STATUTES
In the year two thousand and five, on the fifteenth day of June.
Before Maître Blanche Moutrier, notary, residing in Esch-sur-Alzette (Grand Duchy of Luxembourg).
There appeared the following:
WALTON PRAGUE HOTEL INVESTORS IV, L.L.C., a limited liability company established and organised under the
laws of Delaware (United States of America), having its registered office at c/o The Corporation Trust Company, 1209
Orange Street, Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware 19801 (United States of America), registered with the Del-
aware Secretary of State under number 3948715, represented by Ms. Patricia Ferrante, attorney-at-law, residing in Lux-
embourg, by virtue of a proxy given in Chicago, Illinois (United States of America) on 10th June 2005.
The above mentioned proxy, after having been initialled and signed ne varietur by the appearing party and the under-
signed notary, will remain annexed to the present deed for the purpose of registration.
Such appearing party, duly represented, has requested the undersigned notary to draw-up the following articles of
incorporation of a private limited liability company («société à responsabilité limitée»):
Chapter I. Form, Corporate Name, Registered Office, Object, Duration
Art. 1. Form, Corporate Name. There is established by the appearing party and all persons who will become
shareholders thereafter a «société à responsabilité limitée» (the «Company») governed by the laws of the Grand Duchy
of Luxembourg, especially the law of August 10th, 1915 on commercial companies, as amended (the «Law»), by article
1832 of the Civil Code, as amended, and by the present articles of incorporation (the «Articles of Incorporation»).
The Company will exist under the name of WPH DALLION I, S.à r.l.
Art. 2. Registered Office. The Company will have its registered office in Luxembourg City.
The registered office may be transferred to any other place within the municipality of Luxembourg City by a resolu-
tion of the Managers.
Branches or other offices may be established either in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg or abroad by a resolution of
the Managers.
In the event that in the view of the Managers extraordinary political, economic or social developments occur or are
imminent that would interfere with the normal activities of the Company at its registered office or with the ease of
communications with such office or between such office and persons abroad, it may temporarily transfer the registered
office abroad, until the complete cessation of these abnormal circumstances. Such temporary measures will have no
effect on the nationality of the Company, which notwithstanding the temporary transfer of the registered office, will
remain a company governed by the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Such temporary measures will be taken
and notified to any interested parties by one of the bodies or persons entrusted with the daily management of the Com-
pany.
Art. 3. Object. The object of the Company is the direct and indirect acquisition and holding of participating inter-

divided into one hundred twenty-five (125) shares, with a nominal value of one hundred euro (EUR 100.-) each, all of
which are fully paid up.
In addition to the share capital, there may be set up a premium account into which any premium paid on any share
in addition to its par value is transferred. The amount of the premium account may be used to provide for the payment
of any shares, which the Company may redeem from its shareholders, to offset any net realised losses, to make distri-
butions to the shareholders or to allocate funds to the legal reserve.
Art. 6. Shares. Each share entitles its owner to equal rights in the profits and assets of the Company and to one
vote at the general meetings of shareholders. Ownership of a share carries implicit acceptance of the Articles of Incor-
poration of the Company and the resolutions of the sole shareholder or the general meeting of shareholders.
Each share is indivisible as far as the Company is concerned.

Art. 7. Increase and Reduction of the Share Capital. The share capital of the Company may be increased or
reduced one or several times by a resolution of the sole shareholder or by a resolution of the general meeting of share-

Law for any amendment of these Articles of Incorporation.
Art. 8. Incapacity, Bankruptcy or Insolvency of a Shareholder. The incapacity, bankruptcy, insolvency or any

shareholders or not (the «Manager(s)»).
Each Manager is appointed for a limited or unlimited duration by the sole shareholder or by the general meeting of
shareholders, as the case may be.
While appointing the Managers, the sole shareholder or the general meeting of shareholders, as the case may be,
set(s) their number, the duration of their tenure and, as the case may be, the powers and competence of the Managers.
The sole shareholder or, as the case may be, the general meeting of shareholders may decide to remove a Manager,
with or without cause. Each Manager may resign as well. The sole shareholder or, as the case may be, the general meet-
ing of shareholders decide upon the compensation of each Manager.
Art. 10. Powers of the Managers. The Managers are vested with the broadest powers to perform all acts neces-
sary or useful for accomplishing the Company’s object. All powers not expressly reserved by the Law or by these Ar-
ticles of Incorporation to the sole shareholder or the general meeting of shareholders are in the competence of the
Managers.
Art. 11. Liability of the Managers. No Manager commits itself, by reason of its functions, to any personal obliga-
tion in relation to the commitments taken on behalf of the Company. It is only liable for the performance of its duties.
Art. 12. Delegation of Powers. The Managers may delegate special powers or proxies, or entrust determined
permanent or temporary functions to persons or agents chosen by them.
Art. 13. Conflict of Interests. No contract or other transaction between the Company and any other company
or firm shall be affected or invalidated by the fact that any one or more of the Managers or any officer of the Company
has a personal interest in, or is a manager, associate, member, officer or employee of such other company or firm. Ex-
cept as otherwise provided for hereafter, any Manager or officer of the Company who serves as a manager, associate,
officer or employee of any company or firm with which the Company shall contract or otherwise engage in business
shall not, by reason of such affiliation with such other company or firm, be automatically prevented from considering
and voting or acting upon any matters with respect to such contract or other business.
Notwithstanding the above, in the event that any Manager of the Company may have any personal interest in any
transaction of the Company, he shall make known to the Managers such personal interest and shall not consider or vote
on any such transaction, and such transaction and such Manager’s or officer’s interest therein shall be reported to the
sole shareholder or to the next general meeting of shareholders.

by the Law, entrusted to one or more auditors who need not be shareholders.

may be, which will determine the number of such auditors, for a period not exceeding six years, and they will hold office
until their successors are elected. At the end of their term as auditors, they shall be eligible for re-election, but they
may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the sole shareholder or by the general meeting of shareholders,
as the case may be, by a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders.

not applicable to that situation.
If the Company is composed of no more than twenty five (25) shareholders, the decisions of the shareholders may
be taken by a vote in writing on the text of the resolutions to be adopted, which will be sent by the Managers to the
54831
shareholders by registered mail. In this latter case, the shareholders are under the obligation to, within a delay of fifteen
days as from the receipt of the text of the proposed resolution, cast their written vote and mail it to the Company.
Unless there is only one sole shareholder, the shareholders may meet in a general meeting of shareholders upon call
in compliance with the Law by the Managers, subsidiarily, by the auditor or, more subsidiarily, by shareholders repre-
senting more than half the corporate capital. The notice sent to the shareholders in accordance with the law will specify
the time and place of the meeting as well as the agenda and the nature of the business to be transacted.
If all the shareholders are present or represented at a general meeting of shareholders and if they state that they have
been informed of the agenda of the meeting, the meeting may be held without prior notice.
A shareholder may act at any meeting of the shareholders by appointing in writing or by fax as his proxy another
person who need not be a shareholder.
General meetings of shareholders, including the annual general meeting, may be held abroad if, in the judgement of
the management, which is final, circumstances of force majeure so require.
Art. 17. Powers of the Meeting of Shareholders. Any regularly constituted general meeting of shareholders of
the Company represents the entire body of shareholders.
Subject to all the other powers reserved to the Managers by the Law or these Articles of Incorporation, it has the
broadest powers to carry out or ratify acts relating to the operations of the Company.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and prior to the approval by the Managers where it is required, the
actions set forth in items (1) through (5) below shall be approved by the sole shareholder or by the general meeting of
shareholders, as the case may be:
1. the sale, transfer or other disposal of any assets of the Company or any portion thereof;
2. the borrowing of money, whether on a secured or unsecured basis, by the Company;
3. any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any entity (or any action that has substantially the same
effect or commits the Company to merge with or into any entity), any demerger or conversion into another entity (or
any action that has substantially the same effect or commits the Company to any similar corporate transactions);
4. the filing of a voluntary petition or otherwise initiating proceedings to have the Company adjudicated bankrupt or
insolvent, or consenting to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Company, or filing of a
petition seeking or consenting to the reorganization or relief of the Company as debtor under any applicable law relating
to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors with respect to the Company, or seeking or consenting to the
appointment of any trustee, receiver, conservator, assignee, sequestrator, custodian, liquidator (or similar official) of the
Company or of all or any substantial part of the Company’s assets, or making any general assignment for the benefit of
creditors of the Company; and
5. the acquisition of any other participating interests or other property by the Company.

than 25 shareholders, will be held at the registered office of the Company or at such other place as may be specified in
the notice convening the meeting on the second Tuesday of the month of May at 10 a.m.
If such day is a public holiday, the meeting will be held on the next following business day.
Art. 19. Procedure, Vote. Any resolution whose purpose is to amend the present Articles of Incorporation or
whose adoption is subject by virtue of these Articles of Incorporation or, as the case may be, the Law to the quorum
and majority rules set for the amendment of the Articles of Incorporation will be taken by a majority of shareholders
representing at least three quarters of the share capital.
Except as otherwise required by the Law or by the present Articles of Incorporation, all other resolutions will be
taken by shareholders representing more than half of the share capital.
One vote is attached to each share.
Copies or extracts of the minutes of the meeting to be produced in judicial proceedings or otherwise will be signed

agers draw up an inventory of assets and liabilities, the balance sheet and the profit and loss account, in accordance with
the Law.
The balance sheet and the profit and loss account are submitted to the sole shareholder or, as the case may be, to
the general meeting of shareholders for approval.
Each shareholder or its attorney-in-fact may inspect these financial documents at the registered office of the Com-
pany. If the Company is composed of more than 25 shareholders, such right may only be exercised within a time period
of fifteen days preceding the date set for the annual general meeting of shareholders.
Art. 22. Appropriation of Profits. From the annual net profits of the Company, five per cent (5%) shall be allo-
cated to the reserve required by the Law. That allocation will cease to be required as soon and as long as such reserve
amounts to ten per cent (10%) of the subscribed share capital of the Company.
The sole shareholder or the general meeting of shareholders shall determine how the remainder of the annual net
profits will be disposed of. It may decide to allocate the whole or part of the remainder to a reserve or to a provision
reserve, to carry it forward to the next following financial year or to distribute it to the shareholders as dividend.
The sole shareholder or, as the case may be, the shareholder’s meeting deliberating in the same manner provided for
amendments to the Articles of Incorporation may decide to pay interim dividends on the basis of the statement of ac-
54832
counts prepared by the Managers showing sufficient funds available for distribution, provided that the amount to be dis-
tributed does not exceed profits realized since the end of the financial year increased by profits carried forward and
distributable reserves and decreased by losses carried forward and any sums to be allocated to the reserves required
by the Law or by the Articles of Incorporation.
Chapter VI. Dissolution, Liquidation
Art. 23. Dissolution, Liquidation. The Company may be dissolved by a decision of the sole shareholder or by a
decision of the general meeting of shareholders voting with the same quorum and majority as for the amendment of
these Articles of Incorporation, unless otherwise provided by the Law.
Should the Company be dissolved, the liquidation will be carried out by one or more liquidators (who may be physical
persons or legal entities) appointed by the sole shareholder or by the general meeting of shareholders, which will de-
termine their powers and their compensation.
After payment of all the debts of and charges against the Company and of the expenses of liquidation, the net assets
shall be distributed equally to the holders of the shares pro rata to the number of the shares held by them.

Art. 20. Année Sociale. L’année sociale de la Société commence le premier jour du mois de janvier et finit le der-
nier jour du mois de décembre.
Art. 21. Approbation des Comptes Annuels. A la fin de chaque année sociale, les comptes sont arrêtés et le
Gérant dresse un inventaire des biens et des dettes et établit le bilan et le compte de profits et pertes conformément
à la loi.
Le bilan et le compte de profits et pertes sont soumis à l’agrément de l’associé unique ou, le cas échéant, à l’assemblée
générale des associés.
Tout associé ou son mandataire, peuvent prendre connaissance de ces documents financiers au siège social de la So-
ciété. Si la Société a plus de vingt-cinq (25) associés, ce droit ne peut être exercé que pendant les quinze jours qui pré-
cèdent la date de l’assemblée générale ordinaire des associés.
Art. 22. Affectation des Bénéfices. Sur les bénéfices nets de la Société il sera prélevé cinq pour cent (5%) pour
la formation d’un fonds de réserve légale. Ce prélèvement cesse d’être obligatoire lorsque et aussi longtemps que la
réserve légale atteindra dix pour cent (10%) du capital social souscrit de la Société.
L’associé unique ou l’assemblée générale des associés décident de l’affectation du solde des bénéfices annuels nets.
Elle peut décider de verser la totalité ou une part du solde à un compte de réserve ou de provision, de le reporter à
nouveau ou de le distribuer aux associés comme dividendes.
L’associé unique ou, le cas échéant, l’assemblée générale des associés peuvent décider, dans les conditions de quorum
et de majorité requises pour la modification des Statuts, de verser des acomptes sur dividendes sur la base de comptes
intérimaires établis par les Gérants, faisant apparaître assez de fonds disponibles pour une telle distribution, étant en-
tendu que le montant à distribuer ne devra pas excéder les profits à reporter et les réserves distribuables, mais diminué
des pertes reportables ainsi que des montants à allouer à une réserve à constituer par la Loi ou par les Statuts.
Chapitre VI. Dissolution, Liquidation
Art. 23. Dissolution, Liquidation. La Société peut être dissoute par une décision de l’associé unique ou par l’as-
semblée générale des associés délibérant aux mêmes conditions de quorum et de majorité que celles exigées pour la
modification des Statuts, sauf dispositions contraires de la Loi.
En cas de dissolution de la Société, la liquidation s’effectuera par les soins d’un ou de plusieurs liquidateurs (personnes
physiques ou morales), nommées par l’associé unique ou par l’assemblée générale des associés qui détermineront leurs
pouvoirs et leurs émoluments.
Après paiement de toutes les dettes et charges de la Société et de tous les frais de liquidation, l’actif net sera reparti
équitablement entre tous les associés au prorata du nombre de parts qu’ils détiennent.
Chapitre VII. Loi Applicable

the Corporation to Part I of the law of 20 December 2002 on undertakings for collective investment (the «2002 Law»)
implementing into Luxembourg law the UCITS Directive EEC/85/611, as amended, and in particular the following
amendments:
1. Replacement of any reference in the Articles to the law of 30 March 1988 relating to undertakings for collective
investment by a reference to the 2002 Law.
2. Amendment of the content of Article 3 of the Articles, so as to read as follows:
«Art. 3. Purpose. The exclusive object of the Corporation is to place the funds available to it in transferable secu-
rities and other liquid financial assets permitted by the law of 20 December 2002 on undertakings for collective invest-
ment (the «2002 Law»), with the purpose of spreading investment risks and affording its shareholders the results of the
management of its portfolio.
The Corporation may take any measures and carry out any operation which it may deem useful in the accomplish-
ment and development of its purposes to the full extent permitted by the 2002 Law or any legislative replacements or
amendments thereof.».
3. Amendment of the content of Article 5 of the Articles, so as to read as follows:
«Art. 5. Share Capital - Portfolios- Classes of Shares. The corporate capital shall be at any time equal to the
total net assets of the Corporation (the «Net Asset Value») as defined in Article 24 hereof and shall be represented by
shares of no par value (the «Shares»).
The Board may decide if and from which date Shares shall be offered for sale, those Shares to be issued on terms and
conditions as shall be decided by the Board which may include a front end sales charge or a contingent deferred sales
charge.
Such Shares may, as the Board shall determine, be of different portfolios of assets (each a «Portfolio») within the
meaning of article 133 of the 2002 Law, (which may, as the Board shall determine, be denominated in different curren-
cies) and the proceeds of the issue of Shares in each Portfolio shall be invested pursuant to Article 3 hereof in securities
or other assets corresponding to such geographical areas, industrial sectors or monetary zones or such specific types
of equity or debt securities as the Board shall from time to time determine with respect of each Portfolio.
