| SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION | THE RETURNS PREVIOUSLY FILED FOR 2012 THROUGH 2015 HAD ERRONEOUSLY REPORTED ON SCHEDULE A, PART III, SECTION A, LINE 7B AMOUNTS FROM LINES 1-3 THAT EXCEEDED 1% OF LINE 13 FOR EACH YEAR. THIS RESULTED IN LINE 7B BEING OVERSTATED AND AS A RESULT THE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE IN SECTION C TO BE UNDERSTATED. THIS HAS BEEN CORRECTED ON THE 2016 FILING FOR ALL PRIOR YEARS STILL IN THE CURRENT CALCULATION. BECAUSE THE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE REQUIREMENT WAS ALWAYS EXCEEDED AMENDED RETURNS FOR THOSE YEARS HAVE NOT BEEN FILED. |
