manages assets subject to reporting on Schedule 13G through two
investment divisions, Capital Research Global Investors (CRGI) and
Capital World Investors (CWI). CRGI and CWI make independent
investment and proxy voting decisions, and therefore have begun
filing separate ownership reports on Schedule 13G reflecting December
31, 2007 holdings in lieu of CRMC filing. As CRMC is no longer
subject to a reporting requirement, it is filing reports indicating
0% ownership to close out its holdings and will cease making future
filings as an entity. Note that CRGI and/or CWI may not have made
filings for certain securities held as of December 31, 2007 because
one or both divisions did not have a reporting obligation with
respect to such securities.
