Notes

 

i Please note this form should be read jointly with the applicable Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules Chapter
5 (DTR5) available on the following link:
https://www.handbook.fca.org.uk/handbook/DTR/5/?view=chapter
(http://www.handbook.fca.org.uk/handbook/DTR/5/?view=chapter)

 

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.

 

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 DTR5.2.1 (b) to (h); (c) all parties to the
agreement referred to in DTR5.2.1 (a) or (d) the holder of financial
instruments referred to in 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 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 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 DTR5.2.1 (c), 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 DTR5.2.1 (d), 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 DTR5.2.1 (e), the controlling natural
person or legal entity and, provided it has
a notification duty at an individual level under DTR 5.1, under DTR5.2.1 (a) to (d) or under a combination of any of
those situations, the controlled undertaking;

 

-
in the circumstances foreseen in DTR5.2.1 (f), 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 DTR5.2.1 (g), the natural person or
legal entity that controls the voting rights;

 

-  in the circumstances foreseen in DTR5.2.1 (h), 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 DTR5.2.1 (b) to (h). This should be the full name of the shareholder who is the
counterparty to the natural person or legal entity referred to DTR5.2 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 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 held in the issuer 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, please note that it might not be 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 (DTR 5.3.3.A).

 

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 the
cases, in which only on subsidiary level a threshold is crossed or reached and
the subsidiary
undertaking discloses the notification as only in this way will 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 by numbering each chain accordingly. Please see the below example:

Name of ultimate controlling person A (chain 1)

Name of controlled undertaking B Name of controlled undertaking C

Name of ultimate controlling person A (chain 2)

Name of controlled undertaking B Name of controlled undertaking D

Name of ultimate controlling person A (chain3)

Name of controlled undertaking E Name of controlled undertaking F

 

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.