The Board may further decide to create within each Portfolio two or more classes of Shares whose assets will be
commonly invested pursuant to the specific investment policy of the Portfolio concerned but where a specific dividend
policy (e.g. Dividend and Accumulation Shares), sales and redemption charge structure, hedging policy or other specific
feature is applied to each class of Shares.
For the purpose of determining the capital of the Corporation, the net assets attributable to each Class, if not de-
nominated in U.S. dollars, shall be converted into U.S. dollars, and the capital shall be the total of the net assets of all
the Classes. Reference in these Articles to Shares shall be construed as meaning a Share of any class within a Portfolio.
The minimum share capital of the Corporation shall be the equivalent in U.S. dollars of one million two hundred fifty-
thousand euros (EUR 1,250,000).
The Board is authorised without limitation to issue at any time further fully paid Shares at the applicable Net Asset
Value per Share of the relevant class determined in accordance with Article 24 hereof, without reserving to the existing
shareholders of the Corporation a preferential right of subscription to the additional Shares to be issued.
The Board may delegate to any Director or duly authorised officer of the Corporation or to any duly authorised
person the power and duty to accept subscriptions and to receive payment for such new Shares and to deliver these
remaining always within the provisions of the 2002 Law.
The offering price and the price at which Shares of each class are redeemed, as well as the Net Asset Value per Share
of each class, shall be available and may be obtained at the registered office of the Corporation.
The Board may create each Portfolio for an unlimited or limited period of time; in the latter case, the Board may, at
the expiry of the initial period of time, extend the duration of the relevant Portfolio once or several times. At the expiry
of the duration of a Portfolio, the Corporation shall redeem all the Shares in the relevant class(es) of Shares, in accord-
ance with Article 21 below, notwithstanding the provisions of Article 31 below.
54842
At each extension of a Portfolio, the registered shareholders shall be duly notified in writing, by a notice sent to their
registered address as recorded in the Register of Shareholders of the Corporation. The Corporation shall inform the
bearer shareholders by a notice published in a Luxembourg newspaper and in such other newspapers to be determined
by the Board, unless these shareholders and their addresses are known to the Corporation. The sales documents for
the Shares of the Corporation shall indicate the duration of each Portfolio and, if appropriate, its extension.»
4. Amendment of the content of Article 6 of the Articles, so as to read as follows:
«Art. 6. Form of Shares. The Board shall determine whether the Corporation shall issue Shares in bearer and/or
in registered form.
Share certificates (hereinafter «Certificates») of the relevant class may be issued if the Board so authorizes and dis-
closes in the current prospectus for registered Shares or, for bearer Shares with coupons attached in such denomina-
tions as the Board shall decide.
The Corporation may issue temporary Certificates or Share confirmations, or any other document confirming own-
ership of the Shares in such form as the Board may from time to time determine.
If a bearer shareholder requests the exchange of his or her certificates for certificates in other denominations or the
exchange into registered Shares, he or she may be charged with the cost of such exchange.
In the case of registered Shares, where a shareholder does not elect to obtain Share certificates, he or she will receive
instead a confirmation of his or her shareholding. If a registered shareholder desires that more than one Share certificate
be issued for his or her Shares, the cost of such additional certificates may be charged to such shareholder.
Share Certificates shall be signed by two Directors. Such signatures may be either manual, or printed, or facsimile.
However, one of such signatures may be by a person delegated to this effect by the Board; in the latter case, it shall be
manual.
Shares shall be issued only upon acceptance of the subscription and receipt of payment of the purchase price. The
subscriber will, without undue delay, upon acceptance of the subscription and receipt of the purchase price, receive title
to the Shares purchased by him or her.
Shares may also be issued upon acceptance of the subscription against contribution in kind of securities and other
liquid financial assets compatible with the investment policy and the object of the relevant Portfolio, in compliance with
the conditions set forth by Luxembourg law and in particular the obligation to deliver a valuation report from the auditor
of the Corporation. If payment made by a subscriber results in the issue of a registered Share fraction, such fraction
shall be entered in the Register of Shareholders. It shall not be entitled to vote but shall, to the extent the Corporation
shall determine, be entitled to a corresponding fraction of the dividend. In case of bearer Shares, only certificates evi-
dencing full Shares will be issued.
For Dividend Shares, payments of dividends to holders of registered Shares will be made to such shareholders at their
addresses as they appear in the register of shareholders (the «Register»).
Payments of dividends to holders of bearer Shares will be made to such shareholders upon presentation of the rele-
vant dividend coupons to the agent or agents appointed by the Corporation for such purpose.
A dividend declared but not paid on a Share, namely when no coupon is tendered for such dividend within a period
of five years from the payment date thereof, cannot thereafter be claimed by the holder of such Share unless the Board
has waived or extended such period in respect of all Shares, and shall otherwise revert to the Corporation. The Board
shall have power from time to time to take all steps necessary and to authorize such action on behalf of the Corporation
to perfect such reversion. No interest will be paid on dividends declared, pending their collection.
All issued registered Shares shall be registered in the Register which shall be kept by the Corporation or by one or
more persons designated for such purpose by the Corporation. The Register shall contain the name of each holder of
registered Shares, his or her residence or elected domicile so far as notified to the Corporation, the number and class
of Shares held by him or her and the amount paid in on each such Share. Every transfer of a registered Share shall be
entered in the Register and every such entry shall be signed by one or more officers of the Corporation or by one or
more persons designated by the Board.
In the case of bearer Shares, title shall pass by delivery of the relevant bearer Share Certificates.
Transfer of registered Shares shall be effected:
(i) if Share Certificates have been issued by inscription of the transfer to be made by the Corporation upon delivering
of the Certificate or Certificates to the Corporation along with other instruments of transfer satisfactory to the Cor-
poration or
(ii) if no Share Certificates have been issued, by a written declaration of transfer inscribed in the Register, dated and
signed by the transferor and by the transferee, or by persons holding suitable powers of attorney to act therefore.
In case of bearer Shares the Corporation may consider the bearer, and in the case of registered Shares the Corpo-
ration shall consider the person in whose name the Shares are registered in the Register, as owner of the Shares.
Each registered shareholder must provide the Corporation with an address. All notices and announcements from the
Corporation to shareholders may be sent to such address which will also be entered in the Register.
In the event that a shareholder does not provide such an address, the Corporation may permit a notice to this effect
to be entered in the Register and his or her address will be deemed to be at the registered office of the Corporation
or such other address as may be so entered by the Corporation from time to time, until another address shall be pro-
vided to the Corporation.
The shareholder may, at any time, change his or her address as entered in the Register by means of a written notifi-
cation to the Corporation at its registered office, or at such other address as may be set by the Corporation from time
to time.»

5. Amendment of the content of the former Article 15 of the Articles, newly Article 16 of the Articles, so as to read
as follows:
«Art. 16. Investment Policy. The Board shall, applying the principle of spreading of risks, have the power to de-
termine:
(a) the corporate and investment policy for the investments relating to each Portfolio and the pool of assets relating
thereto;
(b) the hedging strategy, if any, to be applied to each Portfolio and to specific classes of Shares within particular Port-
folios; and
(c) the course of conduct of the management and business affairs of the Corporation.
The Board has in particular power to determine the corporate policy and the course of conduct of the management
and business affairs of the Corporation, provided however that the Corporation shall not effect such investments or
activities as shall fall under such investment restrictions as may be imposed by the 2002 Law or be laid down in the laws
and regulations of those countries where the Shares are offered for sale to the public or as shall be adopted from time
to time by resolutions of the Board and as shall be described in any prospectus.
In particular, the Board shall also determine any restrictions which shall from time to time be applicable to the in-
vestments of each Portfolio, including without limitation, restrictions with respect to:
(a) the borrowings of each Portfolio and hedging of its assets; and
(b) the maximum percentage of the assets of each Portfolio which may be invested in any form or class of security
and the maximum percentage of any form or class of security which it may acquire.
In the determination and implementation of the investment policy the Board may cause the assets of the Corporation
to be invested in:
(a) transferable securities and money market instruments;
(b) shares or units of other undertakings for collective investment;
(c) deposits with credit institutions, which are repayable on demand or have the right to be withdrawn and which are
maturing in no more than 12 months;
(d) financial derivatives instruments.
The investment policy of the Corporation may replicate the composition of an index of equity securities or debt se-
curities recognized by the Luxembourg supervisory authority.
The Corporation may in particular purchase the above mentioned assets on any regulated market or stock exchange
in the European Union or in any other regulated market or stock exchange outside of the European Union, or of any
State of America, Africa, Asia, Australia or Oceania as specified in the sales documents of the Shares of the Corporation.
The Corporation may also invest in recently issued transferable securities and money market instruments, provided
that the terms of issue include an undertaking that application will be made for admission to official listing on a regulated
market or stock exchange in the European Union or in any other regulated market or stock exchange outside of the
European Union and that such admission be secured within one year of the issue.
The Corporation may invest up to a maximum of 35%, of the net assets of any class in transferable securities issued
or guaranteed by a Member State, its local authorities, by another Eligible State or by public international bodies of which
one or more Member States are members.
In accordance with the principle of risk spreading, the Corporation is authorised to invest up to 100% of the net
assets attributable to each Portfolio in transferable securities and money market instruments issued or guaranteed by a
Member State of the European Union, by its local authorities, another Member State of the Organisation for Economic
Cooperation and Development («OECD») or by a public international body of which one or more Member State(s) of
the European Union are member(s), being provided that if the Corporation uses the possibility described above, it shall
hold, on behalf of each relevant Portfolio, securities belonging to six different issues at least. The securities belonging to
one issue cannot exceed 30% of the total net assets attributable to that Portfolio.
The Board, acting in the best interest of the Corporation, may decide that
(a) all or part of the assets of the Corporation will be co-managed with assets belonging to other collective investment
schemes; or that
(b) all or part of the assets of any Portfolio be co-managed amongst themselves.
Investments of the Corporation may be made either directly or indirectly through wholly-owned intermediate sub-
sidiaries incorporated in any suitable jurisdiction and carrying on management activities exclusively for the Corporation,
and primarily, but not solely, for the purposes of greater tax efficiency. Any reference in these Articles to «investments»
and «assets» shall mean, as appropriate, either investments made and assets beneficially held directly or investments
made and assets beneficially held indirectly through the aforesaid subsidiaries.
The Corporation is authorised:
(a) to employ techniques and instruments relating to transferable securities and money market instruments provided
that such techniques and instruments are used for the purpose of efficient portfolio management; and
(b) to employ techniques and instruments intended to provide protection against exchange risks in the context of
the management of its assets and liabilities as described in the sales documents for the Shares of the Corporation.»
6. Amendment of the content of the former Article 19 of the Articles, newly Article 20 of the Articles, so as to read
as follows:
«Art. 20. Auditor. The Corporation shall appoint an independent and external auditor («réviseur d’entreprises
agréé») who shall carry out the duties prescribed by the 2002 Law. The auditor shall be elected by the general meeting
of shareholders and shall hold office until his or her successor is elected.»
54844
7. Amendment of the content of the former Article 22 of the Articles, newly Article 23 of the Articles, so as to read
as follows:
«Art. 23. Frequency and Temporary Suspension of Calculation of the Net Asset Value per Share. The
Net Asset Value per Share and the issue and redemption prices of each class shall be determined in the currency in
which the relevant class of Shares is expressed at least twice a month, on each day determined by the Board on which
banks are open for business in Luxembourg and in such other place(s) as may be determined by the Board and disclosed
in the Prospectus («Valuation Date»).
The Corporation may temporarily suspend the determination of the Net Asset Value, the issue of Shares and the
right of each shareholder to require redemption or exchange of Shares of any Portfolio:
(a) during any period when any of the principal stock exchanges, regulated market or any other regulated market in
a member state or in an other state, on which a substantial portion of the Corporation’s investments attributable to
such Portfolio is quoted, or when one or more foreign exchange markets in the currency in which a substantial portion
of the assets of the Portfolio is denominated, are closed otherwise than for ordinary holidays or during which dealings
are substantially restricted or suspended; or
(b) political, economic, military, monetary or other emergency beyond the control, liability and influence of the Cor-
poration makes the disposal of the assets of any Portfolio impossible under normal conditions or such disposal would
be detrimental to the interests of the shareholders;
(c) during any breakdown in the means of communication network normally employed in determining the price of
any of the relevant Portfolio’s investments or the current prices on any market or stock exchange or any other reason
makes it impossible to determine the value of a major portion of the assets of any Portfolio; or
(d) during any period when remittance or transfer of monies which will or may be involved in the realization of, or
in the payment of the relevant Portfolio’s investments or in the redemption of Shares is not possible or where it can be
objectively demonstrated that purchases and sales of the assets of any Portfolio cannot be effected at normal prices; or
(e) in case of a decision to liquidate the Corporation or a Portfolio, on and after the day of publication of the first
notice convening the general meeting of shareholders for this purpose or given to this effect.
The Corporation shall suspend the issue, the exchange and redemption of Shares of any class within a Portfolio forth-
with upon the occurrence of an event causing it to enter into liquidation or upon the order of the Luxembourg super-
visory authority.
Any suspension shall be published, if appropriate, by the Corporation and shareholders requesting redemption or
exchange of their Shares shall be notified by the Corporation of the suspension at the time of the filing of the written
request for such exchange and redemption.
The suspension as to any Portfolio will have no effect on the determination of Net Asset Value and the issue, re-
demption or exchange of Shares in any class of the other Portfolios.».
8. Amendment of the content of the former Article 21 of the Articles, newly Article 24 of the Articles, so as to read
as follows:
«Art. 24. Calculation of the Net Asset Value per Share. The Net Asset Value per Share of each class of each
Portfolio shall be expressed as a per Share figure and shall be determined in respect of any Valuation Date by dividing
the value of the total assets of the relevant class of each Portfolio less the liabilities attributable to such class, by the
total number of outstanding Shares of the relevant class.
If since the last valuation of the relevant date there has been a material change in the quotations on the markets on
which a substantial portion of the investments of the Corporation attributable to a particular Portfolio to which the
relevant class of shares belong are dealt or quoted, the Corporation may, in order to safeguard the interests of the
shareholders and of the Corporation, cancel the first valuation and carry out a second valuation, provided that in such
case all subscriptions, exchanges and redemptions to be effected on the basis of the first valuation must be made on the
basis of such second valuation.
The Net Asset Value per Share is stated in the currency in which the relevant class of such Portfolio’s Shares is de-
nominated.
The calculation of the Net Asset Value of the different classes of Shares shall be made in the following manner.
The assets of the Corporation shall be deemed to include:
(1) all cash on hand or on deposit, including any interest accrued thereon;
(2) all bills and demand notes and accounts receivable (including proceeds of securities sold but not delivered) except
those receivable from a subsidiary of the Corporation;
(3) all bonds, time notes, shares, stock, debenture stocks, subscription rights, warrants, options and other invest-
ments and securities owned or contracted for by the Corporation;
(4) all stock, stock dividends, cash dividends and cash distributions receivable by the Corporation to the extent in-
formation thereon is reasonably available to the Corporation (provided that the Corporation may make adjustments
with regard to fluctuations in the market value of securities caused by trading ex-dividends, ex-rights, or by similar prac-
tices);
(5) all interest accrued on any interest-bearing securities owned by the Corporation, except to the extent that the
same is included or reflected in the principal amount of such security;
(6) the preliminary expenses of the Corporation insofar as the same have not been written off, provided that such
preliminary expenses may be written off directly from the capital of the Corporation; and
(7) all other assets of every kind and nature, including prepaid expenses.
