Special Situations Fund as of 20 September 2024. Klaus Umek / Petrus
Advisers Ltd. can only issue recommendations on the exercise of the voting

The 1,071,678 voting rights from shares notified under section 7.A

Advisers Ltd. based on voting proxies granted by natural persons and are
therefore not reflected under section 8.
