security position over which its operating subsidiaries in fact exercise
investment discretion. To the extent, however, the Wilmington Trust
Corporation's ownership interest in such operating units may nevertheless give
rise to a Form 13F filing obligation on behalf of Wilmington Trust Corporation,
the information required by Form 13F is reported for Wilmington Trust
Corporation by the operating subsidiaries reported below.
