CoreShares is regulated by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (formerly the Financial Services
Board). In terms of Section 98(2) of the Collective Investment Schemes Control Act of 2002 and clause
67 of the Main Deed of the Scheme, investor consent is required to effect the proposed amendment,
which allow for the following:

                                                 
•      Investors holding no less than 25% in value of the total number of participatory investors in the
       Portfolio, excluding CoreShares, must respond to the ballot voting request, for it to be successful
       (Clause 67.1 of Main Deed).
•      If the majority of those who have responded to the ballot, have voted in favour, then the amendment
       will be successful.
•      Where less than 25% of investors respond, a second ballot must be conducted where only the
       majority result of those who have responded, will determine whether the amendment will be
       successful or not i.e. 25% quorum is not required (Clause 67.3 of Main Deed).

Less than 25% of the total number of participatory investors in the portfolio responded to the
first ballot request, therefore the ballot voting procedure was not successful and a second ballot
voting procedure will be conducted.

In terms of section 99 of the Act, the ballot will be valid if the majority of investors, excluding the
manager, vote in favour of the amalgamation. Absence of a response will be regarded as a vote in
favour of the amalgamation.


4. Summary of overall results


    Investors in PTXSPY and PTXTEN have provided consent for the amalgamation of the two
    portfolios however, investors holding less than 25% in value of the total number of participatory
    investors in PTXTEN responded to the ballot to amend the investment policy of PTXTEN which
    then requires a second ballot to be conducted where only the majority result of those who have
    responded, will determine whether the amendment will be successful or not i.e. 25% quorum is not
    required (Clause 67.3 of Main Deed) as stated in Paragraph 1 above.


    Please note that although the ballot for the amalgamation of the PTXSPY and PTXTEN succeeded,
    the amalgamation will only will only be effective in the event that the second ballot to amend the
    investment policy of PTXTEN is successful and regulatory approval obtained from the FSCA.


    The salient dates and information relating to the second ballot voting procedure to amend the
    investment policy of PTXTEN will be announced on SENS in due course.
