The board of directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors") hereby informs the shareholders of the Sub-Fund (the "Shareholders") that STOXX Limited (“STOXX”), in its capacity as index administrator of the reference index of the Sub-Fund (the “Index Administrator”), announced on 30 September 2024 that it is introducing certain changes as detailed below (the “Changes”).

Capitalised terms used in this notice shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the latest version of the prospectus of the Company (the “Prospectus”) unless the context otherwise requires.

The Sub-Fund tracks the performance of the DAX ESG Screened Index (the “Reference Index”).

  1. Overview of the Changes

The following additional exclusion criteria will be added to the existing Environmental, Social and Governance exclusion criteria (together, the “ESG Exclusion Criteria”):

  • companies that breach certain revenue thresholds in coal expansion, oil fuels, gaseous fuels, and power generation.

The ESG Exclusion Criteria comprise the requirements as laid out in Article 12(1)(a) to (g) of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1818 (“PAB Exclusions”).

The Changes will be applied at the scheduled STOXX ordinary index review on 23 December 2024 (the “Effective Date”).

For the avoidance of doubt, the Sub-Fund’s investment objective, investment policy, risk profile and fees remain unchanged.
