ePESSTO, the extended Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey for Transient Objects (see Smartt et al. 2015, A&A, 579, 40 http://www.pessto.org ), reports the following supernova classifications. Targets were supplied by the All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae ASAS-SN (see Shappee et al. 2014, ApJ, 788, 48 and http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/~assassin/index.shtml ), the ATLAS survey, see Tonry et al. (2011, PASP, 123, 58) and Tonry et al. (ATel #8680), Pan-STARRS Survey for Transients (see Chambers et al. 2016, arXiv:1612.05560, and http://pswww.ifa.hawaii.edu ) and the ESA Gaia Photometric Science Alerts Team and DPAC (http://gsaweb.ast.cam.ac.uk/alerts). All observations were performed on the ESO New Technology Telescope at La Silla on 2017 April 27, using EFOSC2 and Grism 13 (3985-9315A, 18A resolution). The classifications were done with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024). The classification spectra and additional details can be obtained from http://www.pessto.org (via WISeREP) and the IAU Transient Name Server.

(1) Highly reddened SN. The spectrum shows strong Na I absorption lines at the redshift of the host.
(2) We acknowledge the contribution of Zooniverse Citizen Scientists 'Jose_Campos', 'Astro_Denny' and 'nilium'.
(3) Narrow emission lines at the redshift of the host galaxy. This object is offset 21" from UGC 10213 at a distance of 70Mpc, with M_r ~ -14
(4) We acknowledge the contribution of Zooniverse Citizen Scientists 'peterfoele', 'nilium' and 'romist'.
