FMR LLC and FIL are separate and independent corporate
entities, and their Boards of Directors are generally composed
of different individuals.
FMR LLC and FIL are of the view that they are not
acting as a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934" Act) and that
they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other the
"beneficial ownership" of securities "beneficially owned" by
the other corporation within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the 1934 Act. Therefore, they are of the
view that the shares held by the other corporation need not be
aggregated for purposes of Section 13(d). However, FMR
LLC is making this filing on a voluntary basis as if all of the
shares are beneficially owned by FMR LLC and FIL on a joint
basis.
