Item 4. Ownership.
INVESCO North American Holdings, Inc. (“INAH”) is a holding company many of whose direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries engage in investment advisory services for investment companies and other clients. INAH is reporting solely on behalf of the subsidiaries listed on Exhibit 1 (the “INAH Subsidiaries”) and not on behalf of other subsidiaries who may file separately on Schedule 13G. INVESCO Asset Management Limited (“IAML”) is an investment adviser that is affiliated with INAH. Both INAH and IAML are indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of AMVESCAP PLC.
The INAH Subsidiaries exercise voting power with respect to securities over which they have investment discretion jointly but exercise dispositive power with respect to such securities independently of each other. Additionally, the INAH subsidiaries, on the one hand, and IAML, on the other, exercise voting and dispositive power independently of each other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998), INAH and IAML believe that attribution of the securities over which the INAH Subsidiaries and IAML have investment discretion should be reported on an aggregated basis for purposes of this Schedule 13G.
