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 
2004/109/EC; (c) all parties to the agreement referred to in Article 10 (a) of 
Directive 2004/109/EC (DTR5.2.1 (a)) or (d) the holder of financial 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; 
 
- 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 
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 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]. 
 
[xii] 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.
