Such redemptions will be free of redemption charge up to the Last Trading Date but taking into account actual realization prices of investments and realization expenses.

 

Following the liquidation of the Sub-Fund, the liquidation proceeds will be distributed to the remaining shareholders proportionnally to the number of Shares held by each shareholder prior to the liquidation.

Please note that the Company does not charge any redemption charge (the “Redemption Charge”) for the sale of Shares in the secondary market. However, shareholders should note that orders in the secondary market may incur costs over which the Company has no control and to which the above disapplication of the Redemption Charge does not apply.

 

3.       Tax

 

Shareholders of the Sub-Fund should be aware that the liquidation, redemption or exchange of Shares may have tax consequences. Shareholders should consult their own professional advisers as to the specific tax implications of the termination under the laws of the countries of their nationality, residence, domicile or incorporation. If any of the above is not clear you should seek advice from your stockbroker, bank manager, legal adviser, accountant or other independent financial advisor.

 

4.       General information

 

Liquidation proceeds which may not be distributed to their beneficiaries upon the implementation of the redemption will be deposited with the Caisse de Consignation (the Luxembourg public trust office) on behalf of the persons entitled thereto as soon as possible after the payment date. Should you require further information as to the action you should take, please contact your final advisor.

 

From the date of this letter up to and including the Liquidation Date (the “Liquidation Period”), OSSIAM will seek to continue to manage the Fund in accordance with its investment objective and policy and in accordance with the UCITS rules as they apply in Luxembourg. However, in seeking to terminate the Fund in shareholders’ best interests the Fund may not always be compliant with its investment objective and policy or with the UCITS rules during the Liquidation Period.

 

Shareholders are also informed that the next Prospectus will take into account the liquidation of the Sub- Fund.

 

Shareholders are informed that, by derogation of the provisions contained in the Prospectus in the Chapter entitled “Charges and Expenses”, the liquidation expenses shall not be borne by the shareholders of the Sub-Fund but will be borne by OSSIAM, acting as management company of the Company.

 

Any further information in relation to the termination of the Sub-Fund may be obtained by sending an email to info@ossiam.com.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

The Board of directors of Ossiam Lux
