Item 4. Ownership
The securities reported herein (the “Securities”) are beneficially owned by one or more open‑ or closed‑end investment
companies or other managed accounts that are investment management clients of investment managers that are direct and
indirect subsidiaries (each, an “Investment Management Subsidiary” and, collectively, the “Investment Management
Subsidiaries”) of Franklin Resources, Inc.(“FRI”), including the Investment Management Subsidiaries listed in Item 7.
Investment management contracts grant to the Investment Management Subsidiaries all investment and/or voting power
over the securities owned by such investment management clients, unless otherwise noted in this Item 4. Therefore, for
purposes of Rule 13d‑3 under the Act, the Investment Management Subsidiaries may be deemed to be the beneficial
owners of the Securities.
Beneficial ownership by investment management subsidiaries and other affiliates of FRI is being reported in conformity with
the guidelines articulated by the SEC staff in Release No. 34‑39538 (January 12, 1998) relating to organizations, such as
FRI, where related entities exercise voting and investment powers over the securities being reported independently from
each other. The voting and investment powers held by Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC (“FMA”), an indirect wholly‑owned
Investment Management Subsidiary, are exercised independently from FRI and from all other Investment Management
Subsidiaries (FRI, its affiliates and the Investment Management Subsidiaries other than FMA are collectively, “FRI
affiliates”). Furthermore, internal policies and procedures of FMA and FRI establish informational barriers that prevent the
flow between FMA and the FRI affiliates of information that relates to the voting and investment powers over the securities
owned by their respective investment management clients. Consequently, FMA and the FRI affiliates report the securities
over which they hold investment and voting power separately from each other for purposes of Section 13 of the Act.
Charles B. Johnson and Rupert H. Johnson, Jr. (the “Principal Shareholders”) each own in excess of 10% of the
outstanding common stock of FRI and are the principal stockholders of FRI. FRI and the Principal Shareholders may be
deemed to be, for purposes of Rule 13d‑3 under the Act, the beneficial owners of securities held by persons and entities for
whom or for which FRI subsidiaries provide investment management services. The number of shares that may be deemed
to be beneficially owned and the percentage of the class of which such shares are a part are reported in Items 9 and 11 of
the cover pages for FRI and each of the Principal Shareholders. FRI, the Principal Shareholders and each of the
Investment Management Subsidiaries disclaim any pecuniary interest in any of the Securities. In addition, the filing of this
Schedule 13G on behalf of the Principal Shareholders, FRI and FRI affiliates, as applicable, should not be construed as an
admission that any of them is, and each disclaims that it is, the beneficial owner, as defined in Rule 13d‑3, of any of the
Securities.
CUSIP NO. 023608102 13G Page 7 of 13
FRI, the Principal Shareholders, and each of the Investment Management Subsidiaries believe that they are not a “group”
within the meaning of Rule 13d‑5 under the Act and that they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other the
beneficial ownership of the Securities held by any of them or by any persons or entities for whom or for which the
Investment Management Subsidiaries provide investment management services.
