Lyxor International Asset Management has decided to update the Prospectus of the Multi-Units France SICAV and the Key Investor Information Document of the “LYXOR ETF EUROMTS 3-5Y” Subfund (the “Subfund”) to reflect the change in methodology of its “EuroMTS 3-5Y™” benchmark index (the “Benchmark Index”), operated by the company EuroMTS®, which is this index sponsor.
This change involves the eligibility criteria for the underlying securities in the Benchmark Index. Its sole purpose is to henceforth select only those bonds that are rated Investment Grade by at least two of the three main ratings agencies.

Before: EuroMTS 3-5Y
After: EuroMTS Investment Grade Eurozone Government Bond 3-5Y
Bloomberg ticker:
Before: EXEB5
After: EMIEB5
Methodology:
Before: The EuroMTS 3-5Y™ index is the sub-index, consisting of securities having a maturity between 3 and 5 years, of the EuroMTS Global™ index, formerly known under the name CNO ETRIX Global, which is a “Total Return” type index (i.e. all coupons detached by the index constituents are reinvested in the index), weighted by country, consisting of securities issued by the governments of member states in the Euro zone. The EuroMTS 3-5Y™ index is calculated in real-time by EuroMTS.
The eligible universe of EuroMTS indices consists of securities:
(i) denominated in Euros and issued by the government of a member state of the European Monetary Union;
(ii) detaching coupons and having a maturity greater than or equal to 1 year;
(iii) with at least EUR2 billion issued;
(iv) listed on the MTS markets.
The methodology of the EuroMTS indices is supervised by an independent consulting committee consisting of bond and issuer specialists.
The composition of these indices is reviewed each month.
These characteristics are such that the EuroMTS indices are a highly liquid and representative measure of the performance of sovereign bond securities..
The monitored performance is based on the 5.30pm (Paris time) fixing of the index as determined by EuroMTS.
