 12. Additional information(xvi) : 
  Regarding section 9 above: 
 
  The notified holdings have to be indicated as either 
  "direct holdings" or "indirect holdings". 
  Allianz Global Investors GmbH is a German investment 
  management company. Its core business is the establishment 
  and portfolio management of investment funds domiciled 
  in Germany and Luxembourg, but also e.g. in Italy and 
  France. Allianz Global Investors GmbH is entitled to 
  execute the voting rights by proxy (since the foundation 
  of the funds). Additionally, Allianz Global Investors 
  GmbH is mandated in several cases to manage individual 
  asset portfolios for clients on a contractual basis; 
  under such contracts Allianz Global Investors GmbH is 
  entitled to execute the voting rights of shares held 
  in such asset portfolios. 
 
  For the purpose of section 9 of this TR-1 Form we have 
  considered holdings in investment funds which do not 
  have a legal personality, but are mere pools of assets, 
  for which Allianz Global Investors GmbH acts in its 
  own name, but for the account of the fund, as direct 
  holdings. The units of such investment funds are jointly 
  owned by their investors, but the funds are legally 
  represented by Allianz Global Investors GmbH as the 
  funds' investment manager. 
 
  Holdings in funds managed by Allianz Global Investors 
  GmbH which are legal persons of their own (e.g. Luxembourgish 
  SICAV) as well as holdings in above-mentioned portfolio 
  mandates (including fund mandates, under which Allianz 
  Global Investors GmbH is the portfolio manager of funds 
  established by other investment companies) we considered 
  as indirect holdings with respect to the fact that the 
  proxy was granted on a contractual basis.
