目(須扣除任何購回費用),且直至董事收到該受讓人就其居籍或狀況提供董事 可能要求的聲明前,董事可拒絕將該股東登記為受讓人。保管人應確保購回所得 款項乃就上述償付任何適用稅項負債之目的而持有。」 8. 議決並茲修訂本公司《組織章程細則》,刪除細則第 12(b) 條,並加插下文取代﹕ 「(c) 在以下情況,本公司可隨時 (但並無責任)暫時停止釐定任何基金股份之資產

議決並茲修訂本公司《組織章程細則》,刪除細則第 13 條,並加插下文取代﹕「13. 資產估值 (a) 本公司之資產淨值應按照本細則的規定計算。 (b) 各基金的每股資產淨值須於每一交易日在招股說明書指定的時間進行估 值。不歸屬於任何基金的任何本公司負債,應按比例在所有基金之間分 配。 (i) 在受監管市場或場外交易市場上市或買賣的資產(下文(v)及(vi) 所述者除外)如能隨時取得市場報價,應按最後交易報價進行估 值,倘無可得市場報價,或本公司認為該市場報價不能代表公平 市值,則按該項投資所在市場的主要交易所之最後中位市場報價 (即最近期買價與賣價之間的中間價)進行估值,惟在受監管市 場上市但在場外或在有關股票交易所以外或在場外市場以溢價 或折讓收購或買賣的投資,可計及於投資估值日期的溢價或折讓 水平而予以估值。保管人必須確保就計算該證券的可能變現價值 而言,採納該項程序屬合理。 倘本公司認為特定資產之可得最後價格未能反映其公平價值,或 該價格不具代表性或無法獲得,則應由董事或其正式委任的授權 代表所委任的合資格人士(經保管人就此目的批准),謹慎地及 本著誠信按該等資產的可能變現價值,估計該等資產之價值。 (ii) 倘資產在數個受監管市場上市或買賣,將使用該等資產在本公司 認為是該等資產的最主要市場之受監管市場的最後交易報價或 最後中位市場報價進行估值。 (iii) 倘任何投資在有關交易日並未於任何受監管市場上市或買賣,則 該證券應由董事或其正式委任的授權代表所委任並經保管人就 此目的批准的合資格人士,謹慎地及本著誠信釐定的可能變現價 4 值進行估值。基於非上市證券的性質,以及難以從其他來源取得 估值,該合資格專業人士可能與投資顧問有關。 (iv) 現金和其他流動資產將按面值加上應計利息(如適用) 估值。 (v) 集體投資計劃之單位或股份將按最近期可得資產淨值估值,倘這 些單位或股份在受監管市場上市或買賣,則按最後交易報價或中 位報價(或如果無法取得中位報價,則按買方出價)進行估值, 或倘上述價格無法獲得或不具代表性,則按被視為與該集體投資 計劃相關的最近期可得資產淨值進行估值。 (vi) 交易所買賣的衍生工具將按該工具於該市場的結算價進行估 值。場外衍生工具將於每日採用對手方的估值或替代估值(如由 本公司計算或董事或其正式委任的授權代表所委任並經保管人 就此目的批准的獨立價格提供者計算的估值)進行估值。如採用 對手方的估值,該估值必須由獨立方(須為保管人就此目的批准) 至少每周作出批准或核證。倘採用替代估值,該估值須每月就該 工具對手方所提供的估值進行調整。遠期外匯合約將參考具有相 同規模及到期日的新遠期合約可能簽訂的價格進行估值。 (vii) 任何並非以美元計價的價值(不論是投資或現金價值)及任何非 美元計值的借款,應按本公司認為在有關情況下屬適當之匯率 (不論是官方匯率或其他匯率)兌換為美元。 倘根據上文(i)至(vii)段所載的估值規則無法及不能正確評估特定投資之 價值,或該估值未能代表該證券之公平市值時,則本公司有權採用其他 一般公認之估值原則,為該特定工具達致恰當估值,惟該估值方法須事 先獲保管人批准。 (c) 當計算任何基金的變現價格時,董事在保管人的批准下可調整每股資產 淨值,以反映該基金的投資價值(假定該基金乃按其於有關時間在有關 市場的最高市場買入價進行估值)。董事作出調整的意向僅為了在有關 基金出現重大或經常性淨購回股份時,維護持續股東的持股價值而行使 此項酌情權。 (d) 在上述意向已載於招股說明書的前提下,某基金的資產可使用攤銷成本 估值法進行估值,按此方法,某基金的投資均按其購入成本估值,其後 則假設就任何折價或溢價進行攤銷,直至到期日(惟估值須按照央行的 5 要求進行)。如屬只投資於短期證券的基金(貨幣市場基金),只可就 符合下列準則的證券採用攤銷成本估值法﹕ • 到期日為發行日至最多 397 日(包括該日)﹔ • 剩餘期限最多達 397 日(包括該日)﹔ • 至少每 397 日因應貨幣市場情況而對收益率作出定期調整﹔及/或 • 其風險狀況(包括信貸及利率風險)與到期期限最多達 397 日(包 括該日)或須至少每 397 日作出收率調整的金融工具的風險狀況 對應。 該基金的加權平均到期期限不得超過 60 天。管理人將每周檢討貨幣市場 工具的市值與攤銷成本價值之間的差異。本公司應設有升級處理程序, 以確保﹕ • 將貨幣市場工具的市值與攤銷成本價值之間的重大差異報告投 資顧問處理﹔ • 將投資組合的市值與攤銷成本價值之間超過 0.1% 的差異報告董 事及投資顧問處理﹔ • 將投資組合的市值與攤銷成本價值之間超過 0.2% 的差異報告董 事及保管人處理﹔ • 投資組合的市值與攤銷成本價值之間超過 0.3% 的差異,必須每 日予以檢討。董事將通知央行表示將會採取減低該攤薄情況的措 施(如有)﹔及 • 每周檢討升級處理程序,並清楚記錄任何已進行的升級處理程 序。 董事將監察攤銷成本估值法的使用,以確保此方法繼續符合股東的最佳 利益,並為基金的投資提供公平估值。可能在某些期間,根據攤銷成本 估值法釐定工具的既定價值較基金出售工具時可能收到的價格為高或為 低,而攤銷成本估值法的準確度,可能受到利率變化及基金投資的發行 人的信貸狀況之影響。 6 就其他基金而言,貨幣市場工具可按攤銷基準進行估值,惟有關貨幣市 場工具的剩餘期限不得超過三個月,且對市場參數(包括信貸風險)没 有特定敏感性。 (e) 如果董事認為此處規定的估值方法不能為任何特定資產提供公平估值, 董事有權就該資產採取另一種替代估值法,而該替代估值法必須首先獲 得保管人的批准。 (f) 在計算資產的資產淨值時﹕(i) 本公司配發的每股股份應被視為已發行及資產應被視為不僅包 括保管人持有的相關現金及財產,亦包括將就所獲配發的股份收 到的任何現金金額或其他財產﹔ (ii) 倘投資已被同意購買或出售但有關購買或出售尚未完成,則應將 該等投資包括在內或摒除在外,以及總購買代價或淨出售代價應 被摒除在外或包括在內(視乎情況而定),猶如該等購買或出售 已正式完成﹔ (iii) 倘購回股份的通知已向保管人發出但有關註銷尚未完成,將予註 銷的股份將被視為尚未發行,而資產的價值應減去註銷時應支付 予股東的金額﹔ (iv) 除非本文另有具體規定,如任何一種貨幣款項需被兌換為另一種 貨幣,董事可採用其於有關時間釐定的匯率進行兌換﹔ (v) 應從資產中扣除應恰當支付的任何實際或估計負債,包括未償還 借款(如有),但不包括上文(ii)分段所計及的負債,以及任何估 計稅務負債及該等或然或預計開支金額(管理人經考慮招股說明 書及本公司《組織章程細則》的條文後認為屬公平合理者)﹔ (vi) 如已提供認購期權,則應從任何投資價值中扣除該期權的價值。 期權的價值乃參考在受監管市場上所報的最低可得市場交易賣 出價計算,或如無可得價格,則參考股票經紀或保管人所核准的 其他人士所核證的價格或董事經考慮當時情況下認為屬合理並 經保管人批准的該價格﹔ (vii) 應將任何應計但未收取的利息或股息款項,以及未攤銷開支款項 計入資產﹔ 7 (viii) 應將就上一個會計期間並未作出宣派的任何可供分派款項(如 有) 加到資產﹔ (ix) 應從資產中扣除應恰當支付的任何其他負債總額(不論是實際金 額或董事估計的金額),包括借款的應計利息(如有)﹔ (x) 資產價值應按適用情況上調或下調至最接近的兩個小數位﹔ (xi) 倘出現特殊情況導致估值變得不合實際或不充分,本公司經保管 人同意後,可就特定資產謹慎地及本著誠信根據其他公認估值原 則(須經保管人批准),從而得出本公司資產的公平估值,直至 有關特殊情況終止﹔ (xii) 每股資產淨值須上調或下調(視適用情況而定)至最接近的四個 小數位或招股說明書另行規定者﹔ (g) 在不損害此處核准董事轉授職能的一般權力下,董事可將其任何有關計 算資產淨值的職能轉授予管理人或董事委員會或任何其他獲正式授權的 人士。在沒有故意不當行為或明顯錯誤的情況下,董事或任何董事委員 會或管理人或任何獲正式授權的人士在代表本公司計算資產淨值時所作 出的每一個決定均屬最終決定,並對本公司及現有、過去或將來的股東 具有約束力。」 10. 議決並茲修訂本公司《組織章程細則》,刪除細則第 15(h) 條,並加插下文取代﹕「(h) 本公司或某基金可投資於集體投資計劃,惟須受不時概述的規例及央行不時規定 的條件及限制之規限。除非招股說明書另有規定,本公司就某基金對其他集體投 資計劃單位作出的投資,合共不得超過該基金資產的 10%。倘獲央行批准,本公 司或某基金可投資於由同一管理公司或基於共同管理或控制或重大直接或間接 持股而與該管理公司有聯繫的任何其他公司管理的集體投資計劃(「相關計 劃」),但前提是,管理公司或該其他公司不得就本公司或該基金於相關計劃的 投資收取認購或贖回費用。」 11. 議決並茲修訂本公司《組織章程細則》,刪除細則第 16(b) 條的以下文字﹕ 「於本公司財政年度結束後六個月內」 12. 議決並茲修訂本公司《組織章程細則》,刪除細則第 18(b) 條,並加插下文取代﹕ 「(b) 除非達到足夠法定人數出席,否則在任何股東大會上不得處理任何事務。兩位親 身或委派代表出席的股東,即構成股東大會的法定人數,惟倘若某基金或類別只 8 有一名股東,則法定人數為一名親身或委派代表出席會議的股東。根據細則第 19(m)條獲授權出席本公司任何大會的公司代表,就法定人數而言,應被視作一 名股東。」 13. 議決並茲修訂本公司《組織章程細則》,刪除細則第 31 條,並加插下文取代﹕「31. 通知 (a) 規定須送達或發送給股東的任何通知或其他文件,如以郵寄方式或放置 於股東在登記名冊上所示地址,或經股東同意以電子方式發送電子格式 (如屬聯名股東,則按股東名冊上排名首位的股東之資料作出),或 (除

With the exception of permitted investments in unlisted securities or in units of open-ended collective investment schemes, the Company and its funds will only invest in those securities and derivative instruments listed or traded on a stock exchange or market (including derivative markets) which meets with the regulatory criteria (regulated, operate regularly, be recognised and open to the public) and which is listed in the Prospectus.” In the event that the Company is required by any applicable laws, regulations, direction or guidance, or by any agreement with any tax or fiscal authority to deduct, withhold or account for tax on shares held by a Member (whether upon a repurchase of shares, a transfer of shares or otherwise) or upon the payment of a distribution to a Member (whether in cash or otherwise), or in any other circumstances in which a tax liability arises in connection with a Member’s holding of shares, the Directors shall, acting in good faith and on reasonable grounds, be entitled to arrange for the repurchase and cancellation of such number of the shares of such Member as are sufficient after the deduction of any repurchase charges to discharge any such tax liability and the Directors may decline to register a transferee as a Member until such time as they receive from the transferee such declarations as to residency or status as they may require. The Custodian shall ensure that the repurchase proceeds are held for the purposes of discharging any applicable tax liability as aforesaid.” RESOLVED that the articles of association of the Company be and are hereby amended by the deletion of the current Article 12(b) and the insertion of the following in its place:“(c) The Company at any time may, but shall not be obliged to, temporarily suspend the determination of the Net Asset Value of the shares in any fund and the sale and repurchase of such shares, in the following