| 3. | Circumstance(s) giving rise to the interest or change in interest | # Others The pension fund ABP (Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP) separated its pension fund from its investment and administrative organisation in 2008. For the investment and administrative organisation a new legal entity, APG Algemene Pensioen Groep N.V. ("APG") was established, eventually 98% owned by ABP and effectively only managing ABP's assets. APG established a multi-client structure to offer other Dutch pension funds ("Clients") the opportunity to benefit from the investment management expertise APG has developed in performing its services, as well as to diversify their portfolio of assets and benefit from economies of scale by pooling their assets with other Clients in several new investment pools. According to the EU Transparency Directive with regards to the notification of substantial shareholding, APG as an asset manager - within the new multi-client structure - has an obligation to report substantial shareholdings as agent / attorney-in-fact for all its Clients on an aggregated basis. Effectively, as from today onwards, assets of ABP and other Clients are managed by APG in this new structure. Notifications of substantial shareholding are therefore made by and on behalf of APG. Future notifications will also be based on the aggregate portfolio of assets managed by APG. APG is 98% owned by ABP. Consequently, ABP will report APG's position as an indirect position. |
