CGII is the parent company of five companies that serve as investment managers to various institutional clients around the globe; CGTC in the U.S., CII in the U.S. and Singapore, CIL in the UK, and CISA in Switzerland.

The shares reported in this Notification are owned by accounts under the discretionary investment management of one or more of the investment management companies described above. Furthermore, CRMC and CGII act separately from one another and from CGC in exercising investment discretion over their managed accounts. The discretionary investment management entitles CGC’s management companies to exercise voting rights autonomously and this Notification is therefore an “Independent Notification according to the Disclosure Office Notice Nr. II/99”. Investment funds