instances:(i) any period (other than ordinary holiday or customary weekend closings) when any market is closed which is the main market for a significant part of the fund’s investments, or when trading thereon is restricted or suspended; (ii) any period during which disposal of investments which constitute a substantial portion of the assets of the fund is not practically feasible; (iii) any period when for any reason the prices of any investments of the fund cannot be reasonably, promptly or accurately ascertained by the Company; (iv) any period when remittance of monies which will, or may, be involved in the realisation of, or in the payment for, investments of the fund cannot, in the opinion of the Directors, be carried out at normal rates of exchange; (v) any period when proceeds of the sale or repurchase of the Shares cannot be transmitted to or from the fund’s account; 3 9. (vi) any period when the Company is considering the merger in relation to the Company, a fund or share class where in the opinion of the Directors such suspension is justified having regard to the interests of the Members; (vii) upon the occurrence of an event causing it or any fund to enter into liquidation; (viii) any other period where in the opinion of the Directors circumstances require such a suspension and it is justified having regard to the interests of the Members.” RESOLVED that the articles of association of the Company be and are hereby amended by the deletion of Article 13 and the insertion of the following in its place:“13. VALUATION OF ASSETS (a) The Net Asset Value of the Company shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of this Article. (b) The Net Asset Value per share of each fund shall be valued on each Dealing Day at the time specified in the Prospectus. Any liabilities of the Company which are not attributable to any fund shall be allocated pro rata amongst all of the funds. (i) Assets listed or traded on a Regulated Market or over-the counter markets (other than those referred to at (v) and (vi) below) for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at the last quoted trade price, if unavailable or, in the opinion of the Company unrepresentative of fair market value, the latest middle market quotation (i.e. the mid price between the latest bid and offer prices) on the principal exchange in the market for such investment provided that the value of the investment listed on a Regulated Market but acquired or traded at a premium or at a discount outside or off the relevant stock exchange or on an over-the-counter market may be valued taking into account the level of premium or discount as at the date of valuation of the investment. The Custodian must ensure the adoption of such a procedure is justifiable in the context of establishing the probable realisation value of the security. If for specific assets the latest available prices do not, in the opinion of the Company, reflect their fair value, or if the price is unrepresentative or unavailable, the value shall be estimated with care and in good faith by the a competent person appointed by the Directors or its duly appointed delegate and approved for that purpose by the Custodian on the basis of the probable realisation value for such assets. (ii) If the assets are listed or traded on several Regulated Markets, the last quoted trade price or latest middle market quotation on the Regulated Market which, in the opinion of the Company constitutes the main market for such assets, will be used. (iii) in the event that any of the investments on the relevant Dealing Day is not listed or traded on any Regulated Market, such security shall be valued at the probable realisation value determined with care and in good faith by a competent person appointed by the Directors or its 4 duly appointed delegate and approved by the Custodian for such purpose. Due to the nature of such unquoted securities and the difficulty in obtaining a valuation from other sources, such competent professional may be related to the Investment Adviser. (iv) cash and other liquid assets will be valued at their face value with interest accrued, where applicable. (v) units or shares in collective investment schemes will be valued at the latest available net asset value or, if listed or traded on a Regulated Market, at the latest quoted trade price or, a mid-quotation (or, if unavailable, a bid quotation) or, if unavailable or unrepresentative, the latest available net asset value as deemed relevant to the collective investment scheme. (vi) exchange traded derivative instruments will be valued at the settlement price for such instruments on such market. Over-thecounter derivative instruments shall be valued daily using either the counterparty valuation or an alternative valuation, such as a valuation calculated by the Company or by an independent pricing vendor appointed by the Directors or its duly appointed delegate and approved for that purpose by the Custodian. Where the counterparty valuation is used, the valuation must be approved or verified by an independent party who is approved for the purpose by the Custodian at least weekly. Where an alternative valuation is used, such valuation shall be reconciled on a monthly basis to the valuation provided by the counterparty to such instrument. Forward foreign exchange contracts shall be valued by reference to the price at which a new forward contract of the same size and maturity could be undertaken. (vii) any value expressed otherwise than in US Dollars (whether of an investment or cash) and any non-US Dollar borrowing shall be converted into US Dollars at the rate (whether official or otherwise) which the Company deems appropriate in the circumstances. In the event of it being impossible or incorrect to carry out a valuation of a specific investment in accordance with the valuation rules set out in paragraphs (i) to (vii) above, or if such valuation is not representative of a security fair market value, the Company is entitled to use other generally recognised valuation principles in order to reach a proper valuation of that specific instrument, provided that such method of valuation has been approved by the Custodian. (c) The Directors, with the approval of