The assets shall be valued in accordance with the following principles and as laid down in valuation regulations and
guidelines approved by the Board from time to time (the «Valuation Regulations»):
54845
(i) the value of any cash on hand or on deposit, bills and demand notes and accounts receivable, prepaid expenses,
cash dividends and interest declared or accrued as aforesaid and not yet received shall be deemed to be the full amount
thereof, unless in any case the same is unlikely to be paid or received in full, in which case the value thereof shall be
arrived at after making such discount as the Corporation may consider appropriate in such case to reflect the true value
thereof;
(ii) the value of transferable securities, money market instruments and any financial assets listed or dealt in on a stock
exchange or on a regulated market, or any other regulated market, are generally valued at the last available known price
in the relevant market prior to the time of valuation, or any other price deemed appropriate by the Board. Fixed income
securities not traded on such markets are generally valued at the last available price or yield equivalents obtained from
one or more dealers or pricing services approved by the Board, or any other price deemed appropriate by the Board;
(iii) if such prices are not representative of their value, such securities are stated at market value or otherwise at the
fair value at which it is expected they may be resold, as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board;
(iv) money market instruments with a remaining maturity of 90 days or less will be valued by the amortized cost meth-
od, which approximates market value. Under this valuation method, the relevant Portfolio’s investments are valued at
their acquisition cost as adjusted for amortisation of premium or accretion of discount rather than at market value;
(v) units or shares of open-ended undertakings for collective investment will be valued at their last determined and
available net asset value or, if such price is not representative of the fair market value of such assets, then the price shall
be determined by the Corporation on a fair and equitable basis. Units or shares of a closed-ended undertaking for col-
lective investment will be valued at their last available stock market value;
(vi) the liquidating value of futures, forward or options contracts not traded on a stock exchange or on regulated
markets, or on other regulated markets shall mean their net liquidating value determined, pursuant to the policies es-
tablished by the Board, on a basis consistently applied for each different variety of contracts. The value of futures, for-
ward or options contracts traded on a stock exchange or on regulated markets, or on other regulated markets shall be
based upon the last available settlement or closing prices as applicable to these contracts on a stock exchange or on
regulated markets, or on other regulated markets on which the particular futures, forward or options contracts are
traded on behalf of the Corporation; provided that if a future, forward or options contract could not be liquidated on
the day with respect to which assets are being determined, the basis for determining the liquidating value of such con-
tract shall be such value as the Board may deem fair and reasonable;
(vii) interest rate swaps will be valued on the basis of their market value established by reference to the applicable
interest rate curve.
Credit default swaps and total return swaps will be valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Board. As
these swaps are not exchange-traded, but are private contracts into which the Corporation and a swap counterparty
enter as principals, the data inputs for valuation models are usually established by reference to active markets. However
it is possible that such market data will not be available for credit default swaps and total return swaps near the Valuation
Date. Where such markets inputs are not available, quoted market data for similar instruments (e.g. a different under-
lying instrument for the same or a similar reference entity) will be used provided that appropriate adjustments be made
to reflect any differences between the credit default swaps and total return swaps being valued and the similar financial
instrument for which a price is available. Market input data and prices may be sourced from exchanges, a broker, an
external pricing agency or a counterparty.
If no such market input data are available, credit default swaps and total return swaps will be valued at their fair value
pursuant to a valuation method adopted by the Board which shall be a valuation method widely accepted as good market
practice (i.e. used by active participants on setting prices in the market place or which has demonstrated to provide
reliable estimate of market prices) provided that adjustments that the Board may deem fair and reasonable be made.
The Corporation’s auditor will review the appropriateness of the valuation methodology used in valuing credit default
swaps and total return swaps. In any way the Corporation will always value credit default swaps and total return swaps
on an arm-length basis.
All other swaps, will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the
Board;
(viii) all other securities, instruments and other assets will be valued at fair market value, as determined in good faith
pursuant to procedures established by the Board;
(ix) assets denominated in a currency other than that in which the relevant Net Asset Value will be expressed, will
be converted at the relevant foreign currency spot rate on the relevant Valuation Date. In that context account shall be
taken of hedging instruments used to cover foreign exchange risks.
The Corporation is entitled to deviate from the valuation rules set out in (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above in valuing
the assets attributable to any given class by adding to the prices referred to in (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above an
amount reflecting the estimated cost of the acquisition of corresponding assets, in the event the Corporation expects
further investments to be made on behalf of the Portfolio to which such class belongs, or by deducting from the prices
referred to in (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above an amount reflecting the estimated cost of the disposal of such assets,
in the event the Corporation expects investments attributable to such Portfolio to which such class belongs to be sold.
The Board, in its discretion, may permit some other method of valuation to be used if it considers that such valuation
better reflects the fair value of any asset of the Corporation.
Any assets or liabilities initially expressed in terms of foreign currencies are translated into the relevant currency at
the prevailing market rates at the time of valuation.
The Net Asset Value per Share shall be rounded to the next minimum currency unit.
The liabilities of the Corporation shall be deemed to include:
(1) all loans, bills and accounts payable, except those payable to any subsidiary;
54846
(2) all accrued or payable administrative expenses (including investment management fee, custodian fee and corporate
agents’ fees);
(3) all known liabilities, present and future, including all matured contractual obligations for payments of money or
property, including the amount of any unpaid dividends declared by the Corporation where the Valuation Date falls on
the record date for determination of the person entitled thereto or is subsequent thereto;
(4) an appropriate provision for future taxes based on capital and income to the Valuation Date, as determined from
time to time by the Corporation, and other reserves, if any, authorised and approved by the Board; and
(5) all other liabilities of the Corporation of whatever kind and nature. In determining the amount of such liabilities
the Corporation shall take into account all expenses payable by the Corporation which shall comprise formation ex-
penses, fees and expenses payable to its investment advisors or investment managers, accountants, custodian, domicil-
iary, registrar and transfer agents, any paying agents and permanent representatives in places of registration, any
distributor, any other agent employed by the Corporation, fees for legal or auditing services, promotional, printing, re-
porting and publishing expenses, including the cost of advertising, preparing, translating and printing costs (including the
printing of prospectuses, explanatory memoranda, registration statements, or annual and semi-annual reports as well as
the calculation and publication of Net Asset Value per Share), stock exchange listing costs and the costs of obtaining any
registration with an authorisation from governmental charges and all other operating expenses including the cost of buy-
ing and selling assets, interest, bank charges and brokerage, postage, telephone and facsimile transmissions. The Corpo-
ration may calculate administrative and other expenses of a regular or recurring nature and on estimated figure for
yearly or other periods in advance, and may accrue the same in equal proportions over any such period.
All valuation regulations and determinations shall be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In
the absence of bad faith, gross negligence and manifest error, the valuation regulations decided by the Board and every
decision taken by the Board or by a delegate of the Board calculating the Net Asset Value shall be final and binding on
the Corporation and present, past or future shareholders. The result of each calculation of the Net Asset Value and the
Net Asset Value per Share shall be certified by a Director or a duly authorised person.
For the sole purpose of the Net Asset Value computation and subject as provided in Article 21 above:
a) Shares to be redeemed under Article 21 hereof shall be treated as existing and taken into account until immediately
after the close of business on the relevant Valuation Date, and from such time until paid the price therefore shall be
deemed to be a liability of the Corporation;
b) Shares to be issued by the Corporation shall be treated as being in issue as from the time specified by the Board
on the Valuation Date on which such valuation is made and from such time and until received by the Corporation the
price therefore shall be deemed to be a debt due to the Corporation;
c) all investments, cash balances and other assets of the Corporation expressed in currencies other than the U.S.
Dollar, shall be valued after taking into account the prevailing market rate or rates of exchange in force at the date of
determination of the Net Asset Value of Shares.
d) effect shall be given on any Valuation Date to any redemptions or sales of securities contracted for by the Corpo-
ration on such Valuation Date, to the extent applicable.
e) pooling
The Corporation may invest and manage all or any part of the assets established for two or more Portfolios (for the
purposes hereof «Participating Portfolios») on a pooled basis. Any such asset pool shall be formed by transferring to it
cash or other assets (subject to such assets being appropriate in respect of the investment policy of the pool concerned)
from each of the Participating Portfolios. Thereafter, the Corporation may from time to time make further transfers to
each asset pool. Assets may also be transferred back to a Participating Portfolio up to the amount of the participation
of the Portfolio concerned. The Share of a Participating Portfolio in an asset pool shall be measured by reference to
notional units of equal value in the asset pool. On formation of an asset pool, the Corporation shall determine the initial
value of notional units (which shall be expressed in such currency as the Corporation may consider appropriate) and
shall allocate to each Participating Portfolio notional units having an aggregate value equal to the amount of cash (or the
value of other assets) contributed. Thereafter, the value of the units shall be determined by dividing the net assets of
the asset pool by the number of notional units existing.
When additional cash or assets are contributed to or withdrawn from an asset pool, the allocation of notional units
of the Participating Portfolio concerned will be increased or reduced, as the case may be, by a number of notional units
determined by dividing the amount of cash or the value of assets contributed or withdrawn by the current value of a
Share a unit in such asset pool. Where a contribution is made in cash, it may be treated for the purpose of this calculation
as reduced by an amount which the Corporation considers appropriate to reflect fiscal charges and dealing and purchase
costs which may be incurred in investing the cash concerned; in the case of cash withdrawal, a corresponding deduction
may be made to reflect costs which may be incurred in realising securities or other assets of the asset pool.
Dividends, interest and other distributions of an income nature earned in respect of the assets in an asset pool will
be applied to such asset pool and cause the respective net assets to increase. Upon the dissolution of the Corporation,
the assets in an asset pool will be allocated to the Participating Portfolios in proportion to their respective participation
in the asset pool.
The Board shall establish a portfolio of assets for each class of Shares in the following manner:
a) the proceeds from the allotment and issue of each class of Shares within the relevant Portfolio shall be applied in
the books of the Corporation to the pool of assets established for that class of Shares, and the assets and liabilities and
income and expenditure attributable thereto shall be applied to such pool subject to the provisions of this Article;
b) where any asset is derived from another asset, such derivative asset shall be applied in the books of the Corpora-
tion to the same pool as the asset from which it was derived and on each re-evaluation of an asset, the increase or
diminution in value shall be applied to the relevant pool;
54847
c) where the Corporation incurs a liability which relates to any asset of a particular pool or to any action taken in
connection with an asset of a particular pool, such liability shall be allocated to the relevant pool;
d) in the case where any asset or liability of the Corporation cannot be considered as being attributable to a particular
pool, such asset or liability shall be allocated to all the pools pro rata to the Net Asset Values of the relevant class(es)
of Shares within the relevant Portfolio, provided that the Board may reallocate any asset or liability previously allocated
by them if in their opinion circumstances so require; and the Board may in the books of the Corporation appropriate
an asset or liability from one pool of assets to another if for any reason (including, but not limited to, a creditor pro-
ceeding against certain assets of the Corporation) an asset or a liability would but for such appropriation not have been
borne wholly or partly in the manner determined by the Board under this Article; provided that each Portfolio shall be
exclusively responsible for all liabilities attributed to it;
e) upon the payment, or the occurrence of the record date, if determined, for payment, of dividends to the holders
of Shares in any class within a Portfolio, the Net Asset Value of such class of Share, shall be reduced by the amount of
such dividends;
f) if there have been created, as provided in Article 5 within a Portfolio, classes of shares, the allocations rules set
forth above shall be applicable mutatis mutandis to such classes of shares.
Claims of third parties against the Corporation shall be accounted for in the relevant class of Shares.
Each Portfolio shall be liable only for its own debts and obligations.».
II. Approval of the additional amendments and revisions made to the Articles and in particular:
1. Amendment of the content of Article 1 of the Articles, so as to read as follows:
«Art. 1. Name. There is hereby established among the subscribers and all those who may become owners of Shares
issued, as defined hereinafter, a corporation in the form of a «société anonyme» under the name of AMERICAN
EXPRESS FUNDS (the «Corporation»), qualifying as a «société d’investissement à capital variable».»
2. Deletion of the second last paragraph of Article 6 of the Articles and reclassification of the last three paragraphs
thereof and splitting into a new Article 7 headed «Replacement of Lost Share Certificate», so as to read as follows:
«Art. 7. Replacement of Lost Share Certificates. If any shareholder can prove to the satisfaction of the Cor-
poration that his or her Certificate has been mislaid or destroyed, then, at his or her request, a replacement Certificate
may be issued subject to such conditions and guarantees (including, but without limitation thereto, a bond delivered by
an insurance company) as the Corporation may determine. Any such Certificate shall be issued to replace the one that
has been lost only if the Corporation is satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the original has been destroyed and then
only in accordance with all applicable laws.
Upon the issuance of a new Certificate, on which it shall be recorded that it is a replacement Certificate, the original
Certificate in place of which the new one has been issued shall become void.
The Corporation may, at its election, charge the shareholders for the costs of a replacement Certificate and all rea-
sonable expenses incurred by the Corporation in connection with the issuance and registration thereof, or in connec-
tion with the voiding of the former Certificate.»
3. Amendment of the former Article 7 and merger thereof with the former Article 8 of the Articles, so as to read as
follows:
«Art. 8. Restriction on Ownership of Shares. The Board shall have power to impose such restrictions as it may
think necessary for the purpose of ensuring that no Shares in the Corporation are acquired or held by:
(a) any person in breach of the law or requirement of any country or governmental authority; or
(b) any person in circumstances which in the opinion of the Board might result in the Corporation incurring any lia-
bility to taxation or suffering any other pecuniary disadvantage which the Corporation might not otherwise have in-
curred or suffered; or
(c) any person in circumstances which, in the opinion of the Board, may cause detriment to the Corporation or to
the shareholders.
More specifically, the Corporation may restrict or prevent the ownership of Shares in the Corporation by any person,
firm or corporate body, and without limitation, by any «U.S. person», as defined hereafter. For such purposes the Cor-
poration may:
a) decline to issue any Shares or to register any transfer of Shares where it appears to it that such issue or registry
would or might result in beneficial ownership of such Shares by a restricted person;
b) at any time require any person whose name is entered in, or any person seeking to register the transfer of Shares
on, the Register to furnish it with any information which it may consider necessary for the purpose of determining
whether or not beneficial ownership of such shareholder’s Shares rests or will rest in a restricted person;
c) where it appears to the Corporation that any restricted person, either alone or in conjunction with any other
person, is a beneficial owner of Shares, compulsorily purchase from such shareholder all Shares held by it in the following
manner:
(i) the Corporation shall serve a notice (hereafter called the «Purchase Notice») upon the shareholder bearing such
Shares or appearing in the Register as the owner of the Shares to be purchased, specifying the Shares to be purchased
as aforesaid, the price to be paid for such Shares and the place where the purchase price in respect of such Shares is
payable. Any such notice may be served upon such shareholder by posting the same in a prepaid registered envelope
addressed to the shareholder at his or her last address known to or appearing in the Register of the Corporation. The
said shareholder shall thereupon forthwith be obliged to deliver to the Corporation the Certificate or Certificates re-
lating to the Shares specified in the Purchase Notice. Immediately after the close of business on the date specified in the
54848
Purchase Notice, such shareholder will cease to be the owner of the Shares specified in such notice and, if appropriate,
his or her name shall be removed from the Register;
(ii) the price at which the Shares specified in any Purchase Notice shall be purchased (herein called the «Purchase
Price») shall be an amount equal to the per Net Asset Value Share, determined in accordance with Article 24 hereof;
(iii) payment of the Purchase Price will be made to the owner of such Shares in the currency of the class of Shares
concerned, except during periods of currency exchange restrictions with respect thereto, and will be deposited by the
Corporation in Luxembourg or elsewhere (as specified in the Purchase Notice) for payment to such owner upon sur-
render of the Certificate or Certificates relating to the Shares specified in such notice. Upon deposit of such price as
aforesaid no person interested in the Shares specified in the Purchase Notice shall have any further interest in such
Shares, or any claim against the Corporation or its assets in respect thereof, except the right of the person appearing
as the owner thereof to receive the price so deposited (without interest) upon effective surrender of the Certificate or
Certificates as aforesaid;
(iv) the exercise by the Corporation of the powers conferred by this Article shall not be questioned or invalidated
in any case, on the ground that there was insufficient evidence of ownership of Shares by any person or that the true
ownership of any Shares was otherwise than appeared to the Corporation at the date of any Purchase Notice, provided
that in each case the said powers were exercised by the Corporation in good faith; and
d) decline to accept the vote of any restricted person at any meeting of shareholders of the Corporation.
