      <additionalInformation>MetLife, Inc. is the parent holding company of certain institutional
investment managers. For purposes of the reporting requirements
under Section 13(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
Act), and the rules promulgated thereunder, MetLife, Inc. itself does
not exercise, and therefore disclaims, investment discretion with
respect to any Section 13(f) securities positions over which its
investment operating subsidiaries exercise such discretion. To the
extent, however, that MetLife Inc.'s ownership interest in such
subsidiaries may nevertheless give rise to a Form 13F obligation on behalf of MetLife, Inc., the information required by Form 13F is
reported herein on behalf of all such subsidiaries.</additionalInformation>
