 Silchester International Investors LLP ("Silchester") acts as investment
 manager for certain commingled funds (our "Clients"). In acting for our
 Clients, Silchester is given full discretion over their investments and is
 empowered to vote on their behalf. However, we do not act as our Clients'
 custodian and therefore shares are not held in our name but in the name of
 each Client's custodian bank. The change in
 Silchester's holdings was due to a series of transactions over a series of
 different trading days.
