PESSTO, the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey for Transient Objects (see Smartt et al., arXiv:1411.0299 http://www.pessto.org ),
reports the following supernova classifications. Targets were supplied by Pan-STARRS Survey for Transients (see Huber et. al., ATEL #7153) and the OGLE-IV Real-time Transient Search (Wyrzykowski et al., 2014 arxiv:1409.1095; http://ogle.astrouw.edu.pl/ ).
All observations were performed on the ESO New Technology Telescope at La Silla on 2015 March 28, using EFOSC2 and Grism 13 (3985-9315A, 18A resolution).
Classifications were done with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024) and Superfit (Howell et al. 2005, Ap.J. 634, 1190).
