(“WNTN”) and Winton Capital Management Limited (the “Trading Advisor”) are parties to an Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement dated as of February 27, 2015 as amended by an amendment to the Advisory Agreement dated as of April 30, 2015 (the “Advisory Agreement”).

The effective date of the Amendment is January 3, 2018.
(2) The Amendment reflects recent changes under the European Union’s revised Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (commonly known as “MiFID II”), which was effective on and after January 3, 2018.

The Amendment is intended to allow the Trading Advisor to comply with these new requirements under MiFID II.
