Exhibit A
PLAN OF LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION
SSgA Core Edge Equity Fund
SSgA Core Edge Equity Fund (the “Fund”), a separate series of the SSgA Funds, a Massachusetts
business trust (the “Trust”), shall proceed to a complete liquidation according to the procedures
set forth in this Plan of Liquidation and Termination (the “Plan”), effective on or around August
30, 2010.
The Plan was approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust as of August 17, 2010.
Effective as of August 17, 2010, the Fund will cease the public offering of its shares and
shall not engage in any business activities, except for the purpose of preparing to wind up, and
winding up, its business and affairs, taking reasonable steps to preserve the value of the Fund’s
assets, and distributing the Fund’s assets to shareholders in accordance with the Plan, provided,
however, that in preparing to wind up its business and affairs, the Fund may continue to carry on
its activities as a series investment company, as described in its current Prospectus, with regard
to existing shareholders and assets, until final distribution to shareholders. The Fund shall
cause the orderly liquidation of its assets to cash form consistent with the terms of the Plan, by
sale or holding to maturity of its investments as the Trust’s officers and the Fund’s investment
adviser shall determine to be advisable, and pay or provide for payment of all outstanding
obligations, taxes, expenses and other liabilities, accrued or contingent.
The Officers of the Trust shall provide advance notice to shareholders, if any, of the
liquidation of the Fund, request instructions as to the distribution of proceeds and arrange for
the distribution of the Fund’s net assets to shareholders in complete redemption of their shares on
a pro-rata basis. Such distribution shall be made to each such shareholder in accordance with
instructions from such shareholder, provided that if a shareholder has not given instructions to
the Trust by the time that the proceeds are distributed, the shareholder’s redemption proceeds
shall be distributed by the mailing of a check to such shareholder, except as follows: (i) if the
Officers of the Trust reasonably believe that the shareholder’s address of record is incorrect, the
shareholder’s redemption proceeds shall be invested in the SSgA Prime Money Market Fund; and (ii)
if the Officers of the Trust reasonably believe that the shareholder is an individual retirement
account (▇▇▇), the shareholder’s redemption proceeds shall be invested in the SSgA Prime Money
Market Fund.
After the completion of the distribution of the Fund’s assets under the Plan, if any, the
Officers of the Trust shall do any and all things necessary, with the advice of counsel, to wind up
the affairs of the Fund, including the filing of any required documents with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and any applicable state securities commissions, the State of Washington, the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the City of Boston, or any other federal or state agencies.
After the completion of the distribution of the Fund’s assets under the Plan, if any, the
Trustees shall be discharged of any and all further liabilities and duties with respect to the Fund
and its shareholders and/or its creditors, and the right, title and interest of all parties
shall be canceled and discharged with respect to the Fund.
The Officers of the Trust shall be, and they hereby are, authorized by the approval of the
Plan by the Board of Trustees of the Trust to perform such acts that are necessary, desirable or
convenient, with the advice of counsel, to carry out the details of the Plan, to execute,
acknowledge and deliver any and all documents necessary to distribute the net assets of the Fund
and thereafter terminate the Fund’s existence and to carry out the Plan as set forth in the
paragraphs above.
