Item 3. This statement is filed pursuant to Rule 13d-1(b) or 13d-2 and the person filing is: Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC, an investment adviser in accordance with Section 240.13d-1(b)1(ii)(E). (Note: See Item 4)
Item 4. Ownership
The securities reported on herein are beneficially owned by one or more open-end investment companies or other managed accounts which, pursuant to advisory contracts, are advised by Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC ("FMA"), formerly Franklin Mutual Advisers, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc. ("FRI"). Such advisory contracts grant to FMA all investment and voting power over the securities owned by such advisory clients. Therefore, FMA may be deemed to be, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") the beneficial owner of the securities covered by this statement.
Beneficial ownership by investment advisory 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, its parent holding company, and from all other investment advisor subsidiaries of FRI (FRI, its affiliates and investment advisor subsidiaries other than FMA are collectively referred to herein as “FRI affiliates”). Furthermore, FMA and FRI internal policies and procedures 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 advisory clients. Consequently, FMA and the FRI affiliates each report the securities over which they hold investment and voting power separately from each other.
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 shareholders of FRI. However, because FMA exercises voting and investment powers on behalf of its advisory 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 economic interest or beneficial ownership in any of the securities covered by this statement.
Furthermore, FMA is of the view that it is not acting as a "group" with FRI, the Principal Shareholders, or their respective affiliates for purposes of Section 13(d) under the 1934 Act and that none of them are otherwise required to attribute to each other the "beneficial ownership" of securities held by any of them or by any persons or entities advised by FRI subsidiaries.
