Additional information:

Regarding section 8 above:

The notified holdings have to be indicated as either "direct holdings" or "indirect holdings".

Allianz Global Investors GmbH is a German investment management company. Its core business is the establishment and portfolio management of investment funds domiciled in Germany and Luxembourg, but also e.g. in Italy and France. Allianz Global Investors GmbH is entitled to execute the voting rights by proxy (since the foundation of the funds). Additionally, Allianz Global Investors GmbH is mandated in several cases to manage individual asset portfolios for clients on a contractual basis; under such contracts Allianz Global Investors GmbH is entitled to execute the voting rights of shares held in such asset portfolios.

For the purpose of section 8 of this TR-1 Form we have considered holdings in investment funds which do not have a legal personality, but are mere pools of assets, for which Allianz Global Investors GmbH acts in its own name, but for the account of the fund, as direct holdings.  The units of such investment funds are jointly owned by their investors, but the funds are legally represented by Allianz Global Investors GmbH as the funds' investment manager.

Holdings in funds managed by Allianz Global Investors GmbH which are legal persons of their own (e.g. Luxembourgish SICAV) as well as holdings in above-mentioned portfolio mandates (including fund mandates, under which Allianz Global Investors GmbH is the portfolio manager of funds established by other investment companies) we considered as indirect holdings with respect to the fact that the proxy was granted on a contractual basis.
