(1) The Auction-Rate Preferred Shares of the Issuer ("Shares") reported in Table I (CUSIP Nos: 72201A202, 72201A301, 72201A400, 72201A509, 72201A608) represent 1,080 Shares beneficially owned by WFC Holdings, LLC ("WFC Holdings") and an additional 1 Share beneficially owned by EVEREN Capital Corporation ("EVEREN"). WFC Holdings and EVEREN are wholly owned subsidiaries of Wells Fargo & Company ("Wells Fargo"). For the purposes of this filing, all series of Shares identified in Item 1 of Table I are treated herein as one class of securities. The shareholdings identified in Table I and in this footnote reflect the number of Shares held by the reporting persons as of the date of this Form 3. This Form 3 was not timely filed to reflect the reporting persons' aggregate beneficial ownership of more than 10% of the Shares, which first occurred as of the date stated in Item 2 above, and subsequent Forms 4 were also not timely filed to reflect changes in the reporting persons' beneficial ownership.
(2) This statement is jointly filed by Wells Fargo and WFC Holdings. Wells Fargo holds an indirect interest in the Shares listed in Table I by virtue of its indirect ownership of its subsidiary, EVEREN, and direct ownership of its subsidiary, WFC Holdings.
(3) Each reporting person declares that neither the filing of this statement nor anything herein shall be construed as an admission that such person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any other purpose, (i) acting (or has agreed or is agreeing to act together with any other person) as a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate, or other group for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of securities of the Issuer or otherwise with respect to the Issuer or any securities of the Issuer or (ii) a member of any group with respect to the Issuer or any securities of the Issuer.
