10. In case of proxy voting: [name of the proxy holder] will cease to hold [number] voting rights as of [date].

   11.       Additional information: 

Regarding section 8 above:

aa)

The notified holdings have to be indicated as either "direct holdings" or "indirect holdings".

Allianz Global Investors GmbH is a German investment management company. Its core business is the establishment and portfolio management of investment funds domiciled in Germany and Luxembourg, but also e.g. in Italy and France. Allianz Global Investors GmbH is entitled to execute the voting rights by proxy (since the foundation of the funds). Additionally, Allianz Global Investors GmbH is mandated in several cases to manage individual asset portfolios for clients on a contractual basis; under such contracts Allianz Global Investors GmbH is entitled to execute the voting rights of shares held in such asset portfolios.

For the purpose of section 8. of this Form TR-1 we have considered holdings in investment funds which do not have a legal personality, but are mere pools of assets, for which Allianz Global Investors GmbH acts in its own name, but for the account of the fund, as direct holdings. The units of such investment funds are jointly owned by their investors, but the funds are legally represented by Allianz Global Investors GmbH as the funds' investment manager.

Holdings in funds managed by Allianz Global Investors GmbH which are legal persons of their own (e.g. Luxembourgish SICAV) as well as holdings in above-mentioned portfolio mandates (including fund mandates, under which Allianz Global Investors GmbH is the portfolio manager of funds established by other investment companies) we considered as indirect holdings with respect to the fact that the proxy was granted on a contractual basis.

bb)

With reference to the situation previous to the triggering transaction, the "Number of Shares" has to be indicated. For this notification, we have - in parallel to the "Number of Voting rights" indicated the total number of directly and indirectly held shares as disclosed in our notification for 07 October 2015 submitted on 09 October 2015.

cc)

The percentages of voting rights have to be indicated. For the purpose of clarity of the "Subtotal A" as well as "Total A+B", we have indicated unrounded figures with three decimal places as the indication of "Subtotal A" as well as "Total A+B" with only two decimal places would have been 5.00% and might be regarded as misleading.

Done at Frankfurt am Main, Germany, on 12 November 2015.
