Item 4. Ownership

The securities reported herein are beneficially owned by one or more open‑end investment

companies or other managed accounts that are investment management clients of ClearBridge

Investments, LLC ("CIL"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc.

("FRI"). When an investment management contract (including a sub‑advisory agreement)

delegates to CIL investment discretion or voting power over the securities held in the

investment advisory accounts that are subject to that agreement, FRI treats CIL as having

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

specifies otherwise. Accordingly, CIL 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, CIL may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities

reported in this Schedule 13G.

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 CIL are

exercised independently from FRI (CIL’s parent holding company) and from all other

investment management subsidiaries of FRI (FRI, its affiliates and investment management

subsidiaries other than CIL are, collectively, “FRI affiliates”). Furthermore, internal

policies and procedures of CIL and FRI affiliates establish informational barriers that

prevent the flow between CIL 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, CIL 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.

CUSIP NO. 55345K103 13G Page 5 of 7

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. However, because CIL exercises voting and investment powers on behalf of its

investment management clients independently of FRI affiliates, beneficial ownership of the

securities reported by CIL is not attributed to the Principal Shareholders. CIL

disclaims any pecuniary interest in any of the securities reported in this Schedule 13G.

In addition, the filing of this Schedule 13G on behalf of CIL should not be construed as

an admission that it is, and it disclaims that it is, the beneficial owner, as defined

in Rule 13d‑3, of any of such securities.

Furthermore, CIL believes that it is not a "group" with FRI affiliates, the Principal

Shareholders, or their respective affiliates within the meaning of Rule 13d‑5 under the

Act and that none of them is otherwise required to attribute to any other the

beneficial ownership of the securities held by such person or by any persons or

entities for whom or for which CIL or the FRI affiliates provide investment management

services.

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

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

The clients of ClearBridge Investments, LLC, 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.
