Item 4. Ownership

The securities reported herein 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 this Item 4. When an investment management contract (including a sub advisory

agreement) delegates to an Investment Management Subsidiary investment discretion or

voting power over the securities held in the investment advisory accounts that are

subject to that agreement, FRI treats the Investment Management Subsidiary as having sole

investment discretion or voting authority, as the case may be, unless the agreement

specifies otherwise. Accordingly, each Investment Management Subsidiary reports on

Schedule 13G that it has sole investment discretion and voting authority over the

securities covered by any such investment management agreement, unless otherwise noted in

this Item 4. As a result, for purposes of Rule 13d‑3 under the Act, the Investment

Management Subsidiaries listed in this Item 4 may be deemed to be the beneficial owners

of the securities reported in this Schedule 13G.

Beneficial ownership by Investment Management Subsidiaries and other FRI affiliates is

being reported in conformity with the guidelines articulated by the SEC staff in Release

No. 34‑39538 (January 12, 1998) (the “1998 Release”) 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

each of FRI’s affiliates whose ownership of securities is disaggregated from that of FRI

in accordance with the 1998 Release (“FRI Disaggregated Affiliates”) are exercised

independently from FRI and from all other Investment Management Subsidiaries (FRI, its

CUSIP NO. 761330109 13G Page 8 of 14

affiliates and the Investment Management Subsidiaries other than FRI Disaggregated

Affiliates are collectively, “FRI Aggregated Affiliates”). Furthermore, internal policies

and procedures of, on the one hand, FRI Disaggregated Affiliates, and, on the other hand,

FRI establish informational barriers that prevent the flow among, on the one hand, FRI

Disaggregated Affiliates (including preventing the flow between such entities), and, on

the other hand, the FRI Aggregated Affiliates of information that relates to the voting

and investment powers over the securities owned by their respective investment management

clients. Consequently, FRI Disaggregated Affiliates report the securities over which they

hold investment and voting power separately from the FRI Aggregated Affiliates 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 such

securities. In addition, the filing of this Schedule 13G on behalf of the Principal

Shareholders, FRI and the FRI Aggregated Affiliates, as applicable, should not be

construed as an admission that any of them is, and each of them disclaims that it is, the

beneficial owner, as defined in Rule 13d‑3, of any of the securities reported in this

Schedule 13G.

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.

the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five

percent of the class of securities, check the following [ ].

Item 6. Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person

The clients of the Investment Management Subsidiaries, including investment

companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and other managed

accounts, have the right to receive or power to direct the receipt of dividends

from, and the proceeds from the sale of, the securities reported herein.

By signing below I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the securities

referred to above were acquired and are held in the ordinary course of business and

were not acquired and are not held for the purpose of or with the effect of changing or

influencing the control of the issuer of the securities and were not acquired and are

not held in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose

or effect, other than activities solely in connection with a nomination under §

240.14a‑11.

This report shall not be construed as an admission by the persons filing the report

that they are the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this report.
