XACT Fonder AB and Handelsbanken Fonder AB are both part of the Handelsbanken Group. The Board of Directors of Handelsbanken Fonder AB has decided to assume the management of above mentioned funds. The transfer will be executed as soon as the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (Finansinspektionen) has given XACT Fonder AB permission to do so, however not before 1 January 2012.

The management of the funds will be the same and the fund regulations will remain unchanged except that the management company will change. Since the daily running of the funds is already outsourced to Handelsbanken Fonder AB, the transfer will not imply any changes in practice. The funds will keep their names.

To receive a dividend you must own fund units when the market closes on the 8^th June 2011. The last day to buy fund units and still receive a dividend is hence the 8^th June. You can then sell your fund units the following day and still receive dividend.

If you don't wish to receive a dividend you must sell your fund units by the 8^th June 2011. You can then buy fund units again the following day (9^th June) without receiving a dividend.

Why do the funds pay dividends?
As most other Swedish funds, the funds pay a dividend to avoid double taxation.

What happens on the ex day?
All else being equal, the price of a fund unit will decrease with the exact same amount as the dividend per fund unit.

Why is not a dividend forecast provided?
The size of the dividend is based on the funds taxable result. The total dividend amount is divided with the number of outstanding units. Since the number of outstanding units can change daily, a forecast cannot be provided.
