RE: Clarification of Form U.S. Funds
Should Use to Claim Treaty Relief
Dear Sir:
The Investment Company Institute (“ICI”)1 requests guidance clarifying that regulated
investment companies (“RICs”) should claim at-source treaty relief by filing the form (No. 72-22)
used by other foreign corporations. RICs, as discussed in detail in the attachment, are organized in
the United States and treated as corporations for U.S. tax purposes. Form No. 72-2 is the appropriate
form because RICs are persons, liable to tax in the United States as residents, and the beneficial
owners of their income. As such, RICs are entitled to treaty relief in their own right.
We request this clarification because of conflicting advice regarding which types of investment
funds are to file Form No. 72-2 rather than Form No. 29-13 (Report of Overseas Investment Vehicle).
A fund that is entitled to treaty relief in its own right, we submit, should file Form No. 72-2. A fund
that may claim relief only to the extent that its investors are treaty-eligible, in contrast, should file
Form No. 29-13. Because RICs are treaty-entitled, they should file Form No. 72-2.

The Need for Administrable Rules for Claiming Treaty Relief
The ICI supports administrable rules that allow publicly offered, regulated collective
investment vehicles (“CIVs”) to receive the applicable withholding tax relief provided by Korea’s
double tax treaties. The letter we submitted to you in January identified several clarifications that we
believed would ensure that restrictions proposed would not be applied in ways that did not appear to
be intended.3
Administrable rules are necessary for several reasons. Two of the most significant reasons are
discussed below. First, CIVs generally have many thousands (often tens or hundreds or thousands) of
investors; these investors may buy or sell CIV units on a daily basis. The most common type of CIV,
known in the U.S. as a “mutual fund,” does not have a fixed number of units. Instead, an investor may
purchase or redeem as many CIV units as the investor chooses from the CIV (either directly or
through a nominee, such as a securities broker or a bank). Because both the number of CIV units
held by a single investor, and the total number of CIV units outstanding, can change on a daily basis,
the tracking of investor interests is challenging and, as discussed below, frequently is not handled at
the CIV level.
Second, shareholder information in most markets, including in the United States, often is not
available to the CIV itself. Specifically, CIV investors very often acquire their CIV interests through
intermediaries, such as banks or securities brokers, rather than directly from the CIV. In many cases,
intermediaries may purchase and redeem CIV units through other (typically far larger) intermediaries
that, in turn, are in direct contact with the CIV. This tiered-distribution structure adds to the
complexity of acquiring customer-specific information about a CIV’s many thousands of investors.
While, in a few countries, all customer information must be provided by these intermediaries
to the CIV, the far more typical approach is for customer information to remain with the
intermediary. The intermediary has a very strong commercial reason to keep confidential the identity
of its customers; if its competitors, including the CIV and its manager, knew the customers’ identities,
they could seek to deal directly with the customer (and effectively “take” the business from the
intermediary).
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) has studied at
length this need for administrable treaty-relief rules in the CIV context. Its findings have been
published in two documents. First, the OECD’s Committee on Fiscal Affairs in April 2010 approved
a report entitled “The Granting of Treaty Benefits with Respect to the Income of Collective
Investment Vehicles” (the “CIV Report”).4 Second, later that year, the OECD released its 2010

Update to the Commentary on Article 1 of the Model Convention.5 This update included
recommendations based upon the CIV Report. Both the CIV Report and the Update to the
Commentary discuss factors that support providing certain types of CIVs with treaty benefits in their
own right. RICs clearly satisfy the factors discussed in the CIV Report and the updated
Commentary.
The Draft Presidential Decree
The draft Presidential Decree regarding Article 98-6 of the Korean Income Tax Law
(“CITL”)6 appeared to provide the administrable rules we requested. Specifically, Paragraph 3 of
Article 138-7 of the draft Presidential Decree provides that an offshore investment vehicle (“OIV”)
that (1) satisfies the requirements for qualifying offshore collective investment vehicle (“OCIV”)
status, (2) submits a “Confirmation report of OIV,” and (3) meets certain conditions, would not be
required to file beneficial owner details.
Form No. 29-13 Requires Considerable Details
Form No. 29-13 (Report of Overseas Investment Vehicles) requires extensive information
about a CIV’s investors. Specifically, Boxes 11-15 of the Form No. 29-13 require the following
information about a CIV’s investors:
• residence countries of its investors (Box 11);
• amount (in units) of CIV held by residents of each country (Box 12);
• percentage of total units held by the residents of each country (Box 13);
• number of beneficial owners resident in each country (Box 14); and
• the tax rate applied by type of income to the residents of each country (Box 15).
Just about the only details not required by Form No. 29-13 are the names of the CIV’s investors.
Form No. 29-13 also requires that this information be provided on a quarterly basis. Those
CIVs with a large number of intermediaries (many of which may transact CIV share purchases and
redemptions through tiered-distribution structures) will have a far more difficult time acquiring this
information on a quarterly basis than they would have acquiring it on an annual basis.
When a CIV can claim treaty benefits only on behalf of its investors – rather than in its own
right – a government’s interest in having some information about the CIV’s investors is appropriate.

6 This Decree was issued by MOSF Public Notice No. 2012-3 ( January 6, 2012).

April 13, 2012
Page 4 of 4
In these situations, information like that required by Form No. 29-13 can provide the government
with comfort that only the appropriate level of benefit is being claimed. It is essential, however, that
the procedures for collecting the required information– including the specificity of the information
collected, the frequency of collection, and the procedures for updating information that might not be
collected with sufficient promptness – be administrable. Without administrable procedures, the
benefits of bilaterally-negotiated tax treaties effectively will be denied to the residents of the treaty
partners.
RICs Should File Form No. 72-2 as a Foreign Corporation
RICs, as discussed above and in the detailed attachment, are both treated as corporations for
U.S. tax purposes and entitled to treaty relief in their own right. RICs are persons, liable to tax in the
United States as residents, and the beneficial owners of their income. RICs, consequently, should
claim treaty relief by filing Form No. 72-2.
The detailed investor information required by Form No. 29-3 is not relevant to a RIC’s claim
for treaty relief. Were a RIC required to collect that information, it could establish that the
overwhelming portion of all RIC shares (generally over 99 percent) are held by U.S. persons. The
administrative burden of collecting this information, however, is both considerable and unnecessary.
RICs are foreign corporations that satisfy, in their own right, every requirement for treaty relief.
Consequently, a RIC should file Form No. 72-2 as a foreign corporation and represent that it is an
overseas investment vehicle that is recognized, under the Korea-U.S. treaty, as the beneficial owner of
its income.

We respectfully request that the guidance we seek be issued promptly. RICs, their advisers,
and their custodians will appreciate greatly the clarification that they are to file Form No. 72-2. Please
feel free to contact me (at lawson@ici.org or 001-202-326-5832) if I can provide you with any
additional information.

RE: Administrative Obstacles Effectively Preventing
CIVs from Receiving Tax Treaty Relief
Dear Mr. Han and Mr. Jung:
The asset management and banking associations signing this letter are writing to express our
profound concerns with the administrative requirements now being imposed on non-Korean collective
investment vehicles (“CIVs”) seeking to claim treaty benefits. Considerable confusion regarding these
requirements has arisen as well; the lack of clear administrative guidance regarding the requirements’
application has resulted in CIVs receiving inconsistent information from different Korean
subcustodians. The new requirements (and the resulting confusion) are so burdensome, we submit,
that CIVs effectively are being denied the ability to claim treaty benefits (1) that they are entitled to
receive directly or (2) for which they are making claims on behalf of their investors; these “indirect”
claims are made only when the CIV is not treaty-entitled and the only practical approach for investors
to receive benefits is indirectly, through the CIV.
This letter describes our concerns and suggests possible approaches for addressing them. We
would be pleased to follow up with you at your convenience.
Background – OECD Report on Granting Treaty Benefits with Respect to Income of CIVs
The difficulties faced by CIVs in receiving treaty benefits to which they or their investors are
entitled were considered closely during an extensive consultation between governments (including the
Korean government) and business at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
(“OECD”). The result of this extensive consultation was a report “The Granting of Treaty Benefits
with Respect to the Income of Collective Investment Vehicles” (the “CIV Report”)1 that was approved
by the OECD’s Committee on Fiscal Affairs in April 2010. The CIV Report’s recommendations then

were included in the 2010 Update to the Commentary on Article 1 of the Model Convention (the
“Model Convention Commentary”).2 This Report and the Model Convention Commentary inform
our views regarding the paramount need for certainty regarding treaty eligibility and administrable rules
for receiving treaty benefits to which the CIVs or their investors are entitled.
CIV Background
Before discussing the difficulties faced by CIVs in claiming treaty relief, it is useful first to
review how CIVs operate, how they are distributed, who are their investors, and what are their
investors’ rights with respect to CIVs’ income and assets. The CIVs with which we are concerned, and
which are the subject of the CIV Report, are those funds that are widely held, hold a diversified
portfolio of securities, and are subject to investor-protection laws in the country in which they are
organized.
CIVs typically are offered publicly through distributors with a local clientele. Many CIVs are
registered for sale, and distributed, only in the country in which they are organized; these CIVs
generally have essentially 100 percent “home-country” investors.3 Other CIVs are offered either
regionally (such as throughout Europe) or globally; while these CIVs may have extensive distribution
networks, the distributors of publicly-offered CIVs that operate within each country typically also have
a local clientele.
CIVs generally have many thousands (often tens or hundreds of thousands) of investors; these
investors often buy or sell CIV interests either directly from the CIV sponsor or, more likely, from an
unaffiliated distributor. CIV units acquired through unaffiliated distributors often are held in a
nominee (or “street name”) account in the name of the distributor. As noted in the CIV Report,
because the individual investor’s identity is proprietary information belonging to the distributor, CIVs
often do not know the identity of the underlying owners of the CIV units.4 Nevertheless, as noted
above, they often have very strong indications of the underlying owners’ tax residency because of the
identity of the distributor through which the investment was made.
A CIV’s investor base typically changes every day. In some cases, investor turnover can be high.
In the case of a globally-distributed CIV, where the CIV units are more likely to be held both by treaty-
2 http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/23/43/45689328.pdf
3 Paragraph 15 of the CIV Report explains the reasons why, in many cases, “essentially all of [a domestic CIV’s] investors are
located in the same country.”
4 See Paragraph 18 of the CIV Report.
Coalition Letter Re: Administrative Obstacles Effectively Preventing CIVs from Receiving Tax Treaty Relief

Page 3 of 9
entitled persons and non-treaty-entitled persons, the portion of treaty-entitled investors is likely to
change relatively slowly.5
A CIV does know precisely how many CIV units are outstanding on each day. Among other
reasons, this information is necessary for a CIV to compute its daily “net asset value” (or “NAV”) –
which is the price at which a single unit of the CIV will be purchased or sold. The NAV is calculated by
determining the CIV’s gross assets, subtracting gross liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares
outstanding. Because withholding taxes and treaty relief affect NAV, CIVs have a keen interest in
certainty regarding their eligibility for treaty relief.
A CIV investor typically has an undivided interest in the CIV’s assets. Because of the daily
changes in a CIV’s investor base, however, income streams (such as a dividend received on 15 June) are
not tracked to particular investors (such as those owning interests in the CIV on 15 June). Instead,
when a CIV makes a distribution, the distribution is allocated pro rata to all of the investors in the CIV
(based on the number of units owned as of the date of the distribution).6
Difficulties Faced by CIVs in Claiming Treaty Relief
The CIV Report describes in detail the difficulties faced by CIVs claiming treaty relief. The
difficulties are of two kinds. First, difficulties arise if a CIV is required to determine the tax residency of
its investors too frequently or with too much precision. The reasons for these difficulties involve the
daily changes in a CIV’s investor base and the intermediated structure through which CIV interests are
distributed.
Second, difficulties arise because of uncertainty regarding the extent to which certain CIVs may
claim treaty benefits in their own right and when they must claim on behalf of their investors. The CIV
Report discusses at length the specific requirements that a CIV must meet to claim treaty relief in its
own right. These requirements – that the CIV be a person, that it be a resident of a contracting state,
and that it be the beneficial owner of its income – are met by many CIVs.7 If a CIV does not satisfy
these requirements, the only practical manner in which the CIV’s investors may receive treaty benefits
is if the CIV makes a claim on their behalf.
5 See Paragraph 6.31 of the Commentary.
6 See Paragraph 20 of the CIV Report.
7 See Paragraph 36 of the CIV Report.

CIV-Specific Changes to the Model Convention Commentary
To address these difficulties, the CIV Report proposes several changes, since adopted, to the
Model Convention Commentary. Among other things, the Commentary suggests mutual agreements
between countries regarding the treatment of a country’s CIVs. The Commentary also notes the
difficulties in identifying investors on a frequent basis and suggests that “practical and reliable
approaches” be accepted.8 Where a CIV industry is largely domestic, such as because tax rules provide
strong disincentives for non-resident investment, the Commentary states that it may be appropriate to
assume that the CIV is owned by the residents of the country in which it is established.9 Where a CIV
is distributed globally, the Commentary suggests that investor information be required annually; if
market conditions suggest high ownership turnover, this information could be required more
frequently – although no more often than quarterly.10
The Present Situation in Korea is Extremely Problematic and Should Be Resolved Promptly
Certainty and Administrable Rules are Essential
Certainty regarding treaty eligibility and administrable rules for claiming relief, as discussed in
the CIV Report, are of paramount importance to CIVs. Without this certainty, as noted above, a CIV
may mis-price its units – resulting in purchasers and sellers paying or receiving too much or too little for
their units.
The present situation with Korean tax relief, at best, is uncertain. At worst, CIVs that may
claim treaty benefits in their own right, and treaty-eligible investors in CIVs that must claim on behalf
of their investors, effectively are being denied their bilaterally-negotiated treaty benefits.
We encourage the Korean Ministry of Strategy and Finance (“MOSF”) and National Tax
Service (“NTS”) to adopt the recommendations we make below. These recommendations are
consistent with the OECD guidance that was developed with the participation of the Korean
representatives to the OECD.
8 See Paragraph 6.29 of the Commentary.
9 See Paragraph 6.30 of the Commentary.
10 See Paragraph 6.31 of the Commentary.
Coalition Letter Re: Administrative Obstacles Effectively Preventing CIVs from Receiving Tax Treaty Relief

Page 5 of 9
The Presidential Decree and Form No. 29-13
The Presidential Decree regarding Article 98-6 of the Korean Income Tax Law (“CITL”)11
appeared to provide the administrable rules that CIVs need. Specifically, Paragraph 3 of Article 138-7
of the Presidential Decree provides that an offshore investment vehicle (“OIV”) that (1) satisfies the
requirements for qualifying offshore collective investment vehicle (“OCIV”) status, (2) submits a
“Confirmation report of OIV,” and (3) meets certain conditions, would not be required to file
beneficial owner details.
Despite the Presidential Decree’s helpful guidance, and contrary to the OECD’s Model
Convention Commentary, we understand that no CIV may claim treaty benefits in its own right by
filing Form No. 72-2 (Application for Entitlement to Reduced Tax Rate on Domestic Sourced Income
(for Foreign Corporation)). Moreover, the form that all CIVs reportedly must use – Form No. 29-13
(Report of Overseas Investment Vehicles) – requires quarterly reporting of exhaustive information
about a CIV’s investors, sparing a CIV with 100 or more investors only from having to directly name its
investors. This quarterly reporting is inconsistent with the OECD recommendation that quarterly
reporting be required only when investor turnover is high. Additionally, even if a fund has access to the
detailed information required by Form No. 29-13, the requirement to provide reporting based on the
end of the preceding quarter does not give such fund adequate time to compile data and prepare the
Form.
Proliferating Uncertainty
Compounding the uncertainty surrounding claims for treaty benefits in Korea, our members
now report that Korean brokers expect that CIVs selling shares of Korean companies to other non-
residents file the overseas investment vehicle report on capital gain transactions. These forms are being
requested based upon a misunderstanding of Korean law – under which these transactions are exempt
from tax.
In the absence of coherent guidance clarifying the law, forms are being requested when they are
not needed and properly-filed forms (when required) are being rejected. The Korean market, we
believe, is trending dangerously toward unnecessary and unadministrable tax reporting. The
proliferating uncertainty is causing some investors to forego their treaty-entitled benefits; foreign
investment in Korea may be affected negatively.
11 This Decree was issued by MOSF Public Notice No. 2012-3 (January 6, 2012).
Coalition Letter Re: Administrative Obstacles Effectively Preventing CIVs from Receiving Tax Treaty Relief

Page 6 of 9
Lack of Reclaim Procedure
Further aggravating the situation, we understand that no market level procedure exists for CIVs,
that are withheld upon at the statutory rates, to certify their treaty eligibility and subsequently apply for
a reclaim or refund of the withheld taxes. The local custodians, in their capacity as withholding agents,
are not authorized to file tax reclaims on behalf of non-resident investors. Pursuant to an existing
procedure only the beneficial owners are able to file requisite Form Appendix VI 72-3 (Tax Refund
Application by Foreign Corporation) or Form 29-14 (Tax Refund Application by Nonresident
Individual) directly with the NTS. The lack of Tax Refund form designated for CIVs leaves them with
the only recourse of filing a suit against the NTS for the overwithheld amounts. Both beneficial owners
and CIVs are also required to engage Korean tax counsel in order to pursue the tax reclaim filing,
thereby further increasing the cost and administrative burden of availing of treaty relief.
If no refund procedure is available, the present situation is contrary to accepted international tax
norms and exacerbates greatly the problems posed by the Presidential Decree and Form No. 29-13.
Combined, these issues result in the effective denial of treaty benefits Korea owes to residents of a
Contracting State.
Recommendations
1. All CIVs treated as both Persons and Residents by the country in which they are organized (e.g.,
all CIVs treated as corporations for tax purposes and other non-fiscally-transparent CIVs)
should file Form No. 72-2 to claim treaty benefits in their own right.
2. Any CIV that cannot claim treaty benefits in its own right (under our first recommendation
above) should file Form No. 29-13 on an annual, rather than quarterly, basis. Additionally, to
allow adequate time for gathering data and preparing the Form, such annual reporting should
be due no sooner than one calendar quarter from the close of the year.
3. For purposes of the 100-investor rule for filing as a public CIV, another OIV investing in a CIV
should not be treated as a single investor. Rather, the OIV should provide details regarding the
number of its investors; the CIV should be permitted to rely upon these representations and
any other information available to it, Under this proposal, the 100-investor rule would require
detailed reporting only if there are fewer than 100 actual investors throughout the
intermediated distribution structure.12
12 These issues were addressed in detail in a letter submitted by the Investment Company Institute and ICI Global
(attached) on 20 January 2012. In the context of an OIV that offers its shares to insurance companies that in turn make the
OIV available to individual investors through variable insurance products, for example, the OIV should be permitted to
satisfy the 100-person requirement based upon the number of investors in the variable insurance products offered by the
insurance companies that are invested in that OIV.
Coalition Letter Re: Administrative Obstacles Effectively Preventing CIVs from Receiving Tax Treaty Relief
22 October 2012
Page 7 of 9
4. Guidance should be provided that the tax exemption for capital gain transactions between non-
residents applies regardless of whether any of the non-residents is a CIV. Such guidance is
needed promptly to reassure brokers that their foreign investors can trade their positions
without incurring tax or reporting obligations.
5. A “quick refund” procedure should be reestablished. This procedure would allow treaty-
entitled investors a grace period to provide documentation and would reduce unnecessary
administrative burdens that would be placed on investors, custodians, and the Korean tax
authorities by a lengthy reclaim process.
6. A tax reclaim process should be established for treaty-entitled investors that cannot provide
required tax documentation before the income event (or the end of the grace period provided
by our fifth recommendation).
Conclusion
Investor confidence in receiving tax treaty benefits that were understood to be available in
Korea is eroding across the global funds industry. We believe that Korea’s present tax treaty
administration issues must be addressed by positive guidance in short order to remedy the investor
concerns regarding the tax treatment of their Korean capital markets investments.

• International bond markets delivered modest overall gains for the year
ended December 31, 2012, against a backdrop of accommodative
central bank actions and gradual global economic improvement.
• The International Bond Fund outpaced the Barclays Global Aggregate

• The low yields currently available in developed market debt appear
expensive, and we prefer exposure to the more appealing valuations in
developing markets.
• We expect favorable returns over the coming months amid signs of
stabilization in Europe, modest improvement in the U.S. and Japan, and
better-than-expected economic data from China.

Fellow Shareholders
International bonds generated sizable gains amid signs of stabilization in the
eurozone, moderate economic growth in the U.S., and incremental improvements
in China and other key emerging markets. Accommodative monetary policies from
many of the world’s central banks and heightened investor appetite for higher-
yielding assets also helped to support emerging markets debt. Government bonds in
non-U.S. developed markets generated decent gains but underperformed emerging
markets debt, which surged as investors sought more attractive yields.
The International Bond Fund gained 4.67% and 6.10% for the 6- and
12-month periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively. (Returns
for the fund’s Advisor Class varied slightly due to its different fee
structure.) The fund
outperformed the Barclays
Global Aggregate ex
USD Bond Index over
both periods but lagged
the Lipper International
Income Funds Average.
In aggregate, the fund’s
currency selection,
country selection, duration
exposure, allocation to
below investment-grade
bonds, and sector and
security selection helped
results versus the Barclays benchmark for the year. Underweight
allocations to peripheral European sovereign debt and underweight
exposure to the British pound and Australian dollar weighed
on returns.

MaRkET ENvIRONMENT
Buoyed by positive economic and political developments, investor
sentiment was decidedly upbeat through the first three months of
2012. The U.S. economic recovery was progressing nicely amid unex-
pected strength in
manufacturing and
employment, the
European Central
Bank’s two long-
term refinancing
operations signaled
progress on the
eurozone debt
crisis, and China’s
economy seemed
to be cooling in an
orderly manner to
more sustainable
growth. Risk
aversion returned
in the spring,
however, as signs
of a weakening
global economy
sapped investor confidence. Much of Europe was mired in recession,
and election results in Greece and France revealed widespread dis-
content over fiscal austerity measures. Mixed economic data in the
U.S., including persistently high unemployment, indicated that the
previously resilient recovery was starting to falter, and the Chinese
economic slowdown was sharper than expected.
Investor sentiment rose again over the summer as central banks
around the world took action to stimulate economic growth and
suppress interest rates. In July, the European Central Bank pledged

Developed Market Performance

persisted over the year’s closing months amid stabilization in the
eurozone, a continuation of accommodative monetary policies from
the world’s central banks, and incremental improvements in key
emerging economies.
Government bonds in developed non-U.S. markets generated modest
gains for the year in U.S. dollars, helped by the performance of
European bonds and by a weaker dollar versus most developed
markets currencies. Japanese bonds, however, declined in value as
an expansion of the Bank of Japan’s asset purchase program helped
to weaken the yen. Late
in the year, Japan’s new
prime minister pressured
the central bank to agree
to a higher inflation target
and to implement a policy
of unlimited monetary
easing to stimulate the
economy and weaken
the currency.
Faced with low nominal
yields and, in many
cases, negative real yields
(nominal yields adjusted
for inflation) on bonds in
many developed markets, investors increasingly turned to the attractive
yields available in emerging markets debt. In addition, money flows
into the asset class continue to benefit from a long-term, structural
transition as investors diversify their portfolios into the expanding
emerging debt market. Emerging markets debt significantly outpaced
bonds in the U.S. and other developed markets for the year. U.S.
dollar-denominated debt marginally outperformed bonds denominated
in local currencies, and emerging markets corporate debt lagged with
smaller, though still strong, gains.

these currencies strengthened against the U.S. dollar. An underweight
allocation to the Japanese yen throughout the year also helped perfor-
mance versus the benchmark as the currency weakened significantly
toward the end of the
year. Underweight alloca-
tions to the British pound
and the Australian dollar
proved to be a slight drag
on performance as these
currencies unexpectedly
strengthened against
the U.S. dollar. Except
for an overweight to
the Norwegian krone,
we maintain underweight allocations to most developed market
currencies in favor of emerging markets currencies. Within emerging
markets currencies, we decreased our non-benchmark exposure to the
Indian rupee and have
overweight allocations to
the South Korean won
and the Russian ruble.
Country selection and
duration positioning
also benefited the fund’s
annual results versus
its benchmark. Bonds
denominated in local
currencies were strong
contributors as lower
inflation, stimulative
monetary policies, credit
quality upgrades, and
large investor inflows
supported returns. Local
currency bonds from
Mexico, Brazil, South
Africa, and Poland were
notable contributors. Cautious underweight positioning in peripheral
European sovereign debt in the early part of the year detracted from
annual results, particularly in the first quarter as the European Central

Bank’s long-term refinancing operations resulted in lower yields and
higher prices for bonds in these markets. As a result of stabilization in
the eurozone crisis, we brought our exposure to peripheral European
debt in line with the benchmark during the third quarter, bringing our
positioning in Europe to neutral versus the benchmark. We still see the
current low nominal yields in developed markets and in some cases,
negative real yields, as being overly rich. As a result, we generally have
underweight allocations within developed markets bonds and prefer
exposure to the more appealing valuations in developing markets.
Exposure to below investment-grade bonds, which are not included
in our benchmark, helped results. U.S. dollar-denominated emerging
markets corporate bonds provided the largest single contributor to
returns over the year, as risk assets saw steady, strong demand from
yield-hungry investors. European high yield bonds also performed
well in 2012. We maintained our allocation to European high yield
bonds and slightly reduced our exposure to U.S. dollar-denominated
emerging markets corporate bonds.
Overall sector and security selection was positive for the year. A
focus on investment-grade European corporate bonds generated very
robust returns, while off-benchmark exposure to investment-grade

quasi-sovereign debt also added to returns. Our overweight allocation
to European investment-grade corporate debt held steady, and we
modestly reduced our exposure to investment-grade emerging markets
sovereign and quasi-sovereign bonds.
OUTLOOk
Market volatility decreased markedly in the closing months of 2012,
and we expect this to remain the case for the next few months. Several
factors are contributing to this relative calm in markets, including
the stabilization of European economic data, a politically favorable
leadership transition in Japan, a partial resolution of
the U.S. fiscal cliff challenge, and better-than-expected
data from China. These improvements should continue
to drive down bond yields in the higher-yielding
peripheral regions of Europe.
We expect that a continuation of loose monetary
policy by the Federal Reserve should keep the dollar
weak to the benefit of non-U.S. dollar currencies. The
potential for inflationary policies by the newly elected
government in Japan has already weakened the yen,
and we anticipate that any further weakening will be at
a slower pace. Emerging markets currencies continue
to benefit from healthy inflows from foreign investors
seeking better growth prospects and higher yields.
In the absence of significant negative news, European
corporate bonds across the investment- and sub-
investment-grade spectrum should continue to see
yields drifting down, and the yield spread relative to
high-quality government bonds is likely to narrow. Below investment-
grade corporate bonds in emerging markets offer a good level of
interest with the potential for steady price appreciation as demand for
higher-yielding assets remains high.

Risk of International Bond Investing
Funds that invest overseas generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S.
assets, including unpredictable changes in currency values. Investments in emerging
markets are subject to abrupt and severe price declines and should be regarded as
speculative. The economic and political structures of developing nations, in most cases,
do not compare favorably with the U.S. or other developed countries in terms of wealth
and stability, and their financial markets often lack liquidity. Some countries also have
legacies of hyperinflation, currency devaluations, and governmental interference
in markets.
International investments are subject to currency risk, a decline in the value of a
foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities
denominated in that currency. The overall impact on a fund’s holdings can be significant
and long-lasting depending on the currencies represented in the portfolio, how each one
appreciates or depreciates in relation to the U.S. dollar, and whether currency positions
are hedged. Further, exchange rate movements are unpredictable, and it is not possible
to effectively hedge the currency risks of many developing countries.
Bonds are also subject to interest rate risk, the decline in bond prices that usually
accompanies a rise in interest rates, and credit risk, the chance that any fund holding
could have its credit rating downgraded or that a bond issuer will default (fail to make
timely payments of interest or principal), potentially reducing the fund’s income level
and share price.

The expense ratio shown is as of the fund’s fiscal year ended 12/31/11. This number
may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on
a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers.
Expense Ratio
Fund Expense Example
As a mutual fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such
as redemption fees or sales loads, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees,
distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following example is
intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund
and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The
example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the most recent
six-month period and held for the entire period.
Please note that the International Bond Fund has two share classes: The original share class
(Investor Class) charges no distribution and service (12b-1) fee, and the Advisor Class shares
are offered only through unaffiliated brokers and other financial intermediaries and charge a
0.25% 12b-1 fee. Each share class is presented separately in the table.
actual Expenses
The first line of the following table (Actual) provides information about actual account values
and expenses based on the fund’s actual returns. You may use the information on this line,
together with your account balance, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided
by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under the heading
“Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during
this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information on the second line of the table (hypothetical) is based on hypothetical
account values and expenses derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed
5% per year rate of return before expenses (not the fund’s actual return). You may compare
the ongoing costs of investing in the fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypothetical
example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the
other funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the
actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
Fund Expense Example (continued)
Note: T. Rowe Price charges an annual account service fee of $20, generally for accounts with
less than $10,000. The fee is waived for any investor whose T. Rowe Price mutual fund
accounts total $50,000 or more; accounts electing to receive electronic delivery of account
statements, transaction confirmations, prospectuses, and shareholder reports; or accounts
of an investor who is a T. Rowe Price Preferred Services, Personal Services, or Enhanced
Personal Services client (enrollment in these programs generally requires T. Rowe Price
assets of at least $100,000). This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are
subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of
investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.
You should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing
costs and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees or sales loads.
Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not
help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. To the extent a fund
charges transaction costs, however, the total cost of owning that fund is higher.

multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of
days in the most recent fiscal half year (184), and divided by the days in the year (366)
to reflect the half-year period. The annualized expense ratio of the Investor Class was
0.83%, and the Advisor Class was 1.09%.

Notes to Financial Statements
T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc. (the corporation), is registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). The International Bond
Fund (the fund) is a nondiversified, open-end management investment company
established by the corporation. The fund seeks to provide high current income
and capital appreciation by investing primarily in high-quality, nondollar-
denominated bonds outside the U.S. The fund has two classes of shares: the
International Bond Fund original share class, referred to in this report as the
Investor Class, offered since September 10, 1986, and the International Bond
Fund–Advisor Class (Advisor Class), offered since March 31, 2000. Advisor
Class shares are sold only through unaffiliated brokers and other unaffiliated
financial intermediaries that are compensated by the class for distribution, share-
holder servicing, and/or certain administrative services under a Board-approved
Rule 12b-1 plan. Each class has exclusive voting rights on matters related solely
to that class; separate voting rights on matters that relate to both classes; and, in
all other respects, the same rights and obligations as the other class.
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICaNT aCCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation The accompanying financial statements were prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (GAAP), which require the use of estimates made by management.
Management believes that estimates and valuations are appropriate; however,
actual results may differ from those estimates, and the valuations reflected in
the accompanying financial statements may differ from the value ultimately
realized upon sale or maturity.
Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Distributions Income and
expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on debt
securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes. Paydown gains and
losses are recorded as an adjustment to interest income. Inflation adjustments
to the principal amount of inflation-indexed bonds are reflected as interest
income. Dividends received from mutual fund investments are reflected as
dividend income; capital gain distributions are reflected as realized gain/loss.
Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-
dividend date. Income tax-related interest and penalties, if incurred, would
Proof #4
56
T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
be recorded as income tax expense. Investment transactions are accounted
for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified
cost basis. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income distributions are declared by each class daily and paid monthly. Capital
gain distributions, if any, are generally declared and paid by the fund annually.
Currency Translation Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated
in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the
prevailing exchange rate, using the mean of the bid and asked prices of such
currencies against U.S. dollars as quoted by a major bank. Purchases and
sales of securities, income, and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the
prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in
foreign currency exchange rates on realized and unrealized security gains and
losses is reflected as a component of security gains and losses.
Class accounting The Advisor Class pays distribution, shareholder servicing,
and/or certain administrative expenses in the form of Rule 12b-1 fees, in an
amount not exceeding 0.25% of the class’s average daily net assets. Shareholder
servicing, prospectus, and shareholder report expenses incurred by each class
are charged directly to the class to which they relate. Expenses common to
both classes and investment income are allocated to the classes based upon the
relative daily net assets of each class’s settled shares; realized and unrealized
gains and losses are allocated based upon the relative daily net assets of each
class’s outstanding shares.
Credits The fund earns credits on temporarily uninvested cash balances held at
the custodian, which reduce the fund’s custody charges. Custody expense in the
accompanying financial statements is presented before reduction for credits.
Redemption Fees A 2% fee is assessed on redemptions of fund shares held
for 90 days or less to deter short-term trading and to protect the interests of
long-term shareholders. Redemption fees are withheld from proceeds that
shareholders receive from the sale or exchange of fund shares. The fees are
paid to the fund and are recorded as an increase to paid-in capital. The fees
may cause the redemption price per share to differ from the net asset value
per share.
In-kind Redemptions In accordance with guidelines described in the fund’s
prospectus, the fund may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as
payment for a redemption of fund shares (in-kind redemption). For financial
Proof #4
57
T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
reporting purposes, the fund recognizes a gain on in-kind redemptions to the
extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds
the cost of those securities; the fund recognizes a loss if cost exceeds value.
Gains and losses realized on in-kind redemptions are not recognized for tax
purposes and are reclassified from undistributed realized gain (loss) to paid-in
capital. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the fund realized $750,000
of net loss on $10,784,000 of in-kind redemptions.
New accounting Pronouncements In December 2011, the FASB issued
amended guidance to enhance disclosure for offsetting assets and liabilities.
The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2013. Adoption will have no effect on the fund’s net assets or
results of operations.
NOTE 2 - vaLUaTION
The fund’s financial instruments are reported at fair value as defined by GAAP.
The fund determines the values of its assets and liabilities and computes each
class’s net asset value per share at the close of the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day that the NYSE is open for business.
valuation Methods Debt securities are generally traded in the over-the-counter
(OTC) market. Securities with remaining maturities of one year or more at the
time of acquisition are valued at prices furnished by dealers who make markets
in such securities or by an independent pricing service, which considers the yield
or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type, as well as
prices quoted by dealers who make markets in such securities. Securities with
remaining maturities of less than one year at the time of acquisition generally use
amortized cost in local currency to approximate fair value. However, if amortized
cost is deemed not to reflect fair value or the fund holds a significant amount of
such securities with remaining maturities of more than 60 days, the securities are
valued at prices furnished by dealers who make markets in such securities or by
an independent pricing service.
Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund’s closing net asset
value per share on the day of valuation. Financial futures contracts are valued at
closing settlement prices. Forward currency exchange contracts are valued using
the prevailing forward exchange rate. Swaps are valued at prices furnished by
independent swap dealers or by an independent pricing service.
Proof #4
58
T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
Other investments, including restricted securities and private placements,
and those financial instruments for which the above valuation procedures
are inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value, are stated at fair
value as determined in good faith by the T. Rowe Price Valuation Committee,
established by the fund’s Board of Directors (the Board). Subject to oversight
by the Board, the Valuation Committee develops pricing-related policies
and procedures and approves all fair-value determinations. The Valuation
Committee regularly makes good faith judgments, using a wide variety of
sources and information, to establish and adjust valuations of certain securities
as events occur and circumstances warrant. For instance, in determining the
fair value of private-equity instruments, the Valuation Committee considers
a variety of factors, including the company’s business prospects, its financial
performance, strategic events impacting the company, relevant valuations of
similar companies, new rounds of financing, and any negotiated transactions of
significant size between other investors in the company. Because any fair-value
determination involves a significant amount of judgment, there is a degree of
subjectivity inherent in such pricing decisions.
valuation Inputs Various inputs are used to determine the value of the fund’s
financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels
listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments
Level 2 – observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices (including, but
not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk)
Level 3 – unobservable inputs
Observable inputs are those based on market data obtained from sources inde-
pendent of the fund, and unobservable inputs reflect the fund’s own assumptions
based on the best information available. The input levels are not necessarily an

indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that

NOTE 3 - DERIvaTIvE INSTRUMENTS
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the fund invested in derivative
instruments. As defined by GAAP, a derivative is a financial instrument
whose value is derived from an underlying security price, foreign exchange
rate, interest rate, index of prices or rates, or other variable; it requires little
or no initial investment and permits or requires net settlement. The fund
invests in derivatives only if the expected risks and rewards are consistent
with its investment objectives, policies, and overall risk profile, as described
Proof #4
60
T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
in its prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The fund may use
derivatives for a variety of purposes, such as seeking to hedge against declines
in principal value, increase yield, invest in an asset with greater efficiency and
at a lower cost than is possible through direct investment, or to adjust portfolio
duration and credit exposure. The risks associated with the use of derivatives
are different from, and potentially much greater than, the risks associated
with investing directly in the instruments on which the derivatives are based.
Investments in derivatives can magnify returns positively or negatively; however,
the fund at all times maintains sufficient cash reserves, liquid assets, or other
SEC-permitted asset types to cover the settlement obligations under its open
derivative contracts.
The fund values its derivatives at fair value, as described below and in Note 2,
and recognizes changes in fair value currently in its results of operations.
Accordingly, the fund does not follow hedge accounting, even for deriva-
tives employed as economic hedges. The fund does not offset the fair value
of derivative instruments against the right to reclaim or obligation to return
collateral. The following table summarizes the fair value of the fund’s deriva-
tive instruments held as of December 31, 2012, and the related location on
the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities, presented by primary
underlying risk exposure:

Forward Currency Exchange Contracts The fund is subject to foreign currency
exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives.
It uses forward currency exchange contracts (forwards) primarily to protect
its non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities from adverse currency movements
and to gain exposure to currencies for the purposes of risk management or
enhanced return. A forward involves an obligation to purchase or sell a fixed
amount of a specific currency on a future date at a price set at the time of the
contract. Although certain forwards may be settled by exchanging only the
net gain or loss on the contract, most forwards are settled with the exchange
of the underlying currencies in accordance with the specified terms. Forwards
are valued at the unrealized gain or loss on the contract, which reflects the
net amount the fund either is entitled to receive or obligated to deliver, as
measured by the difference between the forward exchange rates at the date of
entry into the contract and the forward rates at the reporting date. Appreciated
forwards are reflected as assets, and depreciated forwards are reflected as
Proof #4
62
T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
liabilities on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Risks related
to the use of forwards include the possible failure of counterparties to meet the
terms of the agreements; that anticipated currency movements will not occur,
thereby reducing the fund’s total return; and the potential for losses in excess
of the fund’s initial investment. During the year ended December 31, 2012,
the fund’s exposure to forwards, based on underlying notional amounts, was
generally between 28% and 35% of net assets.
Futures Contracts The fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal
course of pursuing its investment objectives and uses futures contracts to
help manage such risk. The fund may enter into futures contracts to manage
exposure to interest rate and yield curve movements, security prices, foreign
currencies, credit quality, and mortgage prepayments; as an efficient means
of adjusting exposure to all or part of a target market; to enhance income;
as a cash management tool; and/or to adjust portfolio duration and credit
exposure. A futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and
purchase by another of a specified amount of a particular underlying financial
instrument at an agreed-upon price, date, time, and place. The fund currently
invests only in exchange-traded futures, which generally are standardized as
to maturity date, underlying financial instrument, and other contract terms.
The fund is required to deposit collateral with the broker in the form of cash
or securities in an amount sufficient to cause the value of its account to equal
a specified percentage of the aggregate value of the fund’s futures contracts
with that broker (margin requirement). The margin requirement must then be
maintained at the established level over the life of the contract and is restricted
from withdrawal by the fund; however, any amounts in excess of the margin
requirement may be withdrawn at the fund’s election. Fluctuations in the value
of a futures contract reflect changes in the value of the underlying financial
instrument and are recorded as unrealized gain or loss until the contract is
closed. The value of a futures contract included in net assets is the cumulative
amount of unrealized gain or loss; appreciated contracts are reflected as assets
and depreciated contracts are reflected as liabilities on the accompanying
Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, cash and currencies held by the
broker are reflected as deposits on futures contracts. Risks related to the use
of futures contracts include possible illiquidity of the futures markets, contract
prices that can be highly volatile and imperfectly correlated to movements in
hedged security values and/or interest rates, and potential losses in excess of the
fund’s initial investment. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the fund’s
exposure to futures, based on underlying notional amounts, was generally
between 3% and 5% of net assets.
Proof #4
63
T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
Swaps The fund is subject to interest rate risk, and credit risk in the normal
course of pursuing its investment objectives and uses swap contracts to help
manage such risks. The fund may use swaps in an effort to manage exposure
to changes in interest rates, inflation rates, and credit quality; to adjust overall
exposure to certain markets; to enhance total return or protect the value of
portfolio securities; to serve as a cash management tool; and/or to adjust port-
folio duration and credit exposure. The value of a swap included in net assets
is the unrealized gain or loss on the contract plus or minus any unamortized
premiums paid or received, respectively. Appreciated swaps and premiums
paid are reflected as assets, and depreciated swaps and premiums received are
reflected as liabilities on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Net periodic receipts or payments required by swaps are accrued daily and
are recorded as realized gain or loss for financial reporting purposes when
settled; fluctuations in the fair value of swaps are reflected in the change in
net unrealized gain or loss and are reclassified to realized gain or loss upon
termination prior to maturity or cash settlement.
Interest rate swaps are agreements to exchange cash flows based on the
difference between specified interest rates applied to a notional principal
amount for a specified period of time. Risks related to the use of interest rate
swaps include the potential for unanticipated movements in interest and/or
currency rates, the possible failure of a counterparty to perform in accordance
with the terms of the swap agreements, potential government regulation that
could adversely affect the fund’s swap investments, and potential losses in
excess of the fund’s initial investment.
Credit default swaps are agreements where one party (the protection buyer)
agrees to make periodic payments to another party (the protection seller) in
exchange for protection against specified credit events, such as certain defaults
and bankruptcies related to an underlying credit instrument, or issuer or index
of such instruments. Upon occurrence of a specified credit event, the protection
seller is required to pay the buyer the difference between the notional amount
of the swap and the value of the underlying credit, either in the form of a net
cash settlement or by paying the gross notional amount and accepting delivery
of the relevant underlying credit. For credit default swaps where the underlying
credit is an index, a specified credit event may affect all or individual underlying
securities included in the index and will be settled based upon the relative
weighting of the affected underlying security(s) within the index. Risks related
to the use of credit default swaps include the possible inability of the fund to
accurately assess the current and future creditworthiness of underlying issuers,
the possible failure of a counterparty to perform in accordance with the terms

of the swap agreements, potential government regulation that could adversely
affect the fund’s swap investments, and potential losses in excess of the fund’s
initial investment. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the fund’s
exposure to swaps, based on underlying notional amounts, was generally less
than 1% of net assets.
NOTE 4 - OTHER INvESTMENT TRaNSaCTIONS
Consistent with its investment objective, the fund engages in the following
practices to manage exposure to certain risks and/or to enhance performance.
The investment objective, policies, program, and risk factors of the fund
are described more fully in the fund’s prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information.
Emerging Markets At December 31, 2012, approximately 19% of the fund’s
net assets were invested, either directly or through investments in T. Rowe
Price institutional funds, in securities of companies located in emerging
markets, securities issued by governments of emerging market countries,
and/or securities denominated in or linked to the currencies of emerging
market countries. Emerging market securities are often subject to greater price
volatility, less liquidity, and higher rates of inflation than U.S. securities. In
addition, emerging markets may be subject to greater political, economic, and
social uncertainty, and differing regulatory environments that may potentially
impact the fund’s ability to buy or sell certain securities or repatriate proceeds
to U.S. dollars.
Restricted Securities The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or
contractual restrictions on resale. Prompt sale of such securities at an acceptable
price may be difficult and may involve substantial delays and additional costs.
Counterparty Risk and Collateral The fund has entered into collateral agree-
ments with certain counterparties to mitigate counterparty risk associated with
certain over-the-counter (OTC) financial instruments, including swaps, forward
currency exchange contracts, TBA purchase commitments, and OTC options
(collectively, covered OTC instruments). Subject to certain minimum exposure
requirements (which typically range from $100,000 to $500,000), collateral
requirements generally are determined and transfers made based on the net
aggregate unrealized gain or loss on all OTC instruments covered by a particular
collateral agreement with a specified counterparty. At any point in time, the
fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on covered OTC instruments
is the aggregate unrealized gain on appreciated covered OTC instruments in
Proof #4
65
T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
excess of collateral, if any, pledged by the counterparty to the fund. Further, in
accordance with the terms of the relevant agreements, counterparties to certain
OTC instruments may be able to terminate the contracts prior to maturity upon
the occurrence of certain stated events, such as a decline in net assets above a
certain percentage or a failure by the fund to perform its obligations under the
contract. Upon termination, all transactions would typically be liquidated and a
net amount would be owed by or payable to the fund.
Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded futures and options contracts
is minimal because the exchange’s clearinghouse provides protection against
counterparty defaults. Generally, for exchange-traded derivatives such as
futures and options, each broker, in its sole discretion, may change margin
requirements applicable to the fund.
Collateral can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S.
government or related agencies. For OTC instruments, collateral both pledged
by the fund to a counterparty and pledged by a counterparty to the fund,
is held in a segregated account by a third-party agent. For exchange-traded
instruments, margin posted by the fund is held by the broker. Cash posted by
the fund as collateral or to meet margin requirements is reflected as restricted
cash in the accompanying financial statements and securities posted by the fund
are so noted in the accompanying Portfolio of Investments; both remain in the
fund’s assets. Collateral pledged by counterparties is not included in the fund’s
assets because the fund does not obtain effective control over those assets. As of
December 31, 2012, securities valued at $34,234,000 had been posted by the
fund to counterparties for covered OTC instruments. As of December 31, 2012,
collateral pledged by counterparties to the fund for covered OTC instruments
consisted of securities valued at $11,219,000. As of December 31, 2012,
cash of $1,628,000 had been posted by the fund to the broker for exchange-
traded derivatives.
Other Purchases and sales of portfolio securities other than short-term securities
aggregated $2,531,980,000 and $2,775,617,000, respectively, for the year
ended December 31, 2012.
NOTE 5 - FEDERaL INCOME TaxES
No provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to
continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M
of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its taxable
income and gains. Distributions determined in accordance with federal income
Proof #4
66
T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income
and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records
are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character but are
not adjusted for temporary differences.
The fund files U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The fund’s
tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until
expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three
years after the filing of the tax return but which can be extended to six years
in certain circumstances. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no
uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.
Reclassifications to paid-in capital relate primarily to redemptions in kind.
Reclassifications between income and gain relate primarily to per-share rounding
of distributions. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the following reclassifi-
cations were recorded to reflect tax character (there was no impact on results of
operations or net assets):
Undistributed net investment income $ 45
Undistributed net realized gain 756
Paid-in capital (801)
($000s)
Distributions during the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31,
2011, totaled $117,761,000 and $246,488,000, respectively, and were
characterized as ordinary income for tax purposes. At December 31, 2012,
the tax-basis cost of investments and components of net assets were as follows:
Cost of investments $ 5,027,675
Unrealized appreciation $ 296,508
Unrealized depreciation (95,227)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) 201,281
Undistributed long-term capital gain 15,027
Late-year ordinary loss deferrals (29,598)
Paid-in capital 5,068,136
Net assets $ 5,254,846
($000s)
Proof #4
67
T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) is attributable to the deferral of losses from wash sales and
certain derivative contracts, and the realization of gains/losses on certain open
derivative contracts for tax purposes. The fund intends to retain realized gains
to the extent of available capital loss carryforwards. Net realized capital losses
may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future realized capital gains.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the fund utilized $28,378,000
of capital loss carryforwards. In accordance with federal tax laws applicable
to investment companies, specified net losses realized between November 1
and December 31, are not recognized for tax purposes until the subsequent
year (late-year ordinary loss deferrals); however, such losses are recognized
for financial reporting purposes in the year realized.
NOTE 6 - RELaTED PaRTY TRaNSaCTIONS
The fund is managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Price Associates), a
wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (Price Group). Price
Associates has entered into a subadvisory agreement with T. Rowe Price
International Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Price Associates, to provide
investment advisory services to the fund; the subadvisory agreement provides
that Price Associates may pay the subadvisor up to 60% of the management
fee that Price Associates receives from the fund. The investment management
agreement between the fund and Price Associates provides for an annual
investment management fee, which is computed daily and paid monthly. The
fee consists of an individual fund fee, equal to 0.35% of the fund’s average
daily net assets, and a group fee. The group fee rate is calculated based on the
combined net assets of certain mutual funds sponsored by Price Associates (the
group) applied to a graduated fee schedule, with rates ranging from 0.48% for
the first $1 billion of assets to 0.28% for assets in excess of $300 billion. The
fund’s group fee is determined by applying the group fee rate to the fund’s
average daily net assets. At December 31, 2012, the effective annual group fee
rate was 0.30%.
In addition, the fund has entered into service agreements with Price Associates
and two wholly owned subsidiaries of Price Associates (collectively, Price).
Price Associates computes the daily share prices and provides certain other
administrative services to the fund. T. Rowe Price Services, Inc., provides
shareholder and administrative services in its capacity as the fund’s transfer
Proof #4

