The proposals considered at the Annual Meeting are described in detail in the Company's definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2015 (the "Proxy Statement"). As of March 27, 2015, the record date, 13,516,766 shares of common stock were entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

At the Annual Meeting, T. Ulrich Brechbuhl  was elected to the Company's Board of Directors to serve for a term of three years or until his successor is duly elected and qualified.  The Company's stockholders also approved a proposal to authorize the Company to issue warrants, options or rights to subscribe to, convert to, or purchase the Company's common stock in one or more offerings.  In addition, the Company's stockholders voted to approve the adjournment of the Annual Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies.

Stockholders of record at the close of business on March 27, 2015 are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the 2015 annual meeting and any adjournment or postponement of the meeting.  Stockholders who have already voted on the second proposal found in the Proxy Statement need not submit another vote unless they wish to change their votes.  Stockholders who have not voted or wish to change their vote on the second proposal found in the Proxy Statement are encouraged to do so promptly.  You may vote by signing your proxy card and returning it promptly in the self-addressed envelope provided with your proxy card. You may also vote your proxy electronically by telephone or over the Internet by following the instructions included with your proxy card. The Company's proxy statement and annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 are available on the Internet at www.edocumentview.com/ABDC.
