22 Second Addendum to the Offering Document for Principal MPF Smart Plan (the Offering Document ) This Second Addendum should be read in conjunction with and forms part of the Offering Document for the Principal MPF Smart Plan (the Offering Document ) and the First Addendum dated 12 December By this Second Addendum, the Offering Document shall be amended as follows with effect from 1 April 2017 (being the commencement date of the MPF default investment strategy): 1. The section headed TABLE OF CONTENTS shall be amended by inserting the following immediately after the line 6.5. Mandates to Invest : 6.5A MPF Default Investment Strategy. 2. The subsection headed 6.5 Mandates to Invest on page 24 of the Offering Document shall be amended by: (a) replacing the first paragraph under it in its entirety with the following: On becoming a member of the Plan, a member must give a written investment mandate to the Trustee by completing the investment mandate section on an application for membership setting out how amounts paid by or on behalf of the member to the Plan are to be invested in the constituent funds and returning it to the Trustee. In the absence of a member s valid investment mandate, the Trustee will invest such amounts (net of charges) in DIS. Where a member has multiple capacities under the Plan, the investment arrangement applies to the account of the member in each capacity individually. In other words, if a member is an employee member and a personal account member and wishes to switch his accrued benefits and contributions under the account related to his/her employee member status into DIS, such switching will only impact the account related to his/her employee member status and not the account related to his/her personal account member status. Any change of investment mandate only applies to future contributions and will therefore not affect the existing investments of the accrued benefits. For the avoidance of doubt, any change of mandate instruction given after enrolment and not meeting the requirements for a Specific Investment Instruction will be rejected, and in that case, the existing investment allocation (in respect of future contributions and accrued benefits transferred from another MPF scheme) will remain unchanged. (b) inserting the following paragraph immediately after the second paragraph: In respect of an account of a member for which no investment instruction was given but for whatever reasons some but not all of the accrued benefits in that account are invested in the default fund (designated by the Trustee with the agreement of the Sponsor from time to time currently the Principal MPF Conservative Fund and prior to 10 January 2011, the Principal Cash Fund) immediately before 1 April 2017, unless the Trustee has received any specific investment instructions, the member s accrued benefits (including future contributions and accrued benefits transferred from another MPF scheme) in that account will be invested in the same manner as accrued benefits in that account were invested immediately before 1 April Principal Mandatory Provident Fund offering document page 1

23 3. The subsection headed 6.6 Switching Instructions on page 24 of the Offering Document shall be amended by the replacement of the first paragraph under it in its entirety with the following: A member has the right to give a switching instruction (the minimum investment allocation in any constituent fund selected must be an integer percentage and 100% of the switch-out total must be invested in one or more constituent fund(s)) to switch all or part of his/her units in a constituent fund into units in another constituent fund by giving a duly completed change in investment form to the Trustee. Provided that the switching instruction is valid, the switching instruction will take effect as soon as practicable, and in any case, within one calendar month (subject to any suspension in the determination of the net asset value of any relevant constituent fund) after receipt of the change in investment form by the Trustee. Any invalid switching instruction (e.g. the switch-in total is less than or exceeds 100% of the switch-out total) will be rejected and will not be processed. For the avoidance of doubt, where a member switches all or part of his/her existing investments, such switching instruction only applies to existing investments and not the new contributions. Any switching instruction given after enrolment and not meeting the requirements for a Specific Investment Instruction will be rejected, and in that case, existing investment (in respect of the existing accrued benefits) will remain unchanged. 4. The subsection headed 8.1 Transfers to Other Schemes on page 27 of the Offering Document shall be amended by inserting the following paragraph at the end of the subsection: Any money paid to the Plan after the relevant member s accrued benefits have been transferred to another MPF scheme under this section 8.1 (e.g. outstanding contributions and contribution surcharge) will be transferred to the transferee MPF scheme as soon as practicable and will not be invested. 5. The subsection headed EXPLANATORY NOTES on page 36 of the Offering Document shall be amended by replacing the third paragraph under explanatory note (e) in its entirety with the following: Following is a breakdown of the management fees in respect of each constituent fund (other than the Principal Core Accumulation Fund and Principal Age 65 Plus Fund) on the constituent fund level and the underlying APIF or Approved Index-Tracking Fund level. Except as amended by this Second Addendum, the Offering Document remains in full force and effect.
