NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS
RE: Inclusion of ETFs into Invesco's Securities Lending Programme and changes
to Securities Lending Levels
(each fund listed in Schedule 1 is a "Fund" and together the "Funds").
Dear Shareholder
We are writing to you as a Shareholder of the Fund/s, each a sub-fund of
Invesco Markets II plc (the "Company"), to inform you of changes relating to
the Fund's involvement in Invesco's securities lending programme (the
"Programme"). Funds/share classes and their corresponding ISINs can be found
in Schedule 1 attached to this notice.
Changes
Following a review of the collateral rules for the Programme, the Directors
have determined that the following changes will be made:
1) Funds which have ESG characteristics will be included in the
Programme, as set out in Schedule 1. Invesco believes the inclusion of the
Funds in the Programme will not compromise the ESG characteristics of the
Funds and will be beneficial to investors. The Fund's offering documents will
be updated accordingly.
a) For the fixed income Funds which have ESG characteristics as set
out in Schedule 1, the securities lending levels have been updated to show
that between 0% and 30% of the Fund's assets may be subject to securities
lending;
b) For the equity Funds which have ESG characteristics as set out in
Schedule 1, the securities lending levels have been updated to show that
between 0% and 15% of the Fund's assets may be subject to securities lending;
and
2) For the government bond Funds, as set out in Schedule 1, the
securities lending levels will be updated to show an increase in the Fund's
assets which may be subject to securities lending from between 0% and 30%, to
between 0% and 50%. The Directors have determined that this increase in
securities lending is appropriate, proportionate, and does not impact on the
Investment Manager's ability to manage and monitor the risks arising from the
increase in securities lending. This measure aims to increase consistency and
price competitiveness of Invesco's product range.
Effective Date
The Changes are subject to regulatory approval, and Invesco expects them to be
effective from on or around 13 March 2023. The Funds' offering documents will
be amended in due course to reflect these Changes, and will be available to
Shareholders free of charge.
Should you wish to redeem your shareholding as a result of the Changes, you
may do so in accordance with the dealing provisions outlined in the
Prospectus.
General
Shareholders may obtain the Prospectus, the key information document, the
latest annual and semi-annual reports and copies of the constitution of the
Company free of charge from the registered office of the Manager or the local
representatives in the countries where the Company is registered as well as
from the German information agent, Marcard Stein & Co AG, Ballindamm 36,
20095 Hamburg, Germany and on the website of the Company - etf.invesco.com or
- limited to the Prospectus, the key information documents - on the website of
