Further details on each of the New Reference Indexes, including their calculation, rules and methodology can be found on https://www.msci.com.

2. Change to the Transparency under SFDR

The Current Reference Indexes apply certain ESG screens and criteria and the Sub-Funds currently promote, among other characteristics, environmental and social characteristics and are subject to the disclosure requirements of a financial product under Article 8 of the Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of 27 November 2019 on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector, as amended (“SFDR”) (“Current Transparency under SFDR”). The New Reference Indexes do not apply ESG screens and following the proposed Changes, the Sub-Funds will not promote environmental or social characteristics and will not have sustainable investment or the reduction of carbon emissions as their objective. Therefore, the Sub-Funds will be subject to the disclosure requirements of a financial product under Article 6 of SFDR (“New Transparency under SFDR”) as from the Effective Date.

3. Change to the Sub-Fund’s Names

As a result of the changes of Reference Indexes, the Board of Directors has resolved to change the names of the Sub-Funds from the Effective Date, as follows:

Current Sub-Fund Name	New Sub-Fund Name
Xtrackers MSCI EM Latin America ESG Swap UCITS ETF	Xtrackers MSCI EM Latin America Swap UCITS ETF
Xtrackers MSCI Europe Materials Screened UCITS ETF	Xtrackers MSCI Europe Materials UCITS ETF

Xtrackers MSCI Europe Industrials Screened UCITS ETF	Xtrackers MSCI Europe Industrials UCITS ETF
Xtrackers MSCI Pacific ex Japan Screened UCITS ETF	Xtrackers MSCI Pacific ex Japan UCITS ETF

A summary of the Changes is included as an Annex at the end of this notice.

The proposed Changes form part of the Company’s ongoing review of its product range and are intended to enhance the structural characteristics of the Sub-Funds, including diversification considerations.

The transition to the New Reference Indexes, including the removal of ESG screening criteria, is expected to improve diversification and provide broader market exposure.

In light of the above, the Board of Directors considers that the proposed Changes are in the best interests of the Shareholders.

General Information

For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Sub-Funds’ fees will remain unchanged.

Shareholders should be aware that transaction costs (including those related to the derivative transactions) and duties are expected to arise as a result of the Changes and will be borne by the Sub-Funds.

Shareholders who subscribe for Shares in the Sub-Fund(s) on the primary market and who do not agree with the Changes, are entitled to redeem their Shares in the Sub-Fund(s) in accordance with the Prospectus. Such redemptions shall be free of any Redemption Charge from the date of this notice until the relevant Cut-off time listed in the Product Annex of each Sub-Fund for the Transaction day before the Effective Date. Please note that the Company does not charge any redemption fee for the sale of Shares in the secondary market. Orders to sell Shares through a stock exchange can be placed via an authorised intermediary or stockbroker. Shareholders should note that orders in the secondary market may incur costs over which the Company has no control and to which the above exemption on redemption charges does not apply.

Copies of the revised Prospectus and the key information documents of the Sub-Funds reflecting the Changes will be made available on the website of the Company (www.Xtrackers.com) on or around the Effective Date, and copies 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.

Shareholders who have any queries or to whom any of the above is not clear should seek advice from their stockbroker, bank manager, legal advisor, accountant or other independent financial advisor. Shareholders should also consult their own professional advisors as to the specific tax implications under the laws of the countries of their nationality, residence, domicile or incorporation.
