FOOTNOTE: Tradewinds Global Investors, LLC ("Tradewinds") is an affiliate of NWQ
Investment Management Company, LLC ("NWQ"). NWQ previously had reported
beneficial ownership of the Issuer's securities under Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and Regulation 13D/G
thereunder on behalf of itself and Tradewinds. Tradewinds was formed as a legal
entity in the fourth quarter of 2005 and commenced operation in 2006. Since that
time, the two firms worked to achieve operational separation of their investment
management and proxy voting functions, which separation was completed as of June
30, 2007. Accordingly, this filing is being made to report Tradewinds'
beneficial ownership of the Issuer's securities independently from that of NWQ
and, because Tradewinds' current position is under 5%, this filing will
constitute an exit filing.
Both NWQ and Tradewinds are wholly owned subsidiaries of Nuveen Investments,
Inc. ("Nuveen"), a parent company with several subsidiaries engaged in the
investment management business. Nuveen has adopted internal operating policies
to ensure that investment management and voting decisions are made independently
by investment personnel at its investment management subsidiaries. Accordingly,
hereafter NWQ and Tradewinds (like Nuveen's other investment management
subsidiaries) anticipate independently reporting beneficial ownership of
securities pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13D/G
thereunder.
