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 Baltay et al., PASP, 2013, 125, 683) and the OGLE-IV wide field survey (http://ogle.astrouw.edu.pl/ogle4/transients/transients.html). All observations were performed on the ESO New Technology Telescope at La Silla in the night starting on 2014 Aug 17 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).

(1) Noisy spectrum, with P-Cygni H clearly visible; The subtype IIP has been determined using the LSQ light curve information.
(2) Best match with several normal Ia SNe but even with peculiar Ia SN 2006gz.
(3) Low S/N spectrum. Possible match with a type IIn with a tentative redshift of z=0.28.
(4) Low S/N spectrum. Possible match with a type Ic around maximum. Adopting tentatively a redshift z=0.18, an absolute mag of M_i ~ -20 is obtained from the OGLE-IV data.
