The two advisers eventually combined operations as of January 1, 2012, including assigning the client contracts of the Original Aristotle Entity to Reed Conner and Birdwell. In early January, 2012, the Original Aristotle Entity withdrew its registration with the SEC and no longer exists. Reed, Conner & Birdwell then underwent a name change, becoming Aristotle Capital Management, LLC (the "Adviser"). The reportable securities managed by the Original Aristotle Entity are included here in this filing in an effort to accurately represent the full view of the actual discretion exercised by the Adviser.
