   In reference to section 9, the shares detailed are managed by the named

   whereby the client has delegated the exercise of the voting power to 
   the referenced investment manager. 
 
   This disclosure is to reflect the fact that the voting rights effectively 
   held indirectly by the underlying intermediate holding company Standard 
   Life Investments (Holdings) Limited ("SLIHL") and held by the underlying 
   investment management entity Standard Life Investments Limited ("SLIL") 
   increased above the 11% notifiable threshold due to an acquisition of 
   voting rights on 15 October 2020. SLIHL now effectively holds and SLIL 
   now holds 11.02% of the delegated voting rights in discoverIE Group plc.
