GS vs GS EXT?

Quick question - what is the difference between GS (Glide Slope) vs GS EXT (Glide Slope Extended)?

 

The manual doesn't differentiate between the two.

When following the ILS, after passing the Middle Marker, the computer adjusts automatically its gain to compensate for the narrowing of the glide path beam, changing the flight director system from GS mode to GS EXT (glide path extension) mode and illuminating the GS EXT indicator. The indications of the flight director's bars continue presenting the maneuver to be made in a normalized way.
