 11. Additional information(xvi)

 In reference to section 9, the shares detailed are managed by the named
 discretionary investment management entity within multiple portfolios on
 behalf of underlying clients, based on investment management agreements
 whereby the client has delegated the exercise of the voting power to the
 referenced investment manager.

 This disclosure reflects the fact that the voting rights held by the
 underlying investment management entity Standard Life Investments Limited
 decreased below the 5% notifiable threshold on 20 November 2020. This is due
 to an internal redistribution of voting rights due to a scheduled client
 restructuring.
