Fidelity Investments

Introduction


Hello, Im calling on behalf of Fidelity Investments. My name is ___________ and Im calling from D.F. King & Co., Inc. May I speak with Mr./Ms. __________.

(Once Shareholder is on the line)

Mr./Ms. ___________, this conversation will be recorded. D.F. King & Co., Inc. has been retained by Fidelity Investments to help solicit and record shareholder votes with regards to the special shareholders meeting of [NAME OF FUND] scheduled for [shareholder meeting date]. Have you received the proxy statement regarding the meeting? [If the shareholder meeting has been adjourned: The original shareholder meeting scheduled for [original shareholder meeting date] has been adjourned until [adjourned shareholder meeting date] due to a lack of shareholder participation.]

IF NO Then help the shareholder obtain the material he/she requires. If a NOBO, give him/her the 800# and have them call back when they receive. 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 funds Board of Trustees is asking you to consider [#] proposal[s] which they have studied carefully and they recommend that you vote in favor of proposal[s] [#] [and against proposal[s] [#]]. For your convenience I can record your vote over the telephone. Otherwise you can cast your vote by mail, internet, or touch-tone telephone if you still have your paper proxy card. If you received your proxy material electronically you can vote via internet or touch-tone telephone as indicated in the email you received. Would you like me to record your vote over the telephone right now?

 

 

IF YES - Do you have any questions before we proceed?

If shareholder asks how to vote via the internet, the website is located on the shareholders paper proxy card or in the email he/she received that contained the proxy material; the shareholder will need the control number from his/her proxy card or email in order to vote.

If shareholder asks how to vote via touch-tone telephone, the telephone number is located on the shareholders paper proxy card or in the email he/she received that contained the proxy material- he/she will need the control number from his/her proxy card or email in order to vote.

Take time to answer all questions carefully. Do not give advice. Remind the shareholder that his/her Board Members have recommended that he/she vote in favor of proposal[s] [#] [and against proposal[s] [#]]. Most questions can be addressed by referring to the Q&A that accompanied the proxy statement or, if more detail is required, and by reading the appropriate sections in the proxy statement (including, with respect to any shareholder proposal, the “Statement of Opposition” that follows the proposal).


Here is how we will proceed. The call will be recorded. I will ask you for two pieces of information for verification: your name and your address. Finally, I will confirm that you have received the proxy materials and take your vote. You will be mailed a letter confirming your vote, which will tell you how to make any changes, if you wish to do so. Do you feel comfortable with this process?

 


IF NO Do you have any questions that I may answer about this proxy for you?

 

Take time to answer all questions carefully. Do not give advice.

Your vote is very important. At your earliest convenience please vote your shares.

Introduction


Hello, Im calling on behalf of Fidelity Investments.  My name is ___________ and Im calling from D.F. King & Co., Inc. May I speak with Mr./Ms. __________.

(Once Shareholder is on the line)

Mr./Ms. ___________, this conversation will be recorded. D.F. King & Co., Inc. has been retained by Fidelity Investments to help solicit and record shareholder votes with regards to the special shareholders meeting of [NAME OF FUND] scheduled for [shareholder meeting date]. Have you received the email regarding the meeting? [If the shareholder meeting has been adjourned: The original shareholder meeting scheduled for [original shareholder meeting date] has been adjourned until [adjourned shareholder meeting date] due to a lack of shareholder participation.]

 

IF NO Then help the shareholder obtain the material he/she requires. If a NOBO, give him/her the 800# and have them call back when they receive. 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 funds Board of Trustees is asking you to consider [#] proposal[s] which they have studied carefully and they recommend that you vote in favor of proposal[s] [#] [and against proposal[s] [#]]. For your convenience I can record your vote over the telephone. Otherwise since you received your proxy material electronically you can vote via internet or touch-tone telephone as indicated in the email you received. Would you like me to record your vote over the telephone right now?

 

 

IF YES - Do you have any questions before we proceed?

If shareholder asks how to vote via the internet the website (or link to vote) is located in the email he/she received that contained the proxy material; the shareholder will need the control number from his/her email in order to vote.

If shareholder asks how to vote via touch-tone telephone, the telephone number is located in the email he/she received that contained the proxy material- he/she will need the control number from his/her email in order to vote.

Take time to answer all questions carefully. Do not give advice. Remind the shareholder that his/her Board Members have recommended that he/she vote in favor of proposal[s] [#] [and against proposal[s] [#]]. Most questions can be addressed by referring to the Q&A that accompanied the proxy statement or, if more detail is required, and by reading the appropriate sections in the proxy statement (including, with respect to any shareholder proposal, the “Statement of Opposition” that follows the proposal).


Here is how we will proceed. The call will be recorded. I will ask you for two pieces of information for verification: your name and your address. Finally, I will confirm that you have received the proxy materials and take your vote. You will be mailed a letter confirming your vote, which will tell you how to make any changes, if you wish to do so. Do you feel comfortable with this process?

 


IF NO Do you have any questions that I may answer about this proxy for you?
