13. Additional information: 
On 1st November 2010, Silchester International Investors Limited ("Silchester 
Limited") transferred its regulated business to Silchester International 
Investors LLP ("Silchester LLP").  On the same day, Silchester Limited changed 
its name to Silchester Partners Limited.  All employees of Silchester Limited, 
including all portfolio managers, investment analysts and members of its 
administration and operations teams, became partners or employees of Silchester 
LLP.  Silchester LLP acts as investment manager for the clients detailed in 
Question 4 above (the "Clients").  In acting for the Clients, Silchester  LLP is 
given full discretion over their investments and are empowered to vote on their 
behalf.  However, Silchester LLP does not act as the Clients' custodian and 
therefore shares are not held in Silchester LLP's name but in the name of each 
Client's custodian bank.  This notification was therefore triggered by the 
change in the legal structure of the investment management firm on 1st November 
2010 rather than trading activity in the underlying shares.
