	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.
