Additional Adjustments - applicable
to the Leverage Shares -3x Short US Tech 100 ETP Securities &
Leverage Shares -3x Short US 500 ETP Securities only (the
"Inverse
Series"):
In addition to the above adjustments, which
will apply to all the Relevant Series, the Issuer hereby gives
notice of the increase to the inverse leverage factor from -3x to
-5x in respect of the Inverse Series only
(the "Leverage Factor
Increase").
The Investment Strategy Amendment will allow the
Relevant Series to meet the listing requirements of Euronext Milan.
Currently, providing sole exposure to the Reference Assets of the
Relevant Series does not meet the eligibility requirements for
listing on Euronext Milan. As such, following the implementation of
the Investment Strategy Amendment, Naming Modifications and
Leverage Factor Increase (collectively referred to herein as the
"Modifications"), it is
intended to list the Relevant Series on Euronext Milan. The listing
of the Relevant Series on Euronext Milan shall be notified, to ETP
Securityholders, in advance.
The Modifications shall be effective as at 17
September 2024.
Capitalised terms used, but not defined, in this
notice shall have the meaning given thereto in the Master
Definitions Schedule in relation to the Programme dated 17 July
2024.
