to be entitled to be voted at the Meeting, and accordingly were not so voted). The matter voted on by unitholders and the number of (and percentage of shares voted at the Meeting represented by) votes cast for or withheld is set forth below. There were no broker non-votes with respect to the election of directors.
Proposal 1. To elect five independent members to the Board of Directors of the General Partner of the Company, each to serve until the annual meeting of limited partners in fiscal year 2013 and until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified:
