Rowe Price (TRP) has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS ). TRP has been independently verified for the 1 year period ended June 30, 017 by KPMG LLP. The verification report is available upon request. Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm wide basis and () the firm's policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. Verification does not ensure the accuracy of any specific composite presentation. TRP is a U.S. investment management firm with various investment advisers registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, and other regulatory bodies in various countries and holds itself out as such to potential clients for GIPS purposes. TRP further defines itself under GIPS as a discretionary investment manager providing services primarily to institutional clients with regard to various mandates, which include U.S., international, and global strategies but excluding the services of the Private Asset Management group. The minimum asset level for equity portfolios to be included in composites is $5 million and prior to January 00 the minimum was $1 million. The minimum asset level for fixed income and asset allocation portfolios to be included in composites is $10 million; prior to October 004 the minimum was $5 million; and prior to January 00 the minimum was $1 million. Valuations are computed and performance reported in U.S. dollars. Gross performance returns are presented before management and all other fees, where applicable, but after trading expenses. Net of fees performance reflects the deduction of the highest applicable management fee that would be charged based on the fee schedule appropriate to you for this mandate, without the benefit of breakpoints. Gross and net performance returns are net of nonreclaimable withholding taxes on dividends, interest income, and capital gains. Effective June 30, 013, portfolio valuation and assets under management are calculated based on the closing price of the security in its respective market. Previously portfolios holding international securities may have been adjusted for after market events. Policies for valuing portfolios, calculating performance, and preparing compliant presentations are available upon request. Dispersion is measured by the standard deviation across asset weighted portfolio returns represented within a composite for the full year. Dispersion is not calculated for the composites in which there are five or fewer portfolios. Some portfolios may trade futures, options, and other potentially high risk derivatives which generally represent less than 10% of a portfolio. Benchmarks are taken from published sources and may have different calculation methodologies, pricing times, and foreign exchange sources from the composite. Composite policy requires the temporary removal of any portfolio incurring a client initiated significant cash inflow or outflow greater than or equal to 15% of portfolio assets. The temporary removal of such an account occurs at the beginning of the measurement period in which the significant cash flow occurs and the account re enters the composite on the last day of the current month after the cash flow. Additional information regarding the treatment of significant cash flows is available upon request. The firm's list of composite descriptions and/or a presentation that adheres to the GIPS standards are available upon request.

6 ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES Portfolio Construction: There is no guarantee that the investment will remain within the anticipated ranges of exposure. Diversification exhibits may not add to 100% due to exclusion or inclusion of cash. Sources for credit quality: Moody s Investors Service; if Moody s does not rate a security, then Standard & Poor s (S&P) is used as a secondary source. When available, T. Rowe Price will use Fitch for securities that are not rated by Moody s or S&P. T. Rowe Price does not evaluate these ratings, but simply assigns them to the appropriate credit quality category as determined by the rating agency. T. Rowe Price uses the rating of the underlying investment vehicle for credit default swaps. Certain numbers in this report may not equal stated totals due to rounding.
