 The IRS
requires that we report the cost basis of certain shares 
 acquired after January 1, 2011. If your shares were
covered by 
 the legislation and you have sold or transferred the shares and 

requested a specific cost basis calculation method, we have 

processed as requested. If you did not specify a cost basis 

calculation method, we have defaulted to the first in, first out 

(FIFO) method. Please visit our website or consult your tax 

advisor if you need additional information about cost basis. 

If you do not keep in contact with us or do not have any 

activity in your account for the time periods specified by state 

law, your property could become subject to state unclaimed 

property laws and transferred to the appropriate state.
