Summary of U.S. Federal Tax Treatment of Quarterly Dividend Distributions

The current information is contained in our Form 10-K (filed August 19, 2009). The information is on page 42 as seen below:

Dividends
 
For U.S. federal tax purposes, we had cumulative earnings and profits in excess of distributions for our taxable year ended July 3, 2009. As a result, distributions on our common shares to U.S. shareholders during this period were treated as dividend income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Non-U.S. shareholders should consult with a tax advisor to determine appropriate tax treatment.