the Custodian, may adjust the Net Asset Value per share when calculating realisation prices for any fund, to reflect the value of such fund’s investments assuming they were valued using the highest market bid price on the relevant market at the relevant time. The Directors’ intention is only to exercise this discretion to preserve the value of the holdings of continuing Members in the event of substantial or recurring net repurchases of shares in the relevant fund. (d) Provided that the intention to do so has been set out in the Prospectus, the assets of a fund may be valued using the amortised cost method of valuation whereby the Investments of a fund are valued at their costs of acquisition and thereafter assuming an amortisation to maturity of any discount or premium 5 provided the valuation is in accordance with the requirements of the Central Bank. In the case of funds which invest solely in short term securities (money market funds), the amortised cost method of valuation shall be applied only in respect of securities which meet the following criteria: • have a maturity at issuance of up to and including 397 days; • have a residual maturity of up to and including 397 days; • undergo regular yield adjustments in line with the money market conditions at least every 397 days; and/or • the risk profile, including credit and interest rate risks, corresponds to that of financial instruments which have a maturity of up to and including 397 days or are subject to a yield adjustment at least every 397 days. The weighted average maturity of the fund must not exceed 60 days. The Administrator will carry out a weekly review of discrepancies between the market value and the amortised cost value of the money market instruments. Escalation procedures should be put in place by the Company to ensure that: • material discrepancies between the market value and the amortised cost value of a money market instrument are brought to the attention of the Investment Adviser; • discrepancies in excess of 0.1% between the market value and the amortised cost value of the portfolio will be brought to the attention of the Directors and the Investment Adviser; • discrepancies in excess of 0.2% between the market value and the amortised cost value of the portfolio will be brought to the attention of the Directors and the Custodian; • if discrepancies in excess of 0.3% between the market value and the amortised cost value of the portfolio occur a daily review must take place. The Directors will notify the Central Bank with an indication of the action, if any, which will be taken to reduce such dilution; and • weekly reviews and any engagement of escalation procedures are clearly documented. The Directors will monitor the use of the amortised cost method of valuation in order to ensure that this method continues to be in the best interests of the Members and to provide a fair valuation of the Investments of the fund. There may be periods during which the stated value of an instrument determined under the amortised cost method of valuation is higher or lower than the price which the fund would receive if the instrument were sold, and the accuracy of the amortised cost method of valuation can be affected by changes in interest rates and the credit standing of issuers of the fund’s investments. In the case of other funds, money market instruments may be valued on amortised basis provided that the money market instruments have a residual maturity not exceeding three months and have no specific sensitivity to market parameters, including credit risk. 6 (e) The Directors shall be entitled to adopt an alternative method of valuing any particular asset if they consider that the method of valuation herein set out does not provide a fair valuation of that asset and that such alternative method of valuation shall first have been approved by the Custodian. (f) In calculating the Net Asset Value of the assets:(i) every share allotted by the Company shall be deemed to be in issue and the assets shall be deemed to include not only the relevant cash and property in the hands of the Custodian but also the amount of any cash or other property to be received in respect of shares allotted; (ii) where Investments have been agreed to be purchased or sold but such purchase or sale has not been completed such Investments shall be included or excluded and the gross purchase or net sale consideration excluded or included as the case may require as if such purchase or sale had been duly completed; (iii) where notice of a repurchase of shares has been given to the Custodian but such cancellation has not been completed the Shares to be cancelled shall be deemed not to be in issue and the value of the assets shall be reduced by the amount payable to a Member upon such cancellation; (iv) where any amount in one currency is required to be converted into another currency the Directors may effect such conversion using such rates as the Directors shall determine at the relevant time except where otherwise specifically provided herein; (v) there shall be deducted from the assets the total amount of any actual or estimated liabilities properly payable including outstanding borrowings (if any) but excluding liabilities taken into account under sub-paragraph (ii) above and any estimated liability for tax on and such amount in respect of contingent or projected expenses as the Administrator considers fair and reasonable having regard to the provisions of the Prospectus and the Articles of Association of the Company; (vi) there shall be deducted from the value of any Investment in respect of which a call option has been written the value of such option calculated by reference to the lowest available market dealing offered price quoted on a regulated market or if no such price is available a price certified by a stockbroker or other person approved by the Custodian or such price as the Directors consider in the circumstances to be reasonable and which is approved by the Custodian; (vii) there shall be added to the assets a sum representing any interest or dividends accrued but not received and a sum representing unamortised expenses; (viii) there shall be added to the assets the amount (if