UCITS AMUNDI ETF EURO STOXX 50 UCITS ETF

Informations about the Fund Classification Eurozone equities. Determination and allocation of distributable sums: Capitalization and/or distribution for the shares (EUR, USD and DAILY HEDGED USD). Capitalization for the share EUR (C). Tax treatment The Fund is eligible for the Plan d’Epargne en Actions ("PEA" reserved for French investors) and life insurance policies. The Fund may provide a support vehicle for life insurance policies denominated in units of account. The UCITS, by its nature, is not subject to taxation. However, unitholders may be taxed on any income distributed by the Fund or when they sell Fund units. The tax treatment applicable to amounts distributed by the Fund or unrealised or realised capital gains or losses will depend on the individual unitholder's tax situation, residence for tax purposes and/or the investment jurisdiction of the Fund. If an investor is uncertain of his or her tax position, the investor should consult a financial advisor or a professional investment consultant to determine the tax rules applicable to his or her particular situation before any investment. Some income distributed by the UCITS to unitholders residing outside France may be subject to withholding tax in France. Benchmark index The Fund’s benchmark index is the euro-denominated EURO STOXX 50 Index with net dividends reinvested (Total Net Return). The EURO STOXX 50 Index is an "equity" index calculated and published by the international index provider STOXX Ltd. ("STOXX "). The EURO STOXX 50 index is a sub-set of the EURO STOXX® index. It includes the 50 leading securities of twelve Eurozone countries. The equities that make up this index cover all economic sectors and are chosen for their level of market capitalisation, their liquidity and their sector weighting. Management fees & commissions Subscription and redemption fees for any unit category: 0.15% including tax. Subscription fee not retained by the Fund For any unit category : None. In compliance with current regulations, this mutual fund has, during the financial period just ended, levied charges at rates which are in line with those stated in the Prospectus and used under the following headings: - Notes to the Annual Accounts /- Management fees. - Shareholders’ Funds /-Subscription and/or redemption fees /- Management fees. Investment objective The Fund’s investment objective is to track the performance of the EURO STOXX 50® Index (see “Benchmark index” section), as closely as possible, whether the Index rises or falls. The Fund is managed so as to achieve a gap between changes in its NAV and changes in the value of the EURO STOXX 50 Index (referred to below as the “EURO STOXX 50 Index”) as small as possible. The target for maximum tracking error between the Fund’s net asset value and the value of the EURO STOXX 50 Index is 2%. If the “tracking error” exceeds 2%, the objective would nevertheless be to remain below 15% of the volatility of the EURO STOXX 50 Index. Investment strategy The Fund is managed by “index tracking”.

UCITS AMUNDI ETF EURO STOXX 50 UCITS ETF

1. Strategy employed: The Fund is managed by a technique known as “index-tracking” which aims to replicate changes in the EURO STOXX 50 Index using a swap-based replication method. To maintain the closest possible correlation with the performance of the EURO STOXX 50 Index, the Fund will use a diversified portfolio of equities (the “Portfolio”) and an over-the-counter (OTC) total return swap, a financial derivative instrument which turns exposure to the Portfolio into exposure to the EURO STOXX 50 Index. The Fund shall observe the investment rules stipulated in Articles R214-21, R214-22 and R214-23 the French Monetary and Financial Code. The Portfolio comprising directly held assets described in the "Assets used" section, complies with the provisions of Article R 214-21 of the French Monetary and Financial Code (CMF). The Fund's exposure to the Index achieved through the total return swap may be eligible for exemption ratios applicable to the index-tracking UCITS referred to in Article R214-22 of the French Monetary and Financial Code (CMF). That Article stipulates that an index may comprise up to 20% equities or debt securities issued by the same entity; this limit may be raised to 35% maximum for a single issuing entity, when such increase is justified by special market circumstances such as the regulated markets where some marketable securities or some money-market instruments are largely dominant. 2. Assets used (except embedded derivatives): The Fund's exposure to the Index is achieved through the total return swap. The Portfolio consists of the Fund's directly held assets described below. - Equities: At least 60% of the Fund will be permanently exposed to a foreign equity market or equity markets in a number of countries, including the French market when appropriate. Up to 100% of the Fund’s net assets will be invested, subject to the legal and regulatory ratios, in international equities (any economic sector, traded on any market). The equities in the Fund’s assets will be the equities that comprise the EURO STOXX 50 Index, and other international equities, from all economic sectors, including small-cap markets. Equities in the Fund's assets will be chosen to limit costs associated with reproducing the EURO STOXX 50 Index. Over 75% of the portfolio’s value will, at all times, consist of stocks of companies registered in a Member State of the European Union, or in another State which is part of the European Economic Area (EEA) and has signed a tax convention with France that provides for administrative assistance to prevent fraud and tax evasion. This minimum level of equity exposure makes the Fund eligible for a Plan d’Epargne en Actions (French Stock Savings Plan – PEA). - Interest-rate instruments: Up to 25% of the Fund’s net assets may be invested in any kind of bond instruments. Portfolio securities will be selected according to the best judgement of the management and in compliance with the Management Company’s internal credit risk monitoring policy. For the purpose of stock-picking, management does not - neither exclusively nor automatically – rely on the ratings issued by rating agencies, but bases its buy and sell opinion about a security on its own credit and market analyses. For information, management may specifically deal in securities with minimum ratings, at the time of purchase, of BBB- in the S&P and Moody’s scale ("investment grade" rating). The bond issuers selected may be from the private sector or from the public sector (national or local governments, etc.), and private sector debt may account for up to 100% of all debt instruments. Foreign debt instruments will be denominated in the currency of one of the OECD member countries. In order to meet its investment objective and/or manage intermediate financial flows, the Fund may hold up to 10% of its assets in the following:

