4.

Transactions and Holdings Required to be Reported
(a) General Requirements
(i) Pursuant to Rule 16a-3(f), if not previously reported, the following transactions, and total beneficial ownershipas of
the end of the issuer’s fiscal year (or an earlier date applicable to a person ceasing to be an insider during the fiscal
year) for any class of securities in which a transaction is reported, shall be reported:
(A)

any transaction during the issuer’s most recent fiscal year that was exempt from Section 16(b) of the Act, except:
(1) any transaction exempt from Section 16(b) pursuant to §240.16b-3(d), §240.16b-3(e), or §240.16b-3(f) (these
are required to be reported on Form 4); (2) any exercise or conversion of derivative securities exempt under either
§240.16b-3 or §240.16b-6(b) (these are required to be reported on Form 4); (3) any transaction exempt from Section
16(b) of the Act pursuant to §240.16b-3(c), which is exempt from Section 16(a) of the Act; and (4) any transaction
exempt from Section 16 of the Act pursuant to another Section 16(a) rule;

(B)

any small acquisition or series of acquisitions in a six month period during the issuer’s fiscal year not exceeding
$10,000 in market value (see Rule 16a-6);

(C)

any transactions or holdings that should have been reported during the issuer’s fiscal year on a Form 3 or Form
4, but were not reported. The first Form 5 filing obligation shall include all holdings and transactions that should
have been reported in each of the issuer’s last two fiscal years but were not. See Instruction 8 for the code to
identify delinquent Form 3 holdings or Form 4 transactions reported on this Form 5.

Note: A required Form 3 or Form 4 must be filed within the time specified by this Form. Form 3 holdings or Form 4
transactions reported on Form 5 represent delinquent Form 3 and Form 4 filings.
(ii) Each transaction should be reported on a separate line. Transaction codes specified in Item 8 should be used to identify
the nature of the transactions resulting in an acquisition or disposition of a security. A deemed execution date must
be reported in Column 2A of Table I or Column 3A of Table II only if the execution date for the transaction is calculated
pursuant to §240.16a-3(g)(2) or §240.16a-3(g)(3).
(iii) Every transaction shall be reported even though acquisitions and dispositions with respect to a class of securities are
equal. Report total beneficial ownership as of the end of the issuer’s fiscal year for all classes of securities in which
a transaction was reported.
(b) Beneficial Ownership Reported (Pecuniary Interest)
(i) Although for purposes of determining status as a ten percent holder, a person is deemed to beneficially own securities
over which that person exercises voting or investment control (see Rule 16a-1(a)(1)), for reporting transactions and
holdings, a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities if that person has or shares the opportunity,
directly or indirectly, to profit or share in any profit derived from a transaction in the securities (“pecuniary interest”).
See Rule 16a-1(a)(2). See also Rule 16a-8 for the application of the beneficial ownership definition to trust holdings and
transactions.
(ii) Both direct and indirect beneficial ownership of securities shall be reported. Securities beneficially owned directly are
those held in the reporting person’s name or in the name of a bank, broker or nominee for the account of the reporting
person. In addition, securities held as joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety, or as community
property are to be reported as held directly. If a person has a pecuniary interest, by reason of any contract, understanding
or relationship (including a family relationship or arrangement) in securities held in the name of another person, that
person is an indirect beneficial owner of the securities. See Rule 16a-1(a)(2)(ii) for certain indirect beneficial ownerships.
(iii) Report transactions in securities beneficially owned directly on a separate line from those beneficially owned indirectly.
Report different forms of indirect ownership on separate lines. The nature of indirect ownership shall be stated as
specifically as possible; for example, “By Self as Trustee for X,” “By Spouse,” “By X Trust,” “By Y Corporation,”
3

