Item 4.  Ownership

The securities reported herein are beneficially owned by one or more open end investment companies or other managed accounts that are investment management clients of ClearBridge Investments Limited ("CBL"), ClearBridge RARE Infrastructure International Pty Ltd (“RII”), ClearBridge RARE Infrastructure (North America) Pty Ltd (“CRINA”) and ClearBridge Investments, LLC (“CIL”), each an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc. ("FRI"). When an investment management contract (including a sub advisory agreement) delegates to CBL, CRII, CRINA, or CIL investment discretion or voting power over the securities held in the investment advisory accounts that are subject to that agreement, FRI treats CBL, CRII, CRINA, or CIL as applicable, as having sole investment discretion or voting authority, as the case may be, unless the agreement specifies otherwise. Accordingly, each of CBL, CRII, CRINA and CIL reports on Schedule 13G that it has sole investment discretion and voting authority over the securities covered by any such investment management agreement, unless otherwise noted in this Item 4. As a result, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Act, each of CBL, CRII, CRINA, and CIL may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities reported in this Schedule 13G.

 

Beneficial ownership by investment management subsidiaries and other affiliates of FRI is being reported in conformity with the guidelines articulated by the SEC staff in Release No. 34 39538 (January 12, 1998) relating to organizations, such as FRI, where related entities exercise voting and investment powers over the securities being reported independently from each other. The voting and investment powers held by CBL, CRII, CRINA, and CIL are exercised independently from FRI (the ultimate parent holding company of each of CBL, CRII, CRINA, and CIL) and from all other investment management subsidiaries of FRI (FRI, its affiliates and investment management subsidiaries other than CBL, CRII, CRINA, and CIL are, collectively, “FRI affiliates”). Furthermore, internal policies and procedures of each of CBL, CRII, CRINA and CIL, on the one hand, and FRI affiliates, on the other hand, establish informational barriers that prevent the flow between CBL, CRII, CRINA and CIL, on the one hand, and the FRI affiliates, on the other hand, of information that relates to the voting and investment powers over the securities owned by their respective investment management clients. Consequently, each of CBL, CRII, CRINA, and CIL, on the one hand, and the FRI affiliates, on the other hand, report

 

 


 
 

 

CUSIP NO.  18539C204                            13G                            Page 8 of 12

 

the securities over which they hold investment and voting power separately from each other for purposes of Section 13 of the Act.

 

Charles B. Johnson and Rupert H. Johnson, Jr. (the "Principal Shareholders") each own in excess of 10% of the outstanding common stock of FRI and are the principal stockholders of FRI. However, because each of CBL, CRII, CRINA and CIL exercises voting and investment powers on behalf of its investment management clients independently of FRI affiliates, beneficial ownership of the securities reported by CBL, CRII, CRINA and CIL is not attributed to the Principal Shareholders. Each of CBL, CRII, CRINA and CIL disclaims any pecuniary interest in any of the securities reported in this Schedule 13G.  In addition, the filing of this Schedule 13G on behalf of CBL, CRII, CRINA and CIL should not be construed as an admission that CBL, CRII, CRINA or CIL is, and each of CBL, CRII, CRINA and CIL disclaims that it is, the beneficial owner, as defined in Rule 13d-3, of any of such securities.

 

Furthermore, each of CBL, CRII, CRINA and CIL believes that it is not a "group" with FRI affiliates, the Principal Shareholders, or their respective affiliates within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Act and that none of them is otherwise required to attribute to any other the beneficial ownership of the securities held by such person or by any persons or entities for whom or for which CBL, CRII, CRINA or CIL, or the FRI affiliates provide investment management services.
