C: Additional information:

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 Full 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).

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 10 (b) to (h) of Directive

2004/109/EC; or (c) the holder of financial instruments referred to in

Article 13(1) of Directive 2004/109/EC.

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, 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, the natural person or legal 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, the natural person or legal entity hold- ing 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, the natural person or legal 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, the controlling natural person or legal entity and, provided it

has a notification duty at an individual level under Article 9, under

letters (a) to (d) of Article

10 of that Directive or under a combination of any of those situations, the

controlled undertaking;

- in the circumstances foreseen in letter (f) of Article 10 of that

Directive, 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, the natural person or legal entity that controls the voting

rights;

- in the circumstances foreseen in letter (h) of Article 10 of that

Directive, 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).

v Applicable in the cases provided for in Article 10 (b) to (h) of

Directive 2004/109/EC. 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 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).

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.

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.

ix In 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.

xi If 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).

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.
