| The notification was triggered due to a combination of disposal of shares with voting rights and disposal of instruments which resulted in the combined holding of Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc (MSIP) and Morgan Stanley Europe SE (MSESE) dropping below 5%. As a result, MSIP and MSESE have applied the trading book exemption to their combined remaining holding of 4.85% as of 25th June 2020. |
