Insurance and Annuity Association (&quot;TIAA&quot;), as parent of two registered
investment advisers, may be deemed to have indirect voting or investment
discretion over shares of Issuer's common stock that are beneficially owned by
three registered investment companies, the Institutional Funds, the Life Funds
and College Retirement Equities Fund (&quot;CREF&quot;), as well as the TCAM Funds, whose
investment advisers are Teachers Advisors, Inc. (in the case of Institutional
Funds, Life Funds and TCAM Funds) and TIAA-CREF Investment Management, LLC (in
the case of CREF), both of which are wholly owned subsidiaries of TIAA. The
filing of this statement should not be construed as an admission that TIAA is,
for the purpose of Sections 13 or 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
beneficial owner of the shares held by Life Funds, Institutional Funds, TCAM
Funds, and CREF.</remarks>
