Notice of the delisting of one or more of the Funds. We hereby give you notice that the board of Directors of the Company have determined to delist the Funds from certain exchanges, as outlined in Appendix 1 (the "Delisting") with effect from 2 November 2020 (the "Delisting Date") or any such date as may be determined by the Board and notified in advance to you.  

For each Fund that will be delisted, there will be at least one other listing on another European exchange that will be maintained. Details of the exchanges where listings will be maintained are set out in below under the heading 'Remaining Listings'. No Fund will be closed as a result of the Delisting.

From the date of this letter up to (but excluding) the Delisting Date, you can continue to sell Shares in the Funds on the current exchange venues. Following the Delisting Date, you can continue to hold Shares in the Funds that have been delisted but you will no longer be able to sell those Shares on the exchanges from which they will be delisted. You will be able to sell those Shares on any of the other exchanges on which they remain listed but there may be additional costs associated with using another exchange. In view of the above, Shareholders are strongly advised to consult with their brokers or financial advisors on the options available to them and obtain the necessary advice.

You do not need to take any action in response to this notice and no Shareholder meeting or vote is required. You should consult your broker/advisor to discuss gaining access to alternative exchanges following the Delisting or whether it would be more appropriate for you to sell your holding prior to the Delisting Date.

It should be noted that the Delisting applies to the stated Funds and exchanges only and does not affect shareholdings in any other sub-funds of the Company.

Investors in the Funds are advised to consult their tax advisers regarding the effect of the Delisting in light of their individual circumstances. Should you have any queries, please contact the SPDR ETF Sales and Support team at [email protected] / +44 (0)20 3395 6888 or call your local SPDR ETF representative.
