PESSTO, the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey for Transient Objects (see Valenti et al., ATel #4037; http://www.pessto.org ), reports the following supernova classifications. Targets were supplied by the La Silla-Quest survey (see Hadjiyska et al., ATel #3812) and the OGLE-IV Transient Search (see Wyrzykowski et al. ATEL #4495). All observations were performed on the ESO New Technology Telescope at La Silla on 2013 January 1st, using EFOSC2 and Grism 13 (3985-9315A, 18A resolution). Classifications were done with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024) and GELATO (Harutyunyan et al., 2008, A&A, 488, 383). Classification spectra can be obtained from http://www.pessto.org (via WISeREP).

(*) Days since explosion, based on the OGLE-IV light curve. This object shows narrow and broad H-alpha components (FWHM = 5000 km/s).
(**) See also ATel #4693. The narrow component of the H-alpha line shows a relatively large FHWM of 2800 km/s. A broad feature at 6100 AA (FWHM = 6600 km/s) is tentatively identified as He I 5876.
