client holds more than 5% of voting rights. In acting for our
Clients, Silchester is given full discretion over their investments
and is empowered to vote on their behalf. However, we do not act as
our Clients' custodian and therefore shares are not held in our
name but in the name of each Client's custodian bank. The change in
Silchester's holdings was due to a series of transactions over a
series of different trading days.
