Tradewinds was formed as a legal entity in the fourth quarter of 2005 and commenced operation in 2006. Since that time, the two firms worked to achieve operational separation of their investment management and proxy voting functions, which separation was completed as of June 30, 2007. Accordingly, this filing is being made to report NWQ's beneficial ownership of the Issuer's securities independently from that of Tradewinds. Both NWQ and Tradewinds are wholly owned subsidiaries of Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen"), a parent company with several subsidiaries engaged in the investment management business. Nuveen has adopted internal operating policies to ensure that investment management and voting decisions are made independently by investment personnel at its investment management subsidiaries. Accordingly, hereafter NWQ and Tradewinds (like Nuveen's other investment management subsidiaries) anticipate independently reporting beneficial ownership of securities pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13D/G thereunder.
