and other assets and liabilities expressed in currencies other than the reference currency have been converted at the exchange rates ruling<br />
at June 30, <strong>2010</strong>. The costs of investments and transactions in currencies other than the reference currency have been converted at the<br />
exchange rates ruling at the transaction date. Profits and losses arising from foreign exchange transactions are disclosed as Net realised<br />
gain/ (loss) on foreign exchange in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.<br />

d. Income recognition policy<br />
Realised gains and losses on sales of securities are determined on the basis of the average cost. Dividends are recognised as income on<br />
the date securities are first quoted ex-dividend. Interest is accrued on a daily basis. Income is shown net of withholding taxes.<br />
e. NAV calculation policy<br />
The Company’s total net assets are expressed in EUR and correspond to the difference between the total assets and the total liabilities of<br />
the Company. In order to calculate this value, the net assets of each Sub-Fund are, unless they are already expressed in EUR, converted<br />
into EUR and added together.<br />
The difference between the opening net assets stated at the rate of exchange used for translation into EUR as of June 30, <strong>2010</strong> and<br />
December 31, 2009 is shown as currency translation in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets.<br />
f. Distribution policy<br />
Accumulating Classes of Shares:<br />
All income will be automatically reinvested in Classes “EUR I”, “DKK I”, “USD I”, “SEK I”, “NOK I”, “EUR R” , “DKK R”, “USD R”, “X”, “EUR E”, “DKK<br />
E”, “CHF R”, “SEK R” and “NOK R”.<br />
Distributing Classes of Shares:<br />

RD”, “DKK RD”, “EUR UKR”, “GBP UKR”, “DKK UKR”, “EUR UKI”, “GBP UKI” and “DKK UKI”. In such case, the <strong>Annual</strong> General Meeting of<br />
Shareholders shall decide, on recommendation of the Board of Directors, on the distribution (if any) of each Sub-Fund's profits.<br />
For Classes “EUR UKR”, “GBP UKR”, “DKK UKR”, “EUR UKI”, “GBP UKI” and “DKK UKI”, the Board of Directors reserves the right to propose<br />
