IMPORTANT U.S. TAX INFORMATION

This is a summary only of certain U.S. tax considerations. Shareholders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences with respect to their particular circumstances.

In order to avoid backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax on payments pursuant to the Offer, a U.S. shareholder tendering Shares must, unless an exemption applies, provide Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions (the “Depositary”) with such shareholder’s correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”), certify under penalties of perjury that such TIN is correct (or that such shareholder is waiting for a TIN to be issued), and provide certain other certifications by completing the IRS Form W-9 included in this Letter of Transmittal. If a shareholder does not provide his, her or its correct TIN or fails to provide the required certifications, the IRS may impose certain penalties on such shareholder and payment to such shareholder pursuant to the Offer may be subject to backup withholding at a rate currently equal to 28%. All U.S. shareholders tendering Shares pursuant to the Offer should complete and sign the IRS Form W-9 to provide the information and certification necessary to avoid backup withholding (unless an applicable exemption exists and is proved in a manner satisfactory to the Depositary). To the extent that a U.S. shareholder designates another U.S. person to receive payment, such other person may be required to provide a properly completed IRS Form W-9.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of the backup withholding may be credited against the U.S. federal income tax liability of the person subject to the backup withholding. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of tax, a refund can be obtained by the shareholder by timely providing the required information to the IRS.

If the shareholder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for a TIN or intends to apply for a TIN in the near future, then the shareholder should write “APPLIED FOR” in the space for the TIN on the IRS Form W-9 and should sign and date the IRS Form W-9. If the Depositary has not been provided with a properly certified TIN by the time of payment, backup withholding will apply. If the Shares are held in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the instructions to the IRS Form W-9 (which may be obtained from the IRS website (www.irs.gov)) for additional guidance on which name and TIN to report.

Certain shareholders (including, among others, corporations, individual retirement accounts and certain foreign individuals and entities) are not subject to backup withholding but may be required to provide evidence of their exemption from backup withholding. Exempt U.S. shareholders should check the “Exempt payee” box on the IRS Form W-9. See the instructions to the IRS Form W-9 (which may be obtained from the IRS website (www.irs.gov)) for further information.

Non-U.S. shareholders, such as non-resident alien individuals and foreign entities, including a disregarded U.S. domestic entity that has a foreign owner, should not complete an IRS Form W-9. Instead, to establish an applicable withholding exemption, a non-U.S. shareholder (or a shareholder’s non-U.S. designee, if any) may be required to properly complete and submit an IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY (with any required attachments), W-8ECI, or W-8EXP, as applicable, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to such exempt status (which may be obtained on the IRS website (www.irs.gov)).

Failure to complete and return IRS Form W-9 or an appropriate IRS Form W-8 may result in backup withholding on any payments made to you pursuant to the Offer.

Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine whether they are exempt from these backup withholding and reporting requirements.
