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 Fullnameofthelegalentityandfurtherspecificationoftheissuerorunderlyingissuer,provideditisreliableandaccurate(e.g. address, LEI, domestic number identity).

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 Article 9 (b) to (h) ofthe Transparency Law; or (c) the holder offinancial instruments referred to in Article 12(1) of the Transparency Law.

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 9 of the Transparency Law, the following list is provided as indication of the persons who should be mentioned:

  • inthecircumstancesforeseen inletter(b)ofArticle9ofthatLaw,thenaturalpersonorlegalentity thatacquiresthevoting rightsandisentitledtoexercisethemundertheagreementandthenaturalpersonorlegalentitywhoistransferring

This should be the full name of the shareholder who is the counterpartyto the natural person or legal entity referredto in Article 9 ofthatLawunless the percentage of voting rights heldby the shareholder is lower thanthe 5% thresholdfor the disclosure of votingrights holdings (e.g. identificationof 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.

xii In case ofcash settled instruments the number and percentages ofvoting rights is to be presented ona delta-adjusted basis (Article 12(2) of the Transparency Law).

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 also has to be presented in the cases in which only on subsidiary level a threshold is crossed or reached and the subsidiary undertaking discloses the notification as only then the market always gets 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 differentchains(e.g.:A,B,C,free row,A,B, D,freerow,A,E,Fetc.).
