Notes to Financial STATEMENTS (unaudited as to February 28, 2007)
(1) Organization
American Strategic Income Portfolio Inc. ("ASP"), American Strategic Income Portfolio Inc. II ("BSP"), American Strategic Income Portfolio Inc. III ("CSP"), and American Select Portfolio Inc. ("SLA") (the "funds") are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) as diversified, closed-end management investment companies. The funds emphasize investments in mortgage-related assets that directly or indirectly represent a participation in or are secured by and payable from mortgage loans. They may also invest in U.S. government securities, corporate debt securities, preferred stock issued by real estate investment trusts, and mortgage servicing rights. In addition, the funds may borrow using reverse repurchase agreements and revolvi ng credit facilities. Fund shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols ASP, BSP, CSP, and SLA, respectively.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Security Valuations
Security valuations for the funds' investments (other than whole loans, participation mortgages, and mortgage servicing rights) are furnished by an independent pricing service that has been approved by the funds' board of directors. Investments in equity securities that are traded on a national securities exchange are stated at the last quoted sales price if readily available for such securities on each business day. For securities traded on the Nasdaq national market system, the funds utilize the Nasdaq Official Closing Price which compares the last trade to the bid/ask price of a security. If the last trade falls within the bid/ask range, then that price will be the closing price. If the last trade is outside the bid/ask range, and falls above the ask, the ask price will be the closing price. If the last trade is below the bid, the bid will be the closing price. Other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Debt obligations exceeding 60 days to maturity are valued by an independent pricing service. The pricing service may employ methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-dealer supplied valuations, or other formula-driven valuation techniques. These techniques generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings, and general market conditions. Securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service but where an active market exists are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the securities or from a widely-used quotation system. When market quotations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by procedures established and approved by the funds' board of directors. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition; trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies; information from broker-dealers; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the security is purchased or sold. If events occur that materially affect the value of securities (including non-U.S. securities) between the close of trading in those securities and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the securities will be valued at fair value. Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at their amortized cost which approximates market value. Security valuations are performed once a week and at the end of each month.
The funds' investments in whole loans (single family, multifamily, and commercial), participation mortgages, and mortgage servicing rights are generally not traded in any organized market and therefore, market quotations are not readily available. These investments are valued at fair value according to procedures adopted by the funds' board of directors. Pursuant to these procedures, whole loan investments are initially valued at cost and their values are subsequently monitored and adjusted using a FAF Advisors, Inc. ("FAF Advisors") pricing model designed to incorporate, among other things, the present value of the projected stream of cash flows on such investments.

