          Item 4.      Ownership

 

          The securities reported herein (the “Securities”) are beneficially owned by one or more open‑end investment companies

          or other managed accounts which, pursuant to investment management contracts, are managed by Franklin Mutual

          Advisers, LLC ("FMA"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc. ("FRI"). Such investment

          management contracts grant to FMA all investment and voting power over the securities owned by such investment

          management clients.  Therefore, FMA may be deemed to be, for purposes of Rule 13d‑3 under the Act, the beneficial

          owner of the Securities.

 

          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 FMA are exercised independently from FRI

          (FMA’s parent holding company) and from all other investment management subsidiaries of FRI (FRI, its affiliates and

          investment management subsidiaries other than FMA are, collectively, “FRI affiliates”). Furthermore, internal policies

          and procedures of FMA and FRI establish informational barriers that prevent the flow between FMA and the FRI

          affiliates of information that relates to the voting and investment powers over the securities owned by their respective

          investment management clients. Consequently, FMA and the FRI affiliates report 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 FMA exercises

          voting and investment powers on behalf of its investment management clients independently of FRI, the Principal

          Shareholders, and their respective affiliates, beneficial ownership of the securities being reported by FMA is being

          attributed only to FMA. FMA disclaims any pecuniary interest in any of the Securities.  In addition, the filing of this

          Schedule 13G on behalf of FMA should not be construed as an admission that it is, and it disclaims that it is, the

          beneficial owner, as defined in Rule 13d‑3, of any of the Securities.

 

 


 

 

 

 

        CUSIP NO.  88033G100                                                     13G                                                         Page 5 of 8

 

          Furthermore, FMA believes that it is not a "group" with FRI, the Principal Shareholders, or their respective

          affiliates within the meaning of Rule 13d‑5 under the Act and that none of them are otherwise required to attribute

          to each other the beneficial ownership of the Securities held by any of them or by any persons or entities for

          whom or for which FMA or the FRI affiliates provide investment management services.

          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

 

                          The clients of Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC, including investment companies registered under the

                          Investment Company Act of 1940 and other managed accounts, have the right to receive or power to

                          direct the receipt of dividends from, and the proceeds from the sale of, the Securities.

 

                          Mutual Shares Fund, a series of Franklin Mutual Series Funds, an investment company

                          registered under the Investment company Act of 1940, has an interest in 25,881,411

                          shares, or 5.3%, of the class of securities reported herein.
