Schedule R – Control Persons - 4.B. Indirect Owners

(1)    Section 4.B. asks for information about your indirect owners; you must first complete Section 4.A., which asks for information about your direct owners.  

(2)    Indirect Owners.  With respect to each owner listed in Section 4.A. (except individual owners), list below:

(a) in the case of an owner that is a corporation, each of its shareholders that beneficially owns, has the right to vote, or has the power to sell or direct the sale of, 25% or more of a class of a voting security of that corporation;

For purposes of this Section, a person beneficially owns any securities: (i) owned by his/her child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, sharing the same residence; or (ii) that he/she has the right to acquire, within 60 days, through the exercise of any option, warrant, or right to purchase the security.
