-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OppenheimerFunds, Inc. ("OFI") is a registered
investment advisor with the U.S. SEC. Its ultimate
parent company, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance
Company, qualifies for disaggregation under FSA
regulations. The shares of the issuer are held
by investment accounts managed by OFI. The Oppenheimer
Global Fund, an investment account managed by OFI,
holds greater than the 5% of the issuer's voting
rights (a notifiable threshold) and is thereby
disclosed in Section 9 above. OFI last disclosed,
in aggregate, a position of 18.41% as of 15 July
2016 and since subscribed for 22,750,000 Placing
Shares. Since the admission and settlement of Earthport
Plc's Placing Shares on 24 October 2017, OFI's
aggregate % of voting rights decreased by more
than 1% to 14.42%. The decrease is due to the change
in categorization of certain OFI accounts where
OFI does not have discretion over voting rights
for those funds/accounts. OFI continues to have
investment discretion over 18.20% of the issuer's
outstanding shares.
