The present form does not provide for a specific method how to notify cases of acting in concert referred to in section 30(1)(aa) of the Law, as the disclosure of cases of acting in concert may vary due to the specific circumstances (e.g. same or different total positions of the parties, entering or exiting of acting in concert by a single party to the agreement).
In relation to the transactions referred to in section 30(1)(bb)-(hh) of the Law, the following list is provided as indication of the persons who should be mentioned:
- in the circumstances foreseen in section 30(1)(bb) of the Law, the natural person or legal entity that acquires the voting rights and is entitled to exercise them under the agreement, and the natural person or legal entity who is transferring temporarily for consideration the voting rights∙

vi The date on which the threshold is crossed is the date on which the acquisition or disposal took place or the other reason triggered the notification obligation. For passive crossings of thresholds, the relevant date is when the event, which led to the change in the breakdown of voting rights, took effect.

xiv In case of cash settled financial instruments the number and percentages (%) of voting rights is to be presented on a «delta-adjusted basis» (section 31(2) of the Law).

xvi The full chain of controlled undertakings starting with the ultimate controlling natural person or legal entity has to be presented also in the cases, in which only on subsidiary level a threshold is crossed or reached and the subsidiary undertaking discloses the notification as only thus the markets get always the full picture of the group holdings.
