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 the following changes
to the Fund's commitment to make sustainable investments pursuant to
Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27
November 2019 on sustainability related disclosures in the financial services
sector ("SFDR"). Share classes along with ISINs can be found in Schedule I,
attached to this notice.

 

Background and Changes

 

The annexes of the Funds will be amended to clarify that the sustainable
investments of the Funds contribute to the objective of reduction of carbon
emissions in alignment with the Paris Agreement requirements. This
clarification is in line with the Commission's clarification that sustainable
investments can be measured at the level of a company and not only at the
level of a specific activity. Accordingly the Directors have determined that
it is appropriate to raise the minimum sustainable investment levels as
follows:

 

 Fund                                                               Minimum % of the Fund's NAV invested in sustainable investments
 Invesco MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Climate Paris Aligned UCITS ETF  60%
 Invesco MSCI Europe ESG Climate Paris Aligned UCITS ETF            80%
 Invesco MSCI Japan ESG Climate Paris Aligned UCITS ETF             80%
 Invesco MSCI USA ESG Climate Paris Aligned UCITS ETF               80%
 Invesco MSCI World ESG Climate Paris Aligned UCITS ETF             80%

 

These Changes are for SFDR purposes only and there is no change to the
investment objective or policy of the Funds as a result, with the Funds
continuing to seek to reduce their exposure to transition and physical climate
risks whilst pursuing opportunities arising from a transition to a lower
carbon economy and aligning with the Paris Agreement requirements.

 

Effective Date

 

The Changes will take effect on approval by the Central Bank of Ireland and
the Supplements will be amended in due course to reflect these Changes which
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
Supplements.
