WAM generally does not vote any of the foregoing
shares. WAM, however, has been granted the power to
do so in circumstances it determines to be appropriate
in connection with advising its clients in the ordinary
course of business, by either providing information or
advice to the persons having such power, or by
exercising the power granted to it by its clients.
WAM serves as investment adviser to Acorn Investment
Trust, Series Designated Acorn Fund (the "Trust"), and
various of WAM's limited partners and employees are
also officers and trustees of the Trust. WAM does not
consider that the Trust is controlled by such persons.
Nevertheless, the 1,080,000 shares beneficially
owned by the Trust, with respect to which the Trust
has sole voting power, are included as shares over
which WAM has shared dispositive power, and they are
shares beneficially owned by WAM by reason of its power
to manage the Trust investments. In addition, other WAM
clients may own shares which are not included in the
aggregate number of shares reported herein because WAM
does not have or share voting or investment power over
those shares.
