i This form is to be sent to the issuer or underlying issuer and to
be filed with the competent authority.

ii Either the full name of the legal entity or another method for
identifying the issuer or underlying issuer provided it is reliable and
accurate.

iii This should be the full name of (a) the shareholder; (b) the
person acquiring, disposing of or exercising voting rights in the cases
provided for in DTR5.2.1 (b) to (h); (c) all the parties to the agreement
referred to in DTR5.2.1 (a), or (d) the direct or indirect holder of financial
instruments entitled to acquire shares already issued to which voting rights
are attached, or the direct or indirect holder of financial instruments having
a similar economic effect to qualifying financial instruments, as appropriate.

In relation to the transactions referred to in points DTR5.2.1 (b)
to (h), the following list is provided as indication of the persons who should
be mentioned:

- in the circumstances foreseen in DTR5.2.1 (b), the person 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 DTR 5.2.1 (c), the person
holding the collateral, provided the person or entity controls the voting
rights and declares its intention of exercising them, and person lodging the
collateral under these conditions;

- in the circumstances foreseen in DTR5.2.1(d), the person who has
a life interest in shares if that person is entitled to exercise the voting
rights attached to the shares and the person who is disposing of the voting
rights when the life interest is created;

- in the circumstances foreseen in DTR5.2.1 (e), the parent
undertaking and, provided it has a notification duty at an individual level
under DTR 5.1, under DTR5.2.1 (a) to (d) or under a combination of any of
those situations, the controlled undertaking;

- in the circumstances foreseen in DTR5.2.1 (f), the deposit taker

v The date of the transaction should normally be, in the case of an
on exchange transaction, the date on which the matching of orders occurs; in
the case of an off exchange transaction, the date of entering into an
agreement.

date on which the acquisition, disposal or possibility to exercise voting
rights takes effect (see DTR 5.1.1R (3)). For passive crossings, the date when
the corporate event took effect.

In the case of financial instruments with a similar economic effect
to qualifying financial instruments, the date on which a threshold is reached
or crossed is the date of entering into the agreement. In the case of reaching
or crossing a threshold passively as a result of a change in a delta adjusted
holding or due to a change in the total voting rights of the issuer, the date
should be that when the delta adjustment occurs or the total voting rights
change rather than the date at which the agreement was entered into.

below 3%, please state `below 3%'.

effect to (but not including) qualifying instruments on a delta-adjusted
basis, please provide the expiration date/conversion period as appropriate.