T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
and dividend disbursing agent. T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc.,
provides subaccounting and recordkeeping services for certain retirement
accounts invested in the Investor Class. For the year ended December 31,
2012, expenses incurred pursuant to these service agreements were $173,000
for Price Associates; $793,000 for T. Rowe Price Services, Inc.; and $54,000
for T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. The total amount payable at
period-end pursuant to these service agreements is reflected as Due to Affiliates
in the accompanying financial statements.
The fund is also one of several mutual funds sponsored by Price Associates
(underlying Price funds) in which the T. Rowe Price Spectrum Funds
(Spectrum Funds) and T. Rowe Price Retirement Funds (Retirement Funds)
may invest. Neither the Spectrum Funds nor the Retirement Funds invest
in the underlying Price funds for the purpose of exercising management or
control. Pursuant to separate special servicing agreements, expenses associated
with the operation of the Spectrum and Retirement Funds are borne by each
underlying Price fund to the extent of estimated savings to it and in proportion
to the average daily value of its shares owned by the Spectrum and Retirement
Funds, respectively. Expenses allocated under these agreements are reflected
as shareholder servicing expenses in the accompanying financial statements.
For the year ended December 31, 2012, the fund was allocated $981,000 of
Spectrum Funds’ expenses and $2,227,000 of Retirement Funds’ expenses.
Of these amounts, $1,919,000 related to services provided by Price. The
amount payable at period-end pursuant to this agreement is reflected as Due
to Affiliates in the accompanying financial statements. At December 31, 2012,
approximately 15% of the outstanding shares of the Investor Class were held by
the Spectrum Funds and 29% were held by the Retirement Funds.
The fund may invest in the T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Fund and the
T. Rowe Price Government Reserve Investment Fund (collectively, the T. Rowe
Price Reserve Investment Funds), open-end management investment companies
managed by Price Associates and considered affiliates of the fund. The T. Rowe
Price Reserve Investment Funds are offered as cash management options
to mutual funds, trusts, and other accounts managed by Price Associates
and/or its affiliates and are not available for direct purchase by members of
the public. The T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Funds pay no investment
management fees.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc. and
Shareholders of T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
(one of the portfolios comprising T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc.,
hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2012, and the results
of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for
each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements
and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the
responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which
included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2012 by correspondence
with the custodian and brokers, and confirmation of the underlying funds
by correspondence with the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

Mutual fund shares are not deposits

any depository institution. Shares are
not insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, Federal
Reserve, or any other government
agency, and are subject to
investment risks, including possible
loss of the principal amount invested.
SUMMARY
T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Bond Fund
Investment Objective
The fund seeks to provide high income and capital appreciation.
Fees and Expenses
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold
shares of the fund.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
Shareholder fees (fees paid directly from your investment)
Maximum sales charge (load) imposed on
purchases NONE
Maximum deferred sales charge (load) NONE
Redemption fee (as a percentage of amount
redeemed on shares held for 90 days or less) 2.00%
Maximum account fee $20
a
Annual fund operating expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a
percentage of the value of your investment)
Management fees 0.75%
Distribution and service (12b-1) fees 0.00%
Other expenses 0.19%
Total annual fund operating expenses 0.94%
a Subject to certain exceptions, accounts with a balance of less than $10,000 are charged an annual $20 fee.
Example This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the
fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you
invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your
shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment
has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your
costs would be:
1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years
$96 $300 $520 $1,155
Portfolio Turnover The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it
buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover
rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual
fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the
T. ROWE PRICE 2
most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 40.7% of the average
value of its portfolio.
Investments, Risks, and Performance
Principal Investment Strategies The fund will normally invest at least 80% (and
potentially all) of its net assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) in
debt securities of emerging market governments or companies located in emerging
market countries. Fund holdings may be denominated in U.S. dollars or non-U.S.
dollar currencies, including emerging market currencies. The extent, if any, to which
the fund attempts to cushion the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on the dollar
depends on market conditions. Fund holdings may include the lowest-rated bonds,
including those in default, and there are no overall limits on the fund’s investments
that are rated below investment-grade (BB or lower, or an equivalent rating), also
known as “junk” bonds).
Although the fund expects to maintain an intermediate- to long-term weighted
average maturity, there are no maturity restrictions on the overall portfolio or on
individual securities. Security selection relies heavily on research, which analyzes
political and economic trends as well as creditworthiness. The fund tends to favor
bonds it expects will be upgraded. The fund sells holdings for a variety of reasons,
such as to adjust its average maturity or credit quality, to shift assets into and out of
higher-yielding securities, or to alter geographic or currency exposure.
The fund is “nondiversified,” meaning it may invest a greater portion of its assets in
fewer issuers than is permissible for a “diversified” fund.
While most assets will be invested in bonds, the fund may enter into forward
currency exchange contracts in keeping with the fund’s objectives. Forward currency
exchange contracts would primarily be used to help protect the fund’s holdings from
unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, although other currency
hedging techniques may be used from time to time.
Principal Risks As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the fund will
achieve its objective. The fund’s share price fluctuates, which means you could lose
money by investing in the fund. The principal risks of investing in this fund are
summarized as follows:
Active management risk The fund is subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s
judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the fund’s
investments may prove to be incorrect. If the securities selected and strategies
employed by the fund fail to produce the intended results, the fund could
underperform other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies.
International investing risk Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involves
special risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities. International
securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities
and may lose value because of adverse political, social, or economic developments
SUMMARY 3
overseas. In addition, international investments may be subject to regulatory and
accounting standards that differ from those of the U.S.
Emerging markets risk The risks of international investing are heightened for
securities of issuers in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries tend to
have economic structures that are less diverse and mature, and political systems that
are less stable, than those of developed countries. In addition to all of the risks of
investing in international developed markets, emerging markets are more susceptible
to governmental interference, local taxes being imposed on international investments,
restrictions on gaining access to sales proceeds, and less liquid and efficient trading
markets.
Currency risk Because the fund may invest in securities issued in foreign currencies,
the fund is subject to the risk that it could experience losses based solely on the
weakness of foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar and changes in the exchange
rates between such currencies and the U.S. dollar. Any attempts at currency hedging
may not be successful and could cause the fund to lose money.
Credit risk This is the risk that an issuer of a debt security could suffer an adverse
change in financial condition that results in a payment default, security downgrade,
or inability to meet a financial obligation. The risk of default is much greater for
emerging market bonds and securities rated as below investment-grade (“junk”
bonds). The fund is exposed to greater credit risk than other bond funds because
companies and governments in emerging markets are usually not as strong financially
and are more susceptible to economic downturns. Junk bonds should be considered
speculative as they carry greater risks of default and erratic price swings due to real or
perceived changes in the credit quality of the issuer.
Interest rate risk This risk refers to the chance that interest rates will increase,
causing a decline in bond prices. (Bond prices and interest rates usually move in
opposite directions.) Generally, securities with longer maturities and funds with
longer weighted average maturities carry greater interest rate risk.
Liquidity risk This is the risk that the fund may not be able to sell a holding in a
timely manner at a desired price.
Nondiversification risk As a nondiversified fund, the fund has the ability to invest a
larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a
diversified fund. As a result, poor performance by a single issuer could adversely
affect fund performance more than if the fund were invested in a larger number of
issuers. The fund’s share price can be expected to fluctuate more than that of a
comparable diversified fund.
Derivatives risk To the extent the fund uses forward currency exchange contracts, it
is exposed to greater volatility and losses in comparison to investing directly in
foreign bonds. Forward currency exchange contracts are also subject to the risks that
anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted, a counterparty will
T. ROWE PRICE 4
fail to perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement, and the chance that
potential government regulation could negatively affect the fund’s investments in
such instruments.
Performance The bar chart showing calendar year returns and the average annual

b
a Subject to certain exceptions, accounts with a balance of less than $10,000 are charged an annual $20 fee.
b T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. has agreed (through April 30, 2015) to waive its fees and/or bear any expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, brokerage, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees) that would cause the
fund’s ratio of expenses to average daily net assets to exceed 1.15%. Termination of the agreement would require
approval by the fund’s Board of Directors. Fees waived and expenses paid under this agreement are subject to
reimbursement to T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. by the fund whenever the fund’s expense ratio is below 1.15%.
However, no reimbursement will be made more than three years after the waiver or payment, or if it would result in
the expense ratio exceeding 1.15% (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage, extraordinary expenses, and acquired
fund fees).
Example This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the
fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you
invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your
shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment
T. ROWE PRICE 8
has a 5% return each year, the fund’s operating expenses remain the same, and the
expense limitation currently in place is not renewed. Although your actual costs may
be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years
$117 $495 $1,027 $2,486
Portfolio Turnover The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it
buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover
rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual
fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. For the
period of May 24, 2012, through December 31, 2012, the fund’s portfolio turnover
rate was 26.5% of the average value of its portfolio.
Investments, Risks, and Performance
Principal Investment Strategies The fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net
assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) in bonds that are issued
by companies that are located or listed in, or conduct the predominant part of their
business activities in, the emerging market countries of Latin America, Asia, Europe,
Africa, and the Middle East.
While it is expected that the securities held by the fund will primarily be U.S. dollar-
denominated, the fund may also hold securities denominated in emerging market
currencies and other non-U.S. currencies. The fund does not generally attempt to
cushion the impact of non-U.S. currency fluctuations against the U.S. dollar.
Although the fund expects to generally maintain an intermediate-term weighted
average maturity (between three and ten years), there are no maturity restrictions on
the overall portfolio or on individual securities purchased by the fund.
Most of the fund’s investments are expected to be rated below investment-grade (BB
or lower, or an equivalent rating) by a major credit rating agency or by T. Rowe Price.
However, the fund may purchase bonds of any credit quality and there are no overall
limits on the fund’s holdings that are unrated or rated below investment-grade.
Investments in below investment-grade corporate bonds, also known as “junk”
bonds, should be considered speculative.
The fund may sell holdings for a variety of reasons, such as to alter geographic or
currency exposure, to adjust its average maturity, duration, or credit quality, or to
shift assets into or out of higher-yielding securities.
Principal Risks As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the fund will
achieve its objective. The fund’s share price fluctuates, which means you could lose
money by investing in the fund. The principal risks of investing in this fund are
summarized as follows:
SUMMARY 9
Active management risk The fund is subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s
judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the fund’s
investments may prove to be incorrect. If the securities selected and strategies
employed by the fund fail to produce the intended results, the fund could
underperform other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies.
International investing risk Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involves
special risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities. International
securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities
and may lose value because of adverse political, social, or economic developments
overseas. In addition, international investments may be subject to regulatory and
accounting standards that differ from those of the U.S.
Emerging markets risk The risks of international investing are heightened for
securities of issuers in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries tend to
have economic structures that are less diverse and mature, and political systems that
are less stable, than those of developed countries. In addition to all of the risks of
investing in international developed markets, emerging markets are more susceptible
to governmental interference, local taxes being imposed on international investments,
restrictions on gaining access to sales proceeds, and less liquid and efficient trading
markets.
Currency risk Although the fund primarily invests in U.S. dollar-denominated bonds
of emerging markets issuers, the fund may invest in securities issued in foreign
currencies and is therefore subject to the risk that it could experience losses based
solely on the weakness of those foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar and changes
in the exchange rates between such currencies and the U.S. dollar.
Credit risk This is the risk that an issuer of a debt security could suffer an adverse
change in financial condition that results in a payment default, security downgrade,
or inability to meet a financial obligation. The risk of default is much greater for
emerging market bonds and securities rated as below investment-grade (“junk”
bonds). The fund is exposed to greater credit risk than other bond funds because
companies and governments in emerging markets are usually not as strong financially
and are more susceptible to economic downturns. Junk bonds should be considered
speculative as they carry greater risks of default and erratic price swings due to real or
perceived changes in the credit quality of the issuer.
Interest rate risk This risk refers to the chance that interest rates will increase,
causing a decline in bond prices. (Bond prices and interest rates usually move in
opposite directions.) Generally, securities with longer maturities and funds with
longer weighted average maturities carry greater interest rate risk.
Liquidity risk This is the risk that the fund may not be able to sell a holding in a
timely manner at a desired price.

Portfolio Turnover The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it
buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover
rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual
fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the
most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 82.3% of the average
value of its portfolio.
Investments, Risks, and Performance
Principal Investment Strategies Under normal conditions, at least 80% of the fund’s
net assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) will be invested in
bonds that are denominated in emerging markets currencies, and in derivative
instruments that provide investment exposure to such securities. Emerging market
bonds include fixed rate and floating rate bonds that are issued by governments,
government agencies, and supranational organizations of, and corporate issuers
located in or conducting the predominant part of their business activities in, the
emerging market countries of Latin America, Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle
East.
Investment decisions are based on fundamental research as well as market factors,
such as yield and credit quality differences among bonds as well as supply and
demand trends and currency values. The fund generally invests in securities where
the combination of fixed-income returns and currency exchange rates appears
attractive or, if the currency trend is unfavorable, where we believe the currency risk
can be minimized through hedging. The fund may purchase bonds of any credit
quality and there are no overall limits on the fund’s investments in bonds that are
unrated or rated below investment-grade (also known as “junk” bonds). While the
fund expects normally to maintain a weighted average maturity of at least 3 years,
there are no maturity restrictions on the overall portfolio or on individual securities
purchased by the fund.
Through the use of currency derivative instruments such as forward currency
exchange contracts, currency swaps, foreign currency options, and currency futures,
the fund has wide flexibility to purchase and sell currencies independently of
whether the fund owns bonds in those currencies and to engage in currency hedging
transactions. The fund’s currency positions will vary with its outlook on the strength
or weakness of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currencies and the relative value
of various foreign currencies to one another. Currency hedging into the U.S. dollar is
permitted, but not required, and the fund will be heavily exposed to foreign
T. ROWE PRICE 14
currencies. The fund’s overall net short positions in currencies (including the U.S.
dollar) are limited to 10% of its net assets. A short position in a currency allows the
fund to sell a currency in excess of the value of its holdings denominated in that
currency or sell a currency even if it does not hold any assets denominated in the
currency. In addition, the fund may use interest rate swaps and futures in order to
take long or short positions with respect to its exposure to a particular country,
subject to the investment restrictions applicable to futures and swaps.
The fund is “nondiversified,” meaning it may invest a greater portion of its assets in
fewer issuers than is permissible for a “diversified” fund.
The fund may sell holdings for a variety of reasons, such as to alter geographic or
currency exposure, to adjust its average maturity, duration, or credit quality, or to
shift assets into or out of higher-yielding securities.
Principal Risks As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the fund will
achieve its objective. The fund’s share price fluctuates, which means you could lose
money by investing in the fund. The principal risks of investing in this fund are
summarized as follows:
Active management risk The fund is subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s
judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the fund’s
investments may prove to be incorrect. If the securities selected and strategies
employed by the fund fail to produce the intended results, the fund could
underperform other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies.
International investing risk Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involves

securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities
and may lose value because of adverse political, social, or economic developments
overseas. In addition, international investments may be subject to regulatory and
accounting standards that differ from those of the U.S.

have economic structures that are less diverse and mature, and political systems that
are less stable, than those of developed countries. In addition to all of the risks of
investing in international developed markets, emerging markets are more susceptible
to governmental interference, local taxes being imposed on international investments,
restrictions on gaining access to sales proceeds, and less liquid and efficient trading
markets.
Currency risk Because the fund’s emphasis is on investing in securities denominated
in the currencies of emerging market countries, the fund is subject to the significant
risk that it could experience losses based solely on the weakness of foreign currencies
versus the U.S. dollar and changes in the exchange rates between such currencies and
the U.S. dollar.
SUMMARY 15
Hedging risk The fund’s attempts at hedging and taking long and short positions in
currencies may not be successful and could cause the fund to lose money or fail to
get the benefit of a gain on a hedged position. If currency values and exchange rates
do not move in the anticipated direction, the fund could be in a worse position than
if it had not entered into such transactions.
Credit risk This is the risk that an issuer of a debt security could suffer an adverse
change in financial condition that results in a payment default, security downgrade,
or inability to meet a financial obligation. The risk of default is much greater for
emerging market bonds and securities rated as below investment-grade (“junk”
bonds). The fund is exposed to greater credit risk than other bond funds because
companies and governments in emerging markets are usually not as strong financially
and are more susceptible to economic downturns. Junk bonds should be considered
speculative as they carry greater risks of default and erratic price swings due to real or
perceived changes in the credit quality of the issuer.
Interest rate risk This risk refers to the chance that interest rates will increase,
causing a decline in bond prices. (Bond prices and interest rates usually move in
opposite directions.) Generally, securities with longer maturities and funds with
longer weighted average maturities carry greater interest rate risk. The monetary
policies of emerging markets countries tend to make the impact and likelihood of
local interest rate changes more difficult to predict.
Liquidity risk This is the risk that the fund may not be able to sell a holding in a
timely manner at a desired price.
Nondiversification risk As a nondiversified fund, the fund has the ability to invest a
larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a
diversified fund. As a result, poor performance by a single issuer could adversely
affect fund performance more than if the fund were invested in a larger number of
issuers. The fund’s share price can be expected to fluctuate more than that of a
comparable diversified fund.
Derivatives risk To the extent the fund uses forward currency exchange contracts,
swaps, options, or futures, it is exposed to additional volatility in comparison to
investing directly in bonds and other debt securities. These instruments can be
illiquid and difficult to value, may involve leverage so that small changes produce
disproportionate losses for the fund, and instruments not traded on an exchange are
subject to the risk that a counterparty to the transaction will fail to meet its
obligations under the derivatives contract. The fund’s principal use of derivatives
involves the risk that anticipated changes in currency values, currency exchange
rates, or interest rate movements will not be accurately predicted, which could
significantly harm the fund’s performance, and the chance that regulatory
developments could negatively affect the fund’s investments in such instruments.
Taking a short position in a particular currency could cause the fund to lose money if
the currency appreciates in value.

Example This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the
fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you
invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your
shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment
has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your
costs would be:
1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years

Portfolio Turnover The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it
buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover
rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual
T. ROWE PRICE 20
fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the
most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 52.2% of the average
value of its portfolio.
Investments, Risks, and Performance
Principal Investment Strategies Normally, the fund will invest at least 80% of its net
assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) in foreign bonds and 65%
of its net assets in foreign bonds that are rated within the three highest credit
categories (i.e., A- or equivalent, or better), as determined by at least one major credit
rating agency or, if unrated, deemed to be of comparable quality by T. Rowe Price. If
a bond is split-rated (i.e., assigned different ratings by different credit rating
agencies), the higher rating will be used. The fund may invest up to 20% of its total
assets in “junk” bonds that have received a below investment-grade rating (i.e., BB or
equivalent, or lower) from each of the rating agencies that has assigned a rating to the
bond (or, if unrated, deemed to be below investment-grade quality by T. Rowe
Price), including those in default or with the lowest rating. Up to 20% of total assets
may be invested in U.S. dollar-denominated foreign bonds, such as Brady bonds and
other emerging markets bonds.
Although the fund expects to maintain an intermediate- to long-term weighted
average maturity, there are no maturity restrictions on the overall portfolio or on
individual securities. The fund has wide flexibility to purchase and sell currencies
and engage in hedging transactions. However, we normally do not attempt to
cushion the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on the U.S. dollar. Therefore, the
fund is likely to be heavily exposed to the risk of bonds denominated in foreign
currencies.
Investment decisions are based on fundamental market factors, such as yield and
credit quality differences among bonds as well as supply and demand trends and
currency values. The fund generally invests in securities where the combination of
fixed-income returns and currency exchange rates appears attractive or, if the
currency trend is unfavorable, where we believe the currency risk can be minimized
through hedging. The fund sells holdings for a variety of reasons, such as to adjust
the portfolio’s average maturity or credit quality, to shift assets into and out of
higher-yielding securities, or to alter geographic or currency exposure.
The fund is “nondiversified,” meaning it may invest a greater portion of its assets in
fewer issuers than is permissible for a “diversified” fund.
While most assets will be invested in bonds, the fund may enter into forward
currency exchange contracts in keeping with the fund’s objectives. Forward currency
exchange contracts would primarily be used to help protect the fund’s holdings from
unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, although other currency
hedging techniques may be used from time to time.
SUMMARY 21
Principal Risks As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the fund will
achieve its objective. The fund’s share price fluctuates, which means you could lose
money by investing in the fund. The principal risks of investing in this fund are
summarized as follows:
Active management risk The fund is subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s
judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the fund’s
investments may prove to be incorrect. If the securities selected and strategies
employed by the fund fail to produce the intended results, the fund could
underperform other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies.
International investing risk Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involves
special risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities. International
securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities
and may lose value because of adverse political, social, or economic developments
overseas. In addition, international investments may be subject to regulatory and
accounting standards that differ from those of the U.S.
Emerging markets risk The risks of international investing are heightened for
securities of issuers in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries tend to
have economic structures that are less diverse and mature, and political systems that
are less stable, than those of developed countries. In addition to all of the risks of
investing in international developed markets, emerging markets are more susceptible
to governmental interference, local taxes being imposed on international investments,
restrictions on gaining access to sales proceeds, and less liquid and efficient trading
markets.
Currency risk Because the fund generally invests in securities issued in foreign
currencies, the fund is subject to the risk that it could experience losses based solely
on the weakness of foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar and changes in the
exchange rates between such currencies and the U.S. dollar. Any attempts at currency
hedging may not be successful and could cause the fund to lose money.
Credit risk This is the risk that an issuer of a debt security could suffer an adverse
change in financial condition that results in a payment default, security downgrade,
or inability to meet a financial obligation. The fund’s overall credit risk is increased to
the extent the fund invests in emerging markets bonds or bonds rated below
investment-grade. Such investments carry a higher risk of default and should be
considered speculative.
Interest rate risk This risk refers to the chance that interest rates will increase,
causing a decline in bond prices. (Bond prices and interest rates usually move in
opposite directions.) Generally, securities with longer maturities and funds with
longer weighted average maturities carry greater interest rate risk.
Liquidity risk This is the risk that the fund may not be able to sell a holding in a
timely manner at a desired price.
T. ROWE PRICE 22
Nondiversification risk As a nondiversified fund, the fund has the ability to invest a
larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a
diversified fund. As a result, poor performance by a single issuer could adversely
affect fund performance more than if the fund were invested in a larger number of
issuers. The fund’s share price can be expected to fluctuate more than that of a
comparable diversified fund.
Derivatives risk To the extent the fund uses forward currency exchange contracts, it
is exposed to greater volatility and losses in comparison to investing directly in
foreign bonds. Forward currency exchange contracts are also subject to the risks that
anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted, a counterparty will
fail to perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement, and the chance that
potential government regulation could negatively affect the fund’s investments in
such instruments.
Performance The bar chart showing calendar year returns and the average annual
total returns table indicate risk by illustrating how much returns can differ from one
year to the next and how fund performance compares with that of a comparable
market index. The fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily
an indication of future performance.
The fund can also experience short-term performance swings, as shown by the best
and worst calendar quarter returns during the years depicted.

You may purchase, redeem, or exchange shares of the fund on any day the New York
Stock Exchange is open for business by accessing your account online at
troweprice.com, by calling 1-800-225-5132, or by written request. If you hold shares
through a financial intermediary, you must purchase, redeem, and exchange shares
through your intermediary.
Tax Information
The fund declares dividends daily and pays them on the first business day of each
month. Any capital gains are declared and paid annually, usually in December.
Distributions by the fund, whether or not you reinvest these amounts in additional
fund shares, may be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains unless you invest
through a tax-deferred account. A redemption or exchange of fund shares may be
taxable.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase shares of the fund through a broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary (such as a bank), the fund and its related companies may pay the
intermediary for the sale of fund shares and related services. These payments may
create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary
and your salesperson to recommend the fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
INFORMATION ABOUT ACCOUNTS IN
T. ROWE PRICE FUNDS 2
As a T. Rowe Price shareholder, you will want to know about the following policies
and procedures that apply to the T. Rowe Price family of funds.
PRICING SH ARES AND RECEIVING SALE PROCEEDS
How and When Shares Are Priced
The share price, also called the “net asset value,” for the funds is calculated at the
close of the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4 p.m. ET) each day that the
exchange is open for business. To calculate the net asset value, the fund’s assets are
valued and totaled; liabilities are subtracted; and the balance, called net assets, is
divided by the number of shares outstanding. Market values are used to price
portfolio holdings for which market quotations are readily available. Market values
represent the prices at which securities actually trade or evaluations based on the
judgment of the fund’s pricing services. If a market value for a security is not
available or normal valuation procedures are deemed to be inappropriate, the fund
will make a good faith effort to assign a fair value to the security by taking into
account various factors that have been approved by the fund’s Board of
Directors/Trustees. This value may differ from the value the fund receives upon sale
of the securities. Amortized cost is used to price securities held by money funds and
certain other debt securities held by a fund. Investments in other mutual funds are
valued at the closing net asset value per share of the mutual fund on the day of
valuation.
Non-U.S. equity securities are valued on the basis of their most recent closing market
prices at 4 p.m. ET except under the circumstances described below. Most foreign
markets close before 4 p.m. ET. For securities primarily traded in the Far East, for
example, the most recent closing prices may be as much as 15 hours old at 4 p.m.
ET. If a fund determines that developments between the close of a foreign market
and the close of the New York Stock Exchange will, in its judgment, materially affect
the value of some or all of the fund’s securities, the fund will adjust the previous
closing prices to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities as of
4 p.m. ET. In deciding whether to make these adjustments, the fund reviews a variety
of factors, including developments in foreign markets, the performance of U.S.
securities markets, and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that
represent foreign securities and baskets of foreign securities. The fund may also fair
value certain securities or a group of securities in other situations—for example,
when a particular foreign market is closed but the fund is open. The fund uses
outside pricing services to provide it with closing market prices and information used
for adjusting those prices and to value most fixed income securities. The fund cannot
predict how often it will use closing prices and how often it will adjust those prices.
T. ROWE PRICE 26
As a means of evaluating its fair value process, the fund routinely compares closing
market prices, the next day’s opening prices in the same markets, and adjusted
prices. The fund also evaluates a variety of factors when assigning fair values to
private placements and other restricted securities. Other mutual funds may adjust the
prices of their securities by different amounts or assign different fair values than the
fair value that the fund assigns to the same security.
The various ways you can buy, sell, and exchange shares are explained at the end of this
prospectus and on the New Account form. These procedures may differ for institutional
and employer-sponsored retirement accounts or if you hold your account through an
intermediary.
How Your Purchase, Sale, or Exchange Price Is Determined
If your request is received by T. Rowe Price in correct form by the close of the New
York Stock Exchange (normally 4 p.m. ET), your transaction will be priced at that
business day’s net asset value. If your request is received by T. Rowe Price after the
close of the New York Stock Exchange, your transaction will be priced at the next
business day’s net asset value.
The funds generally do not accept orders that request a particular day or price for a
transaction or any other special conditions.
Fund shares may be purchased through various third-party intermediaries, including
banks, brokers, and investment advisers. Where authorized by a fund, orders will be
priced at the net asset value next computed after receipt by the intermediary. Contact
your intermediary for trade deadlines and the applicable policies for purchasing,
selling, or exchanging your shares, as well as initial and subsequent investment
minimums. The intermediary may charge a fee for its services.
When authorized by the fund, certain financial institutions or retirement plans
purchasing fund shares on behalf of customers or plan participants through T. Rowe
Price Financial Institution Services or T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services may
place a purchase order unaccompanied by payment. Payment for these shares must
be received by the time designated by the fund (not to exceed the period established
for settlement under applicable regulations). If payment is not received by this time,
the order may be canceled. The financial institution or retirement plan is responsible
for any costs or losses incurred by the fund or T. Rowe Price if payment is delayed or
not received.
Note: The time at which transactions and shares are priced and the time until which
orders are accepted may be changed in case of an emergency or if the New York
Stock Exchange closes at a time other than 4 p.m. ET. In the event of an emergency
closing, a fund’s shareholders will receive the next share price calculated by the fund.
There may be times when you are unable to contact us by telephone or access your
account online due to extreme market activity, the unavailability of the T. Rowe Price
website, or other circumstances. Should this occur, your order must still be placed
INFORMATION ABOUT ACCOUNTS IN T. ROWE PRICE FUNDS 27
and accepted by T. Rowe Price prior to the time the New York Stock Exchange closes
to be priced at that business day’s net asset value. Under certain conditions, a money
fund may accept and process purchase and redemption orders beyond the close of
the New York Stock Exchange on days that the New York Stock Exchange closes
early and does not reopen, and may accept orders on a business day that the New
York Stock Exchange is unexpectedly closed.
How You Can Receive the Proceeds From a Sale
When filling out the New Account form, you may wish to give yourself the widest range of
options for receiving proceeds from a sale.
If your request is received in correct form by T. Rowe Price on a business day prior to
the close of the New York Stock Exchange, proceeds are usually sent on the next
business day. Proceeds can be mailed to you by check or sent electronically to your
bank account by Automated Clearing House transfer or bank wire. Automated
Clearing House is an automated method of initiating payments from, and receiving
payments in, your financial institution account. Proceeds sent by Automated Clearing
House transfer are usually credited to your account the second business day after the
sale and there are typically no fees associated with such payments. Proceeds sent by
bank wire are usually credited to your account the next business day after the sale,
although your financial institution may charge an incoming wire fee.
Exception Under certain circumstances, and when deemed to be in a fund’s best
interest, your proceeds may not be sent for up to seven calendar days after we receive
your redemption request. Under certain limited circumstances, the Board of
Directors/Trustees of a money fund may elect to suspend redemptions and postpone
payment of redemption proceeds in order to facilitate an orderly liquidation of the
money fund.
If for some reason we cannot accept your request to sell shares, we will contact you.
Contingent Redemption Fee
Short-term trading can disrupt a fund’s investment program and create additional
costs for long-term shareholders. For these reasons, certain T. Rowe Price funds,
listed in the following table, assess a fee on redemptions (including exchanges out of
a fund), which reduces the proceeds from such redemptions by the amounts
indicated:

Redemption fees are paid to a fund to deter short-term trading, offset costs, and
protect the fund’s long-term shareholders. Subject to the exceptions described on the
following pages, all persons holding shares of a T. Rowe Price fund that imposes a
redemption fee are subject to the fee, whether the person is holding shares directly
with a T. Rowe Price fund; through a retirement plan for which T. Rowe Price serves
as recordkeeper; or indirectly through an intermediary (such as a broker, bank, or
INFORMATION ABOUT ACCOUNTS IN T. ROWE PRICE FUNDS 29
investment adviser), recordkeeper for retirement plan participants, or other third
party.
Computation of Holding Period
When an investor sells shares of a fund that assesses a redemption fee, T. Rowe Price
will use the “first-in, first-out” method to determine the holding period for the shares
sold. Under this method, the date of redemption or exchange will be compared with
the earliest purchase date of shares held in the account. The day after the date of your
purchase is considered Day 1 for purposes of computing the holding period. For a
fund with a 365-day holding period, a redemption fee will be charged on shares sold
before the end of the required holding period. For funds with a 90-day holding
period, a redemption fee will be charged on shares sold on or before the end of the
required holding period. For example, if you redeem your shares on or before the
90th day from the date of purchase, you will be assessed the redemption fee. If you
purchase shares through an intermediary, consult your intermediary to determine
how the holding period will be applied.
Transactions Not Subject to Redemption Fees
The T. Rowe Price funds will not assess a redemption fee with respect to certain
transactions. As of the date of this prospectus, the following shares of T. Rowe Price
funds will not be subject to redemption fees:
• Shares redeemed through an automated, systematic withdrawal plan;
• Shares redeemed through or used to establish certain rebalancing, asset allocation,
wrap, and advisory programs, as well as non-T. Rowe Price fund-of-funds
products, if approved in writing by T. Rowe Price;
• Shares purchased through the reinvestment of dividends or capital gain
distributions;*
• Shares converted from one share class to another share class of the same fund;*
• Shares redeemed automatically by a fund to pay fund fees or shareholder account
fees (e.g., for failure to meet account minimums);
• Shares purchased by rollover or changes of account registration within the same
fund;*
• Shares redeemed to return an excess contribution from a retirement account;
• Shares of T. Rowe Price funds purchased by another T. Rowe Price fund and shares
purchased by discretionary accounts managed by T. Rowe Price or one of its
affiliates (please note that other shareholders of the investing T. Rowe Price fund
are still subject to the policy);
• Shares that are redeemed in-kind;
• Shares transferred to T. Rowe Price or a third-party intermediary acting as a service
provider when the age of the shares cannot be determined systematically;* and
• Shares redeemed in retirement plans or other products that restrict trading to no
more frequently than once per quarter, if approved in writing by T. Rowe Price.
* Subsequent exchanges of these shares into funds that assess redemption fees will subject such shares to the fee.
T. ROWE PRICE 30
Redemption Fees on Shares Held in Retirement Plans
If shares are held in a retirement plan, redemption fees generally will be assessed on
shares redeemed by exchange only if they were originally purchased by exchange.
However, redemption fees may apply to transactions other than exchanges depending
on how shares of the plan are held at T. Rowe Price or how the fees are applied by
your plan’s recordkeeper. To determine which of your transactions are subject to
redemption fees, you should contact T. Rowe Price or your plan recordkeeper.
Omnibus Accounts
If your shares are held through an intermediary in an omnibus account, T. Rowe
Price relies on the intermediary to assess the redemption fee on underlying
shareholder accounts. T. Rowe Price seeks to identify intermediaries establishing
omnibus accounts and to enter into agreements requiring the intermediary to assess
the redemption fees. There are no assurances that T. Rowe Price will be successful in
identifying all intermediaries or that the intermediaries will properly assess the fees.
Certain intermediaries may not apply the exemptions previously listed to the
redemption fee policy; all redemptions by persons trading through such
intermediaries may be subject to the fee. Certain intermediaries may exempt
transactions not listed from redemption fees, if approved by T. Rowe Price. Persons
redeeming shares through an intermediary should check with their respective
intermediary to determine which transactions are subject to the fees.
USEFUL INFORMATION ON DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAX ES
Each fund intends to qualify to be treated each year as a regulated investment
company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In
order to qualify, a fund must satisfy certain income, diversification, and distribution
requirements. A regulated investment company is not subject to U.S. federal income
tax at the portfolio level on income and gains from investments that are distributed to
shareholders. However, if a fund were to fail to qualify as a regulated investment
company and was ineligible to or otherwise did not cure such failure, the result
would be fund-level taxation and, consequently, a reduction in income available for
distribution to the fund’s shareholders.
To the extent possible, all net investment income and realized capital gains are
distributed to shareholders.
Dividends and Other Distributions
Dividend and capital gain distributions are reinvested in additional fund shares in
your account unless you select another option. Reinvesting distributions results in
compounding, which allows you to receive dividends and capital gain distributions
on an increasing number of shares.
INFORMATION ABOUT ACCOUNTS IN T. ROWE PRICE FUNDS 31
Distributions not reinvested are paid by check or transmitted to your bank account
via Automated Clearing House. If the U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver your check,
or if your check remains uncashed for six months, the fund reserves the right to
reinvest your distribution check in your account at the net asset value on the day of
the reinvestment and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the fund.
Interest will not accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distributions or
redemption checks.
The following table provides details on dividend payments:
Dividend Payment Schedule
Fund Dividends
Money funds • Purchases received by T. Rowe Price by noon ET via wire
begin to earn dividends on that day. Other shares normally
begin to earn dividends on the business day after payment
is received by T. Rowe Price.
• Declared daily and paid on the first business day of each
month.
Bond funds • Shares normally begin to earn dividends on the business
day after payment is received by T. Rowe Price.
• Declared daily and paid on the first business day of each
month.
These stock funds only:
• Balanced
• Dividend Growth
• Equity Income
• Equity Index 500
• Global Real Estate
• Growth & Income
• Personal Strategy Balanced
• Personal Strategy Income
• Real Estate
• Declared and paid quarterly, if any, in March, June,
September, and December.
• Must be a shareholder on the dividend record date.
Other stock funds • Declared and paid annually, if any, generally in December.
• Must be a shareholder on the dividend record date.
Retirement and Spectrum Funds:
• Retirement Income and
Spectrum Income
• Shares normally begin to earn dividends on the business
day after payment is received by T. Rowe Price.
• Declared daily and paid on the first business day of each
month.
• All others • Declared and paid annually, if any, generally in December.
• Must be a shareholder on the dividend record date.
Bond and money fund shares earn dividends through the date of redemption (except
for wire redemptions from money funds prior to noon ET, which earn dividends
through the calendar day prior to the date of redemption). Shares redeemed on a
Friday or prior to a holiday will continue to earn dividends until the next business
T. ROWE PRICE 32
day. Generally, if you redeem all of your bond or money fund shares at any time
during the month, you will also receive all dividends earned through the date of
redemption in the same check. When you redeem only a portion of your bond or
money fund shares, all dividends accrued on those shares will be reinvested, or paid
in cash, on the next dividend payment date. The funds do not pay dividends in
fractional cents. Any dividend amount earned for a particular day on all shares held
that is one-half of one cent or greater (for example, $0.016) will be rounded up to
the next whole cent ($0.02), and any amount that is less than one-half of one cent
(for example, $0.014) will be rounded down to the nearest whole cent ($0.01).
Please note that if the dividend payable on all shares held is less than one-half of one
cent for a particular day, no dividend will be earned for that day.
If you purchase and sell your shares through an intermediary, consult your
intermediary to determine when your shares begin and stop accruing dividends; the
information previously described may vary.
Capital Gain Payments
A capital gain or loss is the difference between the purchase and sale price of a
security. If a fund has net capital gains for the year (after subtracting any capital
losses), they are usually declared and paid in December to shareholders of record on
a specified date that month. If a second distribution is necessary, it is paid the
following year.
Capital gain payments are not expected from money funds, which are managed to
maintain a constant share price.
Tax Information
In most cases, you will be provided information for your tax filing needs no later than
mid-February.
If you invest in the fund through a tax-deferred account, such as an individual
retirement account, you will not be subject to tax on dividends and distributions
from the fund or the sale of fund shares if those amounts remain in the tax-deferred
account. You may receive a Form 1099-R or other Internal Revenue Service forms, as
applicable, if any portion of the account is distributed to you.
If you invest in the fund through a taxable account, you generally will be subject to
tax when:
• You sell fund shares, including an exchange from one fund to another.
• The fund makes dividend or capital gain distributions.
Additional information about the taxation of dividends for certain T. Rowe Price
funds is listed below:
Tax-Free and Municipal Funds
• Regular monthly dividends (including those from the state-specific tax-free funds) are expected to
be exempt from federal income taxes.
INFORMATION ABOUT ACCOUNTS IN T. ROWE PRICE FUNDS 33
Tax-Free and Municipal Funds
• Exemption is not guaranteed, since the fund has the right under certain conditions to invest in
nonexempt securities.
• A fund may hold Build America Bonds or other qualified tax credit bonds. Investments in these
bonds will result in taxable interest income, although the federal income tax on such interest
income may be fully or partially offset by the specified tax credits that are available to the
bondholders. A fund may elect to pass through to the shareholders taxable interest income and
any corresponding tax credits. Any available tax credits—which are also included in federal
taxable income—generally can be used to offset federal regular income tax and alternative
minimum tax, but those tax credits generally are not refundable.
• Tax-exempt dividends paid to Social Security recipients may increase the portion of benefits that
is subject to tax.
• For state-specific funds, the monthly dividends you receive are expected to be exempt from state
and local income tax of that particular state. For other funds, a small portion of your income
dividend may be exempt from state and local income taxes.
• If a fund invests in certain “private activity” bonds that are not exempt from the alternative
minimum tax, shareholders who are subject to the alternative minimum tax must include income
generated by those bonds in their alternative minimum tax calculation. Private activity bonds
issued in 2009 and 2010, and refunding bonds issued in 2009 and 2010 to refund private activity
bonds that were issued from the beginning of 2004 to the end of 2008, are exempt from the
alternative minimum tax. The portion of a fund’s income dividend that should be included in your
alternative minimum tax calculation, if any, will be reported to you in January on Form 1099-DIV.
For individual shareholders, a portion of ordinary dividends representing “qualified
dividend income” received by the fund may be subject to tax at the lower rates
applicable to long-term capital gains rather than ordinary income. You may report it
as “qualified dividend income” in computing your taxes, provided you have held the
fund shares on which the dividend was paid for more than 60 days during the
121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date. Ordinary dividends
that do not qualify for this lower rate are generally taxable at the investor’s marginal
income tax rate. This includes the portion of ordinary dividends derived from
interest, short-term capital gains, distributions from nonqualified foreign
corporations, and dividends received by the fund from stocks that were on loan.
Little, if any, of the ordinary dividends paid by the Global Real Estate Fund, Real
Estate Fund, or the bond and money funds is expected to qualify for this lower rate.
For corporate shareholders, a portion of ordinary dividends may be eligible for the
70% deduction for dividends received by corporations to the extent the fund’s
income consists of dividends paid by U.S. corporations. Little, if any, of the ordinary
dividends paid by the international stock funds or the bond and money funds is
expected to qualify for this deduction.
Beginning in 2013, a 3.8% net investment income tax is imposed on net investment
income, including interest, dividends, and capital gains, of U.S. individuals with
income exceeding $200,000 (or $250,000 if married filing jointly) and of estates and
trusts.
T. ROWE PRICE 34
Taxes on Fund Redemptions
When you sell shares in any fund, you may realize a gain or loss. An exchange from
one fund to another in a taxable account is also a sale for tax purposes.
T. Rowe Price will make available to you Form 1099-B, if applicable, no later than
mid-February, indicating the date and amount of each sale you made in the fund
during the prior year. This information will also be reported to the Internal Revenue
Service. For most new accounts or those opened by exchange in 1984 or later, we
will provide you with the gain or loss on the shares you sold during the year based
on the average cost single category method. You may calculate the cost basis using
other methods acceptable to the Internal Revenue Service, such as specific
identification.
If you hold your fund through an intermediary, the intermediary is responsible for
providing you with any necessary tax forms. You should contact your intermediary
for the tax information that will be sent to you and reported to the Internal Revenue
Service.
For mutual fund shares acquired after 2011, new tax regulations require us to
report the cost basis information to you and the Internal Revenue Service on
Form 1099-B using a cost basis method selected by you or, in the absence of such
selected method, our default method if you acquire your shares directly from us. Our
default method is average cost. If you acquire your fund shares through an
intermediary after 2011, you should check with your intermediary regarding the
applicable cost basis method. You should, however, note that the cost basis
information reported to you may not always be the same as what you should report
on your tax return because the rules applicable to the determination of cost basis on
Form 1099-B may be different from the rules applicable to the determination of cost
basis for reporting on your tax return. Therefore, you should save your transaction
records to make sure the information reported on your tax return is accurate. To help
you maintain accurate records, T. Rowe Price will make available to you a
confirmation promptly following each transaction you make (except for systematic
purchases and systematic redemptions) and a year-end statement detailing all of your
transactions in each fund account during the year. If you hold your fund through an
intermediary, the intermediary is responsible for providing you with transaction
confirmations and statements.
Taxes on Fund Distributions
T. Rowe Price (or your intermediary) will make available to you, as applicable, no
later than mid-February, a Form 1099-DIV, or other Internal Revenue Service forms,
as required, indicating the tax status of any income dividends, dividends exempt
from federal income taxes, and capital gain distributions made to you. This
information will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service. Taxable distributions
are generally taxable to you in the year in which they are paid. Your bond or money
fund dividends for each calendar year will include dividends accrued up to the first
INFORMATION ABOUT ACCOUNTS IN T. ROWE PRICE FUNDS 35
business day of the next calendar year. You will be sent any additional information
you need to determine your taxes on fund distributions, such as the portion of your
dividends, if any, that may be exempt from state and local income taxes. Dividends
from tax-free funds are generally expected to be tax-exempt.
The tax treatment of a capital gain distribution is determined by how long the fund
held the portfolio securities, not how long you held the shares in the fund. Short-
term (one year or less) capital gain distributions are taxable at the same rate as
ordinary income, and gains on securities held for more than one year are taxed at the
lower rates applicable to long-term capital gains. If you realized a loss on the sale or
exchange of fund shares that you held for six months or less, your short-term capital
loss must be reclassified as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any long-term
capital gain distributions received during the period you held the shares. For funds
investing in foreign securities, distributions resulting from the sale of certain foreign
currencies, currency contracts, and the foreign currency portion of gains on debt
securities are taxed as ordinary income. Net foreign currency losses may cause
monthly or quarterly dividends to be reclassified as returns of capital.
If the fund qualifies and elects to pass through nonrefundable foreign income taxes
paid to foreign governments during the year, your portion of such taxes will be
reported to you as taxable income. However, you may be able to claim an offsetting
credit or deduction on your tax return for those amounts. There can be no assurance
that a fund will meet the requirements to pass through foreign income taxes paid.
Taxable distributions are subject to tax whether reinvested in additional shares or
received in cash.
If a fund holds Build America Bonds or other qualified tax credit bonds and elects to
pass through the corresponding interest income and any available tax credits, you
will need to report both the interest income and any such tax credits as taxable
income. You may be able to claim the tax credits on your federal tax return as an
offset to your income tax (including alternative minimum tax) liability, but the tax
credits generally are not refundable. There is no assurance, however, that a fund will
elect to pass through the income and credits.
The following table provides additional details on distributions for certain funds:
Taxes on Fund Distributions
Tax-Free and Municipal Funds
• Gains realized on the sale of market discount bonds with maturities beyond one year may be
treated as ordinary income and cannot be offset by other capital losses.
• Payments received or gains realized on certain derivative transactions may result in taxable
ordinary income or capital gains.
• To the extent the fund makes such investments, the likelihood of a taxable distribution will be
increased.
T. ROWE PRICE 36
Taxes on Fund Distributions
Inflation Protected Bond Fund
• Inflation adjustments on Treasury inflation-protected securities that exceed deflation adjustments
for the year will be distributed as a short-term capital gain resulting in ordinary income.
• In computing the distribution amount, the fund cannot reduce inflation adjustments by short- or
long-term capital losses from the sales of securities.
• Net deflation adjustments for a year may result in all or a portion of dividends paid earlier in the
year being treated as a return of capital.
Retirement and Spectrum Funds
• Distributions by the underlying funds and changes in asset allocations may result in taxable
distributions of ordinary income or capital gains.
Tax Consequences of Hedging
Entering into certain transactions involving options, futures, swaps, and forward
currency exchange contracts may result in the application of the mark-to-market and
straddle provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. These provisions could result in a
fund being required to distribute gains on such transactions even though it did not
close the contracts during the year or receive cash to pay such distributions. The fund
may not be able to reduce its distributions for losses on such transactions to the
extent of unrealized gains in offsetting positions.
Tax Effect of Buying Shares Before an Income Dividend or Capital Gain Distribution
If you buy shares shortly before or on the record date—the date that establishes you
as the person to receive the upcoming distribution—you may receive a portion of the
money you just invested in the form of a taxable distribution. Therefore, you may
wish to find out a fund’s record date before investing. In addition, a fund’s share
price may, at any time, reflect undistributed capital gains or income and unrealized
appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions. Such distributions can
occur even in a year when the fund has a negative return.
TRANSACTION PROCEDURES AND SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
Following these procedures helps assure timely and accurate transactions.
Purchase Conditions
Nonpayment If you pay with a check or Automated Clearing House transfer that
does not clear or if your payment is not received in a timely manner, your purchase
may be canceled. You will be responsible for any losses or expenses incurred by the
fund or transfer agent, and the fund can redeem shares you own in this or another
identically registered T. Rowe Price account as reimbursement. The funds and their
agents have the right to reject or cancel any purchase, exchange, or redemption due
to nonpayment.
INFORMATION ABOUT ACCOUNTS IN T. ROWE PRICE FUNDS 37
U.S. Dollars All purchases must be paid for in U.S. dollars; checks must be drawn on
U.S. banks.
Sale (Redemption) Conditions
Holds on Immediate Redemptions: 10-Day Hold If you sell shares that you just
purchased and paid for by check or Automated Clearing House transfer, the fund will
process your redemption but generally will delay sending you the proceeds for up to
10 calendar days to allow the check or transfer to clear. If, during the clearing period,
we receive a check drawn against your newly purchased shares, it will be returned
marked “uncollected.” (The 10-day hold does not apply to purchases paid for by
bank wire or automatic purchases through your paycheck.)
Telephone and Online Account Transactions You may access your account and
conduct transactions using the telephone or the T. Rowe Price website. The T. Rowe
Price funds and their agents use reasonable procedures to verify the identity of the
shareholder. If these procedures are followed, the funds and their agents are not
liable for any losses that may occur from acting on unauthorized instructions. A
confirmation is sent promptly after a transaction. Please review it carefully and
contact T. Rowe Price immediately about any transaction you believe to be
unauthorized. Telephone conversations are recorded.
Large Redemptions Large redemptions can adversely affect a portfolio manager’s
ability to implement a fund’s investment strategy by causing the premature sale of
securities. Therefore, the fund reserves the right (without prior notice) to pay all or
part of redemption proceeds with securities from the fund’s portfolio rather than in
cash (“redemption in-kind”). If this occurs, the securities will be selected by the fund
in its absolute discretion, and the redeeming shareholder or account will be
responsible for disposing of the securities and bearing any associated costs.
Excessive and Short-Term Trading Policy
Excessive transactions and short-term trading can be harmful to fund shareholders in
various ways, such as disrupting a fund’s portfolio management strategies, increasing
a fund’s trading costs, and negatively affecting its performance. Short-term traders in
funds that invest in foreign securities may seek to take advantage of developments
overseas that could lead to an anticipated difference between the price of the funds’
shares and price movements in foreign markets. While there is no assurance that
T. Rowe Price can prevent all excessive and short-term trading, the Boards of
Directors/Trustees of the T. Rowe Price funds have adopted the following trading
limits that are designed to deter such activity and protect the funds’ shareholders.
The funds may revise their trading limits and procedures at any time as the Boards of
Directors/Trustees deem necessary or appropriate to better detect short-term trading
that may adversely affect the funds, to comply with applicable regulatory
requirements, or to impose additional or alternative restrictions.
Subject to certain exceptions, each T. Rowe Price fund restricts a shareholder’s
purchases (including through exchanges) into a fund account for a period of
T. ROWE PRICE 38
30 calendar days after the shareholder has redeemed or exchanged out of that same
fund account (the “30-Day Purchase Block”). The calendar day after the date of
redemption is considered Day 1 for purposes of computing the period before another
purchase may be made.
General Exceptions As of the date of this prospectus, the following types of
transactions generally are not subject to the 30-Day Purchase Block:
• Shares purchased or redeemed in money funds and ultra short-term bond funds;
• Shares purchased or redeemed through a systematic purchase or withdrawal plan;
• Checkwriting redemptions from bond and money funds;
• Shares purchased through the reinvestment of dividends or capital gain
distributions;
• Shares redeemed automatically by a fund to pay fund fees or shareholder account
fees;
• Transfers and changes of account registration within the same fund;
• Shares purchased by asset transfer or direct rollover;
• Shares purchased or redeemed through IRA conversions and recharacterizations;
• Shares redeemed to return an excess contribution from a retirement account;
• Transactions in Section 529 college savings plans;
• Shares converted from one share class to another share class in the same fund; and
• Shares of T. Rowe Price funds that are purchased by another T. Rowe Price fund,
including shares purchased by T. Rowe Price fund-of-funds products, and shares
purchased by discretionary accounts managed by T. Rowe Price or one of its
affiliates (please note that shareholders of the investing T. Rowe Price fund are still
subject to the policy).
Transactions in certain rebalancing, asset allocation, wrap programs, and other
advisory programs, as well as non-T. Rowe Price fund-of-funds products, may also be
exempt from the 30-Day Purchase Block, subject to prior written approval by
T. Rowe Price.
In addition to restricting transactions in accordance with the 30-Day Purchase Block,
T. Rowe Price may, in its discretion, reject (or instruct an intermediary to reject) any
purchase or exchange into a fund from a person (which includes individuals and
entities) whose trading activity could disrupt the management of the fund or dilute
the value of the fund’s shares, including trading by persons acting collectively (e.g.,
following the advice of a newsletter). Such persons may be barred, without prior
notice, from further purchases of T. Rowe Price funds for a period longer than
30 calendar days or permanently.
Intermediary Accounts If you invest in T. Rowe Price funds through an intermediary,
you should review the intermediary’s materials carefully or consult with the
intermediary directly to determine the trading policy that will apply to your trades in
the funds as well as any other rules or conditions on transactions that may apply. If
INFORMATION ABOUT ACCOUNTS IN T. ROWE PRICE FUNDS 39
T. Rowe Price is unable to identify a transaction placed through an intermediary as
exempt from the excessive trading policy, the 30-Day Purchase Block may apply.
Intermediaries may maintain their underlying accounts directly with the fund,
although they often establish an omnibus account (one account with the fund that
represents multiple underlying shareholder accounts) on behalf of their customers.
When intermediaries establish omnibus accounts in the T. Rowe Price funds,
T. Rowe Price is not able to monitor the trading activity of the underlying
shareholders. However, T. Rowe Price monitors aggregate trading activity at the
intermediary (omnibus account) level in an attempt to identify activity that indicates
potential excessive or short-term trading. If it detects suspicious trading activity,
T. Rowe Price contacts the intermediary and may request personal identifying
information and transaction histories for some or all underlying shareholders
(including plan participants, if applicable). If T. Rowe Price believes that excessive or
short-term trading has occurred, it will instruct the intermediary to impose
restrictions to discourage such practices and take appropriate action with respect to
the underlying shareholder, including restricting purchases for 30 calendar days or
longer. There is no assurance that T. Rowe Price will be able to properly enforce its
excessive trading policies for omnibus accounts. Because T. Rowe Price generally
relies on intermediaries to provide information and impose restrictions for omnibus
accounts, its ability to monitor and deter excessive trading will be dependent upon
the intermediaries’ timely performance of their responsibilities.
T. Rowe Price may allow an intermediary or other third party to maintain restrictions
on trading in the T. Rowe Price funds that differ from the 30-Day Purchase Block. An
alternative excessive trading policy would be acceptable to T. Rowe Price if it believes
that the policy would provide sufficient protection to the T. Rowe Price funds and
their shareholders that is consistent with the excessive trading policy adopted by the
funds’ Boards of Directors/Trustees.
Retirement Plan Accounts If shares are held in a retirement plan, generally the
30-Day Purchase Block applies only to shares redeemed by a participant-directed
exchange to another fund. However, the 30-Day Purchase Block may apply to
transactions other than exchanges depending on how shares of the plan are held at
T. Rowe Price or the excessive trading policy applied by your plan’s recordkeeper. An
alternative excessive trading policy may apply to the T. Rowe Price funds where a
retirement plan has its own policy deemed acceptable to T. Rowe Price. You should
contact T. Rowe Price or your plan recordkeeper to determine which of your
transactions are subject to the funds’ 30-Day Purchase Block or an alternative policy.
There is no guarantee that T. Rowe Price will be able to identify or prevent all excessive or
short-term trades or trading practices.
Keeping Your Account Open
Due to the relatively high cost to a fund of maintaining small accounts, we ask you to
maintain an account balance of at least $1,000 ($10,000 for Summit Funds). If, for
T. ROWE PRICE 40
any reason, your balance is below this amount for three months or longer, we have
the right to redeem your account at the then-current net asset value after giving you
60 days to increase your balance. This could result in a taxable gain.
Signature Guarantees
A Medallion signature guarantee is designed to protect you and the T. Rowe Price funds
from fraud by verifying your signature.
You may need to have your signature guaranteed in certain situations, such as:
• Written requests: (1) to redeem over $100,000 or (2) to wire redemption proceeds
when prior bank account authorization is not on file.
• Remitting redemption proceeds to any person, address, or bank account not on
record.
• Transferring redemption proceeds to a T. Rowe Price fund account with a different
registration (name or ownership) from yours.
• Establishing certain services after the account is opened.
The signature guarantee must be obtained from a financial institution that is a
participant in a Medallion signature guarantee program. You can obtain a Medallion
signature guarantee from most banks, savings institutions, broker-dealers, and other
guarantors acceptable to T. Rowe Price. When obtaining a Medallion signature
guarantee, please discuss with the guarantor the dollar amount of your proposed
transaction. It is important that the level of coverage provided by the guarantor’s
stamp covers the dollar amount of the transaction or it may be rejected. We cannot
accept guarantees from notaries public or organizations that do not provide
reimbursement in the case of fraud.
ACCOUNT SERVICE FEE
In an effort to help offset the disproportionately high costs incurred by the funds in
connection with servicing lower-balance accounts, an annual $20 account service fee
(paid to T. Rowe Price Services, Inc., or one of its affiliates) is charged to certain fund
accounts with a balance below $10,000. The determination of whether a fund
account is subject to the account service fee is based on account balances and services
selected for accounts as of the last business day of August. The fee will be charged to
an account with a balance below $10,000 for any reason, including market
fluctuation and recent redemptions. The fee, which is automatically deducted from
an account by redeeming fund shares, is typically charged to accounts in early
September each calendar year.
The account service fee generally does not apply to fund accounts that are held
through an intermediary, participant accounts in employer-sponsored retirement
plans for which T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services provides recordkeeping
INFORMATION ABOUT ACCOUNTS IN T. ROWE PRICE FUNDS 41
services, or money funds that are used as a T. Rowe Price Brokerage sweep account.
Regardless of a particular fund account’s balance on the last business day of August,
the account service fee is automatically waived for accounts that satisfy any of the
following conditions:
• Any accounts for which the shareholder has elected to receive electronic delivery of
all of the following: account statements, transaction confirmations, and
prospectuses and shareholder reports;
• Any accounts of a shareholder with at least $50,000 in total assets with T. Rowe
Price (for this purpose, total assets includes investments in T. Rowe Price mutual
funds, except for those held through a retirement plan for which T. Rowe Price
Retirement Plan Services provides recordkeeping services; T. Rowe Price Brokerage;
and T. Rowe Price variable annuities); or
• Any accounts of a shareholder who is a T. Rowe Price Preferred Services, Personal
Services, or Enhanced Personal Services client (enrollment in these programs
generally requires T. Rowe Price assets of at least $100,000—visit troweprice.com
or call 1-800-537-1098 for more information).
T. Rowe Price reserves the right to authorize additional waivers for other types of
accounts or to modify the conditions for assessment of the account service fee. Fund
shares held in a T. Rowe Price individual retirement account, Education Savings
Account, or small business retirement plan account (including certain 403(b) plan
accounts) are subject to the account service fee and may be subject to additional
administrative fees when distributing all fund shares from such accounts.

ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT
How are the funds organized?
T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc. (the “corporation”) was incorporated in
Maryland in 1979. Currently, the corporation consists of 18 series, each representing
a separate pool of assets with different objectives and investment policies. Each is an
“open-end management investment company,” or mutual fund. Mutual funds pool
money received from shareholders and invest it to try to achieve specified objectives.
Shareholders have benefitted from T. Rowe Price’s investment management experience
since 1937.
What is meant by “shares”?
As with all mutual funds, investors purchase shares when they put money in a fund.
These shares are part of a fund’s authorized capital stock, but share certificates are
not issued.
Each share and fractional share entitles the shareholder to:
• Receive a proportional interest in income and capital gain distributions.
• Cast one vote per share on certain fund matters, including the election of fund
directors/trustees, changes in fundamental policies, or approval of changes in the
fund’s management contract.
Do T. Rowe Price funds have annual shareholder meetings?
The funds are not required to hold annual meetings and, to avoid unnecessary costs
to fund shareholders, do not do so except when certain matters, such as a change in
fundamental policies, must be decided. In addition, shareholders representing at least
10% of all eligible votes may call a special meeting for the purpose of voting on the
removal of any fund director or trustee. If a meeting is held and you cannot attend,
you can vote by proxy. Before the meeting, the fund will send or make available to
you proxy materials that explain the issues to be decided and include instructions on
voting by mail or telephone or on the Internet.
Who runs the funds?
General Oversight
Each fund is governed by a Board of Directors that meets regularly to review fund
investments, performance, expenses, and other business affairs. The Board elects the
funds’ officers. At least 75% of Board members are independent of T. Rowe Price and
its affiliates (the “Firm”).
MORE ABOUT THE FUNDS 43
All decisions regarding the purchase and sale of fund investments are made by T. Rowe
Price or an affiliated investment adviser–specifically by the funds’ portfolio managers.
Investment Adviser
T. Rowe Price is each fund’s investment adviser and oversees the selection of each
fund’s investments and management of each fund’s portfolio. T. Rowe Price is a SEC-
registered investment adviser that provides investment management services to

adviser to registered investment companies, institutional separate accounts, and
common trust funds. The address for T. Rowe Price is 100 East Pratt Street,
Baltimore, Maryland 21202. As of December 31, 2012, the Firm managed
approximately $577 billion for more than 10 million individual and institutional
investor accounts.
With respect to the Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund and International
Bond Fund, T. Rowe Price has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with T. Rowe
Price International under which T. Rowe Price International is authorized to trade
securities and make discretionary investment decisions on behalf of the fund.
T. Rowe Price International is an investment adviser registered or licensed with the
SEC, United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, Financial Services Agency of
Japan, and other non-U.S. regulatory authorities. T. Rowe Price International

Portfolio Management
T. Rowe Price has established an Investment Advisory Committee with respect to
each fund. The committee chairman has day-to-day responsibility for managing the
fund’s portfolio and works with the committee in developing and executing each
fund’s investment program. The members of each advisory committee are listed
below, along with information that provides the year that the chairman first joined
the Firm and the chairman’s specific business experience during the past five years
(although the chairman may have had portfolio management responsibilities for a
longer period). The Statement of Additional Information provides additional
information about the portfolio managers’ compensation, other accounts managed by
the portfolio managers, and the portfolio managers’ ownership of fund shares.

The Management Fee
This fee has two parts–an “individual fund fee,” which reflects a fund’s particular
characteristics, and a “group fee.” The group fee, which is designed to reflect the
benefits of the shared resources of the T. Rowe Price investment management
complex, is calculated daily based on the combined net assets of all T. Rowe Price
funds (except the Spectrum Funds, Retirement Funds, TRP Reserve Investment
Funds, and any index or private label mutual funds). The group fee schedule (in the
following table) is graduated, declining as the asset total rises, so shareholders benefit
from the overall growth in mutual fund assets.

* Represents a blended group fee rate containing various breakpoints.
Each fund’s group fee is determined by applying the group fee rate to the fund’s
average daily net assets. On December 31, 2012, the annual group fee rate was
0.30%. The individual fund fees, also applied to the funds’ average daily net assets,
are as follows: Emerging Markets Bond Fund and Emerging Markets Local Currency
Bond Fund, 0.45%; Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund, 0.50%, and
International Bond Fund, 0.35%.
The expenses shown in the fee table in Section 1 are generally based on a fund’s prior
fiscal year. In periods of market volatility, assets may decline significantly, causing
total annual fund operating expenses to become higher than the numbers shown in
the fee table.
A discussion about the factors considered by the Board and its conclusions in
approving each fund’s investment management contract with T. Rowe Price appears
in each fund’s semiannual report to shareholders for the period ended June 30.
Fund Operations and Shareholder Services
T. Rowe Price provides accounting services to the T. Rowe Price funds. T. Rowe Price
Services, Inc. acts as the transfer and dividend disbursing agent and provides
shareholder and administrative services to the funds. T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan
Services, Inc., provides recordkeeping, sub-transfer agency, and administrative
services for certain types of retirement plans investing in the funds. These companies
receive compensation from the funds for their services. The funds may also pay third-
party intermediaries for performing shareholder and administrative services for
underlying shareholders in omnibus accounts. Certain funds also serve as underlying
funds in which certain fund-of-funds products, the T. Rowe Price Spectrum and/or
Retirement Funds, invest. Subject to approval by each fund’s Board of Directors, each
fund bears a proportional share of the operating expenses of the fund-of-funds
products. All of the fees discussed above are included in the fees and expenses table
under “Other expenses” and in the funds’ financial statements.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS AND THEIR INVESTMENT RISKS
Consider your investment goals, your time horizon for achieving them, and your
tolerance for risk. The funds are more suitable for investors with long-term financial
goals. The funds may be appropriate if you seek diversification for your equity or
domestic fixed income investments and can accept the risks that accompany foreign
bond investing, including the potentially greater volatility associated with emerging
markets. Your decision should take into account whether you have any other foreign
bond investments. If not, you may want to consider the International Bond Fund to
gain broader exposure to opportunities abroad. The Emerging Markets Bond Fund,
Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund, or Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond
Fund may be an appropriate part of your overall investment strategy if you are
supplementing existing holdings that focus on developed foreign markets and can
accept the potentially greater volatility of investing in emerging markets, including
the increased currency risk associated with the Emerging Markets Local Currency
Bond Fund.
The fund or funds you select should not represent your complete investment program or
be used for short-term purposes.
Buying foreign bonds can be difficult and costly for the individual investor, and
gaining access to many foreign markets can be complicated. Few investors have the
time, the expertise, or the resources to evaluate foreign markets effectively on their
own. The professional management, broad diversification, and relative simplicity of
mutual funds make them an attractive, low-cost vehicle for this type of investing.
Interest rates vary from country to country depending on local economic conditions
and monetary and fiscal policies. By investing in foreign bond markets, investors can
benefit from potentially higher yields than U.S. bond markets provide. Therefore,
diversifying internationally across various countries can help reduce portfolio
volatility and smooth out returns.
The funds’ security selection relies heavily on in-depth research that analyzes various
factors such as the creditworthiness of particular issuers, shifts in country
fundamentals, political and economic trends, anticipated currency movements, and
the risk adjusted attractiveness of various countries. While the International Bond
Fund focuses its investments in non-U.S. dollar-denominated, investment-grade
bonds of issuers in developed markets, the Emerging Markets Bond Fund, Emerging
Markets Corporate Bond Fund, and Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund
focus their investments on issuers in emerging markets. The Emerging Markets Bond
Fund has wide flexibility to choose among bonds issued in local currencies or the
U.S. dollar, and to choose among corporate and sovereign issuers. The Emerging
Markets Local Currency Bond Fund may diversify its investments between corporate
and sovereign issuers but tends to invest more in sovereign bonds, whereas the
Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund focuses its investments almost entirely on
MORE ABOUT THE FUNDS 47
corporate issuers. Furthermore, the Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund
focuses its investments on bonds and other debt instruments that are denominated in
the local currency of the issuer, which enables investors to get exposure both to local
interest rates and to the currencies of emerging markets. Investments in bonds issued
in foreign currencies may afford investors a potential hedge against weakness in the
U.S. dollar, although investments by the Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond
Fund and International Bond Fund will be significantly affected by changes in the
exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which the funds’
holdings are denominated and traded.
The funds ordinarily invest in the securities of at least three countries; however, they
may invest in the securities of one country, including the U.S., for temporary
defensive purposes.
While the use of forward currency exchange contracts is not a principal investment
strategy of the Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund, each of the funds may enter
into forward currency exchange contracts in an effort to hedge against an expected
decline in the value of currencies in which its portfolio holdings are denominated, to
increase exposure to a particular foreign currency or to shift the fund’s foreign
currency exposure from one country to another, or to enhance the fund’s returns. In
an effort to achieve these same goals, the Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond
Fund may also enter into currency swaps, purchase and write options on currencies,
and purchase and sell currency futures contracts and related options thereon, as well
as use interest rate swaps and futures contracts to adjust its country exposure.
Funds that invest overseas generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in
U.S. assets. The risk profiles of foreign bond funds vary with the types of bonds they
purchase, their degree of currency exposure, and whether they invest in developed
markets, emerging markets, or both. Of the funds, the emerging markets funds tend
to be more risky, with the Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund having the
higher potential for share price volatility resulting from currency fluctuations.
As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee the funds will achieve their
objectives. The funds’ share price fluctuates, which means you could lose money
when you sell your shares of the funds. Some particular risks affecting the funds
include the following:
Currency risk This is the risk of a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus
the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that
foreign currency. The overall impact on a fund’s holdings can be significant and long-
lasting depending on the currencies represented in the portfolio, how each currency
appreciates or depreciates in relation to the U.S. dollar, and whether currency
positions are hedged. Foreign currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly
over short periods of time, particularly with respect to emerging markets currencies.
Currency exchange rates can also be affected unpredictably by intervention by U.S.
or foreign governments or central banks, or by currency controls or political
T. ROWE PRICE 48
developments. Because the Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund and
International Bond Fund are normally heavily exposed to foreign currencies and do
not attempt to hedge the impact of these currencies on the U.S. dollar, changes in
currency exchange rates are likely to have a significant impact on the funds’
performance. Many bonds held in the Emerging Markets Bond Fund and Emerging
Markets Corporate Bond Fund may be denominated in U.S. dollars to improve their
marketability, but this does not protect them from substantial price declines in the
face of political and economic turmoil. Currency trends are unpredictable, and to the
extent each fund purchases and sells currencies, it will also be subject to the risk that
its trading strategies, including efforts at hedging, will not succeed. Furthermore,
hedging and trading costs can be significant and reduce fund net asset value, and
many emerging market currencies cannot be effectively hedged.
Other risks of foreign investing Risks can result from varying stages of economic and
political development, differing regulatory environments, trading days and
accounting standards, uncertain tax laws, and higher transaction costs of non-U.S.
markets. Investments outside the U.S. could be subject to governmental actions such
as capital or currency controls, nationalization of a company or industry,
expropriation of assets, or imposition of high taxes. A trading market may close
without warning for extended time periods, preventing a fund from buying or selling
securities in that market.
Emerging market risk Investments in emerging markets, which generally include
Africa, parts of Europe and much of Asia, the Middle East, and Central and South
America, are subject to the risk of abrupt and severe price declines. The economic
and political structures of emerging market countries, in most cases, do not compare
favorably with the U.S. or other developed countries in terms of wealth and stability,
and their financial markets often lack liquidity. These economies are less developed
and can be overly reliant on particular industries and more vulnerable to the ebb and
flow of international trade, trade barriers, and other protectionist or retaliatory
measures. Certain countries have legacies and periodic episodes of hyperinflation and
currency devaluations, particularly Russia and many Latin American nations, and
more recently many Asian countries. Governments in many emerging market
countries participate to a significant degree in their economies and securities markets.
Foreign investments may be restricted and subject to greater government control,
including repatriation of sales proceeds. Some countries have histories of instability
and upheaval that could cause their governments to act in a detrimental or hostile
manner toward private enterprise or foreign investment. Investments in countries or
regions that have recently begun moving away from central planning and state-
owned industries toward free markets should be regarded as speculative.
While some countries have made progress in economic growth, liberalization, fiscal
discipline, and political and social stability, there is no assurance these trends will
continue. Significant risks, such as war and terrorism, currently affect some emerging
market countries. Fund performance will likely be hurt by exposure to nations in the
MORE ABOUT THE FUNDS 49
midst of hyperinflation, currency devaluation, trade disagreements, sudden political
upheaval, or interventionist government policies. The volatility of emerging markets
may be heightened by the actions (such as significant buying or selling) of a few
major investors. For example, substantial decreases in cash flows of mutual funds
investing in these markets could significantly affect local securities prices and,
therefore, cause fund share prices to decline.
All of these factors make investing in such countries significantly riskier than in other
countries and any one of these could cause a fund’s share price to decline.
Credit risk This is the risk that an issuer of a debt security or counterparty to an
over-the-counter derivative held by a fund will default (fail to make scheduled
payments), potentially reducing the fund’s income and share price. This risk is
increased when a portfolio security is downgraded or the perceived creditworthiness
of an issuer or counterparty deteriorates. The risk of default is much greater for
emerging market bonds and securities rated as below investment-grade.
Companies and governments issuing lower-rated bonds are not as strong financially
as those with higher credit ratings, and their bonds are often viewed as speculative
investments. Such issuers are more vulnerable to real or perceived business setbacks
and to changes in the economy, such as a recession, that might impair their ability to
make timely interest and principal payments. Certain emerging markets governments
and corporations have in the past defaulted on payment of interest and principal on
debt they have issued. As a result, your portfolio managers rely heavily on
proprietary T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International research when selecting
these investments.
Liquidity risk This is the risk that a fund may not be able to sell a holding in a timely
manner at a desired price. Sectors of the bond market can experience sudden
downturns in trading activity. During periods of reduced market liquidity, the spread
between the price at which a security can be bought and the price at which it can be
sold can widen, and the fund may not be able to sell a holding readily at a price that
reflects what the fund believes it should be worth. Less liquid securities can also
become more difficult to value.
Emerging market bonds are generally less liquid than higher-quality bonds issued by
companies and governments in developed countries. Consequently, large purchases
or sales of certain high-yield, emerging market debt issues may cause significant
changes in their prices. Because many of these bonds do not trade frequently, when
they do trade, their prices may be substantially higher or lower than had been
expected. A lack of liquidity also means that more subjectivity will be used in
establishing the fair value of the securities.
Interest rate risk This is the risk that interest rates will increase, causing a decline in
bond prices. (Bond prices and interest rates usually move in opposite directions.)
Prices fall because the bonds and notes in the fund’s portfolio become less attractive
to other investors when securities with higher yields become available. Generally, the
T. ROWE PRICE 50
longer the maturity of a security or the longer a bond fund’s weighted average
maturity, the greater its interest rate risk. Because the Emerging Markets Bond Fund,
Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund, and International Bond Fund expect to
maintain an intermediate- or long-term weighted average maturity, they should carry
more interest rate risk than the Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund and
other funds that invest in shorter-term securities, although changes in the local
interest rates of emerging market countries tend to be more erratic than changes in
interest rates of the U.S. and developed market countries.
Other factors The major factor influencing prices of high-quality bonds is changes in
interest rate levels; but this is only one of several factors affecting prices of lower-
quality bonds. Because the credit quality of the issuer is lower, such bonds are more
sensitive to developments affecting the issuer’s underlying fundamentals (for
example, changes in financial condition or a particular country’s general economy).
In addition, the entire bond market in an emerging market can experience sudden
and sharp price swings due to a variety of factors, including changes in economic
forecasts, stock market activity, large or sustained sales by institutional investors, a
high-profile default, a political upheaval of some kind, or just a change in the
market’s psychology. This type of volatility is usually associated more with stocks
than bonds, but investors in lower-quality bonds should also anticipate it.
Since mutual funds can be a major source of demand in certain markets, substantial
cash flows into and out of these funds can affect high-yield and emerging market
bond prices. If, for example, a significant number of funds were to sell bonds to meet
shareholder redemptions, both bond prices and a fund’s share price could fall more
than underlying fundamentals might justify.
Nondiversification risk Because each fund (other than Emerging Markets Corporate
Bond Fund) is nondiversified, the fund can invest more of its assets in a smaller
number of issuers than diversified funds. Concentrating investments could result in
greater potential losses than for funds investing in a broader variety of issuers.
Derivatives risk To the extent a fund enters into forward currency exchange
contracts, it is exposed to additional volatility and losses in excess of the fund’s initial
investment, the risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately
predicted, and the risk that the other party to the transaction will not fulfill its
contractual obligation. If currency values and exchange rates move in a direction not
predicted by the investment adviser, the fund could be in a worse position than if it
had not entered into such transactions. Any attempts at hedging currencies may not
be successful and could cause the fund to lose money or fail to get the benefit of a
gain on a hedged position. To the extent the Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond
Fund also uses swaps, options, and futures involving currencies, it is similarly
exposed to additional volatility and losses greater than direct investments in the
contract’s underlying assets and the risk that anticipated currency movements will
not be accurately predicted. These instruments may be less liquid and difficult to
price.
MORE ABOUT THE FUNDS 51
Any efforts at buying or selling currencies could result in significant losses for a fund
and, if the fund takes a short position in a particular currency, it will lose money if
the currency appreciates in value. Further, if the fund’s foreign currency transactions
are intended to hedge the currency risk associated with investing in foreign securities
and minimize the risk of loss that would result from a decline in the value of the
hedged currency, these transactions also may limit any potential gain that might
result should the value of such currency increase.
The Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund’s use of interest rate swaps and
futures involve the risk that interest rate movements will not be accurately predicted.
Interest rates and yield curves vary from country to country depending on local
economic conditions and monetary and fiscal policies, and interest rate changes and
their impact tend to be more difficult to predict for emerging market countries.
Efforts to reduce risk Consistent with each fund’s objective, the portfolio manager
uses various tools to try to reduce risk and increase total return, including:
• Thorough credit research by our own analysts.
• Analysis of industry, country, and regional fundamentals.
• Adjusting fund duration to try to reduce the drop in the fund’s price when interest
rates rise or to benefit from the rise in price when rates fall.
• Management of the impact of foreign currency changes on the fund’s portfolio.
Other strategies may be employed that are not considered part of a fund’s principal
investment strategies. For instance, the Emerging Markets Bond Fund, Emerging
Markets Corporate Bond Fund, and International Bond Fund may also use futures
and swaps, although these funds would primarily use such instruments to manage
interest rate exposure, adjust portfolio duration, or as a tool to help manage cash
flows into and out of the fund. Each fund may also use credit default swaps in an
effort to manage overall credit quality or to protect the value of certain portfolio
holdings. For the Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund, any forward currency
exchange contracts would typically be used to settle trades in a foreign currency,
although they could be used to help protect the fund’s holdings from unfavorable
changes in currency exchange rates. To the extent a fund invests in futures, swaps, or
credit default swaps, it could be exposed to additional volatility and the risk that
anticipated changes in interest rates or the creditworthiness of an issuer, or the
likelihood of a particular credit event, will not be accurately predicted. From time to
time, the funds may use other derivatives that are consistent with their investment
program.
A derivative involves risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks
associated with investing directly in the assets on which the derivative is based.
Derivatives can be highly volatile, illiquid, and difficult to value, and changes in the
value of a derivative may not properly correlate with changes in the value of the
underlying asset, reference rate, or index. A fund could be exposed to significant
losses if it is unable to close a derivatives position due to the lack of a liquid
T. ROWE PRICE 52
secondary trading market. Derivatives involve the risk that a counterparty to the
derivatives agreement will fail to make required payments or comply with the terms
of the agreement. There is also the possibility that limitations or trading restrictions
may be imposed by an exchange or government regulation, which could adversely
impact the value and liquidity of a derivatives contract subject to such regulation.
Recent legislation calls for a new regulatory framework for the derivatives markets.
The full extent and impact of new regulations are not certain at this time. New
regulations have made the use of derivatives by funds more costly, may limit the
availability of certain types of derivatives, and may otherwise adversely affect the
value or performance of derivatives used by funds.
The Statement of Additional Information contains more detailed information about
each fund and its investments, operations, and expenses.
INVESTMENT POLICIES AND PRACTICES
This section takes a detailed look at some of the types of fund securities and the
various kinds of investment practices that may be used in day-to-day portfolio
management. Fund investments are subject to further restrictions and risks described
in the Statement of Additional Information.
Shareholder approval is required to substantively change fund objectives.
Shareholder approval is also required to change certain investment restrictions noted
in the following section as “fundamental policies.” Portfolio managers also follow
certain “operating policies” that can be changed without shareholder approval.
Shareholders will receive at least 60 days’ prior notice of a change in a fund’s policy
requiring it to normally invest at least 80% of net assets in 1) bonds of issuers in
emerging markets countries (Emerging Markets Bond); 2) corporate bonds of issuers
in emerging market countries (Emerging Markets Corporate Bond); 3) bonds
denominated in emerging markets currencies (Emerging Markets Local Currency
Bond); and 4) foreign bonds (International Bond).
Fund holdings of certain kinds of investments cannot exceed maximum percentages
of total assets, which are set forth in this prospectus. For instance, fund investments
in certain derivatives are limited to 10% of total assets. While these restrictions
provide a useful level of detail about fund investments, investors should not view
them as an accurate gauge of the potential risk of such investments. For example, in a
given period, a 5% investment in derivatives could have significantly more of an
impact on a fund’s share price than its weighting in the portfolio. The net effect of a
particular investment depends on its volatility and the size of its overall return in
relation to the performance of all other fund investments.
MORE ABOUT THE FUNDS 53
Certain investment restrictions, such as a required minimum or maximum
investment in a particular type of security, are measured at the time a fund purchases
a security. The status, market value, maturity, credit quality, or other characteristics
of a fund’s securities may change after they are purchased, and this may cause the
amount of a fund’s assets invested in such securities to exceed the stated maximum
restriction or fall below the stated minimum restriction. If any of these changes occur,
it would not be considered a violation of the investment restriction and will not
require the sale of an investment if it was proper at the time it was made (this
exception does not apply to a fund’s borrowing policy). However, purchases by a
fund during the time it is above or below the stated percentage restriction would be
made in compliance with applicable restrictions.
For purposes of determining whether a particular country is considered a developed
market or an emerging market, the funds consider a country to be an emerging
market if it is either included in a JP Morgan emerging market bond index or not
included in the International Monetary Fund’s listing of advanced economies. For
purposes of determining whether a fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in a
particular type of security, the funds use the country assigned to a security by
Bloomberg or another unaffiliated third-party data provider.
Changes in fund holdings, fund performance, and the contribution of various
investments to fund performance are discussed in the shareholder reports.
Portfolio managers have considerable discretion in choosing investment strategies and
selecting securities they believe will help achieve fund objectives.
Types of Portfolio Securities
In seeking to meet their investment objectives, fund investments may be made in any
type of security or instrument (including certain potentially high-risk derivatives
described in this section) whose investment characteristics are consistent with their
investment programs. The following pages describe various types of fund holdings
and investment management practices.
Diversification As a fundamental policy, the Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund
will not purchase a security if, as a result, with respect to 75% of its total assets, more
than 5% of the fund’s total assets would be invested in securities of a single issuer or
more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer would be held by
the fund. These limitations do not apply to the fund’s purchase of securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities.
Nondiversified Status–Emerging Markets Bond, Emerging Markets Local Currency
Bond, and International Bond Funds
Each fund is registered as a nondiversified mutual fund. Therefore, each fund is able
to invest more than 5% of its assets in the securities of individual foreign
governments and may invest a greater portion of its assets in a single issuer than a
diversified fund. Since each fund is a nondiversified investment company and is
T. ROWE PRICE 54
permitted to invest a greater proportion of its assets in the securities of a smaller
number of issuers, the funds may be subject to greater credit risk with respect to
their portfolio securities and greater volatility with respect to their share prices than
an investment company that is more broadly diversified.
However, each fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company for
purposes of the Internal Revenue Code. This requires each fund to limit its
investments so that, at the end of each fiscal quarter, with respect to 50% of its total
assets, no more than 5% of its assets is invested in the securities of a single issuer,
and not more than 10% of the voting securities of any issuer are held by each fund.
With respect to the remaining 50% of fund assets, no more than 25% may be
invested in a single issuer.
Debt Securities
The funds’ investments may be in fixed-rate and floating rate debt securities and may
include, but shall not be limited to: (1) debt obligations issued or guaranteed by:
(a) a foreign sovereign government or one of its agencies, authorities,
instrumentalities, or political subdivisions, including a foreign state, province, or
municipality, and (b) supranational organizations such as the World Bank, Asian
Development Bank, European Investment Bank, and European Economic
Community; (2) debt obligations: (a) of foreign banks and bank holding companies,
and (b) of domestic banks and corporations issued in non-U.S. dollar denominations;
and (3) foreign corporate debt securities, asset-backed securities, and commercial
paper. Such securities may take a variety of forms including those issued in the local
currency of the issuer, U.S. dollar-denominated bonds, Eurobonds, and Euro-
denominated bonds. Normally, the Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund will
invest substantially all of its assets in bonds issued by emerging markets corporations,
the Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund will invest substantially all of its
assets in bonds denominated in the local currency of the issuer, and the International
Bond Fund will only purchase non-U.S. dollardenominated bonds (other than Brady
and other emerging market bonds). The funds may from time to time purchase
securities on a when-issued basis, invest in repurchase agreements, and purchase
bonds convertible into equities.
The Emerging Markets Bond Fund and International Bond Fund generally will not
invest more than 5% of its assets in any individual corporate issuer, provided that (1)
a fund may place assets in bank deposits or other short-term bank instruments with a
maturity of up to 30 days provided that (a) the bank has a short-term credit rating of
A1+ (or, if unrated, the equivalent as determined by T. Rowe Price or T. Rowe Price
International) and (b) a fund will not maintain more than 10% of its total assets with
any single bank; and (2) a fund may maintain more than 5% of its total assets,
including cash and currencies, in custodial accounts or deposits of the fund’s
custodian or sub-custodians.
MORE ABOUT THE FUNDS 55
The Emerging Markets Bond Fund may also invest in: such dollar-denominated
fixed-income securities as (1) debt obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government or its agencies or instrumentalities; (2) domestic corporate debt
securities; (3) domestic commercial paper, including commercial paper indexed to
certain specific foreign currency exchange rates; (4) debt obligations of domestic
banks and bank holding companies; and (5) collateralized mortgage obligations or
asset-backed bonds.
Concentration of Investments (Emerging Markets Bond Fund and Emerging Markets
Local Currency Bond Fund) From time to time, each fund may invest more than 25%
of its total assets in the securities of foreign governmental and corporate entities
located in the same country. However, the fund will not invest more than 25% of its
total assets in the securities of any single foreign governmental issuer or in two or
more such issuers subject to a common, explicit guarantee.
Brady Bonds Brady bonds, named after former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury
Nicholas Brady, are used as a means of restructuring the external debt burden of a
government in certain emerging markets. A Brady bond is created when an
outstanding commercial bank loan to a government or private entity is exchanged for
a new bond in connection with a debt restructuring plan. Brady bonds may be
collateralized or uncollateralized and issued in various currencies (although typically
in the U.S. dollar). They are often fully collateralized as to principal in U.S. Treasury
zero coupon bonds. However, even with this collateralization feature, Brady bonds
are often considered speculative, below investment-grade investments because the
timely payment of interest is the responsibility of the issuing party (for example, a
Latin American country) and the value of the bonds can fluctuate significantly based
on the issuer’s ability or perceived ability to make these payments. Finally, some
Brady bonds may be structured with floating rate or low fixed-rate coupons.
Below Investment-Grade Bonds The price and yield of lower-quality (high yield,
high-risk) bonds, commonly referred to as “junk” bonds and below investment-grade
emerging market bonds, can be expected to fluctuate more than the price and yield
of higher-quality bonds. Investment-grade bonds are those rated from the highest
quality (AAA or equivalent) to medium quality (BBB or equivalent), and below
investment-grade bonds are those rated BB (or equivalent) and lower. Below
investment-grade bonds are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s
continuing ability to meet principal and interest payments since their issuers are
more vulnerable to financial setbacks and recession than more creditworthy issuers.
Even BBB rated bonds may have speculative elements as well. The values of below
investment-grade bonds often fluctuate more in response to political, regulatory, or
economic developments than higher quality bonds. Successful investment in lower-
medium- and low-quality bonds involves greater investment risk and is highly
dependent on careful credit analysis.
Operating policies The International Bond Fund may invest up to 20% of total assets
in below investment-grade (“junk”) bonds. For the Emerging Markets Bond Fund,
T. ROWE PRICE 56
Emerging Markets Corporate Bond, and Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond
Fund, there is no limit on the fund’s investments in securities that are rated below
investment grade.
While each fund intends to invest primarily in debt securities, it may invest in
convertible bonds or equity securities. While some countries or companies may be
regarded as favorable investments, pure bond opportunities may be unattractive or
limited due to insufficient supply, or legal or technical restrictions. In such cases, the
fund may consider equity securities or convertible bonds to gain exposure to such
markets.
Preferred Stocks
Stocks represent shares of ownership in a company. Generally, preferred stock has a
specified dividend and ranks after bonds and before common stocks in its claim on
income for dividend payments and on assets should the company be liquidated. After
other claims are satisfied, common stockholders participate in company profits on a
pro-rata basis; profits may be paid out in dividends or reinvested in the company to
help it grow. Increases and decreases in earnings are usually reflected in a company’s
stock price, so common stocks generally have the greatest appreciation and
depreciation potential of all corporate securities. Unlike common stock, preferred
stock does not ordinarily carry voting rights. While most preferred stocks pay a
dividend, a fund may decide to purchase preferred stock where the issuer has
omitted, or is in danger of omitting, payment of its dividend.
Convertible Securities and Warrants
Investments may be made in debt or preferred equity securities that are convertible
into, or exchangeable for, equity securities at specified times in the future and
according to a certain exchange ratio. Convertible bonds are typically callable by the
issuer, which could in effect force conversion before the holder would otherwise
choose. Traditionally, convertible securities have paid dividends or interest at rates
higher than common stocks but lower than nonconvertible securities. They generally
participate in the appreciation or depreciation of the underlying stock into which
they are convertible, but to a lesser degree than common stock. Some convertible
securities combine higher or lower current income with options and other features.
Warrants are options to buy, directly from the issuer, a stated number of shares of
common stock at a specified price anytime during the life of the warrants (generally,
two or more years). Warrants can be highly volatile, have no voting rights, and pay
no dividends.
Operating policies The Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund and International
Bond Fund may invest up to 5% of total assets, and the Emerging Markets Bond
Fund and Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund may invest up to 10% of
total assets, in preferred stocks and securities that are convertible into, or which carry
warrants for common stocks or other equity securities. Under normal conditions, the
funds do not expect to directly purchase common stocks. Any shares of common
MORE ABOUT THE FUNDS 57
stock that are received through a reorganization, restructuring, exercise, exchange,
conversion, or similar action will be sold within a reasonable timeframe taking into
consideration market conditions and any legal restrictions.
Loan Participations and Assignments
Large loans to corporations or governments, including governments of less developed
countries, may be shared or syndicated among several lenders, usually banks. Each
fund could participate in such syndicates, or could buy part of a loan, becoming a
direct lender. Each fund may acquire loans as an assignment from another lender that
holds a direct interest in the loan or as a participation interest in another lender’s
portion of the loan. Participations and assignments involve special types of risk,
including limited marketability and the risks of being considered a lender. If a fund
purchases a participation, it may only be able to enforce its rights through the lender,
and it may assume the credit risk of the lender in addition to the borrower. With
assignments, the fund’s rights against the borrower may be more limited than those
held by the original lender. The funds may also make investments in a company
through the purchase or execution of a privately negotiated note representing the
equivalent of a loan.
Operating policies The Emerging Markets Bond Fund and Emerging Markets Local
Currency Bond Fund may not invest more than 20% of total assets, and the
Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund and International Bond Fund may not
invest more than 5% of total assets, in loan participations and assignments.
Derivatives and Leverage
A derivative is a financial instrument whose value is derived from an underlying
security such as a stock or bond or from a market benchmark, such as an interest rate
index. Many types of investments representing a wide range of risks and potential
rewards may be considered derivatives, including conventional instruments such as
futures and options, as well as other potentially more complex investments such as
swaps and structured notes. The use of derivatives can involve leverage. Leverage has
the effect of magnifying returns, positively or negatively. The effect on returns will
depend on the extent to which an investment is leveraged. For example, an
investment of $1, leveraged at 2 to 1, would have the effect of an investment of $2.
Leverage ratios can be higher or lower with a corresponding effect on returns. The
funds may use derivatives in certain situations to help accomplish any or all of the
following: to hedge against a decline in principal value, to increase yield, to manage
exposure to changes in interest or currency exchange rates, to invest in eligible asset
classes with greater efficiency and at a lower cost than is possible through direct
investment, or to adjust portfolio duration or credit risk exposure.
Operating policy The Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund’s overall net short
positions in bond markets will not exceed 10% of the fund’s net assets.
Derivatives that may be used include the following as well as others that combine the
risk characteristics and features of futures, options, and swaps:
T. ROWE PRICE 58
Futures and Options Futures, a type of potentially high-risk derivative, are often used
to manage or hedge risk because they enable the investor to buy or sell an asset in the
future at an agreed-upon price. Options, another type of potentially high-risk
derivative, give the investor the right (when the investor purchases the option), or the
obligation (when the investor “writes” or sells the option), to buy or sell an asset at a
predetermined price in the future. Futures and options contracts may be bought or
sold for any number of reasons, including to manage exposure to changes in interest
rates, bond prices, foreign currencies, and credit quality; as an efficient means of
increasing or decreasing a fund’s exposure to certain markets; in an effort to enhance
income; to protect the value of portfolio securities; and to serve as a cash
management tool. Call or put options may be purchased or sold on securities,
futures, financial indexes, and foreign currencies.
Futures contracts and options may not always be successful hedges; their prices can
be highly volatile; using them could lower a fund’s total return; and the potential loss
from the use of futures can exceed a fund’s initial investment in such contracts.
Operating policies Initial margin deposits on futures and premiums on options used
for non-hedging purposes will not exceed 5% of a fund’s net asset value. The total
market value of securities covering call or put options may not exceed 25% of total
assets. No more than 5% of total assets will be committed to premiums when
purchasing call or put options.
Swaps Fund investments may be made in interest rate, index, total return, credit
default, and other types of swap agreements, as well as options on swaps, commonly
referred to as “swaptions,” and interest rate swap futures, which are instruments that
provide a way to gain swap exposure and the benefits of futures in one contract. All
of these agreements are considered derivatives and, in certain cases, high-risk
derivatives. Interest rate, index, and total return swaps are two-party contracts under
which a fund and a counterparty, such as a broker or dealer, agree to exchange the
returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular
predetermined investments or indexes. Credit default swaps are agreements where
one party (the protection buyer) will make periodic payments to another party (the
protection seller) in exchange for protection against specified credit events, such as
defaults and bankruptcies related to an issuer or underlying credit instrument. Swap
futures are futures contracts on interest rate swaps that enable purchasers to cash
settle at a future date at the price determined by a specific benchmark rate at the end
of a fixed period. Swaps, swaptions, and swap futures can be used for a variety of
purposes, including to manage a fund’s overall exposure to changes in interest or
foreign currency exchange rates and credit quality; as an efficient means of adjusting
a fund’s exposure to certain markets; in an effort to enhance income or total return or
protect the value of portfolio securities; to serve as a cash management tool; and to
adjust portfolio duration or credit risk exposure.
There are risks in the use of swaps and related instruments. Swaps could result in
losses if interest or foreign currency exchange rates or credit quality changes are not
MORE ABOUT THE FUNDS 59
correctly anticipated by a fund. Total return swaps could result in losses if the
reference index, security, or investments do not perform as anticipated. Credit default
swaps can increase a fund’s exposure to credit risk and could result in losses if
evaluation of the creditworthiness of the counterparty, or of the company or
government on which the credit default swap is based, is incorrect. The use of swaps,
swaptions, and swap futures may not always be successful. Using them could lower a
fund’s total return, their prices can be highly volatile, and the potential loss from the
use of swaps can exceed a fund’s initial investment in such instruments. Also, the
other party to a swap agreement could default on its obligations or refuse to cash out
a fund’s investment at a reasonable price, which could turn an expected gain into a
loss. Although there should not be any counterparty risk associated with investments
in interest rate swap futures, a fund could experience delays and/or losses associated
with the bankruptcy of a broker through which the fund engaged in the transaction.
Operating policies A swap agreement with any single counterparty will not be entered
into if the net amount owed or to be received under existing contracts with that party
would exceed 5% of total assets or if the net amount owed or to be received by a
fund under all outstanding swap agreements will exceed 10% of total assets. For
swaptions, the total market value of securities covering call or put options may not
exceed 25% of total assets. No more than 5% of total assets will be committed to
premiums when purchasing call or put swaptions.
Hybrid Instruments These instruments (a type of potentially high-risk derivative) can
combine the characteristics of securities, futures, and options. For example, the
principal amount or interest rate of a hybrid could be tied (positively or negatively) to
the price of some commodity, currency, security, or securities index or another
interest rate (each a “benchmark”). Hybrids can be used as an efficient means of
pursuing a variety of investment goals, including currency hedging, and increased
total return. Hybrids may or may not bear interest or pay dividends. The value of a
hybrid or its interest rate may be a multiple of a benchmark and, as a result, may be
leveraged and move (up or down) more steeply and rapidly than the benchmark.
These benchmarks may be sensitive to economic and political events, such as
commodity shortages and currency devaluations, which cannot be readily foreseen by
the purchaser of a hybrid. Under certain conditions, the redemption value of a hybrid
could be zero. Thus, an investment in a hybrid may entail significant market risks
that are not associated with a similar investment in a traditional, U.S. dollar-
denominated bond that has a fixed principal amount and pays a fixed rate or floating
rate of interest. The purchase of hybrids also exposes the fund to the credit risk of the
issuer of the hybrid. These risks may cause significant fluctuations in the net asset
value of the fund.
Hybrids can have volatile prices and limited liquidity, and their use may not be
successful.
T. ROWE PRICE 60
Operating policy Fund investments in hybrid instruments are limited to 10% of total
assets.
Currency Derivatives Each fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either
on a spot (cash) basis at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market at the
time or through forward currency exchange contracts, which are contracts between
two counterparties to exchange one currency for another on a future date at a
specified exchange rate. In addition to foreign currency forwards, futures, swaps, and
options on foreign currencies may also be used to protect a fund’s foreign securities
from adverse currency movements relative to the U.S. dollar, as well as to gain
exposure to currencies and markets expected to increase or decrease in value relative
to other currencies or securities.
Each fund may attempt to hedge its exposure to potentially unfavorable currency
changes. Forward currency contracts will be used primarily to adjust the foreign
exchange exposure of the fund with a view to protecting the portfolio from adverse
currency movements, based on T. Rowe Price’s outlook. However, forward currency
contracts can also be used in an effort to benefit from a currency believed to be
appreciating in value versus other currencies. The funds may invest in foreign
currencies directly without holding any foreign securities denominated in those
currencies.
Forward currency contracts involve special risks, including, but not limited to, the
potential for significant volatility in currency markets, and the risk that in certain
markets, particularly emerging markets, it is not possible to engage in effective
foreign currency hedging. In addition, such transactions involve the risk that
currency movements will not occur as anticipated by T. Rowe Price, which could
reduce a fund’s total return. The funds might enter into foreign currency transactions
under the following circumstances:
Lock In When the fund desires to lock in the U.S. dollar price on the purchase or
sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency.
Cross Hedge If a particular currency is expected to decrease in value relative to
another currency, the fund may sell the currency expected to decrease and purchase
a currency that is expected to increase against the currency sold. The fund’s cross
hedging transactions may involve currencies in which the fund’s holdings are
denominated. However, the fund is not required to own securities in the particular
currency being purchased or sold.
Operating policy The International Bond Fund does not normally commit more than
50% of its assets to cross-hedging.
Direct Hedge If the fund seeks to eliminate substantially all of the risk of owning a
particular currency or believes the portfolio could benefit from price appreciation in a
given country’s bonds but did not want to hold the currency, it could employ a direct
hedge back into the U.S. dollar. In either case, a fund would enter into a forward
MORE ABOUT THE FUNDS 61
contract to sell the currency in which a portfolio security is denominated and
purchase U.S. dollars at an exchange rate established at the time it initiated the
contract. The cost of the direct hedge transaction may offset most, if not all, of the
yield advantage offered by the foreign security, but the fund would hope to benefit
from an increase (if any) in the value of the bond.
Proxy Hedge In certain circumstances, a different currency may be substituted for
the currency in which the investment is denominated, as part of a strategy known as
proxy hedging. In this case, the fund, having purchased a security, will sell a
currency whose value is believed to be closely linked to the currency in which the
security is denominated. This type of hedging entails greater risk than a direct hedge
because it is dependent on a stable relationship between the two currencies paired as
proxies, and that relationship may not always be maintained. The fund may also use
these instruments to create a synthetic bond, which is issued in one currency with
the currency component transformed into another currency.
Generally, the Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund and International Bond
Fund seek to maintain little net exposure to the U.S. dollar. Thus, any U.S. dollar
investments, including any hedges into the U.S. dollar, will normally be offset by
hedges out of the U.S. dollar.
Operating policy The Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund’s overall net short
positions in currencies will not exceed 10% of the fund’s net assets.
Costs of Hedging When the fund purchases a foreign bond with a higher interest
rate than is available on U.S. bonds of a similar maturity, the additional yield on the
foreign bond could be substantially lessened if the fund were to enter into a direct
hedge by selling the foreign currency and purchasing the U.S. dollar. This is what is
known as the “cost” of hedging. A proxy hedge, which is less costly than a direct
hedge, may attempt to reduce this cost through an indirect hedge back to the U.S.
dollar.
It is important to note that hedging costs are treated as capital transactions and are
not, therefore, deducted from a fund’s dividend distribution and are not reflected in
its yield. Instead, such costs will, over time, be reflected in a fund’s net asset value
per share and total return. Hedging may result in the application of the mark-to-
market and straddle provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. These provisions could
result in an increase (or decrease) in the amount of taxable dividends paid by the
funds and could affect whether dividends paid by the funds are classified as capital
gains or ordinary income.
Investments in Other Investment Companies
A fund may invest in other investment companies, including open-end funds, closed-
end funds, and exchange-traded funds.
A fund may purchase the securities of another investment company to temporarily
gain exposure to a portion of the market while awaiting purchase of securities or as
T. ROWE PRICE 62
an efficient means of gaining exposure to a particular asset class. The fund might also
purchase shares of another investment company to gain exposure to the securities in
the investment company’s portfolio at times when the fund may not be able to buy
those securities directly. Any investment in another investment company would be
consistent with the fund’s objective and investment program.
The risks of owning another investment company are generally similar to the risks of
investing directly in the securities in which that investment company invests.
However, an investment company may not achieve its investment objective or
execute its investment strategy effectively, which may adversely affect the fund’s
performance. In addition, because closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds trade
on a secondary market, their shares may trade at a premium or discount to the actual
net asset value of their portfolio securities and their shares may have greater volatility
because of the potential lack of liquidity.
As a shareholder of an investment company not sponsored by T. Rowe Price, the
fund must pay its pro-rata share of that investment company’s fees and expenses. The
fund’s investments in non-T. Rowe Price investment companies are subject to the
limits that apply to investments in other funds under the Investment Company Act of
1940 or under any applicable exemptive order.
A fund may also invest in certain other T. Rowe Price funds as a means of gaining
efficient and cost-effective exposure to certain asset classes, provided the investment
is consistent with the fund’s investment program and policies. Such an investment
could allow the fund to obtain the benefits of a more diversified portfolio than might
otherwise be available through direct investments in the asset class, and will subject
the fund to the risks associated with the particular asset class. Examples of asset
classes in which other T. Rowe Price mutual funds concentrate their investments
include high yield bonds, floating rate loans, international bonds, emerging market
bonds, and emerging market stocks. If the fund invests in another T. Rowe Price
fund, the management fee paid by the fund will be reduced to ensure that the fund
does not incur duplicate management fees as a result of its investment.
Illiquid Securities
Some fund holdings may be considered illiquid because they are subject to legal or
contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold in the ordinary
course of business within seven days at approximately the prices at which they are
valued. The determination of liquidity involves a variety of factors. Illiquid securities
may include private placements that are sold directly to a small number of investors,
usually institutions. Unlike public offerings, such securities are not registered with
the SEC. Although certain of these securities may be readily sold, for example under
Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, others may have resale restrictions and can
be illiquid. The sale of illiquid securities may involve substantial delays and
additional costs, and a fund may only be able to sell such securities at prices
substantially less than what it believes they are worth.
MORE ABOUT THE FUNDS 63
Operating policy Fund investments in illiquid securities are limited to 15% of net
assets.
Types of Investment Management Practices
Reserve Position
A certain portion of fund assets will be held in reserves. Fund reserve positions can
consist of: 1) shares of a T. Rowe Price internal money fund or short-term bond fund;
2) short-term, high-quality U.S. and foreign dollar-denominated money market
securities, including repurchase agreements; and 3) U.S. dollar or non-U.S. dollar
currencies. For temporary, defensive purposes, there is no limit on a fund’s holdings
in reserves. If a fund has significant holdings in reserves, it could compromise the
fund’s ability to achieve its objectives. The reserve position provides flexibility in
meeting redemptions, paying expenses and managing cash flows into a fund, and can
serve as a short-term defense during periods of unusual market volatility. Non-U.S.
dollar reserves are subject to currency risk.
When-Issued Securities and Forwards
A fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis or may
purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. The price of these
securities is fixed at the time of the commitment to buy, but delivery and payment
take place after the customary settlement period for that type of security (often a
month or more later). During the interim period, the price and yield of the securities
can fluctuate, and typically no interest accrues to the purchaser. At the time of
delivery, the market value of the securities may be more or less than the purchase or
sale price. To the extent the fund remains fully or almost fully invested (in securities
with a remaining maturity of more than one year) at the same time it purchases these
securities, there will be greater fluctuations in the fund’s net asset value than if the
fund did not purchase them.
Borrowing Money and Transferring Assets
A fund may borrow from banks, other persons, and other T. Rowe Price funds for
temporary emergency purposes to facilitate redemption requests, or for other
purposes consistent with fund policies as set forth in this prospectus. Such
borrowings may be collateralized with fund assets, subject to restrictions.
Fundamental policy Borrowings may not exceed 331/3% of total assets.
Operating policy A fund will not transfer portfolio securities as collateral except as
necessary in connection with permissible borrowings or investments, and then such
transfers may not exceed 331/3% of total assets. A fund will not purchase additional
securities when borrowings exceed 5% of total assets.
Lending of Portfolio Securities
A fund may lend its securities to broker-dealers, other institutions, or other persons
to earn additional income. Risks include the potential insolvency of the broker-dealer
or other borrower that could result in delays in recovering securities and capital
T. ROWE PRICE 64
losses. Additionally, losses could result from the reinvestment of collateral received
on loaned securities in investments that default or do not perform as well as
expected.
Fundamental policy The value of loaned securities may not exceed 331/3% of total
assets.
Credit Quality Considerations
The credit quality of many fund holdings is evaluated by rating agencies such as
Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s), Standard & Poor’s Corporation (S&P),
and Fitch Ratings (Fitch) on the basis of the issuer’s ability to meet all required
interest and principal payments. The highest ratings are assigned to issuers perceived
to have the lowest credit risks. T. Rowe Price research analysts also evaluate fund
holdings, including those rated by outside agencies. Other things being equal, lower-
rated bonds and other debt obligations have higher yields due to greater credit risk.
High-yield bonds, also called “junk” bonds, are those rated below BBB.
Credit quality ratings are not guarantees. They are estimates of an issuer’s financial
strength and ability to make interest and principal payments as they come due.
Ratings can change at any time due to real or perceived changes in an issuer’s credit
or financial fundamentals.
The following table shows the rating scale used by the major rating agencies. T. Rowe
Price considers publicly available ratings but emphasizes its own credit analysis when
selecting investments.

