Introduction
SCREEN 1: Hello, my name is [STATE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME]
and I am calling from D.F. King & Co. on behalf of Target Asset Allocation Funds.
May I speak with Mr./Mrs./Ms. [SHAREHOLDER’S LAST NAME]? Recently, you were mailed a [proxy statement], along with a proxy card or voting instruction form to cast your vote at the upcoming Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on March 15, 2013. The tabulator for the Special Meeting has yet to receive your vote. Therefore, I’m calling to ask if you would be willing to vote your shares by telephone with me now? |
IF THEY DID NOT RECEIVE PROXY MATERIALS – Help the shareholder obtain the materials he/she requires. If a NOBO, give him/her the 800# and have them call back when they receive the materials. If registered, we will send the materials directly. In either case, make sure the address is correct, make any necessary corrections, and code the disposition as “14” or “15”.
IF YES – The Fund’s Board has approved the proposal and is recommending a vote in favor of the proposal. Would you like to vote your shares as recommended by the Board on the proposal? Just to confirm, you have voted with the recommendation of the Board on the proposal. Is that correct? |
IF YES – Thank you. I’ve recorded your vote as recommended by the Board in favor of the proposal. We’ll send a written confirmation of this vote to you at your address of record. For confirmation purposes, please tell me your city, state and zip code? |
If the city, state and zip code are correct: Thank you for your time and your vote Mr./Mrs./Ms. [SHAREHOLDER’S LAST NAME]. Have a good [DAY/AFTERNOON/EVENING]. END CALL. If the city, state and/or zip code are NOT correct: Mr./Mrs./Ms.[SHAREHOLDER’S LAST NAME] the city, state and/or zip code that you just recited for me doesn’t match our records and, therefore, I can’t take your vote by telephone. Instead, I urge you to complete, sign, date and return your proxy card or voting instruction form at your earliest convenience, or vote your shares by touch-tone telephone or on the Internet by following the instructions provided on your proxy card or voting instruction form. Thank you for your time and have a good [DAY/AFTERNOON/EVENING]. END CALL. IF NO – [REFER TO APPROPRIATE REBUTTAL AND CONCLUDE BY ASKING IF UPON REFLECTION THE SHAREHOLDER WOULD LIKE YOU TO RECORD A VOTE CONSISTENT WITH THE BOARD’S RECOMMENDATION ON THE PROPOSAL.] IF YES – Thank you. I’ve recorded your vote as recommended by the Board on the proposal. We’ll send written confirmation of this vote to you at your address of record.
