1 Fund shares are subject to investment risk, including possible loss of principal amount invested. Figures are shown at NAV and include changes in principal value, reinvested

dividends, and capital gain distributions. Investment return and principal value will vary, and shares may be worth more or less at redemption than at original purchase. Past

may vary between the official NAV, the benchmark, and the sub-manager. Performance is shown for the funded classes of the Fund as of the date shown above. For availability

of other classes of shares and their respective fees, expenses, and performance, please refer to the prospectus or contact the fund’s distributor. 2 Returns shown with gross dividends reinvested.

Numbers may not add to 100% due to rounding; all numbers are percentages. Analysis represents the equity-only performance of the portfolio as calculated by the Wilshire Atlas attribution model and is exclusive

of cash, trusts, mutual funds, de-listed securities, and other non-equity holdings. Returns will not match official TRP performance because Wilshire uses different pricing and exchange rate sources and does not

capture intra-day trading or fair-value pricing. Performance for each security is obtained in the local currency and, if necessary, is converted using an exchange rate determined by an independent third party.

Total Return Performance

1 Portfolio manager assumed responsibilities on 10 October 2005, whereas composite and index returns are as of 31 October 2005. 2 Net of fees performance reflects the deduction of the highest applicable management fee (Model Net Fee) that would be charged based on the fee schedule appropriate to you for

this mandate, without the benefit of breakpoints. Please be advised that the composite may include other investment products that are subject to management fees that are

inapplicable to you but are in excess of the Model Net Fee. Therefore, the actual performance of all the portfolios in the composite on a net fee basis will be different and may be

lower than the Model Net Fee performance. However, such Model Net Fee performance is intended to provide the most appropriate example of the impact management fees

would have by applying management fees relevant to you to the gross performance of the composite. Past performance cannot guarantee future results.

Supplemental information. See “GIPS® Disclosure” for additional performance information. 3 Returns shown with gross dividends reinvested. 4 The Value Added is shown as Europe Equity Composite (Gross of Fees) minus MSCI Europe Index.

Valuations and performance are computed in U.S. dollars and converted to euros. When converting U.S. dollar composite returns, benchmarks, dispersion, and asset data, the

same exchange rate source is used consistently. Total returns in non-U.S. dollar currencies are calculated by adjusting U.S. dollar performance by the percent change in the U.S.

dollar/foreign currency exchange rate (as determined by an independent third party) for the time periods selected.

The Europe Equity Composite seeks long-term capital appreciation

primarily through investment in established companies, in developed

European markets, with faster earnings growth and reasonable valuation

levels relative to market/sector averages. The strategy generally includes

0-10% exposure to emerging markets stocks as defined by inclusion in

the European segment of the MSCI Emerging Markets (Free) Index.

GIPS® Disclosure

1 Reflects deduction of highest applicable fee schedule without benefit of breakpoints. Investment return and principal value will vary. Past performance cannot guarantee future

results. See below for further information related to net of fee calculations.

T. Rowe Price (“TRP”) has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®). TRP has been independently verified

for the 10-year period ended June 30, 2012 by KPMG LLP. The verification report is available upon request. Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the

composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis and (2) the firm's policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in

compliance with the GIPS standards. Verification does not ensure the accuracy of any specific composite presentation.

TRP is a U.S. investment management firm with various investment advisers registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.K. Financial Services

Authority, and other regulatory bodies in various countries and holds itself out as such to potential clients for GIPS purposes. TRP further defines itself under GIPS as a

discretionary investment manager providing services primarily to institutional clients with regard to various mandates, which include U.S., international, and global strategies but

excluding the services of the Private Asset Management group. The minimum asset level for equity portfolios to be included in composites is $5 million and prior to January 2002

the minimum was $1 million. The minimum asset level for fixed income and asset allocation portfolios to be included in composites is $10 million; prior to October 2004 the

minimum was $5 million; and prior to January 2002 the minimum was $1 million. Valuations and performance are computed in U.S. dollars and converted to Euro. When

converting U.S. dollar composite returns, benchmarks, dispersion and asset data, the same exchange rate source is used consistently. Total returns in non-U.S. dollar currencies

are calculated by adjusting U.S. dollar performance by the percent change in the U.S. dollar/foreign currency exchange rate (as determined by an independent third party) for the

time periods selected.

Gross performance returns are presented before management and all other fees, where applicable, but after trading expenses. Net of fees performance reflects the deduction of the

highest applicable management fee that would be charged based on the fee schedule appropriate to you for this mandate, without the benefit of breakpoints. Gross and net

performance returns are net of nonreclaimable withholding taxes on dividends, interest income, and capital gains. Policies for valuing portfolios, calculating performance, and

preparing compliant presentations are available upon request. Dispersion is measured by the standard deviation across asset-weighted portfolio returns represented within a

composite for the full year. Dispersion is not calculated for the composites in which there are five or fewer portfolios. Some portfolios may trade futures, options, and other

potentially high-risk derivatives which generally represent less than 10% of a portfolio.

Benchmarks are taken from published sources and may have different calculation methodologies, pricing times, and foreign exchange sources from the composite.

Composite policy requires the temporary removal of any portfolio incurring a client initiated significant cash inflow or outflow greater than or equal to 15% of portfolio assets.

The temporary removal of such an account occurs at the beginning of the measurement period in which the significant cash flow occurs and the account re-enters the composite

on the last day of the current month after the cash flow. Additional information regarding the treatment of significant cash flows is available upon request.

The firm's list of composite descriptions and/or a presentation that adheres to the GIPS® standards are available upon request.
