Item 8.01 Other Events

Set forth below are the certified voting results for the matters submitted to a vote of shareholders at the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 9, 2007. These voting results are being provided in this Current Report since certification of the results by the inspector of election for the Annual Meeting was completed on May 15, 2007 and the results therefore were not announced at the Annual Meeting.

For the 2007 Annual Meeting:
Total eligible votes were 1,518,068,830; Total votes cast were 1,091,672,488; and Percentage of total eligible votes voted (i.e., quorum) was 71.91%.

Each director is elected by a majority of the votes cast with respect to that director's election (by the holders of shares of common stock and ESOP preference stock present in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote, voting as a single class). Votes "against" a director's election count as a vote cast, but "abstentions" and "broker non-votes" do not count as a vote cast with respect to that director's election.
