  13. Additional information:             On 1(st) April 2013, Sanderson Asset 
                                          Management Ltd ("SAM Ltd") transferred 
                                          its regulated business to Sanderson 
                                          Asset Management LLP ("SAM LLP"). 
                                          On the same day, SAM Ltd changed its 
                                          name to Sanderson Partners Ltd. All 
                                          employees of SAM Ltd, including all 
                                          portfolio managers, investment analysts 
                                          and members of its administration 
                                          and operations team, became partners 
                                          or employees of SAM LLP. As of 1(st) 
                                          April 2013, SAM Ltd does not exercise 
                                          any control over the company's shares. 
                                          This notification was therefore triggered 
                                          by the change in the legal structure 
                                          of the investment management firm 
                                          on 1(st) April 2013, rather than trading 
                                          activity in the underlying shares. 
 
                                          SAM Ltd was the investment manager 
                                          for its clients ("Clients"). In acting 
                                          for the Clients, SAM Ltd was given 
                                          full discretion over their investments 
                                          and was empowered to vote on their 
                                          behalf. However, SAM Ltd did not act 
                                          as the Clients' custodian and therefore 
                                          shares were not held in SAM Ltd's 
                                          name but in the name of each Client's 
                                          custodian bank.
