Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/761 of 17 December

iv This

(c) the holder of financial instruments referred to in Regulation
17(1) of the Regulations (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
Regulation 15 of the Regulations (Article 10 of Directive
2004/109/EC), the following list is provided as an indication of
the persons who should be mentioned:
- in the circumstances foreseen in letter (b) of
Regulation 15 of the Regulations (Article 10 of Directive
2004/109/EC), 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 the Regulation 15 of the Regulations (Article 10 of
Directive 2004/109/EC), the natural person or legal entity holding
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
Regulation 15 of the Regulations (Article 10 of Directive
2004/109/EC), 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
Regulation 15 of the Regulations (Article 10 of Directive
2004/109/EC), the controlling natural person or legal entity and,
provided it has a notification duty at an individual level under
Regulation 14 of the Regulations (Article 9 of Directive
2004/109/EC), under letters (a) to (d) of Regulation 15 of the
Regulations (Article 10 of Directive 2004/109/EC) or under a
combination of any of those situations, the controlled
undertaking;
- in the circumstances foreseen in letter (f) of
Regulation 15 of the Regulations (Article 10 of Directive
2004/109/EC), 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

Regulation 15 of the Regulations (Article 10 of Directive
2004/109/EC), the natural person or legal entity that controls the

- in the circumstances foreseen in letter (h) of
Regulation 15 of the Regulations (Article 10 of Directive
2004/109/EC), 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 Regulation 15(b) to (h) of the
Regulations (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 Regulation 15
of the Regulations (Article 10 Directive 2004/109/EC) 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 the requirements of the Regulations and
the Transparency Rules.
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 the Regulations and the Transparency Rules
the holder is not obliged to disclose the extent of the holding
only that the holding is "below 3%" or "below 5%" as
appropriate.
ix In
case of combined holdings of shares with voting rights attached
"direct holding" and voting rights "indirect holding", please split
the voting rights number and percentage into the direct and
indirect columns - if there is no combined 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
(Regulation 17(4) of the Regulations/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 cases in which only on subsidiary level a threshold is
crossed or reached and the subsidiary undertaking discloses the
notification, as only thus will the markets get a full picture of
the group holdings. In the 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 irrespective of whether the controlled undertakings cross
or reach the lowest applicable threshold
themselves.
xvi Example:
Correction of a previous notification.
