Please note the following important dates in relation to the Sub-Fund closure:
1) The Final Exchange Trading Date shall be 9 May 2023. Investors trading on a Relevant Exchange will not be able to buy or sell Shares after 9 May 2023.
2) The Final Dealing Date shall be 11 May 2023. Applications for subscriptions and redemptions from Authorised Participants in respect of the Final Dealing Date must be received no later than 4:00pm on 10 May 2023 (i.e. the "Dealing Deadline" applicable to the Sub-Fund as prescribed by the Prospectus) otherwise they shall be invalid.
3) The Sub-Fund shall be closed to further subscriptions and redemptions with effect from and including the day immediately following the Final Dealing Date.
4) Any Shares remaining in the Sub-Fund as at 19 May 2023 (the "Compulsory Redemption Date"), shall be compulsorily redeemed on the Compulsory Redemption Date. The investments remaining in the Sub-Fund at the Compulsory Redemption Date will be liquidated for the purposes of the payment distribution to investors on or shortly after the Indicative Settlement Date (as defined below)
5) The Sub-Fund shall be de-listed from the Official List of the FCA with effect from 24 May 2023.
6) The proceeds of the Compulsory Redemption shall be paid on or around 26 May 2023 (the "Indicative Settlement Date") to those persons registered as participants of the relevant settlement system through which the Shares are held.
Please note that as part of the closure process and in the event of significant redemptions in the Sub-Fund following this notice of closure and before the final redemption date, the ability to meet the investment objective of the Sub-Fund may be compromised and there will accordingly be an increased risk of tracking error in the Sub-Fund.
A copy of the notification has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism (NSM) and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism and www.lgimetf.com.
