Aim for Monthly Distributions (Dividend rate is not guaranteed, distributions may be made out of capital*)

HONG KONG, Sept. 29, 2025 -- Mirae Asset Global Investments (Hong Kong) Limited ("Mirae Asset") today announced the upcoming listing of the Global X Nasdaq 100 Covered Call Active ETF on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Scheduled to commence trading on September 30, 2025, making it the first actively managed Nasdaq 100 covered call ETF in the Asian market.

The listing will also implement a dual-counter trading model, designed to provide investors with a more efficient and flexible tool for index options strategy investment.

• HKD Counter (Stock Code: 3451.HK)
• USD Counter (Stock Code: 9451.HK)

The Nasdaq 100 index has high exposure to technology and growth-focused companies. While we maintain a constructive long-term outlook on the growth of AI, we anticipate short-term volatilities driven by macro data, geopolitics tension, and tariff policies. This new ETF combines Nasdaq 100 exposure with an active covered call strategy, aiming to provide premium income^# potential, downside cushioning, and tax efficiency for Hong Kong investors.

Key Features of the ETF:

1. Innovative Income# Strategy – The ETF aims to deliver monthly distributions (not guaranteed and may be paid from capital*), providing investors with an appealing income stream.
2. Option Premium: The covered call strategy based on Nasdaq 100 index generates higher option premium income compared to that of other major US indices due to higher volatility.
3. Tax Efficiency for HK Investors – HK-listed ETFs are subject to no dividend withholding taxes, enhancing net yields for investors.

Ms. Judy ZHU, Chief Executive Officer of Mirae Asset Global Investments (Hong Kong) Limited, said: "Our innovative spirit continues with the launch of Hong Kong's 5th Covered Call strategy - Global X Nasdaq 100 Covered Call Active ETF (3451/9451). Leveraging our extensive experience, we are committed to providing sophisticated, innovative income-generating solutions for our investors."

* Positive distribution does not mean positive return. Payments of distributions out of capital or effectively out of capital amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor's original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Any such distributions may result in an immediate reduction in the Net Asset Value per Share of the Fund and will reduce the capital available for future investment.

# The covered call strategy partially caps potential upside gains. From the time the index call options are written until their expiration, the maximum gain is limited to the premium received from selling the index call options, plus any positive difference between the settlement price and the cost basis of the underlying assets. If the value of the relevant index declines during the option period, the premium income earned by the Fund from writing the index call options may not be sufficient to offset the losses from the long positions.
