The entity named in this Item 4 (the AGI Adviser) is an investment adviser registered under
Section 203 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and a directly wholly-owned subsidiary of AGI US Holdings.
The
securities reported in this Schedule 13G are held by investment advisory clients or discretionary accounts of which an AGI Adviser is the investment adviser. When an investment management contract (including a
sub-advisory agreement) delegates to the AGI Adviser investment discretion or voting power over the securities held in the investment advisory accounts that are subject to that agreement, AGI US Holdings
treats the AGI Adviser as having sole investment discretion or voting authority, as the case may be, for purposes of Schedule 13G filings unless the agreement specifies otherwise. Accordingly, this Schedule 13G reports that the AGI Adviser has sole
investment discretion and voting authority over the securities covered by any such investment management agreement. The AGI Adviser may be deemed to beneficially own the securities held by its clients or accounts within the meaning of rule 13d-3 under the Act. Because AGI US Holdings is the parent holding company of the AGI Adviser, it may be deemed to beneficially own the securities held by the AGI Adviser clients or accounts.
In accordance with SEC Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998), this Schedule 13G reports the
securities beneficially owned, or deemed to be beneficially owned, by certain subsidiaries and affiliates of AGI US Holdings. It does not include securities, if any, beneficially owned by affiliates of AGI US Holdings whose ownership of securities
is disaggregated from that of AGI US Holdings and the AGI Adviser in accordance with that release.
AGI US Holdings and the AGI Adviser
believe that they do not constitute a group within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Act and that they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other the beneficial ownership of the
securities reported in this Schedule 13G held by any of them or by any persons or entities for whom or for which the AGI Adviser provides investment management services. Each of AGI US Holdings and the AGI Adviser also disclaims beneficial ownership
of these securities except to the extent of that filers pecuniary interest therein.
Item 5
|
Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.
|
If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the reporting person
has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following ☐.

Item 6
|
Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person.
|
See Item 4. Each client of an AGI Adviser named in this Schedule 13G has the right to receive or the power to direct the
receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of the securities reported herein. No one client holds more than five percent of such securities.
Item 7
|
Identification and Classification of the Subsidiary Which Acquired the Security Being Reported on By the
Parent Holding Company.
|
See Items 3 and 4.
Item 8
|
Identification and Classification of Members of the Group.

By signing below I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the securities referred to above were acquired and
are held in the ordinary course of business and were not acquired and are not held for the purpose of or with the effect of changing or influencing the control of the issuer of the securities and were not acquired and are not held in connection with
or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect.
