Disclosures

MID CAP GROWTH DISCLOSURESComposite Disclosure:TimesSquare Capital Management, LLC (“TimesSquare”) is a registered investment adviser that is owned by the former equity management team of TimesSquare Capital Management, Inc. (“TimesSquare Inc.”) and Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. TimesSquare was formed to manage TimesSquare Inc.’s growth equity investment advisory business which was sold to TimesSquare in a transaction that closed on November 19, 2004. The members of TimesSquare’s mid cap growth team joined TimesSquare Inc. on September 7, 2000 after working together at Fiduciary Trust Company International (“FTCI”). While employed at FTCI, the team, led by Grant Babyak and Tony Rosenthal, had responsibility for the accounts underlying that firm's mid cap growth composite since its inception in 1997 through September 6, 2000. The performance information presented to the recipient of this presentation as indicated on the cover is that of the FTCI mid cap growth composite from June 30, 1997 until September 30, 2000 as published in the PSN database of manager returns. TimesSquare has not independently verified the accuracy of the performance information published in the PSN database, all returns in which are submitted by the participating investment management firms. From October 1, 2000 to November 18, 2004, the performance is that of the TimesSquare Inc. mid cap composite. From November 19, 2004, the performance is that of the TimesSquare mid cap composite which consists of all mid cap accounts managed by the team at TimesSquare and TimesSquare Inc. There has been no change in the investment management responsibility or strategy from the prior two firms.
The performance record prior to October 1, 2000 may reflect a number of factors, including the contributions of members of the TimesSquare team as well as those of other persons who are not part of the TimesSquare team. Variations in performance, investments, strategies, allocation percentages among other things, can be attributed to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, cash flows, timing of purchases and sales of portfolio securities, and investment restrictions imposed by account holders. There can be no assurance that the future performance of an individual account will be the same as the performance of any other account, including those represented in the historical record we present.
The performance figures shown are calculated in U.S. dollars on a size-weighted basis and reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings, and the deduction of brokerage commissions and other transaction costs. Performance is provided on a gross basis (before the deduction of management fees) as well as net of the highest management fee of 0.80% charged by TimesSquare to separately managed institutional accounts in this composite. Investment advisory fees generally charged by TimesSquare are described in Part II of its Form ADV. To illustrate performance net of fees, assume $20,000,000 is placed under management for ten years and sustains 10% annual gross return for each year during this period. If an advisory fee of 0.80% of average assets under management is charged per year, for each year of the ten-year period, the resulting annual net return would be 9.2%. The ending dollar value of the account would be $48,223,239, as compared to $51,874,849 if the advisory fees had not been deducted.
The “linked” performance results included in this presentation are exclusively for the use of the recipient of this presentation as indicated on the cover, and are suitable for use exclusively in “one on one” institutional settings. The performance results of the FTCI composite and the TimesSquare Inc. composite, for the respective time periods as represented in the linked performance results, are presented on the following pages.
In August 2007, TimesSquare modified its purchase capitalization range to match the changes in the midcap market as represented by the Russell Midcap® Growth Index. The range changed from $1.5 bil to $10 bil at time of purchase to the current $2.5 bil to $15 bil.
