Notes
iPlease 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.
iiFull 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 le-
gal 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 le-
gal 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 le-
gal 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), un-
74522412v1 4
der letters (a) to (d) of Article 10 of that Directive (DTR5.2.1 (a) to (d)) or under a combination of any of those sit-
uations, 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 le-
gal 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).
vApplicable 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).
viThe 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.
ixIn case of combined holdings of shares with voting rights attached "direct holding" and voting rights "indirect hold-
ing", please split the voting rights number and percentage into the direct and indirect columns – if there is no com-
bined 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.
xiIf 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.
