Methodology Change | SOLACTIVE GOLD & SILVER MINERS US LISTINGS CARBON TILTED INDEX| Effective Date 30/07/2025

Today, on the 23/07/2025, Solactive announces the following changes to the methodology of the following index (the ‘Affected Indeces”):

Rationale for Methodology Change

Solactive has determined that:

The rebalancing frequency was recently updated to a quarterly schedule, aligned with GBS logic. Additionally, the methodology currently includes a reweighting on the last business day of August. However, this reweighting originates from the previous version of the methodology, when the index was rebalanced only once per year.

Given the shift to quarterly rebalancing, Solactive suggests to remove the August reweighting, as it has become redundant under the new approach

Changes to the Index Guideline

The following Methodology changes will be implemented in the following points of the Index Guideline:

Section 6: Definitions

Old:

“REWEIGHTING DAY” is the last BUSINESS DAY in August.

New:

There is no “REWEIGHTING DAY”

Defined terms used in this announcement, but not defined herein, have the meaning assigned to them in the respective index guideline of the Affected Indices. The amended version of the index guideline will be available on the effective date.
