Horizon Asset Management and Kinetics have a contractual relationship; whereby, Kinetics is purchasing
research services from Horizon Asset Management. Horizon Asset Management and Kinetics are separate and
independent companies, with different shareholders and directors, for the most part. However, since
Horizon Asset Management and Kinetics derive investment research from a common source, i.e., the Horizon
Research Group, a division of Horizon Asset Management, Inc. and because of certain shared personnel and
office space, the Panel Executive has deemed Horizon Asset Management and Kinetics Asset Management to
be a single person for the purposes of Rule 8.3 (b) of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers. For US
regulatory purposes, Horizon Asset Management and Kinetics are two separate and distinct companies.
A total amount of 2,407 shares of London Stock Exchange PLC are no longer under the voting control of
Kinetics/Horizon Asset Management due to a journal transfer. Amount is reflected in the total amount of
shares reported.
