13. Additional information:  | The 3% threshold was crossed on 17th November 2010 but due to an incorrect Total Voting Rights value held on M&G systems this was not identified until now. With reference to item 3, M&G Investments Funds 3 is an Open Ended Investment Company (OEIC) and is not a Prudential group company and must be separately disclosed. This OEIC Fund is managed by M&G Investment Management Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential plc) and will have been previously attributed to Prudential plc solely on the basis that M&G Investment Management Ltd has direct fund management control over the shares identified in this notification. Therefore the 3.04% holding being disclosed in this notification is encompassed in the 3.04% already disclosed under The Prudential plc group of companies and is NOT in addition to it. 
 The current total position is now 5,424,500 shares representing 3.25% of the voting rights of Kingspan Group.
