45. Amendments to page 173 of the Master Prospectus Information in Relation to the Target Fund The information in relation to the Pricing Adjustment Policy for Eastspring Investments Dragon Peacock Fund and Eastspring Investments Indonesia Equity Fund is hereby added as follows: Pricing Adjustment Policy The actual cost of purchasing or selling assets and investments for the Target Fund may however deviate from the latest available price or net asset value used, as appropriate, in calculating the net asset value per share due to duties and charges and spreads from buying and selling prices of the underlying investments. These costs have an adverse effect on the value of the Target Fund and are known as dilution. To mitigate the effects of dilution, the board of directors may, at its discretion, make a price adjustment to the net asset value per share of the Target Fund. Shares will in principle be issued, redeemed and converted on the basis of a single price, i.e., the net asset value per share. However to mitigate the effect of dilution the net asset value per share may be adjusted for any valuation day in the manner set out below depending on whether or not the Target Fund is in a net subscription position or in a net redemption position for such valuation day to arrive at the applicable adjusted price (the Adjusted Price ). Where there is no dealing in the Target Fund or class of the Target Fund on any valuation day, the applicable price will be the unadjusted net asset value per share. The board of directors will retain the discretion in relation to the circumstances under which to make such a price adjustment. As a general rule, the requirement to make a price adjustment will depend upon the net volume of subscriptions, redemptions or conversions of shares in the Target Fund. The board of directors may make a price adjustment if, in its opinion, the existing shareholders (in case of subscriptions or conversions) or remaining shareholders (in case of redemptions or conversions) might otherwise be adversely affected. In particular, the price adjustment may be made where, for example but without limitation: a. the Target Fund is in continual decline (i.e. is experiencing a net outflow or redemptions); b. the Target Fund is experiencing significant levels of net subscriptions or net redemptions relevant to its size; c. the Target Fund is experiencing a net subscription position or a net redemption position on any valuation day; and d. in any other case where the board of directors is of the opinion that the interest of shareholders require the imposition of a price adjustment. The price adjustment will involve adding to, when the Target Fund is in a net subscription position, and deducting from, when the Target Fund is in a net redemption position, the net asset value per share such figure as the board of directors considers an appropriate figure to meet duties and charge and spreads. In particular, the net asset value of the Target Fund will be adjusted (upwards or downwards) by an amount which reflects (i) the estimated fiscal charges, 22 Supplementary Master Prospectus
