investment manager for the clients detailed in Question 4 above
(our “Clients”). In acting for our Clients, Silchester are given full
discretion over their investments and are empowered to vote on
their behalf. However, we do not act as our Clients’ custodian and
therefore shares are not held in our name but in the name of each
Client’s custodian bank.
The increase in Silchester’s holdings was due to a series of
transactions over a series of different trading days. Details of the
number of shares held before the change (shown in Section A
‘Situation previous to the Triggering transaction’ above), represent
the shares held by Silchester’s clients as of the date of our last
Notice of Substantial Shareholder’s Interest and not as of the last
trading day before which this disclosure level was triggered.
Notification is provided based on the total voting rights figure of
1,401,852,470.
