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. |
|
CUSIP NO. |

Page 7 of 15 |
|
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. |
|
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 FRI subsidiaries provide investment management services. |

Footnotes to Schedule 13G
_________________________
1 The class of securities covered by this Schedule 13G is ordinary shares, of which 1,086,863 are represented by American Depository Shares. The CUSIP reported is the cusip for the American Depository Shares.
2 One of the investment management contracts that relates to these securities
provides that the applicable FRI affiliate share investment power over the
securities held in the client’s account with another unaffiliated entity. The
issuer's securities held in such account are less than 5% of the outstanding shares
of the class. In addition, FRI does not believe that such contract causes such
client or unaffiliated entity to be part of a group with FRI or any FRI affiliate
within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Act.