Whenever used in these Articles, the term «U.S. person» shall mean a person as defined in Regulation S of the U.S.
Securities Act of 1933, as amended («Securities Act») and thus shall include, but not be limited to:
(a) any natural person resident in the United States;
(b) any partnership or corporation organised or incorporated
under the laws of the United States;
(c) any estate of which any executor or administrator is a U.S. person;
(d) any trust of which any trustee is a U.S. Person;
(e) any agency or branch of a foreign entity located in the United States;
(f) any non-discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held by a dealer, or other fiduciary
for the benefit or account of a U.S. Person;
(g) any discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held by a dealer or other fiduciary
organised, incorporated, or (if an individual) resident in the United States; and
(h) any partnership or corporation if:
(1) organised or incorporated under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction; and
(2) formed by a U.S. Person principally for the purpose of investing in securities not registered under the Securities
Act, unless it is organised or incorporated, and owned, by accredited investors (as defined in Rule 501(a) under the
Securities Act) who are not natural persons, estates or trusts; but shall not include:
(I.) any discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held for the benefit or account of a
non-U.S.Person by a dealer or other professional fiduciary organised, incorporated, or (if an individual) resident in the
United States or
(II.) any estate of which any professional fiduciary acting as executor or administrator is a U.S. Person if an executor
or administrator of the estate who is not a US Person has sole or shared investment discretion with respect to the
assets of the estate and the estate is governed by foreign law.»
4. Amendment of the content of Article 9 of the Articles, so as to read as follows:
«Art. 9. Representation. Any properly constituted meeting of shareholders of the Corporation shall represent
the entire body of the shareholders of the Corporation. Its resolutions shall be binding upon all shareholders of the
Corporation regardless of the class of Shares held by them. It shall have the broadest powers to order, carry out or
ratify acts relating to the operations of the Corporation.»
5. Amendment of the content of Article 10 of the Articles, so as to read as follows:
«Art. 10. General Meetings of Shareholders of the Corporation. The annual general meeting of shareholders
shall be held in accordance with Luxembourg law at the registered office of the Corporation or at such other place in
Luxembourg as may be specified in the notice of meeting, on the last Friday in the month of July at 2p.m. of each year.
If such day is not a bank business day in Luxembourg, the annual general meeting shall be held on the next following
bank business day in Luxembourg. The annual general meeting may be held abroad if, in the absolute and final judgment
of the Board, exceptional circumstances so require.
Other meetings of shareholders may be held at such place and period of notice as may be specified in the respective
notices of meeting.
The quorum and time required by law shall govern the notice for and the conduct of the meetings of shareholders
of the Corporation, unless otherwise provided herein.
Each whole Share of whatever class and regardless of its Net Asset Value is entitled to one vote, subject to the lim-
itations imposed by these Articles. A shareholder may act at any meeting of shareholders by appointing another person
as his or her proxy in writing or by cable, telegram, or by any similar means of communication deemed acceptable by
the Board.
Except as otherwise required by law, resolutions at a meeting of shareholders duly convened will be passed by a sim-
ple majority of the Shares present or represented and voting.
The Board may determine all other conditions which must be fulfilled by shareholders for them to take part in any
meeting of shareholders.»

6. Amendment of Article 11 of the Articles, so as to read as follows:
«Art. 11. Notice of Shareholders Meetings. Shareholders will meet upon a call of the Board pursuant to a notice
setting forth the agenda, sent by mail at least 8 days prior to the date of the general meeting, to the shareholders’ address
in the Register, provided the Corporation shall not be bound to evidence the accomplishment of such notice.
If bearer Shares are issued, notice shall, in addition, be published in the Mémorial, Recueil des Sociétés et Associations
of Luxembourg, in a Luxembourg newspaper, and in such other newspaper as the Board may decide.
However, if all shareholders are present or represented at a shareholders’ meeting and if they declare themselves to
be fully informed of its agenda, the meeting may be held without notice or publicity having been given or made.»
7. Addition of a new Article 12 headed «Article 12. General Meetings of Shareholders in a Portfolio or in a Class of
Shares», so as to read as follows:
«Art. 12. General Meetings of Shareholders in a Portfolio or in a Class of Shares. The shareholders of the
class or classes issued in respect of any Portfolio may hold, at any time, general meetings to decide on any matters which
relate exclusively to such Portfolio. In addition, the shareholders of any class of Shares may hold, at any time, general
meetings for any matters which are specific to such class.
The provisions of Article 10 shall apply to such general meetings. Each Share is entitled to one vote in compliance
with Luxembourg law and these Articles. Shareholders may act either in person or by giving a written proxy to another
person who needs not be a shareholder and may be a Director of the Corporation.
Unless otherwise provided for by law or herein, the resolutions of the general meeting of shareholders of a Portfolio
or of a class of Shares are passed by a simple majority vote of the shareholders present or represented.»
8. Amendment of the content of the former Article 12 of the Articles, newly Article 13 of the Articles, so as to read
as follows:
«Art. 13. Board of Directors. The Corporation shall be managed by a Board composed of at least three members
who need not be shareholders of the Corporation.
Subject as provided below and subject to the provision in the previous paragraph, the Directors shall be elected by
the shareholders at a general meeting, for a period not to exceed the maximum term provided by Luxembourg law and
until their successors are elected and have accepted such appointment or, if later, ending at the date of such election
and acceptance, provided, however, that a Director may be removed with or without cause and/or replaced at any time
by resolution adopted by the shareholders. In the event of vacancy in the office of Director because of death, retirement
or otherwise, the remaining Directors may meet and may elect by majority vote, a Director to fill such vacancy until
the next meeting of shareholders.
At least 7 days’ previous notice in writing shall be given to the Corporation of the intention of any shareholder to
propose any person other than a retiring Director for election to the office of Director and such notice shall be accom-
panied by notice in writing signed by the person to be proposed confirming his or her willingness to be appointed; PRO-
VIDED ALWAYS that if the shareholders present at a general meeting unanimously consent, the chairman of such
meeting may waive the said notices and submit to the meeting the name of any person so nominated.
At a general meeting of the shareholders a motion for the appointment of two or more persons as Directors of the
Corporation by a single resolution shall not be made unless a resolution that it shall be so made has been first agreed
to by the meeting without any vote being given against it.
The Board is vested with the broadest powers to perform all acts of administration and disposition in the Corpora-
tion’s interest. All powers not expressly reserved by law or by these Articles to the general meeting of shareholders
may be exercised by the Board.»
9. Amendment of the content of the former Article 13 of the Articles, newly Article 14 of the Articles, so as to read
as follows:
«Art. 14. Board of Directors Meetings. The Board shall appoint from among its members a chairman and may
appoint from among its members a Vice-Chairman. It may also appoint a secretary, who need not be a Director, who
shall be responsible for keeping the minutes of the meetings of the Board and of the shareholders. A meeting of the
Board may be convened by the chairman or by two Directors, at the place indicated in the notice of the meeting.
The chairman shall preside at all meetings of shareholders and of the Board, but in his absence the shareholders or
the Board may appoint another person as chairman pro tempore by vote of the majority present at any such meeting.
The Board may from time to time appoint the officers of the Corporation, including a general manager, a secretary,
and any assistant general managers, assistant secretaries or other officers considered necessary for the operation and
management of the Corporation. Any such appointment may be revoked at any time by the Board. Officers need not
be Directors or shareholders of the Corporation. The officers so appointed, unless otherwise stipulated in these Arti-
cles, shall have the powers and duties given to them by the Board.
In particular the Board may, in compliance with the 2002 law, delegate its powers to conduct the daily management
and affairs of the Corporation and its powers to carry out in furtherance of the corporate policy and purpose to physical
persons or corporate entities which need not be members of the Board, acting under the supervision of the Board and
which may further delegate their powers within the limits set forth by the 2002 Law. The Board may also delegate any
of its powers, authorities and discretions to any committee, consisting of such person or persons (whether a member
or members of the Board or not) as it thinks fit.
The Board may also confer special powers of attorney by notarial or private proxy.
Written notice of any meeting of the Board shall be given to all Directors at least 24 hours in advance of the hour
set for such meeting, except in circumstances of emergency, in which case the nature of the circumstances shall be set
forth in the notice of meeting. This notice may be waived by the consent in writing or by cable, telegram of each Director
54850
or any other means of communication deemed acceptable by the Directors. Separate notice shall not be required for
individual meetings held at times and places prescribed in a schedule previously adopted by resolution of the Board.
A Director may act at a meeting of the Board by appointing in writing or by cable, telegram, or any other means of
communication deemed acceptable by the Directors, another Director as his or her proxy.
Directors may also cast their vote in writing or by facsimile transmission or any other means of communication
deemed acceptable by the other Directors.
The meetings of the Board may also be made by conference call and video-conference.
The Directors may only act at duly convened meetings of the Board. Directors may not bind the Corporation by
their individual acts, except as specifically permitted by resolution of the Board.
Except as stated below, the Board can deliberate or act validly only if at least a majority of the Directors is in attend-
ance (which may be by way of a conference telephone call or video-conference) or represented at a meeting of the
Board. Decisions shall be taken by a majority of the votes of the Directors present or represented at such meeting.
In the event that in any meeting the number of votes for and against a resolution shall be equal, the chairman shall
have a casting vote.
The Directors may also adopt by unanimous vote a circular resolution, which can be effected by each Director ex-
pressing his consent on one or several separate identical instruments in writing or by telegram or any other means of
communication deemed acceptable by the Directors (in each such case confirmed in writing), which shall together con-
stitute appropriate minutes evidencing such decision as of the date of the last signatory thereof.»
10. Amendment of the content of the former Article 18 of the Articles, newly Article 19 of the Articles, so as to read
as follows:
«Art. 19. Corporate Signature. Vis-à-vis third parties, the Corporation will be bound by:
(a) the joint signatures of any two Directors of the Corporation, or
(b) the joint or single signature of an officer or officers to whom authority has been delegated by the Board, or
(c) the single signature of a Director to whom authority has been delegated by the Board, or
(d) in any other way determined by a resolution of the Board.»
11. Amendment of the content of the former Article 20 of the Articles, newly Article 21 of the Articles, so as to read
as follows:
«Art. 21. Redemption of Shares. The Corporation has the power to acquire Shares for its own account.
A shareholder of the Corporation may request the Corporation to redeem all or any lesser number of his or her
Shares and the Corporation will in this case redeem such Shares subject to any suspension event as referred to in Article
23 hereof, provided that in the case of request for redemption or exchange of part of his or her Shares, the Corporation
may, if compliance with such request would result in an aggregate residual holding of less than an amount or number of
Shares as the Board may determine from time to time, redeem all the remaining Shares held by such shareholder.
The Corporation shall not be bound to redeem or exchange on any Valuation Date more than 10 per cent of the
number of Shares of any class or Portfolio in issue on such Valuation Date. Redemptions or exchanges may be deferred
for a period that the Board considers to be in the best interest of the Corporation after the date of receipt of the re-
demption or exchange request subject to the foregoing limits. In case of deferral of redemptions or exchanges the rel-
evant Shares shall, as in all other cases, be redeemed or exchanged at a price determined as provided herein prevailing
at the date on which the redemption or exchange is effected. Any deferred redemptions or exchanges shall be treated
in priority to any redemptions or exchanges received for subsequent Valuation Dates.
A redemption request shall be irrevocable, except in case of and during any period of suspension of redemptions as
aforesaid and in the event of suspension of redemption pursuant to Article 23 hereof. In the absence of revocation,
redemption will occur, in the event of reduction, as aforesaid, and in the event of suspension under Article 23 hereof,
as of the first Valuation Date after such reduction or after the end of the suspension.
The Corporation shall have the right, if the Board so determines, to satisfy payment of the redemption price to any
shareholder who agrees, in specie, by allocating to the holder investments from the portfolio of assets set up in con-
nection with such class or classes of Shares equal in value (calculated in the manner described in Article 24) as of the
Valuation Date on which the redemption price is calculated, to the value of the Shares to be redeemed. The nature and
type of assets to be transferred in such case shall be determined on a fair and reasonable basis and without prejudicing
the interests of the other shareholders of the relevant class or classes of Shares and the valuation used shall be con-
firmed by a special report of the auditor of the Corporation. The costs of any such transfers shall be borne by the trans-
feree.
Whenever the Corporation shall redeem Shares, the price at which such Shares shall be redeemed by the Corpora-
tion shall, subject as provided in this Article, be based on the Net Asset Value per Share of the relevant class within the
relevant Portfolio determined on the Valuation Date when or immediately after a written and irrevocable redemption
request is received, (or determined on such other date decided by the Board and disclosed in the Prospectus) less a
redemption charge of not in excess of 2 percent thereof (and, if applicable, a contingent deferred sales charge of not in
excess of 5 per cent assessed on the lower of cost or Net Asset Value) as may be decided by the Board from time to
time and described in the current prospectus, PROVIDED THAT the request is received by the Corporation, or by the
agent appointed by it to this effect, by a time specified by the Board, together with any relevant Certificates. In addition,
the Corporation may assess a market timing penalty charge in an amount to be determined by the Board from time to
time, and set out in the Prospectus.»
12. Addition of a a new Article 22 headed «Exchange of Shares» including provisions of the former Article 20 of the
Articles, so as to read as follows:
54851
«Art. 22. Exchange of Shares. Any shareholder may request the exchange of the whole or part of his or her
Shares of the relevant class within a relevant Portfolio into Shares of the same class of another Portfolio, or a different
class of the same Portfolio or of a different Portfolio, as determined from time to time by the Board, provided that the
Board may impose such restrictions as to, inter alia, frequency of exchange, and may make exchange subject to payment
of such charge, including the market timing penalty, as it shall determine and disclose in the Prospectus.
Shares of the capital stock of the Corporation redeemed by it shall be cancelled as of the date of effect of the re-
demption.»
13. Deletion of the former Article 23 of the Articles.
14. Introduction of a new Article 26 headed «Custodian», so as to read as follows:
«Art. 26. Custodian. The Corporation shall enter into a custodian agreement with a bank which shall satisfy the
requirements of the 2002 Law (the «Custodian»). All securities and cash of the Corporation are to be held by or to the
order of the Custodian who shall assume towards the Corporation and its shareholders the responsibilities provided
by Law.
In the event of the Custodian desiring to retire the Board shall use their best endeavours to find a company to act
as custodian and upon doing so, the Directors shall appoint such company to be custodian in place of the retiring Cus-
todian. The Directors may terminate the appointment of the Custodian, but shall not remove the Custodian unless and
until a successor custodian shall have been appointed in accordance with this provision to act in the place thereof.»
15. Amendment of the content of the former Article 25 of the Articles, newly Article 27 of the Articles, so as to read
as follows:
«Art. 27. Accounting Year. The accounting year of the Corporation shall begin on 1st April of each year and shall
terminate on the 31st March of the subsequent year. The accounts of the Corporation shall be expressed in U.S. Dollars.
When there shall be different classes of Shares as provided for in Article 5 hereof, and if the accounts within such classes
are expressed in different currencies, such accounts shall be translated into U.S. Dollars and added together for the
purpose of the determination of the accounts of the Corporation.»
16. Amendment of the content of the former Article 26 of the Articles, newly Article 28 of the Articles, so as to read
as follows:
«Art. 28. Distribution. Dividends, if any, will be declared on the number of Shares outstanding at the dividend
record date, as that date is determined by the Board in the case of an interim dividend or by the General Meeting of
shareholders of the Corporation in the case of the final dividend, and will be paid to the holders of such Shares within
two months of such declaration.
The Board may declare and pay an interim dividend, based on interim financial accounts and in accordance with all
applicable laws.
Any resolution deciding on dividends to be declared to the relevant class of Shares of any Portfolio shall be approved
solely by vote in a class meeting held without quorum requirement, at a simple majority, of the shareholders of the
relevant class of Shares.
Dividends, if any, shall be paid in the reference currency of the relevant class of Shares or Portfolio or in any other
currency as provided in the sales documents of the Corporation.
