Leverage Shares plc (the "Issuer") hereby gives notice of certain upcoming modifications to the Investment Strategies of the Relevant Series, as further detailed below.
The Investment Strategies of the Relevant Series are being amended so that they employ the Short and Leveraged Index Tracking Investment Strategies (as defined in the Base Prospectus) instead of the Leveraged Exposure and Short Exposure Investment Strategies (as currently applicable to the Relevant Series), and provide the Leveraged Exposure or Short Exposure, as determined by the applicable Leverage Factor, to the indices/benchmarks tracked by the Current Reference Assets as detailed in the table below (the "Relevant Indices") (the "Investment Strategy Amendment").
Following implementation of the Investment Strategy Amendment, the exposure of the Relevant Series to the Relevant Indices may be achieved through the permitted Reference Assets specified in the Short and Leveraged Index Tracking Investment Strategies, including components of the Relevant Indices, futures contracts and options contracts (where applicable).

In addition to the above adjustments, which will apply to all the Relevant Series, the Issuer hereby gives notice of the increase in the Leverage Factor in respect of the Germany Series from 3x to 5x and from -3x to -5x, as applicable (the "Leverage Factor Increase").
As a consequence of the Leverage Factor Increase and the implementation of the Investment Strategy Amendment, the Issuer hereby gives notice of the amendment to the Unscheduled Rebalance Trigger applicable to the Germany Series from 16.67% to 10% and from -16.67% to -10%, as applicable (the "Unscheduled Rebalance Trigger Amendment").
The Leverage Factor Increase and the Unscheduled Rebalance Trigger Amendment together constitute the "Germany Series Amendments".
The Investment Strategy Amendment will allow the Relevant Series to meet the listing requirements of Euronext Milan. Currently, providing sole exposure to the Reference Assets of the Relevant Series does not meet the eligibility requirements for listing on Euronext Milan. As such, following the implementation of the Investment Strategy Amendment, Investment Strategy Naming Modifications and German Series Amendments (collectively referred to herein as the "Modifications"), it is intended to list the Relevant Series on Euronext Milan.
The Modifications shall be effective as at 16 July 2026.
Capitalised terms used, but not defined, in this notice shall have the meaning given thereto in the Issuer's Base Prospectus as approved by the FCA on 9 June 2026 and by the Central Bank on 11 June 2026.
