As a result of stockholder voting indicating a preference in favor of an annual advisory vote on executive compensation, the Board of Directors has decided to include an advisory stockholder vote on executive compensation in Cimarex’s proxy materials each year until the next required advisory vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation.
