###

This press release is not a recommendation, an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to sell shares of FPT or FMN. FPT has not commenced the tender offer mentioned in this press release. Any tender offer would be made only by an offer to purchase, a related letter of transmittal and other documents that would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) as exhibits to a tender offer statement on Schedule TO and would be available free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

 

This press release mentions a reorganization, which, if approved by shareholders, would be conducted pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization that will be included in a registration statement, to be filed by FMN (Registration Statement). This Registration Statement has yet to be filed with the SEC. After the Registration Statement is filed with the SEC, it may be amended or withdrawn until the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC. A joint proxy statement/prospectus to be included in the Registration Statement will not be distributed to shareholders of FPT and FMN unless and until the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC. The joint proxy statement/prospectus will contain information with respect to the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the funds and other important information about FPT and FMN. The joint proxy statement/prospectus will constitute neither an offer to sell securities, nor will it constitute a solicitation of an offer to buy securities, in any state where such offer or sale is not permitted.

 

Shareholders should read (i) any offer to purchase and tender offer statement on Schedule TO and related exhibits and (ii) any Registration Statement and joint proxy statement/prospectus if and when those documents are filed and become available, as they would contain important information about the tender offer and proposed reorganization, respectively. Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of FPT and FMN carefully.

 

Certain statements made in this press release, such as those related to the tender offer and reorganization, are forward-looking statements. Actual future results or occurrences may differ significantly from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements due to numerous factors. These include, but are not limited to: market developments; legal and regulatory developments; and other additional risks and uncertainties. As a result, none of the investment advisor, the fund or any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of such statements in the future.
