INFORMATION TO SHAREHOLDERS
OF THE SICAV “SSGA JAPAN ALPHA EQUITY FUND”
EUR Shares : FR0000027294 / B Shares: FR0011357680
Paris, 19 September 2013
Dear Shareholder,
As a shareholder of the French open-ended investment fund with variable capital SSgA Japan Alpha Equity
Fund (the “SICAV”), which is managed by State Street Global Advisors France S.A. (the “Management
Company”), we would like to thank you for your trust in us.
Due to numerous requests for redemptions and a low number of subscriptions, the size of the SICAV’s assets has
declined significantly in recent years. Given the current low assets of the SICAV, it has become difficult for the
Management Company to manage the fund in the best interest of its shareholders. At its meeting of 21 August
2013, the Board of Directors therefore decided to initiate the early dissolution and liquidation of the SICAV.
The dissolution plan was approved by the French Financial Markets Authority on 10 September 2013.
In accordance with Article 28 of the SICAV’s Articles of Association, subscriptions and redemptions of the
SICAV’s shares are suspended starting from the publication date of the notice of meeting for the combined
general meeting which will deliberate on motions for the early dissolution and liquidation of the SICAV. Since
the notice has been published today, 19 September 2013, you can no longer subscribe for shares or request to
redeem your shares of the SICAV starting from this date.
The current schedule for the liquidation of the SICAV is as follows:
– The combined general meeting of shareholders of the SICAV convened to deliberate on the early
dissolution and liquidation of the SICAV will be held on 4 October 2013 on first call and, if there is no
quorum, on 15 October 2013 on second call.
This meeting will also appoint a liquidator whose mission is to liquidate the SICAV’s portfolio, pay its
creditors and divide the remaining balance among the shareholders in proportion to the number of
SICAV shares held by them.
– In view of the liquidation proceedings, the SICAV’s shareholders will receive, under the conditions set
out in the SICAV’s prospectus, a cash amount corresponding to the number of SICAV shares they hold,
within a period that may vary depending on the specific settlement procedures of each accountholder.
The SICAV shareholders will be reimbursed from 22 October 2013.
– The ordinary general meeting of the SICAV’s shareholders called to deliberate on the closing of the
liquidation should be held on 12 November 2013. This date corresponds to the effective date of
liquidation.
However, if you wish to stay invested in the Japan equities markets, we propose that you reinvest the money you
receive from the reimbursement of your SICAV shares in the SICAV SSgA Japan Index Equity Fund. This
product, whose key investor information document is attached herewith, could provide the desired exposure,
which is similar to that of the SICAV. Please note that such reinvestment would give rise to charges of 0.05% of
the amount of the subscription, payable to the SICAV SSgA Japan Index Equity Fund.

Please note that you have until 4 October 2013 to notify us of your choice between a cash refund for your
SICAV shares and reinvestment in the SICAV SSgA Japan Index Equity Fund by returning the enclosed form. If
we do not receive an answer within the time indicated above, we shall consider that you do not wish to subscribe
to the SICAV SSgA Japan Index Equity Fund, and the cash amount corresponding to your share of the remaining
balance in the context of the liquidation of the SICAV Japan Alpha Equity Fund I will be automatically paid to
you.
Your usual representative is available at all times should you need any additional information.
