It is not marketing material. The information is required by law to help you understand the nature and the risks of investing in this fund. You are advised to read it so you can make an informed decision about whether to invest. Terms not defined herein are as defined in the Prospectus. # SPDR S&P U.S. Communication Services Select Sector UCITS ETF (the "Fund") , a sub-fund of SSGA SPDR ETFs Europe II plc (a UCITS compliant Exchange Traded Fund). This Fund is managed by State Street Global Advisors Europe Limited. Share Class: SPDR S&P U.S. Communication Services Select Sector UCITS ETF (Acc) (ISIN IE00BFWFPX50) Objectives and Investment Policy Investment Objective The investment objective of the Fund is to track the performance of large sized U.S. communication services companies in the S&P 500 Index. Investment Policy The Fund seeks to track the performance of the S&P Communication Services Select Sector Daily Capped 35/20 Index (the "Index") as closely as possible. The Fund is an index tracking fund (also known as a passively managed fund). The Fund invests primarily in securities included in the Index. These securities include equity securities issued by large sized U.S. communication services companies, which are included in the S&P 500 Index and have been classified as falling within the Communication Services sector in line with the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS). Although the Index is generally well diversified, to enable the Fund to track the Index accurately, the Fund will make use of the increased diversification limits available under the UCITS Regulations, which permit it to hold positions in individual constituents of the Index issued by the same body of up to 20% and a position of up to 35% of the Fund's net asset value in constituents of the Index issued by the same body due to exceptional market conditions (i.e. the issuer represents an unusually large portion of this market measured by the Index). The Fund seeks to hold all the securities of the Index with the approximate weightings as in that Index. The Fund will use a replication strategy to create a near mirror-image of the Index. In limited circumstances the Fund may purchase securities that are not included in the Index. The Fund may use financial derivative instruments (that is, financial contracts whose prices are dependent on one or more underlying assets) in order to manage the portfolio efficiently. Save in exceptional circumstances, the Fund will generally only issue and redeem shares to certain institutional investors. However, shares of the Fund may be purchased or sold through brokers on one or more stock exchanges. The Fund trades on these stock exchanges at market prices which may fluctuate throughout the day. Market prices may be greater or less than the daily net asset value of the Fund. The Fund's maximum exposure to securities lending as a percentage of its Net Asset Value will not exceed 40%. Shareholders may redeem shares on any UK business day (other than days on which relevant financial markets are closed for business and/or the day preceding any such day provided that a list of such closed market days will be published for the Fund on www.ssga.com ); and any other day at the Directors' discretion (acting reasonably) provided Shareholders are notified in advance of any such days. Any income earned by the Fund will be retained and reflected in an increase in the value of the shares. The Shares of the USD Class are issued in U.S. Dollar. Please refer to the Prospectus for more information.

Risk and Reward Profile Lower risk Higher risk Potentially lower reward Potentially higher reward 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Risk Disclaimer The risk category above is not a measure of capital loss or gains but of how significant the rises and falls in the Fund's return have been historically. For example a fund whose return has experienced significant rises and falls will be in a higher risk category, whereas a fund whose return has experienced less significant rises and falls will be in a lower risk category. The lowest category (i.e., category 1) does not mean that a fund is a risk free investment. As the Fund's risk category has been calculated using historical simulated proxy data, it may not be a reliable indication of the Fund's future risk profile. The Fund's risk category shown is not guaranteed and may change in the future. Why is this Fund in this category? The Fund is in risk category 6 as its return has experienced very high rises and falls historically. The following are material risks relevant to the Fund which are not adequately captured by the risk category. Concentration Risk: When the Fund focuses its investments in a particular way, the issues affecting the investments will have a greater effect than if the Fund was more diversified. This concentration may also limit the Fund's liquidity. Index Tracking Risk: The Fund's performance may not exactly track the Index. This can result from market fluctuations, changes in the composition of the Index, transaction costs, the costs of making changes to the Fund's portfolio and other Fund expenses. Liquidity Risk & ETF Liquidity Risk: Lack of a ready market or resale restrictions may limit the Fund's ability to sell a security at an advantageous time or price or at all. Illiquid securities may trade at a discount and may affect the ability to meet redemptions on a timely basis. Where the Fund invests in illiquid securities or does not trade in large volumes, the bid offer spreads may widen, the Fund may be exposed to increased valuation risk and reduced ability to trade. Shares in the Fund may also trade at prices materially different to the last available NAV. Please refer to the Prospectus for full details about the risks associated with this Fund. # Key Investor Information Charges The charges you pay are used to pay the cost of running the Fund, including the costs of marketing and distributing it.