Portfolio Turnover
Turnover is an indication of frequency of trading. A fund will not generally trade in
securities for short-term profits, but when circumstances warrant, securities may be
purchased and sold without regard to the length of time held. Each time a fund
purchases or sells a security, it incurs a cost. This cost is reflected in its net asset
value but not in its operating expenses. The higher the turnover rate, the higher the
transaction costs and the greater the impact on a fund’s total return. Higher turnover
can also increase the possibility of taxable capital gain distributions. The funds’
portfolio turnover rates are shown in the Financial Highlights table.
DISCLOSURE OF FUND PORTFOLIO INFORMATION
Each T. Rowe Price fund’s portfolio holdings are disclosed on a regular basis in its
semiannual and annual shareholder reports, and on Form N-Q, which is filed with
the SEC within 60 days of the fund’s first and third fiscal quarter-end. The money
funds also file detailed month-end portfolio holdings information with the SEC each
month. Such information will be made available to the public 60 days after the end of
the month to which the information pertains. In addition, the funds disclose their
calendar quarter-end portfolio holdings on troweprice.com 15 calendar days after
each quarter. Under certain conditions, up to 5% of a fund’s holdings may be
T. ROWE PRICE 66
included in this portfolio list without being individually identified. Generally,
securities would not be individually identified if they are being actively bought or
sold and it is determined that the quarter-end disclosure of the holding could be
harmful to the fund. A security will not be excluded for these purposes from a fund’s
quarter-end holdings disclosure for more than one year. Money funds also disclose
their month-end portfolio holdings on troweprice.com five business days after each
month. The quarter-end portfolio holdings will remain on the website for one year
and the month-end money fund portfolio holdings will remain on the website for six
months. Each fund also discloses its 10 largest holdings on troweprice.com on the
seventh business day after each month-end. These holdings are listed in alphabetical
order along with the aggregate percentage of the fund’s total assets that these 10
holdings represent. Each monthly top 10 list will remain on the website for six
months. A description of T. Rowe Price’s policies and procedures with respect to the
disclosure of portfolio information is in the Statement of Additional Information.
F INANCIAL HIGHLIGH TS
The Financial Highlights table, which provides information about each fund’s
financial history, is based on a single share outstanding throughout the periods
shown. Each fund’s section of the table is part of the fund’s financial statements,
which are included in its annual report and are incorporated by reference into the
Statement of Additional Information (available upon request). The total returns in the
table represent the rate that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment
in the fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions and no
payment of any applicable account or redemption fees). The financial statements in
the annual reports were audited by the funds’ independent registered public
accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

HIGHLIGHTS
• International bond markets delivered modestly positive returns in a
volatile six-month period ended June 30, 2012.
• The International Bond Fund outpaced the Barclays Global Aggregate
ex USD Bond Index but trailed its Lipper peer group average.
• The fund’s below investment-grade bonds, currency selection, and
sector and security selection all aided performance, but country and
duration positioning detracted.
• Developed markets will continue to struggle with burdensome debt
issues and sluggish economic growth, but healthy fiscal positions
and solid growth should continue to support demand for emerging
markets bonds.

Fellow Shareholders
Investors’ appetite for risk seemed to wax and wane with each news cycle over
the past six months, reflecting concerns about the European debt crisis, a slowing
recovery in the U.S., and the pace of China’s economic slowdown. Government
bonds in developed non-U.S. markets generated modest gains but underperformed
emerging market debt as investors sought more attractive yields.
The International Bond Fund returned 1.36% for the six months
ended June 30, 2012, out pacing the Barclays Global Aggregate ex USD
Bond Index but trailing its Lipper peer group average. (Returns for
the fund’s Advisor Class
shares varied slightly
due to their different fee
structure.) The fund’s
below investment-grade
bonds, currency selection,
and sector and security
selection all aided perfor-
mance, but country and
duration positioning
detracted from results.
MaRkET ENvIRONMENT
The first half of 2012 was a tale of two periods. Investor sentiment
was decidedly upbeat through the first three months of the year,
buoyed by positive economic and political developments. The U.S.
economic recovery was progressing nicely amid unexpected strength
in manufacturing and employment. The European Central Bank’s two
long-term refinancing operations (LTROs) signaled that Continental
policy makers were making progress in addressing the eurozone’s long-
running debt crisis, while China’s economy seemed to be cooling to
more sustainable growth rates in an orderly slowdown.

Performance Comparison

Risk aversion returned
in the second quarter,
however, amid signs
of a weakening global
econo my. Much of
Europe remained mired
in recession, and election
results in Greece and
France revealed wide-
spread discontent over
fiscal austerity measures
that further weakened
many of the region’s
economies. Mixed
economic data in the
U.S., including persis-
tently high unemploy-
ment, indicated that the
previously resilient recovery was starting to falter. China’s economy
slowed more than expected, with commodity-intensive fixed-asset
investment lagging last year’s growth and consumer spending starting
to struggle.
Government bonds in developed non-U.S. markets generated modest
gains in U.S. dollar terms in the last six months. Peripheral European
markets performed exceptionally well in the first quarter, helped by
bank purchases of sovereign debt using LTRO funds. Some of the
gains were eroded during the second quarter amid rising government
bond yields, especially in Italy and Spain. European investment-grade
corporate bonds produced strong returns thanks to one of the best
first quarters on record. While Germany and other highly rated bond
markets produced solid returns in local currency terms, returns in
dollar terms were trimmed by a stronger dollar versus the euro and
other major currencies.
Bonds in emerging markets fared considerably better than government
bonds in developed markets as yield-hungry investors sought opportu-
nities. Lower global growth prospects have eased inflationary concerns
in emerging markets, and the favorable fiscal positioning of many
emerging market sovereign issuers stands in contrast to the budget and
funding challenges faced by a number of developed market govern-
ments. U.S. dollar-denominated bonds performed somewhat better than
local currency bonds, as weakness among emerging markets currencies
reduced local bond returns in dollar terms.

Developed Markets Performance
Proof #4

The U.S. dollar strength-
ened against most
currencies over the
period as investors sought
higher-quality assets.
The euro weakened amid
the ongoing eurozone
sove reign debt crisis,
losing value against the
dollar and the yen. A
correction in commodity
prices, which was driven
by China’s slowing
economy and reduced global demand, contributed to the depreciation
of currencies like the Brazilian real and the South African rand. Within
Asia, the currencies of high-quality sovereign issuers such as South
Korea and Malaysia managed to stem the pressure of depreciation,
while the Indian rupee declined.
PORTFOLIO REvIEW aND POSITIONING
Allocations to below
investment-grade bonds
were the fund’s largest
performance contributors
over the period. Positions
in European high
yield and U.S. dollar-
denominated emerging
markets corporate
bonds were particularly
beneficial, due primarily to improved investor sentiment in the first
quarter of the year. Given our expectations for continued volatility
within European markets, we reduced overall portfolio risk by
decreasing our allocation to European high yield bonds but maintained
our exposure to U.S. dollar-denominated below investment-grade
emerging markets corporate bonds.
Currency selection also boosted performance over the six-month
period. A broad allocation to a basket of emerging markets currencies
and an overweight allocation to the Mexican peso were the largest
contributors. Underweight exposure to the euro, which depreciated
significantly over the period, also helped performance. An underweight

allocation to the British pound relative to the euro and overweight
allocations to the Brazilian real also weighed modestly on results. In
general, we have underweight or neutral allocations to most deve-
loped market currencies
in favor of emerging
markets, except for over-
weight allocations to
the Canadian dollar and
Norwegian krone. We
decreased exposure to
several developed market
currencies, including
the euro, the Australian
dollar, the British pound,
and the Japanese yen.
We continue to favor
southeast Asian and Latin
American currencies,
specifically the South
Korean won, Malaysian
ringgit, and Mexican peso.
We reduced our alloca-
tions to the Brazilian real
and Russian ruble, moving
from overweight to neutral positions, and reduced an overweight
allocation to the won. We increased our existing overweight exposure
to the Chinese renminbi and moved to an overweight position in the
Hong Kong dollar.
Sector and security selection also benefited returns. Our overweight
allocation to European investment-grade corporate bonds added
strongly to relative returns on the heels of exceptional first-quarter
performance. Allocations to investment-grade U.S. dollar-denominated
emerging markets sovereign and quasi-sovereign bonds, which are
not included in the benchmark, also contributed to results. We made
no significant changes to our allocation here and still believe that
these bonds are supported by positive fundamentals. We reduced our
overweight allocation to European investment-grade corporate bonds
on strength.
Country selection and duration positioning detracted modestly

again in June. Overweight allocations to Mexican, Brazilian, and South
African government bonds were positive and helped to offset some of
the negative impact. Off-benchmark allocations to emerging markets
bonds denominated in local currencies also helped. We believe that
low nominal yields and, in some regions, negative real (inflation-
adjusted) yields are likely to persist for some time. As a result, we are
maintaining an overall underweight duration position relative to the
benchmark, which means that the fund is less sensitive to interest
rate fluctuations versus the benchmark. We opened an overweight
position in Polish and South African government bonds and trimmed
our Mexican overweight exposure. We remain underweight to peri-
pheral European countries, with no exposure to Ireland and significant
underweight allocations to Italy and Spain.
OUTLOOk
The European debt crisis should continue to dominate headlines in
the near future. Plans to create greater fiscal unity and centralized
banking regulation, which were unveiled at the last European Union
policy summit in late June, were greeted with optimism by investors.
Although these latest measures were clearly seen as significant steps
toward eventual resolution of the crisis, what remains to be seen is
exactly how these plans will be implemented. A full resolution of the
Continent’s profound debt troubles will be a slow process accompa-
nied by significant market volatility, and investors and markets will be
monitoring the situation closely.

We expect little change in yields on European
investment-grade corporate bonds, and returns are
likely to be driven by attractive coupon rates. Below
investment-grade debt continues to offer attractive
valuations and will likely remain stable at current
yield levels for some time. Yields on emerging markets
sovereign bonds are somewhat lower than in previous
periods due to robust foreign demand and muted
inflation expectations, which have resulted in lower
interest rates. Developed market currencies are likely
to move closely with the U.S. dollar, perhaps with
the exception of the Japanese yen. We continue to hold emerging
markets local bonds and currencies as portfolio diversifiers, offering
the potential for significant appreciation as investors move capital from
slower-growing, lower-yielding developed market debt into markets
that offer better growth prospects and higher yields.
Effective security selection is becoming increasingly important as the
international bond market grows in size, complexity, and maturity.
We believe that the extended reach of T. Rowe Price’s global credit
and equity research platforms, combined with our emphasis on cross-
functional collaboration, gives our portfolio managers a critical edge in
evaluating opportunities and risks in the global bond market.

Risk of International Bond Investing
Funds that invest overseas generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S.
assets, including unpredictable changes in currency values. Investments in emerging
markets are subject to abrupt and severe price declines and should be regarded as
speculative. The economic and political structures of developing nations, in most cases,
do not compare favorably with the U.S. or other developed countries in terms of wealth
and stability, and their financial markets often lack liquidity. Some countries also
have legacies of hyperinflation, currency devaluations, and governmental interference
in markets.
International investments are subject to currency risk, a decline in the value of a foreign
currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denomi-
nated in that currency. The overall impact on a fund’s holdings can be significant and
long-lasting depending on the currencies represented in the portfolio, how each one
appreciates or depreciates in relation to the U.S. dollar, and whether currency positions
are hedged. Further, exchange rate movements are unpredictable and it is not possible
to effectively hedge the currency risks of many developing countries.
Bonds are also subject to interest rate risk, the decline in bond prices that usually
accompanies a rise in interest rates, and credit risk, the chance that any fund holding
could have its credit rating downgraded or that a bond issuer will default (fail to make
timely payments of interest or principal), potentially reducing the fund’s income level
and share price.

Glossary (continued)
Weighted average effective duration (years): A measure of a portfolio’s price sensitivity
to changes in interest rates. Portfolios with longer weighted average effective durations
are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities of shorter durations.
Weighted average maturity: A measure of a fund’s sensitivity to interest rates. In general,
the longer the average maturity, the greater the fund’s sensitivity to interest rate changes.
The weighted average maturity may take into account the interest rate readjustment dates
for certain securities. Money funds must maintain a weighted average maturity of less
than 60 days.

The expense ratio shown is as of the fund’s fiscal year ended 12/31/11. This number
may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on
a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers.
Expense Ratio
Fund Expense Example
As a mutual fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such
as redemption fees or sales loads, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distri-
bution and service (12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following example is intended
to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to com-
pare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is
based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the most recent six-month
period and held for the entire period.
Please note that the International Bond Fund has two share classes: The original share class
(Investor Class) charges no distribution and service (12b-1) fee, and the Advisor Class shares
are offered only through unaffiliated brokers and other financial intermediaries and charge a
0.25% 12b-1 fee. Each share class is presented separately in the table.
actual Expenses
The first line of the following table (Actual) provides information about actual account values
and expenses based on the fund’s actual returns. You may use the information on this line,
together with your account balance, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided
by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under the heading
“Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during
this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information on the second line of the table (hypothetical) is based on hypothetical
account values and expenses derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed
5% per year rate of return before expenses (not the fund’s actual return). You may compare
the ongoing costs of investing in the fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypo-
thetical example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of
the other funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate
the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
Proof #4

T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
Fund Expense Example (continued)
Note: T. Rowe Price charges an annual account service fee of $20, generally for accounts
with less than $10,000. The fee is waived for any investor whose T. Rowe Price mutual fund
accounts total $50,000 or more; accounts electing to receive electronic delivery of account
statements, transaction confirmations, prospectuses, and shareholder reports; or accounts
of an investor who is a T. Rowe Price Preferred Services, Personal Services, or Enhanced
Personal Services client (enrollment in these programs generally requires T. Rowe Price
assets of at least $100,000). This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are
subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of
investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.
You should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing
costs and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees or sales loads.
Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not
help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. To the extent a fund
charges transaction costs, however, the total cost of owning that fund is higher.

multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of
days in the most recent fiscal half year (182), and divided by the days in the year (366)
to reflect the half-year period. The annualized expense ratio of the Investor Class was
0.85%, and the Advisor Class was 1.16%.

Notes to Financial Statements
T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc. (the corporation), is registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). The International Bond
Fund (the fund) is a nondiversified, open-end management investment com-
pany established by the corporation. The fund seeks to provide high current
income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in high-quality,
nondollar-denominated bonds outside the U.S. The fund has two classes of
shares: the International Bond Fund original share class, referred to in this report
as the Investor Class, offered since September 10, 1986, and the International
Bond Fund–Advisor Class (Advisor Class), offered since March 31, 2000. Advisor
Class shares are sold only through unaffiliated brokers and other unaffiliated
financial intermediaries that are compensated by the class for distribution, share-
holder servicing, and/or certain administrative services under a Board-approved
Rule 12b-1 plan. Each class has exclusive voting rights on matters related solely
to that class; separate voting rights on matters that relate to both classes; and, in
all other respects, the same rights and obligations as the other class.
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICaNT aCCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation The accompanying financial statements were prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (GAAP), which require the use of estimates made by management.
Management believes that estimates and valuations are appropriate; however,
actual results may differ from those estimates, and the valuations reflected in
the accompanying financial statements may differ from the value ultimately
realized upon sale or maturity.
Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Distributions Income and
expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on debt
securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes. Paydown gains and
losses are recorded as an adjustment to interest income. Inflation adjustments
to the principal amount of inflation-indexed bonds are reflected as interest
income. Dividends received from mutual fund investments are reflected as
dividend income; capital gain distributions are reflected as realized gain/loss.
Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Income tax-related interest and penalties, if incurred, would be recorded
as income tax expense. Investment transactions are accounted for on the
trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis.
Proof #4
55
T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income
distributions are declared by each class daily and paid monthly. Capital gain
distributions, if any, are generally declared and paid by the fund annually.
Currency Translation Assets, including investments, and liabilities denomi-
nated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at
the prevailing exchange rate, using the mean of the bid and asked prices of
such currencies against U.S. dollars as quoted by a major bank. Purchases and
sales of securities, income, and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the
prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in
foreign currency exchange rates on realized and unrealized security gains and
losses is reflected as a component of security gains and losses.
Class accounting The Advisor Class pays distribution, shareholder servicing,
and/or certain administrative expenses in the form of Rule 12b-1 fees, in an
amount not exceeding 0.25% of the class’s average daily net assets. Shareholder
servicing, prospectus, and shareholder report expenses incurred by each class
are charged directly to the class to which they relate. Expenses common to both
classes and investment income are allocated to the classes based upon the rela-
tive daily net assets of each class’s settled shares; realized and unrealized gains
and losses are allocated based upon the relative daily net assets of each class’s
outstanding shares.
Credits The fund earns credits on temporarily uninvested cash balances held at
the custodian, which reduce the fund’s custody charges. Custody expense in the
accompanying financial statements is presented before reduction for credits.
Redemption Fees A 2% fee is assessed on redemptions of fund shares held
for 90 days or less to deter short-term trading and to protect the interests of
long-term shareholders. Redemption fees are withheld from proceeds that
shareholders receive from the sale or exchange of fund shares. The fees are
paid to the fund and are recorded as an increase to paid-in capital. The fees
may cause the redemption price per share to differ from the net asset value
per share.
In-kind Redemptions In accordance with guidelines described in the fund’s
prospectus, the fund may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as
payment for a redemption of fund shares (in-kind redemption). For finan-
cial reporting purposes, the fund recognizes a gain on in-kind redemptions
to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemp-
tion exceeds the cost of those securities. Gains and losses realized on in-kind
Proof #4
56
T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
redemptions are not recognized for tax purposes and are reclassified from
undistributed realized gain (loss) to paid-in capital. During the six months
ended June 30, 2012, the fund realized $750,000 of net loss on $10,784,000
of in-kind redemptions.
New accounting Pronouncements In May 2011, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued amended guidance to align fair value measure-
ment and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP with International Financial
Reporting Standards. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim
periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Adoption had no effect
on net assets or results of operations.
In December 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance to enhance disclosure
for offsetting assets and liabilities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Adoption will have no
effect on the fund’s net assets or results of operations.
NOTE 2 - vaLUaTION
The fund’s financial instruments are reported at fair value as defined by GAAP.
The fund determines the values of its assets and liabilities and computes each
class’s net asset value per share at the close of the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day that the NYSE is open for business.
valuation Methods Debt securities are generally traded in the over-the-counter
(OTC) market. Securities with remaining maturities of one year or more at the
time of acquisition are valued at prices furnished by dealers who make markets
in such securities or by an independent pricing service, which considers the
yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type, as
well as prices quoted by dealers who make markets in such securities. Securities
with remaining maturities of less than one year at the time of acquisition gener-
ally use amortized cost in local currency to approximate fair value. However, if
amortized cost is deemed not to reflect fair value or the fund holds a significant
amount of such securities with remaining maturities of more than 60 days, the
securities are valued at prices furnished by dealers who make markets in such
securities or by an independent pricing service.
Proof #4
57
T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund’s closing net asset
value per share on the day of valuation. Financial futures contracts are valued at
closing settlement prices. Forward currency exchange contracts are valued using
the prevailing forward exchange rate. Swaps are valued at prices furnished by
independent swap dealers or by an independent pricing service.
Other investments, including restricted securities and private placements,
and those financial instruments for which the above valuation procedures
are inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value, are stated at fair
value as determined in good faith by the T. Rowe Price Valuation Committee,
established by the fund’s Board of Directors (the Board). Subject to oversight
by the Board, the Valuation Committee develops pricing-related policies
and procedures and approves all fair-value determinations. The Valuation
Committee regularly makes good faith judgments, using a wide variety of
sources and information, to establish and adjust valuations of certain securi-
ties as events occur and circumstances warrant. For instance, in determining
the fair value of private-equity instruments, the Valuation Committee considers
a variety of factors, including the company’s business prospects, its financial
performance, strategic events impacting the company, relevant valuations of
similar companies, new rounds of financing, and any negotiated transactions of
significant size between other investors in the company. Because any fair-value
determination involves a significant amount of judgment, there is a degree of
subjectivity inherent in such pricing decisions.
valuation Inputs Various inputs are used to determine the value of the fund’s
financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels
listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments
Level 2 – observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices (including, but
not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk)
Level 3 – unobservable inputs
Proof #4
58
T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
Observable inputs are those based on market data obtained from sources inde-
pendent of the fund, and unobservable inputs reflect the fund’s own assumptions
based on the best information available. The input levels are not necessarily an
indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that
level. The following table summarizes the fund’s financial instruments, based on
the inputs used to determine their values on June 30, 2012:

NOTE 3 - DERIvaTIvE INSTRUMENTS
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the fund invested in derivative
instruments. As defined by GAAP, a derivative is a financial instrument whose
value is derived from an underlying security price, foreign exchange rate, interest
rate, index of prices or rates, or other variable; it requires little or no initial invest-
ment and permits or requires net settlement. The fund invests in derivatives only
if the expected risks and rewards are consistent with its investment objectives,
Proof #4
59
T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
policies, and overall risk profile, as described in its prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information. The fund may use derivatives for a variety of purposes,
such as seeking to hedge against declines in principal value, increase yield, invest
in an asset with greater efficiency and at a lower cost than is possible through
direct investment, or to adjust portfolio duration and credit exposure. The risks
associated with the use of derivatives are different from, and potentially much
greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the instruments on
which the derivatives are based. Investments in derivatives can magnify returns
positively or negatively; however, the fund at all times maintains sufficient cash
reserves, liquid assets, or other SEC-permitted asset types to cover the settlement
obligations under its open derivative contracts.
The fund values its derivatives at fair value, as described below and in Note 2,
and recognizes changes in fair value currently in its results of operations.
Accordingly, the fund does not follow hedge accounting, even for derivatives
employed as economic hedges. The fund does not offset the fair value of deriva-
tive instruments against the right to reclaim or obligation to return collateral.
The following table summarizes the fair value of the fund’s derivative instru-
ments held as of June 30, 2012, and the related location on the accompanying
Statement of Assets and Liabilities, presented by primary underlying
risk exposure:

Forward Currency Exchange Contracts The fund is subject to foreign currency
exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives.
It uses forward currency exchange contracts (forwards) primarily to protect
its non-U.S. dollar-denominated holdings from adverse currency movements
and to gain exposure to currencies for the purposes of risk management or
enhanced return. A forward involves an obligation to purchase or sell a fixed
amount of a specific currency on a future date at a price set at the time of the
contract. Although certain forwards may be settled by exchanging only the
net gain or loss on the contract, most forwards are settled with the exchange
of the underlying currencies in accordance with the specified terms. Forwards
are valued at the unrealized gain or loss on the contract, which reflects the
net amount the fund either is entitled to receive or obligated to deliver, as
measured by the difference between the forward exchange rates at the date of
entry into the contract and the forward rates at the reporting date. Appreciated
Proof #4
61
T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
forwards are reflected as assets, and depreciated forwards are reflected as liabili-
ties on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Risks related to
the use of forwards include the possible failure of counterparties to meet the
terms of the agreements; that anticipated currency movements will not occur,
thereby reducing the fund’s total return; and the potential for losses in excess
of the fund’s initial investment. During the six months ended June 30, 2012,
the fund’s exposure to forwards, based on underlying notional amounts, was
generally between 28% and 35% of net assets.
Futures Contracts The fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course
of pursuing its investment objectives and uses futures contracts to help manage
such risk. The fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to
interest rate and yield curve movements, security prices, foreign currencies,
credit quality, and mortgage prepayments; as an efficient means of adjusting
exposure to all or part of a target market; to enhance income; as a cash
management tool; and/or to adjust portfolio duration and credit exposure.
A futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and purchase by
another of a specified amount of a particular underlying financial instrument at
an agreed-upon price, date, time, and place. The fund currently invests only in
exchange-traded futures, which generally are standardized as to maturity date,
underlying financial instrument, and other contract terms. The fund is required
to deposit with the broker cash or securities in an amount sufficient to cause
the value of its account to equal a specified percentage of the aggregate value of
the fund’s futures contracts with that broker (margin requirement). The margin
requirement must then be maintained at the established level over the life of the
contract and is restricted from withdrawal by the fund; however, any amounts
in excess of the margin requirement may be withdrawn at the fund’s election.
Fluctuations in the value of a futures contract reflect changes in the value of
the underlying financial instrument and are recorded as unrealized gain or
loss until the contract is closed. The value of a futures contract included in net
assets is the cumulative amount of unrealized gain or loss; appreciated contracts
are reflected as assets and depreciated contracts are reflected as liabilities on
the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, cash and
currencies held by the broker are reflected as deposits on futures contracts.
Risks related to the use of futures contracts include possible illiquidity of the
futures markets, contract prices that can be highly volatile and imperfectly
correlated to movements in hedged security values and/or interest rates, and
potential losses in excess of the fund’s initial investment. During the six months
ended June 30, 2012, the fund’s exposure to futures, based on underlying
notional amounts, was generally between 4% and 5% of net assets.
Proof #4
62
T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
Swaps The fund is subject to interest rate risk, credit risk, and inflation risk
in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and uses swap
contracts to help manage such risks. The fund may use swaps in an effort to
manage exposure to changes in interest rates, inflation rates, and credit quality;
to adjust overall exposure to certain markets; to enhance total return or protect
the value of portfolio securities; to serve as a cash management tool; and/or to
adjust portfolio duration and credit exposure. The value of a swap included
in net assets is the unrealized gain or loss on the contract plus or minus any
unamortized premiums paid or received, respectively. Appreciated swaps and
premiums paid are reflected as assets, and depreciated swaps and premiums
received are reflected as liabilities on the accompanying Statement of Assets and
Liabilities. Net periodic receipts or payments required by swaps are accrued
daily and are recorded as realized gain or loss for financial reporting purposes
when settled; fluctuations in the fair value of swaps are reflected in the change
in net unrealized gain or loss and are reclassified to realized gain or loss upon
termination prior to maturity or cash settlement.
Interest rate swaps are agreements to exchange cash flows based on the dif-
ference between specified interest rates applied to a notional principal amount
for a specified period of time. Risks related to the use of interest rate swaps
include the potential for unanticipated movements in interest and/or currency
rates, the possible failure of a counterparty to perform in accordance with the
terms of the swap agreements, potential government regulation that could
adversely affect the fund’s swap investments, and potential losses in excess of
the fund’s initial investment.
Credit default swaps are agreements where one party (the protection buyer)
agrees to make periodic payments to another party (the protection seller) in
exchange for protection against specified credit events, such as certain defaults
and bankruptcies related to an underlying credit instrument, or issuer or index
of such instruments. Upon occurrence of a specified credit event, the protection
seller is required to pay the buyer the difference between the notional amount
of the swap and the value of the underlying credit, either in the form of a net
cash settlement or by paying the gross notional amount and accepting delivery
of the relevant underlying credit. For credit default swaps where the underlying
credit is an index, a specified credit event may affect all or individual under-
lying securities included in the index and will be settled based upon the relative
weighting of the affected underlying security(s) within the index. Risks related
to the use of credit default swaps include the possible inability of the fund to
accurately assess the current and future creditworthiness of underlying issuers,
Proof #4
63
T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
the possible failure of a counterparty to perform in accordance with the terms
of the swap agreements, potential government regulation that could adversely
affect the fund’s swap investments, and potential losses in excess of the fund’s
initial investment.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the fund’s exposure to swaps,
based on underlying notional amounts, was generally less than 1% of net assets.
NOTE 4 - OTHER INvESTMENT TRaNSaCTIONS
Consistent with its investment objective, the fund engages in the following
practices to manage exposure to certain risks and/or to enhance perfor-
mance. The investment objective, policies, program, and risk factors of the
fund are described more fully in the fund’s prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information.
Emerging Markets At June 30, 2012, approximately 20% of the fund’s net assets
were invested, either directly or through investments in T. Rowe Price institu-
tional funds, in securities of companies located in emerging markets, securities
issued by governments of emerging market countries, and/or securities denomi-
nated in or linked to the currencies of emerging market countries. Emerging
market securities are often subject to greater price volatility, less liquidity, and
higher rates of inflation than U.S. securities. In addition, emerging markets may
be subject to greater political, economic, and social uncertainty, and differing
regulatory environments that may potentially impact the fund’s ability to buy or
sell certain securities or repatriate proceeds to U.S. dollars.
Restricted Securities The fund may invest in securities that are subject to
legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Prompt sale of such securities at
an acceptable price may be difficult and may involve substantial delays and
additional costs.
Counterparty Risk and Collateral The fund has entered into collateral agree-
ments with certain counterparties to mitigate counterparty risk associated
with certain over-the-counter (OTC) financial instruments, including swaps,
forward currency exchange contracts, TBA purchase commitments, and OTC
options (collectively, covered OTC instruments). Subject to certain minimum
exposure requirements (which typically range from $100,000 to $500,000),
collateral requirements generally are determined and transfers made based on
the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on all OTC instruments covered by a
Proof #4
64
T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
particular collateral agreement with a specified counterparty. Collateral, both
pledged by the fund to a counterparty and pledged by a counterparty to the
fund, is held in a segregated account by a third-party agent and can be in the
form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agen-
cies. Securities posted as collateral by the fund to a counterparty are so noted in
the accompanying Portfolio of Investments and remain in the fund’s assets. As
of June 30, 2012, no collateral had been posted by the fund to counterparties
for covered OTC instruments. Collateral pledged by counterparties to the fund
is not included in the fund’s assets because the fund does not obtain effective
control over those assets. As of June 30, 2012, collateral pledged by counter-
parties to the fund for covered OTC instruments consisted of securities valued
at $14,462,000.
At any point in time, the fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on
covered OTC instruments is the aggregate unrealized gain on appreciated
covered OTC instruments in excess of collateral, if any, pledged by the counter-
party to the fund. In accordance with the terms of the relevant derivatives
agreements, counterparties to OTC derivatives may be able to terminate deriva-
tive contracts prior to maturity after the occurrence of certain stated events,
such as a decline in net assets above a certain percentage or a failure by the fund
to perform its obligations under the contract. Upon termination, all transactions
would typically be liquidated and a net amount would be owed by or payable
to the fund. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded futures and options
contracts is minimal because the exchange’s clearinghouse provides protection
against counterparty defaults. Generally, for exchange-traded derivatives such
as futures and options, each broker, in its sole discretion, may change margin
requirements applicable to the fund. As of June 30, 2012, cash of $4,223,000
had been posted by the fund to the broker for exchange-traded derivatives.
Other Purchases and sales of portfolio securities other than short-term secu-
rities aggregated $1,244,185,000 and $1,488,189,000, respectively, for the
six months ended June 30, 2012.
NOTE 5 - FEDERaL INCOME TaxES
No provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to
continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M
of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its taxable
income and gains. Distributions determined in accordance with federal income
tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income
Proof #4
65
T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records
are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character but are
not adjusted for temporary differences. The amount and character of tax-basis
distributions and composition of net assets are finalized at fiscal year-end;
accordingly, tax-basis balances have not been determined as of the date of
this report.
The fund intends to retain realized gains to the extent of available capital loss
carryforwards. Net realized capital losses may be carried forward indefinitely
to offset future realized capital gains. As of December 31, 2011, the fund had
$28,378,000 of available capital loss carryforwards.
At June 30, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was
$4,868,472,000. Net unrealized gain aggregated $35,050,000 at period-end,
of which $197,564,000 related to appreciated investments and $162,514,000
related to depreciated investments.
NOTE 6 - RELaTED PaRTY TRaNSaCTIONS
The fund is managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Price Associates),
a wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (Price Group).
Price Associates has entered into a subadvisory agreement T. Rowe Price
International Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Price Associates, to provide
investment advisory services to the fund; the subadvisory agreement provides
that Price Associates may pay the subadvisor up to 60% of the management
fee that Price Associates receives from the fund. The investment management
agreement between the fund and Price Associates provides for an annual invest-
ment management fee, which is computed daily and paid monthly. The fee
consists of an individual fund fee, equal to 0.35% of the fund’s average daily
net assets, and a group fee. The group fee rate is calculated based on the com-
bined net assets of certain mutual funds sponsored by Price Associates (the
group) applied to a graduated fee schedule, with rates ranging from 0.48% for
the first $1 billion of assets to 0.28% for assets in excess of $300 billion. The
fund’s group fee is determined by applying the group fee rate to the fund’s
average daily net assets. At June 30, 2012, the effective annual group fee rate
was 0.30%.
In addition, the fund has entered into service agreements with Price Associates
and two wholly owned subsidiaries of Price Associates (collectively, Price).
Price Associates computes the daily share prices and provides certain other

administrative services to the fund. T. Rowe Price Services, Inc., provides
shareholder and administrative services in its capacity as the fund’s transfer
and dividend disbursing agent. T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc.,
provides sub accounting and recordkeeping services for certain retirement
accounts invested in the Investor Class. For the six months ended June 30,
2012, expenses incurred pursuant to these service agreements were $87,000
for Price Associates; $421,000 for T. Rowe Price Services, Inc.; and $29,000
for T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. The total amount payable at
period-end pursuant to these service agreements is reflected as Due to Affiliates
in the accompanying financial statements.
The fund is also one of several mutual funds sponsored by Price Associates
(underlying Price funds) in which the T. Rowe Price Spectrum Funds (Spectrum
Funds) and T. Rowe Price Retirement Funds (Retirement Funds) may invest.
Neither the Spectrum Funds nor the Retirement Funds invest in the underlying
Price funds for the purpose of exercising management or control. Pursuant to
separate special servicing agreements, expenses associated with the operation of
the Spectrum and Retirement Funds are borne by each under lying Price fund
to the extent of estimated savings to it and in proportion to the average daily
value of its shares owned by the Spectrum and Retirement Funds, respectively.
Expenses allocated under these agreements are reflected as shareholder servicing
expenses in the accompanying financial statements. For the six months ended
June 30, 2012, the fund was allocated $508,000 of Spectrum Funds’ expenses
and $1,085,000 of Retirement Funds’ expenses. Of these amounts, $943,000
related to services provided by Price. The amount payable at period-end
pursuant to this agreement is reflected as Due to Affiliates in the accompanying
financial statements. At June 30, 2012, approximately 13% of the outstanding
shares of the Investor Class were held by the Spectrum Funds and 24% were
held by the Retirement Funds.
The fund may invest in the T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Fund and the
T. Rowe Price Government Reserve Investment Fund (collectively, the T. Rowe
Price Reserve Investment Funds), open-end management investment companies
managed by Price Associates and considered affiliates of the fund. The T. Rowe
Price Reserve Investment Funds are offered as cash management options
to mutual funds, trusts, and other accounts managed by Price Associates
and/or its affiliates and are not available for direct purchase by members of
the public. The T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Funds pay no investment
management fees.