Notes to Financial STATEMENTS continued
The pricing model takes into account a number of relevant factors including the projected rate of prepayments, the delinquency profile, the historical payment record, the expected yield at purchase, changes in prevailing interest rates, and changes in the real or perceived liquidity of whole loans, participation mortgages or mortgage servicing rights, as the case may be. The results of the pricing model may be further subject to price ceilings due to the illiquid nature of the loans. Changes in prevailing interest rates, real or perceived liquidity, yield spreads, and creditworthiness are factored into the pricing model each week.
Certain mortgage loan information is received once a month. This information includes, but is not limited to, the projected rate of prepayments, projected rate and severity of defaults, the delinquency profile, and the historical payment record. Valuations of whole loans, participation mortgages, and mortgage servicing rights are determined no less frequently than weekly. Although FAF Advisors believes the pricing model to be reasonable and appropriate, the actual values that may be realized upon the sale of whole loans, participation mortgages, and mortgage servicing rights can only be determined in negotiations between the funds and third parties.
As of February 28, 2007, ASP, BSP, CSP, and SLA had fair valued securities with values of $48,431,524, $165,124,581, $230,351,169, and $137,581,468, respectively, or 93.1%, 84.0%, 89.4%, and 99.1% of net assets, respectively.
Security Transactions and Investment Income
For financial statement purposes, the funds record security transactions on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including accretion of bond discounts and amortization of bond premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Security gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes.
Whole Loans and Participation Mortgages
Whole loans and participation mortgages may bear a greater risk of loss arising from a default on the part of the borrower of the underlying loans than do traditional mortgage-backed securities. This is because whole loans and participation mortgages, unlike most mortgage-backed securities, generally are not backed by any government guarantee or private credit enhancement. Such risk may be greater during a period of declining or stagnant real estate values. The funds may invest in single family, multifamily, and commercial loans. Each fund currently limits its investment in commercial loans to 50% of its total assets.
At February 28, 2007, ASP had one loan representing 0.02% of net assets that was 120 or more days delinquent as to the timely monthly payment of principal and interest. This delinquency relates soley to a single family whole loan and represents 1.00% of total single family loans outstanding at February 28, 2007. At February 28, 2007, no multifamily or commercial loans in ASP were delinquent.
At February 28, 2007, BSP had five loans representing 4.45% of net assets that were 120 or more days delinquent as to the timely monthly payment of principal and interest. These delinquencies relate to multifamily whole loans and represent 12.77% of total multifamily loans outstanding at February 28, 2007. At February 28, 2007, no commercial loans in BSP were delinquent, and no single family loans in CSP were 120 or more days deliquent.
At February 28, 2007, CSP had four loans representing 6.75% of net assets that were 120 or more days delinquent as to the timely monthly payment of principal and interest. These delinquencies
2007 Semiannual Report
First American Mortgage Funds
16
relate to multifamily whole loans and represent 19.31% of total multifamily loans outstanding at February 28, 2007. At February 28, 2007, no single family or commercial loans in CSP were delinquent.
At February 28, 2007, SLA had two loans representing 4.69% of net assets that were 120 or more days delinquent as to the timely monthly payment of principal and interest. These delinquencies relate to multifamily whole loans and represent 12.78% of total multifamily loans outstanding at February 28, 2007. At February 28, 2007, no commercial loans in SLA were delinquent.
The funds may incur certain costs and delays in the event of a foreclosure. Also, there is no assurance that the subsequent sale of the property will produce an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal balance of the loan as of the date the borrower went into default, the accrued unpaid interest, and all of the foreclosure expenses. In this case, the funds may suffer a loss. In accordance with the valuation procedures adopted by the funds' board of directors, real estate acquired through foreclosure, if any, is valued at estimated market value, as determined by independent third party appraisals, less estimated selling costs. As material capital improvements are made to the property, new market value appraisals are obtained.
The funds may receive rental or other income as a result of holding real estate. In addition, the funds may incur expenses associated with maintaining or improving any real estate owned. As of February 28, 2007, BSP held real estate owned through foreclosure as follows:
Property Description | | 2/28/07 Cost | | 2/28/07 Value | | Unrealized Depreciation | |
Hidden Woods Apartment Building | | $ | 13,751,064 | | | $ | 9,409,000 | | | $ | (4,342,064 | ) | |
Sussex Club Apartment Building | | | 10,675,864 | | | | 9,275,000 | | | | (1,400,864 | ) | |
Total | | $ | 24,426,928 | | | $ | 18,684,000 | | | $ | (5,742,928 | ) | |
The income and capital improvements for the six-month period ended February 28, 2007 were:
Property Description | | Gross Rental Income | | Operating Expenses | | Net Operating Income (Loss) | | Capital Improvements | |
Hidden Woods Apartment Building | | $ | 965,140 | | | $ | 1,024,582 | | | $ | (59,442 | ) | | $ | 201,529 | | |
Sussex Club Apartment Building | | | 654,262 | | | | 608,929 | | | | 45,333 | | | | 160,628 | | |
Total | | $ | 1,619,402 | | | $ | 1,633,511 | | | $ | (14,109 | ) | | $ | 362,157 | | |
Real estate income is recorded on a net basis in the income section of the funds' Statements of Operations. Capital improvements are recorded as an addition to the cost basis of the property, which will increase any unrealized depreciation. Total unrealized depreciation on the properties is recorded in the funds' Statements of Assets and Liabilities under the "unrealized depreciation of investments in securities" caption.
As of and for the six-month period ended February 28, 2007, ASP, CSP, and SLA owned no real estate.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
The funds may acquire interests in the cash flow from servicing fees through contractual arrangements with mortgage services. Mortgage servicing rights, similar to interest-only securities, generate no further cash flow when a mortgage is prepaid or goes into default. Mortgage servicing rights are accounted for on a level-yield basis with recognized income based on the estimated amounts and timing of cash flows. Such estimates are adjusted periodically as the underlying market conditions change. As of and for the six-month period ended February 28, 2007, no fund held mortgage servicing rights.

