PIMCO Funds: Global Investors Series plc Styne House Upper Hatch Street Dublin 2 Ireland IMPORTANT : This document requires your immediate attention. If you have any questions about the content of this document, you should seek independent professional advice. All terms used in this document have the same meanings as in the Prospectus. 4 September 2009 To: Holders of Class H Retail shares of PIMCO Funds: Global Investors Series plc (“GIS”) Re: Conversion of shares to Class E shares Dear Shareholder: We are writing to inform you of an important change to your investment in GIS. In October 2008, GIS issued a supplement to the prospectus amending the dealing deadline for Class H Retail shares such that it is the same as for other share classes of the company. Effectively, this means that Class H Retail shares have substantially the same characteristics as E Classes, the Company’s other share class aimed at retail investors. Given the similarity of the share classes, and in order to maximise the benefits for investors of enhanced economies of scale, the Directors of GIS have decided to consolidate the holdings of Class H Retail shares with the equivalent Class E share. There will be no change to the fees or dealing arrangements as a result of this transfer. At close of business on 30 October 2009, your holding in Class H Retail shares will be exchanged for the equivalent value of Class E shares in the same fund. Class H Retail shares will henceforth cease to exist. A confirmation of the number of Class E shares allotted will be issued the following day. A copy of the supplement to the prospectus issued in respect of the transaction is enclosed. If you have any further questions, please contact your appointed PIMCO account manager or financial intermediary. Thank you for your continued support of PIMCO funds. Yours faithfully,

Signed by Joseph V. McDevitt For and on behalf of PIMCO Funds: Global Investors Series plc

PIMCO FUNDS: Global Investors Series plc

An umbrella type open-ended investment company with variable capital and with segregated liability between Funds incorporated with limited liability under the laws of Ireland with registered number 276928.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROSPECTUS

16 September, 2009

This supplement is supplemental to, forms part of and should be read in conjunction with and in the context of the prospectus for PIMCO Funds: Global Investors Series plc (the “Company”) dated 11 June, 2007 (the “Prospectus”) as amended from time to time.

The Directors of the Company wish to inform the Shareholders and prospective investors in the Company of the following amendments affecting the Company’s Prospectus with effect from that date of this Supplement.

Capitalised terms used herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Prospectus.

1. Revised Fees and Expenses Structure

With effect from 00.01 a.m. on 31 October, 2009 (Irish time) (the “Effective Date”) the Directors have simplified the fee and expense structure of the Company by paying the Manager a single fixed Management Fee out of which shall be paid the fees of the Investment Advisers, the fees of the Administrator and Custodian, and certain other expenses which shall include the fees of Paying Agents (and other local representatives) in jurisdictions where the Funds are registered.

As a result of this change it is no longer necessary to operate the expense limitation procedure and expense limits in relation to the Institutional Classes, Investor Classes, Administrative Classes and E Classes which have been operated by the Manager to date. Accordingly, as outlined below under the heading “Changes to Material Contracts” the Operational Expense Limitation Agreement between the Company and PIMCO LLC dated 26th March 2003 (as amended) has been terminated.

However, in order to manage the effect of certain limited operational expenses that are not covered by the proposed Management Fee, the Company proposes to introduce a new expense limitation provision whereby the Manager may waive, reduce or reimburse all or any portion of its Management Fee to ensure that the effect of establishment costs and Directors’ fees (which are not covered by the Management Fee) on any Fund’s expense levels does not exceed a predetermined level (with the proviso that the Manager may recoup any amounts waived, reduced or reimbursed within a 36 month period provided that total expenses, including such recoupment, do not exceed the predetermined level.)

Accordingly, the Prospectus shall be amended as follows:

1.1 The heading “Advisory Fee” in the Table of Contents shall be removed in its entirety.

1.2 In the section headed “DEFINITIONS”, the definition of “Advisory Fee” shall be deleted in its entirety.

1.3 In the section headed “DEFINITIONS”, the following new definition shall be inserted:

Page 13: FINAL HK Cover Letter Eng 05736140 20090908

2

“Management Fee means the management fee payable to the Manager as set forth in the section entitled “FEES AND EXPENSES”.

1.4 The eighth paragraph of the sub-section entitled “All Asset Fund” under the heading “Fund Summaries” contains reference to an “Advisory Fee”. As the All Asset Fund terminated on 31 May, 2009 this paragraph shall be deleted in its entirety.

1.5 The twelfth paragraph of the sub-section entitled “Global Multi-Alpha Fund” under the heading “Fund Summaries” contains reference to an “Advisory Fee”. As the Global Multi-Alpha Fund terminated on 13 March, 2009 this paragraph shall be deleted in its entirety.

