CUSIP NO. 640079109   13G   Page 6 of 8 Pages

 

    (iii)    Sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of:
       AGIC: 94,900
       NFJ: 819,673
    (iv)    Shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of:  0

Each of AGIC and NFJ is an investment adviser registered under Section 203 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. NFJ is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AGIC, which is an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Asset Management of America L.P. (“AAM LP”).

The securities reported herein are held by investment advisory clients or discretionary accounts of which AGIC and/or NFJ is the investment adviser. Investment advisory contracts grant to each of AGIC or NFJ voting and/or investment power over the securities held by each of their respective clients or in accounts that each of them manages. As a result, each may be deemed to beneficially own the securities held by its clients or accounts within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Act. Because AGIC is the parent holding company of NFJ, AGIC may be deemed to beneficially own the securities held by NFJ’s clients or accounts.

In conformity with the guidelines articulated by the SEC staff in Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998) relating to organizations in which related entities exercise voting and investment powers over the securities being reported independently from each other, this filing does not reflect securities beneficially owned by affiliates of AAM LP other than AGIC and NFJ. The voting and investment powers held by AGIC, NFJ and Allianz Global Investors Capital Limited (“AGICL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AGIC and investment adviser that does not advise accounts that hold and does not otherwise beneficially own, any of the securities reported in this Schedule 13G, are exercised independently from AAM LP’s other affiliates. Furthermore, internal policies and procedures of AGIC, NFJ and AGICL establish informational barriers that prevent the flow between them and the rest of AAM LP’s affiliates of information that relates to the voting and investment powers over the securities held in the accounts that AGIC, NFJ and AGICL manage. Consequently, AGIC, NFJ and AGICL report the securities over which they hold investment and voting power separately from AAM LP and its other affiliates for purposes of Section 13 of the Act.

AGIC and NFJ believe that none of AGIC, NFJ, AGICL, AAM LP or any of AAM LP’s other affiliates constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Act and that they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other the beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein held by any of them or by any persons or entities for whom or for which AGIC, NFJ or such other affiliates provide investment management services. Each of AGIC and NFJ also disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of that filer’s pecuniary interest therein.

 

Item 5     Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.

If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following  ¨.

 

Item 6     Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person.

Each client of AGIC and NFJ has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of the securities reported herein. Allianz NFJ Small-Cap Value Fund, an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, holds 756,613 shares, or 5%, of the class of such securities.
