SCHEDULE 13G - TO BE INCLUDED IN
STATEMENTS
FILED PURSUANT TO RULE 13d-1(b) or 13d-2(b)
Members of the family of Edward C. Johnson 3d,
Chairman of FMR LLC, are the predominant owners, directly
or through trusts, of Series B voting common shares of FMR
LLC, representing 49% of the voting power of FMR LLC.
The Johnson family group and all other Series B shareholders
have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under
which all Series B voting common shares will be voted in
accordance with the majority vote of Series B voting common
shares. Accordingly, through their ownership of voting
common shares and the execution of the shareholders' voting
agreement, members of the Johnson family may be deemed,
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, to form a
controlling group with respect to FMR LLC.
FIL Limited ("FIL"), Pembroke Hall, 42 Crow Lane,
Hamilton, Bermuda, and various foreign-based subsidiaries
provide investment advisory and management services to a
number of non-U.S. investment companies and certain
institutional investors. FIL, which is a qualified institution
under section 240.13d-1(b)(1)(ii), is the beneficial owner of
3,300 shares or 0.018% of the Common Stock outstanding of
the Company.
Partnerships controlled predominantly by members of
the family of Edward C. Johnson 3d, Chairman of FMR LLC
and FIL, or trusts for their benefit, own shares of FIL voting
stock with the right to cast approximately 47% of the total
votes which may be cast by all holders of FIL voting stock.
FMR LLC and FIL are separate and independent corporate
entities, and their Boards of Directors are generally composed
of different individuals.
FMR LLC and FIL are of the view that they are not
acting as a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934" Act) and that
they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other the
"beneficial ownership" of securities "beneficially owned" by
the other corporation within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the 1934 Act. Therefore, they are of the
view that the shares held by the other corporation need not be
aggregated for purposes of Section 13(d). However, FMR
LLC is making this filing on a voluntary basis as if all of the
shares are beneficially owned by FMR LLC and FIL on a joint
basis.
