Capitalised terms used herein shall bear the same meaning as defined in the prospectus of

thereto dated 24 October 2023 (the "Prospectus") and the supplement in respect of the Fund,

RE: Notification of amendments to the supplement of the Fund.
Dear Investors
The ICAV is an open-ended investment vehicle with variable capital organised under the laws of
Ireland and is authorised by the Central Bank pursuant to the European Communities (Undertakings
for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2011, as amended. The Fund is a
sub-fund of the ICAV.
We want to inform you that the Fund does not qualify as an equity fund (Aktienfonds) for German tax
purposes and the partial tax exemption (Teilfreistellung) available for equity funds under the German
Investment Tax Act (Investmentsteuergesetz) is not applicable to the Fund and, therefore, the ICAV
will not be in a position to provide evidence that the investments of the Fund exceed the equity ratio
threshold for equity funds under the German Investment Tax Act.
This affects both retrospective and prospective financial outcomes related to the Fund for investors in
the Fund which are tax resident in Germany. Investors who have previously claimed this tax benefit
under the German Investment Tax Act should consult their tax advisors and inform their custodians
with whom they have deposited their fund units and should promptly communicate with their local
German tax authorities to rectify their tax records in accordance with this.
The "Taxation" section "German Investment Tax Act" in the Supplement for the Fund will be
removed:
"German Investment Tax Act
The ICAV seeks to maintain "equity fund" status for the Fund pursuant to Section 2 para. 6 and 7 of
the German Investment Tax Act 2018. Investors should consult their own professional advisers as to
the implications of the Fund maintaining "equity fund" status pursuant to the German Investment Tax
Act 2018. As at the date of this Fund Supplement, at least 51% of the Fund's assets will be continuously invested in equity assets as defined in Section 2 para. 8 of the German Investment Tax
Act 2018."
The revised Supplement will be updated on, or around, May 2024, subject to the approval of the
Central Bank.
Should you have any questions relating to the changes detailed above, you should contact your local
agent, or (if none) Global X ETFs on +44 (0)20 4529 2551 or europe@globalxetfs.com , or
alternatively you should contact your investment consultant, tax adviser and/or legal adviser as
appropriate.
Yours faithfully,
