Notes (other relevant informations according to law)

Baillie Gifford & Co (BG & Co) and Baillie Gifford Overseas Limited (BGO) are investment managers acting under discretionary management for their clients. The shares detailed in the attached notification are owned by the clients of BG & Co or BGO and held by the clients' custodians, normally in a nominee account. The shares are not held in life or endowment insurance and the clients have given the right to vote to BG & Co and BGO as shown in the notification. The voting rights are therefore indirectly held.
