FMG Sales Teams – Financial Advisor Outreach Script and Q&A

Good morning/afternoon/evening, <financial advisor name>.

I’m calling because one <or more?> of your clients is a shareholder of an Evergreen or Wells Fargo Advantage Fund who has been asked to vote on merging or reorganizing his or her fund into a Wells Fargo Advantage Fund.

Your client should have recently received a proxy package regarding the proposed changes that will result in the integration of the mutual fund families.

Because achieving the necessary votes is a critical step in completing the fund integration scheduled for mid-July, I’d like to ask your help in reaching out to your client(s) to encourage them to exercise their right to vote in this important proxy.

The Boards of Trustees of both fund families have unanimously agreed that these mergers are in the Funds’ best interests and recommend that shareholders cast a favorable vote.

If your client has already voted, we’d like to thank them for taking the time to do so.

If they have NOT voted, please let them know that it only takes a few minutes and that their vote is essential to a smooth transition of the fund lineup.

If they don’t have the proxy package handy, they can call our proxy vendor—The Altman Group—at 1-800-499-8519 for information on the proposals and the shareholder meeting agenda and to record their vote by phone.

Shareholders can vote right now by phone or online:

Call 1-800-499-8519; shareholders will need the control number printed on their proxy ballot/card, but a representative can look up his/her information if he/she doesn’t have the control number handy.
Go to www.wellsfargo.com/advantagefunds and click on the “vote your proxy” icon at the top, right-hand corner of the homepage. Shareholders will need the control number printed on their proxy ballot/card.

Again, I just want to stress how essential it is that shareholders exercise their right to vote in this important proxy. Doing so will help ensure the timely integration of the fund families.

Thank you in advance for your help; I’m happy to answer any questions you may have.

This is not an offer to sell, nor a solicitation of an offer to buy, shares of any investment company, nor is it a solicitation of any proxy.

Additional information and where to find it

In connection with the proposed transaction, the acquirer has filed a Prospectus/Proxy Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
