Please exercise your right to vote as soon as possible!

Dear Shareholder:

We recently sent you proxy materials concerning an important merger proposal affecting your fund(s), which was considered at a Special Meeting of Shareholders of the funds on August 9, 2023 at 8:30 a.m., Eastern Time. The Meeting has been adjourned to allow shareholders more time to vote. The Meeting will reconvene on October 13, 2023, at 3:00 p.m., Eastern Time. The Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only, which will be conducted online via live webcast. This letter was sent because you held shares in the fund(s) on the record date and we have not received your vote.

YOUR FUND’S BOARD OF TRUSTEES RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL

YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT

VOTING NOW HELPS MINIMIZE PROXY COSTS, AVOIDS UNNECESSARY

COMMUNICATIONS AND ELIMINATES PHONE CALLS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Your vote is very important. We encourage you as a shareholder to participate in your fund’s governance by returning your vote as soon as possible. If enough shareholders fail to cast their votes, a fund may not be able to hold its Meeting or the vote on the merger and will be required to incur additional solicitation costs in order to obtain sufficient shareholder participation.

Because your vote is critical, our outreach to you will continue until there is sufficient voting.

Please vote using one of the following options:

 

  1.

The proxy materials we sent you contain important information regarding the proposal that you and other shareholders are being asked to consider. Please read the materials carefully. If you have any questions regarding the proposal, or need assistance with voting, you may call Computershare Fund Services, the funds’ proxy solicitor, toll free at 1-877-520-8548.
