The interests above comprise direct and indirect holdings. Indirect beneficial interests may include shares held by trusts or settlements where more than one Director, or person(s) connected to such Directors, may be members of a class of beneficiaries. In such instances, all shares held by the trust or settlement concerned are included in the total beneficial interests of the relevant Directors and will therefore be disclosed more than once. Non-beneficial interests similarly may include shares held by entities where more than one Director has significant influence, for example as a Trustee. In such instances all of the shares held by the entity concerned will be included in the non-beneficial interests of each of the relevant Directors and therefore will also be disclosed more than once.
