DRAFT – RidgeWorth Proxylite Script – post-mailing version

Hi, this is Julia Short, President and CEO of RidgeWorth Funds.

I’m calling to personally ask for your vote for a RidgeWorth Funds’ Proxy and Special Meeting of Shareholders that has been adjourned to May 30, 2017 due to insufficient votes from shareholders.

Your participation in this important vote regarding the proposed reorganizations of RidgeWorth Funds into the Virtus Asset Trust is urgently needed.

You can vote now by pressing 1 to be connected with a Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions proxy specialist, or if this message was recorded on your voicemail, you can call them now to vote at 1-855-928-4486. Broadridge can also assist you if you need new proxy materials or answer any questions.

If you still have your proxy materials, voting instructions are included on your ballot. Regardless of the number of shares that you may own, your vote is important as it ensures the continued, successful management and operation of the Funds.

Thank you for your time and your vote.
