(each a "Series" and together, the "Relevant Series")

 

The Issuer hereby gives notice of certain upcoming modifications to the Investment Strategies of the Relevant Series, as further detailed below.

In addition to the above adjustments, which will apply to all the Relevant Series, the Issuer hereby gives notice of the increase to the inverse leverage factor from -3x to -5x in respect of the Inverse Series only (the "Leverage Factor Increase").

 

The Investment Strategy Amendment will allow the Relevant Series to meet the listing requirements of Euronext Milan. Currently, providing sole exposure to the Reference Assets of the Relevant Series does not meet the eligibility requirements for listing on Euronext Milan. As such, following the implementation of the Investment Strategy Amendment, Naming Modifications and Leverage Factor Increase (collectively referred to herein as the "Modifications"), it is intended to list the Relevant Series on Euronext Milan. The listing of the Relevant Series on Euronext Milan shall be notified, to ETP Securityholders, in advance.

 

The Modifications shall be effective as at 17 September 2024.

 

Capitalised terms used, but not defined, in this notice shall have the meaning given thereto in the Master Definitions Schedule in relation to the Programme dated 17 July 2024.
