Neither First Trust Portfolios L.P., First Trust Advisors L.P. nor The Charger Corporation have the power to vote the 6,821,606 shares of the issuer contained in the unit investment trusts sponsored by First Trust Portfolios L.P. These shares are voted by the trustee of such unit investment trusts so as to insure that the shares are voted as closely as possible in the same manner and in the same general proportion as are the shares held by owners other than such unit investment trusts. In addition to the above, First Trust Advisors L.P. also serves as investment advisor to other registered investment companies, pooled investment vehicles and certain separately managed accounts which may also hold shares of the issuer.
