of the Distributor’s and/or its affiliates’ payment or reimbursement of ticket charges that would otherwise be assessed by
a financial representative on an investor’s fund transactions. The level of revenue sharing payments made to financial representatives may be a fixed fee or based upon one or more of the following factors: gross sales, current assets and/or number of accounts of each fund attributable to the financial representative, the particular fund or fund type or other measures
as agreed to by the Advisor, the Distributor and/or their affiliates and the financial representatives or any combination thereof.
The amount of these payments is determined at the discretion of the Advisor, the Distributor and/or their affiliates from
time to time, may be substantial, and may be different for different financial representatives based on, for example, the
nature of the services provided by the financial representative.
The Advisor, the Distributor and/or their affiliates currently make revenue sharing payments from their own assets in connection with the sale and/or distribution of DWS fund shares, or the retention and/or servicing of investors, to financial representatives
in amounts that generally range from 0.01% up to 0.52% of assets of a fund serviced and maintained by the financial representative, 0.05% to 0.25% of sales of a fund attributable to the financial representative, a flat fee of up to $95,000, or any combination thereof. These amounts are annual figures typically paid on a quarterly basis and are subject to change at the
discretion of the Advisor, the Distributor and/or their affiliates. Receipt of, or the prospect of receiving, this additional
compensation, may influence your financial representative’s recommendation of a fund or of any particular share class of a fund. You should review your financial representative’s compensation disclosure and/or talk to your financial representative to
obtain more information on how this compensation may have influenced your financial representative’s recommendation of a fund.
Other Payments to Financial Intermediaries. In addition to the above-described payments, the Distributor may, using its legitimate profits, pay fees to a financial intermediary who sells shares of the funds for other products or services offered
through the financial intermediary that are unrelated to the sale or distribution of the funds’ shares, but which may be helpful
to the Distributor in carrying out its distribution responsibilities. Such products or services may include access to various
kinds of analytical data. Such payments may be in the form of licensing fees.
The following paragraph is added for all funds except DWS ESG Liquidity Fund: The Advisor, the Distributor and/or their affiliates may also make such revenue sharing payments to financial representatives under the terms discussed above
in connection with the distribution of both DWS funds and non-DWS funds by financial representatives to retirement plans that obtain recordkeeping services from ADP, Inc. or to 403(b) plans that obtain recordkeeping services from Ascensus, Inc.
on the DWS-branded retirement plan platform (the Platform). The level of revenue sharing payments is based upon sales of both the DWS funds and the non-DWS funds by the financial representative on the Platform or current assets of both the DWS funds and the non-DWS funds serviced and maintained by the financial representative on the Platform.
As of the date hereof, each fund has been advised that the Advisor, the Distributor and their affiliates expect that the firms
listed in Part II —Appendix II-E will receive revenue sharing payments at different points during the coming year as described above.
The following information replaces similar existing disclosure in “APPENDIX II-E - FIRMS WITH WHICH DWS HAS REVENUE SHARING ARRANGEMENTS” in Part II of each fund’s/portfolio’s Statement of Additional Information:
