Rowe Price International, Inc. ("TRPI") has prepared and presented this report in compliance with Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS ). TRPI has been verified for the 0-year period ended June 30, 200 by KPMG LLP. A copy of the verification report is available upon request. TRPI is a U.S. registered investment management firm and holds itself out as such to potential clients for GIPS purposes. TRPI further defines itself under GIPS as a discretionary investment manager providing services primarily to institutional clients with regard to various mandates, including the non-u.s. and certain global strategies of T. Rowe Price Global Investment Services Limited ( TRPGIS ), an investment manager registered with the FSA and other regulatory bodies. The TRPGIS strategies were included in the TRPI firm definition effective January, 2009 as a result of an internal reorganization. Management believes this change represents the most appropriate Firm definition. The firm has not included any non-fee paying portfolios in its composites. Non-fee paying portfolios are included in the firm s total assets. The minimum asset level for equity portfolios to be included in composites is $5 million. Prior to January 2002, the minimum asset level for composite inclusion was $ million. The minimum asset level for fixed income and asset allocation portfolios to be included in composites is $0 million. Prior to October 2004, the minimum asset level for composite inclusion was $5 million, and prior to January 2002, the minimum asset level for composite inclusion was $ 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 ("Model Net Fee") that would be charged based on the fee schedule appropriate to you for this mandate, without the benefit of breakpoints. Please be advised that the composite may include other investment products that are subject to management fees that are inapplicable to you but are in excess of the Model Net Fee. Therefore, the actual performance of all the portfolios in the composite on a net fee basis will be different, and may be lower, than the Model Net Fee performance. However, such Model Net Fee performance is intended to provide the most appropriate example of the impact management fees would have by applying management fees relevant to you to the gross performance of the composite. Gross and net performance returns are presented net of nonreclaimable withholding taxes. 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. Supplemental performance history may be presented. Additional information regarding the firm's policies and procedures for calculating and reporting performance results is available upon request. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Withholding taxes, whether or not refundable, are accrued for equity securities at the time of dividend accrual and, where applicable, are accrued daily for fixed income securities. Where capital gains taxes apply, aggregate security value is reduced to net realizable value, considering holding periods, potential loss carry-forwards, and other relevant factors that may vary from country to country. Some accounts may trade futures and options, potentially high-risk derivatives. Futures and options contracts may be bought or sold for any number of reasons, including managing exposure to changes in securities prices and foreign currencies, as an efficient means of adjusting overall exposure to certain markets, in an effort to enhance income, as a cash management tool, or to protect the value of portfolio securities. Purchases and sales of futures and options are only affected in accordance with individual client portfolio guidelines and generally represent less than 0% 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 20% 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. These results are intended to be used in the institutional market only. Consultants are advised to use this data in accordance with SEC guidelines. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal will vary.