any) available for distribution in respect of the last preceding Accounting Period but in respect of which no distribution has been declared; 7 (g) 10. there shall be deducted from the assets the total amount (whether actual or estimated by the Directors) of any other liabilities properly payable including accrued interest on borrowings (if any); (x) the value of assets shall be rounded upwards or downwards as appropriate to the nearest two decimal places; (xi) in the event that extraordinary circumstances render such a valuation impracticable or inadequate, the Company may with the consent of the Custodian, prudently, and in good faith, follow, until the termination of such circumstances, other generally recognised valuation principles approved by the Custodian in relation to specific assets in order to achieve a fair valuation of the assets of the Company; (xii) the Net Asset Value per share shall be rounded upwards or downwards as appropriate to the nearest four decimal places or as otherwise provided in the Prospectus; Without prejudice to their general powers to delegate their functions herein certified, the Directors may delegate any of their functions in relation to the calculation of Net Asset Value to the Administrator, to a committee of the Directors or to any other duly authorised person. In the absence of wilful misconduct or manifest error, every decision taken by the Directors or any committee of the Directors or by the Administrator or any duly authorised person on behalf of the Company in calculating the Net Asset Value shall be final and binding on the Company and on present, past or future Members.” RESOLVED that the articles of association of the Company be and are hereby amended by the deletion of Article 15(h) and the insertion of the following in its place:“(h) 11. (ix) The Company or a fund may invest in collective investment schemes subject to the conditions and limitations outlined in the Regulations and laid down by the Central Bank from time to time. Investments made by the Company with respect to a fund in units of other collective investment schemes may not exceed, in aggregate, 10 per cent. of the assets of that fund unless otherwise stated in the Prospectus. Subject to authorisation by the Central Bank, the Company or a fund may invest in a collective investment scheme (“underlying scheme”) managed by the same management company or any other company with which the management company is linked by common management or control or by a substantial direct or indirect holding, provided that the management company or such other company may not charge subscription or redemption fees on account of the investment of the Company or such fund in the underlying scheme.” RESOLVED that the articles of association be and are hereby amended by the deletion of the following text of Article 16(b): “within six months of the end of the financial year of the Company” 12. RESOLVED that the articles of association of the Company be and are hereby amended by the deletion of Article 18(b) and the insertion of the following in its place:“(b) No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present. Two Members present either in person or by proxy shall be a quorum for a general meeting, provided that, in the event that there is only one Member in a fund or class, the quorum shall be one Member present in person or by proxy at the meeting. A 8 representative of a corporation authorised pursuant to Article 19(m) to be present at any meeting of the Company shall be deemed to be a Member for the purpose of a quorum.” 13. RESOLVED that the articles of association of the Company be and are hereby amended by the deletion of Article 31 and the insertion of the following in its place:“31. NOTICES (a) Any notice or other document required to be served upon or sent to a Member shall be deemed to have been duly given if sent by post or left at his address as appearing on the Register or, with the consent of a Member, sent in electronic form by electronic means and in the case of joint Members if so done upon or to the first named on the Register or (save in the case of a notice of a general meeting of the Company) if either the full text of the notice or documents is published in a national daily newspaper in Ireland or such other publication as the Company may from time to time decide circulating in any country where the shares of the Company are marketed, or an advertisement is so published stating where copies of such notices or documents may be obtained. (b) Any notice or document sent by post to or left at the registered address of a Member or, with the consent of a Member, sent to the Member in electronic form by electronic means, shall notwithstanding that such Member be then dead or bankrupt and whether or not the Company has notice of his death or bankruptcy be deemed to have been duly served or sent and such service shall be deemed a sufficient service on receipt by all persons interested (whether jointly with or as claiming through or under him) in the shares concerned and such notice shall be deemed to have been received by the Member twentyfour hours after the time of posting or sending by electronic means. (c) Any certificate or notice or other document which is sent by post or left at the registered address of the Member named therein or dispatched by the Company in accordance with his instructions or, with the consent of a Member, sent to the Member in electronic form by electronic means, shall be so sent, left or dispatched at the risk of such Member and the giving, service or delivery thereof shall be deemed to have been effected at the expiration of twenty-four hours, after the cover containing it was posted or the certificate, notice or other document was sent in electronic form by electronic means. In proving service of delivery it shall be sufficient to prove that such cover was properly addressed, stamped and posted or where sent in electronic form by electronic means it was properly addressed. (d) The Company may in its sole discretion establish a scheme whereby electronic means may be used by Members to appoint a proxy for the purposes of voting at general meetings of the Company (the “Electronic Proxy Scheme”).

