NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS

RE:         Index Methodology Change

Invesco FTSE Emerging Markets High Dividend Low Volatility UCITS ETF, (the "Fund")

Share Class: Dist

ISIN: IE00BYYXBF44

Dear Shareholder,

We are writing to you as a Shareholder in the Fund, a sub-fund of Invesco Markets III plc (the "Company"), to inform you of the following changes to the methodology of Index tracked by the Fund, FTSE Emerging Markets High Dividend Low Volatility Index ("the Index").

Proposed Changes

The Index provider is proposing to revise the Index methodology to improve the liquidity of the Index. The periodic review of constituents will, from the effective date, include an assessment of the liquidity of each constituent by calculating its recent 3-month Average Daily Trading Value ("ADTV"). Securities with an ADTV less than $5 million ($3.75 million for current index constituents) will not be eligible for inclusion in the Index.

The Weighting Methodology will include a partial review adjustment factor, calculated by referencing the 150 selections of each current and previous index review. Further details of this change can be found on the Index's provider website: Index Announcements - Index Announcements (ftserussell.com)

The impact on these changes on the Fund is not expected to be material when compared to previous annual Index reviews.

Effective Date

The changes will take effect on the 18^th of March 2024, at the next rebalance date of the Index. The Fund's offering documents will be amended in due course to reflect the Changes.  

Should you wish to redeem your shareholding as a result of the Changes, you may do so in accordance with the dealing provisions outlined in the Prospectus.
