A person must notify the issuer of the percentage of its voting rights he holds as shareholder or holds or is deemed to hold through his direct or indirect holding of financial instruments falling within DTR 5.3.1R (1) (or a combination of such holdings) if the percentage of those voting rights:
(1) reaches, exceeds or falls below 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10% and each 1% threshold thereafter up to 100%
Client-serving transactions
The exemption referred to in [DTR 5.1.3R(4)] shall apply to financial instruments held by a natural person or legal entity fulfilling orders received from clients, responding to a client’s request to trade otherwise than on a proprietary basis, or hedging positions arising out of such dealings.
The exemption for nominee accounts is simply because they do not have the voting rights, they belong to the client who is required to make the notification when the thresholds are crossed as they increase or decrease their shareholding (voting rights)
