(the "Company")

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF

Xtrackers II Eurozone Government Bond Short Daily Swap UCITS ETF (ISIN: LU0321463258)

(the "Sub-Fund" )

22 November 2021

The board of directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors") hereby informs the shareholders of the Sub-Fund about certain changes to the Sub-Fund as outlined below.

Capitalised terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the most recent version of the prospectus of the Company (the "Prospectus"), unless the context otherwise requires.

The Euro Over Night Index Average ("EONIA") administrator, European Money Markets Institute, announced that it will stop publishing the EONIA on 3 January 2022. The European Central Bank's working group on euro risk-free rates recommended that the Euro short term rate ("EURSTR") replaces the EONIA as the Euro risk-free rate.

Currently, the Reference Index of the Sub-Fund reflects the daily opposite performance of an underlying index, plus a rate of interest based on the following two components; 1) the EONIA rate; and 2) an assumed repo rate meaning the EONIA rate minus the cost of borrowing the bonds.

As a result of the abovementioned decommissioning of EONIA, the Index Administrator of the Reference Index of the Sub-Fund will replace EONIA with EURSTR plus 8.5 basis points in the methodology of the Reference Index of the Sub-Fund as of 15 December 2021:

 
Sub-Fund                  Index Administrator        Reference Index 
Xtrackers II Eurozone     IHS Markit Benchmark       Short iBoxx EUR 
Government Bond Short     Administration Limited     Sovereigns Eurozone Total 
Daily Swap UCITS ETF                                 Return Index 
 

For the avoidance of doubt, the replacement of EONIA with EURSTR plus 8.5 basis points is not a material change to the Reference Index of the Sub-Fund. The Reference Index of the Sub-Fund will continue to provide the same short exposure to the sovereign bond index and will still feature an overnight refinancing rate.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Sub-Fund's name, investment objective, risk profile and fees will remain unchanged.

General Information
