We฀ have฀ adopted฀ a฀ procedure฀ approved฀ by฀ the฀ SEC฀ called฀ “householding.”฀ Under฀ this฀ procedure,฀
shareholders of record who have the same address and last name will receive only one copy of the Notice
of฀Availability฀of฀Proxy฀Materials฀(or฀proxy฀materials฀in฀the฀case฀of฀shareholders฀who฀receive฀paper฀copies฀
of฀such฀materials)฀unless฀one฀or฀more฀of฀these฀shareholders฀notifies฀us฀that฀they฀wish฀to฀continue฀receiving฀
individual copies. This procedure will reduce our printing costs and postage fees. Householding will not in
any฀way฀affect฀dividend฀check฀mailings.
