NOTE:
NWQ Investment Management Company LLC ("NWQ") previously reported beneficial
ownership positions for securities that were subject to voting and investment
discretion exercised by NWQ and Tradewinds Global Investors LLC ("Tradewinds"),
an affiliate. 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 NWQ's beneficial ownership of the Issuer's
securities independently from that of Tradewinds.
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 of 1934, as amended,
and Regulation 13D/G thereunder.
