o Group, in accordance with §240.13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(J).

 

 

Item 4.

Ownership

 

 

The securities reported herein (the “Securities”) are beneficially owned by one or more open-end

 

investment companies or other managed accounts which, pursuant to investment management contracts, are

 

managed by Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC ("FMA"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Franklin

 

Resources, Inc. ("FRI"). Such investment management contracts grant to FMA all investment and voting

 

power over the securities owned by such investment management clients. Therefore, FMA may be deemed to

 

be, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Act, the beneficial owner 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 FMA are exercised independently from FRI (FMA’s parent holding company) and from all

 

other investment management subsidiaries of FRI (FRI, its affiliates and 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.

 

 

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. However, because FMA

 

exercises voting and investment powers on behalf of its investment management clients independently of

 

FRI, the Principal Shareholders, and their respective affiliates, beneficial ownership of the securities

 

being reported by FMA is being attributed only to FMA. FMA disclaims any pecuniary interest in any of

 

the Securities. In addition, the filing of this Schedule 13G on behalf of FMA should not be construed

 

as an admission that it is, and it disclaims that it is, the beneficial owner, as defined in Rule 13d-3,

 

of any of the Securities.

 

 


 

 

CUSIP NO.

88033G100

Furthermore, FMA believes that it is not a "group" with FRI, the Principal Shareholders, or their

 

respective affiliates within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Act and that none of them are 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.

power to direct the receipt of dividends from, as well as the proceeds from the sale of, such
