A copy of the circular can be obtained from the Issuer’s website at www.wisdomtree.eu

With effect from an “Effective Date” to be announced by the Issuer not less than 14 days prior to the effective date of the Consolidations, Affected Securities of each class will be consolidated into and become a smaller number of consolidated securities of the same class.

Any fractions of Affected Securities resulting from the Consolidations will be redeemed by the Issuer at the price for that class on the Effective Date.

If the Effective Date is not a Valuation Date in respect of that class of Affected Securities, they shall be redeemed at the price on the next Valuation Date. The Issuer will waive any redemption fee in respect of such redemptions.

The number of Affected Securities of any class to be consolidated into one consolidated security of that class is the “Specified Number”.

The Effective Date and the Specified Number in respect of each class will be announced by the Issuer by way of an announcement via RNS no later than 14 days prior to the Effective Date on each of the exchanges upon which the Affected Securities are admitted to trading. It is expected that the Consolidations will be effective and automatically reflected on the relevant registers and exchanges on the Effective Date.

In setting the Specified Number the Issuer is seeking to set the post-consolidation price of the Affected Securities at approximately the price indicated in the above table.

Impact on Investors

The price of an investor’s holding of any class of Affected Securities will not be affected by the Consolidations, other than in respect of the redemption of any resulting fractions.

Following the Consolidations an investor will hold fewer securities of the relevant class, but at a proportionately higher price. For example, if the Specified Number in respect of a class were 50 and an investor held 150 Affected Securities, then every 50 Affected Securities of that class would be consolidated into one consolidated security and post consolidation that investor would hold 3 Affected Securities of that class. The Consolidations will take effect as a combination of Affected Securities and therefore no new securities will be issued and only the resulting fractions of consolidated securities will be redeemed.

The aim of the Consolidations is that the price and Principal Amount of one consolidated security of any class immediately after the consolidations will be as close as possible to the aggregate price and Principal Amount of the Specified Number of securities of that class immediately prior to the Consolidations.

Although no new securities are being issued, following the Consolidations, new IE ISINs and new SEDOLs will be issued in respect of the consolidated securities of each class. The Issuer understands that neither new DE ISINs nor new WKNs will be issued. The Issuer will be disclosing the new security identifiers in an announcement by RNS no less than 14 days prior to the Effective Date. Exchange codes and tickers are expected to remain unchanged.

Documentation

The Consolidations will be implemented pursuant to an amendment to the Supplemental Trust Deed in respect of each class made between the Trustee, the Manager and the Issuer.

Further Announcements

No later than 14 days prior to the Effective Date the Issuer will release a further RNS on each of the exchanges upon which the Affected Securities are admitted to trading confirming the following in respect of each class of Affected Security:

  • the Effective Date of the Consolidations;

  • the Specified Number of securities of each class;

  • the new security identifiers for the consolidated securities of each class; and

  • the principal amounts of the consolidated securities.
