      <additionalInformation>Please note that this 13F Holdings Report filer is affiliated with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and MetLife Investment Advisors, LLC who are also filing 13F Holdings Reports. Each entity is filing its own 13F Holdings Report because each entity has investment discretion over certain 13(f) securities reported. Logan Circle Partners, L.P. is another affiliate who has investment discretion over certain 13(f) securities, however Logan Circle Partners is not itself required to file Form 13F. All three 13F Holdings Report filers and Logan Circle Partners, L.P. are under common control of their ultimate parent, MetLife, Inc., who has filed a 13F Combination Report including 13(f) securities positions that must be reported and for which Logan Circle Partners, L.P. exercises investment discretion.</additionalInformation>
