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). Indicate in the relevant section whether the
issuer is a non UK issuer.

financial instruments referred to in Article 13(1) of Directive 2004/109/EC
(DTR5.3.1).
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
10 of Directive 2004/109/EC (DTR5.2.1 (b) to (h)), the following list is
provided as indication of the persons who should be mentioned:
- in the circumstances foreseen in letter (b) of Article 10 of that
Directive (DTR5.2.1 (b)), 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 10 of that
Directive (DTR5.2.1 (c)), the natural person or legal entity holding the
collateral, provided the person or entity controls the voting rights and

entity lodging the collateral under these conditions;

Directive (DTR5.2.1 (d)), the natural person or legal entity who has a life

Directive (DTR5.2.1 (e)), the controlling natural person or legal entity

situations, the controlled undertaking;

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 national practices (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 lowest applicable threshold in
accordance with national law, please note that it might not be necessary in
accordance with national law 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.

voting rights is to be presented on a delta-adjusted basis (Article 13(1a)

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 the
cases, in which only on subsidiary level a threshold is crossed or reached
and the subsidiary undertaking discloses the notification as only thus the
markets get always 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.).
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.
