AXA FINANCIAL INCLUDES HOLDINGS FOR ALLIANCE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LP 
Alliance Capital Management LP ('Alliance Capital') is an investment advisor 
registered under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940. Alliance Capital provides 
investment advisory services to corporate employee benefit plans subject to the 
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ('ERISA'), public employee 
retirement systems, investment companies and separate accounts registered under 
the Investment Company Act of 1940, foundations, endowment funds, tax-exempt 
organisations, and other institutional investors and individuals. Alliance 
Capital manages investment assets on behalf of its clients which confers upon 
it, among other things, the right to vote on behalf of its clients. Under the 
federal securities laws, the right to vote or make investment decisions with 
respect to a security (even if such right is constrained by fiduciary duties and 
does not carry with it any pecuniary interest in the securities) is enough to 
confer beneficial ownership on the security on a person. Any shares deemed 
beneficially owned by Alliance Capital were acquired solely for investment 
purposes in the ordinary course and not for the purpose or intent of influencing
control over the issuer.