1.6 The twelfth paragraph of the sub-section entitled “Global Multi-Asset Fund” under the heading “Fund Summaries” shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

The Fund may invest in Class Z shares of other Funds of the Company. Investment is not permitted in Funds which invest in other Funds of the Company. The maximum aggregate management fees that may be charged by the Underlying Funds in which the Fund will invest is 5% of their aggregate Net Asset Value.

1.7 The final paragraph in the section entitled “FUND TRANSACTIONS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST” shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

The Manager may at its complete discretion, from time to time enter into arrangements with banks, financial intermediaries or large institutional shareholders to offset the Management Fee incurred by virtue of their investment in the Company. Any obligations arising from such arrangements will be met from the Manager’s own resources.

1.8 The section of the Prospectus entitled “Fees and Expenses” shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“FEES AND EXPENSES

(b) Administration and Custody Services On behalf of the Company, the Manager provides and/or procures administration and custody services. Such services include administration, transfer agency, fund accounting, custody and sub-custody in respect of each Fund.

terminated, with no remaining investors and no further subscriptions being accepted in those Funds. Accordingly, no Management Fee is stated above for those Funds. The Management Fee attributable to the Class H Institutional and Class E share classes is generally higher than the Management Fee attributable to the other share classes. From this higher fee the Manager may pay for the expense of distribution, intermediary and other services rendered to Shareholders in these share classes of the Funds directly or indirectly by distributors or broker-dealers, banks, financial intermediaries, or other intermediaries. Given the fixed nature of Management Fee, the Manager, and not Shareholders, takes the risk of any price increases in the cost of the services covered by the Management Fee and takes the risk of expense levels relating to such services increasing above the Management Fee as a result of a decrease in net assets. Conversely, the Manager, and not Shareholders, would benefit from any price decrease in the cost of services covered by the Management Fee, including decreased expense levels resulting from an increase in net assets. Z Classes Management Fee Due to the nature of the Z Class offering and in an effort to avoid the duplication of fees, the Management Fee for the Z Classes will be set at 0% per annum. Investment in other Collective Investment Schemes linked to the Manager If a Fund acquires units of another collective investment scheme which is managed, directly or indirectly, by the Manager or any affiliate of the Manager with which it is linked by way of common management or control or by way of a direct or indirect stake of more than 10% of the capital or votes, the Fund may not be charged any subscription, conversion or redemption fees in connection with the Fund’s investment in the other collective investment scheme. If a Fund invests in shares of any other Fund of the Company, the investing Fund may not charge a Management Fee in respect of that portion of its assets invested in the other Fund of the Company save that it may do so if the investing Fund’s investment is restricted to a zero Management Fee share class of the other Fund (such as the Company’s Z Class shares). In addition, this restriction will not prevent the Manager from charging a Management Fee to the investing Fund if the Manager is charging such fee for onward transmission to an unaffiliated party as remuneration for asset allocation services in relation to a Fund for which the service of such a party is used. Service Fee The Service Fee which applies to the Investor Classes only is paid to the Manager and may be used to reimburse broker-dealers, financial intermediaries, or other intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution and marketing of Shares and/or the provision of certain shareholder services or the administration of plans or programmes that use Fund Shares as their funding medium, and to reimburse other related expenses. The services are provided directly by the Manager or indirectly through broker-dealers, financial intermediaries, or other intermediaries to all Shareholders of the Investor Classes. The same services apply to all Shareholders of the Investor Classes for the fees levied. These services may include responding to Shareholder inquiries about the Funds and their performance; assisting Shareholders with purchases, redemptions and exchanges of Shares; maintaining individualised account information and providing account statements for Shareholders; and maintaining other records relevant to a Shareholder’s investment in the Funds. Plans or programmes that use Fund Shares as their funding medium may include unit-linked insurance products and pension, retirement or savings plans maintained by employers. All Shareholders in the Investor Classes will receive services pursuant to agreements entered into with financial intermediaries with whom those Shareholders have a servicing relationship. The Service Fee is calculated on the basis of 0.35% per annum of the Net Asset Value of each Fund attributable to the

