13. Additional information:	On 1st 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 1st 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 1st 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.
