Reporting Requirements
Pursuant to Royal Decree 1362/2007, any individual or legal entity that, by whatever means, acquires or transfers shares with voting rights in a company for which Spain is listed as the Country of Origin (Estado Miembro) (as defined therein) and which is listed on an official secondary securities market or other regulated market in the European Union must notify the issuer and the CNMV, if, as a result of such transaction, the proportion of voting rights held by that individual or legal entity reaches, exceeds or thereafter falls below a 3% threshold of that company’s total voting rights. The notification obligations are also triggered at thresholds of 5% and multiples thereof (excluding 55%, 65%, 85%, 95% and 100%).

The individual or legal entity obliged to provide the notification must serve the notification by means of the form approved by the CNMV from time to time for such purpose, within four business days from the date on which the transaction is acknowledged. Royal Decree 1362/2007 deems that a transaction is “acknowledged” within two business days from the date on which such transaction is entered into.
The reporting requirements apply not only to the purchase or transfer of voting shares, but also to those transactions in which, without a purchase or transfer, the proportion of voting rights of an individual or legal entity reaches, exceeds or thereafter falls below the threshold that triggers the obligation to report as a consequence of a change in the total number of voting rights of a company on the basis of the information reported to the CNMV and disclosed by such individual or legal entity.
Regardless of the actual ownership of the voting shares, any individual or legal entity with a right to acquire, transfer or exercise voting rights of the shares, and any individual or legal entity that owns, acquires or transfers, whether directly
