Item 4. Ownership
The securities reported herein (the “Securities”) are beneficially owned by one or more open‑end investment companies
or other managed accounts which, pursuant to investment management contracts, are managed by Franklin Mutual
Advisers, LLC ("FMA"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc. ("FRI"). Such investment
management contracts grant to FMA all investment and voting power over the securities owned by such investment
management clients. Therefore, FMA may be deemed to be, for purposes of Rule 13d‑3 under the Act, the beneficial
owner of the Securities.
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 FMA are exercised independently from FRI
(FMA’s parent holding company) and from all other investment management subsidiaries of FRI (FRI, its affiliates and
investment management subsidiaries other than FMA are, collectively, “FRI affiliates”). Furthermore, internal policies
and procedures of FMA and FRI establish informational barriers that prevent the flow between FMA 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, FMA 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.
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 FMA exercises
voting and investment powers on behalf of its investment management clients independently of FRI, the Principal
Shareholders, and their respective affiliates, beneficial ownership of the securities being reported by FMA is being
attributed only to FMA. FMA disclaims any pecuniary interest in any of the Securities. In addition, the filing of this
Schedule 13G on behalf of FMA 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 the Securities.
CUSIP NO. 368682100 13G Page 5 of 6
Furthermore, FMA believes that it is not a "group" with FRI, the Principal Shareholders, or their respective
affiliates within the meaning of Rule 13d‑5 under the Act and that none of them are 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 FMA or the FRI affiliates provide investment management services.
