Notes
i Please note that national forms may vary due to specific national legislation
(Article 3(1a) of Directive 2004/109/EC) as for instance the applicable thresholds
or information regarding capital holdings.
ii Full name of the legal entity and further specification of the issuer or
underlying issuer, provided it is reliable and accurate (e.g. address, LEI,
domestic number identity).
iii Other reason for the notification could be voluntary notifications, changes of
attribution of the nature of the holding (e.g. expiring of financial instruments)
or acting in concert.
iv This should be the full name of (a) the shareholder; (b) the natural person or
legal entity acquiring, disposing of or exercising voting rights in the cases
provided for in Article 9 (b) to (h) of the Transparency Law; or (c) the holder of
financial instruments referred to in Article 12(1) of the Transparency Law.
As the disclosure of cases of acting in concert may vary due to the specific
circumstances (e.g. same or different total positions of the parties, entering or
exiting of acting in concert by a single party) the standard form does not provide
for a specific method how to notify cases of acting in concert.
In relation to the transactions referred to in points (b) to (h) of Article 9 of
the Transparency Law, the following list is provided as indication of the persons
who should be mentioned:
• in the circumstances foreseen in letter (b) of Article 9 of that Law, the
natural person or legal entity that acquires the voting rights and is entitled
to exercise them under the agreement and the natural person or legal entity
who is transferring temporarily for consideration the voting rights;
• in the circumstances foreseen in letter (c) of Article 9 of that Law, the
natural person or legal entity holding the collateral, provided the person or
entity controls the voting rights and declares its intention of exercising
them, and natural person or legal entity lodging the collateral under these
conditions;
• in the circumstances foreseen in letter (d) of Article 9 of that Law, the
natural person or legal entity who has a life interest in shares if that
person or entity is entitled to exercise the voting rights attached to the
shares and the natural person or legal entity who is disposing of the voting
rights when the life interest is created;
• in the circumstances foreseen in letter (e) of Article 9 of that Law, the
controlling natural person or legal entity and, provided it has a notification
duty at an individual level under Article 8, under letters (a) to (d) of
Article 9 of that Law or under a combination of any of those situations, the
controlled undertaking;
• in the circumstances foreseen in letter (f) of Article 9 of that Law, the
deposit taker of the shares, if he can exercise the voting rights attached to
the shares deposited with him at his discretion, and the depositor of the
shares allowing the deposit taker to exercise the voting rights at his
discretion;
• in the circumstances foreseen in letter (g) of Article 9 of that Law, the
natural person or legal entity that controls the voting rights;
• in the circumstances foreseen in letter (h) of Article 9 of that Law, the
proxy holder, if he can exercise the voting rights at his discretion, and the
shareholder who has given his proxy to the proxy holder allowing the latter to
exercise the voting rights at his discretion (e.g. management companies).
v Applicable in the cases provided for in Article 9 (b) to (h) of the Transparency
Law. This should be the full name of the shareholder who is the counterparty to
the natural person or legal entity referred to in Article 9 of that Law unless the
percentage of voting rights held by the shareholder is lower than the 5% threshold
for the disclosure of voting rights holdings (e.g. identification of funds managed
by management companies).
vi The date on which threshold is crossed or reached should be the date on which
the acquisition or disposal took place or the other reason triggered the
notification obligation. For passive crossings, the date when the corporate event
took effect.
vii The total number of voting rights shall be composed of all the shares,
including depository receipts representing shares, to which voting rights are
attached even if the exercise thereof is suspended.
viii If the holding has fallen below the 5% threshold, please note that it is not
necessary to disclose the extent of the holding, only that the new holding is
below that threshold.
ix In case of combined holdings of shares with voting rights attached 'direct
holding' and voting rights 'indirect holding', please split the voting rights
number and percentage into the direct and indirect columns – if there is no
combined holdings, please leave the relevant box blank.
x Date of maturity/expiration of the financial instrument i.e. the date when right
to acquire shares ends.
xi If the financial instrument has such a period – please specify this period –
for example once every 3 months starting from date .
xii In case of cash settled instruments the number and percentages of voting
rights is to be presented on a delta- adjusted basis (Article 12(2) of the
Transparency Law).
xiii If the person subject to the notification obligation is either controlled
and/or does control another undertaking then the second option applies.
xiv The full chain of controlled undertakings starting with the ultimate
controlling natural person or legal entity also has to be presented in the cases
in which only on subsidiary level a threshold is crossed or reached and the
subsidiary undertaking discloses the notification as only then the market always
gets the full picture of the group holdings. In case of multiple chains through
which the voting rights and/or financial instruments are effectively held the
chains have to be presented chain by chain leaving a row free between different
chains (e.g.: A, B, C, free row, A, B, D, free row, A, E, F etc.). Numbers shall
be attributed to all persons or entities within the group in column 1 in order to
allow a clear indication of the control structure in column 6. The names of all
undertakings of the control chain shall be provided in column 2, even if the
number of the directly held voting rights and/or financial instruments is not
equal or higher than the notifiable threshold. Columns 3 & 4 shall indicate the
holdings of those persons or entities directly holding the voting rights and/or
financial instruments if the holding is equal or higher than the notifiable
threshold.
xv The names of controlled undertakings through which the voting rights and/or
financial instruments are effectively held have to be presented irrespectively
whether the controlled undertakings cross or reach the lowest applicable threshold
themselves.
xvi Example: Correction of a previous notification.
