Luxembourg, 5 July 2017

Dear Shareholder,

Please be informed that following the opinion of the European Securities and Markets Authority (“ESMA”) dated 30 January 2017 on share classes of UCITS (the “Opinion”) and the endorsement of the Opinion by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (“CSSF”) via its press release 17/06, hedging arrangements at the share class level are not compatible with the requirement for sub-funds to have a common investment objective. The Opinion further provides that existing share classes with embedded hedging arrangements (“Hedged Share Classes”) should be allowed to continue to operate but should be closed for investment by new investors as of 30 July 2017 and for additional investment by existing investors as of 30 July 2018.

The Share Classes qualify as Hedged Share Classes under the Opinion and will be allowed to continue to operate but will be closed for investment by new investors as of 30 July 2017 and for investments by existing Shareholders as of 30 July 2018.
