1. A notional account will be maintained for each class of Share. Each account will be referred to as an<br />
Entitlement Account.<br />
2. There will be credited to this Entitlement Account:<br />
• the capital amount of the price paid for the Shares of that Class (i.e., excluding any initial<br />
charges or dilution levy);<br />
• that Class’ proportion of the capital appreciation attributable to the Fund;<br />
• that Class’ proportion of the Fund’s in<strong>com</strong>e received and receivable;<br />
• in the case of accumulation or rollup Shares, in<strong>com</strong>e previously allocated and so accumulated<br />
to Shares in respect of previous accounting periods.<br />
3. There will be debited to the Entitlement Account:<br />
• any redemption payment made for the cancellation of Shares of the relevant Class;<br />
• that Class’ proportion of any capital depreciation attributable to the Fund;<br />
• all distributions of in<strong>com</strong>e (including equalisation) made to shareholders of that Class;<br />
• all costs, charges and expenses incurred solely in respect of that Class;<br />
• that Class’ share of the costs, charges and expenses incurred in respect of that Class and one or<br />
more other Classes in the Fund, but not in respect of the Fund as a whole;<br />
• that Class’ proportion of the costs, charges and expenses incurred in respect of or attributable<br />
to the Fund as a whole.<br />
4. In each case, the Administrator will make such adjustments for taxation matters as the Administrator<br />
considers appropriate after consultation with the Auditors such that no particular Class of Share suffers<br />
material prejudice as opposed to another Class of Share.<br />
5. Where a Class of Share is denominated in a currency which is not the base currency of the relevant Fund,<br />
the balance on the Entitlement Account shall be converted into the base currency of the Fund in order to<br />
ascertain the proportion of all Classes of Share. Conversions between currencies shall be at a rate of<br />
exchange decided by the administrator as being a rate that is not likely to result in any material prejudice to<br />
the interests of investors or potential investors.<br />

PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS<br />
Dividends for Reinvestment<br />
Dividends in respect of the A-1, B-1, D-1, I-1 and Z-1 Classes of Shares and the hedged versions of Class A-1,<br />
I-1 and Z-1 Shares will automatically be reinvested in additional Shares of the same Class (except for Class B<br />
Shares) in the relevant Fund unless the shareholder has specifically elected on the Application Form or<br />
otherwise subsequently in writing to receive such dividends in cash. The new Shares are issued at the Share<br />
Price on the relevant dividend payment date and are free of any sales charge. Dividends declared in respect of<br />
Class B Shares will be received in cash. Reinvested dividends are likely to be treated as in<strong>com</strong>e received by the<br />
shareholder for tax purposes in most jurisdictions.<br />
Dividends for Payment by Cheque or Bank Transfer<br />
Dividends are declared in the currency in which the Fund giving rise to the dividend is denominated. They can,<br />
upon request, be paid, at the expense and risk of the shareholder, in the preferred currency of the shareholder<br />
(usually the currency of original investment), either by cheque, or, by bank transfer. Shareholders should bear<br />
in mind that bank clearing or collection charges may seriously erode the value of small dividend amounts. The<br />
payment of dividends in cash may not be available to shareholders who are investing through nominee<br />
shareholders. Instead, dividends for nominee shareholders will be reinvested accordingly.<br />
Unclaimed Dividends<br />
Any dividend unclaimed after 5 years from the date when it first became payable shall be forfeited automatically<br />
and made use of for the benefit of the relevant fund without the necessity for any declaration or other action by<br />
the Fund.<br />