If the Board has decided, in accordance with the provisions of Article 5 hereof, to create within each Portfolio dif-
ferent classes of Shares where one class entitles to dividends («Dividend Shares») and the other class does not entitle
to dividends («Accumulation Shares»), dividends may only be declared and paid in accordance with the provisions of
this Article with respect to Dividend Shares and no dividends will be declared and paid with respect to Accumulation
Shares.
The Board may decide to distribute stock dividends in lieu of cash dividends upon such terms and conditions as may
be set forth by the Board.
No distribution may be made if after declaration of such distribution the Corporation’s capital is less than the mini-
mum imposed by the 2002 Law.»
17. Introduction of a new Article 29 headed «Dissolution of the Corporation», so as to read as follows:
«Article 29. Dissolution of the Corporation. The Corporation may at any time be dissolved by a resolution of
the general meeting of shareholders subject to the quorum and majority requirements referred to in Article 32 hereof.
Whenever the share capital falls below two-thirds of the minimum capital indicated in Article 5 hereof, the question
of the dissolution of the Corporation shall be referred to the general meeting by the Board. The general meeting, for
which no quorum shall be required, shall decide by simple majority of the votes of the Shares represented at the meet-
ing.
The question of the dissolution of the Corporation shall further be referred to the general meeting whenever the
share capital falls below one-fourth of the minimum capital set by Article 5 hereof; in such an event, the general meeting
shall be held without any quorum requirements and the dissolution may be decided by shareholders holding one-fourth
of the votes of the Shares represented at the meeting.
The meeting must be convened so that it is held within a period of forty days from ascertainment that the net assets
of the Corporation have fallen below two-thirds or one-fourth of the legal minimum, as the case may be.»
18. Amendment of the content of the former Article 27, newly Article 30, so as to read as follows:
«Art. 30. Liquidation. In the event of a dissolution of the Corporation, liquidation shall be carried out by one or
several liquidators (who may be physical persons or legal entities) named by the meeting of shareholders deciding such
54852
dissolution subject to the quorum and majority requirements referred to in Article 32 hereto and which shall determine
their powers and their compensation. The net proceeds of liquidation corresponding to each class of Shares shall be
distributed by the liquidators to the holders of Shares of each class in proportion of their holding of Shares in such class.
The liquidators shall take into account the rights of the Shares of the respective classes on the net assets relative to
their respective Portfolio.
Any funds to which shareholders are entitled upon the liquidation of the Corporation and which are not claimed by
those entitled thereto prior to the close of the liquidation process shall be deposited for the persons entitled thereto
at the Caisse de Consignation in Luxembourg in accordance with Article 107 of the 2002 Law.»
19. Introduction of a new Article 31 headed «Merger or Liquidation of Portfolios or Classes of Shares», so as to read
as follows:
«Art. 31. Merger or Liquidation of Portfolios or Classes of Shares. The Board may decide to liquidate one
Portfolio or class of Shares if a change in the economic or political situation relating to the Portfolio or class of Shares
concerned would justify such liquidation or, if for other reasons the Board believe it is required for the interests of the
shareholders. The decision of the liquidation will be published (either in a newspaper in Luxembourg and in newspapers
issued in countries where the Shares are sold (insofar as required by applicable regulations), or sent to the shareholders
at their addresses indicated in the Register of Shareholders or communicated via other means as deemed appropriate
by the Board) prior to the effective date of the liquidation and the publication will indicate the reasons for, and the pro-
cedures of, the liquidation. Unless the Board otherwise decides in the interests of, or to keep equal treatment between,
the shareholders, the shareholders of the Portfolio or class of Shares concerned may continue to request redemption
or exchange of their Shares. Assets which cannot be distributed to their beneficiaries upon the completion of the liqui-
dation of the Portfolio or class of Shares concerned will be deposited with the Custodian for a period of six months
after the completion of the liquidation. After such time, the assets will be deposited with the Caisse de Consignation on
behalf of their beneficiaries.
Under the same circumstances as provided in the preceding paragraph, the Board may decide to liquidate one Port-
folio by contribution into another Portfolio. Such decision will be published in the same manner as described in the pre-
ceding paragraph and, in addition, the publication will contain information in relation to the new Portfolio. Such
publication will be made one month before the date on which the amalgamation becomes effective in order to enable
shareholders to request redemption of their Shares, free of charge, before the operation involving contribution into
another Portfolio becomes effective.
The Board may also, under the same circumstances as provided above, decide to liquidate one Portfolio by contri-
bution into another collective investment undertaking governed by the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Such
decision will be published in the same manner as described above and, in addition, the publication will contain informa-
tion in relation to the other collective investment undertaking. Such publication will be made within one month before
the date on which the merger becomes effective in order to enable shareholders to request redemption of their Shares,
free of charge, before the operation involving contribution into another collective investment undertaking becomes ef-
fective. In case of contribution to another collective investment undertaking of the mutual fund type (fonds commun de
placement), the merger will be binding only on shareholders of the relevant Portfolio who will expressly agree to the
merger. A Portfolio may exclusively be contributed to a foreign collective investment undertaking upon approval of the
shareholders of the classes of Shares issued in the Portfolio concerned or under the condition that only the assets of
the consenting shareholders be contributed to the foreign collective investment undertaking.
In the event that the Board determine that it is required for the interests of the shareholders of the relevant Portfolio
or that a change in the economic or political situation relating to the Portfolio concerned has occurred which would
justify it, the reorganisation of one Portfolio, by means of a division into two or more Portfolios, may be decided by the
Board. Such decision will be published in the same manner as described above and, in addition, the publication will con-
tain information in relation to the two or more new Portfolios. Such publication will be made within one month before
the date on which the reorganisation becomes effective in order to enable the shareholders to request redemption of
their Shares, free of charge before the operation involving division into two or more Portfolios becomes effective.
Any of the aforesaid decisions of liquidation, amalgamation, merger or reorganisation may also be decided by a sep-
arate meeting of the shareholders of the relevant class in the Portfolio concerned where no quorum is required and the
decision is taken at the single majority of the Shares voting at the meeting. Should future Portfolios be created for a
limited maturity, the procedure for liquidation, amalgamation, merger or reorganisation will be described in the sales
documents of the Corporation.».
III. Approval of the minor formal and stylistic amendments made throughout the Articles as more fully reflected in
the draft Articles available for inspection at the registered office of the Corporation.
IV. Miscellaneous
B. That the shareholders present or represented, the proxies of the represented shareholders and the number of
their Shares are shown on an attendance list; this attendance list, signed by the shareholders, the proxies of the repre-
sented shareholders, the board of the meeting and by the public notary, will remain annexed to the present deed to be
filed at the same time with the registration authorities.
C. That, all Shares being in registered form, a convening notice to the meeting was sent to each shareholder of the
Corporation per registered mail.
D. That, it appears from the attendance list that, out of 134,860,781.963 Shares of the Corporation in issue,
23,051,852.868 Shares are present or represented.
The Chairman informs the meeting that a first extraordinary general meeting of shareholders with the same agenda
has been convened on 13 September 2005 and that the quorum requirements for voting the points of the agenda have
not been attained.
54853
The second meeting may thus validly deliberate no matter how many Shares are present or represented in accord-
ance with article 67-1 of the law of August 10, 1915 on commercial companies, as amended.
Then the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, after deliberation, took the following resolutions which will
be effective on 30 October 2005, by 23,051,169 votes in favour and 679 votes against:
I. RESOLVED to approve the restatement of the articles of incorporation of the Corporation (the «Articles») in view
to submit the Corporation to Part I of the law of 20 December 2002 on undertakings for collective investment (the
«2002 Law») implementing into Luxembourg law the UCITS Directive EEC/85/611, as amended, and in particular the
following amendments:
1. Replacement of any reference in the Articles to the law of 30 March 1988 relating to undertakings for collective
investment by a reference to the 2002 Law.
2. Amendment of the content of Article 3 of the Articles, so as to read as follows:
«Art. 3. Purpose. The exclusive object of the Corporation is to place the funds available to it in transferable secu-
rities and other liquid financial assets permitted by the law of 20 December 2002 on undertakings for collective invest-
ment (the «2002 Law»), with the purpose of spreading investment risks and affording its shareholders the results of the
management of its portfolio.
The Corporation may take any measures and carry out any operation which it may deem useful in the accomplish-
ment and development of its purposes to the full extent permitted by the 2002 Law or any legislative replacements or
amendments thereof.»
3. Amendment of the content of Article 5 of the Articles, so as to read as follows:
«Art. 5. Share Capital - Portfolios- Classes of Shares. The corporate capital shall be at any time equal to the
total net assets of the Corporation (the «Net Asset Value») as defined in Article 24 hereof and shall be represented by
shares of no par value (the «Shares»).
The Board may decide if and from which date Shares shall be offered for sale, those Shares to be issued on terms and
conditions as shall be decided by the Board which may include a front end sales charge or a contingent deferred sales
charge.
Such Shares may, as the Board shall determine, be of different portfolios of assets (each a «Portfolio») within the
meaning of article 133 of the 2002 Law, (which may, as the Board shall determine, be denominated in different curren-
cies) and the proceeds of the issue of Shares in each Portfolio shall be invested pursuant to Article 3 hereof in securities
or other assets corresponding to such geographical areas, industrial sectors or monetary zones or such specific types
of equity or debt securities as the Board shall from time to time determine with respect of each Portfolio.
The Board may further decide to create within each Portfolio two or more classes of Shares whose assets will be
commonly invested pursuant to the specific investment policy of the Portfolio concerned but where a specific dividend
policy (e.g. Dividend and Accumulation Shares), sales and redemption charge structure, hedging policy or other specific
feature is applied to each class of Shares.
For the purpose of determining the capital of the Corporation, the net assets attributable to each Class, if not de-
nominated in U.S. dollars, shall be converted into U.S. dollars, and the capital shall be the total of the net assets of all
the Classes. Reference in these Articles to Shares shall be construed as meaning a Share of any class within a Portfolio.
The minimum share capital of the Corporation shall be the equivalent in U.S. dollars of one million two hundred fifty-
thousand euros (EUR 1,250,000).
The Board is authorised without limitation to issue at any time further fully paid Shares at the applicable Net Asset
Value per Share of the relevant class determined in accordance with Article 24 hereof, without reserving to the existing
shareholders of the Corporation a preferential right of subscription to the additional Shares to be issued.
The Board may delegate to any Director or duly authorised officer of the Corporation or to any duly authorised
person the power and duty to accept subscriptions and to receive payment for such new Shares and to deliver these
remaining always within the provisions of the 2002 Law.
The offering price and the price at which Shares of each class are redeemed, as well as the Net Asset Value per Share
of each class, shall be available and may be obtained at the registered office of the Corporation.
The Board may create each Portfolio for an unlimited or limited period of time; in the latter case, the Board may, at
the expiry of the initial period of time, extend the duration of the relevant Portfolio once or several times. At the expiry
of the duration of a Portfolio, the Corporation shall redeem all the Shares in the relevant class(es) of Shares, in accord-
ance with Article 21 below, notwithstanding the provisions of Article 31 below.
At each extension of a Portfolio, the registered shareholders shall be duly notified in writing, by a notice sent to their
registered address as recorded in the Register of Shareholders of the Corporation. The Corporation shall inform the
bearer shareholders by a notice published in a Luxembourg newspaper and in such other newspapers to be determined
by the Board, unless these shareholders and their addresses are known to the Corporation. The sales documents for
the Shares of the Corporation shall indicate the duration of each Portfolio and, if appropriate, its extension.».
4. Amendment of the content of Article 6 of the Articles, so as to read as follows:
«Art. 6. Form of Shares. The Board shall determine whether the Corporation shall issue Shares in bearer and/or
in registered form.
Share certificates (hereinafter «Certificates») of the relevant class may be issued if the Board so authorizes and dis-
closes in the current prospectus for registered Shares or, for bearer Shares with coupons attached in such denomina-
tions as the Board shall decide.
The Corporation may issue temporary Certificates or Share confirmations, or any other document confirming own-
ership of the Shares in such form as the Board may from time to time determine.
54854
If a bearer shareholder requests the exchange of his or her certificates for certificates in other denominations or the
exchange into registered Shares, he or she may be charged with the cost of such exchange.
In the case of registered Shares, where a shareholder does not elect to obtain Share certificates, he or she will receive
instead a confirmation of his or her shareholding. If a registered shareholder desires that more than one Share certificate
be issued for his or her Shares, the cost of such additional certificates may be charged to such shareholder.
Share Certificates shall be signed by two Directors. Such signatures may be either manual, or printed, or facsimile.
However, one of such signatures may be by a person delegated to this effect by the Board; in the latter case, it shall be
manual.
Shares shall be issued only upon acceptance of the subscription and receipt of payment of the purchase price. The
subscriber will, without undue delay, upon acceptance of the subscription and receipt of the purchase price, receive title
to the Shares purchased by him or her.
Shares may also be issued upon acceptance of the subscription against contribution in kind of securities and other
liquid financial assets compatible with the investment policy and the object of the relevant Portfolio, in compliance with
the conditions set forth by Luxembourg law and in particular the obligation to deliver a valuation report from the auditor
of the Corporation. If payment made by a subscriber results in the issue of a registered Share fraction, such fraction
shall be entered in the Register of Shareholders. It shall not be entitled to vote but shall, to the extent the Corporation
shall determine, be entitled to a corresponding fraction of the dividend. In case of bearer Shares, only certificates evi-
dencing full Shares will be issued.
For Dividend Shares, payments of dividends to holders of registered Shares will be made to such shareholders at their
addresses as they appear in the register of shareholders (the «Register»).
Payments of dividends to holders of bearer Shares will be made to such shareholders upon presentation of the rele-
vant dividend coupons to the agent or agents appointed by the Corporation for such purpose.
A dividend declared but not paid on a Share, namely when no coupon is tendered for such dividend within a period
of five years from the payment date thereof, cannot thereafter be claimed by the holder of such Share unless the Board
has waived or extended such period in respect of all Shares, and shall otherwise revert to the Corporation. The Board
shall have power from time to time to take all steps necessary and to authorize such action on behalf of the Corporation
to perfect such reversion. No interest will be paid on dividends declared, pending their collection.
All issued registered Shares shall be registered in the Register which shall be kept by the Corporation or by one or
more persons designated for such purpose by the Corporation. The Register shall contain the name of each holder of
registered Shares, his or her residence or elected domicile so far as notified to the Corporation, the number and class
of Shares held by him or her and the amount paid in on each such Share. Every transfer of a registered Share shall be
entered in the Register and every such entry shall be signed by one or more officers of the Corporation or by one or
more persons designated by the Board.
In the case of bearer Shares, title shall pass by delivery of the relevant bearer Share Certificates.
Transfer of registered Shares shall be effected:
(i) if Share Certificates have been issued by inscription of the transfer to be made by the Corporation upon delivering
of the Certificate or Certificates to the Corporation along with other instruments of transfer satisfactory to the Cor-
poration or
(ii) if no Share Certificates have been issued, by a written declaration of transfer inscribed in the Register, dated and
signed by the transferor and by the transferee, or by persons holding suitable powers of attorney to act therefore.
In case of bearer Shares the Corporation may consider the bearer, and in the case of registered Shares the Corpo-
ration shall consider the person in whose name the Shares are registered in the Register, as owner of the Shares.
Each registered shareholder must provide the Corporation with an address. All notices and announcements from the
Corporation to shareholders may be sent to such address which will also be entered in the Register.
In the event that a shareholder does not provide such an address, the Corporation may permit a notice to this effect
to be entered in the Register and his or her address will be deemed to be at the registered office of the Corporation
or such other address as may be so entered by the Corporation from time to time, until another address shall be pro-
vided to the Corporation.
The shareholder may, at any time, change his or her address as entered in the Register by means of a written notifi-
cation to the Corporation at its registered office, or at such other address as may be set by the Corporation from time
to time.»
