IMPORTANT NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS OF THE SUB-FUNDS db x-trackers EURO STOXX 50® UCITS ETF (DR) (LU0846194776) db x-trackers DAX® UCITS ETF (DR) (LU0838782315)
(the “Sub-Funds”)
The board of directors of the Company hereby informs the shareholders of the Sub-Funds (the “Shareholders”) that it has resolved to change the name of the Sub-Funds, effective as of 6 December 2013, so as to read as follows:
| Current Name | New Name | ||
| db x-trackers DAX® UCITS ETF (DR) | db x-trackers DAX® UCITS ETF (DR) – Income | ||
| db x-trackers EURO STOXX 50® UCITS ETF (DR) | db x-trackers EURO STOXX 50® UCITS ETF (DR) – Income |
The rationale for the insertion of the reference to "Income" at the end of the name of the above listed sub-funds is to distinguish between sub-funds of the Company which have the same Investment Objective and Policy but which have different distribution policies, such that one sub-fund may comprise Capitalisation Shares and/or Distribution Shares, whilst the other sub-fund (with the reference "Income" in its denomination) solely comprises Distribution Shares for which the Company intends in principle to declare dividends. The name change also ensures consistency in respect of the names of all Direct Replication Funds of the Company which have Distribution Shares only.
Shareholders should note that following the change of names as described above, the Investment Objective and the Investment Policy and the relevant Reference Indices of the Sub-Funds concerned will remain unchanged. The above mentioned change of name of the Sub-Funds will take effect from the date of this notice.
Copies of the Company's revised prospectus and the updated key investor information documents for each Sub-Fund reflecting the above changes will be available on the website of the Company (http://www.etf.db.com), and a copy thereof may be obtained on request free of charge at the Company’s registered office or at the foreign representatives’ offices, once available.
Capitalised terms used in this notice shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the latest version of the prospectus of the Company, unless the context otherwise requires.
If you have any queries or if any of the above is not clear you should seek advice from your stockbroker, bank manager, legal adviser, accountant or other independent financial advisor. Shareholders should also consult their own professional advisers as to the specific tax implications under the laws of the countries of their nationality, residence, domicile or incorporation.
Further information in relation to the above change may also be obtained from the legal entities mentioned under ‘Contact information’ below, the offices of foreign representatives or by sending an email to info.dbx-trackers@db.com.
Neither the contents of the Company's website nor the contents of any other website accessible from hyperlinks on the Company's website is incorporated into, or forms part of, this announcement.
