Yes. The ��è Dividend Reinvestment Program offers registered shareholders the opportunity to purchase additional shares, commission-free, through automatic dividend reinvestment and/or optional cash investments. Interested persons may contact ��è’s transfer agent, Computershare, at (888) 332-2268.

To join this plan, you must hold at least one share registered in your name. Since ��è does not offer a direct purchase plan, you must contact a stockbroker to purchase your initial share(s). If your broker holds your shares in street name, you are not eligible to join ��è’s dividend reinvestment plan until you have the shares transferred into your name. Contact your broker to request such a transfer.

For registered shareholders only, cash purchases can be made through this plan.

Effective August 15, 2008, ��è began using the Direct Registration system (DRS) for its shares, a paperless form of stock ownership commonly referred to as “book entry” that allows your shares to be held in your name and tracked electronically. You retain full ownership of your shares without having to hold a paper stock certificate.

Shares held in book entry have all the traditional rights and privileges as shares held in certificate form. Furthermore, by keeping your shares in book entry, you do not have to worry about protecting your stock certificates from loss, theft or destruction. Book entry ownership also allows for electronic shares transactions, such as ownership transfers, sales and moving shares to or from a broker.
