Question

When, pursuant to Article 93(8) of Directive 2009/65/EC, a UCITS gives written notice to the competent authorities of both the UCITS home Member State and the UCITS host Member States, of a change to the information in the notification letter submitted in accordance with Article 93(1) of Directive 2009/65/EC, or a change regarding share classes to be marketed, should the documents referred to in Article 93(2) of Directive 2009/65/EC be included?

Answer

No, the documents referred to in Article 93(2) of Directive 2009/65/EC, should not be included. The obligation of UCITS to give written notice of amendments to information already provided in a notification letter of cross-border marketing should be understood as covering only the updated information in Annex 1 of the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/910 compared to the previous notification. Amendments to fund documents should not be covered by the obligation of written notice of Article 93(8) of Directive 2009/65/EC.
