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), the OGLE-IV Transient Search (see Wyrzykowski et al., ATEL #4495) the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey (http://crts.caltech.edu/) All observations were performed on the ESO New Technology Telescope at La Silla on 2013 August 14 (UT), 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 (Yaron & Gal-Yam, 2012, PASP, 124, 668).

(1)Young Type II, featureless blue continuum and shallow Halpha P-Cygni profile.

(2) Young SN II around 1-2 week post explosion. According with LSQ magnitudes the peak is fainter than the average of Type II.

(3) Young type II around 1-2 week post explosion. Long rise time.

(4) According with OGLE photometry the peak luminosity is higher than the average of Type II.