5. Amendment of the content of the former Article 15 of the Articles, newly Article 16 of the Articles, so as to read
as follows:
«Art. 16. Investment Policy. The Board shall, applying the principle of spreading of risks, have the power to de-
termine:
(a) the corporate and investment policy for the investments relating to each Portfolio and the pool of assets relating
thereto;
(b) the hedging strategy, if any, to be applied to each Portfolio and to specific classes of Shares within particular Port-
folios; and
(c) the course of conduct of the management and business affairs of the Corporation.
The Board has in particular power to determine the corporate policy and the course of conduct of the management
and business affairs of the Corporation, provided however that the Corporation shall not effect such investments or
activities as shall fall under such investment restrictions as may be imposed by the 2002 Law or be laid down in the laws
and regulations of those countries where the Shares are offered for sale to the public or as shall be adopted from time
to time by resolutions of the Board and as shall be described in any prospectus.
54855
In particular, the Board shall also determine any restrictions which shall from time to time be applicable to the in-
vestments of each Portfolio, including without limitation, restrictions with respect to:
(a) the borrowings of each Portfolio and hedging of its assets; and
(b) the maximum percentage of the assets of each Portfolio which may be invested in any form or class of security
and the maximum percentage of any form or class of security which it may acquire.
In the determination and implementation of the investment policy the Board may cause the assets of the Corporation
to be invested in:
(a) transferable securities and money market instruments;
(b) shares or units of other undertakings for collective investment;
(c) deposits with credit institutions, which are repayable on demand or have the right to be withdrawn and which are
maturing in no more than 12 months;
(d) financial derivatives instruments.
The investment policy of the Corporation may replicate the composition of an index of equity securities or debt se-
curities recognized by the Luxembourg supervisory authority.
The Corporation may in particular purchase the above mentioned assets on any regulated market or stock exchange
in the European Union or in any other regulated market or stock exchange outside of the European Union, or of any
State of America, Africa, Asia, Australia or Oceania as specified in the sales documents of the Shares of the Corporation.
The Corporation may also invest in recently issued transferable securities and money market instruments, provided
that the terms of issue include an undertaking that application will be made for admission to official listing on a regulated
market or stock exchange in the European Union or in any other regulated market or stock exchange outside of the
European Union and that such admission be secured within one year of the issue.
The Corporation may invest up to a maximum of 35%, of the net assets of any class in transferable securities issued
or guaranteed by a Member State, its local authorities, by another Eligible State or by public international bodies of which
one or more Member States are members.
In accordance with the principle of risk spreading, the Corporation is authorised to invest up to 100% of the net
assets attributable to each Portfolio in transferable securities and money market instruments issued or guaranteed by a
Member State of the European Union, by its local authorities, another Member State of the Organisation for Economic
Cooperation and Development («OECD») or by a public international body of which one or more Member State(s) of
the European Union are member(s), being provided that if the Corporation uses the possibility described above, it shall
hold, on behalf of each relevant Portfolio, securities belonging to six different issues at least. The securities belonging to
one issue cannot exceed 30% of the total net assets attributable to that Portfolio.
The Board, acting in the best interest of the Corporation, may decide that
(a) all or part of the assets of the Corporation will be co-managed with assets belonging to other collective investment
schemes; or that
(b) all or part of the assets of any Portfolio be co-managed amongst themselves.
Investments of the Corporation may be made either directly or indirectly through wholly-owned intermediate sub-
sidiaries incorporated in any suitable jurisdiction and carrying on management activities exclusively for the Corporation,
and primarily, but not solely, for the purposes of greater tax efficiency. Any reference in these Articles to «investments»
and «assets» shall mean, as appropriate, either investments made and assets beneficially held directly or investments
made and assets beneficially held indirectly through the aforesaid subsidiaries.
The Corporation is authorised:
(a) to employ techniques and instruments relating to transferable securities and money market instruments provided
that such techniques and instruments are used for the purpose of efficient portfolio management; and
(b) to employ techniques and instruments intended to provide protection against exchange risks in the context of
the management of its assets and liabilities as described in the sales documents for the Shares of the Corporation.»
6. Amendment of the content of the former Article 19 of the Articles, newly Article 20 of the Articles, so as to read
as follows:
«Art. 20. Auditor. The Corporation shall appoint an independent and external auditor («réviseur d’entreprises
agréé») who shall carry out the duties prescribed by the 2002 Law. The auditor shall be elected by the general meeting
of shareholders and shall hold office until his or her successor is elected.»
7. Amendment of the content of the former Article 22 of the Articles, newly Article 23 of the Articles, so as to read
as follows:
«Art. 23. Frequency and Temporary Suspension of Calculation of the Net Asset Value per Share. The
Net Asset Value per Share and the issue and redemption prices of each class shall be determined in the currency in
which the relevant class of Shares is expressed at least twice a month, on each day determined by the Board on which
banks are open for business in Luxembourg and in such other place(s) as may be determined by the Board and disclosed
in the Prospectus («Valuation Date»).
The Corporation may temporarily suspend the determination of the Net Asset Value, the issue of Shares and the
right of each shareholder to require redemption or exchange of Shares of any Portfolio:
(a) during any period when any of the principal stock exchanges, regulated market or any other regulated market in
a member state or in an other state, on which a substantial portion of the Corporation’s investments attributable to
such Portfolio is quoted, or when one or more foreign exchange markets in the currency in which a substantial portion
of the assets of the Portfolio is denominated, are closed otherwise than for ordinary holidays or during which dealings
are substantially restricted or suspended; or
54856
(b) political, economic, military, monetary or other emergency beyond the control, liability and influence of the Cor-
poration makes the disposal of the assets of any Portfolio impossible under normal conditions or such disposal would
be detrimental to the interests of the shareholders;
(c) during any breakdown in the means of communication network normally employed in determining the price of
any of the relevant Portfolio’s investments or the current prices on any market or stock exchange or any other reason
makes it impossible to determine the value of a major portion of the assets of any Portfolio; or
(d) during any period when remittance or transfer of monies which will or may be involved in the realization of, or
in the payment of the relevant Portfolio’s investments or in the redemption of Shares is not possible or where it can be
objectively demonstrated that purchases and sales of the assets of any Portfolio cannot be effected at normal prices; or
(e) in case of a decision to liquidate the Corporation or a Portfolio, on and after the day of publication of the first
notice convening the general meeting of shareholders for this purpose or given to this effect.
The Corporation shall suspend the issue, the exchange and redemption of Shares of any class within a Portfolio forth-
with upon the occurrence of an event causing it to enter into liquidation or upon the order of the Luxembourg super-
visory authority.
Any suspension shall be published, if appropriate, by the Corporation and shareholders requesting redemption or
exchange of their Shares shall be notified by the Corporation of the suspension at the time of the filing of the written
request for such exchange and redemption.
The suspension as to any Portfolio will have no effect on the determination of Net Asset Value and the issue, re-
demption or exchange of Shares in any class of the other Portfolios.»
8. Amendment of the content of the former Article 21 of the Articles, newly Article 24 of the Articles, so as to read
as follows:
«Art. 24. Calculation of the Net Asset Value per Share. The Net Asset Value per Share of each class of each
Portfolio shall be expressed as a per Share figure and shall be determined in respect of any Valuation Date by dividing
the value of the total assets of the relevant class of each Portfolio less the liabilities attributable to such class, by the
total number of outstanding Shares of the relevant class.
If since the last valuation of the relevant date there has been a material change in the quotations on the markets on
which a substantial portion of the investments of the Corporation attributable to a particular Portfolio to which the
relevant class of shares belong are dealt or quoted, the Corporation may, in order to safeguard the interests of the
shareholders and of the Corporation, cancel the first valuation and carry out a second valuation, provided that in such
case all subscriptions, exchanges and redemptions to be effected on the basis of the first valuation must be made on the
basis of such second valuation.
The Net Asset Value per Share is stated in the currency in which the relevant class of such Portfolio’s Shares is de-
nominated.
The calculation of the Net Asset Value of the different classes of Shares shall be made in the following manner.
The assets of the Corporation shall be deemed to include:
(1) all cash on hand or on deposit, including any interest accrued thereon;
(2) all bills and demand notes and accounts receivable (including proceeds of securities sold but not delivered) except
those receivable from a subsidiary of the Corporation;
(3) all bonds, time notes, shares, stock, debenture stocks, subscription rights, warrants, options and other invest-
ments and securities owned or contracted for by the Corporation;
(4) all stock, stock dividends, cash dividends and cash distributions receivable by the Corporation to the extent in-
formation thereon is reasonably available to the Corporation (provided that the Corporation may make adjustments
with regard to fluctuations in the market value of securities caused by trading ex-dividends, ex-rights, or by similar prac-
tices);
(5) all interest accrued on any interest-bearing securities owned by the Corporation, except to the extent that the
same is included or reflected in the principal amount of such security;
(6) the preliminary expenses of the Corporation insofar as the same have not been written off, provided that such
preliminary expenses may be written off directly from the capital of the Corporation; and
(7) all other assets of every kind and nature, including prepaid expenses.
The assets shall be valued in accordance with the following principles and as laid down in valuation regulations and
guidelines approved by the Board from time to time (the «Valuation Regulations»):
(i) the value of any cash on hand or on deposit, bills and demand notes and accounts receivable, prepaid expenses,
cash dividends and interest declared or accrued as aforesaid and not yet received shall be deemed to be the full amount
thereof, unless in any case the same is unlikely to be paid or received in full, in which case the value thereof shall be
arrived at after making such discount as the Corporation may consider appropriate in such case to reflect the true value
thereof;
(ii) the value of transferable securities, money market instruments and any financial assets listed or dealt in on a stock
exchange or on a regulated market, or any other regulated market, are generally valued at the last available known price
in the relevant market prior to the time of valuation, or any other price deemed appropriate by the Board. Fixed income
securities not traded on such markets are generally valued at the last available price or yield equivalents obtained from
one or more dealers or pricing services approved by the Board, or any other price deemed appropriate by the Board;
(iii) if such prices are not representative of their value, such securities are stated at market value or otherwise at the
fair value at which it is expected they may be resold, as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board;
(iv) money market instruments with a remaining maturity of 90 days or less will be valued by the amortized cost meth-
od, which approximates market value. Under this valuation method, the relevant Portfolio’s investments are valued at
their acquisition cost as adjusted for amortisation of premium or accretion of discount rather than at market value;
54857
(v) units or shares of open-ended undertakings for collective investment will be valued at their last determined and
available net asset value or, if such price is not representative of the fair market value of such assets, then the price shall
be determined by the Corporation on a fair and equitable basis. Units or shares of a closed-ended undertaking for col-
lective investment will be valued at their last available stock market value;
(vi) the liquidating value of futures, forward or options contracts not traded on a stock exchange or on regulated
markets, or on other regulated markets shall mean their net liquidating value determined, pursuant to the policies es-
tablished by the Board, on a basis consistently applied for each different variety of contracts. The value of futures, for-
ward or options contracts traded on a stock exchange or on regulated markets, or on other regulated markets shall be
based upon the last available settlement or closing prices as applicable to these contracts on a stock exchange or on
regulated markets, or on other regulated markets on which the particular futures, forward or options contracts are
traded on behalf of the Corporation; provided that if a future, forward or options contract could not be liquidated on
the day with respect to which assets are being determined, the basis for determining the liquidating value of such con-
tract shall be such value as the Board may deem fair and reasonable;
(vii) interest rate swaps will be valued on the basis of their market value established by reference to the applicable
interest rate curve.
Credit default swaps and total return swaps will be valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Board. As
these swaps are not exchange-traded, but are private contracts into which the Corporation and a swap counterparty
enter as principals, the data inputs for valuation models are usually established by reference to active markets. However
it is possible that such market data will not be available for credit default swaps and total return swaps near the Valuation
Date. Where such markets inputs are not available, quoted market data for similar instruments (e.g. a different under-
lying instrument for the same or a similar reference entity) will be used provided that appropriate adjustments be made
to reflect any differences between the credit default swaps and total return swaps being valued and the similar financial
instrument for which a price is available. Market input data and prices may be sourced from exchanges, a broker, an
external pricing agency or a counterparty.
If no such market input data are available, credit default swaps and total return swaps will be valued at their fair value
pursuant to a valuation method adopted by the Board which shall be a valuation method widely accepted as good market
practice (i.e. used by active participants on setting prices in the market place or which has demonstrated to provide
reliable estimate of market prices) provided that adjustments that the Board may deem fair and reasonable be made.
The Corporation’s auditor will review the appropriateness of the valuation methodology used in valuing credit default
swaps and total return swaps. In any way the Corporation will always value credit default swaps and total return swaps
on an arm-length basis.
All other swaps, will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the
Board;
(viii) all other securities, instruments and other assets will be valued at fair market value, as determined in good faith
pursuant to procedures established by the Board;
(ix) assets denominated in a currency other than that in which the relevant Net Asset Value will be expressed, will
be converted at the relevant foreign currency spot rate on the relevant Valuation Date. In that context account shall be
taken of hedging instruments used to cover foreign exchange risks.
The Corporation is entitled to deviate from the valuation rules set out in (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above in valuing
the assets attributable to any given class by adding to the prices referred to in (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above an
amount reflecting the estimated cost of the acquisition of corresponding assets, in the event the Corporation expects
further investments to be made on behalf of the Portfolio to which such class belongs, or by deducting from the prices
referred to in (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above an amount reflecting the estimated cost of the disposal of such assets,
in the event the Corporation expects investments attributable to such Portfolio to which such class belongs to be sold.
The Board, in its discretion, may permit some other method of valuation to be used if it considers that such valuation
better reflects the fair value of any asset of the Corporation.
Any assets or liabilities initially expressed in terms of foreign currencies are translated into the relevant currency at
the prevailing market rates at the time of valuation.
The Net Asset Value per Share shall be rounded to the next minimum currency unit.
The liabilities of the Corporation shall be deemed to include:
(1) all loans, bills and accounts payable, except those payable to any subsidiary;
(2) all accrued or payable administrative expenses (including investment management fee, custodian fee and corporate
agents’ fees);
(3) all known liabilities, present and future, including all matured contractual obligations for payments of money or
property, including the amount of any unpaid dividends declared by the Corporation where the Valuation Date falls on
the record date for determination of the person entitled thereto or is subsequent thereto;
(4) an appropriate provision for future taxes based on capital and income to the Valuation Date, as determined from
time to time by the Corporation, and other reserves, if any, authorised and approved by the Board; and
(5) all other liabilities of the Corporation of whatever kind and nature. In determining the amount of such liabilities
the Corporation shall take into account all expenses payable by the Corporation which shall comprise formation ex-
penses, fees and expenses payable to its investment advisors or investment managers, accountants, custodian, domicil-
iary, registrar and transfer agents, any paying agents and permanent representatives in places of registration, any
distributor, any other agent employed by the Corporation, fees for legal or auditing services, promotional, printing, re-
porting and publishing expenses, including the cost of advertising, preparing, translating and printing costs (including the
printing of prospectuses, explanatory memoranda, registration statements, or annual and semi-annual reports as well as
the calculation and publication of Net Asset Value per Share), stock exchange listing costs and the costs of obtaining any
54858
registration with an authorisation from governmental charges and all other operating expenses including the cost of buy-
ing and selling assets, interest, bank charges and brokerage, postage, telephone and facsimile transmissions. The Corpo-
ration may calculate administrative and other expenses of a regular or recurring nature and on estimated figure for
yearly or other periods in advance, and may accrue the same in equal proportions over any such period.
All valuation regulations and determinations shall be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In
the absence of bad faith, gross negligence and manifest error, the valuation regulations decided by the Board and every
decision taken by the Board or by a delegate of the Board calculating the Net Asset Value shall be final and binding on
the Corporation and present, past or future shareholders. The result of each calculation of the Net Asset Value and the
Net Asset Value per Share shall be certified by a Director or a duly authorised person.
