11. Additional informationxvi

Chase Nominees Limited announces that J.P. Morgan Trustee & Administration Services Limited no longer has a notifiable interest in 9,402,163 Ordinary shares. These shares are held on behalf of participants in the JPMorgan investment trust savings products. J.P. Morgan Trustee & Administration Services Limited had a notifiable interest in these shares because, in certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations agreed with the Takeover Panel to ensure compliance with the Takeover Code, JPMorgan is entitled to exercise the voting rights attached to the Ordinary shares if the relevant plan participants do not do so.

 

JPMorgan was entitled to exercise the voting rights attached to these Ordinary shares, as these shares had not been voted by the participants in the JPMorgan investment trust savings products in respect of the Company's 2019 Annual General Meeting held on Wednesday 10th July 2019. This entitlement has now ceased following the conclusion of the Company's 2019 Annual General Meeting.