If you are in any doubt as to the action you should take you should seek advice from your investment consultant or other professional adviser. If you have sold or transferred all of your Shares in Janus Capital Funds plc (the “Company”) and any of its sub-funds, please pass this document at once to the purchaser or transferee or to the stockbroker, bank or other agent through whom the sale or transfer was effected for transmission to the purchaser or transferee as soon as possible. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalised terms used herein shall bear the same meaning as capitalised terms used in the latest prospectus of the Company (the “Prospectus”). A copy of the Prospectus is available upon request during normal business hours from the Administrator. Please note that the Central Bank of Ireland (the “Central Bank”) has not reviewed this letter. Dear Shareholder, RE: Approval of Proposed Amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association 1. INTRODUCTION The Company is authorised by the Central Bank as an open-ended investment company with variable capital incorporated under the laws of Ireland as a public limited company pursuant to the Companies Acts, 1963 to 2013 (the “Companies Acts”) and the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2011 (as amended) (the “UCITS Regulations”). The Company is organised as an umbrella fund with segregated liability between subfunds (each a “Fund”). The purpose of this letter is to explain, and seek your approval of, certain proposed amendments to the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association at the forthcoming annual general meeting of the Company (the “AGM”). 2. AMENDMENTS TO THE MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION The principal changes to be made are as follows: 2.1 Dilution adjustment It is proposed that the Articles of Association be amended to provide the Company with the flexibility to impose a dilution adjustment mechanism in certain circumstances, should it wish to do so. For instance, the Company may wish to impose a dilution adjustment on a day where there are large subscriptions or redemptions into or out of a Fund. In such circumstances, absent a dilution adjustment, the price at which the subscriptions or redemptions are effected would not reflect the costs of dealing in the underlying investments of the Fund in accommodating such large cash inflows or outflows, including dealing spreads, commissions and transfer taxes. Such costs could have a materially disadvantageous ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Directors: Mr. Augustus Cheh (US); Mr. Dennis Mullen (US); Mr. Carl O’Sullivan; Mr. Peter Sandys; Mr. Hans Vogel (Germany) An umbrella fund with segregated liability between sub-funds Registered No. 296610; Registered Address: as above JA032/001/AC#12382315.9 effect on the interests of existing Shareholders in the Fund. To prevent such dilution of the interests of existing Shareholders, a dilution adjustment may be applied to the Net Asset Value per Share, by increasing or decreasing the Net Asset Value per Share in case of large inflows into or outflows out of the Fund. The proposed change would allow the Directors, at their discretion, to adjust the Net Asset Value per Share of a Fund, for the purpose of reducing the effects of transaction charges and dealing spreads on Shareholders’ interest in a Fund. The practice of making such adjustments is commonly referred to as “swing pricing”, and it is intended to allocate the transaction charges and/or dealing spreads to the Shareholders whose subscriptions or repurchases are causing the Fund to purchase or sell investments. Where a dilution adjustment is made, it will increase the Net Asset Value per Share for a Fund where the Fund receives net subscriptions and reduce the Net Asset Value per Share for a Fund where the Fund receives net redemptions. The Directors propose that this amendment be made in order to provide the Company with additional flexibility. If this amendment is approved, and the Company determines to implement dilution adjustments, then before doing so for any Fund the Company will first update the Prospectus. The Custodian and affected Shareholders will also be notified prior to the implementation of a dilution adjustment. 2.2 Regulated markets A “Regulated Market” is currently defined in the Articles of Association as any stock exchange or regulated market which meets the criteria listed in Article 15 of the Articles of Association. It is proposed to simplify this definition by providing that a “Regulated Market” is any stock exchange or regulated market which meets the Central Bank’s regulatory criteria (i.e., regulated, operating regularly, recognised and open to the public) listed in Article 15 of the Articles of Association. 2.3 List of governments, local authorities or bodies It is proposed to update the list of governments, local authorities or bodies in which, subject to authorisation by the Central Bank and to the conditions and limitations outlined in the UCITS Regulations, the Company may invest 100% of the assets of any Fund to reflect updates to the UCITS investment restrictions template issued by the Central Bank. This list is contained in the amendments set out in Schedule A attached to this letter. 2.4 Investment objectives It is also proposed that the Articles of Association be amended to clarify that the statement in Article 15(d) of the Articles of Association that the Company will only invest in securities and derivative instruments which are listed or traded on a stock exchange or market (including derivative markets) which meets with the Central Bank’s regulatory criteria and which is listed in the Prospectus does not apply to permitted investments in units of open-ended collective investment schemes. 2.5 Repurchase and cancellation of Shares in satisfaction of a taxation liability It is proposed that the Articles of Association be amended to clarify the Company’s general authority to arrange for the repurchase and cancellation of Shares in satisfaction of a taxation liability includes any circumstances in which a taxation liability arises in connection with a Shareholder’s holding of Shares. This amendment shall provide the Company with the flexibility to accommodate taxation changes that have an impact on the Company. 2.6 Amendments to temporary suspension provisions It is proposed that the Company be provided with additional flexibility by amending the Articles of Association to provide that the Company may suspend temporarily the determination of the Net Asset Value of the Company and the sale or repurchase of Shares upon the occurrence of an event causing the Company or a Fund to enter into liquidation. It is also proposed to amend the Articles of Association to provide that the Company may suspend temporarily the determination of the Net Asset Value of the Company and the sale or repurchase of Shares during any period when for any reason the prices of any investments of the fund cannot be reasonably, promptly or accurately ascertained by the Company, rather than by the Administrator. 2.7 Amendments to valuation provisions It is proposed to generally update Article 13(b) of the Articles of Association to give the Company more flexibility in the valuation of assets of the Funds and to broaden the range of entities which the Company may, with the approval of the Custodian, appoint as a competent person to value certain securities. Firstly, it is proposed that all references to the valuation of assets by reference to “the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange on the relevant Dealing Day” be removed to give the Company more flexibility to accommodate different valuations points for the Funds. It is proposed that the Net Asset Value per Share of each fund shall be valued on each Dealing Day at the time specified in the Prospectus. It is also proposed to update Article 13(d) in relation to the valuation provisions for money market funds to reflect the current requirements of the Central Bank (as detailed in the amendments set out in Schedule A attached to this letter). 