Updated 21 January 2022

As part of the implementation of the J.P. Morgan legal entity strategy within Europe, J.P. Morgan Bank Luxembourg S.A. the depositary and the administrator, registrar, transfer, domiciliary and paying agent of Artemis Funds (Lux), will merge into J.P. Morgan AG which at the same time will change its legal form from a German Stock Corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) to a European Company (Societas Europaea), being J.P. Morgan SE (the “Merger”).

The date when the Merger takes legal effect will be the date on which the local court of Frankfurt registers the Merger in the commercial register (the “Merger Date”), which is expected to be on or around 22 January 2022.

As from the Merger Date, J.P. Morgan SE will, as legal successor of J.P. Morgan Bank Luxembourg S.A. continue to act as depositary and administrator, registrar, transfer, domiciliary and paying agent of Artemis Funds (Lux) through its Luxembourg Branch.

As legal successor of J.P. Morgan Bank Luxembourg S.A., J.P. Morgan SE, Luxembourg Branch will assume all rights and obligations that J.P. Morgan Bank Luxembourg currently has under the existing agreements with Artemis Funds (Lux).

Effective as from the Merger Date, J.P. Morgan SE will be a European Company (Societas Europaea) organized under the laws of Germany, with registered office at Taunustor 1 (TaunusTurm), 60310 Frankfurt am Main, Germany and registered with the commercial register of the local court of Frankfurt.

It will be a credit institution subject to direct prudential supervision by the European Central Bank (ECB), the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht, BaFin) and Deutsche Bundesbank, the German Central Bank.

J.P. Morgan SE, Luxembourg Branch will be authorised by the Luxembourg Financial Sector Supervisory Commission (Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier, “CSSF”) to act as depositary and fund administrator.

J.P. Morgan SE, Luxembourg Branch will be registered in the Luxembourg Trade and Companies’ Register (RCS) under number B255938 and will be subject to the supervision of the aforementioned home State supervisory authorities as well as local supervision by the CSSF.

Both J.P. Morgan Bank Luxembourg S.A. and J.P. Morgan AG (which at the Merger Date will change its legal form to J.P. Morgan SE) are members of the J.P. Morgan group of companies.

The Merger does not change the scope of services provided to Artemis Funds (Lux) by J.P. Morgan Bank Luxembourg S.A..

There will be no change of address or contact details of the depositary and administrator, transfer, registrar, domiciliary and paying agent or the address of the registered office of the Company.

There will be no additional costs as a result of this change.
