    <remarks>The Issuer issued 63,000 additional shares, which resulted in a crease of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of
America's (&quot;TIAA&quot;) and its affiliated entities' ownership level from 11.41% to 11.40%. TIAA presently holds 1,958,000 shares
of Issuer's common stock for the benefit of TIAA Real Estate Account, a separate account of TIAA. In addition, TIAA, as the
parent of two registered investment advisers, may be deemed to have indirect voting or investment discretion over 4,553,500
shares of Issuer's common stock that are beneficially owned by three registered investment companies--College Retirement
Equities Fund (&quot;CREF&quot;), TIAA-CREF Institutional Mutual Funds (&quot;Institutional Funds&quot;), and TIAA-CREF Life Funds (&quot;Life
Funds&quot;), as well as the TIAA-CREF Asset Management Commingled Funds Trust I (&quot;TCAM Funds&quot;)--whose investment advisors are
TIAA-CREF Investment Management, LLC (in the case of CREF) and Teachers Advisors, Inc. (in the case of Institutional Funds,
Life Funds and TCAM Funds), both of which are wholly owned subsidiaries of TIAA. The filing of this statement should not be
construed as an admission that TIAA is, for the purpose of Sections 13 or 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
beneficial owner of the shares held by Life Funds, Institutional Funds, TCAM Funds, and CREF.</remarks>