2.8 Investments in units of other collective investment schemes It is proposed to amend the Articles of Association to provide that investments made by a Fund in units of other collective investment schemes may not exceed, in aggregate, 10% the assets of that Fund unless otherwise stated in the Prospectus. This proposed change is intended to ensure that the Funds generally qualify as assets which are eligible for investment by other UCITS pursuant to the UCITS Regulations as, under Article 50(1)(e)(iv) of the UCITS IV Directive (Directive 2009/65/EC), UCITS may only invest in shares of another collective investment scheme where no more than 10% of the assets of such other collective investment scheme can, according to their fund rules or instruments of incorporation, be invested in aggregate in shares of other collective investment schemes. 2.9 Deletion of the provisions in relation to the holding of the AGM within six months of the financial year end It is proposed that the Articles of Association be amended to remove the requirement that each annual general meeting be held within six months of the financial year end. However, in accordance with Section 131(1) of the Companies Act, 1963 and as noted in Article 16(b) of the Articles of Association, no more than 15 months may elapse between each annual general meeting of the Company. The Directors propose that this amendment be made in order provide more flexibility for the convening of annual general meetings. 2.10 Amendment to quorum requirements It is proposed that the Articles of Association be amended to clarify that, in the event that there is only one Shareholder in a Fund or class, the quorum at general meetings of that Fund or class shall be one Shareholder present in person or by proxy at the meeting. 2.11 Ability to distribute Shareholder communications electronically and provision for electronic proxy scheme It is proposed to amend the Company’s Articles of Association to provide the Company with the flexibility to distribute in electronic form by electronic means any notice, other document or certificate required to be sent to a Shareholder, provided that the Shareholder to whom such notices or other documents are sent has consented to the provision of such notices or documents in electronic form by electronic means. It is proposed to provide the Company with the flexibility to introduce a scheme whereby electronic means may be used by Shareholders to appoint a proxy for the purposes of voting at general meetings. The introduction of such a scheme will remain at the discretion of the Company. 2.12 Other general changes It is also proposed that the Memorandum and Articles of Association be amended to update legislative citations of the Companies Acts and the UCITS Regulations. 3.

Yours sincerely, For and on behalf of Janus Capital Funds plc SCHEDULE A PRINCIPAL AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION 1. Dilution adjustment New definition of “Dilution Adjustment” in Article 1(a): “Dilution Adjustment” means an adjustment made to the Net Asset Value per share of a fund which adjustment is made for the purpose of reducing the effects of costs of dealing in the underlying investments of that fund, including any dealing spreads, commissions and transfer taxes, on Members’ interests in a fund. Insertion of new Article 12(b): (b) 2. Where the Directors determine to do so in the circumstances described more particularly in the Prospectus they may apply a Dilution Adjustment. The charging of a Dilution Adjustment may either reduce the repurchase price or increase the subscription price of the shares in a fund. Where a Dilution Adjustment is made, it will increase the Net Asset Value per share where the fund receives net subscriptions and reduce the Net Asset Value per share where the fund receives net redemptions. The Dilution Adjustment for each fund will be calculated by reference to the estimated costs of dealing in the underlying investments of that fund, including any dealing spreads, commissions and transfer taxes. The price of each class of share in a fund will be calculated separately but any Dilution Adjustment will affect the price of shares of each class in a fund in an identical manner. The amount of any Dilution Adjustment will be reviewed from time to time by the Company. Regulated markets Amendment of definition of “Regulated Market” in Article 1(a): “Regulated Market” means any stock exchange or regulated market in the European Union or a stock exchange or regulated market which is provided forwhich meets the criteria listed in Article 15 hereof. 3.

Repurchase and cancellation of Shares in satisfaction of a taxation liability Amendments to Article 10(j): (j) 6. In the event that the Company is required by any applicable laws, regulations, direction or guidance, or by any agreement with any tax or fiscal authority to deduct, withhold or account for tax on a disposal of shares held by a Member (whether upon a repurchase of shares, a transfer of shares or otherwise) or upon the payment of a distribution to a Member (whether in cash or otherwise), or in any other circumstances in which a tax liability arises in connection with a Member’s holding of shares, the Directors shall, acting in good faith and on reasonable grounds, be entitled to arrange for the repurchase and cancellation of such number of the shares of such Member as are sufficient after the deduction of any repurchase charges to discharge any such tax liability and the Directors may decline to register a transferee as a Member until such time as they receive from the transferee such declarations as to residency or status as they may require. The Custodian shall ensure that the repurchase proceeds are held for the purposes of discharging any applicable tax liability as aforesaid. Amendments to temporary suspension provisions Amendments to Article 12(b): (bc) The Company at any time may, but shall not be obliged to, temporarily suspend the determination of the Net Asset Value of the shares in any fund and the sale and repurchase of such shares, in the following instances:(i) any period (other than ordinary holiday or customary weekend closings) when any market is closed which is the main market for a significant part of the fund’s investments, or when trading thereon is restricted or suspended; (ii) any period during which disposal of investments which constitute a substantial portion of the assets of the fund is not practically feasible; 7. (iii) any period when for any reason the prices of any investments of the fund cannot be reasonably, promptly or accurately ascertained by an Administratorthe Company; (iv) any period when remittance of monies which will, or may, be involved in the realisation of, or in the payment for, investments of the fund cannot, in the opinion of the Directors, be carried out at normal rates of exchange; (v) any period when proceeds of the sale or repurchase of the Shares cannot be transmitted to or from the fund’s account; (vi) any period when the Company is considering the merger in relation to the Company, a fund or share class where in the opinion of the Directors such suspension is justified having regard to the interests of the Members; (vii) upon the occurrence of an event causing it or any fund to enter into liquidation; (viii) any other period where in the opinion of the Directors circumstances require such a suspension and it is justified having regard to the interests of the Members. Amendments to valuation provisions Amendments to Article 13: 13. VALUATION OF ASSETS (a) The Net Asset Value of the Company shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of this Article. (b) The Net Asset Value per share of each fund shall be valued on each Dealing Day by reference to the latest available prices quoted as of the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchangeat the time specified in the Prospectus. Any liabilities of the Company which are not attributable to any fund shall be allocated pro rata amongst all of the funds. (i) Assets listed or traded on a Regulated Market or over-the counter markets (other than those referred to at (v) and (vi) below) for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at the last quoted trade price as at the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange on the relevant Dealing Day, if unavailable or, in the opinion of the AdministratorCompany unrepresentative of fair market value, the latest middle market quotation (i.e. the mid price between the latest bid and offer prices) on the principal exchange in the market for such investment