VALUATION 

Fair

Value

  The

fund’s

financial

instruments

are

valued

at

the

close

of

the

New

York

Stock

Exchange

(NYSE),

normally

4

p.m.

ET,

each

day

the

NYSE

is

open

for

business,

and

are

reported

at

fair

value,

which

GAAP

defines

as

the

price

that

would

be

received

to

sell

an

asset

or

paid

to

transfer

a

liability

in

an

orderly

transaction

between

market

participants

at

date. The

T.

Rowe

Price

Valuation

Committee

(the

Valuation

Committee)

is

an

internal

committee

that

has

been

delegated

certain

responsibilities

by

the

fund’s

Board

of

Directors

(the

Board)

to

ensure

that

financial

instruments

are

appropriately

priced

at

fair

value

in

accordance

with

GAAP

and

the

1940

Act.

Subject

to

oversight

by

the

Board,

the

Valuation

Committee

develops

and

oversees

pricing-related

policies

and

procedures

and

approves

all

fair

value

determinations.

Specifically,

the

Valuation

Committee

establishes

policies

and

procedures

used

in

valuing

financial

instruments,

including

those

which

cannot

be

valued

in

accordance

with

normal

or

using

determines

pricing

the

pricing

process

to

ensure

policies

and

procedures

are

being

followed;

and

provides

guidance

on

internal

controls

and

valuation-related

matters.

The

Valuation

Committee

provides

periodic

reporting

to

the

Board

on

valuation

matters.

Various

valuation

techniques

and

inputs

are

used

to

determine

the

fair

value

of

financial

instruments.

GAAP

establishes

the

following

fair

value

hierarchy

that

categorizes

the

inputs

used

to

measure

fair

value:

Level

1

–

quoted

prices

(unadjusted)

in

active

markets

for

identical

financial

instruments

that

the

fund

can

access

at

the

reporting

date

T.

2

–

that

are

either

or

indirectly

(including,

but

not

limited

to,

quoted

prices

for

similar

financial

instruments

in

active

markets,

quoted

prices

for

identical

or

similar

financial

instruments

in

inactive

markets,

interest

rates

and

yield

curves,

implied

volatilities,

and

credit

spreads)

Level

3

–

unobservable

inputs

(including

the fund’s

own

assumptions

in

determining

fair

value)

Observable

inputs

are

developed

using

market

data,

such

as

publicly

available

information

about

actual

events

or

transactions,

and

reflect

the

assumptions

that

market

participants

would

use

to

price

the

financial

instrument.

Unobservable

inputs

are

those

for

which

market

data

are

not

available

and

are

developed

using

the

best

information

available

about

the

assumptions

that

market

participants

would

use

to

price

the

financial

instrument.

GAAP

requires

valuation

techniques

to

maximize

the

use

of

relevant

observable

inputs

and

minimize

the

use

of

unobservable

inputs.

When

multiple

inputs

are

used

to

derive

fair

value,

the

financial

instrument

is

assigned

to

the

level

within

the

fair

value

hierarchy

based

on

the

lowest-level

input

that

is

significant

to

the

fair

value

of

the

financial

instrument.

Input

levels

are

not

necessarily

an

indication

of

the

risk

or

liquidity

associated

with

financial

instruments

at

that

level

but

rather

the

degree

of

judgment

used

in

determining

those

values.

exchange-traded

on

a

or,

for

the

are

OTC

Bulletin

securities

are

valued

at

the

mean

of

the

closing

bid

and

asked

prices.

A

security

that

is

listed

or

traded

on

more

than

one

exchange

is

valued

at

the

quotation

on

the

exchange

determined

to

be

the

primary

market

for

such

security.

Listed

securities

not

traded

on

a

particular

day

are

valued

at

the

mean

of

the

closing

bid

and

asked

prices

for

domestic

securities

and

the

last

quoted

sale

or

closing

price

for

international

securities.

The

last

quoted

prices

of

non-U.S.

equity

securities

may

be

adjusted

to

reflect

the

fair

value

of

such

securities

at

the

close

of

the

NYSE,

if

the

fund

determines

that

developments

between

the

close

of

a

foreign

market

and

the

close

of

the

NYSE

will

affect

the

value

of

some

or

all

of

its

portfolio

securities.

Each

business

day,

the

fund

uses

information

from

outside

pricing

services

to

evaluate

and,

if

appropriate,

decide whether

it

is

necessary

to

adjust

quoted

prices

to

reflect

fair

value

by

reviewing

a

variety

of

factors,

including

developments

in

foreign

markets,

the

performance

of

U.S.

securities

markets,

and

the

performance

of

instruments

trading

in

U.S.

markets

that

represent

foreign

securities

and

baskets

of

foreign

securities. The

fund

uses

outside

pricing

services

T.

to

provide

it

with

quoted

prices

and

information

to

evaluate

or

those

prices.

The

fund

cannot

predict

how

often

it

will

use

quoted

prices

and

how

often

it

will

determine

it

necessary

to

adjust

those

prices

to

reflect

fair

value.

Investments

denominated

in

foreign

currencies

are

translated

into

values

each

day

at

the

prevailing

asked

prices

of

such

currencies

against

as

by

Investments

in

mutual

funds

are

valued

at

the

mutual

fund’s

closing

NAV

per

share

on

the

day

of

valuation.

Investments

for

which

market

quotations

or

market-based

valuations

are

not

readily

available

or

deemed

unreliable

are

valued

at

fair

value

as

determined

in

good

faith

by

the

Valuation

Committee,

in

accordance

with

fair

valuation

policies

and

procedures.

The

objective

of

any

fair

value

pricing

determination

is

to

arrive

at

a

price

that

could

reasonably

be

expected

from

a

current

sale.

Financial

instruments

fair

valued

by

the

Valuation

Committee

are

primarily

private

placements,

restricted

securities,

warrants,

rights,

and

other

securities

that

are

not

publicly

traded.

Factors

used

in

determining

fair

value

vary

by

type

of

investment

and

may

include

market

or

investment

specific

considerations.

The

Valuation

Committee

typically

will

afford

greatest

weight

to

actual

prices

in

arm’s

length

transactions,

to

the

extent

they

represent

orderly

transactions

between

market

participants,

transaction

information

can

be

reliably

obtained,

and

prices

are

deemed

representative

of

fair

value.

However,

the

Valuation

Committee

may

also

consider

other

valuation

methods

such

as

market-based

valuation

multiples;

a

discount

or

premium

from

market

value

of

a

similar,

freely

traded

security

of

the

same

issuer;

discounted

cash

flows;

yield

to

maturity;

or

some

combination.

Fair

value

determinations

are

reviewed

on

a

regular

basis

and

updated

as

information

becomes

available,

including

actual

purchase

and

sale

transactions

of

the

investment.

Because

any

fair

value

determination

involves

a

significant

amount

of

judgment,

there

is

a

degree

of

subjectivity

inherent

in

such

pricing

decisions,

and

fair

value

prices

determined

by

the

Valuation

Committee

could

differ

from

those

of

other

market

participants.
