Additional Information
Note: Tweedy, Browne Company LLC
("TBC") is an investment adviser registered with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). As of June 30,
2024, TBC manages approximately 9 billion in client assets.
Securities managed on behalf of clients are held in the clients'
own accounts and the clients themselves own all securities in their
accounts. TBC's client base consists of a variety of institutional
accounts including pooled vehicles, pension accounts, foundations
as well as high net worth individuals. TBC is also the investment
manager and primary distributor of four SEC registered open-end
mutual funds, the Tweedy, Browne International Value Fund, the
Tweedy, Browne Value Fund, Tweedy, Browne Worldwide High Dividend
Value Fund, Tweedy, Browne Global Value Fund II - Unhedged and
three sub-funds of a Luxembourg registered SICAV. TBC itself does
not own any shares.
Pursuant to written investment advisory agreements between TBC and
its client accounts, TBC has been granted investment discretion and
in most cases authority to exercise the voting rights attached to
the shares. Further, each TBC client enters into a separate custody
agreement with a bank of their choosing, which bank in turn
appoints a UK sub-custodian to hold their respective clients'
positions in UK securities. TBC instructs each U.S. based
custodian, which in turn directs the respective sub-custodian, as
to the disposition, acquisition and exercise of voting rights
attached to the shares owned by the TBC client accounts.
