There was an error in the 'Holding(s) in Company' announcement released on 22 December 2015 at 10:10 under RNS No 8627J. The previous announcement was released in accordance with UK Transparency Law, rather than Luxembourg Transparency Law which the Fund is required to comply with. Fields 5 and 6 have been amended to reflect the date of the transaction when the threshold of 10%, based on total shares in issue (to include treasury shares in accordance with Luxembourg Transparency law), was crossed. Fields 7 and 8 have been amended in order to reflect the point at which Wells Capital Management, Inc's shareholding exceeded the 10% trigger in accordance with Luxembourg Transparency law.
