OTHER DISCLOSURES

A price movement of a security which may be temporary will not necessarily trigger a recommendation change. Bernstein will advise as and when

coverage of securities commences and ceases. Bernstein has no policy or standard as to the frequency of any updates or changes to its coverage policies.

Although the definition and application of these methods are based on generally accepted industry practices and models, please note that there is a range

of reasonable variations within these models. The application of models typically depends on forecasts of a range of economic variables, which may

include, but not limited to, interest rates, exchange rates, earnings, cash flows and risk factors that are subject to uncertainty and also may change over

time. Any valuation is dependent upon the subjective opinion of the analysts carrying out this valuation.
