Silchester International Investors LLP ("Silchester") acts as investment manager for certain commingled

funds (our "Clients"). In acting for our Clients, Silchester is given full discretion over their investments and

is empowered to vote on their behalf. However, we do not act as our Clients' custodian and therefore

shares are not held in our name but in the name of each Client's custodian bank. The change in

Silchetser's holdings was due to a series of transactions over a series of different trading days.
