Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is
defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Based on our
evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2014.
The Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has audited the effectiveness of
the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, as stated in their report, which is included herein.
