T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Bond Fund
On or around September 27, 2024, the T. Rowe Price Institutional Emerging Markets Bond Fund (“Institutional Fund”) is expected to reorganize into the I Class of the T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Bond Fund (“Fund”). In order to ensure that Institutional Fund shareholders will not pay more in fees than are payable under the current Institutional Fund’s fee structure, effective September 1, 2024, T. Rowe Price has agreed to permanently limit the overall management fees that may be paid to T. Rowe Price by the Fund to the current management fee rate of the Institutional Fund (0.70% based on the Fund’s average daily net assets) and to permanently reduce the Fund’s I Class operating expense limitation to 0.00%.
Accordingly, effective September 1, 2024, the fee table and expense example in the Fund’s Summary Prospectus and Section 1 of the Fund’s Prospectus are revised as follows:
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the fund. You may also incur brokerage commissions and other charges when buying or selling shares of the fund, which are not reflected in the table or example below.

The agreement may only be terminated with approval by the fund’s Board of Directors and shareholders. | ||||||||

d | T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., has contractually agreed (through April 30, 2026) to waive its fees and/or bear any expenses (excluding interest; expenses related to borrowings, taxes, and brokerage; nonrecurring, extraordinary expenses; and acquired fund fees and expenses) that would cause the class’ ratio of expenses to average daily net assets to exceed 1.15%. The agreement may only be terminated at any time after April 30, 2026, with approval by the fund’s Board of Directors. Fees waived and expenses paid under this agreement (and any applicable prior limitations) are subject to reimbursement to T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., by the class whenever the class’ expense ratio is below 1.15%. However, the class will not reimburse T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., more than three years from the date such amounts were initially waived or paid. The class may only reimburse T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., if the reimbursement does not cause the class’ expense ratio (after the reimbursement is taken into account) to exceed the class’ current expense limitation (or the expense limitation in place at the time the amounts were waived or paid). |
e | T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., has contractually agreed to waive and/or bear all the Z Class’ expenses (excluding interest; expenses related to borrowings, taxes, and brokerage; nonrecurring, extraordinary expenses; and acquired fund fees and expenses) in their entirety. T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., expects this fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangement to remain in place indefinitely, and the agreement may only be amended or terminated with approval by the fund’s Board of Directors. |
