As a result of these reverse splits, every thirty-five, twenty-five, ten, eight, or five shares of a Fund
will be exchanged for one share as indicated in the table above. Accordingly, the total number of
the issued and outstanding shares for a Fund will decrease by the approximate percentage
indicated above. In addition, the per share net asset value ("NAV") and next day's opening market
price will be approximately thirty-five-, twenty-five-, ten-, eight-, or five-times higher for the Funds.
Shares of the Funds will begin trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the "NYSE Arca") on a split-
adjusted basis on April 23, 2020.

The next day's opening market value of the Funds' issued and outstanding shares, and thus a
shareholder's investment value, will not be affected by the reverse split. The tables below
illustrate the effect of a hypothetical one-for-thirty-five, one-for-twenty-five, one-for-ten, one-for-
eight, and one-for-five reverse split anticipated for the Funds, as applicable and described above:

1-for-35 Reverse Split

Period # of Shares Owned Hypothetical NAV Total Market Value


Pre-Split 350 $ 10 $3,500
Post-Split 10 $350 $3,500

1-for-25 Reverse Split

Period # of Shares Owned Hypothetical NAV Total Market Value


Pre-Split 250 $ 10 $2,500
Post-Split 10 $250 $2,500

1-for-10 Reverse Split

Period # of Shares Owned Hypothetical NAV Total Market Value


Pre-Split 100 $ 10 $1,000
Post-Split 10 $100 $1,000

1-for-8 Reverse Split

Period # of Shares Owned Hypothetical NAV Total Market Value


Pre-Split 80 $ 30 $2,400
Post-Split 10 $240 $2,400

1-for-5 Reverse Split

Period # of Shares Owned Hypothetical NAV Total Market Value


Pre-Split 50 $ 50 $2,500
Post-Split 10 $250 $2,500

The Trust's transfer agent will notify the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") of the reverse split
and instruct DTC to adjust each shareholder's investment(s) accordingly. DTC is the registered
owner of the Funds' shares and maintains a record of each Fund's record owners.

Redemption of Fractional Shares and Tax Consequences of the Reverse Split


As a result of the reverse splits, a shareholder of a Fund's shares potentially could hold a
fractional share. However, fractional shares cannot trade on the NYSE Arca. Thus, a Fund will
redeem for cash a shareholder's fractional shares at the Fund's split-adjusted NAV as of the
Record Date. Such redemption may have tax implications for those shareholders and a
2
Francisco Cruzado Coca - 2020

shareholder could recognize a gain or loss in connection with the redemption of the shareholder's
fractional shares. Otherwise, the reverse splits will not result in a taxable transaction for holders
of Fund shares. No transaction fee will be imposed on shareholders for such redemption.

"Odd Lot" Unit


Also as a result of the reverse splits, a Fund may have outstanding one aggregation of less than
50,000 shares to make a creation unit, or an "odd lot unit." Thus, a Fund will provide one
authorized participant with a one-time opportunity to redeem the odd lot unit at the split-adjusted
NAV or the NAV on such date the authorized participant seeks to redeem the odd lot unit.

Como resultado de estos Reverse Split, cada 35, 25, 10, 08 o 05 acciones de un Fondo se canjearán
por una “nueva” acción tal como se indica en la tabla anterior. En consecuencia, el número total de
acciones emitidas y en circulación para un Fondo disminuirá en el porcentaje aproximado antes
indicado. Adicionalmente, el Valor del Activo Neto ("NAV") y el precio de apertura del mercado al día
siguiente serán aproximadamente 35, 25, 10, 08 o 05 veces más altos para los Fondos. Las acciones
de los Fondos comenzarán a cotizarse en NYSE Arca, Inc. ("NYSE Arca") sobre la base de ajuste a
partir del 23 de abril de 2020.

Al día siguiente de apertura. el valor de mercado de las acciones emitidas y en circulación de los
Fondos, y por tanto, el valor de inversión de un accionista, no se verá afectado por el Reverse Split.
Las siguientes tablas ilustran, a modo de ejemplo, el efecto de un supuesto Reverse Split de 1 x 35,
1 x 25, 1 x 10, 1 x 8 y 1 x 5 prevista para los Fondos, según lo antes descrito:

1x35 Reverse Split


Periodo N° Acciones Poseidas Hipotetico NAV Total Valor de Mercado
Pre-Split 350 $ 10 $3,500
Post-Split 10 $350 $3,500

1x25 Reverse Split


Periodo N° Acciones Poseidas Hipotetico NAV Total Valor de Mercado
Pre-Split 250 $ 10 $2,500
Post-Split 10 $250 $2,500

1x10 Reverse Split

Pre-Split 100 $ 10 $1,000

Pre-Split 80 $ 30 $2,400
Post-Split 10 $240 $2,400

1x5 Reverse Split


Periodo N° Acciones Poseidas Hipotetico NAV Total Valor de Mercado
Pre-Split 50 $ 50 $2,500
Post-Split 10 $250 $2,500

El Agente del Fideicomiso notificará del Reverse Split al Depository Trust Company ("DTC") y le
indicará que debe ajustar las inversiones de cada accionista. En consecuencia, DTC es el propietario
registrado de las acciones de los Fondos y mantiene un registro de los propietarios registrados en
cada Fondo.

Redención de acciones fraccionarias y consecuencias fiscales de la división inversa


Como resultado del Reverse Split, el accionista de un Fondo podría tener fracciones de acciones,
pero las acciones fraccionarias no pueden negociarse en el NYSE Arca. Por tanto, el Fondo canjeará
por efectivo las acciones fraccionarias del accionista en el NAV ajustado por el Reverse Split a partir
5
Francisco Cruzado Coca - 2020

de la Fecha de registro. Dicha redención puede tener implicancias tributarias para los accionistas
pudiendo reconocer una ganancia/pérdida al momento de redimir las acciones fraccionarias del
accionista. De lo contrario, los Reverse Splits no dan lugar a una transacción afecta a impuestos para
los tenedores de acciones del Fondo. No se cobraran comisiones a los accionistas por la redención.

Unidad de "lote impar"

Como resultado de los Reverse Splits, un Fondo podrá agrupar al menos 50,000 acciones para crear
una nueva unidad o una "unidad de lote impar". Por tanto, un Fondo proporcionará al participante
autorizado la oportunidad de canjear la unidad de lote impar en el NAV ajustado por el Reverse Split
o el NAV, en la fecha en la cual dicho participante autorizado desee canjear la unidad de lote impar.
