2.35% voting rights) and Growth Equity Opportunities

in concert for the purposes of DTR 5.2.1R(a), consequently

Overall, there has been no increase or decrease from
the 9 to 10% voting right threshold that was reported
in the previous TR-1 filing of 8 May 2017. However,
as explained in this Section 11 there have been changes
in the breakdown of how the voting rights are held.
It is on this basis that this TR-1 has been completed.