Page 18: FINAL HK Cover Letter Eng 05736140 20090908

7

Investor Classes. The Service Fee is paid out of the Net Asset Value attributable to the Investor Classes except in relation to the US Government Money Market Fund and the Euro Liquidity Fund which attract a Service Fee of 0.125% per annum of the Net Asset Value of those Funds. The Service Fee for each Fund is accrued on each Dealing Day and is payable monthly in arrears. The Manager may retain for its own benefit in whole or in part any Service Fee not payable to broker-dealers, financial intermediaries or other intermediaries. Trail Fee The Trail Fee which applies to Administrative Class Shares is paid to the Distributor for personal services rendered to Shareholders of the Funds and the maintenance of Shareholder accounts, including compensation to, and expenses (including telephone and overhead expenses) of, financial consultants or other employees of participating or introducing brokers, certain banks and other financial intermediaries who assist in the processing of purchase or redemption requests or the processing of dividend payments, who provide information periodically to Shareholders showing their positions in a Fund’s Shares, who forward communications from the Company to Shareholders, who render ongoing advice concerning the suitability of particular investment opportunities offered by the Funds in light of the Shareholders’ needs, who respond to inquiries from Shareholders relating to such services, or who train personnel in the provision of such services. The services are provided directly by the Distributor or indirectly through brokerdealers, banks, financial intermediaries, or other intermediaries to all Shareholders of Administrative Class Shares. The Trail Fee is calculated on the basis of 0.50% per annum of the Net Asset Value of each Fixed Income Fund, except in relation to the US Government Money Market Fund and the Euro Liquidity Fund which attract a Trail Fee of 0.25% per annum of the Net Asset Value of those Funds, 0.50% per annum of the Net Asset Value of each Strategic Markets Fund, and 0.75% per annum of the Net Asset Value of each Equity Fund attributable to the Administrative Class Shares. The Trail Fee for each Fund is accrued on each Dealing Day and is payable monthly in arrears. The Distributor may retain for its own benefit in whole or in part any Trail Fee not payable to broker-dealers, banks, financial intermediaries or other intermediaries. Establishment Costs The cost of establishing each of the below Funds and the preparation and printing of the relevant supplemental prospectus in relation thereto and the date on which each Fund was approved by the Financial Regulator are each set out below as follows: Fund Date of Approval Balance of

The above costs will be amortised over the first five years of each Fund’s operation or such other period as the Directors may determine. The cost of establishing any subsequent Fund will be charged to the relevant Fund and such costs will be subject to the Expense Limitation provisions noted below. Directors’ Remuneration The Articles provide that the Directors shall be entitled to a fee by way of remuneration at a rate to be determined from time to time by the Company. The aggregate fee paid to each independent Director shall not exceed EUR40,000 in each year. In addition, each independent Director will be reimbursed for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Other Charges Details of any Preliminary Charge payable on a subscription for Shares (if any) and/or any Redemption Charge payable on redemption of Shares (if any) payable on redemption of Shares (if any) and/or any Exchange Charge payable on the exchange of Shares (if any) are set out in respect of the Shares of each Fund in “Key Information Regarding Share Transactions.” Expense Limitation (including Management Fee Waiver and Recoupment) The Manager has agreed with the Company, pursuant to the Management Agreement between the Company and the Manager dated 28th January, 1998 as amended, to manage total annual fund operating expenses for any Class of Fund, by waiving, reducing or reimbursing all or any portion of its Management Fee, to the extent that (and for such period of time that) such operating expenses would exceed, due to the payment of establishment costs and pro rata Directors’ fees, the sum of such Class of such Fund’s Management Fee (prior to the application of any applicable Management Fee waiver), any Service or Trail fees, as applicable, and other expenses borne by such Fund’s share Class not covered by the Management Fee as described above (other than establishment costs and pro rata Directors’ fees), plus 0.0049% per annum (calculated on a daily basis based on the NAV of the Fund). In any month in which the Management Agreement is in effect, the Manager may recoup from a Fund any portion of the Management Fee waived, reduced or reimbursed pursuant to the Management Agreement (the “Reimbursement Amount”) during the previous 36 months, provided that such amount paid to the Manager will not 1), exceed 0.0049% per annum of the Class of the applicable Fund’s average net assets (calculated on a daily basis); 2) exceed the total Reimbursement Amount; 3) include any amounts previously reimbursed to the Manager; or 4) cause any Class of a Fund to maintain a net negative yield. Regarding Share Transactions Your financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this Prospectus. Please speak with the financial adviser through whom you have purchased Shares if you have questions about these additional fees or commissions. Fee Increases The rates of fees for the provision of services to any Fund or Class may be increased within the maximum level stated above so long as at least 2 weeks written notice of the new rate(s) is given to Shareholders of the relevant Fund or Class.” 2. Changes to Material Contracts In light of the above changes to the fees of the Company a number of the material contracts of the Company have been amended. Accordingly, the following changes shall be made to the Prospectus: In the section headed “GENERAL INFORMATION” under the sub-heading “Material Contracts”, section (g) relating to the amended Operational Expense Limitation Agreement dated 26th March, 2003, as amended, and section (d) relating to the Services Agreement dated 29th August,

The Custodian Agreement may be terminated by any party on 90 days written notice or forthwith by notice in writing in certain circumstances such as the insolvency of any party or unremedied breach after notice provided that the Custodian shall continue to act as custodian until a successor custodian approved by the Financial Regulator is appointed by the Company or the Company's authorisation by the Financial Regulator is revoked.”

To the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors (who have taken all reasonable care to ensure such is the case) the information contained in this document is in accordance with the facts and does not omit anything likely to affect the import of such information.
