Neuberger Berman, LLC is deemed to be a beneficial owner for purpose of
Rule 13(d) since it has shared power to make decisions whether to retain
or dispose of, and in some cases the sole power to vote the securities of
many unrelated clients. Neuberger Berman, LLC does not, however, have any
economic interest in the securities of those clients. The clients are the
actual owners of the securities and have the sole right to receive and the
power to direct the receipt of dividends from or proceeds from the sale of
such securities.
With regard to the shares set forth under Item 4.(c)(II), 2,807,849 shares
or 9.3% of the outstanding are beneficially owned by Neuberger Berman
Genesis Fund Portfolio, a series of Equity Managers Trust. Neuberger
Berman, LLC and Neuberger Berman Management Inc. are deemed to be
beneficial owners of these shares for purposes of Rule 13(d) since they
both have shared power to make decisions whether to retain or dispose of
the securities. Neuberger Berman, LLC and Neuberger Berman Management
Inc. serve as sub-adviser and investment manager, respectively, of
Neuberger Berman Genesis Fund Portfolio, which holds such shares in the
ordinary course of its business and not with the purpose nor with the
effect of changing or influencing the control of the issuer.
With regard to the balance of the shares set forth under Item 4.(c)(II),
Neuberger Berman, LLC and Neuberger Berman Management Inc. are deemed to
be the beneficial owners for the purposes of Rule 13(d), since they have
power to make decisions whether to retain or dispose of securities held by
Neuberger Berman's various other Funds. Neuberger Berman, LLC is the sub-
advisor to the aforementioned Funds.
No other Neuberger Berman, LLC advisory client has an interest of more than
5% of the issuer.
It should be further noted that the share calculation under item 4.(c)(IV)
is derived from a total combination of the shares set forth under Item
4.(c)(I and II). The remaining balance of shares, if any, are for individual
client accounts over which Neuberger Berman, LLC has shared power to
dispose.
