CLIM is controlled by City of London Investment Group plc (“CLIG”), which is listed on the London Stock Exchange. However, in accordance with SEC Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998), effective informational barriers have been established between CLIM and CLIG such that voting and investment power over the subject securities is exercised by CLIM independently of CLIG, and, accordingly, attribution of beneficial ownership is not required between CLIM and CLIG.

BMI, CF, CG, CHINA, CI, EUREKA, EWF, FREE, GBL, PLUS, and UNIQUE are collectively referred to herein as the “City of London Funds.”

The Shares to which this Schedule 13G relates are owned directly by the City of London Funds and the Segregated Accounts.
