Further Announcements The Manager will issue an announcement by 16 May 2016 to confirm the amount of further distribution in respect of the Horizons S&P Asia ex JANZ Energy ETF and Horizons S&P Asia ex JANZ IT ETF, and such further distribution will be payable on or around 17 May 2016. The Manager will issue another announcement by 19 May 2016 to confirm the amount of further distribution in respect of the Horizons S&P Asia ex JANZ Financials ETF and Horizons S&P Asia ex JANZ Industrials ETF, and such further distribution will be payable on or around 20 May 2016. 5. Treatment of Suspended Stock (Horizons S&P Asia ex JANZ Financials ETF only) As at the Distribution Record Date, the Horizons S&P Asia ex JANZ Financials ETF held 1,400 shares in Shanghai Lujiazui Finance & Trade Zone Development Co Ltd (Shanghai Stock Exchange stock code:

900932 CH) for which trading on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (which they are listed) was suspended ( Suspended Stock ). The Suspended Stock has been suspended since 21 January 2016 and has not resumed trading as of the date of this Announcement. The fair value of the Suspended Stock as at 9 May 2016, represented a total of approximately 0.78% of the Net Asset Value of the Horizons S&P Asia ex JANZ Financials ETF. The fair value of the Suspended Stock as at 9 May 2016 has been reviewed by the Manager, in consultation with the Trustee. The Manager has continued to monitor the Suspended Stock, and in particular, its resumption of trading and any relevant news relating to the Suspended Stock with a view to liquidating the Suspended Stock. The Manager has received monthly announcements from the Suspended Stock that trading may resume within one month from each date of the relevant announcement since the date of suspension. However, as the Manager is not aware of any relevant news relating to the actual date of resumption of trading, the Manager is of the view that it is not likely that the Suspended Stock will resume trading prior to 16 May 2016. There is no active market on any stock exchange or current market price for the Suspended Stock. As the Manager is of the view that it will be unable to liquidate the Suspended Stock on or before 16 May 2016 (being the latest date on which the Suspended Stock will need to be sold in order not to delay the further distribution), the Manager will take the following steps in relation to the Suspended Stock as contingency: (a) the Manager will try to sell the Suspended Stock on an over-the-counter ( OTC ) market via securities brokers at prices quoted by the brokers as the market price of such stocks on the relevant OTC market; and (b) by 16 May 2016, if the Manager is unable to sell the Suspended Stock by the method under (a), the Manager will proceed to purchase the Suspended Stock from Horizons S&P Asia ex JANZ Financials ETF by paying the equivalent amount of the then fair value (i.e. at the time of purchase) of such Suspended Stock to Horizons S&P Asia ex JANZ Financials ETF ( Mirae Payment ) in order that Relevant Investors may receive the further distribution without further delay. Such fair value will be reviewed by the Manager, in consultation with the Trustee, and the Mirae Payment will form part of the further distribution. For the avoidance of doubt, the gains/losses resulting from the liquidation of the Suspended Stock after the Mirae Payment will not be borne by Horizons S&P Asia ex JANZ Financials ETF. As mentioned in Section 7.3 of the First Announcement, Mirae Asset Wealth Management (HK) Limited, which is a Connected Person of the Manager, currently acts as one of the Participating Dealers of the Terminating Investment Funds. Subject to this, no other connected persons of the Manager are involved in any transaction in relation to the Terminating Investment Funds, nor holds any interest in the Terminating Investment Funds. However, the purchase by the Manager of the Suspended Stock and the Mirae Payment amounts to a connected person transaction between the Manager and Horizons S&P Asia ex JANZ Financials ETF. Pursuant to Chapter 10.11 of the Code, the Manager will seek the Trustee s written consent to this transaction to ensure that they are carried out on behalf of Horizons S&P Asia ex JANZ Financials ETF at arm s length. The Manager considers that the contingency arrangement as set out above, which allows Relevant Investors of the Horizons S&P Asia ex JANZ Financials ETF to receive the further distribution without further delay, is in the best interest of the Horizons S&P Asia ex JANZ Financials ETF and the Unitholders as a whole. The Trustee does not have any objection to such contingency arrangement. 6. Final Distribution Payment The Final Distribution for each Terminating Investment Fund will be credited to the CCASS accounts of the relevant financial intermediaries and stockbrokers through whom the Relevant Investors hold the Units on 7 April 2016 (i.e. the Distribution Record Date). It is expected that the Relevant Investors will receive the Final Distribution on or around 11 May 2016, but the exact timing may vary between different stockbrokers and financial intermediaries. Each Relevant Investor should contact their stockbrokers or financial intermediaries in relation to the payment arrangements, including payment procedures and settlement date, of the relevant Final Distribution from them. No Hong Kong profits tax shall generally be payable by investors in respect of the Final Distribution to the extent of distribution of profits and/or capital of the Terminating Investment Funds. For investors carrying on a trade, profession or business in Hong Kong, profits derived from redemption or disposal of Units in the Terminating Investment Funds may be subject to Hong Kong profits tax if the profits in question arise in or are

derived from such trade, profession or business sourced in Hong Kong, and the Units of the Terminating Investment Funds are revenue assets of the investors. Investors should consult their professional tax advisers for tax advice. IMPORTANT NOTES: Stockbrokers and financial intermediaries are urged to forward a copy of this Announcement to their clients holding Units in any of the Terminating Investment Funds, and inform them of the contents of this Announcement as soon as possible. Relevant Investors should contact their stockbrokers and financial intermediaries in relation to the payment arrangements, including payment procedures and settlement date, of the relevant Final Distribution from them. Investors are strongly advised to read and consider the First Announcement together with the Prospectus, for further details in relation to the Terminating Investment Funds, the termination, deauthorisation and delisting and the applicable risk factors and their implications to investors. 7.