T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
Approval of Investment Management Agreement and
Subadvisory Agreement
On March 6, 2012, the fund’s Board of Directors (Board), including a majority of the
fund’s independent directors, approved the continuation of the investment management
agreement (Advisory Contract) between the fund and its investment advisor, T. Rowe
Price Associates, Inc. (Advisor), as well as the continuation of the investment subadvisory
agreement (Subadvisory Contract) that the Advisor has entered into with T. Rowe Price
International Ltd (Subadvisor) on behalf of the fund. In connection with its deliberations,
the Board requested, and the Advisor provided, such information as the Board (with
advice from independent legal counsel) deemed reasonably necessary. The Board
considered a variety of factors in connection with its review of the Advisory Contract and
Subadvisory Contract, also taking into account information provided by the Advisor during
the course of the year, as discussed below:
Services Provided by the advisor and Subadvisor
The Board considered the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided to the fund
by the Advisor and Subadvisor. These services included, but were not limited to, directing
the fund’s investments in accordance with its investment program and the overall manage-
ment of the fund’s portfolio, as well as a variety of related activities such as financial,
investment operations, and administrative services; compliance; maintaining the fund’s
records and registrations; and shareholder communications. The Board also reviewed
the background and experience of the Advisor’s and Subadvisor’s senior management
teams and investment personnel involved in the management of the fund, as well as the
Advisor’s compliance record. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature,
quality, and extent of the services provided by the Advisor and Subadvisor.
Investment Performance of the Fund
The Board reviewed the fund’s average annual total returns over the three-month and 1-,
3-, 5-, and 10-year periods, as well as the fund’s year-by-year returns, and compared these
returns with a wide variety of previously agreed upon comparable performance measures
and market data, including those supplied by Lipper and Morningstar, which are indepen-
dent providers of mutual fund data.
On the basis of this evaluation and the Board’s ongoing review of investment results, and
factoring in the relative market conditions during certain of the performance periods, the
Board concluded that the fund’s performance was satisfactory.
Costs, Benefits, Profits, and Economies of Scale
The Board reviewed detailed information regarding the revenues received by the Advisor
under the Advisory Contract and other benefits that the Advisor (and its affiliates, including
the Subadvisor) may have realized from its relationship with the fund, including any
research received under “soft dollar” agreements and commission-sharing arrangements
with broker-dealers. The Board considered that the Advisor and Subadvisor may receive
some benefit from soft-dollar arrangements pursuant to which research is received from
Proof #4
69
T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
Approval of Investment Management Agreement and
Subadvisory Agreement (continued)
broker-dealers that execute the applicable fund’s portfolio transactions. The Board
received information on the estimated costs incurred and profits realized by the Advisor
from managing T. Rowe Price mutual funds. The Board also reviewed estimates of the
profits realized from managing the fund in particular, and the Board concluded that the
Advisor’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the fund.
The Board also considered whether the fund benefits under the fee levels set forth in the
Advisory Contract from any economies of scale realized by the Advisor. Under the Advisory
Contract, the fund pays a fee to the Advisor for investment management services com-
posed of two components—a group fee rate based on the combined average net assets of
most of the T. Rowe Price mutual funds (including the fund) that declines at certain asset
levels and an individual fund fee rate based on the fund’s average daily net assets—and
the fund pays its own expenses of operations. Under the Subadvisory Contract, the Advisor
may pay the Subadvisor up to 60% of the advisory fee that the Advisor receives from the
fund. The Board concluded that the advisory fee structure for the fund continued to provide
for a reasonable sharing of benefits from any economies of scale with the fund’s investors.
Fees
The Board was provided with information regarding industry trends in management
fees and expenses and the Board reviewed the fund’s management fee rate, operating
expenses, and total expense ratio for the Investor Class and Advisor Class in comparison
with fees and expenses of other comparable funds based on information and data supplied
by Lipper. The information provided to the Board indicated that the fund’s management fee
rate was above the median for certain groups of comparable funds but below the median
for other groups of comparable funds. The information also indicated that the fund’s total
expense ratio for the Investor Class was above the median for certain groups of comparable
funds but below the median for other groups of comparable funds, and the total expense
ratio for the Advisor Class was above the median for certain groups of comparable funds
but at or below the median for other groups of comparable funds.
The Board also reviewed the fee schedules for institutional accounts and private accounts
with similar mandates that are advised or subadvised by the Advisor and its affiliates.
Management provided the Board with information about the Advisor’s responsibilities
and services provided to institutional account clients, including information about how
the requirements and economics of the institutional business are fundamentally different
from those of the mutual fund business. The Board considered information showing
that the mutual fund business is generally more complex from a business and compli-
ance perspective than the institutional business and that the Advisor generally performs
significant additional services and assumes greater risk in managing the fund and other
T. Rowe Price mutual funds than it does for institutional account clients.

T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund
Approval of Investment Management Agreement and
Subadvisory Agreement (continued)
On the basis of the information provided and the factors considered, the Board concluded
that the fees paid by the fund under the Advisory Contract are reasonable.
approval of the advisory Contract and Subadvisory Contract
As noted, the Board approved the continuation of the Advisory Contract and Subadvisory
Contract. No single factor was considered in isolation or to be determinative to the deci-
sion. Rather, the Board concluded, in light of a weighting and balancing of all factors
considered, that it was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders for the Board
to approve the continuation of the Advisory Contract and Subadvisory Contract (including
the fees to be charged for services thereunder). The independent directors were advised
throughout the process by independent legal counsel.

Smart Ladder CDs
Opening CDs that mature at different times can help to hedge against sharp swings
in interest rates. This approach, known as CD laddering, generally lets you lock
in higher rates with the longer-maturity CDs if rates fall. However, if rates rise
again in the next few years, you’ll have money available to invest from CDs with
upcoming maturities.
Smart Ladder CDs offer a convenient way to create a CD ladder. With a minimum
deposit of $25,000 and a single application, we’ll set up your CD ladder, manage
the annual renewals, and offer you the highest current interest rates based on your
total minimum deposit and applicable terms.

provides a simple way to support your favorite charities while achieving attractive
tax savings.
The Program lets you do all your charitable giving through one convenient account.
Our donor relations specialists take care of the administrative details, so you spend
less time writing checks and keeping records.
Lock in your charitable deduction now.
You can establish a Program account with a minimum contribution of $10,000 or
more. Your contributions are fully deductible (up to allowable IRS limits) in the tax
year when they are made. Donation amounts above IRS limits can be carried over
and deducted in future years.
The Program also makes it easy to contribute long-term appreciated securities. You
simply transfer the securities in kind to your Program account. You can deduct the
full market value and do not have to pay capital gains taxes.
Recommend grants to support your favorite charities.
Once your account is established, you have the flexibility to recommend grants to
your favorite charities whenever you like—this year or in the future. The Program
confirms that your charity qualifies for a grant and is in good standing with the IRS.
Benefit from the investment expertise of T. Rowe Price.
You advise how your account’s balance is invested among six professionally managed
investment pools. This means your donations have the potential to grow over time
and produce additional funds for your charities. All investment pools are subject to
market risk, including possible loss of principal.
Save with low fees.
The Program’s administrative fees are among the lowest in the industry, and there is
no minimum annual fee. Since you also will save with low investment management
fees, there is the potential for more money to be available for your charities.
It’s easy to start giving more efficiently with the Program.

SUMMARY
PROSPECTUS
RPIBX
May 1, 2013
T. Rowe Price
International Bond Fund
A fund seeking high income and capital appreciation through investments primarily
in high-quality foreign bonds.
Before you invest, you may want to review the fund’s prospectus, which contains more information
about the fund and its risks. You can find the fund’s prospectus and other information about the fund
online at troweprice.com/prospectus. You can also get this information at no cost by calling
1-800-225-5132 or by sending an e-mail request to info@troweprice.com. This Summary Prospectus
incorporates by reference the fund’s prospectus, dated May 1, 2013, and Statement of Additional
Information, dated May 1, 2013.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these securities or passed
upon the adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
SUMMARY 1
Investment Objective
The fund seeks to provide high current income and capital appreciation by investing
primarily in high-quality, nondollar-denominated bonds outside the U.S.
Fees and Expenses
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold
shares of the fund.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
Shareholder fees (fees paid directly from your investment)
Maximum sales charge (load) imposed on
purchases NONE
Maximum deferred sales charge (load) NONE
Redemption fee (as a percentage of amount
redeemed on shares held for 90 days or less) 2.00%
Maximum account fee $20
a
Annual fund operating expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a
percentage of the value of your investment)
Management fees 0.65%
Distribution and service (12b-1) fees 0.00%
Other expenses 0.19%
Total annual fund operating expenses 0.84%
a Subject to certain exceptions, accounts with a balance of less than $10,000 are charged an annual $20 fee.
Example This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the
fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you
invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your
shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment
has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your
costs would be:
1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years
$86 $268 $466 $1,037
Portfolio Turnover The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it
buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover
rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual
fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the
T. ROWE PRICE 2
most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 52.2% of the average
value of its portfolio.
Investments, Risks, and Performance
Principal Investment Strategies Normally, the fund will invest at least 80% of its net
assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) in foreign bonds and 65%
of its net assets in foreign bonds that are rated within the three highest credit
categories (i.e., A- or equivalent, or better), as determined by at least one major credit
rating agency or, if unrated, deemed to be of comparable quality by T. Rowe Price. If
a bond is split-rated (i.e., assigned different ratings by different credit rating
agencies), the higher rating will be used. The fund may invest up to 20% of its total
assets in “junk” bonds that have received a below investment-grade rating (i.e., BB or
equivalent, or lower) from each of the rating agencies that has assigned a rating to the
bond (or, if unrated, deemed to be below investment-grade quality by T. Rowe
Price), including those in default or with the lowest rating. Up to 20% of total assets
may be invested in U.S. dollar-denominated foreign bonds, such as Brady bonds and
other emerging markets bonds.
Although the fund expects to maintain an intermediate- to long-term weighted
average maturity, there are no maturity restrictions on the overall portfolio or on
individual securities. The fund has wide flexibility to purchase and sell currencies
and engage in hedging transactions. However, we normally do not attempt to
cushion the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on the U.S. dollar. Therefore, the
fund is likely to be heavily exposed to the risk of bonds denominated in foreign
currencies.
Investment decisions are based on fundamental market factors, such as yield and
credit quality differences among bonds as well as supply and demand trends and
currency values. The fund generally invests in securities where the combination of
fixed-income returns and currency exchange rates appears attractive or, if the
currency trend is unfavorable, where we believe the currency risk can be minimized
through hedging. The fund sells holdings for a variety of reasons, such as to adjust
the portfolio’s average maturity or credit quality, to shift assets into and out of
higher-yielding securities, or to alter geographic or currency exposure.
The fund is “nondiversified,” meaning it may invest a greater portion of its assets in
fewer issuers than is permissible for a “diversified” fund.
While most assets will be invested in bonds, the fund may enter into forward
currency exchange contracts in keeping with the fund’s objectives. Forward currency
exchange contracts would primarily be used to help protect the fund’s holdings from
unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, although other currency
hedging techniques may be used from time to time.
Principal Risks As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the fund will
achieve its objective. The fund’s share price fluctuates, which means you could lose
SUMMARY 3
money by investing in the fund. The principal risks of investing in this fund are
summarized as follows:
Active management risk The fund is subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s
judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the fund’s
investments may prove to be incorrect. If the securities selected and strategies
employed by the fund fail to produce the intended results, the fund could
underperform other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies.
International investing risk Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involves
special risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities. International
securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities
and may lose value because of adverse political, social, or economic developments
overseas. In addition, international investments may be subject to regulatory and
accounting standards that differ from those of the U.S.
Emerging markets risk The risks of international investing are heightened for
securities of issuers in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries tend to
have economic structures that are less diverse and mature, and political systems that
are less stable, than those of developed countries. In addition to all of the risks of
investing in international developed markets, emerging markets are more susceptible
to governmental interference, local taxes being imposed on international investments,
restrictions on gaining access to sales proceeds, and less liquid and efficient trading
markets.
Currency risk Because the fund generally invests in securities issued in foreign
currencies, the fund is subject to the risk that it could experience losses based solely
on the weakness of foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar and changes in the
exchange rates between such currencies and the U.S. dollar. Any attempts at currency
hedging may not be successful and could cause the fund to lose money.
Credit risk This is the risk that an issuer of a debt security could suffer an adverse
change in financial condition that results in a payment default, security downgrade,
or inability to meet a financial obligation. The fund’s overall credit risk is increased to
the extent the fund invests in emerging markets bonds or bonds rated below
investment-grade. Such investments carry a higher risk of default and should be
considered speculative.
Interest rate risk This risk refers to the chance that interest rates will increase,
causing a decline in bond prices. (Bond prices and interest rates usually move in
opposite directions.) Generally, securities with longer maturities and funds with
longer weighted average maturities carry greater interest rate risk.
Liquidity risk This is the risk that the fund may not be able to sell a holding in a
timely manner at a desired price.
Nondiversification risk As a nondiversified fund, the fund has the ability to invest a
larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a
T. ROWE PRICE 4
diversified fund. As a result, poor performance by a single issuer could adversely
affect fund performance more than if the fund were invested in a larger number of
issuers. The fund’s share price can be expected to fluctuate more than that of a
comparable diversified fund.
Derivatives risk To the extent the fund uses forward currency exchange contracts, it
is exposed to greater volatility and losses in comparison to investing directly in
foreign bonds. Forward currency exchange contracts are also subject to the risks that
anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted, a counterparty will
fail to perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement, and the chance that
potential government regulation could negatively affect the fund’s investments in
such instruments.
Performance The bar chart showing calendar year returns and the average annual
total returns table indicate risk by illustrating how much returns can differ from one
year to the next and how fund performance compares with that of a comparable
market index. The fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily
an indication of future performance.

HIGHLIGHTS
• Asian stock markets rose modestly over the past year as gains racked
up in the first half offset subsequent weakness stemming from slowing
global growth. Corporate earnings declined as growth across Asia
slowed in 2012 from the preceding two years.
• The New Asia Fund advanced for the six and 12 months ended
October 31, 2012, exceeding its benchmark index and Lipper peer
group average over both periods.
• We anticipate that Europe’s debt crisis, China’s economic health, and
the pace of the U.S. recovery will shape investor sentiment and demand
for Asian stocks in the near term. However, we have high confidence
in Asia’s long-term growth outlook as incomes and living standards
improve over time.

Fellow Shareholders
Asian stock markets advanced for the year ended October 31, 2012, as gains in the
first half outweighed declines in subsequent months as the global economic outlook
deteriorated. China’s economy weakened faster than many investors had expected,
while India struggled with high inflation and slowing growth. Europe’s ongoing debt
crisis and a patchy U.S. recovery weighed on the trade-driven economies of South
Korea and Taiwan. However, sentiment improved toward the end of our reporting
period after many central banks took steps to stimulate growth, and economic
indicators worldwide finally showed signs of a recovery.
The New Asia Fund
returned 1.88% and
9.98% for the six and
12 months ended
October 31, 2012,
respectively. The fund’s
performance widely
surpassed that of its
benchmark, the MSCI
All Country Asia ex Japan
Index, and the Lipper
Pacific Ex Japan Funds Average over the 12-month period. For the
year, stock selection led by South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, and
Indonesia drove most of the outperformance, while country allocations
also lifted relative returns.
From a sector viewpoint, materials, industrials and business services,
and consumer staples were the top contributors to relative results.
In terms of absolute performance, financials was the top contributor,
while consumer discretionary stocks detracted the most. China remains
the fund’s largest country position, but we significantly reduced our
exposure. We maintained our overweight to India and added to

MaRkET ENvIRONMENT
Since our last report at the end of April, worries about Europe’s
inability to solve its debt crisis and uncertainty about the strength
of the U.S. recovery continued to dictate the direction of financial
markets. Against this volatile backdrop, two events in September drove
global stock markets sharply higher: first, the European Central Bank’s
announcement that it would make unlimited purchases of short-term
bonds issued by troubled
euro members, subject to
certain conditions; and
second, the U.S. Federal
Reserve’s announcement
of its latest round of
quantitative easing and
the extension of its low
interest rate policy.
Country performance
varied widely across the
region. For the year,
China’s market rose even
as its economy decelerated
due to slumping overseas
demand and a drop in
fixed asset investment
spending. In response, China’s government reduced its official annual
growth target, cut interest rates twice over the summer, and stepped
up infrastructure spending. The stimulus efforts finally appeared to
have paid off, as data released in October showed that some pockets of
China’s economy picked up. India, the region’s second-largest market,
declined and was the year’s worst performer. India struggled with a
host of problems, including high inflation, widening budget and trade
deficits, currency weakness, and political paralysis that has impeded
reforms. Rising inflation kept India’s central bank from cutting interest
rates even as many other central banks loosened policy over the period.

Market Performance
3However, India announced a series of reforms in September aimed at
reviving growth and luring overseas investment, including allowing
more foreign investment in retailing and other industries.
South Korea and Taiwan, whose economies depend heavily on
external demand, eked out slim gains for the year even as weakness
in Europe and the U.S. weighed on global trade. Taiwan repeatedly
cut its 2012 growth forecast, while South Korea’s economy nearly
ground to a halt in the third quarter, spurring its central bank to cut
interest rates in October for the second time this year. Thailand and
the Philippines were the year’s best performers, surging roughly 24%
and 32%, respectively. Thailand’s economy is benefiting from surging
domestic consumption and investment driven by government spending
after devastating floods hit the country in October 2011. Stocks in the
Philippines have benefited from strong investor inflows as economic
growth quickened over the past year, raising hopes that the country is
entering a period of sustained investment.
PORTfOLIO REvIEW
Developed asia
Developed Asia encompasses the more mature markets of Hong Kong,
Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. Since the global financial crisis
of late 2008, our exposure to these markets has risen to roughly 45%
of the fund at period-end, though we are underweight these areas
compared with the benchmark. Developed Asia is home to several
Asian companies like Samsung Electronics and Hyundai Motor that
are gaining global market share in their respective industries, but also
Western companies that are listed on Asian exchanges and derive an
important portion of their revenue from the region, such as French
personal care products company L’OCCITANE and luggage maker
Samsonite. Several businesses with excellent management teams, solid
balance sheets, and diversified earnings sources that are well placed to
navigate a volatile environment are based in developed Asia, including
Jardine Matheson, a diversified pan-Asian group whose businesses
include real estate development, financial services, and luxury hotels.
(Please refer to the portfolio of investments for a complete list of
holdings and the amount each represents in the portfolio.)
Our developed Asia holdings lifted relative performance for the year.
South Korea was the top contributor to relative returns thanks to
strong stock selection led by Samsung Electronics. Shares of Samsung
surged over the period as the company posted a string of record
4quarterly profits due to strong sales of its Galaxy mobile phones. We
have a high level of conviction in Samsung as more people upgrade to
smartphones and prices rebound for certain kinds of memory chips
that Samsung produces. In Taiwan, our holdings in custom chip maker
Taiwan Semiconductor ranked among the fund’s biggest contributors
as it benefited from the worldwide boom in mobile devices. We have a
high level of confidence in the company and think it has many years of
solid growth as smartphones and other mobile gadgets become more
widespread and feature more complex applications. In Singapore, oil
services and utilities business SembCorp Industries benefited from
growing global demand for drilling equipment while conglomerate
Fraser & Neave, whose businesses include soft drinks and real estate,
received an unsolicited takeover offer in September, leading us to
eliminate the position after a strong run in the shares.
Southeast asia
Our stock selection in Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines
contributed strongly to relative performance. Stable political leader-
ship and sound macroeconomic policies in recent years have improved
the investment climate in these countries; as a result, interest rates
and the cost of doing business have declined, raising expectations
that Southeast Asia is on the cusp of an investment upswing for the
first time since the 1997
regional currency crisis.
Indonesia was an early
beneficiary of this virtuous
cycle, and we have
trimmed our positions
there due to the risk that
a decline in commodity
prices could pressure the
country’s resource-heavy
economy. However,
we have added to our
holdings in Thailand
and the Philippines,
where the cycle appears to be in its early stages. Thailand produced
several of the fund’s biggest contributors, including CP ALL, which
runs the 7-Eleven chain, and Kasikornbank, one of the country’s
top lenders. Reconstruction spending following last year’s floods has
lifted Thailand’s economy, while a 40% increase in the minimum wage
starting in April has fueled domestic demand. In the Philippines, real
estate company Ayala Land performed well as it expanded its land
bank and benefited from rising property prices.

5India and China
Asia’s economic superpowers suffered slowdowns over the past year.
India detracted from relative returns due to a combination of stock
selection and an overweight to the country, the year’s worst performer.
We are encouraged by the reforms India’s government announced
in September but remain guarded about how successfully they will
be implemented. Despite our caution about the near-term outlook in
India, it is home to many world-class businesses with superior growth
prospects, and our country exposure increased over the year.
Software services company Wipro and mobile phone operator
Bharti Airtel led decliners in India. Wipro shares tumbled in July
after it reported surprisingly weak earnings as corporate spending on
technology slowed, while shares of Bharti sank to a multiyear low in
August amid disappointing earnings, numerous broker downgrades,
and heightened competition worries. Bharti has posted profit declines
for well over a year, but its business in Africa is showing solid growth,
its domestic market share appears to be stabilizing, and we forecast
a turnaround in its profitability in the coming months. We took
advantage of the declines to build our positions in both companies,
which rank among our biggest Indian holdings.
China was the biggest detractor from relative performance. Many of the
fund’s biggest detractors were Chinese holdings that fared poorly for
company-specific reasons. New Oriental Education & Technology, a
language teaching and test preparation group, led decliners. Its shares
fell sharply in July after disclosing that the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) was investigating the company over its financial
statements. However, our research team has followed New Oriental for
several years, and we maintained confidence in the company. The SEC
recently said it had no objection to the company’s accounting, and its
stock price has begun to recover; however, we are closely monitoring
our position as competition heats up in the education sector. Baidu,
China’s leading Internet search engine, was another major detractor.
Baidu shares declined amid concerns about rising competition, weaker
advertising spending, and how it would sustain revenue growth as
more customers migrate to mobile devices. Despite these near-term
concerns, we believe that Baidu’s superior technology, well-known
brand, and valuable proprietary content will sustain strong long-term
growth in China, where online marketing is an under-penetrated
industry. We added to our position in Baidu, one of the fund’s
biggest holdings.
6Recent news about China has focused on its slowing economy, and
many analysts have predicted a “hard landing.” However, the current
slowdown comes as no surprise to us. China has long signaled its
intention to rebalance the drivers of its economy, and we are opti-
mistic that China will engineer a gradual deceleration as it shifts to
an economy driven by domestic consumption from one driven by
exports and fixed asset investment. This transition will take many
years and inevitably produce some periods of uneven economic and
stock market performance. One aspect of China’s economy that we
are monitoring is the country’s debt level, which has grown rapidly in
recent years fueled by the
rise of informal lending,
or “shadow banking.”
Given that conventional
banks have become
involved in unregulated
financing, the informal
lending surge has raised
worries that bankruptcies
in the private sector
could lead to a rise in
nonperforming loans that
could threaten China’s
formal banking system.
China’s rising
indebtedness is one
of many challenges that
face its next generation
of leaders, who assume
power in March 2013. Just
how reform-minded the
new leadership will be is
a matter of great interest for investors, but we do not anticipate any
major reforms in the near term. We eliminated positions in companies
whose stock valuations appear to have peaked, such as consumer
products maker Hengan International and utilities group Beijing
Enterprises; we also sold out of companies whose fundamentals
appeared to reflect the slowing economy, including commercial bank

a result, we moved to an underweight in China at the
end of October from an overweight a year ago.
Our sector exposures stayed largely unchanged.
Information tech nology, financials, and consumer
discretionary accounted for the largest sector allocations
at the end of the period. We remain underweight in
financials except in Southeast Asia, where loan growth
is accelerating. We continue to favor areas driven
by domestic consumption such as consumer staples
and discretionary stocks, which should see solid
long-term growth as Asia’s middle class grows in size
and wealth. We have lately increased our exposure to
the consumer discretionary sector. Many discretionary
stocks, particularly in China, fell after reporting
disappointing earnings growth this year, and we are
finding opportunities to buy good growth companies
at attractive prices.
OuTLOOk
We believe that economic growth across Asia will stabilize in 2013,
and earnings expectations have been reset at more reasonable levels.
However, we anticipate that financial markets will remain somewhat
volatile in the near term and that events in Europe, the pace of the
U.S. recovery, and the extent of China’s slowdown will continue to
impact investor demand for Asian stocks. Recent signs have been
encouraging: At the close of our reporting period, the U.S. housing
and jobs markets were strengthening, and various indicators showed
China’s economy picked up in September, raising speculation that the
downturn starting last spring is close to bottoming out. Still, the fun-
damental problems facing the eurozone remain: large budget deficits,
high debt levels, and macroeconomic imbalances between members.
Resolving these issues will require fiscal consolidation and deleveraging
over several years and could continue to dampen investor sentiment.
We are optimistic about the long-term growth outlook in Asia.
Across the region, disposable incomes and consumption are growing
strongly, and the middle class continues to expand in size and wealth.
We believe these trends will drive strong and sustainable growth over

Risks of International Investing
Funds that invest overseas generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S.
assets. Funds investing in a single country or in a limited geographic region tend to be
riskier than more diversified funds. Risks can result from varying stages of economic and
political development; differing regulatory environments, trading days, and accounting
standards; and higher transaction costs of non-U.S. markets. Non-U.S. investments are
also subject to currency risk, or a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the
U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency.

Fund Expense Example
As a mutual fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such
as redemption fees or sales loads, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees,
distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following example is
intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund
and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The
example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the most recent
six-month period and held for the entire period.
actual Expenses
The first line of the following table (Actual) provides information about actual account values
and expenses based on the fund’s actual returns. you may use the information on this line,
together with your account balance, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided
by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under the heading
“Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during
this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information on the second line of the table (Hypothetical) is based on hypothetical
account values and expenses derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed
5% per year rate of return before expenses (not the fund’s actual return). you may compare
the ongoing costs of investing in the fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypothetical
example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the
other funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the
actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
Note: T. Rowe Price charges an annual account service fee of $20, generally for accounts with
less than $10,000. The fee is waived for any investor whose T. Rowe Price mutual fund
accounts total $50,000 or more; accounts electing to receive electronic delivery of account
statements, transaction confirmations, prospectuses, and shareholder reports; or accounts
of an investor who is a T. Rowe Price Preferred Services, Personal Services, or Enhanced
Personal Services client (enrollment in these programs generally requires T. Rowe Price
assets of at least $100,000). This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are
subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of
investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.
you should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing
costs and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees or sales loads.
Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not
help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. To the extent a fund
charges transaction costs, however, the total cost of owning that fund is higher.

Current performance may be higher or lower than the quoted past performance, which
cannot guarantee future results. Share price, principal value, and return will vary, and
you may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares. For the most recent month-end
performance, please visit our website (troweprice.com) or contact a T. Rowe Price
representative at 1-800-225-5132. The performance information shown does not reflect
the deduction of a 2% redemption fee on shares held for 90 days or less. If it did, the
performance would be lower.
This table provides returns through the most recent calendar quarter-end rather than
through the end of the fund’s fiscal period. It shows how the fund would have performed
each year if its actual (or cumulative) returns for the periods shown had been earned at a
constant rate. Average annual total return figures include changes in principal value,
reinvested dividends, and capital gain distributions. Returns do not reflect taxes that the
shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. When
assessing performance, investors should consider both short- and long-term returns.

The expense ratio shown is as of the fund’s fiscal year ended 10/31/11. This number
may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on
a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers.

Notes to Financial Statements
T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc. (the corporation), is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). The New Asia Fund (the fund)
is a nondiversified, open-end management investment company established
by the corporation. The fund commenced operations on September 28, 1990.
The fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments primarily in
the common stocks of companies located (or with primary operations) in Asia
(excluding Japan).
NOTE 1 - SIGNIfICaNT aCCOuNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation The accompanying financial statements were prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (GAAP), which require the use of estimates made by management.
Management believes that estimates and valuations are appropriate; however,
actual results may differ from those estimates, and the valuations reflected in
the accompanying financial statements may differ from the value ultimately
realized upon sale or maturity.
Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Distributions Income and
expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on debt
securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes. Dividends received
from mutual fund investments are reflected as dividend income; capital gain
distributions are reflected as realized gain/loss. Dividend income and capital
gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income tax-related
interest and penalties, if incurred, would be recorded as income tax expense.
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and
losses are reported on the identified cost basis. Distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions are declared and paid
annually. Capital gain distributions, if any, are generally declared and paid by
the fund annually.
Currency Translation Assets, including investments, and liabilities denomi-
nated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at
the prevailing exchange rate, using the mean of the bid and asked prices of
such currencies against U.S. dollars as quoted by a major bank. Purchases and
sales of securities, income, and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the
prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in
foreign currency exchange rates on realized and unrealized security gains and
losses is reflected as a component of security gains and losses.
27
T. Rowe Price New Asia Fund
Credits The fund earns credits on temporarily uninvested cash balances held at
the custodian, which reduce the fund’s custody charges. Custody expense in the
accompanying financial statements is presented before reduction for credits.
Redemption fees A 2% fee is assessed on redemptions of fund shares held
for 90 days or less to deter short-term trading and to protect the interests of
long-term shareholders. Redemption fees are withheld from proceeds that
shareholders receive from the sale or exchange of fund shares. The fees are
paid to the fund and are recorded as an increase to paid-in capital. The fees
may cause the redemption price per share to differ from the net asset value
per share.
New accounting Pronouncements In May 2011, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued amended guidance to align fair value measure-
ment and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP with International Financial
Reporting Standards. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim
periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Adoption had no effect
on net assets or results of operations.
In December 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance to enhance disclosure
for offsetting assets and liabilities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Adoption will have no
effect on the fund’s net assets or results of operations.
NOTE 2 - vaLuaTION
The fund’s financial instruments are reported at fair value as defined by GAAP.
The fund determines the values of its assets and liabilities and computes its
net asset value per share at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE),
normally 4 p.m. ET, each day that the NYSE is open for business.
valuation Methods Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities
exchange or in the over-the-counter (OTC) market are valued at the last
quoted sale price or, for certain markets, the official closing price at the time
the valuations are made, except for OTC Bulletin Board securities, which
are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices. A security that is
listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on
the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security. Listed
securities not traded on a particular day are valued at the mean of the latest
bid and asked prices for domestic securities and the last quoted sale price
for international securities. Debt securities with remaining maturities of less
than one year at the time of acquisition generally use amortized cost in local
28
T. Rowe Price New Asia Fund
currency to approximate fair value. However, if amortized cost is deemed not to
reflect fair value or the fund holds a significant amount of such securities with
remaining maturities of more than 60 days, the securities are valued at prices
furnished by dealers who make markets in such securities or by an independent
pricing service.
Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund’s closing net asset
value per share on the day of valuation.
Other investments, including restricted securities and private placements,
and those financial instruments for which the above valuation procedures are
inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value, are stated at fair value as
determined in good faith by the T. Rowe Price Valuation Committee, established
by the fund’s Board of Directors (the Board). Subject to oversight by the Board,
the Valuation Committee develops pricing-related policies and procedures
and approves all fair-value determinations. The Valuation Committee regularly
makes good faith judgments, using a wide variety of sources and information,
to establish and adjust valuations of certain securities as events occur and
circumstances warrant. For instance, in determining the fair value of private-
equity instruments, the Valuation Committee considers a variety of factors,
including the company’s business prospects, its financial performance, strategic
events impacting the company, relevant valuations of similar companies, new
rounds of financing, and any negotiated transactions of significant size between
other investors in the company. Because any fair-value determination involves
a significant amount of judgment, there is a degree of subjectivity inherent in
such pricing decisions.
For valuation purposes, the last quoted prices of non-U.S. equity securities may
be adjusted under the circumstances described below. If the fund determines
that developments between the close of a foreign market and the close of the
NYSE will, in its judgment, materially affect the value of some or all of its
portfolio securities, the fund will adjust the previous closing prices to reflect
what it believes to be the fair value of the securities as of the close of the NYSE.
In deciding whether it is necessary to adjust closing prices to reflect fair value,
the fund reviews a variety of factors, including developments in foreign markets,
the performance of U.S. securities markets, and the performance of instru-
ments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign securities and baskets of
foreign securities. A fund may also fair value securities in other situations, such
as when a particular foreign market is closed but the fund is open. The fund
uses outside pricing services to provide it with closing prices and information
to evaluate and/or adjust those prices. The fund cannot predict how often it
will use closing prices and how often it will determine it necessary to adjust
29
T. Rowe Price New Asia Fund
those prices to reflect fair value. As a means of evaluating its security valuation
process, the fund routinely compares closing prices, the next day’s opening
prices in the same markets, and adjusted prices. Additionally, trading in the
underlying securities of the fund may take place in various foreign markets on
certain days when the fund is not open for business and does not calculate a
net asset value. As a result, net asset values may be significantly affected on days
when shareholders cannot make transactions.
valuation Inputs Various inputs are used to determine the value of the fund’s
financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels
listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments
Level 2 – observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices (including, but
not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk)
Level 3 – unobservable inputs
Observable inputs are those based on market data obtained from sources inde-
pendent of the fund, and unobservable inputs reflect the fund’s own assumptions
based on the best information available. The input levels are not necessarily an
indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that
level. For example, non-U.S. equity securities actively traded in foreign markets
generally are reflected in Level 2 despite the availability of closing prices because
the fund evaluates and determines whether those closing prices reflect fair value
at the close of the NYSE or require adjustment, as described above. The following
table summarizes the fund’s financial instruments, based on the inputs used to
determine their values on October 31, 2012:

NOTE 3 - OTHER INvESTMENT TRaNSaCTIONS
Consistent with its investment objective, the fund engages in the following prac-
tices to manage exposure to certain risks and/or to enhance performance. The
investment objective, policies, program, and risk factors of the fund are described
more fully in the fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
Emerging Markets At October 31, 2012, approximately 79% of the fund’s
net assets were invested, either directly or through investments in T. Rowe
Price institutional funds, in securities of companies located in emerging
markets, securities issued by governments of emerging market countries,
and/or securities denominated in or linked to the currencies of emerging
market countries. Emerging market securities are often subject to greater price
volatility, less liquidity, and higher rates of inflation than U.S. securities. In
addition, emerging markets may be subject to greater political, economic, and
social uncertainty, and differing regulatory environments that may potentially
impact the fund’s ability to buy or sell certain securities or repatriate proceeds
to U.S. dollars.
Repurchase agreements All repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S.
government securities. Collateral is in the possession of the fund’s custodian or,
for tri-party agreements, the custodian designated by the agreement. Collateral is
evaluated daily to ensure that its market value exceeds the delivery value of the
repurchase agreements at maturity. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral,
the fund could experience a delay in recovering its value and a possible loss of
income or value if the counterparty fails to perform in accordance with the terms
of the agreement.
China a shares During the year ended October 31, 2012, the fund invested
in certain Chinese equity securities (A shares) available only to local Chinese
investors and Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (QFII). The fund gains
access to the A-share market through T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., which
serves as the registered QFII for all participating T. Rowe Price-sponsored
products (each a participating account). Investment decisions related to A shares
are specific to each participating account, and each account bears the resultant
economic and tax consequences of its holdings and transactions in A shares.
The fund is subject to certain restrictions and administrative processes relating
to its ability to repatriate cash balances, investment proceeds, and earnings
associated with its A shares and may incur substantial delays in gaining access
to its assets or a loss of value in the event of noncompliance with applicable
Chinese rules or requirements. Current Chinese tax law is unclear whether
capital gains realized on the fund’s investments in A shares will be subject to
tax. Because management believes it more likely than not that Chinese capital
31
T. Rowe Price New Asia Fund
gains tax ultimately will not be imposed, there are no accrued taxes reflected in
the accompanying financial statements.
Securities Lending The fund lends its securities to approved brokers to earn
additional income. It receives as collateral cash and U.S. government securities
valued at 102% to 105% of the value of the securities on loan. Collateral is main-
tained over the life of the loan in an amount not less than the value of loaned
securities as determined at the close of fund business each day; any additional
collateral required due to changes in security values is delivered to the fund the
next business day. Cash collateral is invested by the fund’s lending agent(s) in
accordance with investment guidelines approved by management. Although risk
is mitigated by the collateral, the fund could experience a delay in recovering its
securities and a possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return
the securities or if collateral investments decline in value. Securities lending
revenue recognized by the fund consists of earnings on invested collateral and
borrowing fees, net of any rebates to the borrower and compensation to the
lending agent. In accordance with GAAP, investments made with cash collateral
are reflected in the accompanying financial statements, but collateral received in
the form of securities is not. At October 31, 2012, the value of loaned securities
was $34,081,000; the value of cash collateral investments was $35,944,000.
Other Purchases and sales of portfolio securities other than short-term securities
aggregated $1,821,202,000 and $1,637,040,000, respectively, for the year ended
October 31, 2012.
NOTE 4 - fEDERaL INCOME TaxES
No provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to
continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M
of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its taxable
income and gains. Distributions determined in accordance with federal income
tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income
and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records
are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character but are
not adjusted for temporary differences.
The fund files U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The fund’s
tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expi-
ration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after
the filing of the tax return but which can be extended to six years in certain
circumstances. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax
positions that require a provision for income taxes.
32
T. Rowe Price New Asia Fund
Reclassifications to paid-in capital relate primarily to a tax practice that treats a
portion of the proceeds from each redemption of capital shares as a distribution
of taxable net investment income and/or realized capital gain. Reclassifications
between income and gain relate primarily to the character of foreign capital
gains taxes. For the year ended October 31, 2012, the following reclassifications
were recorded to reflect tax character (there was no impact on results of
operations or net assets):
Undistributed net investment income $ 649
Undistributed net realized gain (8,739)
Paid-in capital 8,090
($000s)
Distributions during the years ended October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011,
were characterized for tax purposes as follows:
($000s)
October 31,
2012 2011
Ordinary income $ 33,272 $ 65,143
Long-term capital gain 605,575 —
Total distributions $ 638,847 $ 65,143
At October 31, 2012 the tax-basis cost of investments and components of net
assets were as follows:
Cost of investments $ 3,954,665
Unrealized appreciation $ 856,515
Unrealized depreciation (273,122)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) 583,393
Undistributed ordinary income 45,805
Undistributed long-term capital gain 57,851
Paid-in capital 3,831,029
Net assets $ 4,518,078
($000s)
33
T. Rowe Price New Asia Fund
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) is attributable to the deferral of losses from wash sales, the
realization of gains/losses on passive foreign investment companies for
tax purposes.
NOTE 5 - fOREIGN TaxES
The fund is subject to foreign income taxes imposed by certain countries in
which it invests. Acquisition of certain foreign currencies related to security
transactions are also subject to tax. Additionally, capital gains realized by the
fund upon disposition of securities issued in or by certain foreign countries are
subject to capital gains tax imposed by those countries. All taxes are computed
in accordance with the applicable foreign tax law, and, to the extent permitted,
capital losses are used to offset capital gains. Taxes attributable to income are
accrued by the fund as a reduction of income. Taxes incurred on the purchase of
foreign currencies are recorded as realized loss on foreign currency transactions.
Current and deferred tax expense attributable to net capital gains is reflected as
a component of realized and/or change in unrealized gain/loss on securities in
the accompanying financial statements. At October 31, 2012, the fund had no
deferred tax liability attributable to foreign securities and $4,648,000 of foreign
capital loss carryforwards, that expire in 2020.
NOTE 6 - RELaTED PaRTY TRaNSaCTIONS
The fund is managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Price Associates), a
wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (Price Group). Price
Associates has entered into a subadvisory agreements with T. Rowe Price
International Ltd and T. Rowe Price Hong Kong Limited, wholly owned
subsidiaries of Price Associates, to provide investment advisory services to the
fund; the subadvisory agreements provide that Price Associates may pay the
subadvisors up to 60% of the management fee that Price Associates receives
from the fund. The investment management agreement between the fund and
Price Associates provides for an annual investment management fee, which is
computed daily and paid monthly. The fee consists of an individual fund fee,
equal to 0.50% of the fund’s average daily net assets, and a group fee. The
group fee rate is calculated based on the combined net assets of certain mutual
funds sponsored by Price Associates (the group) applied to a graduated fee
34
T. Rowe Price New Asia Fund
schedule, with rates ranging from 0.48% for the first $1 billion of assets to
0.28% for assets in excess of $300 billion. The fund’s group fee is determined
by applying the group fee rate to the fund’s average daily net assets. At
October 31, 2012, the effective annual group fee rate was 0.30%.
In addition, the fund has entered into service agreements with Price Associates
and two wholly owned subsidiaries of Price Associates (collectively, Price).
Price Associates computes the daily share price and provides certain other
administrative services to the fund. T. Rowe Price Services, Inc., provides
shareholder and administrative services in its capacity as the fund’s trans-
fer and dividend disbursing agent. T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services,
Inc., provides subaccounting and recordkeeping services for certain retire-
ment accounts invested in the fund. For the year ended October 31, 2012,
expenses incurred pursuant to these service agreements were $149,000 for
Price Associates; $1,726,000 for T. Rowe Price Services, Inc.; and $160,000
for T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. The total amount payable at
period-end pursuant to these service agreements is reflected as Due to Affiliates
in the accompanying financial statements.
The fund is also one of several mutual funds sponsored by Price Associates
(underlying Price funds) in which the T. Rowe Price Spectrum Funds
(Spectrum Funds) may invest. The Spectrum Funds do not invest in the
underlying Price funds for the purpose of exercising management or control.
Pursuant to a special servicing agreement, expenses associated with the
operation of the Spectrum Funds are borne by each underlying Price fund to
the extent of estimated savings to it and in proportion to the average daily value
of its shares owned by the Spectrum Funds. Expenses allocated under this
agreement are reflected as shareholder servicing expense in the accompanying
financial statements. For the year ended October 31, 2012, the fund was
allocated $112,000 of Spectrum Funds’ expenses, of which $76,000 related
to services provided by Price. The amount payable at period-end pursuant to
this agreement is reflected as Due to Affiliates in the accompanying financial
statements. Additionally, redemption fees received by the Spectrum Funds are
allocated to each underlying Price fund in proportion to the average daily value
of its shares owned by the Spectrum Funds. $4,000 of redemption fees reflected
in the accompanying financial statements were received from the Spectrum
Funds. Redemption fees received from the Spectrum Funds are recorded as
an increase to paid-in capital. At October 31, 2012, approximately 2% of the
outstanding shares of the fund were held by the Spectrum Funds.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of T. Rowe Price International funds, Inc. and
Shareholders of T. Rowe Price New asia fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of T. Rowe Price New Asia Fund (one of the
portfolios comprising T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc., hereafter referred
to as the “Fund”) at October 31, 2012, and the results of its operations, the
changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods
indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial high-
lights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of
the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of
securities at October 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers, and confirmation of the underlying funds by correspondence with
the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SUMMARY
T. Rowe Price Africa & Middle East Fund
Investment Objective
The fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in the common
stocks of companies located (or with primary operations) in Africa and the Middle
East.
Fees and Expenses
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold
shares of the fund.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
Shareholder fees (fees paid directly from your investment)
Maximum sales charge (load) imposed on
purchases NONE
Maximum deferred sales charge (load) NONE
Redemption fee (as a percentage of amount
redeemed on shares held for 90 days or less) 2.00%
Maximum account fee $20