etc.
(iv) In stating the amount of securities acquired, disposed of, or beneficially owned indirectly through a partnership,
corporation, trust, or other entity, report the number of securities representing the reporting person’s proportionate
interest in transactions conducted by that entity or holdings of that entity. Alternatively, at the option of the reporting
person, the entire amount of the entity’s interest may be reported. See Rule 16a-1(a)(2)(ii)(B) and Rule 16a-1(a)(2)(iii).
(v) Where more than one beneficial owner of the same equity securities must report the same transaction or holding on Form
5, such owners may file Form 5 individually or jointly. Joint and group filings may be made by any designated beneficial
owner. Transactions and holdings with respect to securities owned separately by any joint or group filer are permitted
to be included in the joint filing. Indicate only the name and address of the designated filer in Item 1 of Form 5 and attach
a list of the names and addresses of each other reporting person. Joint and group filings must include all required
information for each beneficial owner, and such filings must be signed by each beneficial owner, or on behalf of such
owner by an authorized person.
If this Form is being filed in paper pursuant to a hardship exemption and the space provided for signatures is insufficient,
attach a signature page. If this Form is being filed in paper, submit any attached listing of names or signatures on another
Form 5, copy of Form 5 or separate page of 8 ½ by 11 inch white paper, indicate the number of pages comprising the
report (Form plus attachments) at the bottom of each report page (e.g., 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3), and include the name of
the designated filer and information required by Items 2 and 3 of the Form on the attachment.
See Rule 16a-3(i) regarding signatures.
(c) Non-Derivative and Derivative Securities
(i) Report acquisitions or dispositions and holdings of non-derivative securities in Table I. Report acquisitions or
dispositions and holdings of derivative securities (e.g., puts, calls, options, warrants, convertible securities, or other
rights or obligations to buy or sell securities) in Table II. Report the exercise or conversion of a derivative security in
Table II (as a disposition of the derivative security) and report in Table I the holdings of the underlying security. Report
acquisitions or dispositions and holdings of derivative securities that are both equity securities and convertible or
exchangeable for other equity securities (e.g., convertible preferred securities) only in Table II.
(ii) The title of a derivative security and the title of the equity security underlying the derivative security should be shown
separately in the appropriate columns in Table II. The “puts” and “calls” reported in Table II include, in addition to
separate puts and calls, any combination of the two, such as spreads and straddles. In reporting an option in Table II,
state whether it represents a right to buy, a right to sell, an obligation to buy, or an obligation to sell the equity securities
subject to the option.
(iii) Describe in the appropriate columns in Table II characteristics of derivative securities, including title, exercise or
conversion price, date exercisable, expiration date, and the title and amount of securities underlying the derivative
security. If the transaction reported is a purchase or a sale of a derivative security, the purchase or sale price of that
derivative security shall be reported in column 8. If the transaction is the exercise or conversion of a derivative security,
leave column 8 blank and report the exercise or conversion price of the derivative security in column 2.
(iv) Securities constituting components of a unit shall be reported separately on the applicable table (e.g., if a unit has a
non-derivative security component and a derivative security component, the non-derivative security component shall
be reported in Table I and the derivative security component shall be reported in Table II). The relationship between
individual securities comprising the unit shall be indicated in the space provided for explanation of responses. When
securities are purchased or sold as a unit, state the purchase or sale price per unit and other required information
regarding the unit securities.
5.

Price of Securities
(a) Prices of securities shall be reported in U.S. dollars on a per share basis, not an aggregate basis, except that the aggregate
price of debt shall be stated. Amounts reported shall exclude brokerage commissions and other costs of execution.

4

(b) If consideration other than cash was paid for the security, describe the consideration, including the value of the
consideration, in the space provided for explanation of responses.
6.

Additional Information
(a) If the space provided in the line items on the electronic Form is insufficient, use the space provided for footnotes. If the
space provided for footnotes is insufficient, create a footnote that refers to an exhibit to the form that contains the additional
information.
(b) If the space provided in the line items on the paper Form or space provided for additional comments is insufficient, attach
another Form 5, copy of Form 5 or separate 8 ½ by 11 inch white paper to Form 5, completed as appropriate to include the
additional comments. Each attached page must include information required in Items 1, 2 and 3 of the Form. The number of
pages comprising the report (Form plus attachments) shall be indicated at the bottom of each report page (e.g., 1 of 3, 2 of
3, 3 of 3).
(c) If one or more exhibits are included, whether due to a lack of space or because the exhibit is, by nature, a separate document
(e.g., a power of attorney), provide a sequentially numbered list of the exhibits in the Form. Use the number “24” for any
power of attorney and the number “99” for any other exhibit. If there is more than one of either such exhibit, then use numerical
subparts. If the exhibit is being filed as a confirming electronic copy under Regulation S-T Rule 202(d) (17 CFR 232.202(d)),
then place the designation “CE” (confirming exhibit) next to the name of the exhibit in the exhibit list. If the exhibit is being
filed in paper pursuant to a hardship exception under Regulation S-T Rule 202 (17 CFR 232.202), then place the designation
“P” (paper) next to the name of the exhibit in the exhibit list.
(d) If additional information is not reported as provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this instruction, whichever apply, it will
be assumed that no additional information was provided.

7.

Signature
(a) If the Form is filed for an individual, it shall be signed by that person or specifically on behalf of the individual by a person
authorized to sign for the individual. If signed on behalf of the individual by another person, the authority of such person
to sign the Form shall be confirmed to the Commission in writing in an attachment to the Form or as soon as practicable
in an amendment by the individual for whom the Form is filed, unless such a confirmation still in effect is on file with the
Commission. The confirming statement need only indicate that the reporting person authorizes and designates the named
person or persons to file the Form on the reporting person’s behalf, and state the duration of the authorization.
(b) If the Form is filed for a corporation, partnership, trust, or other entity, the capacity in which the individual signed shall
be set forth (e.g., John Smith, Secretary, on behalf of X Corporation).

8.

Transaction Codes
Use the codes listed below to indicate in Table I, Column 3 and Table II, Column 4 the character of the transaction reported. Use
the code that most appropriately describes the transaction. If the transaction is not specifically listed, use transaction code “J”
and describe the nature of the transaction in the space for explanation of responses. If a transaction involves an equity swap
or instrument with similar characteristics, use transaction Code “K” in addition to the code(s) that most appropriately describes
the transaction, e.g., “S/K” or “P/K.”
