PRIVACY NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS
Harris Associates L.P. and Harris Associates Securities L.P. (collectively "Harris") consider the preservation
of your privacy a priority. In order to provide you with individualized service, we collect certain nonpublic
personal information about you from information you provide on applications and other forms (such as your
address and social security number), and information about your transactions with us (such as purchases,
sales and account balances). We may also collect such information through your account inquiries by mail
or telephone.
We do not disclose any nonpublic personal information about you to anyone, except as
permitted by law. Specifically, so that we may continue to tailor our products and services to
meet your investing needs and to effect transactions you request or authorize, we may
disclose the information we collect, as described above, to companies that perform
administrative or marketing services on our behalf, including financial service providers such
as custodians, and administrative and marketing service providers such as printers and
mailers. These companies will use this information only for the services for which we hired
them and are not permitted to use or share this information for any other purpose.
A Securities and Exchange Commission rule requires that we provide to those issuers whose
stock we are holding for your accounts, upon request, your name, address, and the number of
shares held, unless you object to such disclosure. We will not disclose this information to
issuers unless you advise us in writing that you wish to have this information disclosed. To
do so, please send a letter to Harris Associates Securities L.P., Attention Compliance
Department, Two North LaSalle Street, Suite 500, Chicago, IL 60602. Since it is not possible
to disclose this information to some issuers and not to others, if you choose to have this
information disclosed it will be available to all issuers.
In order to further protect you, we also maintain strict internal security measures. We restrict
access to your personal and account information to those employees who need to know that
information to service your account. We also maintain physical, electronic and procedural
safeguards to protect your nonpublic personal information.
If you have any questions regarding our policy or need additional copies of this notice
please contact the Compliance Department at 312-621-0600.
