Additional information:

Aktia Fund Management Company Ltd represents Aktia's investment funds in its own
name. Since investment funds are not independent legal entities, the Fund
Management Company submits flagging notifications on behalf of the funds.

The Fund Management Company exercises voting rights in relation to companies in
which the investment funds hold shares, whereby the voting rights attached to
the shares owned by the investment funds are aggregated.

On 4 January 2022, Aktia Bank Plc submitted a notification to the Financial
Supervisory Authority stating that it is not required to aggregate its ownership
and voting rights with those of the investment funds managed by the Fund
Management Company, as the voting rights attached to the shares are exercised
independently of the parent company.
