11. Additional information(xvi)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The form is being filed as a late notification of the
crossing of the 4% threshold on 19 September 2017. The
information in the body of this form relates to the
crossing of the 4% threshold only.
There was a prior crossing of the 3% threshold on 8(th)
September 2017 that in error was not notified. The details
of the prior crossing of the 3% threshold are as follows:
On 8(th) September 2017, as a result of purchasing additional
economic interests via a total return swap, the 3% threshold
was crossed. The resulting position at 8(th) September
2017 was a total economic interest equivalent to ownership
of 3.08% or 4,573,128 voting rights, all of which was
in total return swaps. A timely notification was not
made in error due to a misunderstanding regarding the
filing requirements around purely synthetic positions,
which we mistakenly believed were not in the scope of
the regulations.
The late notification of the crossing of the 4% threshold
also arises as a result of the same mistaken belief.
The shareholder identified in Section 4 of this form
is the shareholder of record for the shares physically
owned and identified in Section 8A.
