- the "Liquidity" Sub-Funds (the portfolio of which is composed of any debt securities and instruments,<br />

irrespective of whether they are Transferable Securities or not, including bonds, certificates of deposits, deposit<br />

receipts and all other similar instruments, provided that, at the time of their acquisition by the relevant Sub-Fund, their<br />

initial or residual maturity does not exceed twelve months, taking into account the financial instruments connected<br />

therewith, or the terms and conditions governing those securities provide that the interest rate applicable thereto is<br />

adjusted at least annually on the basis of market conditions).<br />

No stamp duty or other tax is payable in Luxembourg on the issue of Shares. No Luxembourg tax is payable on the<br />

realised or unrealised capital appreciation of the assets of the Company. No further capital tax is payable. Any<br />

amendments to the Articles of Incorporation are as a rule subject to a fixed registration duty of €75,-.<br />

Dividends and interest received by the Company on its investments may be subject to non-recoverable withholding<br />

taxes imposed by their countries of origin.<br />

In addition, the Company or its Sub-Funds may be subject to an additional taxation levied by foreign tax,<br />

governmental authorities of the jurisdictions where the Company or its Sub-Funds are registered or distributed.<br />

XVI - EQUALIZATION<br />

Each Sub-Fund may follow the accounting practice of equalization, to prevent the net undistributed income per Share<br />

from fluctuating solely by reason of purchases and redemptions of Shares. This is accomplished by maintaining an<br />

equalization account for the Sub-Fund. The equalization account is credited with that portion of the proceeds of<br />

purchased Shares representing the net undistributed income per Share of those Shares, and is debited with that<br />

portion of any redemption payment representing the net undistributed income per Share of the redeemed Shares.<br />

XVII - MEETINGS<br />

Annual general meetings of the Shareholders of the Company (the ‘Annual General Meeting’) are held at the<br />

registered office of the Company in Luxembourg on 18 th May at 11.00 am (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on<br />

the next following Business Day). General meetings of Shareholders will be held at such time and place as are<br />

indicated in the notices of such meetings. Notices of a general meeting and other notices will be given in accordance<br />

with Luxembourg law. Notices will, if legally required, be published in the Mémorial and the d’Wort in Luxembourg,<br />

and in such other newspapers as the Directors may determine. Notices will specify the place and time of the<br />

meetings, the conditions of admission, the agenda, the quorum and the voting requirements and will be given at least<br />

8 clear days prior to the meetings. The requirements as to attendance, quorum and majorities at all general meetings<br />

will be those laid down in the Articles of the Company and articles 67-1 and 70 of the Luxembourg law of 10 th August<br />

1915 on commercial companies (as amended). All Shareholders may attend the Annual General Meetings, any<br />

general meetings and Class meetings of the Sub-Funds in which they hold Shares and may vote either in person or<br />

by proxy.<br />

XVIII - LIQUIDATION OF THE COMPANY, MERGER OR LIQUIDATION OF THE SUB-<strong><strong>FUND</strong>S</strong> AND LIQUIDATION<br />

OF THE CLASSES OF SHARES<br />

The Company will exist until wound up by special resolution and dissolved according to the Law of 2010. If, for a<br />

period of 30 consecutive days, for any reason, the value at the respective Net Asset Value of all outstanding Shares<br />

shall be less than EUR 840,000 or the Net Asset Value of any assets relating to any Sub-Fund is lower that EUR<br />

840,000 or in the case of a Sub-Fund denominated in a currency other than the EUR, the equivalent in that currency<br />

of such amount, or in case the Directors deem it appropriate because of the changes in the economical or political<br />

situation affecting the Company or the relevant Sub-Fund or Class of Shares (such as this may be disclosed, as the<br />

case may be, under the relevant Appendices), the Directors may, after giving prior notice to the Shareholders<br />

concerned, redeem all (but not some of) the Shares of the Company or of the relevant Sub-Fund or Class of Shares<br />

(as the case may be) on the next Valuation Day following the expiry of such notice at the Net Asset Value reflecting<br />

the anticipated realisation and liquidation costs, but with no other redemption charge, or, subject to 30 days prior<br />

notice to the Shareholders, merge that Sub-Fund with another Sub-Fund of the Company or with another<br />

Luxembourg UCITS.<br />

In the event of liquidation of the Company, either at the end of its life or prior thereto, the net liquidation proceeds will<br />

be paid to the relevant Shareholders in proportion of the Shares they are holding. Liquidation proceeds which will<br />

remain unpaid after the closing of the liquidation procedure will be deposited with the Caisse des Consignations to<br />

the benefit of the persons entitled thereto.<br />