Notes to Financial STATEMENTS continued
Reverse Repurchase Agreements
Reverse repurchase agreements involve the sale of portfolio-eligible securities by the funds, coupled with an agreement to repurchase the securities at a specified date and price. Reverse repurchase agreements may increase volatility of the funds' net asset values and involve the risk that interest costs on money borrowed may exceed the return on securities purchased with that borrowed money. Reverse repurchase agreements are considered to be borrowings by the funds, and are subject to the funds' overall restriction on borrowing under which each fund must maintain asset coverage of at least 300%. For the six-month period ended February 28, 2007, the weighted average borrowings outstanding for ASP, BSP, CSP, and SLA were $16,700,459, $37,454,765, $36,891,650, and $35,897,707, respectively, and the weighted average interest rates paid by the funds on such borrowings were 5.81%, 6.07%, 5.81%, and 6.15%, respectively.
Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis
Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the funds on a when-issued or forward-commitment basis can take place a month or more after the transaction date. Such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. Each fund segregates, with its custodian, assets with a market value equal to the amount of its purchase commitments. The purchase of securities on a when-issued or forward-commitment basis may increase the volatility of a fund's net asset value if the fund makes such purchases while remaining substantially fully invested. As of February 28, 2007, the funds had no outstanding when-issued or forward-commitment securities.
Federal Taxes
Each fund is treated as a seperate taxable entity. Each fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company as provided in Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to distribute all taxable income, if any, to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required. Each fund also intends to distribute its taxable net investment income and realized gains, if any, to avoid the payment of any federal excise taxes.
Net investment income and net realized gains and losses may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences are primarily due to deferred wash sales losses, paydown gains and losses, tax mark-to-market adjustments under Section 311(e) of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, tax deductions for real estate owned and investments in REITS. The character of distributions made during the fiscal period from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. In addition, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal period in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal period that income or realized gains or losses were recorded by the funds.
The tax character of distributions paid during the six-month period ended February 28, 2007 (estimated) and fiscal year ended August 31, 2006, were as follows:
| | American Strategic Income Portfolio | | American Strategic Income Portfolio II | |
| | Six-Month Period Ended 2/28/07 | | Year Ended 8/31/06 | | Six-Month Period Ended 2/28/07 | | Year Ended 8/31/06 | |

The tax character of distributions paid during the six-month period ended February 28, 2007 (estimated) and the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006, were as follows:

At August 31, 2006, the components of accumulated deficit on a tax basis were as follows:
| | American Strategic Income Portfolio | | American Strategic Income Portfolio II | | American Strategic Income Portfolio III | | American Select Portfolio | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 202,763 | | | $ | 696,401 | | | $ | 4,897,515 | | | $ | 1,744,023 | | |

Accumulated deficit | | $ | (3,129,079 | ) | | $ | (16,697,705 | ) | | $ | (6,725,506 | ) | | $ | (17,001 | ) | |
The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and accumulated realized gains (losses) at February 28, 2007, is attributable to a one-time tax election whereby the funds marked appreciated securities to market creating capital gains that were used to reduce capital loss carryovers and increase tax cost basis.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid on a monthly basis. Any net realized capital gains on sales of securities for the funds are distributed to shareholders at least annually. These distributions are recorded as of the close of business on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are payable in cash or, pursuant to the funds' dividend reinvestment plans, reinvested in additional shares of the funds' capital stock. Under each fund's plan, fund shares will be purchased in the open market unless the market price plus commissions exceeds the net asset value by 5% or more. If, at the close of business on the dividend payment date, the shares purchased in the open market are insufficient to satisfy the dividend reinvestment requirement, the funds will issue new shares at a discount of up to 5% from the current market price.
Repurchase Agreements and Other Short-Term Securities
For repurchase agreements entered into with certain broker-dealers, the funds, along with other affiliated registered investment companies, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account, the daily aggregate of which is invested in repurchase agreements secured by U.S. government or agency obligations. Securities pledged as collateral for all individual and joint repurchase agreements are held by the funds' custodian bank until maturity of the repurchase agreement. All agreements require that the daily market value of the collateral be in excess of the repurchase amount, including accrued interest, to protect the funds in the event of a default. As of February 28, 2007, the funds had no outstanding repurchase agreements.