- Debt instruments and money market instruments in euros: Cash flow will be managed through money market instruments. Portfolio securities will be selected according to the best judgement of the management and in compliance with the Management Company’s internal credit risk monitoring policy.

For information, management may specifically deal in securities with minimum ratings of AA in the S&P and Moody’s scale. The bond issuers selected may be from the private sector or from the public sector (national or local governments, etc.), and private sector debt may account for up to 100% of all debt instruments.

They may be UCITS managed by the Management Company, or by other entities, which may or may not belong to the Crédit Agricole SA Group, including related companies. 3. Derivatives: The Fund will use derivative financial instruments, including OTC total return equity swaps that swap the value of equities held by the Fund for the EURO STOXX 50 Index value. Off-balance sheet commitments are calculated by the accrual method of accounting. The Fund may take positions in the following derivatives:  Type of market:  regulated  organised  over-the-counter  Categories of risk in which the Fund intends to take a position:  equity risk  interest rate risk  currency risk  credit risk  other risks  Nature of positions to be taken, which must be limited to those required to meet the management objective:  hedging  exposure  arbitrage  other  Types of instruments used:  futures: on equities and indices  options: on equities and indices  total return swaps: on equities and indices  total return swap:  credit derivatives: credit default swaps  other

 Strategies for use of incorporated derivatives to achieve the management objective:  constructing synthetic exposure to a particular secutity, sector and/or to the EURO STOXX 50 Index via the use of swaps.  management of intermediate cash flows (dividends, subscriptions/redemptions, etc.) to reach the desired degree of exposure to a particular stock and/or sector and/or to the EURO STOXX 50 Index via the use of futures.  management of intermediate cash flows (dividends, subscriptions/redemptions, etc.) to reach the desired degree of exposure to a particular stock and/or sector and/or to the EURO STOXX 50 Index via the use of options. These instruments may be used to hedge up to 100% of the Fund’s net assets. 4. Securities incorporating derivatives (“embedded derivatives”): None. 5. Deposits and liquid assets: The Fund may hold up to 20% of its net assets in deposits for a maximum term of twelve months. The deposits are used for cash management purposes and help the Fund achieve its management objectives. 6. Borrowing: The Fund may temporarily, and in exceptional cases, borrow up to 10% of its net assets in order to optimise its cash flow management. 7. Temporary acquisitions and sales of securities: None. Over-exposure of the assets: None Total exposure to risks arising from these commitments and from open positions in real securities shall not exceed 110% of net assets. Information relating to financial guarantees (temporary purchases and sales of securities) and total return swaps (TRS) None. Overview of the procedure for choosing intermediaries / counterparties and comments The Management Company generally issues a bid tender. In this case, a comprehensive Request For Proposal (“RFP”) (total return swap and market making) was issued for a portion of the AMUNDI ETF Fund product line. For this reason, neither the Management Company nor the Delegated Fund Manager have undertaken or shall undertake, for this particular Fund, a formal competitive bidding procedure that can be tracked and monitored among counterparties for OTC derivative financial instruments, as the counterparty has already been selected during the comprehensive RFP. The Fund may carry out these transactions with BNP Paribas SA or any other Company of the BNP Paribas SA group as counterparties or intermediaries.
