The interest in 9.986% of shares in the issuer is acquired through swap contracts between the Fund, UBS and Credit Suisse (as prime brokers). Interests in 2.118% of the shares are held through a voting rights agreement identified in paragraph C above.
The voting rights agreement provides that the Investment Manager is entitled to exercise all voting rights (in accordance with DTR 5.2.1R (h)), although it is not permitted to acquire any shares. We note the definition of qualifying financial instruments in the FSA Handbook which the voting rights agreement does not strictly fall within, however, pursuant to DTR 5.1.2 R a notification is required and the exemptions provided in DTR 5.1.3R do not apply. Accordingly, for the purpose of this disclosure the voting rights agreement has been treated as a financial instrument with similar economic effect. | |
