Anna Manning was nominated for election as a director at the meeting. However, due to her personal circumstances she did not stand for election and her appointment has been deferred. Anna is an accomplished executive and we are very excited that she has agreed to join Manulife's board, and we expect she will be appointed in the next quarter. We look forward to welcoming her to the board at that time.
Final voting results on all matters voted on at the Annual Meeting will be available shortly on our website (www.manulife.com/annualmeeting)and will be filed with Canadian and U.S. securities regulators.
