IMPORTANT NOTICE TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF:

Xtrackers LPX Private Equity Swap UCITS ETF (ISIN: LU0322250712)

(the "Sub-Fund")

16 January 2023

In accordance with Article 21 of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) has decided to proceed with a split of the shares (a “Share Split”) of a certain share class of the Sub-Fund (the “Relevant Share Class”) as set out in the following table:

Capitalised terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the most recent version of the prospectus of the Company (the “Prospectus”), unless the context otherwise requires.

The Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per Share in relation to the Relevant Share Class will be divided by applying a “Share Split Factor” which shall be decided shortly before the Effective Date. As a result, following the Share Split, the shareholder will hold a greater number of shares. For every one share held by a shareholder in the Relevant Share Class prior to the Share Split, the greater number of shares post Share Split (the “Relevant Number of Shares”) will be communicated to shareholders shortly before the Effective Date further to the below.

The Share Split will lead to a change in the number of shares a shareholder holds in the Relevant Share Class but will be without any impact on the value of the shareholder’s holding in the Company. As of the day of the Share Split, the amount of investment in the Relevant Share Class will be expressed by a greater amount of shares. Where a Sub-Fund has more than one share class, the proportionate number of votes that a shareholder holds in each share class of the Sub-Fund (both a Relevant Share Class and a share class not subject to the Share Split) in relation to the votes across all share classes may be impacted by the share split.

The Share Split and simultaneous NAV division aims to reduce the NAV per Share of the Relevant Share Class in order to increase accessibility of the shares to wider segments of the market, in particular for retail investors.

The aforementioned NAV division and simultaneous Share Split will be carried out on a date between 20 February 2023 and 20 May 2023 (the “Effective Date”). A notice will be published on the website of the Company, www.Xtrackers.com, on or around the Effective Date confirming the implementation of the above and including the Share Split Factor and Relevant Number of Shares for the Relevant Share Class.

Fees or costs incurred by the Share Split will be borne by the Management Company.

General Information

This notice is for information purposes only. Shareholders are not required to take any action.

Shareholders who subscribe for Shares in the Sub-Fund on the primary market and who do not agree with the Share Split, are entitled to redeem their Shares in the Sub-Fund in accordance with the Prospectus. Such redemptions shall be free of any Redemption Charge from the date of this notice until 5.00 p.m. (Luxembourg time) on 15 February 2023. Please note that the Company does not charge any redemption fee for the sale of Shares in the secondary market. Orders to sell Shares through a stock exchange can be placed via an authorised intermediary or stockbroker.
