More information about the Acquiring Fund and the definitive terms of the proposed Reorganization will be included in proxy materials.

The Reorganization is subject to certain conditions, including approval by shareholders of each Fund. Proxy materials regarding the merger will be distributed to owners of the variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies, as applicable, who are shareholders of each Fund, as of the close of business on February 22, 2022 (“Record Date”). A meeting of shareholders, as of the Record Date, to consider the Reorganization is scheduled to be held on or about June 6, 2022, and the Reorganization of each Fund is expected to be completed on or about June 10, 2022 (“Closing Date”).

The prospectus/proxy statement contains important information about fund objectives, strategies, fees, expenses and risk considerations. The prospectus/proxy statement is also available for free on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov). Please read the prospectus/proxy statement carefully before making any decision to invest or when considering the Reorganization proposal.
