NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholder,

SSGA SPDR ETFs Europe I plc (the "Company")

SPDR S&P 500 ESG Leaders UCITS ETF (the "Fund")

We are writing to inform you, as a Shareholder in the Company, that the Index Provider for the Fund has amended the Index name following a review of the 'Guidelines on funds' names using ESG or sustainability-related terms' (the "Guidelines") which were published by the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") on 21 August 2024.

In order to meet the Guidelines' requirements, the Index Provider, following consultation, has deemed it appropriate to remove 'ESG' from the Index name.  In line with the Index name change, the Fund's name will also change as outlined in the table below with effect from 10 February 2025 or such later date as the Fund's supplement is noted by the Central Bank (the "Effective Date").

Change to Fund Name and Index Name

Please note that corresponding changes will be made to each unlaunched Class of the Fund, as will be reflected in the revised Fund supplement on the Effective Date.

Should you have any queries, please contact the SPDR ETF Sales and Support team at [email protected].