Annual fund operating expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a
percentage of the value of your investment)
Management fees 1.05%
Distribution and service (12b-1) fees 0.00%
Other expenses 0.47%
Total annual fund operating expenses 1.52%
a Subject to certain exceptions, accounts with a balance of less than $10,000 are charged an annual $20 fee.
Example This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the
fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you
invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your
shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment
has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your
costs would be:
1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years
$155 $480 $829 $1,813
Portfolio Turnover The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it
buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover
rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund
T. ROWE PRICE 2
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual
fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the
most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 65.0% of the average
value of its portfolio.
Investments, Risks, and Performance
Principal Investment Strategies The fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net
assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) in African and Middle
Eastern companies. The fund may purchase the stocks of companies of any size. The
fund expects to make substantially all of its investments in common stocks, and
participation notes (P-notes) linked to common stocks, of companies located (or with
primary operations) in the countries listed below, as well as others as their markets
develop:
• Primary Emphasis: Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco,
Nigeria, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and United Arab Emirates.
• Others: Algeria, Angola, Botswana, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Mauritius, Mozambique,
Namibia, Niger Republic, Rwanda, Senegal, Syria, Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda,
Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
The fund is “nondiversified,” meaning it may invest a greater portion of assets in a
single company and own more of the company’s voting securities than is permissible
for a “diversified” fund. The fund’s portfolio is expected to be composed of
investments in about 30 to 60 different companies, although the number could vary
depending on market conditions. While most assets will be invested directly in
common stocks, the fund may gain exposure to common stocks by purchasing
P-notes that offer a return linked to a particular underlying common stock. P-notes
are primarily used to invest indirectly in certain stocks that trade in a market that
restricts foreign investors, such as the fund, from investing directly in that market.
The fund may make substantial investments (at times more than 25% of total assets)
in telecommunications and banking companies in various African and Middle
Eastern countries.
While the fund invests with an awareness of the outlook for industry sectors and
individual countries within the region, bottom-up stock selection is the focus of our
decision-making. Country allocation is driven largely by stock selection, though we
may limit investments in markets that appear to have poor overall prospects.
Security selection reflects a growth style. The fund relies on a global team of
investment analysts dedicated to in-depth fundamental research in an effort to
identify companies capable of achieving and sustaining above-average, long-term
earnings growth. We seek to purchase stocks of such companies at reasonable prices
in relation to present or anticipated earnings, cash flow, or book value.
SUMMARY 3
In selecting investments, the fund generally favors companies with one or more of the
following characteristics:
• leading or improving market position;
• attractive business niche;
• attractive or improving franchise or industry position;
• seasoned management;
• stable or improving earnings and/or cash flow; and
• sound or improving balance sheet.
The fund may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit
losses, or redeploy assets into more promising opportunities.
Principal Risks As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the fund will
achieve its objective. The fund’s share price fluctuates, which means you could lose
money by investing in the fund. The principal risks of investing in this fund are
summarized as follows:
Active management risk The fund is subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s
judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the fund’s
investments may prove to be incorrect. If the securities selected and strategies
employed by the fund fail to produce the intended results, the fund could
underperform other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies.
Risks of stock investing Stocks generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and may
decline significantly over short time periods. There is a chance that stock prices
overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of
rising prices and falling prices. The value of a stock in which the fund invests may
decline due to general weakness in the stock market or because of factors that affect a
company or a particular industry.
Foreign investing risk Investing in the securities of non-U.S. companies involves
special risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. Foreign
securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities,
and may lose value because of adverse political, social, or economic developments
overseas, or due to changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the
U.S. dollar. In addition, foreign investments are subject to settlement practices, and
regulatory and financial reporting standards, that differ from those of the U.S.
Emerging markets risk The risks of foreign investing are heightened for securities of
issuers in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries tend to have
economic structures that are less diverse and mature, and political systems that are
less stable, than those of developed countries. In addition to all of the risks of
investing in foreign developed markets, emerging markets are more susceptible to
governmental interference, local taxes being imposed on foreign investments,
restrictions on gaining access to sales proceeds, and less liquid and efficient trading
markets.
T. ROWE PRICE 4
P-note risks To the extent the fund invests in P-notes, it is subject to certain risks in
addition to the risks normally associated with a direct investment in the underlying
foreign securities the P-note seeks to replicate. As the purchaser of a P-note, the fund
is relying on the creditworthiness of the counterparty issuing the P-note and does not
have the same rights under a P-note as it would as a shareholder of the underlying
issuer. Therefore, if a counterparty becomes insolvent, the fund could lose the total
value of its investment in the P-note. In addition, there is no assurance that there will
be a trading market for a P-note or that the trading price of a P-note will equal the
value of the underlying security.
Geographic concentration risk Because the fund concentrates its investments in a
particular geographic region, the fund’s performance is closely tied to the social,
political, and economic conditions within that region. Political developments and
changes in regulatory, tax, or economic policy in particular countries within the
region could significantly affect the markets in those countries as well as the entire
region. As a result, the fund is likely to be more volatile than more geographically
diverse international funds.
Many African and Middle Eastern countries have histories of dictatorships, political
and military unrest, and financial troubles, and their markets should be considered
extremely volatile even when compared to those of other emerging market countries.
Many of these countries tend to be highly reliant on the exportation of oil and other
commodities so their economies can be significantly impacted by fluctuations in
commodity prices and the global demand for certain commodities. In addition,
because the fund may invest significantly in telecommunications and banking
companies within the region, the fund is also more susceptible to developments
affecting these industries.
Nondiversification risk As a nondiversified fund, the fund has the ability to invest a
larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a
diversified fund. As a result, poor performance by a single issuer could adversely
affect fund performance more than if the fund were invested in a larger number of
issuers. The fund’s share price can be expected to fluctuate more than that of a
comparable diversified fund.
Investment style risk Different investment styles tend to shift in and out of favor,
depending on market conditions and investor sentiment. The fund’s growth
approach to investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that employ
a different investment style. Growth stocks tend to be more volatile than certain other
types of stocks and their prices usually fluctuate more dramatically than the overall
stock market. A stock with growth characteristics can have sharp price declines due
to decreases in current or expected earnings and may lack dividends that can help
cushion its share price in a declining market.
Performance The bar chart showing calendar year returns and the average annual
total returns table indicate risk by illustrating how much returns can differ from one
SUMMARY 5
year to the next and how fund performance compares with that of a comparable
market index. The fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily
an indication of future performance.
The fund can also experience short-term performance swings, as shown by the best
and worst calendar quarter returns during the years depicted.

depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax
returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-

Investments, Risks, and Performance
Principal Investment Strategies The fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net
assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) in the emerging markets
of Europe, including Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. The fund may
purchase the stocks of companies of any size. The fund expects to make substantially
all of its investments in common stocks of companies located (or with primary
operations) in the emerging market countries listed below (others may be added):
• Primary Emphasis: Czech Republic, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Poland, Russia, Turkey,
and Ukraine.
• Others: Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia,
and Slovenia.
The fund is “nondiversified,” meaning it may invest a greater portion of assets in a
single company and own more of the company’s voting securities than is permissible
for a “diversified” fund.
While the fund invests with an awareness of the outlook for industry sectors and
individual countries within the region, bottom-up stock selection is the focus of our
decision-making. Country allocation is driven largely by stock selection, though we
may limit investments in markets that appear to have poor overall prospects.
Security selection reflects a growth style. The fund relies on a global team of
investment analysts dedicated to in-depth fundamental research in an effort to
identify companies capable of achieving and sustaining above-average, long-term
earnings growth. We seek to purchase stocks of such companies at reasonable prices
in relation to present or anticipated earnings, cash flow, or book value.
In selecting investments, the fund generally favors companies with one or more of the
following characteristics:
• leading or improving market position;
• attractive business niche;
• attractive or improving franchise or industry position;
• seasoned management;
• stable or improving earnings and/or cash flow; and
• sound or improving balance sheet.
The fund may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit
losses, or redeploy assets into more promising opportunities.
Principal Risks As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the fund will
achieve its objective. The fund’s share price fluctuates, which means you could lose
T. ROWE PRICE 10
money by investing in the fund. The principal risks of investing in this fund are
summarized as follows:
Active management risk The fund is subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s
judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the fund’s
investments may prove to be incorrect. If the securities selected and strategies
employed by the fund fail to produce the intended results, the fund could
underperform other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies.
Risks of stock investing Stocks generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and may
decline significantly over short time periods. There is a chance that stock prices
overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of
rising prices and falling prices. The value of a stock in which the fund invests may
decline due to general weakness in the stock market or because of factors that affect a
company or a particular industry.
Foreign investing risk Investing in the securities of non-U.S. companies involves
special risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. Foreign
securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities,
and may lose value because of adverse political, social, or economic developments
overseas, or due to changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the
U.S. dollar. In addition, foreign investments are subject to settlement practices, and

political, and economic conditions within that region. Political developments and
changes in regulatory, tax, or economic policy in particular countries within the
region could significantly affect the markets in those countries as well as the entire
region. As a result, the fund is likely to be more volatile than more geographically
diverse international funds.
The European financial markets have been experiencing increased volatility due to
concerns over rising government debt levels of several European countries and these
events may continue to significantly affect both developed and emerging countries
throughout Europe. Emerging European countries continue to be susceptible to
political turmoil as their economies continue to develop. In addition, the fund
typically invests a large portion of its assets in companies located or with primary
SUMMARY 11
operations in Russia. The fund’s heavy exposure to one country subjects the fund to a
higher degree of risk, in comparison to similar regional funds investing across
emerging Europe, that adverse developments in a single country will have a
significant impact on its performance. The Russian economy is susceptible to declines
in the production and sales of oil, government intervention, and corruption.
Investing in Russia also involves risks relating to the settlement and ownership rights
associated with holding Russian securities.
Nondiversification risk As a nondiversified fund, the fund has the ability to invest a
larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a
diversified fund. As a result, poor performance by a single issuer could adversely
affect fund performance more than if the fund were invested in a larger number of

shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual
fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the
most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 24.1% of the average
value of its portfolio.
Investments, Risks, and Performance
Principal Investment Strategies The fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net
assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) in emerging market
companies. The fund may purchase the stocks of companies of any size. The fund
expects to make substantially all of its investments in common stocks of companies
located (or with primary operations) in emerging markets in Latin America, Asia,
Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. The fund considers the following countries to be
emerging markets (others may be added):
• Asia: China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, South Korea, Sri
Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
• Latin America: Argentina, Belize, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, Peru,
and Venezuela.
• Europe: Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania,
Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey, and Ukraine.
• Africa and the Middle East: Bahrain, Botswana, Egypt, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait,
Lebanon, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Africa,
Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Zimbabwe.
While the fund invests with an awareness of the global economic backdrop and the
outlook for industry sectors and individual countries, bottom-up stock selection is
the focus of our decision-making. Country allocation is driven largely by stock
selection, though we may limit investments in markets that appear to have poor
overall prospects.
Security selection reflects a growth style. The fund relies on a global team of
investment analysts dedicated to in-depth fundamental research in an effort to
identify companies capable of achieving and sustaining above-average, long-term
earnings growth. We seek to purchase stocks of such companies at reasonable prices
in relation to present or anticipated earnings, cash flow, or book value.
In selecting investments, the fund generally favors companies with one or more of the
following characteristics:
• leading or improving market position;
• attractive business niche;
• attractive or improving franchise or industry position;
• seasoned management;
• stable or improving earnings and/or cash flow; and
• sound or improving balance sheet.
T. ROWE PRICE 16
The fund may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit
losses, or redeploy assets into more promising opportunities.
Principal Risks As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the fund will
achieve its objective. The fund’s share price fluctuates, which means you could lose
money by investing in the fund. The principal risks of investing in this fund are
summarized as follows:
Active management risk The fund is subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s
judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the fund’s
investments may prove to be incorrect. If the securities selected and strategies
employed by the fund fail to produce the intended results, the fund could
underperform other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies.
Risks of stock investing Stocks generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and may
decline significantly over short time periods. There is a chance that stock prices
overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of
rising prices and falling prices. The value of a stock in which the fund invests may
decline due to general weakness in the stock market or because of factors that affect a
company or a particular industry.
Foreign investing risk Investing in the securities of non-U.S. companies involves
special risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. Foreign
securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities,
and may lose value because of adverse political, social, or economic developments
overseas, or due to changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the
U.S. dollar. In addition, foreign investments are subject to settlement practices, and
regulatory and financial reporting standards, that differ from those of the U.S.
Emerging markets risk The risks of foreign investing are heightened for securities of
issuers in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries tend to have
economic structures that are less diverse and mature, and political systems that are
less stable, than those of developed countries. In addition to all of the risks of
investing in foreign developed markets, emerging markets are more susceptible to
governmental interference, local taxes being imposed on foreign investments,
restrictions on gaining access to sales proceeds, and less liquid and efficient trading
markets.
Investment style risk Different investment styles tend to shift in and out of favor,
depending on market conditions and investor sentiment. The fund’s growth
approach to investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that employ
a different investment style. Growth stocks tend to be more volatile than certain other
types of stocks and their prices usually fluctuate more dramatically than the overall
stock market. A stock with growth characteristics can have sharp price declines due
to decreases in current or expected earnings and may lack dividends that can help
cushion its share price in a declining market.

Investment Objective
The fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments primarily in the
common stocks of companies located (or with primary operations) in Europe.

shares of the fund.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
Shareholder fees (fees paid directly from your investment)

purchases NONE
Maximum deferred sales charge (load) NONE
Redemption fee (as a percentage of amount
redeemed on shares held for 90 days or less) 2.00%

Annual fund operating expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a
percentage of the value of your investment)
Management fees 0.80%

Other expenses 0.20%
Total annual fund operating expenses 1.00%
a Subject to certain exceptions, accounts with a balance of less than $10,000 are charged an annual $20 fee.
Example This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the
fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you
invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your
shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment
has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your
costs would be:
1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years
$102 $318 $552 $1,225
Portfolio Turnover The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it
buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover
rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual
SUMMARY 21
fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the
most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 41.6% of the average
value of its portfolio.
Investments, Risks, and Performance
Principal Investment Strategies The fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net
assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) in European companies.
Under normal conditions, at least five countries will be represented in the fund’s
portfolio. The fund may purchase the stocks of companies of any size. The fund
expects to make substantially all of its investments in common stocks of companies
located (or with primary operations) in the countries listed below, as well as others as
their markets develop:
• Primary Emphasis: Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland,
Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,
and United Kingdom.
• Others: Belgium, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Poland, Romania,
Russia, and Turkey.
While the fund invests with an awareness of the outlook for industry sectors and
individual countries within the region, bottom-up stock selection is the focus of our
decision-making. Country allocation is driven largely by stock selection, though we
may limit investments in markets that appear to have poor overall prospects.
The fund seeks to purchase the stocks of companies with quality management and
strong cash flows, and does not emphasize either a growth or value bias in selecting
investments. Securities will be selected that in the investment adviser’s view have the
most favorable combination of company fundamentals, earnings potential, and
relative valuation.
In selecting investments, the fund generally favors companies with one or more of the
following characteristics:
• leading or improving market position;
• attractive business niche;
• attractive or improving franchise or industry position;
• seasoned management;
• stable or improving earnings and/or cash flow; and
• sound or improving balance sheet.
The fund may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit
losses, or redeploy assets into more promising opportunities.
Principal Risks As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the fund will
achieve its objective. The fund’s share price fluctuates, which means you could lose
money by investing in the fund. The principal risks of investing in this fund are
summarized as follows:

U.S. dollar. In addition, foreign investments are subject to settlement practices, and
regulatory and financial reporting standards, that differ from those of the U.S. These
risks are heightened for the fund’s investments in emerging markets.
Geographic concentration risk Because the fund concentrates its investments in a
particular geographic region, the fund’s performance is closely tied to the social,
political, and economic conditions within that region. Political developments and
changes in regulatory, tax, or economic policy in particular countries within the
region could significantly affect the markets in those countries as well as the entire
region. As a result, the fund is likely to be more volatile than more geographically
diverse international funds.
The European financial markets have been experiencing increased volatility due to
concerns over rising government debt levels of several European countries and these
events may continue to significantly affect all of Europe. European economies could
be significantly affected by rising unemployment, tight fiscal and monetary controls
imposed on member countries of the European Economic and Monetary Union, and
uncertainty surrounding the euro.

fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the
most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 40.2% of the average

Investments, Risks, and Performance
Principal Investment Strategies The fund expects to invest substantially all of its
assets outside the U.S. and to diversify broadly among developed and emerging
countries throughout the world. The fund will emphasize investing in small- to
medium-sized companies. Depending on market conditions, the fund’s portfolio
should be composed of investments in at least 10 countries and 100 different
companies. Normally, at least 80% of the fund’s net assets (including any borrowings
for investment purposes) will be invested in stocks.
While the fund invests with an awareness of the global economic backdrop and the
outlook for industry sectors and individual countries, bottom-up stock selection is
the focus of our decision-making. Country allocation is driven largely by stock
selection, though we may limit investments in markets that appear to have poor
overall prospects.
Security selection reflects a growth style. The fund relies on a global team of
investment analysts dedicated to in-depth fundamental research in an effort to
identify companies capable of achieving and sustaining above-average, long-term
earnings growth. We seek to purchase stocks of such companies at reasonable prices
in relation to present or anticipated earnings, cash flow, or book value.

regulatory and financial reporting standards, that differ from those of the U.S. These
risks are heightened for the fund’s investments in emerging markets.
Small- and mid-cap stock risk Because the fund invests primarily in small- and
medium-sized companies, its share price could be more volatile than a fund that
invests only in large companies. Small- and medium-sized companies often have less
experienced management, narrower product lines, more limited financial resources,
and less publicly available information than larger companies. Smaller companies
may have limited trading markets and tend to be more sensitive to changes in overall
economic conditions.
Investment style risk Different investment styles tend to shift in and out of favor,
depending on market conditions and investor sentiment. The fund’s growth
approach to investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that employ
a different investment style. Growth stocks tend to be more volatile than certain other

shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual
fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the
most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 29.9% of the average
value of its portfolio.
Investments, Risks, and Performance
Principal Investment Strategies The fund expects to invest substantially all of its
assets outside the U.S. and to diversify broadly, primarily among the world’s
developed countries. The fund will invest primarily (at least 65% of total assets) in
the stocks of large, dividend-paying, well-established companies that have favorable
prospects for capital appreciation. Investments in emerging markets will be modest
and limited to more mature developing countries.
The fund takes a value-oriented approach to investing by searching for attractively
valued companies with the potential for improving earnings over time. Country and
sector allocations are driven primarily by security selection and secondarily by an
assessment of top-down, fundamental prospects. The fund relies on a global research
team to identify companies that appear to be undervalued by various measures and
may be temporarily out of favor but have good prospects for capital appreciation or
dividend growth.
In selecting investments, the fund generally favors companies with one or more of the
following characteristics:
• low valuation on various earnings, book value, sales, and cash flow metrics, in
absolute terms and/or relative to the company’s peers or its own historical norm;
• low valuation relative to a company’s growth potential;
• companies that may benefit from restructuring activity or other turnaround
opportunities;
• a sound balance sheet and other positive financial characteristics; and
• above-average dividend yield and/or the potential to grow dividends.
The fund may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit
losses, or redeploy assets into more promising opportunities.
Principal Risks As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the fund will
achieve its objective. The fund’s share price fluctuates, which means you could lose
money by investing in the fund. The principal risks of investing in this fund are
summarized as follows:
Active management risk The fund is subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s
judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the fund’s
investments may prove to be incorrect. If the securities selected and strategies
employed by the fund fail to produce the intended results, the fund could
underperform other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies.
T. ROWE PRICE 32
Risks of stock investing Stocks generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and may
decline significantly over short time periods. There is a chance that stock prices
overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of
rising prices and falling prices. The value of a stock in which the fund invests may
decline due to general weakness in the stock market or because of factors that affect a
company or a particular industry.
Foreign investing risk Investing in the securities of non-U.S. companies involves
special risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. Foreign
securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities,
and may lose value because of adverse political, social, or economic developments
overseas, or due to changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the
U.S. dollar. In addition, foreign investments are subject to settlement practices, and
regulatory and financial reporting standards, that differ from those of the U.S. These
risks are heightened for the fund’s investments in emerging markets.
Investment style risk Different investment styles tend to shift in and out of favor,
depending on market conditions and investor sentiment. The fund’s value approach
to investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that employ a different
investment style. The intrinsic value of a stock with value characteristics may not be
fully recognized by the market for a long time or a stock judged to be undervalued
may actually be appropriately priced at a low level.
Performance The bar chart showing calendar year returns and the average annual
total returns table indicate risk by illustrating how much returns can differ from one
year to the next and how fund performance compares with that of a comparable
market index. The fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily
an indication of future performance.
The fund can also experience short-term performance swings, as shown by the best
and worst calendar quarter returns during the years depicted.

fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the
most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 33.5% of the average
value of its portfolio.
Investments, Risks, and Performance
Principal Investment Strategies The fund expects to invest substantially all of its
assets in stocks outside the U.S. and to diversify broadly among developed and
emerging countries throughout the world. The fund may purchase the stocks of
companies of any size, but its focus will typically be on large-sized companies and, to
a lesser extent, medium-sized companies. Normally, at least 80% of the fund’s net
assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) will be invested in stocks.
While the fund invests with an awareness of the global economic backdrop and the
outlook for industry sectors and individual countries, bottom-up stock selection is
the focus of our decision-making. Country allocation is driven largely by stock
selection, though we may limit investments in markets that appear to have poor
overall prospects.
Security selection reflects a growth style. The fund relies on a global team of
investment analysts dedicated to in-depth fundamental research in an effort to
identify companies capable of achieving and sustaining above-average, long-term
earnings growth. We seek to purchase stocks of such companies at reasonable prices
in relation to present or anticipated earnings, cash flow, or book value.
In selecting investments, the fund generally favors companies with one or more of the
following characteristics:
• leading or improving market position;
• attractive business niche;
• attractive or improving franchise or industry position;
• seasoned management;
• stable or improving earnings and/or cash flow; and
• sound or improving balance sheet.
The fund may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit
losses, or redeploy assets into more promising opportunities.
Principal Risks As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the fund will
achieve its objective. The fund’s share price fluctuates, which means you could lose
money by investing in the fund. The principal risks of investing in this fund are

Investments, Risks, and Performance
Principal Investment Strategies The fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net
assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) in companies located (or
with primary operations) in Japan. The fund may purchase the stocks of companies
of any size and expects to make its investments across a wide range of Japanese
industries and companies. While the fund invests with an awareness of the outlook
for industry sectors within the country, bottom-up stock selection is the focus of our
decision-making.
Security selection reflects a growth style. The fund relies on a global team of
investment analysts dedicated to in-depth fundamental research in an effort to
identify companies capable of achieving and sustaining above-average, long-term
earnings growth. We seek to purchase stocks of such companies at reasonable prices
in relation to present or anticipated earnings, cash flow, or book value.

overseas, or due to changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the
U.S. dollar. In addition, foreign investments may be subject to regulatory and
accounting standards that differ from those of the U.S.
Geographic concentration risk Because the fund concentrates its investments in a
particular country, the fund’s performance is closely tied to the social, political, and
economic conditions of that country. As a result, the fund is likely to be more volatile
than more geographically diverse international funds.
The Japanese economy has in the past been negatively affected at times by
government intervention and protectionism, an unstable financial services sector, a
heavy reliance on international trade, and natural disasters. Some of these factors, as
well as other adverse political developments, increases in government debt, and
changes to fiscal, monetary, or trade policies, may affect the Japanese markets and
significantly harm the fund’s performance.
Investment style risk Different investment styles tend to shift in and out of favor,

approach to investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that employ
a different investment style. Growth stocks tend to be more volatile than certain other

T. ROWE PRICE 46
fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the
most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 16.7% of the average
value of its portfolio.
Investments, Risks, and Performance
Principal Investment Strategies The fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net
assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) in Latin American
companies. Under normal conditions, at least four countries will be represented in
the fund’s portfolio. The fund may purchase the stocks of companies of any size. The
fund expects to make substantially all of its investments in common stocks of
companies located (or with primary operations) in the countries listed below, as well
as others as their markets develop:
• Primary Emphasis: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and
Venezuela.
• Others: Belize, Ecuador, and Guatemala.
The fund is “nondiversified,” meaning it may invest a greater portion of assets in a
single company and own more of the company’s voting securities than is permissible
for a “diversified” fund. The fund may make substantial investments (at times more
than 25% of total assets) in telecommunications and banking companies in various
Latin American countries.
While the fund invests with an awareness of the outlook for industry sectors and
individual countries within the region, bottom-up stock selection is the focus of our
decision-making. Country allocation is driven largely by stock selection, though we
may limit investments in markets that appear to have poor overall prospects.
Security selection reflects a growth style. The fund relies on a global team of
investment analysts dedicated to in-depth fundamental research in an effort to
identify companies capable of achieving and sustaining above-average, long-term
earnings growth. We seek to purchase stocks of such companies at reasonable prices
in relation to present or anticipated earnings, cash flow, or book value.
In selecting investments, the fund generally favors companies with one or more of the
following characteristics:
• leading or improving market position;
• attractive business niche;
• attractive or improving franchise or industry position;
• seasoned management;
• stable or improving earnings and/or cash flow; and
• sound or improving balance sheet.
The fund may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit
losses, or redeploy assets into more promising opportunities.
SUMMARY 47
Principal Risks As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the fund will
achieve its objective. The fund’s share price fluctuates, which means you could lose
money by investing in the fund. The principal risks of investing in this fund are
summarized as follows:
Active management risk The fund is subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s
judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the fund’s
investments may prove to be incorrect. If the securities selected and strategies
employed by the fund fail to produce the intended results, the fund could
underperform other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies.
Risks of stock investing Stocks generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and may
decline significantly over short time periods. There is a chance that stock prices
overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of
rising prices and falling prices. The value of a stock in which the fund invests may
decline due to general weakness in the stock market or because of factors that affect a
company or a particular industry.
Foreign investing risk Investing in the securities of non-U.S. companies involves
special risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. Foreign
securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities,
and may lose value because of adverse political, social, or economic developments
overseas, or due to changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the
U.S. dollar. In addition, foreign investments are subject to settlement practices, and
regulatory and financial reporting standards, that differ from those of the U.S.
Emerging markets risk The risks of foreign investing are heightened for securities of
issuers in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries tend to have
economic structures that are less diverse and mature, and political systems that are
less stable, than those of developed countries. In addition to all of the risks of
investing in foreign developed markets, emerging markets are more susceptible to
governmental interference, local taxes being imposed on foreign investments,
restrictions on gaining access to sales proceeds, and less liquid and efficient trading
markets.
Geographic concentration risk Because the fund concentrates its investments in a
particular geographic region, the fund’s performance is closely tied to the social,
political, and economic conditions within that region. Political developments and
changes in regulatory, tax, or economic policy in particular countries within the
region could significantly affect the markets in those countries as well as the entire
region. As a result, the fund is likely to be more volatile than more geographically
diverse international funds.
Many Latin American countries have histories of inflation, government overspending,
political instability, and extreme currency fluctuations. Many of these countries tend
to be highly reliant on the exportation of commodities so their economies may be
significantly impacted by fluctuations in commodity prices and the global demand
T. ROWE PRICE 48
for certain commodities. Because the fund may invest significantly in
telecommunications and banking companies within the region, the fund is also more
susceptible to developments affecting these industries. In addition, the fund typically
invests a large portion of its assets in companies located or with primary operations
in Brazil. The fund’s heavy exposure to one country subjects the fund to a higher
degree of risk, in comparison to similar regional funds investing across Latin
America, that adverse developments in a single country will have a significant impact
on its performance. The Brazilian economy, like many Latin American economies, is
susceptible to inflation, monetary tightening and other governmental controls, and
slowing growth in its primary export markets.
Nondiversification risk As a nondiversified fund, the fund has the ability to invest a
larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a
diversified fund. As a result, poor performance by a single issuer could adversely
affect fund performance more than if the fund were invested in a larger number of
issuers. The fund’s share price can be expected to fluctuate more than that of a
comparable diversified fund.
Investment style risk Different investment styles tend to shift in and out of favor,
depending on market conditions and investor sentiment. The fund’s growth
approach to investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that employ
a different investment style. Growth stocks tend to be more volatile than certain other
types of stocks and their prices usually fluctuate more dramatically than the overall
stock market. A stock with growth characteristics can have sharp price declines due
to decreases in current or expected earnings and may lack dividends that can help
cushion its share price in a declining market.
Performance The bar chart showing calendar year returns and the average annual
total returns table indicate risk by illustrating how much returns can differ from one
year to the next and how fund performance compares with that of a comparable
market index. The fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily
an indication of future performance.
The fund can also experience short-term performance swings, as shown by the best
and worst calendar quarter returns during the years depicted.

SUMMARY
T. Rowe Price New Asia Fund
Investment Objective
The fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments primarily in the
common stocks of companies located (or with primary operations) in Asia (excluding
Japan).
Fees and Expenses
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold
shares of the fund.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
Shareholder fees (fees paid directly from your investment)
Maximum sales charge (load) imposed on
purchases NONE
Maximum deferred sales charge (load) NONE
Redemption fee (as a percentage of amount
redeemed on shares held for 90 days or less) 2.00%
Maximum account fee $20
a
Annual fund operating expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a
percentage of the value of your investment)
Management fees 0.80%
Distribution and service (12b-1) fees 0.00%
Other expenses 0.15%
Total annual fund operating expenses 0.95%
a Subject to certain exceptions, accounts with a balance of less than $10,000 are charged an annual $20 fee.
Example This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the
fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you
invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your
shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment
has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your
costs would be:
1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years
$97 $303 $525 $1,166
Portfolio Turnover The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it
buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover
rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund
T. ROWE PRICE 52
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual
fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the
most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 41.1% of the average
value of its portfolio.

could have a significant impact on companies doing business in Asia.

most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 13.6% of the average
value of its portfolio.
Investments, Risks, and Performance
Principal Investment Strategies The fund expects to invest substantially all of its
assets outside the U.S. and to diversify broadly among developed and, to a lesser
extent, emerging countries throughout the world. The fund normally invests at least
80% of its net assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) in non-U.S.
stocks and at least 65% of its net assets in stocks of large-cap companies.
The fund takes a core approach to investing, which provides some exposure to both
growth and value styles of investing. The fund relies on a global research team to
search for particularly promising stocks throughout developed and, to a lesser extent,
emerging markets. Securities will be selected that in our view have the most favorable
combination of company fundamentals and valuation.
In selecting investments, the fund generally favors companies with one or more of the
following characteristics:
• attractive business niche with potential for earnings growth;
• attractive valuation relative to the company’s peers or its own historical norm;
• barriers to entry in its business;
• seasoned management;
• healthy balance sheet; and
• potential to grow dividends or conduct share repurchases.
The fund may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit
losses, or redeploy assets into more promising opportunities.
Principal Risks As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the fund will
achieve its objective. The fund’s share price fluctuates, which means you could lose
money by investing in the fund. The principal risks of investing in this fund are

regulatory and financial reporting standards, that differ from those of the U.S. These
risks are heightened for the fund’s investments in emerging markets.
Investment style risk Different investment styles tend to shift in and out of favor,
depending on market conditions and investor sentiment. Because the fund holds
stocks with both growth and value characteristics, it could underperform other stock
funds that take a strictly growth or value approach to investing when one style is
currently in favor. Growth stocks tend to be more volatile than the overall stock
market and can have sharp price declines as a result of earnings disappointments.
Value stocks carry the risk that the market will not recognize their intrinsic value or
that they are actually appropriately priced at a low level.

through a financial intermediary, you must purchase, redeem, and exchange shares
through your intermediary.
Tax Information
Any dividends or capital gains are declared and paid annually, usually in December.
Distributions by the fund, whether or not you reinvest these amounts in additional
fund shares, may be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains unless you invest
through a tax-deferred account. A redemption or exchange of fund shares may be
taxable.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase shares of the fund through a broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary, the fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the
performance of administrative services. These payments may create a conflict of
interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson
to recommend the fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your
financial intermediary’s website for more information on these payments.
INFORMATION ABOUT ACCOUNTS IN
T. ROWE PRICE FUNDS 2
As a T. Rowe Price shareholder, you will want to know about the following policies
and procedures that apply to the T. Rowe Price family of funds.
PRICING SH ARES AND RECEIVING SALE PROCEEDS
How and When Shares Are Priced
The share price, also called the “net asset value,” for the funds is calculated at the
close of the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4 p.m. ET) each day that the
exchange is open for business. To calculate the net asset value, the fund’s assets are
valued and totaled; liabilities are subtracted; and the balance, called net assets, is
divided by the number of shares outstanding. Market values are used to price
portfolio holdings for which market quotations are readily available. Market values
represent the prices at which securities actually trade or evaluations based on the
judgment of the fund’s pricing services. If a market value for a security is not
available or normal valuation procedures are deemed to be inappropriate, the fund
will make a good faith effort to assign a fair value to the security by taking into
account various factors that have been approved by the fund’s Board of
Directors/Trustees. This value may differ from the value the fund receives upon sale
of the securities. Amortized cost is used to price securities held by money funds and
certain other debt securities held by a fund. Investments in other mutual funds are
valued at the closing net asset value per share of the mutual fund on the day of
valuation.
Non-U.S. equity securities are valued on the basis of their most recent closing market
prices at 4 p.m. ET except under the circumstances described below. Most foreign
markets close before 4 p.m. ET. For securities primarily traded in the Far East, for
example, the most recent closing prices may be as much as 15 hours old at 4 p.m.
ET. If a fund determines that developments between the close of a foreign market
and the close of the New York Stock Exchange will, in its judgment, materially affect
the value of some or all of the fund’s securities, the fund will adjust the previous
closing prices to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities as of
4 p.m. ET. In deciding whether to make these adjustments, the fund reviews a variety
of factors, including developments in foreign markets, the performance of U.S.
securities markets, and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that
represent foreign securities and baskets of foreign securities. The fund may also fair
value certain securities or a group of securities in other situations—for example,
when a particular foreign market is closed but the fund is open. The fund uses
outside pricing services to provide it with closing market prices and information used
for adjusting those prices and to value most fixed income securities. The fund cannot
predict how often it will use closing prices and how often it will adjust those prices.
INFORMATION ABOUT ACCOUNTS IN T. ROWE PRICE FUNDS 63
As a means of evaluating its fair value process, the fund routinely compares closing
market prices, the next day’s opening prices in the same markets, and adjusted
prices. The fund also evaluates a variety of factors when assigning fair values to
private placements and other restricted securities. Other mutual funds may adjust the
prices of their securities by different amounts or assign different fair values than the
fair value that the fund assigns to the same security.
The various ways you can buy, sell, and exchange shares are explained at the end of this
prospectus and on the New Account form. These procedures may differ for institutional
and employer-sponsored retirement accounts or if you hold your account through an
intermediary.
How Your Purchase, Sale, or Exchange Price Is Determined
If your request is received by T. Rowe Price in correct form by the close of the New
York Stock Exchange (normally 4 p.m. ET), your transaction will be priced at that
business day’s net asset value. If your request is received by T. Rowe Price after the
close of the New York Stock Exchange, your transaction will be priced at the next
business day’s net asset value.
The funds generally do not accept orders that request a particular day or price for a
transaction or any other special conditions.
Fund shares may be purchased through various third-party intermediaries, including
banks, brokers, and investment advisers. Where authorized by a fund, orders will be
priced at the net asset value next computed after receipt by the intermediary. Contact
your intermediary for trade deadlines and the applicable policies for purchasing,
selling, or exchanging your shares, as well as initial and subsequent investment
minimums. The intermediary may charge a fee for its services.
When authorized by the fund, certain financial institutions or retirement plans
purchasing fund shares on behalf of customers or plan participants through T. Rowe
Price Financial Institution Services or T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services may
place a purchase order unaccompanied by payment. Payment for these shares must
be received by the time designated by the fund (not to exceed the period established
for settlement under applicable regulations). If payment is not received by this time,
the order may be canceled. The financial institution or retirement plan is responsible
for any costs or losses incurred by the fund or T. Rowe Price if payment is delayed or
not received.
Note: The time at which transactions and shares are priced and the time until which
orders are accepted may be changed in case of an emergency or if the New York
Stock Exchange closes at a time other than 4 p.m. ET. In the event of an emergency
closing, a fund’s shareholders will receive the next share price calculated by the fund.
There may be times when you are unable to contact us by telephone or access your
account online due to extreme market activity, the unavailability of the T. Rowe Price
website, or other circumstances. Should this occur, your order must still be placed
T. ROWE PRICE 64
and accepted by T. Rowe Price prior to the time the New York Stock Exchange closes
to be priced at that business day’s net asset value. Under certain conditions, a money
fund may accept and process purchase and redemption orders beyond the close of
the New York Stock Exchange on days that the New York Stock Exchange closes
early and does not reopen, and may accept orders on a business day that the New
York Stock Exchange is unexpectedly closed.
How You Can Receive the Proceeds From a Sale
When filling out the New Account form, you may wish to give yourself the widest range of
options for receiving proceeds from a sale.
If your request is received in correct form by T. Rowe Price on a business day prior to
the close of the New York Stock Exchange, proceeds are usually sent on the next
business day. Proceeds can be mailed to you by check or sent electronically to your
bank account by Automated Clearing House transfer or bank wire. Automated
Clearing House is an automated method of initiating payments from, and receiving
payments in, your financial institution account. Proceeds sent by Automated Clearing
House transfer are usually credited to your account the second business day after the
sale and there are typically no fees associated with such payments. Proceeds sent by
bank wire are usually credited to your account the next business day after the sale,
although your financial institution may charge an incoming wire fee.
Exception Under certain circumstances, and when deemed to be in a fund’s best
interest, your proceeds may not be sent for up to seven calendar days after we receive
your redemption request. Under certain limited circumstances, the Board of
Directors/Trustees of a money fund may elect to suspend redemptions and postpone
payment of redemption proceeds in order to facilitate an orderly liquidation of the
money fund.
If for some reason we cannot accept your request to sell shares, we will contact you.
Contingent Redemption Fee
Short-term trading can disrupt a fund’s investment program and create additional
costs for long-term shareholders. For these reasons, certain T. Rowe Price funds,
listed in the following table, assess a fee on redemptions (including exchanges out of
a fund), which reduces the proceeds from such redemptions by the amounts
indicated:

Redemption fees are paid to a fund to deter short-term trading, offset costs, and
protect the fund’s long-term shareholders. Subject to the exceptions described on the
following pages, all persons holding shares of a T. Rowe Price fund that imposes a
redemption fee are subject to the fee, whether the person is holding shares directly
with a T. Rowe Price fund; through a retirement plan for which T. Rowe Price serves
as recordkeeper; or indirectly through an intermediary (such as a broker, bank, or
T. ROWE PRICE 66
investment adviser), recordkeeper for retirement plan participants, or other third
party.
Computation of Holding Period
When an investor sells shares of a fund that assesses a redemption fee, T. Rowe Price
will use the “first-in, first-out” method to determine the holding period for the shares
sold. Under this method, the date of redemption or exchange will be compared with
the earliest purchase date of shares held in the account. The day after the date of your
purchase is considered Day 1 for purposes of computing the holding period. For a
fund with a 365-day holding period, a redemption fee will be charged on shares sold
before the end of the required holding period. For funds with a 90-day holding
period, a redemption fee will be charged on shares sold on or before the end of the
required holding period. For example, if you redeem your shares on or before the
90th day from the date of purchase, you will be assessed the redemption fee. If you
purchase shares through an intermediary, consult your intermediary to determine
how the holding period will be applied.
Transactions Not Subject to Redemption Fees
The T. Rowe Price funds will not assess a redemption fee with respect to certain
transactions. As of the date of this prospectus, the following shares of T. Rowe Price
funds will not be subject to redemption fees:
• Shares redeemed through an automated, systematic withdrawal plan;
• Shares redeemed through or used to establish certain rebalancing, asset allocation,
wrap, and advisory programs, as well as non-T. Rowe Price fund-of-funds
products, if approved in writing by T. Rowe Price;
• Shares purchased through the reinvestment of dividends or capital gain
distributions;*
• Shares converted from one share class to another share class of the same fund;*
• Shares redeemed automatically by a fund to pay fund fees or shareholder account
fees (e.g., for failure to meet account minimums);
• Shares purchased by rollover or changes of account registration within the same
fund;*
• Shares redeemed to return an excess contribution from a retirement account;
• Shares of T. Rowe Price funds purchased by another T. Rowe Price fund and shares
purchased by discretionary accounts managed by T. Rowe Price or one of its
affiliates (please note that other shareholders of the investing T. Rowe Price fund
are still subject to the policy);
• Shares that are redeemed in-kind;
• Shares transferred to T. Rowe Price or a third-party intermediary acting as a service
provider when the age of the shares cannot be determined systematically;* and
• Shares redeemed in retirement plans or other products that restrict trading to no
more frequently than once per quarter, if approved in writing by T. Rowe Price.
* Subsequent exchanges of these shares into funds that assess redemption fees will subject such shares to the fee.
INFORMATION ABOUT ACCOUNTS IN T. ROWE PRICE FUNDS 67
Redemption Fees on Shares Held in Retirement Plans
If shares are held in a retirement plan, redemption fees generally will be assessed on
shares redeemed by exchange only if they were originally purchased by exchange.
However, redemption fees may apply to transactions other than exchanges depending
on how shares of the plan are held at T. Rowe Price or how the fees are applied by
your plan’s recordkeeper. To determine which of your transactions are subject to
redemption fees, you should contact T. Rowe Price or your plan recordkeeper.
Omnibus Accounts
If your shares are held through an intermediary in an omnibus account, T. Rowe
Price relies on the intermediary to assess the redemption fee on underlying
shareholder accounts. T. Rowe Price seeks to identify intermediaries establishing
omnibus accounts and to enter into agreements requiring the intermediary to assess
the redemption fees. There are no assurances that T. Rowe Price will be successful in
identifying all intermediaries or that the intermediaries will properly assess the fees.
Certain intermediaries may not apply the exemptions previously listed to the
redemption fee policy; all redemptions by persons trading through such
intermediaries may be subject to the fee. Certain intermediaries may exempt
transactions not listed from redemption fees, if approved by T. Rowe Price. Persons
redeeming shares through an intermediary should check with their respective
intermediary to determine which transactions are subject to the fees.
USEFUL INFORMATION ON DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAX ES
Each fund intends to qualify to be treated each year as a regulated investment
company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In
order to qualify, a fund must satisfy certain income, diversification, and distribution
requirements. A regulated investment company is not subject to U.S. federal income
tax at the portfolio level on income and gains from investments that are distributed to
shareholders. However, if a fund were to fail to qualify as a regulated investment
company and was ineligible to or otherwise did not cure such failure, the result
would be fund-level taxation and, consequently, a reduction in income available for
distribution to the fund’s shareholders.
To the extent possible, all net investment income and realized capital gains are
distributed to shareholders.
Dividends and Other Distributions
Dividend and capital gain distributions are reinvested in additional fund shares in
your account unless you select another option. Reinvesting distributions results in
compounding, which allows you to receive dividends and capital gain distributions
on an increasing number of shares.
T. ROWE PRICE 68
Distributions not reinvested are paid by check or transmitted to your bank account
via Automated Clearing House. If the U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver your check,
or if your check remains uncashed for six months, the fund reserves the right to
reinvest your distribution check in your account at the net asset value on the day of
the reinvestment and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the fund.
Interest will not accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distributions or
redemption checks.
The following table provides details on dividend payments:
Dividend Payment Schedule
Fund Dividends
Money funds • Purchases received by T. Rowe Price by noon ET via wire
begin to earn dividends on that day. Other shares normally
begin to earn dividends on the business day after payment
is received by T. Rowe Price.
• Declared daily and paid on the first business day of each
month.
Bond funds • Shares normally begin to earn dividends on the business
day after payment is received by T. Rowe Price.
• Declared daily and paid on the first business day of each
month.
These stock funds only:
• Balanced
• Dividend Growth
• Equity Income
• Equity Index 500
• Global Real Estate
• Growth & Income
• Personal Strategy Balanced
• Personal Strategy Income
• Real Estate
• Declared and paid quarterly, if any, in March, June,
September, and December.
• Must be a shareholder on the dividend record date.
Other stock funds • Declared and paid annually, if any, generally in December.
• Must be a shareholder on the dividend record date.
Retirement and Spectrum Funds:
• Retirement Income and
Spectrum Income
• Shares normally begin to earn dividends on the business
day after payment is received by T. Rowe Price.
• Declared daily and paid on the first business day of each
month.
• All others • Declared and paid annually, if any, generally in December.
• Must be a shareholder on the dividend record date.
Bond and money fund shares earn dividends through the date of redemption (except
for wire redemptions from money funds prior to noon ET, which earn dividends
through the calendar day prior to the date of redemption). Shares redeemed on a
Friday or prior to a holiday will continue to earn dividends until the next business
INFORMATION ABOUT ACCOUNTS IN T. ROWE PRICE FUNDS 69
day. Generally, if you redeem all of your bond or money fund shares at any time
during the month, you will also receive all dividends earned through the date of
redemption in the same check. When you redeem only a portion of your bond or
money fund shares, all dividends accrued on those shares will be reinvested, or paid
in cash, on the next dividend payment date. The funds do not pay dividends in
fractional cents. Any dividend amount earned for a particular day on all shares held
that is one-half of one cent or greater (for example, $0.016) will be rounded up to
the next whole cent ($0.02), and any amount that is less than one-half of one cent
(for example, $0.014) will be rounded down to the nearest whole cent ($0.01).
Please note that if the dividend payable on all shares held is less than one-half of one
cent for a particular day, no dividend will be earned for that day.
If you purchase and sell your shares through an intermediary, consult your
intermediary to determine when your shares begin and stop accruing dividends; the
information previously described may vary.
Capital Gain Payments
A capital gain or loss is the difference between the purchase and sale price of a
security. If a fund has net capital gains for the year (after subtracting any capital
losses), they are usually declared and paid in December to shareholders of record on
a specified date that month. If a second distribution is necessary, it is paid the
following year.
Capital gain payments are not expected from money funds, which are managed to
maintain a constant share price.
Tax Information
In most cases, you will be provided information for your tax filing needs no later than
mid-February.
If you invest in the fund through a tax-deferred account, such as an individual
retirement account, you will not be subject to tax on dividends and distributions
from the fund or the sale of fund shares if those amounts remain in the tax-deferred
account. You may receive a Form 1099-R or other Internal Revenue Service forms, as
applicable, if any portion of the account is distributed to you.
If you invest in the fund through a taxable account, you generally will be subject to
tax when:
• You sell fund shares, including an exchange from one fund to another.
• The fund makes dividend or capital gain distributions.
Additional information about the taxation of dividends for certain T. Rowe Price
funds is listed below:
Tax-Free and Municipal Funds
• Regular monthly dividends (including those from the state-specific tax-free funds) are expected to
be exempt from federal income taxes.
T. ROWE PRICE 70
Tax-Free and Municipal Funds
• Exemption is not guaranteed, since the fund has the right under certain conditions to invest in
nonexempt securities.
• A fund may hold Build America Bonds or other qualified tax credit bonds. Investments in these
bonds will result in taxable interest income, although the federal income tax on such interest
income may be fully or partially offset by the specified tax credits that are available to the
bondholders. A fund may elect to pass through to the shareholders taxable interest income and
any corresponding tax credits. Any available tax credits—which are also included in federal
taxable income—generally can be used to offset federal regular income tax and alternative
minimum tax, but those tax credits generally are not refundable.
• Tax-exempt dividends paid to Social Security recipients may increase the portion of benefits that
is subject to tax.
• For state-specific funds, the monthly dividends you receive are expected to be exempt from state
and local income tax of that particular state. For other funds, a small portion of your income
dividend may be exempt from state and local income taxes.
• If a fund invests in certain “private activity” bonds that are not exempt from the alternative
minimum tax, shareholders who are subject to the alternative minimum tax must include income
generated by those bonds in their alternative minimum tax calculation. Private activity bonds
issued in 2009 and 2010, and refunding bonds issued in 2009 and 2010 to refund private activity
bonds that were issued from the beginning of 2004 to the end of 2008, are exempt from the
alternative minimum tax. The portion of a fund’s income dividend that should be included in your
alternative minimum tax calculation, if any, will be reported to you in January on Form 1099-DIV.
For individual shareholders, a portion of ordinary dividends representing “qualified
dividend income” received by the fund may be subject to tax at the lower rates
applicable to long-term capital gains rather than ordinary income. You may report it
as “qualified dividend income” in computing your taxes, provided you have held the
fund shares on which the dividend was paid for more than 60 days during the
121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date. Ordinary dividends
that do not qualify for this lower rate are generally taxable at the investor’s marginal
income tax rate. This includes the portion of ordinary dividends derived from
interest, short-term capital gains, distributions from nonqualified foreign
corporations, and dividends received by the fund from stocks that were on loan.
Little, if any, of the ordinary dividends paid by the Global Real Estate Fund, Real
Estate Fund, or the bond and money funds is expected to qualify for this lower rate.
For corporate shareholders, a portion of ordinary dividends may be eligible for the
70% deduction for dividends received by corporations to the extent the fund’s
income consists of dividends paid by U.S. corporations. Little, if any, of the ordinary
dividends paid by the international stock funds or the bond and money funds is
expected to qualify for this deduction.
Beginning in 2013, a 3.8% Medicare contribution tax is imposed on net investment
income, including interest, dividends, and capital gains, of U.S. individuals with
income exceeding $200,000 (or $250,000 if married filing jointly) and of estates and
trusts.
INFORMATION ABOUT ACCOUNTS IN T. ROWE PRICE FUNDS 71
Taxes on Fund Redemptions
When you sell shares in any fund, you may realize a gain or loss. An exchange from
one fund to another is also a sale for tax purposes.
T. Rowe Price will make available to you Form 1099-B, if applicable, no later than
mid-February, indicating the date and amount of each sale you made in the fund
during the prior year. This information will also be reported to the Internal Revenue
Service. For most new accounts or those opened by exchange in 1984 or later, we
will provide you with the gain or loss on the shares you sold during the year based
on the average cost single category method. You may calculate the cost basis using
other methods acceptable to the Internal Revenue Service, such as specific
identification.
If you hold your fund through an intermediary, the intermediary is responsible for
providing you with any necessary tax forms. You should contact your intermediary
for the tax information that will be sent to you and reported to the Internal Revenue
Service.
For mutual fund shares acquired after 2011, new tax regulations require us to
report the cost basis information to you and the Internal Revenue Service on
Form 1099-B using a cost basis method selected by you or, in the absence of such
selected method, our default method if you acquire your shares directly from us. Our
default method is average cost. If you acquire your fund shares through an
intermediary after 2011, you should check with your intermediary regarding the
applicable cost basis method. You should, however, note that the cost basis
information reported to you may not always be the same as what you should report
on your tax return because the rules applicable to the determination of cost basis on
Form 1099-B may be different from the rules applicable to the determination of cost
basis for reporting on your tax return. Therefore, you should save your transaction
records to make sure the information reported on your tax return is accurate. To help
you maintain accurate records, T. Rowe Price will make available to you a
confirmation promptly following each transaction you make (except for systematic
purchases and systematic redemptions) and a year-end statement detailing all of your
transactions in each fund account during the year. If you hold your fund through an
intermediary, the intermediary is responsible for providing you with transaction
confirmations and statements.
Taxes on Fund Distributions
T. Rowe Price (or your intermediary) will make available to you, as applicable, no
later than mid-February, a Form 1099-DIV, or other Internal Revenue Service forms,
as required, indicating the tax status of any income dividends, dividends exempt
from federal income taxes, and capital gain distributions made to you. This
information will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service. Taxable distributions
are generally taxable to you in the year in which they are paid. Your bond or money
fund dividends for each calendar year will include dividends accrued up to the first
T. ROWE PRICE 72
business day of the next calendar year. You will be sent any additional information
you need to determine your taxes on fund distributions, such as the portion of your
dividends, if any, that may be exempt from state and local income taxes. Dividends
from tax-free funds are generally expected to be tax-exempt.
The tax treatment of a capital gain distribution is determined by how long the fund
held the portfolio securities, not how long you held the shares in the fund. Short-
term (one year or less) capital gain distributions are taxable at the same rate as
ordinary income, and gains on securities held for more than one year are taxed at the
lower rates applicable to long-term capital gains. If you realized a loss on the sale or
exchange of fund shares that you held for six months or less, your short-term capital
loss must be reclassified as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any long-term
capital gain distributions received during the period you held the shares. For funds
investing in foreign securities, distributions resulting from the sale of certain foreign
currencies, currency contracts, and the foreign currency portion of gains on debt
securities are taxed as ordinary income. Net foreign currency losses may cause
monthly or quarterly dividends to be reclassified as a return of capital.
If the fund qualifies and elects to pass through nonrefundable foreign income taxes
paid to foreign governments during the year, your portion of such taxes will be
reported to you as taxable income. However, you may be able to claim an offsetting
credit or deduction on your tax return for those amounts. There can be no assurance
that a fund will meet the requirements to pass through foreign income taxes paid.
Taxable distributions are subject to tax whether reinvested in additional shares or
received in cash.
If a fund holds Build America Bonds or other qualified tax credit bonds and elects to
pass through the corresponding interest income and any available tax credits, you
will need to report both the interest income and any such tax credits as taxable
income. You may be able to claim the tax credits on your federal tax return as an
offset to your income tax (including alternative minimum tax) liability, but the tax
credits generally are not refundable. There is no assurance, however, that a fund will
elect to pass through the income and credits.
The following table provides additional details on distributions for certain funds:
Taxes on Fund Distributions
Tax-Free and Municipal Funds
• Gains realized on the sale of market discount bonds with maturities beyond one year may be
treated as ordinary income and cannot be offset by other capital losses.
• Payments received or gains realized on certain derivative transactions may result in taxable
ordinary income or capital gains.
• To the extent the fund makes such investments, the likelihood of a taxable distribution will be
increased.
INFORMATION ABOUT ACCOUNTS IN T. ROWE PRICE FUNDS 73
Taxes on Fund Distributions
Inflation Protected Bond Fund
• Inflation adjustments on Treasury inflation-protected securities that exceed deflation adjustments
for the year will be distributed as a short-term capital gain resulting in ordinary income.
• In computing the distribution amount, the fund cannot reduce inflation adjustments by short- or
long-term capital losses from the sales of securities.
• Net deflation adjustments for a year may result in all or a portion of dividends paid earlier in the
year being treated as a return of capital.
Retirement and Spectrum Funds
• Distributions by the underlying funds and changes in asset allocations may result in taxable
distributions of ordinary income or capital gains.
Tax Consequences of Hedging
Entering into certain options, futures, swaps, and forward foreign exchange contracts
and transactions may result in the application of the mark-to-market and straddle
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. These provisions could result in a fund
being required to distribute gains on such transactions even though it did not close
the contracts during the year or receive cash to pay such distributions. The fund may
not be able to reduce its distributions for losses on such transactions to the extent of
unrealized gains in offsetting positions.
Tax Effect of Buying Shares Before an Income Dividend or Capital Gain Distribution
If you buy shares shortly before or on the record date—the date that establishes you
as the person to receive the upcoming distribution—you may receive a portion of the
money you just invested in the form of a taxable distribution. Therefore, you may
wish to find out a fund’s record date before investing. In addition, a fund’s share
price may, at any time, reflect undistributed capital gains or income and unrealized
appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions. Such distributions can
occur even in a year when the fund has a negative return.
TRANSACTION PROCEDURES AND SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
Following these procedures helps assure timely and accurate transactions.
Purchase Conditions
Nonpayment If you pay with a check or Automated Clearing House transfer that
does not clear or if your payment is not received in a timely manner, your purchase
may be canceled. You will be responsible for any losses or expenses incurred by the
fund or transfer agent, and the fund can redeem shares you own in this or another
identically registered T. Rowe Price account as reimbursement. The funds and their
agents have the right to reject or cancel any purchase, exchange, or redemption due
to nonpayment.
T. ROWE PRICE 74
U.S. Dollars All purchases must be paid for in U.S. dollars; checks must be drawn on
U.S. banks.
Sale (Redemption) Conditions
Holds on Immediate Redemptions: 10-Day Hold If you sell shares that you just
purchased and paid for by check or Automated Clearing House transfer, the fund will
process your redemption but generally will delay sending you the proceeds for up to
10 calendar days to allow the check or transfer to clear. If, during the clearing period,
we receive a check drawn against your newly purchased shares, it will be returned
marked “uncollected.” (The 10-day hold does not apply to purchases paid for by
bank wire or automatic purchases through your paycheck.)
Telephone and Online Account Transactions You may access your account and
conduct transactions using the telephone or the T. Rowe Price website. The T. Rowe
Price funds and their agents use reasonable procedures to verify the identity of the
shareholder. If these procedures are followed, the funds and their agents are not
liable for any losses that may occur from acting on unauthorized instructions. A
confirmation is sent promptly after a transaction. Please review it carefully and
contact T. Rowe Price immediately about any transaction you believe to be
unauthorized. Telephone conversations are recorded.
Large Redemptions Large redemptions can adversely affect a portfolio manager’s
ability to implement a fund’s investment strategy by causing the premature sale of
securities. Therefore, the fund reserves the right (without prior notice) to pay all or
part of redemption proceeds with securities from the fund’s portfolio rather than in
cash (“redemption in-kind”). If this occurs, the securities will be selected by the fund
in its absolute discretion, and the redeeming shareholder or account will be
responsible for disposing of the securities and bearing any associated costs.
Excessive and Short-Term Trading Policy
Excessive transactions and short-term trading can be harmful to fund shareholders in
various ways, such as disrupting a fund’s portfolio management strategies, increasing
a fund’s trading costs, and negatively affecting its performance. Short-term traders in
funds that invest in foreign securities may seek to take advantage of developments
overseas that could lead to an anticipated difference between the price of the funds’
shares and price movements in foreign markets. While there is no assurance that
T. Rowe Price can prevent all excessive and short-term trading, the Boards of
Directors/Trustees of the T. Rowe Price funds have adopted the following trading
limits that are designed to deter such activity and protect the funds’ shareholders.
The funds may revise their trading limits and procedures at any time as the Boards of
Directors/Trustees deem necessary or appropriate to better detect short-term trading
that may adversely affect the funds, to comply with applicable regulatory
requirements, or to impose additional or alternative restrictions.
Subject to certain exceptions, each T. Rowe Price fund restricts a shareholder’s
purchases (including through exchanges) into a fund account for a period of
INFORMATION ABOUT ACCOUNTS IN T. ROWE PRICE FUNDS 75
30 calendar days after the shareholder has redeemed or exchanged out of that same
fund account (the “30-Day Purchase Block”). The calendar day after the date of
redemption is considered Day 1 for purposes of computing the period before another
purchase may be made.
General Exceptions As of the date of this prospectus, the following types of
transactions generally are not subject to the 30-Day Purchase Block:
• Shares purchased or redeemed in money funds and ultra short-term bond funds;
• Shares purchased or redeemed through a systematic purchase or withdrawal plan;
• Checkwriting redemptions from bond and money funds;
• Shares purchased through the reinvestment of dividends or capital gain
distributions;
• Shares redeemed by the fund to pay fund fees or shareholder account fees;
• Transfers and changes of account registration within the same fund;
• Shares purchased by asset transfer or direct rollover;
• Shares purchased or redeemed through IRA conversions and recharacterizations;
• Shares redeemed to return an excess contribution from a retirement account;
• Transactions in Section 529 college savings plans;
• Shares converted from one share class to another share class in the same fund; and
• Shares of T. Rowe Price funds that are purchased by another T. Rowe Price fund,
including shares purchased by T. Rowe Price fund-of-funds products, and shares
purchased by discretionary accounts managed by T. Rowe Price or one of its
affiliates (please note that shareholders of the investing T. Rowe Price fund are still
subject to the policy).
Transactions in certain rebalancing, asset allocation, wrap programs, and other
advisory programs, as well as non-T. Rowe Price fund-of-funds products, may also be
exempt from the 30-Day Purchase Block, subject to prior written approval by
T. Rowe Price.
In addition to restricting transactions in accordance with the 30-Day Purchase Block,
T. Rowe Price may, in its discretion, reject (or instruct an intermediary to reject) any
purchase or exchange into a fund from a person (which includes individuals and
entities) whose trading activity could disrupt the management of the fund or dilute
the value of the fund’s shares, including trading by persons acting collectively (e.g.,
following the advice of a newsletter). Such persons may be barred, without prior
notice, from further purchases of T. Rowe Price funds for a period longer than
30 calendar days or permanently.
Intermediary Accounts If you invest in T. Rowe Price funds through an intermediary,
you should review the intermediary’s materials carefully or consult with the
intermediary directly to determine the trading policy that will apply to your trades in
the funds as well as any other rules or conditions on transactions that may apply. If
T. Rowe Price is unable to identify a transaction placed through an intermediary as
exempt from the excessive trading policy, the 30-Day Purchase Block may apply.
T. ROWE PRICE 76
Intermediaries may maintain their underlying accounts directly with the fund,
although they often establish an omnibus account (one account with the fund that
represents multiple underlying shareholder accounts) on behalf of their customers.
When intermediaries establish omnibus accounts in the T. Rowe Price funds,
T. Rowe Price is not able to monitor the trading activity of the underlying
shareholders. However, T. Rowe Price monitors aggregate trading activity at the
intermediary (omnibus account) level in an attempt to identify activity that indicates
potential excessive or short-term trading. If it detects suspicious trading activity,
T. Rowe Price contacts the intermediary and may request personal identifying
information and transaction histories for some or all underlying shareholders
(including plan participants, if applicable). If T. Rowe Price believes that excessive or
short-term trading has occurred, it will instruct the intermediary to impose
restrictions to discourage such practices and take appropriate action with respect to
the underlying shareholder, including restricting purchases for 30 calendar days or
longer. There is no assurance that T. Rowe Price will be able to properly enforce its
excessive trading policies for omnibus accounts. Because T. Rowe Price generally
relies on intermediaries to provide information and impose restrictions for omnibus
accounts, its ability to monitor and deter excessive trading will be dependent upon
the intermediaries’ timely performance of their responsibilities.
T. Rowe Price may allow an intermediary or other third party to maintain restrictions
on trading in the T. Rowe Price funds that differ from the 30-Day Purchase Block. An
alternative excessive trading policy would be acceptable to T. Rowe Price if it believes
that the policy would provide sufficient protection to the T. Rowe Price funds and
their shareholders that is consistent with the excessive trading policy adopted by the
funds’ Boards of Directors/Trustees.
Retirement Plan Accounts If shares are held in a retirement plan, generally the
30-Day Purchase Block applies only to shares redeemed by a participant-directed
exchange to another fund. However, the 30-Day Purchase Block may apply to
transactions other than exchanges depending on how shares of the plan are held at
T. Rowe Price or the excessive trading policy applied by your plan’s recordkeeper. An
alternative excessive trading policy may apply to the T. Rowe Price funds where a
retirement plan has its own policy deemed acceptable to T. Rowe Price. You should
contact T. Rowe Price or your plan recordkeeper to determine which of your
transactions are subject to the funds’ 30-Day Purchase Block or an alternative policy.
There is no guarantee that T. Rowe Price will be able to identify or prevent all excessive or
short-term trades or trading practices.
Keeping Your Account Open
Due to the relatively high cost to a fund of maintaining small accounts, we ask you to
maintain an account balance of at least $1,000 ($10,000 for Summit Funds). If, for
any reason, your balance is below this amount for three months or longer, we have
INFORMATION ABOUT ACCOUNTS IN T. ROWE PRICE FUNDS 77
the right to redeem your account at the then-current net asset value after giving you
60 days to increase your balance. This could result in a taxable gain.
Signature Guarantees
A Medallion signature guarantee is designed to protect you and the T. Rowe Price funds
from fraud by verifying your signature.
You may need to have your signature guaranteed in certain situations, such as:
• Written requests: (1) to redeem over $100,000 or (2) to wire redemption proceeds
when prior bank account authorization is not on file.
• Remitting redemption proceeds to any person, address, or bank account not on
record.
• Transferring redemption proceeds to a T. Rowe Price fund account with a different
registration (name or ownership) from yours.
• Establishing certain services after the account is opened.
The signature guarantee must be obtained from a financial institution that is a
participant in a Medallion signature guarantee program. You can obtain a Medallion
signature guarantee from most banks, savings institutions, broker-dealers, and other
guarantors acceptable to T. Rowe Price. When obtaining a Medallion signature
guarantee, please discuss with the guarantor the dollar amount of your proposed
transaction. It is important that the level of coverage provided by the guarantor’s
stamp covers the dollar amount of the transaction or it may be rejected. We cannot
accept guarantees from notaries public or organizations that do not provide
reimbursement in the case of fraud.
ACCOUNT SERVICE FEE
In an effort to help offset the disproportionately high costs incurred by the funds in
connection with servicing lower-balance accounts, an annual $20 account service fee
(paid to T. Rowe Price Services, Inc., or one of its affiliates) is charged to certain fund
accounts with a balance below $10,000. The determination of whether a fund
account is subject to the account service fee is based on account balances and services
selected for accounts as of the last business day of August. The fee will be charged to
an account with a balance below $10,000 for any reason, including market
fluctuation and recent redemptions. The fee, which is automatically deducted from
an account by redeeming fund shares, is typically charged to accounts in early
September each calendar year.
The account service fee generally does not apply to fund accounts that are held
through an intermediary, participant accounts in employer-sponsored retirement
plans for which T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services provides recordkeeping
services, or money funds that are used as a T. Rowe Price Brokerage sweep account.
T. ROWE PRICE 78
Regardless of a particular fund account’s balance on the last business day of August,
the account service fee is automatically waived for accounts that satisfy any of the
following conditions:
• Any accounts for which the shareholder has elected to receive electronic delivery of
all of the following: account statements, transaction confirmations, and
prospectuses and shareholder reports;
• Any accounts of a shareholder with at least $50,000 in total assets with T. Rowe
Price (for this purpose, total assets includes investments in T. Rowe Price mutual
funds, except for those held through a retirement plan for which T. Rowe Price
Retirement Plan Services provides recordkeeping services; T. Rowe Price Brokerage;
and T. Rowe Price variable annuities); or
• Any accounts of a shareholder who is a T. Rowe Price Preferred Services, Personal
Services, or Enhanced Personal Services client (enrollment in these programs
generally requires T. Rowe Price assets of at least $100,000—visit troweprice.com
or call 1-800-537-1098 for more information).
T. Rowe Price reserves the right to authorize additional waivers for other types of
accounts or to modify the conditions for assessment of the account service fee. Fund
shares held in a T. Rowe Price individual retirement account, Education Savings
Account, or small business retirement plan account (including certain 403(b) plan
accounts) are subject to the account service fee and may be subject to additional
administrative fees when distributing all fund shares from such accounts.

ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT
How are the funds organized?
T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc. (the “corporation”) was incorporated in
Maryland in 1979. Currently, the corporation consists of 18 series, each representing
a separate pool of assets with different objectives and investment policies. Each is an
“open-end management investment company,” or mutual fund. Mutual funds pool
money received from shareholders and invest it to try to achieve specified objectives.
What is meant by “shares”?
As with all mutual funds, investors purchase shares when they put money in a fund.
These shares are part of a fund’s authorized capital stock, but share certificates are
not issued.
Each share and fractional share entitles the shareholder to:
• Receive a proportional interest in income and capital gain distributions.
• Cast one vote per share on certain fund matters, including the election of fund
directors/trustees, changes in fundamental policies, or approval of changes in the
fund’s management contract.
Do T. Rowe Price funds have annual shareholder meetings?
The funds are not required to hold annual meetings and, to avoid unnecessary costs
to fund shareholders, do not do so except when certain matters, such as a change in
fundamental policies, must be decided. In addition, shareholders representing at least
10% of all eligible votes may call a special meeting for the purpose of voting on the
removal of any fund director or trustee. If a meeting is held and you cannot attend,
you can vote by proxy. Before the meeting, the fund will send or make available to
you proxy materials that explain the issues to be decided and include instructions on
voting by mail or telephone or on the Internet.
Who runs the funds?
General Oversight
Each fund is governed by a Board of Directors that meets regularly to review fund
investments, performance, expenses, and other business affairs. The Board elects the
fund’s officers. At least 75% of Board members are independent of T. Rowe Price and
its affiliates (the “Firm”).
All decisions regarding the purchase and sale of fund investments are made by T. Rowe
Price or an affiliated investment adviser—specifically by each fund’s portfolio manager.

The Management Fee
This fee has two parts–an “individual fund fee,” which reflects a fund’s particular
characteristics, and a “group fee.” The group fee, which is designed to reflect the
benefits of the shared resources of the T. Rowe Price investment management
complex, is calculated daily based on the combined net assets of all T. Rowe Price
funds (except the Spectrum Funds, Retirement Funds, TRP Reserve Investment
Funds, and any index or private label mutual funds). The group fee schedule (in the
following table) is graduated, declining as the asset total rises, so shareholders benefit
from the overall growth in mutual fund assets.
Group Fee Schedule
0.334%* First $50 billion
0.305% Next $30 billion
0.300% Next $40 billion
0.295% Next $40 billion
0.290% Next $60 billion
0.285% Next $80 billion
0.280% Thereafter
* Represents a blended group fee rate containing various breakpoints.
Each fund’s group fee is determined by applying the group fee rate to the fund’s
average daily net assets. On October 31, 2012, the annual group fee rate was 0.30%.
The individual fund fees, also applied to the funds’ average daily net assets, are as
follows: International Growth & Income, International Stock, and Overseas Stock
Funds, 0.35%; European Stock, Japan, and New Asia Funds, 0.50%; Africa & Middle
East, Emerging Europe, Emerging Markets Stock, International Discovery, and Latin
America Funds, 0.75%.
The expenses shown in the fee tables in Section 1 are generally based on a fund’s
prior fiscal year. In periods of market volatility, assets may decline significantly,
causing total annual fund operating expenses to become higher than the numbers
shown in the fee tables.
A discussion about the factors considered by the Board and its conclusions in
approving each fund’s investment management contract with T. Rowe Price appears
in each fund’s semiannual report to shareholders for the period ended April 30.

Fund Operations and Shareholder Services
T. Rowe Price provides accounting services to the T. Rowe Price funds. T. Rowe Price
Services, Inc. acts as the transfer and dividend disbursing agent and provides
shareholder and administrative services to the funds. T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan
Services, Inc., provides recordkeeping, sub-transfer agency, and administrative
services for certain types of retirement plans investing in the funds. These companies
receive compensation from the funds for their services. The funds may also pay third-
party intermediaries for performing shareholder and administrative services for
underlying shareholders in omnibus accounts. All funds also serve as underlying
funds in which certain fund-of-funds products, the T. Rowe Price Spectrum and/or
Retirement Funds, invest. Subject to approval by each fund’s Board, each fund bears
a proportional share of the operating expenses of the fund-of-funds products. All of
the fees discussed above are included in the fees and expenses table under “Other
expenses” and in the fund’s financial statements.
MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS AND THEIR INVESTMENT RISKS
Consider your investment goals, your time horizon for achieving them, and your
tolerance for risk. The funds may be appropriate for you if you are seeking
diversification for your equity investments and can accept the risks that accompany
foreign investments. Your decision should take into account whether you have any
other foreign stock investments. If you do not, you may want to consider investing in
a more widely diversified fund to gain the broadest exposure to global opportunities.
A diversified emerging markets fund may be an appropriate part of your overall
portfolio if you are supplementing existing holdings primarily in developed foreign
markets and are comfortable with the potentially significant volatility associated with
investing in emerging markets. If you seek to supplement a diversified international
portfolio with a more concentrated investment, a fund focusing on a particular
geographic area may be appropriate.
The market frequently rewards growth stocks with price increases when earnings
expectations are met or exceeded. Funds that employ a growth-oriented approach to
stock selection rely on the premise that by investing in companies that increase their
earnings faster than both inflation and the overall economy, the market will
eventually reward those companies with a higher stock price. A fund’s successful
implementation of a growth-oriented strategy should lead to long-term growth of
capital over time.
Funds that employ a value-oriented approach to stock selection seek to invest in
companies whose stock prices are low in relation to the value of their assets or future
prospects. By identifying companies whose stocks are currently out of favor or
undervalued, value funds hope to realize significant appreciation as other investors
recognize the stock’s intrinsic value and the price rises accordingly. Generally, careful
MORE ABOUT THE FUNDS 85
selection of stocks having value characteristics can, over time, limit the downside risk
of a value-oriented portfolio compared with the broad market. In addition, stocks
whose prices are below a company’s intrinsic value may offer the potential for
substantial capital appreciation.
Investing abroad increases the opportunities available to you. Some foreign countries
may have greater potential for economic growth than the U.S. Emerging market,
regional, and single-country funds allow investors to seek potentially superior growth
in the areas they view as most promising, but with commensurately higher risks.
Investing a portion of your overall portfolio in stock funds with foreign holdings can
enhance your diversification while providing the opportunity to increase long-term
returns.
Portfolio managers closely monitor fund investments as well as political and
economic trends in each country and region. Holdings are adjusted according to the
portfolio manager’s analysis and outlook. The impact of unfavorable developments in
a particular country may be reduced when investments are spread among many
countries. However, the economies and financial markets of countries in a certain
region may be heavily influenced by one another.

T. ROWE PRICE 86
The risk profile of the funds varies with the investment style they pursue, their
geographic focus, and whether they invest in developed markets, emerging markets,
or both. Even investments in countries with highly developed economies are subject
to significant risks.
As with all stock funds, a fund’s share price can fall because of weakness in one or
more of its primary equity markets, a particular industry, or specific holdings. Stock
markets can decline for many reasons, including adverse political, social, or
economic developments, changes in investor psychology, or heavy institutional
selling. The prospects for an industry or company may deteriorate because of a
variety of factors, including disappointing earnings or changes in the competitive
environment. In addition, our assessment of companies held in a fund may prove
incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance, even in rising markets.
Growth stocks can be volatile for several reasons. Since these companies usually
invest a high portion of earnings in their businesses, they may lack the dividends that
can cushion stock prices in a falling market. Also, earnings disappointments often
lead to sharply falling prices because investors buy growth stocks in anticipation of
superior earnings growth.
Finding undervalued stocks requires considerable research to identify the particular
company, analyze its financial condition and prospects, and assess the likelihood that
the stock’s underlying value will be recognized by the market and reflected in its
price. A value approach to investing carries the risk that the market will not
recognize a security’s intrinsic value for a long time or that a stock judged to be
undervalued may actually be appropriately priced.
Funds that invest overseas generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in
U.S. assets.
As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee the funds will achieve their
objectives. The funds’ share price fluctuates, which means you could lose money
when you sell your shares of the funds. Some particular risks affecting the funds
include the following:
Currency risk This refers to a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the
U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that foreign
currency. The overall impact on a fund’s holdings can be significant, unpredictable,
and long-lasting, depending on the currencies represented in the fund’s portfolio and
how each foreign currency appreciates or depreciates in relation to the U.S. dollar
and whether currency positions are hedged. Under normal conditions, the funds do
not engage in extensive foreign currency hedging programs. Further, since exchange
rate movements are volatile, a fund’s attempts at hedging could be unsuccessful, and
it is not possible to effectively hedge the currency risks of many emerging market
countries.
MORE ABOUT THE FUNDS 87
Other risks of foreign investing Risks can result from varying stages of economic and
political development, differing regulatory environments, trading days and
accounting standards, uncertain tax laws, and higher transaction costs of non-U.S.
markets. Investments outside the U.S. could be subject to governmental actions such
as capital or currency controls, nationalization of a company or industry,
expropriation of assets, or imposition of high taxes. A trading market may close
without warning for extended time periods, preventing a fund from buying or selling
securities in that market.
Trading in the underlying securities of the funds may take place in various foreign
markets on certain days when the funds are not open for business and do not
calculate net asset values. For example, the Africa & Middle East Fund invests in
securities that trade in various foreign markets that are open on weekends. As a
result, net asset values may be significantly affected on days when shareholders
cannot make transactions.
Emerging markets risk (Africa & Middle East, Emerging Europe, Emerging Markets
Stock, Latin America, New Asia Funds; other funds to a lesser degree, except Japan Fund)
Investments in emerging markets, which include Africa, parts of Europe and much of
Asia, the Middle East, and Central and South America, are subject to the risk of
abrupt and severe price declines. The economic and political structures of emerging
market countries, in most cases, do not compare favorably with the U.S. or other
developed countries in terms of wealth and stability, and their financial markets often
lack liquidity. These economies are less developed and can be overly reliant on
particular industries and more vulnerable to the ebb and flow of international trade,
trade barriers, and other protectionist or retaliatory measures. Certain countries have
legacies and periodic episodes of hyperinflation and currency devaluations,
particularly Russia and many Latin American nations, and more recently many Asian
countries. Governments in many emerging market countries participate to a
significant degree in their economies and securities markets. Foreign investments
may be restricted and subject to greater government control, including repatriation of
sales proceeds. Some countries have histories of instability and upheaval that could
cause their governments to act in a detrimental or hostile manner toward private
enterprise or foreign investment. Investments in countries or regions that have
recently begun moving away from central planning and state-owned industries
toward free markets should be regarded as speculative.
While some countries have made progress in economic growth, liberalization, fiscal
discipline, and political and social stability, there is no assurance these trends will
continue. Significant risks, such as war and terrorism, currently affect some emerging
market countries. Fund performance will likely be hurt by exposure to nations in the
midst of hyperinflation, currency devaluation, trade disagreements, sudden political
upheaval, or interventionist government policies. The volatility of emerging markets
may be heightened by the actions (such as significant buying or selling) of a few
major investors. For example, substantial increases or decreases in cash flows of
T. ROWE PRICE 88
mutual funds investing in these markets could significantly affect local securities
prices and, therefore, cause fund share prices to decline.
All of these factors make investing in such countries significantly riskier than in other
countries and any one of these could cause a fund’s share price to decline.
Geographic risk (Africa & Middle East, Emerging Europe, European Stock, Japan, Latin
America, and New Asia Funds; others to a lesser degree) Funds that are less diversified
across geographic regions, countries, industries, or individual companies are
generally riskier than more diversified funds. For example, investors in the Japan
Fund are fully exposed to that country’s economic cycles, stock market valuations,
and currency exchange rates, which could increase the fund’s risks compared with a
more diversified fund. The economies and financial markets of certain regions—such
as Latin America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East and Africa—can be
interdependent and may all decline at the same time. Ongoing concerns over the
rising debt levels of certain European countries could further stress the European
banking system and potentially lead to a default or breakup of the euro, which would
pose special challenges for the financial markets and particularly for those funds with
euro-denominated holdings. Such an event could lead to exchange controls or
market closures, and negatively impact a fund’s ability to settle trades, convert euros
into U.S. dollars, or assign values to its European securities
Small- and medium-sized company risk (International Discovery Fund; others to a lesser
degree) To the extent each fund invests in small- and mid-capitalization stocks, it is
likely to be more volatile than a fund that invests only in large companies. Small and
medium-sized companies are generally riskier because they may have limited product
lines, capital, and managerial resources. Their securities may trade less frequently and
with greater price swings.
Nondiversified status (Africa & Middle East, Emerging Europe, Latin America, and New
Asia Funds) There is additional risk with each fund that is nondiversified and thus
can invest more of its assets in a smaller number of issuers. For example, poor
performance by a single large holding of a fund would adversely affect fund
performance more than if the fund were invested in a larger number of companies.
Some of the principal tools we use to try to reduce overall risk include intensive
research when evaluating a company’s prospects and limiting exposure to any one
industry or company.
While most assets will be invested in common stocks, other strategies may be
employed that are not considered part of a fund’s principal investment strategies. For
instance, a fund may invest, to a limited extent, in derivatives such as futures
contracts and forward foreign currency exchange contracts. Any investments in
futures would typically serve as an efficient means of gaining exposure to certain
markets or as a cash management tool to maintain liquidity while being invested in
the market. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts would primarily be used to
settle trades in a foreign currency or to help protect a fund’s holdings from
MORE ABOUT THE FUNDS 89
unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, although other currency
hedging techniques may be used from time to time. To the extent the fund uses
futures and foreign currency exchange contracts, it is exposed to potential volatility
and losses greater than direct investments in the contract’s underlying assets, and the
risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted.
Recent legislation calls for a new regulatory framework for the derivatives markets.
The full extent and impact of new regulations are not certain at this time. New
regulations have made the use of derivatives by funds more costly, may limit the
availability of certain types of derivatives, and may otherwise adversely affect the
value or performance of derivatives used by funds.
The Statement of Additional Information contains more detailed information about
each fund and its investments, operations, and expenses.
INVESTMENT POLICIES AND PRACTICES
This section takes a detailed look at some of the types of fund securities and the
various kinds of investment practices that may be used in day-to-day portfolio
management. Fund investments are subject to further restrictions and risks described
in the Statement of Additional Information.
Shareholder approval is required to substantively change fund objectives.
Shareholder approval is also required to change certain investment restrictions noted
in the following section as “fundamental policies.” Portfolio managers also follow
certain “operating policies” that can be changed without shareholder approval.
Shareholders will receive at least 60 days’ prior notice of a change in a fund’s policy
requiring it to normally invest at least 80% of its assets in stocks or a particular
geographic area, as the case may be.
Fund holdings of certain kinds of investments cannot exceed maximum percentages
of total assets, which are set forth in this prospectus. For instance, fund investments
in certain derivatives are limited to 10% of total assets. While these restrictions
provide a useful level of detail about fund investments, investors should not view
them as an accurate gauge of the potential risk of such investments. For example, in a
given period, a 5% investment in derivatives could have significantly more of an
impact on a fund’s share price than its weighting in the portfolio. The net effect of a
particular investment depends on its volatility and the size of its overall return in
relation to the performance of all other fund investments.
Certain investment restrictions, such as a required minimum or maximum
investment in a particular type of security, are measured at the time a fund purchases
a security. The status, market value, maturity, credit quality, or other characteristics
of a fund’s securities may change after they are purchased, and this may cause the
T. ROWE PRICE 90
amount of a fund’s assets invested in such securities to exceed the stated maximum
restriction or fall below the stated minimum restriction. If any of these changes occur,
it would not be considered a violation of the investment restriction and will not
require the sale of an investment if it was proper at the time it was made (this
exception does not apply to a fund’s borrowing policy). However, purchases by a
fund during the time it is above or below the stated percentage restriction would be
made in compliance with applicable restrictions.
For purposes of determining whether a particular country is considered a developed
market or an emerging market, the funds use the designation set forth by MSCI
Barra, a third-party provider of benchmark indexes and data services for institutions
worldwide. For purposes of determining whether a fund invests at least 80% of its
net assets in a particular country or geographic region, the fund uses a country
assigned to a security by MSCI Barra or another unaffiliated third-party data
provider. The fund generally follows this same process with respect to the remaining
20% of assets but may occasionally make an exception after assessing various factors
relating to a company.
Changes in fund holdings, fund performance, and the contribution of various
investments to fund performance are discussed in the shareholder reports.
Portfolio managers have considerable discretion in choosing investment strategies and
selecting securities they believe will help achieve fund objectives.
Types of Portfolio Securities
In seeking to meet their investment objectives, fund investments may be made in any
type of security or instrument (including certain potentially high-risk derivatives
described in this section) whose investment characteristics are consistent with their
investment programs. The following pages describe various types of fund holdings
and investment management practices.
Diversification With the exception of the Africa & Middle East, Emerging Europe,
Latin America, and New Asia Funds, as a fundamental policy, a fund will not
purchase a security if, as a result, with respect to 75% of its total assets, more than
5% of the fund’s total assets would be invested in securities of a single issuer or more
than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer would be held by the
fund.
Nondiversified Status–Africa & Middle East, Emerging Europe, Latin America, and
New Asia Funds
The fund is a nondiversified mutual fund. This means that the fund may invest a
greater portion of its assets in, and own a greater amount of the voting securities of, a
single issuer than a diversified fund, which may subject the fund to greater risk with
respect to its portfolio securities and greater volatility with respect to its share price.
The fund, however, intends to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under the
Internal Revenue Code. As a result, each fund must invest so that, at the end of each
MORE ABOUT THE FUNDS 91
fiscal quarter, with respect to 50% of its total assets, no more than 5% of its total
assets is invested in the securities of a single issuer and not more than 10% of the
voting securities of any issuer are held by the fund. With respect to the remaining
50% of fund assets, no more than 25% may be invested in a single issuer.
All funds
Fund investments are primarily in common stocks and, to a lesser degree, other types
of securities as described below.
Common and Preferred Stocks
Stocks represent shares of ownership in a company. Generally, preferred stock has a
specified dividend and ranks after bonds and before common stock in its claim on
income for dividend payments and on assets should the company be liquidated. After
other claims are satisfied, common stockholders participate in company profits on a
pro-rata basis; profits may be paid out in dividends or reinvested in the company to
help it grow. Increases and decreases in earnings are usually reflected in a company’s
stock price, so common stocks generally have the greatest appreciation and
depreciation potential of all corporate securities. Unlike common stock, preferred
stock does not ordinarily carry voting rights. While most preferred stocks pay a
dividend, a fund may decide to purchase preferred stock where the issuer has
omitted, or is in danger of omitting, payment of its dividend. The funds may
purchase American Depositary Receipts and Global Depositary Receipts, which are
certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer. American Depositary
Receipts and Global Depositary Receipts trade on established markets and are
alternatives to directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their local
markets and currencies. Such investments are subject to many of the same risks
associated with investing directly in foreign securities.
Convertible Securities and Warrants
Investments may be made in debt or preferred equity securities that are convertible
into, or exchangeable for, equity securities at specified times in the future and
according to a certain exchange ratio. Convertible bonds are typically callable by the
issuer, which could in effect force conversion before the holder would otherwise
choose. Traditionally, convertible securities have paid dividends or interest at rates
higher than common stocks but lower than nonconvertible securities. They generally
participate in the appreciation or depreciation of the underlying stock into which
they are convertible, but to a lesser degree than common stock. Some convertible
securities combine higher or lower current income with options and other features.
Warrants are options to buy, directly from the issuer, a stated number of shares of
common stock at a specified price anytime during the life of the warrants (generally,
two or more years). Warrants can be highly volatile, have no voting rights, and pay
no dividends.
T. ROWE PRICE 92
Participation Notes (P-notes)
A fund may gain exposure to securities traded in foreign markets through
investments in P-notes. P-notes are generally issued by banks or broker-dealers and
are designed to offer a return linked to an underlying common stock or other
security. An investment in a P-note involves additional risks beyond the risks
normally associated with a direct investment in the underlying security. While the
holder of a P-note is entitled to receive from the broker-dealer or bank any dividends
paid by the underlying security, the holder is not entitled to the same rights (e.g.,
voting rights) as a direct owner of the underlying security. P-notes are considered
general unsecured contractual obligations of the banks or broker-dealers that issue
them as the counterparty. As such, the fund must rely on the creditworthiness of the
counterparty for its investment returns on the P-notes, and could lose the entire value
of its investment in the event of default by a counterparty. Additionally, there is no
assurance that there will be a secondary trading market for a P-note or that the
trading price of a P-note will equal the value of the underlying security.
Operating policy For the Africa & Middle East Fund, there is no limit on fund
investments in P-notes. For all other funds, investments in P-notes are limited to 20%
of total assets.
Fixed Income Securities
From time to time, a fund may invest in corporate and government fixed income
securities as well as below investment-grade bonds, commonly referred to as “junk”
bonds. These securities would be purchased in companies that meet fund investment
criteria. The price of a fixed income security fluctuates with changes in interest rates,
generally rising when interest rates fall and falling when interest rates rise. Below
investment-grade bonds, or “junk” bonds, can be more volatile and have greater risk
of default than investment-grade bonds.
Operating policy The Africa & Middle East, Emerging Europe, Emerging Markets
Stock, Latin America, and New Asia Funds may each invest 10% of total assets in
below investment-grade bonds. Fund investments in convertible securities are not
subject to these limits.
Futures and Options
Futures, a type of potentially high-risk derivative, are often used to manage or hedge
risk because they enable the investor to buy or sell an asset in the future at an agreed-
upon price. Options, another type of potentially high-risk derivative, give the
investor the right (when the investor purchases the option), or the obligation (when
the investor “writes” or sells the option), to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined
price in the future. Futures and options contracts may be bought or sold for any
number of reasons, including to manage exposure to changes in securities prices and
foreign currencies; as an efficient means of increasing or decreasing a fund’s exposure
to certain markets; in an effort to enhance income; to protect the value of portfolio
securities; and to serve as a cash management tool. Call or put options may be
MORE ABOUT THE FUNDS 93
purchased or sold on securities, futures, and financial indexes. A fund may choose to
continue a futures contract by “rolling over” an expiring futures contract into an
identical contract with a later maturity date. This could increase the fund’s
transaction costs and portfolio turnover rate.
Futures contracts and options may not always be successful hedges; their prices can
be highly volatile; using them could lower a fund’s total return; and the potential loss
from the use of futures can exceed a fund’s initial investment in such contracts.
Operating policies Initial margin deposits on futures and premiums on options used
for non-hedging purposes will not exceed 5% of a fund’s net asset value. The total
market value of securities covering call or put options may not exceed 25% of total
assets. No more than 5% of total assets will be committed to premiums when
purchasing call or put options.
Hybrid Instruments
These instruments (a type of potentially high-risk derivative) can combine the
characteristics of securities, futures, and options. For example, the principal amount,
redemption, or conversion terms of a security could be related to the market price of
some commodity, currency, security, or securities index. Such instruments may or
may not bear interest or pay dividends. Under certain conditions, the redemption
value of a hybrid could be zero.
Hybrids can have volatile prices and limited liquidity, and their use may not be
successful.
Operating policy Fund investments in hybrid instruments are limited to 10% of total
assets.
Currency Derivatives
The funds will normally conduct their foreign currency exchange transactions, if any,
either on a spot (i.e., cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency
exchange market, or through entering into forward contracts to purchase or sell
foreign currencies. The funds will generally not enter into a forward contract with a
term greater than one year.
The funds will generally enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts only
under two circumstances. First, a fund may “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of the
security when it enters into a contract for the purchase or sale of a security
denominated in a foreign currency. Second, when the fund believes that the currency
of a particular foreign country may move substantially against another currency, it
may enter into a forward contract to sell or buy the former foreign currency (or
another currency that acts as a proxy for that currency). The contract may
approximate the value of some or all of the fund’s portfolio securities denominated in
such foreign currency. Under unusual circumstances, a fund may commit a
substantial portion or the entire value of its portfolio to the consummation of these
contracts. T. Rowe Price will consider the effect such a commitment to forward
T. ROWE PRICE 94
contracts would have on each fund’s investment program and the flexibility of each
fund to purchase additional securities. Although forward contracts will be used
primarily to protect the fund from adverse currency movements, they involve the risk
that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted, and a fund’s
total return could be adversely affected as a result.
Hedging may result in the application of the mark-to-market and straddle provisions
of the Internal Revenue Code. These provisions could result in an increase (or
decrease) in the amount of taxable dividends paid by the funds and could affect
whether dividends paid are classified as capital gains or ordinary income.
Investments in Other Investment Companies
A fund may invest in other investment companies, including open-end funds, closed-
end funds, and exchange-traded funds.
A fund may purchase the securities of another investment company to temporarily
gain exposure to a portion of the market while awaiting purchase of securities or as
an efficient means of gaining exposure to a particular asset class. The fund might also
purchase shares of another investment company to gain exposure to the securities in
the investment company’s portfolio at times when the fund may not be able to buy
those securities directly. Any investment in another investment company would be
consistent with the fund’s objective and investment program.
The risks of owning another investment company are generally similar to the risks of
investing directly in the securities in which that investment company invests.
However, an investment company may not achieve its investment objective or
execute its investment strategy effectively, which may adversely affect the fund’s
performance. In addition, because closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds trade
on a secondary market, their shares may trade at a premium or discount to the actual
net asset value of their portfolio securities and their shares may have greater volatility
because of the potential lack of liquidity.
As a shareholder of an investment company not sponsored by T. Rowe Price, the
fund must pay its pro-rata share of that investment company’s fees and expenses. The
fund’s investments in non-T. Rowe Price investment companies are subject to the
limits that apply to investments in other funds under the Investment Company Act of
1940 or under any applicable exemptive order.
A fund may also invest in certain other T. Rowe Price funds as a means of gaining
efficient and cost-effective exposure to certain asset classes, provided the investment
is consistent with the fund’s investment program and policies. Such an investment
could allow the fund to obtain the benefits of a more diversified portfolio than might
otherwise be available through direct investments in the asset class, and will subject
the fund to the risks associated with the particular asset class. Examples of asset
classes in which other T. Rowe Price mutual funds concentrate their investments
include high yield bonds, floating rate loans, international bonds, emerging market
MORE ABOUT THE FUNDS 95
bonds, and emerging market stocks. If the fund invests in another T. Rowe Price
fund, the management fee paid by the fund will be reduced to ensure that the fund
does not incur duplicate management fees as a result of its investment.
Illiquid Securities
Some fund holdings may be considered illiquid because they are subject to legal or
contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold in the ordinary
course of business within seven days at approximately the prices at which they are
valued. The determination of liquidity involves a variety of factors. Illiquid securities
may include private placements that are sold directly to a small number of investors,
usually institutions. Unlike public offerings, such securities are not registered with
the SEC. Although certain of these securities may be readily sold, for example under
Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, others may have resale restrictions and can
be illiquid. The sale of illiquid securities may involve substantial delays and
additional costs, and a fund may only be able to sell such securities at prices
substantially less than what it believes they are worth.
Operating policy Fund investments in illiquid securities are limited to 15% of net
assets.
Types of Investment Management Practices
Reserve Position
A certain portion of fund assets will be held in reserves. Fund reserve positions can
consist of: 1) shares of a T. Rowe Price internal money fund or short-term bond fund;
2) short-term, high-quality U.S. and foreign dollar-denominated money market
securities, including repurchase agreements; and 3) U.S. dollar or non-U.S. dollar
currencies. For temporary, defensive purposes, there is no limit on a fund’s holdings
in reserves. If a fund has significant holdings in reserves, it could compromise the
fund’s ability to achieve its objectives. The reserve position provides flexibility in
meeting redemptions, paying expenses and managing cash flows into a fund, and can
serve as a short-term defense during periods of unusual market volatility. Non-U.S.
dollar reserves are subject to currency risk.
Borrowing Money and Transferring Assets
A fund may borrow from banks, other persons, and other T. Rowe Price funds for
temporary emergency purposes to facilitate redemption requests, or for other
purposes consistent with fund policies as set forth in this prospectus. Such
borrowings may be collateralized with fund assets, subject to restrictions.
Fundamental policy Borrowings may not exceed 331/3% of total assets.
Operating policy A fund will not transfer portfolio securities as collateral except as
necessary in connection with permissible borrowings or investments, and then such
transfers may not exceed 331/3% of total assets. A fund will not purchase additional
securities when borrowings exceed 5% of total assets.
T. ROWE PRICE 96
Lending of Portfolio Securities
A fund may lend its securities to broker-dealers, other institutions, or other persons
to earn additional income. Risks include the potential insolvency of the broker-dealer
or other borrower that could result in delays in recovering securities and capital
losses. Additionally, losses could result from the reinvestment of collateral received
on loaned securities in investments that default or do not perform as well as
expected.
Fundamental policy The value of loaned securities may not exceed 331/3% of total
assets.
Portfolio Turnover
Turnover is an indication of frequency of trading. A fund will not generally trade in
securities for short-term profits, but when circumstances warrant, securities may be
purchased and sold without regard to the length of time held. Each time a fund
purchases or sells a security, it incurs a cost. This cost is reflected in its net asset
value but not in its operating expenses. The higher the turnover rate, the higher the
transaction costs and the greater the impact on a fund’s total return. Higher turnover
can also increase the possibility of taxable capital gain distributions. The funds’
portfolio turnover rates are shown in the Financial Highlights table.
DISCLOSURE OF FUND PORTFOLIO INFORMATION
Each T. Rowe Price fund’s portfolio holdings are disclosed on a regular basis in its
semiannual and annual shareholder reports, and on Form N-Q, which is filed with
the SEC within 60 days of the fund’s first and third fiscal quarter-end. The money
funds also file detailed month-end portfolio holdings information with the SEC each
month. Such information will be made available to the public 60 days after the end of
the month to which the information pertains. In addition, the funds disclose their
calendar quarter-end portfolio holdings on troweprice.com 15 calendar days after
each quarter. Under certain conditions, up to 5% of a fund’s holdings may be
included in this portfolio list without being individually identified. Generally,
securities would not be individually identified if they are being actively bought or
sold and it is determined that the quarter-end disclosure of the holding could be
harmful to the fund. A security will not be excluded for these purposes from a fund’s
quarter-end holdings disclosure for more than one year. Money funds also disclose
their month-end portfolio holdings on troweprice.com five business days after each
month. The quarter-end portfolio holdings will remain on the website for one year
and the month-end money fund portfolio holdings will remain on the website for six
months. Each fund also discloses its 10 largest holdings on troweprice.com on the
seventh business day after each month-end. These holdings are listed in alphabetical
order along with the aggregate percentage of the fund’s total assets that these 10
holdings represent. Each monthly top 10 list will remain on the website for six

months. A description of T. Rowe Price’s policies and procedures with respect to the
disclosure of portfolio information is in the Statement of Additional Information.
F INANCIAL HIGHLIGH TS
The Financial Highlights table, which provides information about each fund’s
financial history, is based on a single share outstanding throughout the periods
shown. Each fund’s section of the table is part of the fund’s financial statements,
which are included in its annual report and are incorporated by reference into the
Statement of Additional Information (available upon request). The total returns in the
table represent the rate that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment
in the fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions and no
payment of any applicable account or redemption fees). The financial statements in
the annual reports were audited by the funds’ independent registered public
accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

ACCOUNT REQUIREMENTS AND TRANSACTION INFORMATION
If you are purchasing fund shares through a third-party
intermediary, contact the intermediary for information
regarding its policies on purchasing, exchanging, and
redeeming fund shares, as well as initial and subsequent
investment minimums.
Tax Identification
Number
We must have your correct Social Security number or
employer identification number on a signed New
Account form or W-9 Form. Otherwise, federal law
requires the funds to withhold a percentage of your
dividends, capital gain distributions, and redemptions
and may subject you to an Internal Revenue Service
fine. If this information is not received within 60 days
after your account is established, your account may be
redeemed at the fund’s then-current net asset value.
Transaction Confirmations We send immediate confirmations for most of your
fund transactions. However, certain transactions, such
as systematic purchases, dividend reinvestments,
checkwriting redemptions for money funds, and
transactions in money funds used as a T. Rowe Price
Brokerage sweep account, do not receive an immediate
transaction confirmation but are reported on your
account statement. Please review transaction
confirmations and account statements as soon as you
receive them and promptly report any discrepancies to
Shareholder Services by calling 1-800-225-5132.
Employer-Sponsored
Retirement Plans and
Institutional Accounts
T. Rowe Price
Trust Company

Transaction procedures in the following sections may
not apply to employer-sponsored retirement plans and
institutional accounts. For procedures regarding
employer-sponsored retirement plans, please call
T. Rowe Price Trust Company or consult your plan
administrator. For institutional account procedures,
please call your designated account manager or service
representative.
T. ROWE PRICE 110
We do not accept third-party checks for initial
purchases; however, we do accept third-party checks
for subsequent purchases. In addition, T. Rowe Price
does not accept purchases by cash, traveler’s checks, or
credit card checks.
OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT
$2,500 minimum initial investment; $1,000 for
retirement accounts and Uniform Gifts to Minors
Act/Uniform Transfers to Minors Act accounts ($25,000
minimum initial investment for Summit Funds only)
Important Information
About Opening an Account
Pursuant to federal law, all financial institutions must
obtain, verify, and record information that identifies
each person or entity that opens an account. This
information is needed not only for the account owner
and any other person who opens the account, but also
for any person who has authority to act on behalf of
the account.
When you open an account, you will be asked for the
name, residential street address, date of birth, and
Social Security number or employer identification
number for each account owner and person(s)
opening an account on behalf of others, such as
custodians, agents, trustees, or other authorized
signers. Corporate and other institutional accounts
require documents showing the existence of the entity
(such as articles of incorporation or partnership
agreements) to open an account. Certain other
fiduciary accounts (such as trusts or power of attorney
arrangements) require documentation, which may
include an original or certified copy of the trust
agreement or power of attorney to open an account.
For more information, call Investor Services at
1-800-638-5660.
We will use this information to verify the identity of
the person(s)/entity opening the account. We will not
be able to open your account until we receive all of
this information. If we are unable to verify your
identity, we are authorized to take any action
permitted by law. (See Rights Reserved by the Funds.)
INVESTING WITH T. ROWE PRICE 111
The funds are generally available only to investors
residing in the United States. In addition, purchases in
state tax-free funds are limited to investors living in
states where the fund is available for sale. The address
of record on your account must be located in one of
these states, or you will be restricted from purchasing
fund shares. Contact Investor Services for more
information.
Account Registration If you own other T. Rowe Price funds, you should
consider registering any new account identically to
your existing accounts so you can exchange shares
among them easily. (The name(s) of the account
owner(s) and the account type must be identical.)
For joint accounts or other types of accounts owned or
controlled by more than one party, either owner/party
has complete authority to act on behalf of all and give
instructions concerning the account without notice to
the other party. T. Rowe Price may, in its sole
discretion, require written authorization from all
owners/parties to act on the account for certain
transactions (for example, to transfer ownership).