Deferred Compensation Plan
Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), non-interested directors of the First American Family of Funds may participate and elect to defer receipt of part or all of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of open-end First American Funds, preselected by each Director. All amounts in the Plan are 100% vested and accounts under the Plan are obligations of the funds. Deferred amounts remain in the funds until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
(3) Expenses
Investment Advisory Fees
Pursuant to investment advisory agreements with each fund (each an "Agreement"), FAF Advisors, a subsidiary of U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank"), manages the funds' assets and furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research, and personnel. For ASP, BSP, and CSP, the Agreement provides FAF Advisors with a monthly investment advisory fee in an amount equal to an annualized rate of 0.20% of the respective fund's average weekly net assets and 4.50% of the daily gross income accrued by such fund during the month (i.e., investment income, including accretion of bond discounts and amortization of premiums, other than gains from the sale of securities or gains from options and futures contracts less interest on money borrowed by the funds). The monthly investment advisory fee shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 1/12 of 0.725% of the respective fund's average weekly net assets during the month (approximately 0.725% on an annual basis). For SLA, the Agreement provides FAF Advisors with a monthly investment advisory fee in an amount equal to an annualized rate of 0.50% of the fund's average weekly net assets. For its fees, FAF Advisors provides investment advice and, in general, conducts the management and investment activities of the funds.
The funds may invest in money market funds that are series of First American Funds, Inc. ("FAF"), subject to certain limitations. In order to avoid the payment of duplicative investment advisory fees to FAF Advisors, which acts as the investment advisor to these funds and the related money market funds, FAF Advisors will reimburse to each fund an amount equal to the investment advisory fees received from the related money market funds that are attributable to the assets of that fund. For financial statement purposes, this reimbursement is recorded as investment income.
Administrative Fees
FAF Advisors serves as the funds' administrator pursuant to administration agreements between FAF Advisors and each fund. Under these agreements, FAF Advisors receives a monthly administrative fee from each fund in an amount equal to 0.25% of the fund's average weekly net assets. For its fee, FAF Advisors provides numerous services to the funds including, but not limited to, handling the general business affairs, financial and regulatory reporting, and various other services.
Custodian Fees
U.S. Bank serves as each fund's custodian pursuant to a custodian agreement with the funds. The custodian fee charged to each fund is equal to an annual rate of 0.02% of such fund's average weekly net assets. These fees are computed weekly and paid monthly.
2007 Semiannual Report
First American Mortgage Funds
20
Under the custodian agreement, interest earned on uninvested cash balances is used reduce the respective fund's custodian expenses. These credits, if any, are disclosed as "Indirect payments from the custodian" in the Statement of Operations. Conversely, the custodian charges a fee for any cash overdrafts incurred, which increases the respective the fund's custodian expenses. For the six-month period ended February 28, 2007, custodian fees for ASP, BSP, CSP, and SLA were increased by $302, $1,027, $1,896, and $2,262 as a result of overdrafts and reduced by $1,132, $6,796, $7,331, and $3,586 as a result of interest earned, respectively.
Mortgage Servicing Fees
The funds may enter into mortgage servicing agreements with mortgage servicers for whole loans and participation mortgages. For a fee, mortgage servicers maintain loan records, such as insurance and taxes and the proper allocation of payments between principal and interest.
Other Fees and Expenses
In addition to the investment advisory, administrative, custodian, and mortgage servicing fees, the funds are responsible for paying most other operating expenses, including: legal, auditing and accounting services, postage and printing of shareholder reports, transfer agent fees and expenses, listing fees, outside directors' fees and expenses, insurance, interest, expenses related to real estate owned, fees to outside parties retained to assist in conducting due diligence, taxes, and other miscellaneous expenses. For the six-month period ended February 28, 2007, legal fees and expenses of $4,562, $4,905, $5,058, and $4,777 for ASP, BSP, CSP, and SLA, respectively, were paid to a law firm of which an Assistant Secretary of the funds is a partner.
Expenses that are directly related to a fund are charged directly to that fund. Other operating expenses of the First American Family of Funds are allocated to the funds on several bases, including evenly across all funds, allocated based on relative net assets of all funds within the First American Family of Funds or a combination of both methods.
(4) Investment Security Transactions
Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities and real estate, other than temporary investments in short-term securities, for the six-month period ended February 28, 2007, were as follows:
| | Cost of Purchases | | Proceeds from Sales | |
American Strategic Income Portfolio | | $ | 7,390,748 | | | $ | 8,982,271 | | |
American Strategic Income Portfolio II | | | 104,543,942 | | | | 106,917,236 | | |
American Strategic Income Portfolio III | | | 68,545,415 | | | | 82,774,508 | | |
American Select Portfolio | | | 37,197,400 | | | | 38,475,535 | | |
Included in proceeds from sales for ASP, BSP, CSP, and SLA were $52,380, $905,984, $539,360, and $28,597, respectively, from prepayment penalties.

