Notes
(i)
Please note that national forms may vary due to specific
national legislation (Article 3(1a) of Directive 2004/109/EC) as
for instance the 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.
(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

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 declares its intention of exercising them, and
natural person or legal entity lodging the collateral under these
conditions;

that Directive (DTR5.2.1 (d)), the natural person or legal entity

rights when the life interest is created;

that Directive (DTR5.2.1 (e)), the controlling natural person or
legal entity and, provided it has a notification duty at an
individual level under Article 9 (DTR 5.1), under letters (a) to
(d) of Article 10 of that Directive (DTR5.2.1 (a) to (d)) or under
a combination of any of those situations, the controlled
undertaking;
- in the circumstances foreseen in letter (f) of Article 10 of
that Directive (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 letter (g) of Article 10 of

that controls the voting rights;
- in the circumstances foreseen in letter (h) of Article 10 of
that Directive (DTR5.2.1 (h)), the proxy holder, if he can exercise
the voting rights at his discretion, and the shareholder who has

the voting rights at his discretion (e.g. management
companies).
(v)
Applicable in the cases provided for in Article 10 (b) to (h) of
Directive 2004/109/EC (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 in Article 10 of that Directive
(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 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.
(xi)
If the financial instrument has such a period -- please specify
this period -- for example once every 3 months starting from
[date].

In case of cash settled instruments the number and percentages
of voting rights is to be presented on a delta-adjusted basis
(Article 13(1a) of Directive 2004/109/EC) (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 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.