For the sole purpose of the Net Asset Value computation and subject as provided in Article 21 above:
a) Shares to be redeemed under Article 21 hereof shall be treated as existing and taken into account until immediately
after the close of business on the relevant Valuation Date, and from such time until paid the price therefore shall be
deemed to be a liability of the Corporation;
b) Shares to be issued by the Corporation shall be treated as being in issue as from the time specified by the Board
on the Valuation Date on which such valuation is made and from such time and until received by the Corporation the
price therefore shall be deemed to be a debt due to the Corporation;
c) all investments, cash balances and other assets of the Corporation expressed in currencies other than the U.S.
Dollar, shall be valued after taking into account the prevailing market rate or rates of exchange in force at the date of
determination of the Net Asset Value of Shares.
d) effect shall be given on any Valuation Date to any redemptions or sales of securities contracted for by the Corpo-
ration on such Valuation Date, to the extent applicable.
e) pooling
The Corporation may invest and manage all or any part of the assets established for two or more Portfolios (for the
purposes hereof «Participating Portfolios») on a pooled basis. Any such asset pool shall be formed by transferring to it
cash or other assets (subject to such assets being appropriate in respect of the investment policy of the pool concerned)
from each of the Participating Portfolios. Thereafter, the Corporation may from time to time make further transfers to
each asset pool. Assets may also be transferred back to a Participating Portfolio up to the amount of the participation
of the Portfolio concerned. The Share of a Participating Portfolio in an asset pool shall be measured by reference to
notional units of equal value in the asset pool. On formation of an asset pool, the Corporation shall determine the initial
value of notional units (which shall be expressed in such currency as the Corporation may consider appropriate) and
shall allocate to each Participating Portfolio notional units having an aggregate value equal to the amount of cash (or the
value of other assets) contributed. Thereafter, the value of the units shall be determined by dividing the net assets of
the asset pool by the number of notional units existing.
When additional cash or assets are contributed to or withdrawn from an asset pool, the allocation of notional units
of the Participating Portfolio concerned will be increased or reduced, as the case may be, by a number of notional units
determined by dividing the amount of cash or the value of assets contributed or withdrawn by the current value of a
Share a unit in such asset pool. Where a contribution is made in cash, it may be treated for the purpose of this calculation
as reduced by an amount which the Corporation considers appropriate to reflect fiscal charges and dealing and purchase
costs which may be incurred in investing the cash concerned; in the case of cash withdrawal, a corresponding deduction
may be made to reflect costs which may be incurred in realising securities or other assets of the asset pool.
Dividends, interest and other distributions of an income nature earned in respect of the assets in an asset pool will
be applied to such asset pool and cause the respective net assets to increase. Upon the dissolution of the Corporation,
the assets in an asset pool will be allocated to the Participating Portfolios in proportion to their respective participation
in the asset pool.
The Board shall establish a portfolio of assets for each class of Shares in the following manner:
a) the proceeds from the allotment and issue of each class of Shares within the relevant Portfolio shall be applied in
the books of the Corporation to the pool of assets established for that class of Shares, and the assets and liabilities and
income and expenditure attributable thereto shall be applied to such pool subject to the provisions of this Article;
b) where any asset is derived from another asset, such derivative asset shall be applied in the books of the Corpora-
tion to the same pool as the asset from which it was derived and on each re-evaluation of an asset, the increase or
diminution in value shall be applied to the relevant pool;
c) where the Corporation incurs a liability which relates to any asset of a particular pool or to any action taken in
connection with an asset of a particular pool, such liability shall be allocated to the relevant pool;
d) in the case where any asset or liability of the Corporation cannot be considered as being attributable to a particular
pool, such asset or liability shall be allocated to all the pools pro rata to the Net Asset Values of the relevant class(es)
of Shares within the relevant Portfolio, provided that the Board may reallocate any asset or liability previously allocated
by them if in their opinion circumstances so require; and the Board may in the books of the Corporation appropriate
an asset or liability from one pool of assets to another if for any reason (including, but not limited to, a creditor pro-
ceeding against certain assets of the Corporation) an asset or a liability would but for such appropriation not have been
borne wholly or partly in the manner determined by the Board under this Article; provided that each Portfolio shall be
exclusively responsible for all liabilities attributed to it;
e) upon the payment, or the occurrence of the record date, if determined, for payment, of dividends to the holders
of Shares in any class within a Portfolio, the Net Asset Value of such class of Share, shall be reduced by the amount of
such dividends;
f) if there have been created, as provided in Article 5 within a Portfolio, classes of shares, the allocations rules set
forth above shall be applicable mutatis mutandis to such classes of shares.

Claims of third parties against the Corporation shall be accounted for in the relevant class of Shares.
Each Portfolio shall be liable only for its own debts and obligations.»
II. Resolved to approve the additional amendments and revisions made to the Articles and in particular:
1. Amendment of the content of Article 1 of the Articles, so as to read as follows:
«Art. 1. Name. There is hereby established among the subscribers and all those who may become owners of Shares
issued, as defined hereinafter, a corporation in the form of a «société anonyme» under the name of AMERICAN
EXPRESS FUNDS (the «Corporation»), qualifying as a «société d’investissement à capital variable».»
2. Deletion of the second last paragraph of Article 6 of the Articles and reclassification of the last three paragraphs
thereof and splitting into a new Article 7 headed «Replacement of Lost Share Certificate», so as to read as follows:
«Art. 7. Replacement of Lost Share Certificates. If any shareholder can prove to the satisfaction of the Cor-
poration that his or her Certificate has been mislaid or destroyed, then, at his or her request, a replacement Certificate
may be issued subject to such conditions and guarantees (including, but without limitation thereto, a bond delivered by
an insurance company) as the Corporation may determine. Any such Certificate shall be issued to replace the one that
has been lost only if the Corporation is satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the original has been destroyed and then
only in accordance with all applicable laws.
Upon the issuance of a new Certificate, on which it shall be recorded that it is a replacement Certificate, the original
Certificate in place of which the new one has been issued shall become void.
The Corporation may, at its election, charge the shareholders for the costs of a replacement Certificate and all rea-
sonable expenses incurred by the Corporation in connection with the issuance and registration thereof, or in connec-
tion with the voiding of the former Certificate.»
3. Amendment of the former Article 7 and merger thereof with the former Article 8 of the Articles, so as to read as
follows:
«Art. 8. Restriction on Ownership of Shares. The Board shall have power to impose such restrictions as it may
think necessary for the purpose of ensuring that no Shares in the Corporation are acquired or held by:
(a) any person in breach of the law or requirement of any country or governmental authority; or
(b) any person in circumstances which in the opinion of the Board might result in the Corporation incurring any lia-
bility to taxation or suffering any other pecuniary disadvantage which the Corporation might not otherwise have in-
curred or suffered; or
(c) any person in circumstances which, in the opinion of the Board, may cause detriment to the Corporation or to
the shareholders.
More specifically, the Corporation may restrict or prevent the ownership of Shares in the Corporation by any person,
firm or corporate body, and without limitation, by any «U.S. person», as defined hereafter. For such purposes the Cor-
poration may:
a) decline to issue any Shares or to register any transfer of Shares where it appears to it that such issue or registry
would or might result in beneficial ownership of such Shares by a restricted person;
b) at any time require any person whose name is entered in, or any person seeking to register the transfer of Shares
on, the Register to furnish it with any information which it may consider necessary for the purpose of determining
whether or not beneficial ownership of such shareholder’s Shares rests or will rest in a restricted person;
c) where it appears to the Corporation that any restricted person, either alone or in conjunction with any other
person, is a beneficial owner of Shares, compulsorily purchase from such shareholder all Shares held by it in the following
manner:
(i) the Corporation shall serve a notice (hereafter called the «Purchase Notice») upon the shareholder bearing such
Shares or appearing in the Register as the owner of the Shares to be purchased, specifying the Shares to be purchased
as aforesaid, the price to be paid for such Shares and the place where the purchase price in respect of such Shares is
payable. Any such notice may be served upon such shareholder by posting the same in a prepaid registered envelope
addressed to the shareholder at his or her last address known to or appearing in the Register of the Corporation. The
said shareholder shall thereupon forthwith be obliged to deliver to the Corporation the Certificate or Certificates re-
lating to the Shares specified in the Purchase Notice. Immediately after the close of business on the date specified in the
Purchase Notice, such shareholder will cease to be the owner of the Shares specified in such notice and, if appropriate,
his or her name shall be removed from the Register;
(ii) the price at which the Shares specified in any Purchase Notice shall be purchased (herein called the «Purchase
Price») shall be an amount equal to the per Net Asset Value Share, determined in accordance with Article 24 hereof;
(iii) payment of the Purchase Price will be made to the owner of such Shares in the currency of the class of Shares
concerned, except during periods of currency exchange restrictions with respect thereto, and will be deposited by the
Corporation in Luxembourg or elsewhere (as specified in the Purchase Notice) for payment to such owner upon sur-
render of the Certificate or Certificates relating to the Shares specified in such notice. Upon deposit of such price as
aforesaid no person interested in the Shares specified in the Purchase Notice shall have any further interest in such
Shares, or any claim against the Corporation or its assets in respect thereof, except the right of the person appearing
as the owner thereof to receive the price so deposited (without interest) upon effective surrender of the Certificate or
Certificates as aforesaid;
(iv) the exercise by the Corporation of the powers conferred by this Article shall not be questioned or invalidated
in any case, on the ground that there was insufficient evidence of ownership of Shares by any person or that the true
ownership of any Shares was otherwise than appeared to the Corporation at the date of any Purchase Notice, provided
that in each case the said powers were exercised by the Corporation in good faith; and
54860
d) decline to accept the vote of any restricted person at any meeting of shareholders of the Corporation.
Whenever used in these Articles, the term «U.S. person» shall mean a person as defined in Regulation S of the U.S.
Securities Act of 1933, as amended («Securities Act») and thus shall include, but not be limited to:
(a) any natural person resident in the United States;
(b) any partnership or corporation organised or incorporated
under the laws of the United States;
(c) any estate of which any executor or administrator is a U.S. person;
(d) any trust of which any trustee is a U.S. Person;
(e) any agency or branch of a foreign entity located in the United States;
(f) any non-discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held by a dealer, or other fiduciary
for the benefit or account of a U.S. Person;
(g) any discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held by a dealer or other fiduciary
organised, incorporated, or (if an individual) resident in the United States; and
(h) any partnership or corporation if:
(1) organised or incorporated under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction; and
(2) formed by a U.S. Person principally for the purpose of investing in securities not registered under the Securities
Act, unless it is organised or incorporated, and owned, by accredited investors (as defined in Rule 501(a) under the
Securities Act) who are not natural persons, estates or trusts; but shall not include:
(I.) any discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held for the benefit or account of a
non-U.S. Person by a dealer or other professional fiduciary organised, incorporated, or (if an individual) resident in the
United States or
(II.) any estate of which any professional fiduciary acting as executor or administrator is a U.S. Person if an executor
or administrator of the estate who is not a US Person has sole or shared investment discretion with respect to the
assets of the estate and the estate is governed by foreign law.»
4. Amendment of the content of Article 9 of the Articles, so as to read as follows:
«Art. 9. Representation. Any properly constituted meeting of shareholders of the Corporation shall represent
the entire body of the shareholders of the Corporation. Its resolutions shall be binding upon all shareholders of the
Corporation regardless of the class of Shares held by them. It shall have the broadest powers to order, carry out or
ratify acts relating to the operations of the Corporation.»
5. Amendment of the content of Article 10 of the Articles, so as to read as follows:
«Art. 10. General Meetings of Shareholders of the Corporation. The annual general meeting of shareholders
shall be held in accordance with Luxembourg law at the registered office of the Corporation or at such other place in
Luxembourg as may be specified in the notice of meeting, on the last Friday in the month of July at 2p.m. of each year.
If such day is not a bank business day in Luxembourg, the annual general meeting shall be held on the next following
bank business day in Luxembourg. The annual general meeting may be held abroad if, in the absolute and final judgment
of the Board, exceptional circumstances so require.
Other meetings of shareholders may be held at such place and period of notice as may be specified in the respective
notices of meeting.
The quorum and time required by law shall govern the notice for and the conduct of the meetings of shareholders
of the Corporation, unless otherwise provided herein.
Each whole Share of whatever class and regardless of its Net Asset Value is entitled to one vote, subject to the lim-
itations imposed by these Articles. A shareholder may act at any meeting of shareholders by appointing another person
as his or her proxy in writing or by cable, telegram, or by any similar means of communication deemed acceptable by
the Board.
Except as otherwise required by law, resolutions at a meeting of shareholders duly convened will be passed by a sim-
ple majority of the Shares present or represented and voting.
The Board may determine all other conditions which must be fulfilled by shareholders for them to take part in any
meeting of shareholders.»
6. Amendment of Article 11 of the Articles, so as to read as follows:
«Art. 11. Notice of Shareholders Meetings. Shareholders will meet upon a call of the Board pursuant to a notice
setting forth the agenda, sent by mail at least 8 days prior to the date of the general meeting, to the shareholders’ address
in the Register, provided the Corporation shall not be bound to evidence the accomplishment of such notice.
If bearer Shares are issued, notice shall, in addition, be published in the Mémorial, Recueil des Sociétés et Associations
of Luxembourg, in a Luxembourg newspaper, and in such other newspaper as the Board may decide.
However, if all shareholders are present or represented at a shareholders’ meeting and if they declare themselves to
be fully informed of its agenda, the meeting may be held without notice or publicity having been given or made.»
7. Addition of a new Article 12 headed «Article 12. General Meetings of Shareholders in a Portfolio or in a Class of
Shares», so as to read as follows:
«Art. 12. General Meetings of Shareholders in a Portfolio or in a Class of Shares. The shareholders of the
class or classes issued in respect of any Portfolio may hold, at any time, general meetings to decide on any matters which
relate exclusively to such Portfolio. In addition, the shareholders of any class of Shares may hold, at any time, general
meetings for any matters which are specific to such class.
54861
The provisions of Article 10 shall apply to such general meetings. Each Share is entitled to one vote in compliance
with Luxembourg law and these Articles. Shareholders may act either in person or by giving a written proxy to another
person who needs not be a shareholder and may be a Director of the Corporation.
Unless otherwise provided for by law or herein, the resolutions of the general meeting of shareholders of a Portfolio
or of a class of Shares are passed by a simple majority vote of the shareholders present or represented.»
8. Amendment of the content of the former Article 12 of the Articles, newly Article 13 of the Articles, so as to read
as follows:
«Art. 13. Board of Directors. The Corporation shall be managed by a Board composed of at least three members
who need not be shareholders of the Corporation.
Subject as provided below and subject to the provision in the previous paragraph, the Directors shall be elected by
the shareholders at a general meeting, for a period not to exceed the maximum term provided by Luxembourg law and
until their successors are elected and have accepted such appointment or, if later, ending at the date of such election
and acceptance, provided, however, that a Director may be removed with or without cause and/or replaced at any time
by resolution adopted by the shareholders. In the event of vacancy in the office of Director because of death, retirement
or otherwise, the remaining Directors may meet and may elect by majority vote, a Director to fill such vacancy until
the next meeting of shareholders.
At least 7 days’ previous notice in writing shall be given to the Corporation of the intention of any shareholder to
propose any person other than a retiring Director for election to the office of Director and such notice shall be accom-
panied by notice in writing signed by the person to be proposed confirming his or her willingness to be appointed; pro-
vided always that if the shareholders present at a general meeting unanimously consent, the chairman of such meeting
may waive the said notices and submit to the meeting the name of any person so nominated.
At a general meeting of the shareholders a motion for the appointment of two or more persons as Directors of the
Corporation by a single resolution shall not be made unless a resolution that it shall be so made has been first agreed
to by the meeting without any vote being given against it.
The Board is vested with the broadest powers to perform all acts of administration and disposition in the Corpora-
tion’s interest. All powers not expressly reserved by law or by these Articles to the general meeting of shareholders
may be exercised by the Board.»
9. Amendment of the content of the former Article 13 of the Articles, newly Article 14 of the Articles, so as to read
as follows:
«Art. 14. Board of Directors Meetings. The Board shall appoint from among its members a chairman and may
appoint from among its members a Vice-Chairman. It may also appoint a secretary, who need not be a Director, who
shall be responsible for keeping the minutes of the meetings of the Board and of the shareholders. A meeting of the
Board may be convened by the chairman or by two Directors, at the place indicated in the notice of the meeting.
