          Item 4.  Ownership

 

          The securities reported herein are beneficially owned by one or more open ‑ or closed ‑

          end investment companies or other managed accounts that are investment management clients

          of investment managers that are direct and indirect subsidiaries (each, an “Investment

          Management Subsidiary” and, collectively, the “Investment Management Subsidiaries”) of

          Franklin Resources, Inc.(“FRI”), including the Investment Management Subsidiaries listed

          in this Item 4. When an investment management contract (including a sub‑advisory

          agreement) delegates to an Investment Management Subsidiary investment discretion or

          voting power over the securities held in the investment advisory accounts that are subject

          to that agreement, FRI treats the Investment Management Subsidiary as having sole

          investment discretion or voting authority, as the case may be, unless the agreement

          specifies otherwise. Accordingly, each Investment Management Subsidiary 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, the Investment

          Management Subsidiaries listed in this Item 4 may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of

          the securities reported in this Schedule 13G.

 

 

          Beneficial ownership by Investment Management Subsidiaries and other FRI affiliates 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 Franklin Mutual

          Advisers, LLC (“FMA”), an indirect wholly‑owned Investment Management Subsidiary, are

          exercised independently from FRI and from all other Investment Management Subsidiaries

          (FRI, its affiliates and the 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.  FRI and the Principal Shareholders may be deemed to be, for purposes of Rule 13d‑3

          under the Act, the beneficial owners of securities held by persons and entities for whom

          or for which FRI subsidiaries provide investment management services.  The number of

          shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned and the percentage of the class of

          which such shares are a part are reported in Items 9 and 11 of the cover pages for FRI and

          each of the Principal Shareholders.  FRI, the Principal Shareholders and each of the

          Investment Management Subsidiaries disclaim any pecuniary interest in any of  such

          securities.  In addition, the filing of this Schedule 13G on behalf of the Principal

          Shareholders, FRI and the FRI affiliates, as applicable, should not be construed as an

          admission that any of them is, and each  of them disclaims that it is, the beneficial

          owner, as defined in Rule 13d‑3, of any of the securities reported in this Schedule 13G.

 

 

          FRI, the Principal Shareholders, and each of the Investment Management Subsidiaries

          believe that they are not 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 held by any of them or by any persons or entities for whom or for which

          the Investment Management Subsidiaries provide investment management services.
