The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of directors”) Hereby informs the shareholders of the Funds of certain changes to the Funds as set out below.
Capitalized terms not defined herein will have the meanings given to them in the most recent version of the Company’s prospectus (the “Prospectus“), Unless the context otherwise requires.
The average of the Euro Over Night index (“EONIA”), the European Money Markets Institute, has announced that it will cease publishing the EONIA on January 3, 2022. The European Central Bank’s Euro Risk-Free Rates Working Group has recommended that the short-term rate of the euro (“€ STR») Replaces Eonia as the risk-free rate for the euro.
Currently, the level of each benchmark index is linked to the daily performance of an underlying index (as shown in the table below) plus or minus an interest rate (depending on the benchmark) which is based on EONIA as the benchmark rate.
Following the aforementioned decommissioning of EONIA, the Index Administrator of the Benchmark Index of each Sub-Fund (as indicated in the table below) will replace the EONIA with € STR flat (c (i.e. no additional spread) in the Benchmark Index methodology. Index of each Sub-Fund in force on November 8, 2021:

For the avoidance of doubt, the replacement of the EONIA by the fixed € STR as the benchmark rate does not constitute a material change for the Benchmark Index of each Sub-Fund. The Benchmark Index of each Sub-Fund will continue to provide the same leveraged and / or short exposures to the relevant equity index and will always have an overnight refinancing rate.
For the avoidance of doubt, the names, investment objectives, risk profiles and fees of the Sub-funds will remain unchanged.
