With effect from 6 April 2022 (the "Effective Date") subscriptions and redemption requests for these Funds will be through cash dealing only. The in-kind dealing options currently available to investors will be removed from the Effective Date.

This change will be reflected in updated  Supplements for the share classes of the above mentioned Funds which will be noted by the Central Bank in due course.  All other dealing provisions contained in the Prospectus and Supplements will continue to apply  - including the Management Company's ability to provide a redemption in kind in cases where a Shareholder requests redemption of Shares in a Fund representing 5% or more of the Net Asset Value.
