11. Additional informationxvi

The reason for this notification is twofold.

 

First, further to the issuer's announcement on 1 November 2018, the total number of the issuer's common shares has been reduced from 850,563,255 to 750,000,000 common shares. Although neither Lancaster Trustees Limited, as trustee of the Verona Trust ("Lancaster Trustees") nor any of its controlled undertakings participated in the issuer's recent public offer, this has resulted in: (i) the percentage of voting rights of the issuer held by Lancaster Trustees increasing from 13.327% to 15.114%; (ii) the percentage of voting rights of the issuer held by Vela Fund Ltd. increasing from 13.327% to 15.114%; and (iii) the percentage of voting rights of the issuer held by Morcell Limited increasing from 9.169% to 10.398%.

 

Secondly, this notification corrects a previous notification on Form TR-1 submitted to the issuer on behalf of Mr Vagit Alekperov and published on 12 May 2008 (the "Previous TR-1") by which the issuer was notified that Mr. Alekperov had, at that time, a notifiable interest in the voting rights of the issuer in excess of 20% and held these voting rights directly. A substantial portion of the voting rights referred to in the Previous TR-1 are (and were, at the time of the Previous TR-1) held in discretionary trusts of which Mr. Alekperov and his family were beneficiaries. This notification shows the notifiable interest in the voting rights of the issuer held, at this time, by Lancaster Trustees. The Verona Trust is a discretionary trust of which Mr. Alekperov and his family are the sole beneficiaries.

 

We understand the issuer will be issuing an announcement on or about the date of this notification clarifying the interests of Mr. Alekperov in the issuer.