as at the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange on the relevant Dealing Day provided that the value of the investment listed on a Regulated Market but acquired or traded at a premium or at a discount outside or off the relevant stock exchange or on an over-the-counter market may be valued taking into account the level of premium or discount as at the date of valuation of the investment. The Custodian must ensure the adoption of such a procedure is justifiable in the context of establishing the probable realisation value of the security. If for specific assets the latest available prices do not, in the opinion of the AdministratorCompany, reflect their fair value, or if the prices areis unrepresentative or unavailable, the value shall be calculatedestimated with care and in good faith by the Administrator (being a competent person) appointed by the Directors or its duly appointed delegate and approved for that purpose by the Custodian, in consultation with the Investment Adviser on the basis of the probable realisation value for such assets as at the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange on the relevant Dealing Day. (ii) If the assets are listed or traded on several Regulated Markets, the last quoted trade price or latest middle market quotation on the Regulated Market which, in the opinion of the AdministratorCompany constitutes the main market for such assets, will be used. (iii) Inin the event that any of the investments on the relevant Dealing Day is not listed or traded on any Regulated Market, such security shall be valued at the probable realisation value determined with care and in good faith by the Administrator (the Administrator being approved by the Custodian as a competent person for such purpose) in consultation with the Investment Adviser. Such probable realisation value will be determined:appointed by the Directors or its duly (1) by using the original purchase price; (2) where there have been subsequent trades with substantial volumes, by using the last traded price provided the Administrator in consultation with the Investment Adviser considers such trades to be at arms’s length; (3) where the Administrator in consultation with the Investment Adviser believes the investment has suffered a diminution in value, by using the original purchase price which shall be discounted to reflect such a diminution; or (4) if the Administrator, in consultation with the Investment Adviser, believes a mid quotation from a broker is reliable, by using such a mid quotation or, if unavailable, a bid quotation. Alternatively, the Administrator, in consultation with the Investment Adviser, may use such probable realisation value estimated with care and in good faith as may be recommended by a competent professional appointed by the Administrator or the Investment Adviserdelegate and approved for that purpose by the Custodian for such purpose. Due to the nature of such unquoted securities and the difficulty in obtaining a valuation from other sources, such competent professional may be related to the Investment Adviser. (iv) cash and other liquid assets will be valued at their face value with interest accrued, where applicable, to the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange on the relevant Dealing Day;. (v) units or shares in collective investment schemes will be valued at the latest available net asset value or, if listed or traded on a Regulated Market, at the latest quoted trade price or, a mid-quotation (or, if unavailable, a bid quotation) or, if unavailable or unrepresentative, the latest available net asset value as deemed relevant to the collective investment scheme;. (vi) exchange traded derivative instruments will be valued at the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange on the relevant Dealing Day at the settlement price for such instruments on such market. Over-the-counter derivative instruments shall be valued daily using either the counterparty valuation or an alternative valuation, such as a valuation calculated by the Company or by an independent pricing vendor appointed by the Directors or its duly appointed delegate and approved for that purpose by the Custodian. Where the counterparty valuation is used, the valuation must be approved or verified by an independent party who is approved for the purpose by the Custodian at least weekly. Where an alternative valuation is used, such valuation shall be reconciled on a monthly basis to the valuation provided by the counterparty to such instrument. Forward foreign exchange contracts shall be valued by reference to the price at which a new forward contract of the same size and maturity could be undertaken as of the close of business on the Dealing Day. (vii) any value expressed otherwise than in US Dollars (whether of an investment or cash) and any non-US Dollar borrowing shall be converted into US Dollars at the rate (whether official or otherwise) which the AdministratorCompany deems appropriate in the circumstances. In the event of it being impossible or incorrect to carry out a valuation of a specific investment in accordance with the valuation rules set out in paragraphs (i) to (vii) above, or if such valuation is not representative of a security fair market value, the AdministratorCompany is entitled to use other generally recognised valuation principles in order to reach a proper valuation of that specific instrument, provided that such method of valuation has been approved by the Custodian. (c) The Directors, with the approval of the Custodian, may adjust the Net Asset Value per share when calculating realisation prices for any fund, to reflect the value of such fund’s investments assuming they were valued using the highest market bid price on the relevant market at the relevant time. The Directors’ intention is only to exercise this discretion to preserve the value of the holdings of continuing Members in the event of substantial or recurring net repurchases of shares in the relevant fund. (d) Provided that the intention to do so has been set out in the Prospectus, the assets of a fund may be valued using the amortised cost method of valuation whereby the Investments of the Companya fund are valued at their costs of acquisition, adjusted for and thereafter assuming an amortisation of premium or accretion ofto maturity of any discount on the investmentsor premium provided the valuation is in accordance with the requirements of the Central Bank. In the case of funds which invest solely in short term securities (money market funds), the amortised cost method of valuation shall be applied only in respect of securities with an interest rate refixing date of twelve months or less. Other funds may apply the amortised cost method to securities with a residualwhich meet the following criteria: have a maturity at issuance of up to and including 397 days; have a residual maturity of up to and including 397 days; undergo regular yield adjustments in line with the money market conditions at least every 397 days; and/or the risk profile, including credit and interest rate risks, corresponds to that of financial instruments which have a maturity of up to and including 397 days or are subject to a yield adjustment at least every 397 days. The weighted average maturity of the fund must not exceeding six months60 days. The Administrator shall review each week anywill carry out a weekly review of discrepancies between the market value of the assets and the value as determined by the amortised cost method of valuation. If at any time, however, the market value of any of the assets of any fund deviates by more than 0.5% from its value determined on an amortised cost basis, the pricing of such security will be reviewed. If the deviation is greater than 0.3% the Administrator will review the discrepancies on each Business Day until the deviation is less than 0.3%.the money market instruments. Escalation procedures should be put in place by the Company to ensure that: material discrepancies between the market value and the amortised cost value of a money market instrument are brought to the attention of the Investment Adviser; discrepancies in excess of 0.1% between the market value and the amortised cost value of the portfolio will be brought to the attention of the Directors and the Investment Adviser; discrepancies in excess of 0.2% between