Item 4. Ownership
The securities reported herein are beneficially owned by one or more open‑end investment
companies or other managed accounts that are investment management clients of Franklin
Mutual Advisers, LLC ("FMA"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources,
Inc. ("FRI"). When an investment management contract (including a sub‑advisory
agreement) delegates to FMA investment discretion or voting power over the securities
held in the investment advisory accounts that are subject to that agreement, FRI treats
FMA as having sole investment discretion or voting authority, as the case may be, unless
the agreement specifies otherwise. Accordingly, FMA reports on Schedule 13G that it has
sole investment discretion and voting authority over the securities covered by any such
investment management agreement, unless otherwise noted in this Item 4. As a result for
purposes of Rule 13d‑3 under the Act, FMA may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of
the securities reported in this Schedule 13G.
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 (FMA’s 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 affiliates 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 affiliates, beneficial ownership of
the securities reported by FMA is not attributed to the Principal Shareholders. FMA
disclaims any pecuniary interest in any of the securities reported in this Schedule 13G.
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 such securities.
Furthermore, FMA believes that it is not a "group" with FRI affiliates, the Principal
Shareholders, or their respective affiliates within the meaning of Rule 13d‑5 under the
Act and that none of them is otherwise required to attribute to any other the beneficial
ownership of the securities held by such person or by any persons or entities for whom
or for which FMA or the FRI affiliates provide investment management
services.
