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 exercising voting rights in the
cases provided for in DTR5.2.1 (b) to (h)/ Article 10 (b) to (h) of Directive

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;
- in the circumstances foreseen in letter (d) of Article 10 of that Directive
(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 letter (e) of Article 10 of 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 Directive
(DTR5.2.1 (g)), the natural person or legal entity that controls the voting

(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 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].

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.
