Remarks
MFS regrets the delay in the submission of this notification. The delay was the result of an internal error that did not include participating shares in the denominator for the purposes of calculating their holding in D'Ieteren at the relevant time. Having recently corrected this internal error, they have determined that their holdings fell below 5% on 21 April 2016. For completeness, the notification submitted by MFS dated 17 June 2014 indicating that their holdings exceeded the 5% threshold was based on the correct denominator which included participating shares.
