   11. Additional informationxvi
   The TR1 notification submitted on 06 October 2017 was made in error. The
   calculation of our holding in the Issuer, as set out in the TR1
   notification of 06 October 2017, was made using the issued share capital of
   131,716,033 (10.87%), rather than the total number of voting rights of
   129,651,091 (11.05%). Therefore, based on the correct calculation using the
   number of voting rights, the TR1 notification of 06 October 2017 should not
   have been made as the 11% downward threshold was not crossed. The
   information contained in this TR1 notification corrects this error and
   restates the correct percentage figure in respect of the total number of
   voting rights currently held by Franklin Templeton Institutional, LLC.
