SPDRR S&PR RUSSIA ETF (RBL) Exchange: NYSE ARCA

DELISTED - In seeking to track the performance of the S&P Russia Capped BMI 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 and in depositary receipts (including American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) or Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”)) based on securities comprising the Index. 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 index designed to define and measure the investable universe of publicly-traded companies domiciled in Russia. The Index component securities are a subset, based on region, of component securities 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. All publicly listed companies with float-adjusted market capitalization of a minimum of $100 million and at least $50 million annual trading 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. The Index uses a “modified market capitalization” weighting scheme, which means that modifications are made to the market capitalization weights, if required, to conform to requirements applicable to regulated investment companies (“RICs”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), and reduce single stock concentration. The Index is rebalanced annually. In addition, a capping rule is implemented quarterly using a 5/20/45 method where no single stock can have an Index weight greater than 20%, and the cumulative sum of all stocks with an Index weight greater than 5% cannot exceed a 45% Index weight. The Index is “float-adjusted,” meaning that only those shares publicly available to investors are included in the index calculation. As of November 30, 2016, a significant portion of the Index comprised companies in the energy and financial sectors, although this may change from time to time. As of November 30, 2016, the Index comprised 64 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. 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.
