Dear Shareholder:

On behalf of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of each of AllianzGI Artificial Intelligence & Technology Opportunities Fund (“AIO”), AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund (“NCV”), AllianzGI Convertible & Income Fund II (“NCZ”), AllianzGI Convertible & Income 2024 Target Term Fund (“CBH”), AllianzGI Diversified Income & Convertible Fund (“ACV”), AllianzGI Equity & Convertible Income Fund (“NIE”) and AllianzGI Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund (“NFJ”) (each, a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”), we are pleased to invite you to the joint special meetings (the “Meetings”) of the Shareholders of the Funds to be held at the offices of Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (“AllianzGI U.S.”), at 1633 Broadway, between West 50th and West 51st Streets, 42nd Floor, New York, New York 10019, scheduled for 12:00 p.m., Eastern time, on October 28, 2020. Shareholders will also be able to attend the Meetings virtually via webcast. The Meetings are being held to approve a series of changes to the Funds that will allow a transition to a new management structure (the “Transition”) in line with the strategic partnership described below.

On July 7, 2020, AllianzGI U.S., the current investment adviser to each Fund, announced that it had agreed to a strategic partnership with Virtus Investment Partners, Inc., which operates a multi-boutique asset management business. Central to the strategic partnership, and subject to certain Shareholder approvals and additional terms and conditions, affiliates of Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. will become investment adviser and administrator of certain of the Funds as well as other AllianzGI U.S.-managed products. AllianzGI U.S. teams will continue to manage AIO, NCV, NCZ, CBH, ACV and NIE in a sub-advisory capacity. AllianzGI U.S.’s Dallas-based Value Equity team, formerly known as NFJ Investment Group, will join Virtus as an affiliated manager and manage NFJ in a sub-advisory capacity. As discussed further in the Proxy Statement, Virtus has agreed to contractually limit each Fund’s expenses for two years from the closing of the Transition, so that each Fund’s net total expenses do not exceed current levels. Though the Transition will result in significant changes for the Funds, it is not expected to directly result in any change to the personnel responsible for managing the Funds’ assets or the composition of the Funds’ portfolios or in any increase in the fees or expenses borne by Fund Shareholders.

At the upcoming special Meetings, Shareholders will be asked to consider and vote with respect to certain proposals related to the Transition. Specifically, Shareholders will be asked to consider approval of new investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements that will be necessary to complete the Transition.

Each Fund’s Board has unanimously approved these proposals for the Fund and recommends that each Shareholder vote for each proposal on which he or she is entitled to vote.

No matter how many shares you own, your timely vote is important. If you are not available to attend the Meetings, then please promptly give your voting instructions by telephone or via the internet by following the enclosed instructions on your proxy card or you may vote by completing, signing, dating and returning the proxy card in order to avoid the added cost of follow-up solicitations. If you vote by telephone or via the internet, you will be asked to enter a unique code that has been assigned to you, which is printed on your proxy card. This code is designed to confirm your identity, provide access to the voting site and confirm that your instructions are properly recorded. If you have any questions regarding the Proxy Statement, please call AST Fund Solutions, LLC at 1-877-361-7967.

Thank you in advance for your participation in this important vote.

Sincerely,

Thomas J. Fuccillo

President and Chief Executive Officer

New York, New York
