Item 4. Ownership

The securities reported herein (the “Securities”) are beneficially owned by one or more open‑ or closed‑end investment

companies or other managed accounts that are investment management clients of investment managers that are direct and

indirect subsidiaries (each, an “Investment Management Subsidiary” and, collectively, the “Investment Management

Subsidiaries”) of Franklin Resources, Inc.(“FRI”), including the Investment Management Subsidiaries listed in Item 7.

Investment management contracts grant to the Investment Management Subsidiaries all investment and/or voting power

over the securities owned by such investment management clients, unless otherwise noted in this Item 4. Therefore, for

purposes of Rule 13d‑3 under the Act, the Investment Management Subsidiaries may be deemed to be the beneficial

owners 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 Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC (“FMA”), an indirect wholly‑owned

Investment Management Subsidiary, are exercised independently from FRI and from all other Investment Management

Subsidiaries (FRI, its affiliates and the 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. FRI and the Principal Shareholders may be

deemed to be, for purposes of Rule 13d‑3 under the Act, the beneficial owners of securities held by persons and entities for

whom or for which FRI subsidiaries provide investment management services. The number of shares that may be deemed

to be beneficially owned and the percentage of the class of which such shares are a part are reported in Items 9 and 11 of

the cover pages for FRI and each of the Principal Shareholders. FRI, the Principal Shareholders and each of the

Investment Management Subsidiaries disclaim any pecuniary interest in any of the Securities. In addition, the filing of this

Schedule 13G on behalf of the Principal Shareholders, FRI and FRI affiliates, as applicable, should not be construed as an

admission that any of them is, and each disclaims that it is, the beneficial owner, as defined in Rule 13d‑3, of any of the

Securities.

CUSIP NO. 13123X102 13G Page 8 of 14

FRI, the Principal Shareholders, and each of the Investment Management Subsidiaries believe that they are not a “group”

within the meaning of Rule 13d‑5 under the Act and that they are not 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 the

Investment Management Subsidiaries provide investment management services.

(a)	Amount beneficially owned:

5,436,818

(b)	Percent of class:

	18.8%

(c)	Number of shares as to which the person has:

(i)	Sole power to vote or to direct the vote

Item 5. Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class

If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the reporting person has

ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the

following [ ].

Item 6. Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person

The clients of the Investment Management Subsidiaries, including investment companies registered under

the Investment Company Act of 1940 and other managed accounts, have the right to receive or power to

direct the receipt of dividends from, and the proceeds from the sale of, the Securities.

Franklin Income Fund, a series of Franklin Custodian Funds, an investment company registered under

the Investment company Act of 1940, has an interest in 4,150,000 shares, or 14.3%, of the class of

securities reported herein.
