Other than BNYM in respect of 234,069,432 securities (of which BNYM's power to only dispose of 234,069,432 securities is limited – see Note 1), and Pershing LLC in respect of 17 securities, none of the BNY Group entities are entitled to be registered as holder of the securities and their power to vote or dispose of the securities is qualified accordingly.