(5) Capital Loss Carryover
For federal income tax purposes, the funds had capital loss carryovers at August 31, 2006, the funds' most recently completed fiscal year-end, which, if not offset by subsequent capital gains, will expire on the funds' fiscal year-ends as follows:
| | Expiration | |

(6) Indemnifications
The funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
(7) New Accounting Pronouncements
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") released FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing a fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet a more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Recent Securities and Exchange Commission guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in fund net asset value calculations as late as the funds' last net asset value calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the funds will incorporate FIN 48 in their February 28, 2008 semiannual report.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("FAS 157"). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value and requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of February 28, 2007, the funds do not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements; however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and the effect of certain of the measurements reported in the Statement of Operations for the fiscal period.

(b) David A. Yale has been appointed a co-manager of the registrant, effective April 2007. Mr. Yale joined FAF Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) as a senior real estate portfolio manager in 2006. Prior to that, Mr. Yale had been in the Commercial Real Estate Department of U.S. Bank since 2005, and at ING Investment Management/ReliaStar Investment Research in the commercial loan area since 1989. Mr. Yale has been in the commercial lending industry since 1981. John G. Wenker continues to act as the registrant’s lead portfolio manager and Chris J. Neuharth continues to manage the mortgage-backed securities portion of the registrant’s portfolio.
The following table shows, as of the period ended April 30, 2007, the number of other accounts Mr. Yale managed within each of the following categories and the total assets in the accounts managed within each category. The table also shows the number of accounts and the total assets in the accounts, if any, with respect to which the advisory fee is based on the performance of the account.
Portfolio Manager | | Type of Account Managed | | Total Number of Accounts | | Total Assets of All Accounts | | Accounts Subject to Performance- Based Fee | | Total Assets Subject��to Performance- Based Fee | |
David A. Yale | | Registered Investment Company | | 3 | | $ | 390.7 million | | 0 | | 0 | |

The registrant’s portfolio managers often manage multiple accounts. The Advisor has adopted policies and procedures regarding brokerage and trade allocation and allocation of investment opportunities that it believes are reasonably designed to address potential conflicts of interest associated with managing multiple accounts for multiple clients.
Portfolio manager compensation consists primarily of base pay, an annual cash incentive and long term incentive payments.
Base pay is determined based upon an analysis of the portfolio manager’s general performance, experience, and market levels of base pay for such position.
Portfolio managers are paid an annual incentive based upon investment performance, generally over the past one- and three-year periods unless the portfolio manager’s tenure is shorter. The maximum potential annual cash incentive is equal
to a multiple of base pay, determined based upon the particular portfolio manager’s performance and experience, and market levels of base pay for such position.
The portion of the maximum potential annual cash incentive that is paid out is based upon performance relative to the portfolio’s benchmark and performance relative to an appropriate Lipper industry peer group. Generally, the threshold for payment of an annual cash incentive is (i) benchmark performance and (ii) median performance versus the peer group, and the maximum annual cash incentive is attained at (i) a spread over the benchmark which the Advisor believes will, over time, deliver top quartile performance and (ii) top quartile performance versus the Lipper industry peer group.
Investment performance is measured on a pre-tax basis, gross of fees for registrant results and for the Lipper industry peer group.
Long term incentive payments are paid to portfolio managers on an annual basis based upon general performance and expected contributions to the success of the Advisor. Long-term incentive payments are comprised of two components: (i) performance equity units of the Advisor and (ii) U.S. Bancorp options and restricted stock.
There are generally no differences between the methods used to determine compensation with respect to the registrant and the other accounts managed by the registrant’s portfolio managers.
As of the period ended April 30, 2007, Mr. Yale did not beneficially own any equity securities of the registrant.
Item 9—Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers
Neither the registrant nor any “affiliated purchaser,” as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Exchange Act (17 CFR 240.10b-18(a)(3)), purchased any shares or other units of any class of the registrant’s equity securities that is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 781).
Item 10—Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
There have been no material changes to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the registrant’s board of directors, where those changes were implemented after the registrant last provided disclosure in response to the requirements of Item 7(d)(2)(ii)(G) of Schedule 14A (17 CFR 240.14a-101), or this item.
