13. Additional information:

This is a correction to a previously filed disclosure for trade date 8th December 2015. The reason for the amendment is due to an internal system change to remove non-reportable activity which we have identified as being inadvertently included in our disclosure calculation for this issuer. After removal of this activity the correct disclosable position remains above the 3% threshold.

Please note, total amount of voting rights have been rounded to 2 decimal places therefore there is a possibility of a rounding error.
