3. The Company may be dissolved upon decision of an extraordinary general meeting of its Shareholders.
If the capital of the Company falls below two thirds of the minimum capital, the Board of Directors must
submit the question of the dissolution of the Company to a general meeting for which no quorum shall
be prescribed and which shall be decided by a simple majority of the holders of Shares represented at
the meeting. If the capital of the Company falls below one-fourth of the minimum capital, the Board of

no quorum shall be prescribed; dissolution may be resolved by Shareholders holding one- fourth of
the Shares at the meeting. If the Company should be liquidated, its liquidation will be carried out in
accordance with the provisions of the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg which specify the
steps to be taken to enable Shareholders to participate in the liquidation distribution(s) and in that
connection provides for deposit in escrow at the Caisse de Consignation of any such amounts which
have not been promptly claimed by any Shareholders. Amounts not claimed from escrow within the
prescribed period would be liable to be forfeited in accordance with the provisions of the laws of the
Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
4. The Board of Directors may decide to liquidate a Fund if the net assets of such Fund fall below USD
20 million or if a change in the economic or political situation relating to the Fund concerned would
justify such liquidation. The decision of the liquidation will be published by the Company prior to the
effective date of the liquidation and the publication will indicate the reasons for, and the procedures
of, the liquidation operations. Unless the Board of Directors otherwise decides in the interests of, or
to keep equal treatment between, the Shareholders, the Shareholders of the Fund concerned may continue
to request redemption or conversion of their Shares. Assets which could not be distributed to their
beneficiaries upon the close of the liquidation period of the Fund will be deposited with the Custodian
for a period of six (6) months after the closure of liquidation. After such time, the assets will be deposited
with the Caisse de Consignation on behalf of their beneficiaries.
Under the same circumstances as described in the preceding paragraph, the Board of Directors may
decide to close down one Fund by contributions into another Fund. In addition, such merger may be
decided by the Board of Directors if required by the interests of the Shareholders of the relevant Funds.
Such decision will be published in the same manner as described in the preceding paragraph and, in
addition, the publication will contain information in relation to the other Fund. Such publication will
be made within one (1) month before the date on which the merger becomes effective in order to enable
Shareholders to request redemption or exchange of their Shares, free of charge, before the operation
involving contributions into another Fund becomes effective.
Under the same circumstances as provided above, the Board of Directors may also decide to close down
one Fund by contributions into another undertaking for collective investment governed by Part I of the
Law relating to collective investment undertakings. In addition, such merger may be decided by the

information in relation to the other undertaking for collective investment. Such publication will be
