On October 18, 2018, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, an indirect corporate parent of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries OFI Global Asset Management, Inc., OFI SteelPath, Inc. and OFI Advisors, LLC, announced that it has entered into an agreement whereby Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”), a global investment management company, will acquire OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Transaction”). In connection with the Transaction, on January 11, 2019, the Board of Trustees of each trust (each, a “Trust”) governing the Trust’s respective Fund(s) unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”), which provides for the transfer of the assets and liabilities of each Fund to a corresponding, newly formed fund (each, an “Acquiring Fund,” and collectively the “Acquiring Funds”) in the Invesco family of funds (the “Reorganization”) in exchange for shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund of equal value to the value of the shares of the respective Fund as of the close of business on the closing date, and with respect to those Funds that are exchange-traded funds (an “ETF”), shares of corresponding Acquired Fund (and cash with respect to any fractional shares) of equal value to the value of the respective Fund as of the close of business on the closing date. Although each Acquiring Fund will be managed by either Invesco Advisers, Inc. (for those Acquiring Funds that are not ETFs) or Invesco Capital Management, LLC (for those Acquiring Funds that are ETFs), each Acquiring Fund will, as of the closing date, have the same investment objective (or in the case of the Acquiring Funds that are ETFs a substantially similar investment objective) and substantially similar principal investment strategies and risks as the corresponding Fund. After each Reorganization, Invesco Advisers, Inc. will be the investment adviser to each Acquiring Fund that is a mutual fund, and Invesco Capital Management, LLC will be the investment adviser to each Acquiring Fund that is an ETF, and each Fund will be liquidated and dissolved under applicable law and terminate its registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Each Reorganization is expected to be a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Each Reorganization is subject to the approval of shareholders of each Fund. Shareholders of record of each Fund on January 14, 2019 will be entitled to vote on the Reorganization and will receive a combined prospectus and proxy statement describing the Reorganization, the shareholder meeting, and a discussion of the factors the Trusts’ Boards of Trustees considered in approving the Agreement. The combined prospectus and proxy statement is expected to be distributed to shareholders of record on or about February 28, 2019. The anticipated date of the shareholder meeting is on or about April 12, 2019.
If shareholders approve the Agreement and certain other closing conditions are satisfied or waived, each Reorganization is expected to close during the second quarter of 2019, or as soon as practicable thereafter. This is subject to change.
Upon shareholder approval of each Reorganization, it is anticipated that each applicable Fund that is a mutual fund will close to new investors as soon as practicable following shareholder approval through the consummation of the Reorganization in order to facilitate a smooth transition of the Fund’s shareholders to the corresponding Acquiring Fund. For an investor in a non-ETF Fund who is invested in such a Fund as of the date on which the Fund closed to new investors and remain invested in the Fund may continue to make additional investments in their existing accounts and may open new accounts in their name. It is anticipated that each Fund that is an ETF will continue to trade on its listing exchange until its date of Reorganization, after which the shares of the respective Acquiring Fund will trade on the same exchange under the same ticker symbol.
