ITEM 4: OWNERSHIP
The securities reported on herein are beneficially owned by one or
more open-end investment companies or other managed accounts which are advised
or sub-advised by Waddell & Reed Ivy Investment Company ("WRIICO"), an
investment advisory subsidiary of Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. ("WDR") or
Waddell & Reed Investment Management Company ("WRIMCO"), an investment advisory
subsidiary of Waddell & Reed, Inc. ("WRI"). WRI is a broker-dealer and
underwriting subsidiary of Waddell & Reed Financial Services, Inc., a parent
holding company ("WRFSI"). In turn, WRFSI is a subsidiary of WDR, a publicly
traded company. The investment advisory contracts grant WRIICO and WRIMCO all
investment and/or voting power over securities owned by such advisory clients.
The investment sub-advisory contracts grant WRIICO and WRIMCO investment power
over securities owned by such sub-advisory clients and, in most cases, voting
power. Any investment restriction of a sub-advisory contract does not restrict
investment discretion or power in a material manner. Therefore, WRIICO and/or
WRIMCO may be deemed the beneficial owner of the securities covered by this
statement under Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934
Act").
WRIICO, WRIMCO, WRI, WRFSI and WDR are of the view that they are
not acting as a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) under the 1934 Act.
Indirect "beneficial ownership" is attributed to the respective parent companies
solely because of the parent companies' control relationship to WRIMCO.
(a) Amount beneficially owned: 2,543,939
(b) Percent of class: 11.8%
(c) Number of shares as to which the person has:
(i) Sole voting power to vote or to direct the vote:
WDR: 2,543,939(indirect)
WRFSI: 1,713,989 (indirect)
WRI: 1,713,989 (indirect)
WRIMCO: 1,713,989 (direct)
WRIICO: 829,950 (direct)
(ii) Shared power to vote or to direct the vote: 0
(iii) Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of:
WDR: 2,543,939(indirect)
WRFSI: 1,713,989 (indirect)
WRI: 1,713,989 (indirect)
WRIMCO: 1,713,989 (direct)
WRIICO: 829,950 (direct)
(iv) Shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 0
ITEM 5: OWNERSHIP OF FIVE PERCENT OR LESS OF A CLASS:
If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the
date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more
than 5 percent of the class of securities, check the following: [ ]
ITEM 6: OWNERSHIP OF MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER PERSON:
The clients of WRIICO and WRIMCO, including investment companies
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and other managed accounts,
have the right to receive dividends from as well as the proceeds from the sale
of such securities.
