instruments referred to in Regulation 17(1) of the Regulations (Article 13(1)
of Directive 2004/109/EC).
As the disclosure of cases of acting in concert may vary due to the specific

provide for a specific method how to notify cases of acting in concert.

list is provided as an indication of the persons who should be mentioned:

Regulations (Article 10 of Directive 2004/109/EC), 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 the Regulation 15 of the

entity holding the collateral, provided the person or entity controls the
voting rights and declares its intention of exercising them, and natural

Regulations (Article 10 of Directive 2004/109/EC), the natural person or legal

Regulations (Article 10 of Directive 2004/109/EC), the controlling natural

Directive 2004/109/EC), under letters (a) to (d) of Regulation 15 of the
Regulations (Article 10 of Directive 2004/109/EC) or under a combination of

- in the circumstances foreseen in letter (f) of Regulation 15 of the

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 Regulation 15(b) to (h) of the
Regulations (Article 10 (b) to (h) of Directive 2004/109/EC). This should be
the full name of the shareholder who is the counterparty to the natural person
or legal entity referred to in Regulation 15 of the Regulations (Article 10
Directive 2004/109/EC) unless the percentage of voting rights held by the
shareholder is lower than the lowest notifiable threshold for the disclosure
of voting rights holdings in accordance with the requirements of the
Regulations and the Transparency Rules.
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 lowest applicable threshold in
accordance with the Regulations and the Transparency Rules the holder is not
obliged to disclose the extent of the holding only that the holding is “below
3%” or “below 5%” as appropriate.
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.

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, has to be presented also in cases
in which only on subsidiary level a threshold is crossed or reached and the
subsidiary undertaking discloses the notification, as only thus will the
markets get a full picture of the group holdings. In the 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.).
xv The names of controlled undertakings through which the voting rights and/or
financial instruments are effectively held have to be presented irrespective
of whether the controlled undertakings cross or reach the lowest applicable
threshold themselves.
xvi Example: Correction of a previous notification.
