Dear Shareholder,

The board of directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors") hereby informs the shareholders of the Sub-Funds (the "Shareholders") that MSCI Limited, in its capacity as Index Administrator of the Sub-Funds, announced on 25 February 2026 that certain changes (the “Changes”), as set out below, would be made to the index methodology of the reference index of each Sub-Fund (each a “Reference Index”) effective as of 2 March 2026 (the “Effective Date”).

Capitalised terms used in this notice shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the latest version of the prospectus of the Company (the “Prospectus”) unless the context otherwise requires.

A. Overview of the Changes

Removal of the conventional weapons screen

Each Reference Index excludes companies which do not fulfill certain environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) criteria (the “ESG Screens”). As of the Effective Date, the ESG Screens were updated to remove the exclusion criteria relating to conventional weapons. The updated ESG Screens will therefore be applied to exclude companies that:

• Are unrated by MSCI ESG Research;
• Are assigned an MSCI ESG Rating of CCC;
• Are classified by MSCI in their ESG Business Involvement Screening Research as having any involvement in controversial weapons;
• Are classified by MSCI in their Business Involvement Screening Research as breaching certain revenue thresholds in controversial activities, including, but not limited to, tobacco, nuclear weapons, civilian firearms, thermal coal, unconventional and/or arctic oil and gas extraction and palm oil; and
• Fail to comply with the United Nations Global Compact principles, have an MSCI Controversies Score of 0 or have an insufficient MSCI ESG Controversies Score related to certain biodiversity and/or environmental controversies.

Amendment to the nuclear weapons screen

As of the Effective Date, the scope of the nuclear weapons exclusion under the ESG Screens will be narrowed such that exclusions now only apply to companies that:

• Manufacture nuclear warheads or nuclear missiles; or
• Manufacture components for exclusive use in warheads or missiles.

Amendment to the carbon emission reduction rule

Following the application of the ESG Screens, each Reference Index applies a carbon emission reduction rule (the “Carbon Emission Reduction Rule”), targeting a 30% reduction in greenhouse gas intensity compared to the relevant parent index of each Reference Index.

As of the Effective Date, the Index Administrator will introduce a cool-off period whereby any company excluded under the Carbon Emission Reduction Rule must wait a 12-month period to become eligible for re-inclusion in the relevant Reference Index.

For the avoidance of doubt, the above Changes shall have no impact on the Investment Objective, Investment Policy, risk profile or fees of each Sub-Fund.

B. General Information

This notice is for information purposes only. Shareholders are not required to take any action.

Copies of the revised Prospectus and the Pre-contractual information on Sustainable Investments documents of each Sub-Fund reflecting the Changes will be made available on the website of the Company (www.Xtrackers.com) at the next available opportunity. The documents thereof may be obtained on request free of charge at the registered office of the Company or at the offices of foreign representatives, once available.