the market value and the amortised cost value of the portfolio will be brought to the attention of the Directors and the Custodian; if discrepancies in excess of 0.3% between the market value and the amortised cost value of the portfolio occur a daily review must take place. The Directors will notify the Central Bank with an indication of the action, if any, which will be taken to reduce such dilution; and weekly reviews and any engagement of escalation procedures are clearly documented. The Directors will monitor the use of the amortised cost method of valuation in order to ensure that this method continues to be in the best interests of the ShareholdersMembers and to provide a fair valuation of the iInvestments of the fund. There may be periods during which the stated value of an instrument determined under the amortised cost method of valuation is higher or lower than the price which the Ffund would receive if the instrument were sold, and the accuracy of the amortised cost method of valuation can be affected by changes in interest rates and the credit standing of issuers of the Ffund’s investments. Fixed coupon securities must have a maturity of 15 months or less if this method is to be adopted. This method can be applied to floating rate securities which (i) the Directors have determined will have a value that approximates their amortised cost valuation; (ii) have an annual or shorter interval coupon/interest rate refix; and (iii) have a residual maturity of 2 years or less. In the case of other funds, money market instruments may be valued on amortised basis provided that the money market instruments have a residual maturity not exceeding three months and have no specific sensitivity to market parameters, including credit risk. (e) The Directors shall be entitled to adopt an alternative method of valuing any particular asset if they consider that the method of valuation herein set out does not provide a fair valuation of that asset and that such alternative method of valuation shall first have been approved by the Custodian. (f) In calculating the Net Asset Value of the assets:(i) every share allotted by the Company shall be deemed to be in issue and the assets shall be deemed to include not only the relevant cash and property in the hands of the Custodian but also the amount of any cash or other property to be received in respect of shares allotted; (ii) where Investments have been agreed to be purchased or sold but such purchase or sale has not been completed such Investments shall be included or excluded and the gross purchase or net sale consideration excluded or included as the case may require as if such purchase or sale had been duly completed; (iii) where notice of a repurchase of shares has been given to the Custodian but such cancellation has not been completed the Shares to be cancelled shall be deemed not to be in issue and the value of the assets shall be reduced by the amount payable to a ShareholderMember upon such cancellation; (iv) where any amount in one currency is required to be converted into another currency the Directors may effect such conversion using such rates as the Directors shall determine at the relevant time except where otherwise specifically provided herein; (v) there shall be deducted from the assets the total amount of any actual or estimated liabilities properly payable including outstanding borrowings (if any) but excluding liabilities taken into account under sub-paragraph (ii) above and any estimated liability for tax on and such amount in respect of contingent or projected expenses as the Administrator considers fair and reasonable having regard to the provisions of the Prospectus and the Articles of Association of the Company; (vi) there shall be deducted from the value of any Investment in respect of which a call option has been written the value of such option calculated by reference to the lowest available market dealing offered price quoted on a regulated market or if no such price is available a price certified by a stockbroker or other person approved by the Custodian or such price as the Directors consider in the circumstances to be reasonable and which is approved by the Custodian; (vii) there shall be added to the assets a sum representing any interest or dividends accrued but not received and a sum representing unamortised expenses; (viii) there shall be added to the assets the amount (if any) available for distribution in respect of the last preceding Accounting Period but in respect of which no distribution has been declared; (ix) there shall be deducted from the assets the total amount (whether actual or estimated by the Directors) of any other liabilities properly payable including accrued interest on borrowings (if any); (x) the value of assets shall be rounded upwards or downwards as appropriate to the nearest two decimal places; (xi) in the event that extraordinary circumstances render such a valuation impracticable or inadequate, the Company may with the consent of the Custodian, prudently, and in good faith, follow, until the termination of such circumstances, other generally recognised valuation principles approved by the Custodian in relation to specific assets in order to achieve a fair valuation of the assets of the Company; (xii) (g) 8. the Net Asset Value per share shall be rounded upwards or downwards as appropriate to the nearest four decimal places or as otherwise provided in the Prospectus; Without prejudice to their general powers to delegate their functions herein certified, the Directors may delegate any of their functions in relation to the calculation of Net Asset Value to the Administrator, to a committee of the Directors or to any other duly authorised person. In the absence of wilful misconduct or manifest error, every decision taken by the Directors or any committee of the Directors or by the Administrator or any duly authorised person on behalf of the Company in calculating the Net Asset Value shall be final and binding on the Company and on present, past or future Members. Investments in units of other collective investment schemes Amendments to Article 15(h): (h) 9. The Company or a fund may invest in collective investment schemes subject to the conditions and limitations outlined in the Regulations and laid down by the Central Bank from time to time. Investments made by the Company with respect to a fund in units of other collective investment schemes may not exceed, in aggregate, 10 per cent. of the assets of that fund unless otherwise stated in the Prospectus. Subject to authorisation by the Central Bank, the Company or a fund may invest in a collective investment scheme (“underlying scheme”) managed by the same management company or any other company with which the management company is linked by common management or control or by a substantial direct or indirect holding, provided that the management company or such other company may not charge subscription or redemption fees on account of the investment of the Company or such fund in the underlying scheme. Deletion of the provisions in relation to the holding of the AGM within six months of the financial year end Amendments to Article 16(b): (b) 10. The Company shall in each year hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting in addition to any other meeting in that year. Not more than fifteen months shall elapse between the date of one annual general meeting of the Company and that of the next PROVIDED THAT the Company may hold its first annual general meeting within eighteen months of its incorporation. Subsequent annual general meetings shall be held once in each year within six months of the end of the financial year of the Company as determined by the Directors from time to time at such time and place in Ireland as may be determined by the Directors. Amendment to quorum requirements Amendments to Article 18(b): (b) No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present. Two Members present either in person or by proxy shall be a quorum for a general meeting, provided that, in the event that there is only one Member in a fund or class, the quorum shall be one Member present in person or by proxy at the meeting. A representative of a corporation authorised pursuant to Article 19(m) to be present at any meeting of the Company shall be deemed to be a Member for the purpose of a quorum. 11.
