EXHIBIT A

 

RELEVANT SUBSIDIARIES OF PARENT HOLDING COMPANY

 

PART A: TCW ENTITIES

 

Parent Holding Company:

 

The TCW Group, Inc.

 

Relevant Subsidiaries that are persons described in Rule 13d-1(b):

 

(i)                                     TCW Asset Management Company, a California corporation and an Investment Adviser registered under Section 203 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

 

This Schedule 13G is being filed by the TCW Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“TCW”), on behalf of itself and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, which collectively constitute The TCW Group, Inc. business unit (the “TCW Business Unit” or the “Reporting Person”).  The TCW Business Unit is primarily engaged in the provision of investment management services.

 

As of December 31, 2012, the TCW Business Unit was independently operated and its ultimate parent was Société Générale, S.A., (“SG”).  As of February 6, 2013, the TCW Business Unit is majority owned by investment funds affiliated with The Carlyle Group.  As such, SG (as of December 31, 2012) and entities affiliated with The Carlyle Group (for periods after February 6, 2013) may be deemed to share beneficial ownership the securities reported herein.  Furthermore, entities affiliated with each of SG and The Carlyle Group may beneficially own shares of the issuer to which this schedule relates (the “Shares”) and such Shares are not reported herein.  The TCW Business Unit is or was managed separately and operated independently from SG (as of December 31, 2012) and The Carlyle Group (for periods after February 6, 2013), respectively, and information barriers are in place between the TCW Business Unit and The Carlyle Group.  Therefore, in accordance with Rule 13d-4 under the Exchange Act, each of SG and The Carlyle Group disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person and the Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of any Shares which may be owned by SG or The Carlyle Group.

EXHIBIT B

 

Crescent Capital Group L.P. is indirectly controlled by Jean-Marc Chapus and Mark Attanasio.  As a result, for the purposes of the federal securities laws, such individuals may be deemed to be indirect beneficial owners of the securities reported on this Schedule 13G.

 

Due to the operational independence of the portfolio management team responsible for the decision-making with respect to the reported securities, Jean-Marc Chapus and Mark Attanasio each disclaim beneficial ownership of shares reported on this Schedule 13G with respect to Crescent Capital Group L.P.  This Exhibit B shall not be construed as an admission that either Jean-Marc Chapus or Mark Attanasio is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Schedule 13G.
