14 September 2023
Dear Shareholder,
Important information: Change in reference index and minor clarification of investment
objective and policy.
As you are an investor in the Portfolio, we are writing to let you know that the Board of Directors ofthe SICAV (the “Board”) has decided to make a change to the reference index for this Portfolio, witheffect from 18 October 2023 (the “Effective Date”).
We are also taking this opportunity to make a minor update to the Portfolio’s investment objective
and policy to provide enhanced clarity on the Portfolio’s minimum exposure to equity securities. Thisupdate will not result in any changes to the way in which the Portfolio is managed and will beapplicable from the Effective Date.
For any capitalised terms that are not specifically defined within this letter, please refer to thedefinition in the “Glossary” section of the Prospectus which is available on our website
www.columbiathreadneedle.com.
What is changing?
The reference index, which provides a suitable target benchmark against which Portfolio
performance is measured and evaluated over time, will be changing on the Effective Date. Thechanges are set out in the table below, which are extracted from the “Investment Objectives andPolicies” section of the Prospectus:

The Global Technology Portfolio
seeks to achieve long term capital
appreciation by investing principally*in the equity securities of companies
with business operations intechnology and technology-relatedindustries globally. Technology-industries. Technology-relatedcompanies are those companies that
use technology extensively toimprove their business processes
and applications.
The Portfolio may invest in
Transferable Securities of issuers ofany size and domiciled in anycountry. The Portfolio will normallyinvest its assets in any equity
securities, including common stock,securities convertible or
exchangeable into common stock,rights and warrants to purchasecommon stock and depositary

The Portfolio may invest in
Transferable Securities of issuers ofany size and domiciled in anycountry. The Portfolio will normallyinvest its assets in common stock,
however it may invest in other typesof equity securities, including
securities convertible or
exchangeable into common stock,rights and warrants to purchasecommon stock and depositary
receipts representing an ownershipinterest in these equity securities.
The Portfolio may invest up to 25% of
its assets in preferred stock andInvestment Grade debt securities.

*As per the “Glossary” section of the Prospectus, each time that the word “principally” is used in thedescription of the investment objective of a Portfolio, this means at least two thirds of the assets ofthe Portfolio are directly invested in the currency, the country, the type of security or the othermaterial element in relation to which the term “principally” is used.
Why are we making these changes?
The new index incorporates a limit on the weightings of individual constituents. It achieves this byadhering to the ‘10/40’ concentration rule applicable to UCITS funds such as the Portfolio. This rule
requires investments in a single security to be no more than 10% in respect of 40% of the Portfolio’s
assets, and 5% in a single security thereafter. The change is necessary as the current index contains
securities which exceed 10% and is therefore not representative of the investment requirements
applicable to the Portfolio as a UCITS fund.
The Portfolio will continue to be actively managed in reference to the new index, which is broadly
representative of the company universe in which the Portfolio invests. The Sub-Advisor has
discretion to select investments with weightings different to the index, and that are not in the index,
and the Portfolio may display significant divergence from the index. The index change does nothave any impact on current holdings in the Portfolio.
The minor update to the Portfolio’s investment objective and policy is to provide enhanced clarity
on the Portfolio’s minimum exposure to equity securities and does not have any impact on the way
in which the Portfolio is currently managed.
What do I need to do?
You do not need to do anything as a result of these changes, which do not result in a change to theway in which the Portfolio is managed or its current holdings. The changes will take effectautomatically on the Effective Date.
What can I do if I disagree with the changes?
Shareholders may redeem their shares in the Portfolio, or exchange their shares into shares of analternative Portfolio of the Threadneedle (Lux) SICAV, free of any charges, by submitting a written
request to the Registrar and Transfer Agent: International Financial Data Services (Luxembourg)
S.A. until 15.00 Luxembourg time on 17 October 2023. Such redemption or exchange requests will
be processed in the normal manner in accordance with the “Redemption of Shares” section of theProspectus. Contact details for International Financial Data Services are available on the “Contact”
section of our website www.columbiathreadneedle.com.
