1 September 2026

This notice is to inform you on behalf of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) about recent developments in respect of the Delisting Share Class(es) in which you hold Shares.

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.

The Board of Directors deems it appropriate to seek (i) the cessation of trading of the shares of the relevant class of each Sub-Fund, i.e., the Delisting Share Classes (the “Cessation of Trading”) (as set out in the table below) which are listed and traded on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “SEHK”) (the “Hong Kong Shares”), (ii) the compulsory redemption of the Hong Kong Shares in each Delisting Share Class (the “Compulsory Redemption”), (iii) the delisting of each Sub-Fund in Hong Kong (the “Delisting”), and (iv) the voluntary deauthorisation of the Company and each Sub-Fund (the “Deauthorisation”) from the authorisation regime of the Securities and Futures Commission (the “SFC”). For the avoidance of doubt, Hong Kong Shares are only those share classes of each Sub-Fund listed and traded on the SEHK and do not relate to the respective sub-funds of the Delisting Share Classes as a whole.

The Cessation of Trading, Delisting, and Deauthorisation of the Hong Kong Shares and the Company in Hong Kong is based on a strategic review of the Company’s business in Hong Kong. Consequently, the Cessation of Trading of the Hong Kong Shares on the SEHK, as further described below, will be effective from 1 December 2026 (the “Trading Cessation Date”). Following the Cut-off Time for each Delisting Share Class on 1 September 2026, subscriptions for the Hong Kong Shares will be limited to the subscriptions by the authorised participants in Hong Kong (the “Hong Kong Authorised Participants”) for market making activities of the SEHK Market Maker(s) to provide liquidity of the trading of the Hong Kong Shares on the SEHK.

Three months’ notice is hereby given to shareholders of the Hong Kong Shares (the “Hong Kong Shareholders”) of each Delisting Share Class notifying them that Trading of the Hong Kong Shares on the SEHK will cease with effect from close of trading on 30 November 2026 (the "Last Trading Day"). Up to the Last Trading Day, Hong Kong Shareholders may make requests for redemption of their Hong Kong Shares in the primary market through a Hong Kong Authorised Participant or on the SEHK in the secondary market. Such redemptions shall be free of any Redemption Charge from the date of this notice until the Last Trading Day. Please note that the Company does not charge any redemption fee for the sale of Hong Kong Shares in the secondary market. Hong Kong 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.

From and including the Trading Cessation Date, each Sub-Fund will only be operated in a limited manner in Hong Kong in the sense that (a) each Sub-Fund shall no longer be marketed or offered to the public in Hong Kong, (b) no further buying or selling of the Hong Kong Shares on the SEHK will be possible, and (c) no further requests for subscription or redemption of Hong Kong Shares from the Hong Kong Authorised Participants in the primary market will be accepted.

Compulsory Redemption

Hong Kong Shareholders who continue to hold Hong Kong Shares after the Last Trading Day will not be able to sell their holdings of such Hong Kong Shares on the SEHK after the Last Trading Day. Following the Delisting and Deauthorisation, the delisted Hong Kong Shares will no longer be recognised as eligible securities by the Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited and will be outside the SFC’s authorisation regime. Shareholders of Hong Kong Shares will not be able to dispose of their delisted Hong Kong Shares on the SEHK after the Delisting.

Having taken into account the interests of the Hong Kong Shareholders of each Delisting Share Class, the Board of Directors is of the view that the Compulsory Redemption would be in the best interest of the Hong Kong Shareholders of each Delisting Share Class. Therefore, the Board of Directors has resolved to compulsorily redeem all outstanding Hong Kong Shares in each Delisting Share Class by exercising its powers pursuant to Article 8 of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. All outstanding Hong Kong Shares in each Delisting Share Class will be compulsorily redeemed on 8 December 2026 (the “Compulsory Redemption Date”). The last Redemption Price in connection with such compulsory redemption (the “Compulsory Redemption Price”) will be determined by reference to the Net Asset Value per Share of the Delisting Share Classes as of the Compulsory Redemption Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Compulsory Redemption of the Hong Kong Shares of the Delisting Share Class only relates to those Delisting Share Classes and not to the respective sub-funds of the Delisting Share Classes as a whole. Shares, other than the Hong Kong Shares, in the Delisting Share Class of each Sub-Fund, are currently listed on other overseas stock exchanges and will continue to be listed on other overseas stock exchanges following Delisting and Deauthorisation.

The following terms and conditions of the Compulsory Redemption have been determined in accordance with Article 21 of the Articles of Incorporation and shall apply as of the Compulsory Redemption Date:

1. The Compulsory Redemption Price of the Hong Kong Shares in each Delisting Share Class will be determined by reference to the prevailing Net Asset Value per Share of such Hong Kong Shares in the relevant Delisting Share Class as of the Compulsory Redemption Date (the “Reference NAV”). The Compulsory Redemption Price will take into account, amongst other expenses, all costs resulting from the realisation of the investments for the Compulsory Redemption. Accordingly, the Compulsory Redemption Price may not be the Net Asset Value of the relevant Delisting Share Class as at the Compulsory Redemption Price Date;
2. No Redemption Charge will be applied;
3. The Redemption Proceeds will be paid in the relevant Reference Currency (USD);
4. The Hong Kong record date (the “Hong Kong Record Date”) in respect of any payment of Redemption Proceeds resulting from such Compulsory Redemption of the Hong Kong Shares in each Delisting Share Class is expected to be 4 December 2026. For the purposes of this announcement, the Hong Kong Record Date means the date on which the Company will identify the Shareholders of Hong Kong Shares in each Delisting Share Class based on the names appearing on the records of the Central Clearing and Settlement System established and operated by Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Ltd; and
5. The Redemption Proceeds resulting from the Compulsory Redemption are expected to be paid to Hong Kong Shareholders on or before 15 December 2026 (the “Hong Kong Payment Date”). It should be noted that Hong Kong Shareholders who hold Hong Kong Shares via intermediaries may receive payment of the Redemption Proceeds later than the Hong Kong Payment Date.

Further information in relation to the Cessation of Trading, Compulsory Redemption, Delisting, and Deauthorisation may be obtained from the legal entities mentioned under Contact information below, the offices of foreign representatives or by sending an email to [e-mail].

Hong Kong 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.

All Shareholders are strongly advised to consult their tax advisor to assess the impact of the Compulsory Redemption and any potential tax consequences thereof under the laws of the countries of their nationality, residence, domicile or incorporation.
