This decrease in the SEC registration statement filing fee follows a decrease in the filing fee from fiscal year 2013 to fiscal year 2014 (ending September 30) of approximately six percent. This fee rate adjustment applies to the filing fee under Section 6(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 applicable to the registration of securities, the filing fee under Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 applicable to the repurchase of securities, and the filing fee under Section 14(g) of the Exchange Act applicable to proxy solicitations and statements in corporate control transactions.
