SPDRR S&PR INTERNATIONAL MID CAP ETF (MDD) Exchange: NYSE ARCA

DELISTED - In seeking to track the performance of the S&P Developed Ex-U.S. between USD2 Billion and USD5 Billion 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 a float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to represent the mid-capitalization segment of developed countries included in the S&P Global BMI (Broad Market Index) (“Global Equity Index”). The Global Equity Index is a comprehensive, float-weighted, rules-based benchmark that is readily divisible and customizable. The Index is reconstituted annually. A country will be eligible for inclusion in the Global Equity Index if it is classified as either a developed or emerging market by the S&P Global Equity Index Committee. Country classification is reviewed annually and determined based on quantitative criteria and feedback from market participants via a publicly available market consultation. All publicly listed companies with float-adjusted market capitalization of a minimum of $100 million and at least $50 million annual trading volume are included for each country. Once included, all current Global Equity Index constituents with float-adjusted market capitalization of a minimum of $75 million and at least $35 million annual trading volume will remain in the Global Equity Index for each country. All stocks are weighted proportionate to their float-adjusted market capitalization and the Index is rebalanced annually. To be included in the Index, a publicly listed company must have a total market capitalization between $2 billion and $5 billion, and be located in a country that meets the BMI Developed World Series criteria. The Index is “float-adjusted”, meaning that only those shares publicly available to investors are included in the Index calculation. Countries covered in the Index have historically included, among others, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. As of November 30, 2015, a significant portion of the Index comprised companies in the industrial, financial and consumer discretionary sectors, although this may change from time to time.  As of November 30, 2015, a significant portion of the Fund comprised companies located in Europe and Japan, although this may change from time to time. As of December 31, 2015, the Index comprised 779 securities.The Index is sponsored by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (the “Index Provider”), which is not affiliated with the Fund or the Adviser.
