13. Additional information: | Kiltearn Partners LLP ("Kiltearn") acts as an investment manager for the clients detailed in question 4 above (our "Clients"). In acting for our Clients, Kiltearn are given full discretion over their investments. However, we do not act as our Client's custodian and therefore shares are not held in our name but in the name of each Client's custodian bank.
The increase in holdings of Carillion PLC was a result of a new investor contributing US$100 million to a transition account in the Kiltearn Global Equity Fund ("US Fund"). A transition account is a separate sub-account within the US Fund's general legal structure. The transition account structure allows Kiltearn to invest cash contributions outside the US Fund's direct assets (and therefore minimizing market impact and liquidity risk from artificially high cash levels being passed to existing investors).
In this instance, as is the case for all transition accounts, the cash contributed by the Investor into the transition account was used to purchase securities that substantially replicated the weighting of the same securities held in the US Fund's main portfolio. As a result, Kiltearn caused the transition account to purchase an additional 347,448 shares in Carillion PLC.