EXCH ANGING AND REDEEMING SHARES
Exchange Service You can move money from one account to an
existing, identically registered account or open a new
identically registered account. An exchange from one
fund to another is considered a sale and purchase for
tax purposes. (Exchanges into a state tax-free fund are
limited to investors living in states where the fund is
available.) For exchange policies, please see
Transaction Procedures and Special Requirements—
Excessive and Short-Term Trading Policy.
Redemptions Redemption proceeds can be mailed to your account
address, sent by Automated Clearing House transfer
to your bank, or wired to your bank (provided your
bank information is already on file). Redemption
proceeds of less than $5,000 sent by wire are subject
to a $5 fee paid to the fund. Please note that large
purchase and redemption requests initiated through
automated services, including the National Securities
Clearing Corporation, may be rejected and, in such
instances, the transaction must be placed by
contacting a service representative.
If you request to redeem a specific dollar amount, and
the market value of your account is less than the
amount of your request, your redemption will not be
processed, and you will need to submit a new
redemption request in proper form. If you change
your address on an account, proceeds will not be
mailed to the new address for 15 calendar days after
the address change, unless we receive a signature
guaranteed letter of instruction.
Some of the T. Rowe Price funds may impose a
redemption fee. Check the fund’s prospectus under
Contingent Redemption Fee in Pricing Shares and
Receiving Sale Proceeds. The fee is paid to the fund.
For redemptions by check or electronic transfer,
please see Information About Your Services.

HIGHLIGHTS
• Asian stock markets rose in the six months ended April 30, 2012, as
Europe’s debt crisis stabilized and risk appetite improved early in
the year.
• The New Asia Fund rose 7.96% and easily outpaced its benchmark
index and Lipper peer group average, lifted by strong stock selection
in South Korea and Taiwan.
• Worries about a hard economic landing in China increased over the
period, but we believe a gradual slowdown is more likely as the
government tries to rebalance the drivers of economic growth.
• We believe near-term performance will be volatile as Europe’s debt
crisis and China’s slowdown temper risk appetite. We remain focused
on finding companies with strong and sustainable growth characteris-
tics that can withstand a volatile environment and a possibly weaker
global growth outlook.

Fellow Shareholders
Stocks in developing Asia rose over the six months ended April 30, 2012, a period
marked by heightened volatility in response to global macroeconomic events. Stocks
began the period at depressed levels, as Europe’s inability to solve its worsening debt
crisis at the end of 2011 led investors to flee from riskier assets and pile into U.S.
Treasuries and other safe havens. Early this year, the extreme pessimism that marked
the end of 2011 lifted as Europe’s crisis appeared to stabilize and U.S. economic data
improved. However, the rally was short-lived as economic data and turmoil in Europe
worsened, leading to another market downturn.
The New Asia Fund returned 7.96% for the six-month period ended
April 30, 2012, widely exceeding the MSCI All Country Asia ex Japan
Index, its primary benchmark, and the Lipper Pacific Ex Japan Funds
Average. Stock selection across the region, led by South Korea, Taiwan,
and Thailand, accounted
for outperformance.
From a sector viewpoint,
financials, consumer
staples, and materials
were the top contributors
to relative results. In terms
of absolute performance,
information technology
was the biggest contribu-
tor, followed by financials
and consumer staples. China remains the largest country position,
although we have reduced our exposure in light of growing evidence
of a pronounced slowdown. Our sector allocations continue to reflect
our preference for areas driven by domestic consumption.

The fund’s long-term performance continues to shine within its peer
group. Lipper ranked the fund first in its peer group for the 10-year
period ended April 30, 2012. (Based on cumulative total return, Lipper
ranked the New Asia Fund 9 of 91, 4 of 50, 2 of 35, and 1 of 28 funds
in the Pacific Ex-Japan funds universe for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year
periods ended April 30, 2012, respectively. Past performance cannot
guarantee future results.)
MaRkET ENvIRONMENT
At the start of our reporting period last November, global stock
markets were roiled by Europe’s debt crisis. Greece was nearly bank-
rupt, a credit crunch crippled the region’s banks, and most of Europe
teetered on the brink of recession. Against this backdrop of fear and
uncertainty, Asian and other emerging markets stocks fared poorly
as investors sold off riskier assets. The crisis reached a turning point
on December 21, when the European Central Bank pumped roughly
$640 billion of cheap short-term loans into the region’s banking
system. This long-term refinancing operation, or LTRO—which was
followed by a second massive infusion in February—restored stability
to Europe’s credit markets. Combined with the U.S. Federal Reserve’s
commitment to keep interest rates at very low levels until 2014, the
move also encouraged risk taking by reassuring investors that accom-
modative policies in the developed world would continue, spurring
them to seek higher-yielding assets. Meanwhile, U.S. economic
data indicated that
the country’s recovery
was picking up. As a
result of these positive
developments, global risk
sentiment improved, and
developing Asian stocks
rallied in early 2012. But
by the end of our reporting
period in April, rising
European bond yields
and renewed concerns
about China’s slowdown
prompted investors to
retreat from emerging
markets, trimming some
of the first quarter’s gains.

Market Performance
Proof #4
3
Country performance varied across the region. Thailand was the best
performer, rallying 24.43% as growth picked up after devastating
floods in 2011. China’s market advanced as investors appeared to
bet that growing signs of a slowdown would force the government to
relax monetary policy and take other measures to revive growth. But
India’s market slumped as it grappled with slowing growth, persistent
inflation, and a weak currency. Inflation—a nagging problem in Asia
over the past two years—subsided over the past six months in most
countries as Europe’s crisis and China’s slowdown eclipsed worries
about rising prices. Most Asian countries either loosened monetary
policy or held rates steady in an effort to safeguard domestic growth
as Europe’s crisis worsened.
PORTfOLIO REvIEW
South korea, Taiwan, and Southeast asia
South Korea was the top contributor to our performance versus
the benchmark due to stock selection. Our positions in Samsung
Electronics and Hyundai, the fund’s top two holdings, ranked
among the biggest absolute contributors. Shares of Samsung, Asia’s
largest consumer electronics maker, rose to a record in April after
the company reported its highest profit in more than two years due
to strength in its mobile business. We have a high level of conviction
in Samsung, which recently overtook Nokia as the world’s biggest
handset maker, and think it has solid growth prospects as global
smartphone and tablet sales rise and mobile computing becomes more
widespread. Hyundai, South Korea’s largest carmaker, also performed
well as it reported strong earnings, lifted by resilient U.S. demand and
new car models. (Please refer to the portfolio of investments for a com-
plete list of holdings and the amount each represents in the portfolio.)
Taiwan lifted relative returns due to positive stock selection, led by
Quanta Computer, whose shares hit a multiyear high in March after
reporting surprisingly strong earnings. Quanta makes laptops for
various computer companies, including Apple, and has benefited as
sales of Apple’s laptops and other gadgets have soared. We believe
Quanta has excellent growth potential as it expands in servers and
storage, and it is one of our top holdings. Despite our successful
stock picks in Taiwan and South Korea, we remain underweight in
both countries because their trade-dependent economies are very
sensitive to global demand and offer relatively few compelling
growth opportunities.
Proof #4
4
Our positioning in Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines also
benefited relative performance. Shares of CP ALL, Thailand’s biggest
convenience store operator, rose to a record high in the spring, making
it one of the fund’s top absolute contributors. Resilient domestic
demand and a growing middle class have sustained strong growth
across Southeast Asia but also raised inflation risks, and central banks
in all three countries have recently stopped interest rate cuts. We are
overweight to most of Southeast Asia except for Malaysia, where we
are underweight but maintain exposure through a sizable position in
financial services company CIMB Group Holdings Berhad. Southeast
Asian markets have been stellar performers in recent years as greater
political stability and economic reforms have reduced the cost of
doing business, but these developments have also pushed stock prices
higher. We are optimistic about the outlook for Southeast Asia but are
mindful that companies there will need to deliver on earnings growth
to justify their premium valuations.
India
India, the region’s worst performer over the period, hurt relative
performance due to our small overweight position. We have a cautious
view of India, which is struggling with slowing growth, high inflation,
and widening fiscal and trade deficits. India’s currency, the rupee,
weakened significantly over the period, worsening inflationary pres-
sures. After aggressively raising interest rates over the past two years
to tamp down inflation, India cut its benchmark rate in April to revive
growth, but rising prices have limited its scope for more rate cuts.
Perhaps most discouraging is India’s political gridlock, as its Congress
party-led government has been unable to reduce the fiscal deficit and
push through economic reforms needed to lure foreign investment.
Despite our caution about India’s near-term outlook, the country is
home to many world-class businesses with solid growth prospects,
and our country exposure rose slightly due to a few sizable purchases.
We initiated a position in Wipro, one of India’s top software services
companies. Global demand for software design and maintenance
is strong, most of Wipro’s clients are multi national companies that
are sheltered from India’s slowdown, and its stock price offered
a good buying opportunity. We also initiated positions in Bharti
Airtel, the country’s biggest mobile phone company, and Cipla, a
Proof #4

generic drug maker with good expo sure to developed and emerging
markets like Latin America and Africa, where pharmaceutical demand
is quickly growing.
China
China was the largest country detractor from relative performance due
to adverse stock selection. Travel agency Ctrip.com was the fund’s
biggest detractor as its shares fell sharply due to weaker-than-expected
results and fears about
growing competition.
Our research indicates
that Ctrip’s competitive
edge in business travel
and call centers is eroding
as leisure travel takes off
and more people in China
book trips online, but we
believe the stock trades
at an excessive discount
and maintained our
position. Internet portal
Sina was another poor
performer amid worries
about government censorship and slowing growth in the number of
visitors to its site. We maintained a modest position in Sina at the end
of the period.
Recent indicators show that China’s economy is cooling after decades
of rapid growth. Contrary to some of the prevailing headlines, we
believe the risk of a hard economic landing is relatively low as Beijing
has several policy options it can use to sustain growth at its desired
level. Much of China’s rise has been fueled by fixed asset investment
such as spending on infrastructure and real estate, but its long-term
goal is more sustainable growth driven by domestic consumption.
This transition will take years and inevitably produce some volatile
economic data in the coming quarters. Rather than being alarmed by
China’s slowdown, we see it as evidence of a larger restructuring story
that will result in lower but higher-quality growth over the long run.

Our stock selection
aims to capitalize on the
government’s goal of
rebalancing the pillars of
economic growth. We
increased our position
in Tencent Holdings,
China’s biggest Internet
company. Tencent con-
tinues to draw subscribers
due to its dominance in
online gaming, and the
outlook for its advertising
business is promising. We
also increased our position
in Baidu, China’s leading
Internet search company
and one of the fund’s
largest holdings. Most of
Baidu’s revenue comes
from domestic advertising,
which should stay resilient
even if the economy slows. China remains the fund’s largest country
allocation, but our exposure declined as we sold several names in light
of the weaker growth outlook. We eliminated utility and toll road oper-
ator Beijing Enterprises, high-end car dealer China
ZhengTong Auto Services, and Ping An Insurance,
the country’s biggest insurer. Generally, our intention
is to avoid companies that we believe are unprepared
for a lower-growth environment, especially those in
industries with excess capacity or that may be hurt by
changes in government policy.
Our sector exposures stayed largely unchanged.
Information technology (IT), financials, and consumer
discretionary accounted for the top three sector
allocations at the end of the period. We continue to
favor areas driven by domestic consumption, such
as consumer staples and discretionary stocks, which
should see solid long-term growth as Asia’s middle class

grows in size and wealth. In response to China’s slowdown, we have
become more defensive in our positioning by raising our allocation to
consumer staples and reducing exposure to discretionary stocks. We
trimmed our position in Italian luxury goods maker Prada, one of the
top contributors over the period, over concern that high-end spending
may suffer as China’s economy slows.
OuTLOOk
Investor sentiment remains fragile and global stock markets face
numerous risks. Europe’s debt crisis, now entering its third year,
shows no signs of nearing a resolution. Popular resistance to austerity
has surged, as shown by recent elections in France and Greece, and
speculation that Greece will leave the eurozone is rising. We expect
volatility to persist over the near term as fallout from Europe’s debt
crisis continues to dictate investors’ risk appetite.
China’s slowdown is another worry. April trade data released after the
close of our reporting period were surprisingly weak, and on May 12
Beijing announced it would lower banks’ reserve requirements, its
third cut since November. Although China wants to manage a gradual
slowdown, we believe that April’s worse-than-expected data caught
policymakers off guard. Looking ahead, we would not be surprised
to see the government further relax monetary policy and take other
steps to stimulate the economy and avert a hard landing. As we said
earlier, we do not believe a severe downturn is on the
horizon. However, we are taking steps to make sure
the fund is defensively positioned as we anticipate
China’s slowdown may prove rocky in the near term.
We are carefully reviewing our Chinese holdings and
paring our exposure to sectors that we believe are least
prepared to handle a slowdown.
Despite our cautious outlook for near-term perfor-
mance, we remain optimistic about Asia’s long-term
prospects. Growing urbanization, increasing consump-
tion, and upward mobility are inexorable trends that
will drive strong and sustainable growth in the region
over the long run. Disposable incomes are rising among
lower- to middle-class households, lending support to

Risks of International Investing
Funds that invest overseas generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S.
assets. Funds investing in a single country or in a limited geographic region tend to be
riskier than more diversified funds. Risks can result from varying stages of economic and
political development; differing regulatory environments, trading days, and accounting
standards; and higher transaction costs of non-U.S. markets. Non-U.S. investments are
also subject to currency risk, or a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the
U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency.

This chart shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the fund over the past
10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds lacking 10-year records). The result is
compared with benchmarks, which may include a broad-based market index and a peer
group average or index. Market indexes do not include expenses, which are deducted from
fund returns as well as mutual fund averages and indexes.

reflect taxes that the shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of
fund shares. Past performance cannot guarantee future results.

Fund Expense Example
As a mutual fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such
as redemption fees or sales loads, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distri-
bution and service (12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following example is intended
to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to com-
pare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is
based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the most recent six-month
period and held for the entire period.
actual Expenses
The first line of the following table (“Actual”) provides information about actual account
values and expenses based on the fund’s actual returns. you may use the information on
this line, together with your account balance, to estimate the expenses that you paid over
the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account
value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under
the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your
account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information on the second line of the table (“Hypothetical”) is based on hypothetical
account values and expenses derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed
5% per year rate of return before expenses (not the fund’s actual return). you may compare
the ongoing costs of investing in the fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypotheti-
cal example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the
other funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the
actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
Note: T. Rowe Price charges an annual account service fee of $20, generally for accounts
with less than $10,000. The fee is waived for any investor whose T. Rowe Price mutual fund
accounts total $50,000 or more; accounts electing to receive electronic delivery of account
statements, transaction confirmations, prospectuses, and shareholder reports; or accounts
of an investor who is a T. Rowe Price Preferred Services, Personal Services, or Enhanced
Personal Services client (enrollment in these programs generally requires T. Rowe Price
assets of at least $100,000). This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are
subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of
investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.
you should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing
costs and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees or sales loads.
Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not
help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. To the extent a fund
charges transaction costs, however, the total cost of owning that fund is higher.

Current performance may be higher or lower than the quoted past performance, which
cannot guarantee future results. Share price, principal value, and return will vary, and
you may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares. For the most recent month-end
perform ance, please visit our website (troweprice.com) or contact a T. Rowe Price
representative at 1-800-225-5132. The performance information shown does not reflect
the deduction of a 2% redemption fee on shares held for 90 days or less. If it did, the
performance would be lower.
This table provides returns through the most recent calendar quarter-end rather than
through the end of the fund’s fiscal period. It shows how the fund would have performed
each year if its actual (or cumulative) returns for the periods shown had been earned at a
constant rate. Average annual total return figures include changes in principal value,
reinvested dividends, and capital gain distributions. Returns do not reflect taxes that the
shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. When
assessing performance, investors should consider both short- and long-term returns.

Notes to Financial Statements
T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc. (the corporation), is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). The New Asia Fund (the fund)
is a nondiversified, open-end management investment company established
by the corporation. The fund commenced operations on September 28, 1990.
The fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments primarily in
the common stocks of companies located (or with primary operations) in Asia
(excluding Japan).
NOTE 1 - SIGNIfICaNT aCCOuNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation The accompanying financial statements were prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (GAAP), which require the use of estimates made by management.
Management believes that estimates and valuations are appropriate; however,
actual results may differ from those estimates, and the valuations reflected in
the accompanying financial statements may differ from the value ultimately
realized upon sale or maturity.
Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Distributions Income and
expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on debt
securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes. Dividends received
from mutual fund investments are reflected as dividend income; capital gain
distributions are reflected as realized gain/loss. Dividend income and capital
gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income tax-related
interest and penalties, if incurred, would be recorded as income tax expense.
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and
losses are reported on the identified cost basis. Distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions are declared and paid
annually. Capital gain distributions, if any, are generally declared and paid by
the fund annually.
Currency Translation Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated
in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the
prevailing exchange rate, using the mean of the bid and asked prices of such
currencies against U.S. dollars as quoted by a major bank. Purchases and
sales of securities, income, and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the
prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in
foreign currency exchange rates on realized and unrealized security gains and
losses is reflected as a component of security gains and losses.
Proof #4

T. Rowe Price New Asia Fund
Credits The fund earns credits on temporarily uninvested cash balances held at
the custodian, which reduce the fund’s custody charges. Custody expense in the
accompanying financial statements is presented before reduction for credits.
Redemption fees A 2% fee is assessed on redemptions of fund shares held
for 90 days or less to deter short-term trading and to protect the interests of
long-term shareholders. Redemption fees are withheld from proceeds that
shareholders receive from the sale or exchange of fund shares. The fees are
paid to the fund and are recorded as an increase to paid-in capital. The fees
may cause the redemption price per share to differ from the net asset value
per share.
New accounting Pronouncements In May 2011, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued amended guidance to align fair value measure-
ment and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP with International Financial
Reporting Standards. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim
periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Adoption will have no
effect on net assets or results of operations.
In December 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance to enhance disclosure
for offsetting assets and liabilities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013; adoption will have no
effect on the fund’s net assets or results of operations.
NOTE 2 - vaLuaTION
The fund’s financial instruments are reported at fair value as defined by GAAP.
The fund determines the values of its assets and liabilities and computes its
net asset value per share at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE),
normally 4 p.m. ET, each day that the NYSE is open for business.
valuation Methods Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities
exchange or in the over-the-counter (OTC) market are valued at the last quoted
sale price or, for certain markets, the official closing price at the time the
valuations are made, except for OTC Bulletin Board securities, which are valued
at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices. A security that is listed or traded
on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange deter-
mined to be the primary market for such security. Listed securities not traded
on a particular day are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices for
domestic securities and the last quoted sale price for international securities.
Debt securities with remaining maturities of less than one year at the time of
acquisition generally use amortized cost in local currency to approximate fair
Proof #4
29
T. Rowe Price New Asia Fund
value. However, if amortized cost is deemed not to reflect fair value or the fund
holds a significant amount of such securities with remaining maturities of more
than 60 days, the securities are valued at prices furnished by dealers who make
markets in such securities or by an independent pricing service.
Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund’s closing net asset
value per share on the day of valuation.
Other investments, including restricted securities and private placements,
and those financial instruments for which the above valuation procedures
are inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value, are stated at fair
value as determined in good faith by the T. Rowe Price Valuation Committee,
established by the fund’s Board of Directors (the Board). Subject to oversight
by the Board, the Valuation Committee develops pricing-related policies
and procedures and approves all fair-value determinations. The Valuation
Committee regularly makes good faith judgments, using a wide variety of
sources and information, to establish and adjust valuations of certain securities
as events occur and circumstances warrant. For instance, in determining the
fair value of private-equity instruments, the Valuation Committee considers
a variety of factors, including the company’s business prospects, its financial
performance, strategic events impacting the company, relevant valuations of
similar companies, new rounds of financing, and any negotiated transactions of
significant size between other investors in the company. Because any fair-value
determination involves a significant amount of judgment, there is a degree of
subjectivity inherent in such pricing decisions.
For valuation purposes, the last quoted prices of non-U.S. equity securities
may be adjusted under the circumstances described below. If the fund deter-
mines that developments between the close of a foreign market and the close
of the NYSE will, in its judgment, materially affect the value of some or all
of its portfolio securities, the fund will adjust the previous closing prices to
reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities as of the close of the
NYSE. In deciding whether it is necessary to adjust closing prices to reflect fair
value, the fund reviews a variety of factors, including developments in foreign
markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets, and the performance of
instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign securities and baskets
of foreign securities. A fund may also fair value securities in other situations,
such as when a particular foreign market is closed but the fund is open. The
fund uses outside pricing services to provide it with closing prices and informa-
tion to evaluate and/or adjust those prices. The fund cannot predict how often
it will use closing prices and how often it will determine it necessary to adjust
Proof #4
30
T. Rowe Price New Asia Fund
those prices to reflect fair value. As a means of evaluating its security valuation
process, the fund routinely compares closing prices, the next day’s opening
prices in the same markets, and adjusted prices. Additionally, trading in the
underlying securities of the fund may take place in various foreign markets
on certain days when the fund is not open for business and does not calculate
a net asset value. As a result, net asset values may be significantly affected on
days when shareholders cannot make transactions.
valuation Inputs Various inputs are used to determine the value of the fund’s
financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels
listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments
Level 2 – observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices (including, but
not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk)
Level 3 – unobservable inputs
Observable inputs are those based on market data obtained from sources
independent of the fund, and unobservable inputs reflect the fund’s own
assumptions based on the best information available. The input levels are not
necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instru-
ments at that level. For example, non-U.S. equity securities actively traded
in foreign markets generally are reflected in Level 2 despite the availability
of closing prices because the fund evaluates and determines whether those
closing prices reflect fair value at the close of the NYSE or require adjustment,
as described above. The following table summarizes the fund’s financial instru-
ments, based on the inputs used to determine their values on April 30, 2012:

NOTE 3 - OTHER INvESTMENT TRaNSaCTIONS
Consistent with its investment objective, the fund engages in the following prac-
tices to manage exposure to certain risks and/or to enhance performance. The
investment objective, policies, program, and risk factors of the fund are described
more fully in the fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
Emerging Markets At April 30, 2012, approximately 79% of the fund’s net
assets were invested, either directly or through investments in T. Rowe Price
institutional funds, in securities of companies located in emerging markets,
securities issued by governments of emerging market countries, and/or securi-
ties denominated in or linked to the currencies of emerging market countries.
Emerging market securities are often subject to greater price volatility, less
liquidity, and higher rates of inflation than U.S. securities. In addition, emerging
markets may be subject to greater political, economic, and social uncertainty,
and differing regulatory environments that may potentially impact the fund’s
ability to buy or sell certain securities or repatriate proceeds to U.S. dollars.
Repurchase agreements All repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by
U.S. government securities. Collateral is in the possession of the fund’s custo-
dian or, for tri-party agreements, the custodian designated by the agreement.
Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the fund could experience a delay
in recovering its value and a possible loss of income or value if the counterparty
fails to perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
China a shares During the six months ended April 30, 2012, the fund
invested in certain Chinese equity securities (A shares) available only to local
Chinese investors and Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (QFII). The
fund gains access to the A-share market through T. Rowe Price Associates,
Inc., which serves as the registered QFII for all participating T. Rowe Price-
sponsored products (each a participating account). Investment decisions related
to A shares are specific to each participating account, and each account bears
the resultant economic and tax consequences of its holdings and transactions
in A shares. The fund is subject to certain restrictions and administrative
processes relating to its ability to repatriate cash balances, investment proceeds,
and earnings associated with its A shares and may incur substantial delays in
gaining access to its assets or a loss of value in the event of noncompliance
with applicable Chinese rules or requirements. Current Chinese tax law is
unclear whether capital gains realized on the fund’s investments in A shares
will be subject to tax. Because management believes it more likely than not that
Chinese capital gains tax ultimately will not be imposed, there are no accrued
taxes reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

T. Rowe Price New Asia Fund
Securities Lending The fund lends its securities to approved brokers to earn
additional income. It receives as collateral cash and U.S. government securi-
ties valued at 102% to 105% of the value of the securities on loan. Collateral
is maintained over the life of the loan in an amount not less than the value of
loaned securities as determined at the close of fund business each day; any
additional collateral required due to changes in security values is delivered to
the fund the next business day. Cash collateral is invested by the fund’s lending
agent(s) in accordance with investment guidelines approved by management.
Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the fund could experience a
delay in recovering its securities and a possible loss of income or value if the
borrower fails to return the securities or if collateral investments decline in
value. Securities lending revenue recognized by the fund consists of earnings
on invested collateral and borrowing fees, net of any rebates to the borrower
and compensation to the lending agent. In accordance with GAAP, investments
made with cash collateral are reflected in the accompanying financial statements,
but collateral received in the form of securities are not. On April 30, 2012, the
value of cash collateral investments was $33,654,000, and the value of loaned
securities was $31,659,000.
Other Purchases and sales of portfolio securities other than short-term securities
aggregated $771,499,000 and $874,402,000, respectively, for the six months
ended April 30, 2012.
NOTE 4 - fEDERaL INCOME TaxES
No provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to
continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M
of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its taxable
income and gains. Distributions determined in accordance with federal income
tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income
and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records
are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character but are
not adjusted for temporary differences. The amount and character of tax-basis
distributions and composition of net assets are finalized at fiscal year-end;
accordingly, tax-basis balances have not been determined as of the date of
this report.
At April 30, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was
$3,599,423,000. Net unrealized gain aggregated $608,033,000 at period-end,
of which $819,266,000 related to appreciated investments and $211,233,000
related to depreciated investments.

NOTE 5 - fOREIGN TaxES
The fund is subject to foreign income taxes imposed by certain countries in
which it invests. Acquisition of certain foreign currencies related to security
transactions are also subject to tax. Additionally, capital gains realized by the
fund upon disposition of securities issued in or by certain foreign countries are
subject to capital gains tax imposed by those countries. All taxes are computed
in accordance with the applicable foreign tax law, and, to the extent permitted,
capital losses are used to offset capital gains. Taxes attributable to income are
accrued by the fund as a reduction of income. Taxes incurred on the purchase of
foreign currencies are recorded as realized loss on foreign currency transactions.
Current and deferred tax expense attributable to net capital gains is reflected
as a component of realized and/or change in unrealized gain/loss on securities
in the accompanying financial statements. At April 30, 2012, the fund had no
deferred tax liability attributable to foreign securities and $4,753,000 of foreign
capital loss carryforwards all of which expire in 2020.
NOTE 6 - RELaTED PaRTY TRaNSaCTIONS
The fund is managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Price Associates), a
wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (Price Group). Price
Associates has entered into subadvisory agreements with T. Rowe Price
International Ltd and T. Rowe Price Hong Kong Limited, wholly owned
subsidiaries of Price Associates, to provide investment advisory services to the
fund; the subadvisory agreements provide that Price Associates may pay the
subadvisors up to 60% of the management fee that Price Associates receives
from the fund. The investment management agreement between the fund and
Price Associates provides for an annual investment management fee, which is
computed daily and paid monthly. The fee consists of an individual fund fee,
equal to 0.50% of the fund’s average daily net assets, and a group fee. The
group fee rate is calculated based on the combined net assets of certain mutual
funds sponsored by Price Associates (the group) applied to a graduated fee
schedule, with rates ranging from 0.48% for the first $1 billion of assets to
0.28% for assets in excess of $300 billion. The fund’s group fee is determined
by applying the group fee rate to the fund’s average daily net assets. At April 30,
2012, the effective annual group fee rate was 0.30%.
In addition, the fund has entered into service agreements with Price Associates
and two wholly owned subsidiaries of Price Associates (collectively, Price).
Price Associates computes the daily share price and provides certain other
administrative services to the fund. T. Rowe Price Services, Inc., provides
Proof #4
34
T. Rowe Price New Asia Fund
shareholder and administrative services in its capacity as the fund’s transfer
and dividend disbursing agent. T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc.,
provides subaccounting and recordkeeping services for certain retirement
accounts invested in the fund. For the six months ended April 30, 2012,
expenses incurred pursuant to these service agreements were $74,000 for Price
Associates; $905,000 for T. Rowe Price Services, Inc.; and $81,000 for T. Rowe
Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. The total amount payable at period-end
pursuant to these service agreements is reflected as Due to Affiliates in the
accompanying financial statements.
The fund is also one of several mutual funds sponsored by Price Associates
(underlying Price funds) in which the T. Rowe Price Spectrum Funds
(Spectrum Funds) may invest. The Spectrum Funds do not invest in the
underlying Price funds for the purpose of exercising management or control.
Pursuant to a special servicing agreement, expenses associated with the opera-
tion of the Spectrum Funds are borne by each underlying Price fund to the
extent of estimated savings to it and in proportion to the average daily value
of its shares owned by the Spectrum Funds. Expenses allocated under this
agreement are reflected as shareholder servicing expense in the accompanying
financial statements. For the six months ended April 30, 2012, the fund was
allocated $56,000 of Spectrum Funds’ expenses, of which $38,000 related to
services provided by Price. The amount payable at period-end pursuant to
this agreement is reflected as Due to Affiliates in the accompanying financial
statements. Additionally, redemption fees received by the Spectrum Funds are
allocated to each underlying Price fund in proportion to the average daily value
of its shares owned by the Spectrum Funds. At April 30, 2012, approximately
2% of the outstanding shares of the fund were held by the Spectrum Funds.
The fund may invest in the T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Fund and the
T. Rowe Price Government Reserve Investment Fund (collectively, the T. Rowe
Price Reserve Investment Funds), open-end management investment companies
managed by Price Associates and considered affiliates of the fund. The T. Rowe
Price Reserve Investment Funds are offered as cash management options to
mutual funds, trusts, and other accounts managed by Price Associates and/or its
affiliates and are not available for direct purchase by members of the public. The
T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Funds pay no investment management fees.

Approval of Investment Management Agreement
On March 6, 2012, the fund’s Board of Directors (Board) unanimously approved the con-
tinuation of the investment advisory agreement (Advisory Contract) between the fund and
its investment advisor, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Advisor). The Board also unani-
mously approved the continuation of the investment subadvisory agreement (Subadvisory
Contract) that the Advisor has entered into with T. Rowe Price International Ltd and T. Rowe
Price Hong Kong Limited (Subadvisors) on behalf of the fund. The Board considered a
variety of factors in connection with its review of the Advisory Contract and Subadvisory
Contract, also taking into account information provided by the Advisor during the course of
the year, as discussed below:
Services Provided by the advisor and Subadvisors
The Board considered the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided to the
fund by the Advisor and Subadvisors. These services included, but were not limited to,
directing the fund’s investments in accordance with its investment program and the
overall management of the fund’s portfolio, as well as a variety of related activities such
as financial, accounting, and administrative services; maintaining the fund’s records and
registrations; and shareholder communications. The Board also reviewed the background
and experience of the Advisor’s and Subadvisors’ senior management teams and invest-
ment personnel involved in the management of the fund. The Board concluded that it
was satisfied with the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided by the Advisor
and Subadvisors.
Investment Performance of the fund
The Board reviewed the fund’s average annual total returns over the three-month and
1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods, as well as the fund’s year-by-year returns, and compared
these returns with a wide variety of previously agreed upon comparable performance
measures and market data, including those supplied by Lipper and Morningstar, which
are independent providers of mutual fund data. On the basis of this evaluation and the
Board’s ongoing review of investment results, and factoring in the relative market condi-
tions during certain of the performance periods, the Board concluded that the fund’s
performance was satisfactory.
Costs, Benefits, Profits, and Economies of Scale
The Board reviewed detailed information regarding the revenues received by the Advisor
under the Advisory Contract and other benefits that the Advisor (and its affiliates, including
the Subadvisors) may have realized from its relationship with the fund, including research
received under “soft dollar” agreements and commission-sharing arrangements with
broker-dealers. The Board considered that the Advisor and Subadvisors may receive some
benefit from soft-dollar arrangements pursuant to which research is received from broker-
dealers that execute the applicable fund’s portfolio transactions. The Board received infor-
mation on the estimated costs incurred and profits realized by the Advisor from managing
T. Rowe Price mutual funds. The Board also reviewed estimates of the gross profits realized
from managing the fund in particular, and the Board concluded that the Advisor’s profits
were reasonable in light of the services provided to the fund.
Proof #4
37
T. Rowe Price New Asia Fund
Approval of Investment Management Agreement (continued)
The Board also considered whether the fund or other funds benefit under the fee levels set
forth in the Advisory Contract from any economies of scale realized by the Advisor. Under
the Advisory Contract, the fund pays a fee to the Advisor for investment management
services composed of two components—a group fee rate based on the combined average
net assets of most of the T. Rowe Price mutual funds (including the fund) that declines
at certain asset levels and an individual fund fee rate based on the fund’s average daily
net assets—and the fund pays its own expenses of operations. Under the Subadvisory
Contract, the Advisor may pay each Subadvisor up to 60% of the advisory fee that the
Advisor receives from the fund. The Board concluded that the advisory fee structure for
the fund continued to provide for a reasonable sharing of benefits from any economies of
scale with the fund’s investors.
fees
The Board was provided with information regarding industry trends in management
fees and expenses, and the Board reviewed the fund’s management fee rate, operating
expenses, and total expense ratio in comparison with fees and expenses of other compa-
rable funds based on information and data supplied by Lipper. The information provided
to the Board indicated that the fund’s management fee rate and total expense ratio were
above the median for certain groups of comparable funds but below the median for other
groups of comparable funds.
The Board also reviewed the fee schedules for institutional accounts and private accounts
with similar mandates that are advised or subadvised by the Advisor and its affiliates.
Management provided the Board with information about the Advisor’s responsibilities
and services provided to institutional account clients that illustrated how the require-
ments and economies of the institutional business are fundamentally different from those
of the mutual fund business. The information showed that the Advisor’s responsibilities
for its institutional account business are more limited than its responsibilities for the
fund and other T. Rowe Price mutual funds that it advises and that the Advisor performs
significant additional services and assumes greater risk for the fund and other T. Rowe
Price mutual funds than it does for institutional account clients. On the basis of the infor-
mation provided, the Board concluded that the fees paid by the fund under the Advisory
Contract were reasonable.
approval of the advisory Contract and Subadvisory Contract
As noted, the Board approved the continuation of the Advisory Contract and Subadvisory
Contract. No single factor was considered in isolation or to be determinative to the
decision. Rather, the Board was assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel and
concluded, in light of a weighting and balancing of all factors considered, that it was in the
best interests of the fund and its shareholders for the Board to approve the continuation
of the Advisory Contract and Subadvisory Contract (including the fees to be charged for
services thereunder).

SUMMARY
PROSPECTUS
PRASX
March 1, 2013
T. Rowe Price
New Asia Fund
A fund seeking long-term growth of capital through investments in common stocks
of companies located (or with primary operations) in Asia (excluding Japan).
Before you invest, you may want to review the fund’s prospectus, which contains more information
about the fund and its risks. You can find the fund’s prospectus and other information about the fund
online at troweprice.com/prospectus. You can also get this information at no cost by calling
1-800-225-5132 or by sending an e-mail request to info@troweprice.com. This Summary Prospectus
incorporates by reference the fund’s prospectus, dated March 1, 2013, and Statement of Additional
Information, dated March 1, 2013.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these securities or passed
upon the adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
SUMMARY 1
Investment Objective
The fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments primarily in the
common stocks of companies located (or with primary operations) in Asia (excluding
Japan).
Fees and Expenses
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold
shares of the fund.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
Shareholder fees (fees paid directly from your investment)
Maximum sales charge (load) imposed on
purchases NONE
Maximum deferred sales charge (load) NONE
Redemption fee (as a percentage of amount
redeemed on shares held for 90 days or less) 2.00%
Maximum account fee $20
a
Annual fund operating expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a
percentage of the value of your investment)
Management fees 0.80%
Distribution and service (12b-1) fees 0.00%
Other expenses 0.15%
Total annual fund operating expenses 0.95%
a Subject to certain exceptions, accounts with a balance of less than $10,000 are charged an annual $20 fee.
Example This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the
fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you
invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your
shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment
has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your
costs would be:
1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years
$97 $303 $525 $1,166
Portfolio Turnover The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it
buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover
rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual
fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the
T. ROWE PRICE 2
most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 41.1% of the average
value of its portfolio.
Investments, Risks, and Performance
Principal Investment Strategies The fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net
assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) in Asian companies
(excluding Japanese companies). The fund may purchase the stocks of companies of
any size. The fund expects to make substantially all of its investments in common
stocks of companies located (or with primary operations) in the countries listed
below, as well as others as their markets develop:
• Primary Emphasis: China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines,
Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand.
• Others: Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam.
The fund is “nondiversified,” meaning it may invest a greater portion of assets in a
single company and own more of the company’s voting securities than is permissible
for a “diversified” fund.
While the fund invests with an awareness of the outlook for industry sectors and
individual countries within the region, bottom-up stock selection is the focus of our
decision-making. Country allocation is driven largely by stock selection, though we
may limit investments in markets that appear to have poor overall prospects.
Security selection reflects a growth style. The fund relies on a global team of
investment analysts dedicated to in-depth fundamental research in an effort to
identify companies capable of achieving and sustaining above-average, long-term
earnings growth. We seek to purchase stocks of such companies at reasonable prices
in relation to present or anticipated earnings, cash flow, or book value.
In selecting investments, the fund generally favors companies with one or more of the
following characteristics:
• leading or improving market position;
• attractive business niche;
• attractive or improving franchise or industry position;
• seasoned management;
• stable or improving earnings and/or cash flow; and
• sound or improving balance sheet.
The fund may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit
losses, or redeploy assets into more promising opportunities.
Principal Risks As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the fund will
achieve its objective. The fund’s share price fluctuates, which means you could lose
money by investing in the fund. The principal risks of investing in this fund are
summarized as follows:
SUMMARY 3
Active management risk The fund is subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s
judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the fund’s
investments may prove to be incorrect. If the securities selected and strategies
employed by the fund fail to produce the intended results, the fund could
underperform other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies.
Risks of stock investing Stocks generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and may
decline significantly over short time periods. There is a chance that stock prices
overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of
rising prices and falling prices. The value of a stock in which the fund invests may
decline due to general weakness in the stock market or because of factors that affect a
company or a particular industry.
Foreign investing risk Investing in the securities of non-U.S. companies involves
special risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. Foreign
securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities,
and may lose value because of adverse political, social, or economic developments
overseas, or due to changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the
U.S. dollar. In addition, foreign investments are subject to settlement practices, and
regulatory and financial reporting standards, that differ from those of the U.S.
Emerging markets risk The risks of foreign investing are heightened for securities of
issuers in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries tend to have
economic structures that are less diverse and mature, and political systems that are
less stable, than those of developed countries. In addition to all of the risks of
investing in foreign developed markets, emerging markets are more susceptible to
governmental interference, local taxes being imposed on foreign investments,
restrictions on gaining access to sales proceeds, and less liquid and efficient trading
markets.
Geographic concentration risk Because the fund concentrates its investments in a
particular geographic region, the fund’s performance is closely tied to the social,
political, and economic conditions within that region. Political developments and
changes in regulatory, tax, or economic policy in particular countries within the
region could significantly affect the markets in those countries as well as the entire
region. As a result, the fund is likely to be more volatile than more geographically
diverse international funds.
Many Asian economies have at various times been negatively affected by inflation, an
over-reliance on international trade, political and social instability, and less
developed financial systems and securities trading markets. Trade restrictions,
unexpected decreases in exports, changes in government policies, or natural disasters
could have a significant impact on companies doing business in Asia.
Nondiversification risk As a nondiversified fund, the fund has the ability to invest a
larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a
diversified fund. As a result, poor performance by a single issuer could adversely
T. ROWE PRICE 4
affect fund performance more than if the fund were invested in a larger number of
issuers. The fund’s share price can be expected to fluctuate more than that of a
comparable diversified fund.
Investment style risk Different investment styles tend to shift in and out of favor,
depending on market conditions and investor sentiment. The fund’s growth
approach to investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that employ
a different investment style. Growth stocks tend to be more volatile than certain other
types of stocks and their prices usually fluctuate more dramatically than the overall
stock market. A stock with growth characteristics can have sharp price declines due
to decreases in current or expected earnings and may lack dividends that can help
cushion its share price in a declining market.
Performance The bar chart showing calendar year returns and the average annual
total returns table indicate risk by illustrating how much returns can differ from one
year to the next and how fund performance compares with that of a comparable
market index. The fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily
an indication of future performance.
The fund can also experience short-term performance swings, as shown by the best
and worst calendar quarter returns during the years depicted.

In addition, the average annual total returns table shows hypothetical after-tax
returns to suggest how taxes paid by a shareholder may influence returns. After-tax
returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income
tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns
depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax

to recommend the fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your
financial intermediary’s website for more information on these payments.
