We are writing to inform you, as a Shareholder in the Company, that the Index Provider for the Funds has amended the Index names 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 names.  In line with the Index name changes, the Funds names will also change as outlined in the table below with effect from 10 February 2025 or such later date as the Funds supplements are noted by the Central Bank (the "Effective Date").
