and on behalf of FIL Limited and its direct and indirect subsidiaries*
* This power of attorney is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 24 to
the Schedule 13G filed by FIL Limited on January 31, 2023, accession number:
0000318989-23-000005.
Exhibit A
Pursuant to the instructions in Item 7 of Schedule 13G, the following table
lists the identity and Item 3 classification, if applicable, of each relevant
entity that beneficially owns shares of the security class being reported on
this Schedule 13G.
Entity ITEM 3 Classification
FIL Investments International FI
Pandanus Partners, L.P. ("Pandanus") owns shares of FIL Limited ("FIL") voting
stock. While the percentage of total voting power represented by these shares
of FIL voting stock may fluctuate as a result of changes in the total number
of shares of FIL voting stock outstanding from time to time, it normally
represents more than 25% and less than 48.5% of the total votes which may be
cast by all holders of FIL voting stock. Pandanus Associates, Inc. ("PAI")
acts as general partner of Pandanus. Pandanus is owned by trusts for the
benefit of members of the Johnson family, including FIL's Chairman Abigail P.
Johnson, but disclaims that any such member is a beneficial owner of the
securities reported on this Schedule 13G.
This filing reflects the securities beneficially owned, or that may be deemed
to be beneficially owned, by FIL, certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates,
and other companies (collectively, the "FIL Reporters"). This filing does not
reflect securities, if any, beneficially owned by certain other companies
whose beneficial ownership of securities is disaggregated from that of the FIL
Reporters in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Release No.
34-39538 (January 12, 1998).
RULE 13d-1(k)(1) AGREEMENT
The undersigned persons, on January 9, 2024, agree and consent to the joint
filing on their behalf of this Schedule 13G in connection with their
