Bertrange, 07/08/2023
Dear Shareholder
We are writing to inform you of changes that the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) proposes
to make to the Company and its sub-funds (the “Portfolios”).
Renaming the Company
Columbia Threadneedle Investments has acquired BMO’s asset management business in EMEA (Europe,
Middle East and Africa), resulting in the renaming of various funds and entities within the combined businessto reflect a unified Columbia Threadneedle Investments brand. Consistent with these changes, the Board
proposes to amend and restate the Company’s articles of incorporation (the “Articles”) to change the nameof the Company from “Threadneedle (Lux)” to “Columbia Threadneedle (Lux) I” to reflect the Columbia
Threadneedle Investments brand.
Renaming the Portfolios
In addition to renaming the Company, the Board proposes to change the names of the Portfolios, by
replacing the pre-fix “Threadneedle (Lux)” with “CT (Lux)”, with effect from 20 November 2023, as describedin Appendix 1. This will better align the Portfolio names with the Columbia Threadneedle Investments brand.
The renaming of the Portfolios shall not affect in any way the way in which the Portfolios are managed or
their respective investment objectives and policies.
Further changes to the Articles
The Board further proposes to add a new article 9 to allow greater flexibility for the Board to switch aninvestor into a more appropriate share class in the event that an investor does not meet the eligibility
criteria, or no longer satisfies the eligibility criteria for a particular share class.
“In the event that a shareholder ceases to satisfy the eligibility requirements applicable tothe classes of shares as described in the Prospectus (for example, if a shareholder holding
shares reserved to institutional investors ceases to qualify as such or if a shareholder’sholding ceases to comply with the applicable minimum shareholding), the Corporation may,in its sole discretion and to the extent permitted by the Prospectus, switch such shares into
the most appropriate share class of the same Portfolio. In this case, shareholders will receive
prior written notification, at least 30 calendar days in advance. By subscribing in a shareclass with eligibility requirements, shareholders irrevocably instruct the Corporation at its
discretion to switch on their behalf should they cease to be eligible to invest in such shareclass. All costs (including potential tax liability which might be applicable because of thecountry of citizenship, residence or domicile of the relevant shareholder) associated withsuch switch will be borne by the relevant shareholder.
For such purposes, the shareholder shall be granted a grace period for remedying thesituation causing the compulsory redemption as described in the Prospectus, and/or it shallThreadneedle Management Luxembourg S.A. Registered in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg / R.C.S. Luxembourg B 110.242. Authorised and regulated by the Commission de
Surveillance du Secteur Financier. Registered address 44, Rue de la Vallée, L-2661 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Trading as Columbia Threadneedle Investments.
Columbia Threadneedle Investments is the global brand name of the Columbia and Threadneedle group of companies.

be proposed to convert the shares held by any shareholder who fails to satisfy the eligibility
requirements for such class of shares into shares of another class available for suchshareholder to the extent that the eligibility requirements would then be satisfied.”
In light of AML/CFT requirements, the Board further proposes to delete the second last paragraph of article
6 of the Articles as all investors need to be properly identified (this includes knowing investors’ actual
addresses). Consequently, the Board proposes that Article 6 of the Articles should be amended and read as
follows:“Article 6. Form of Shares[…]
The Corporation 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 andannouncements from the Corporation to shareholders may be sent to such address which will also beentered in the Register.
In the event that a shareholder does not provide such an address, the Corporation may permit a noticeto this effect to be entered in the Register and his or her address will be deemed to be at the registeredoffice of the Corporation or such other address as may be so entered by the Corporation from time totime, until another address shall be provided to the Corporation.
The shareholder may, at any time, change his or her address as entered in the Register by means of awritten notification to the Corporation at its registered office, or at such other address as may be set
by the Corporation from time to time.”
In light of the adoption of the Bill of Law N°8183 which introduces, among others, regulatory changes to the
Law of 17 December 2010 relating to undertakings for collective investments (the “2010 Law”), the Board
further proposes to add a new paragraph 4 to current article 23 of the Articles with respect to suspension ofissuance, exchange and redemption of shares, as well as a new paragraph 3 to current article 26 of the Articles
with respect to termination of the depositary. The referred articles should be amended to read as follows:“Article 23. Form of Shares[…]
In addition, the issue, exchange and redemption of Shares within a Portfolio shall be forbidden:-

for the whole period during which the Corporation does not have a depositary;-

in cases where the Corporation declares bankruptcy, applies for a scheme of composition withcreditors (bénéfice de concordat), suspension of payments (sursis de paiement) or controlled
management (gestion contrôlée), or upon occurrence of any such event affecting the Depositary.

[…]”

“Article 26. Depositary[…]
In cases where the appointment of the Depositary has been terminated but a new depositary has notbeen appointed at the expiry of the notice period for termination set out in the agreement with the
Depositary, the Depositary shall take all the measures necessary for the proper preservation of theinterests of the shareholders and shall keep open or, if required, shall open all accounts necessary forthe safekeeping of the Corporation’s assets until the completion of the liquidation process of the
Corporation and its withdrawal from the list provided for in Article 130(1) of the 2010 Law.”
Action to be taken
The Board invites you to an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company to be held on 31
August 2023, so that you can vote on the changes to the Articles described above. The convening notice tothis meeting is attached to this letter.
A draft of the restated Articles showing the relevant changes is available to shareholders free of charge at
the Company’s registered office.
The Board strongly encourages you to vote at the EGM.
Yours sincerely,Threadneedle (Lux) – The Board of Directors
