Item 4. |
Ownership |
|
The securities reported herein (the Securities) are beneficially owned by one or more open-end investment companies |
|
or other managed accounts which, pursuant to investment management contracts, are managed by Franklin Mutual |
|
Advisers, LLC ("FMA"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc. ("FRI"). Such investment |
|
management contracts grant to FMA all investment and voting power over the securities owned by such investment |
|
management clients. Therefore, FMA may be deemed to be, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Act, the beneficial |
|
owner of the Securities. |
|
Beneficial ownership by investment management subsidiaries and other affiliates of FRI is being reported in conformity |
|
with the guidelines articulated by the SEC staff in Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998) relating to organizations, |
|
such as FRI, where related entities exercise voting and investment powers over the securities being reported |
|
independently from each other. The voting and investment powers held by FMA are exercised independently from FRI |
|
(FMAs parent holding company) and from all other investment management subsidiaries of FRI (FRI, its affiliates and |
|
investment management subsidiaries other than FMA are, collectively, FRI affiliates). Furthermore, internal policies |
|
and procedures of FMA and FRI establish informational barriers that prevent the flow between FMA and the FRI |
|
affiliates of information that relates to the voting and investment powers over the securities owned by their respective |
|
investment management clients. Consequently, FMA and the FRI affiliates report the securities over which they hold |
|
investment and voting power separately from each other for purposes of Section 13 of the Act. |
|
Charles B. Johnson and Rupert H. Johnson, Jr. (the "Principal Shareholders") each own in excess of 10% of the |
|
outstanding common stock of FRI and are the principal stockholders of FRI. However, because FMA exercises |
|
voting and investment powers on behalf of its investment management clients independently of FRI, the Principal |
|
Shareholders, and their respective affiliates, beneficial ownership of the securities being reported by FMA is being |
|
attributed only to FMA. FMA disclaims any pecuniary interest in any of the Securities. In addition, the filing of this |
|
Schedule 13G on behalf of FMA should not be construed as an admission that it is, and it disclaims that it is, the |
|
beneficial owner, as defined in Rule 13d-3, of any of the Securities. |
|
CUSIP NO. |

|
Furthermore, FMA believes that it is not a "group" with FRI, the Principal Shareholders, or their respective |
|
affiliates within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Act and that none of them are otherwise required to attribute |
|
to each other the beneficial ownership of the Securities held by any of them or by any persons or entities for |
|
whom or for which FMA or the FRI affiliates provide investment management services. |