The chairman shall preside at all meetings of shareholders and of the Board, but in his absence the shareholders or
the Board may appoint another person as chairman pro tempore by vote of the majority present at any such meeting.
The Board may from time to time appoint the officers of the Corporation, including a general manager, a secretary,
and any assistant general managers, assistant secretaries or other officers considered necessary for the operation and
management of the Corporation. Any such appointment may be revoked at any time by the Board. Officers need not
be Directors or shareholders of the Corporation. The officers so appointed, unless otherwise stipulated in these Arti-
cles, shall have the powers and duties given to them by the Board.
In particular the Board may, in compliance with the 2002 law, delegate its powers to conduct the daily management
and affairs of the Corporation and its powers to carry out in furtherance of the corporate policy and purpose to physical
persons or corporate entities which need not be members of the Board, acting under the supervision of the Board and
which may further delegate their powers within the limits set forth by the 2002 Law. The Board may also delegate any
of its powers, authorities and discretions to any committee, consisting of such person or persons (whether a member
or members of the Board or not) as it thinks fit.
The Board may also confer special powers of attorney by notarial or private proxy.
Written notice of any meeting of the Board shall be given to all Directors at least 24 hours in advance of the hour
set for such meeting, except in circumstances of emergency, in which case the nature of the circumstances shall be set
forth in the notice of meeting. This notice may be waived by the consent in writing or by cable, telegram of each Director
or any other means of communication deemed acceptable by the Directors. Separate notice shall not be required for
individual meetings held at times and places prescribed in a schedule previously adopted by resolution of the Board.
A Director may act at a meeting of the Board by appointing in writing or by cable, telegram, or any other means of
communication deemed acceptable by the Directors, another Director as his or her proxy.
Directors may also cast their vote in writing or by facsimile transmission or any other means of communication
deemed acceptable by the other Directors.
The meetings of the Board may also be made by conference call and video-conference.
The Directors may only act at duly convened meetings of the Board. Directors may not bind the Corporation by
their individual acts, except as specifically permitted by resolution of the Board.
Except as stated below, the Board can deliberate or act validly only if at least a majority of the Directors is in attend-
ance (which may be by way of a conference telephone call or video-conference) or represented at a meeting of the
Board. Decisions shall be taken by a majority of the votes of the Directors present or represented at such meeting.
In the event that in any meeting the number of votes for and against a resolution shall be equal, the chairman shall
have a casting vote.
54862
The Directors may also adopt by unanimous vote a circular resolution, which can be effected by each Director ex-
pressing his consent on one or several separate identical instruments in writing or by telegram or any other means of
communication deemed acceptable by the Directors (in each such case confirmed in writing), which shall together con-
stitute appropriate minutes evidencing such decision as of the date of the last signatory thereof.»
10. Amendment of the content of the former Article 18 of the Articles, newly Article 19 of the Articles, so as to read
as follows:
«Art. 19. Corporate Signature. Vis-à-vis third parties, the Corporation will be bound by:
(a) the joint signatures of any two Directors of the Corporation, or
(b) the joint or single signature of an officer or officers to whom authority has been delegated by the Board, or
(c) the single signature of a Director to whom authority has been delegated by the Board, or
(d) in any other way determined by a resolution of the Board.»
11. Amendment of the content of the former Article 20 of the Articles, newly Article 21 of the Articles, so as to read
as follows:
«Art. 21. Redemption of Shares. The Corporation has the power to acquire Shares for its own account.
A shareholder of the Corporation may request the Corporation to redeem all or any lesser number of his or her
Shares and the Corporation will in this case redeem such Shares subject to any suspension event as referred to in Article
23 hereof, provided that in the case of request for redemption or exchange of part of his or her Shares, the Corporation
may, if compliance with such request would result in an aggregate residual holding of less than an amount or number of
Shares as the Board may determine from time to time, redeem all the remaining Shares held by such shareholder.
The Corporation shall not be bound to redeem or exchange on any Valuation Date more than 10 per cent of the
number of Shares of any class or Portfolio in issue on such Valuation Date. Redemptions or exchanges may be deferred
for a period that the Board considers to be in the best interest of the Corporation after the date of receipt of the re-
demption or exchange request subject to the foregoing limits. In case of deferral of redemptions or exchanges the rel-
evant Shares shall, as in all other cases, be redeemed or exchanged at a price determined as provided herein prevailing
at the date on which the redemption or exchange is effected. Any deferred redemptions or exchanges shall be treated
in priority to any redemptions or exchanges received for subsequent Valuation Dates.
A redemption request shall be irrevocable, except in case of and during any period of suspension of redemptions as
aforesaid and in the event of suspension of redemption pursuant to Article 23 hereof. In the absence of revocation,
redemption will occur, in the event of reduction, as aforesaid, and in the event of suspension under Article 23 hereof,
as of the first Valuation Date after such reduction or after the end of the suspension.
The Corporation shall have the right, if the Board so determines, to satisfy payment of the redemption price to any
shareholder who agrees, in specie, by allocating to the holder investments from the portfolio of assets set up in con-
nection with such class or classes of Shares equal in value (calculated in the manner described in Article 24) as of the
Valuation Date on which the redemption price is calculated, to the value of the Shares to be redeemed. The nature and
type of assets to be transferred in such case shall be determined on a fair and reasonable basis and without prejudicing
the interests of the other shareholders of the relevant class or classes of Shares and the valuation used shall be con-
firmed by a special report of the auditor of the Corporation. The costs of any such transfers shall be borne by the trans-
feree.
Whenever the Corporation shall redeem Shares, the price at which such Shares shall be redeemed by the Corpora-
tion shall, subject as provided in this Article, be based on the Net Asset Value per Share of the relevant class within the
relevant Portfolio determined on the Valuation Date when or immediately after a written and irrevocable redemption
request is received, (or determined on such other date decided by the Board and disclosed in the Prospectus) less a
redemption charge of not in excess of 2 percent thereof (and, if applicable, a contingent deferred sales charge of not in
excess of 5 per cent assessed on the lower of cost or Net Asset Value) as may be decided by the Board from time to
time and described in the current prospectus, PROVIDED THAT the request is received by the Corporation, or by the
agent appointed by it to this effect, by a time specified by the Board, together with any relevant Certificates. In addition,
the Corporation may assess a market timing penalty charge in an amount to be determined by the Board from time to
time, and set out in the Prospectus.»
12. Addition of a new Article 22 headed «Exchange of Shares» including provisions of the former Article 20 of the
Articles, so as to read as follows:
«Art. 22. Exchange of Shares. Any shareholder may request the exchange of the whole or part of his or her
Shares of the relevant class within a relevant Portfolio into Shares of the same class of another Portfolio, or a different
class of the same Portfolio or of a different Portfolio, as determined from time to time by the Board, provided that the
Board may impose such restrictions as to, inter alia, frequency of exchange, and may make exchange subject to payment
of such charge, including the market timing penalty, as it shall determine and disclose in the Prospectus.
Shares of the capital stock of the Corporation redeemed by it shall be cancelled as of the date of effect of the re-
demption.»
13. Deletion of the former Article 23 of the Articles.
14. Introduction of a new Article 26 headed «Custodian», so as to read as follows:
«Art. 26. Custodian. The Corporation shall enter into a custodian agreement with a bank which shall satisfy the
requirements of the 2002 Law (the «Custodian»). All securities and cash of the Corporation are to be held by or to the
order of the Custodian who shall assume towards the Corporation and its shareholders the responsibilities provided
by Law.
54863
In the event of the Custodian desiring to retire the Board shall use their best endeavours to find a company to act
as custodian and upon doing so, the Directors shall appoint such company to be custodian in place of the retiring Cus-
todian. The Directors may terminate the appointment of the Custodian, but shall not remove the Custodian unless and
until a successor custodian shall have been appointed in accordance with this provision to act in the place thereof.»
15. Amendment of the content of the former Article 25 of the Articles, newly Article 27 of the Articles, so as to read
as follows:
«Art. 27. Accounting Year. The accounting year of the Corporation shall begin on 1st April of each year and shall
terminate on the 31st March of the subsequent year. The accounts of the Corporation shall be expressed in U.S. Dollars.
When there shall be different classes of Shares as provided for in Article 5 hereof, and if the accounts within such classes
are expressed in different currencies, such accounts shall be translated into U.S. Dollars and added together for the
purpose of the determination of the accounts of the Corporation.»
16. Amendment of the content of the former Article 26 of the Articles, newly Article 28 of the Articles, so as to read
as follows:
«Art. 28. Distribution. Dividends, if any, will be declared on the number of Shares outstanding at the dividend
record date, as that date is determined by the Board in the case of an interim dividend or by the General Meeting of
shareholders of the Corporation in the case of the final dividend, and will be paid to the holders of such Shares within
two months of such declaration.
The Board may declare and pay an interim dividend, based on interim financial accounts and in accordance with all
applicable laws.
Any resolution deciding on dividends to be declared to the relevant class of Shares of any Portfolio shall be approved
solely by vote in a class meeting held without quorum requirement, at a simple majority, of the shareholders of the
relevant class of Shares.
Dividends, if any, shall be paid in the reference currency of the relevant class of Shares or Portfolio or in any other
currency as provided in the sales documents of the Corporation.
If the Board has decided, in accordance with the provisions of Article 5 hereof, to create within each Portfolio dif-
ferent classes of Shares where one class entitles to dividends («Dividend Shares») and the other class does not entitle
to dividends («Accumulation Shares»), dividends may only be declared and paid in accordance with the provisions of
this Article with respect to Dividend Shares and no dividends will be declared and paid with respect to Accumulation
Shares.
The Board may decide to distribute stock dividends in lieu of cash dividends upon such terms and conditions as may
be set forth by the Board.
No distribution may be made if after declaration of such distribution the Corporation’s capital is less than the mini-
mum imposed by the 2002 Law.»
17. Introduction of a new Article 29 headed «Dissolution of the Corporation», so as to read as follows:
«Art. 29. Dissolution of the Corporation. The Corporation may at any time be dissolved by a resolution of the
general meeting of shareholders subject to the quorum and majority requirements referred to in Article 32 hereof.
Whenever the share capital falls below two-thirds of the minimum capital indicated in Article 5 hereof, the question
of the dissolution of the Corporation shall be referred to the general meeting by the Board. The general meeting, for
which no quorum shall be required, shall decide by simple majority of the votes of the Shares represented at the meet-
ing.
The question of the dissolution of the Corporation shall further be referred to the general meeting whenever the
share capital falls below one-fourth of the minimum capital set by Article 5 hereof; in such an event, the general meeting
shall be held without any quorum requirements and the dissolution may be decided by shareholders holding one-fourth
of the votes of the Shares represented at the meeting.
The meeting must be convened so that it is held within a period of forty days from ascertainment that the net assets
of the Corporation have fallen below two-thirds or one-fourth of the legal minimum, as the case may be.»
18. Amendment of the content of the former Article 27, newly Article 30, so as to read as follows:
«Art. 30. Liquidation. In the event of a dissolution of the Corporation, liquidation shall be carried out by one or
several liquidators (who may be physical persons or legal entities) named by the meeting of shareholders deciding such
dissolution subject to the quorum and majority requirements referred to in Article 32 hereto and which shall determine
their powers and their compensation. The net proceeds of liquidation corresponding to each class of Shares shall be
distributed by the liquidators to the holders of Shares of each class in proportion of their holding of Shares in such class.
The liquidators shall take into account the rights of the Shares of the respective classes on the net assets relative to
their respective Portfolio.
Any funds to which shareholders are entitled upon the liquidation of the Corporation and which are not claimed by
those entitled thereto prior to the close of the liquidation process shall be deposited for the persons entitled thereto
at the Caisse de Consignation in Luxembourg in accordance with Article 107 of the 2002 Law.»
19. Introduction of a new Article 31 headed «Merger or Liquidation of Portfolios or Classes of Shares», so as to read
as follows:
«Art. 31. Merger or Liquidation of Portfolios or Classes of Shares. The Board may decide to liquidate one
Portfolio or class of Shares if a change in the economic or political situation relating to the Portfolio or class of Shares
concerned would justify such liquidation or, if for other reasons the Board believe it is required for the interests of the
54864
shareholders. The decision of the liquidation will be published (either in a newspaper in Luxembourg and in newspapers
issued in countries where the Shares are sold (insofar as required by applicable regulations), or sent to the shareholders
at their addresses indicated in the Register of Shareholders or communicated via other means as deemed appropriate
by the Board) prior to the effective date of the liquidation and the publication will indicate the reasons for, and the pro-
cedures of, the liquidation. Unless the Board otherwise decides in the interests of, or to keep equal treatment between,
the shareholders, the shareholders of the Portfolio or class of Shares concerned may continue to request redemption
or exchange of their Shares. Assets which cannot be distributed to their beneficiaries upon the completion of the liqui-
dation of the Portfolio or class of Shares concerned will be deposited with the Custodian for a period of six months
after the completion of the liquidation. After such time, the assets will be deposited with the Caisse de Consignation on
behalf of their beneficiaries.
Under the same circumstances as provided in the preceding paragraph, the Board may decide to liquidate one Port-
folio by contribution into another Portfolio. Such decision will be published in the same manner as described in the pre-
ceding paragraph and, in addition, the publication will contain information in relation to the new Portfolio. Such
publication will be made one month before the date on which the amalgamation becomes effective in order to enable
shareholders to request redemption of their Shares, free of charge, before the operation involving contribution into
another Portfolio becomes effective.
The Board may also, under the same circumstances as provided above, decide to liquidate one Portfolio by contri-
bution into another collective investment undertaking governed by the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Such
decision will be published in the same manner as described above and, in addition, the publication will contain informa-
tion in relation to the other collective investment undertaking. Such publication will be made within one month before
the date on which the merger becomes effective in order to enable shareholders to request redemption of their Shares,
free of charge, before the operation involving contribution into another collective investment undertaking becomes ef-
fective. In case of contribution to another collective investment undertaking of the mutual fund type (fonds commun de
placement), the merger will be binding only on shareholders of the relevant Portfolio who will expressly agree to the
merger. A Portfolio may exclusively be contributed to a foreign collective investment undertaking upon approval of the
shareholders of the classes of Shares issued in the Portfolio concerned or under the condition that only the assets of
the consenting shareholders be contributed to the foreign collective investment undertaking.
In the event that the Board determine that it is required for the interests of the shareholders of the relevant Portfolio
or that a change in the economic or political situation relating to the Portfolio concerned has occurred which would
justify it, the reorganisation of one Portfolio, by means of a division into two or more Portfolios, may be decided by the
Board. Such decision will be published in the same manner as described above and, in addition, the publication will con-
tain information in relation to the two or more new Portfolios. Such publication will be made within one month before
the date on which the reorganisation becomes effective in order to enable the shareholders to request redemption of
their Shares, free of charge before the operation involving division into two or more Portfolios becomes effective.
Any of the aforesaid decisions of liquidation, amalgamation, merger or reorganisation may also be decided by a sep-
arate meeting of the shareholders of the relevant class in the Portfolio concerned where no quorum is required and the
decision is taken at the single majority of the Shares voting at the meeting. Should future Portfolios be created for a
limited maturity, the procedure for liquidation, amalgamation, merger or reorganisation will be described in the sales
documents of the Corporation.»
III. Resolved to approve the minor formal and stylistic amendments made throughout the Articles as more fully re-
flected in such Articles.
There being no further business before the meeting, the same was thereupon adjourned.
The undersigned notary who speaks and understands English, states herewith that the present deed is worded in Eng-
lish followed by a French version; on request of the appearing persons and in case of divergences between the English
and the French text, the English version will be prevailing.
Whereof the present deed was drawn up in Luxembourg, on the day named at the beginning of this document.
The document having been read to the persons appearing, the members of the board signed together with the notary
the present deed.
