SPDRR RUSSELLNOMURA PRIMETM JAPAN ETF (JPP) Exchange: NYSE ARCA

DELISTED - In seeking to track the performance of the Russell/Nomura PRIMETM Index (the “Index”), the Fund employs a sampling strategy, which means that the Fund is not required to purchase all of the securities represented in the Index. Instead, the Fund may purchase a subset of the securities in the Index in an effort to hold a portfolio of securities with generally the same risk and return characteristics of the Index. The quantity of holdings in the Fund will be based on a number of factors, including asset size of the Fund. Based on its analysis of these factors, SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM” or the “Adviser”), the investment adviser to the Fund, may invest the Fund's assets in a subset of securities in the Index or may invest the Fund's assets in substantially all of the securities represented in the Index in approximately the same proportions as the Index.Under normal market conditions, the Fund generally invests substantially all, but at least 80%, of its total assets in the securities comprising the Index or in American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) or Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) based on securities comprising the Index. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days' notice prior to any material change in this 80% investment policy. In addition, the Fund may invest in equity securities that are not included in the Index (including common stock, preferred stock, depositary receipts and shares of other investment companies), cash and cash equivalents or money market instruments, such as repurchase agreements and money market funds (including money market funds advised by the Adviser).The Index is designed to represent the 1,000 largest stocks in terms of float-adjusted market capitalization included in the Russell/Nomura Total MarketTM Index. The Index includes stocks from a broad universe of Japanese equities. The Index employs a “banding” method at reconstitution in order to control the frequent replacement caused by small fluctuations of market capitalization.A “negative list” method is also used to help prevent the inclusion of stocks of especially low liquidity. The Index is calculated with dividends reinvested, and is denominated in Japanese yen and U.S. dollars. The Index is calculated by utilizing the exchange share prices that are considered most accurate, based on percentage of days traded and total trading volume during the last 60 days. The Index is reconstituted annually and maintained daily for corporate action changes. As of November 30, 2015, a significant portion of the Index comprised companies in the industrial, consumer discretionary and financial sectors, although this may change from time to time. As of December 31, 2015, the Index comprised 1,000 securities.The Index is sponsored by Frank Russell Company (the “Index Provider”), which is not affiliated with the Fund or the Adviser. The Index Provider determines the composition of the Index, relative weightings of the securities in the Index and publishes information regarding the market value of the Index.
