Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

As you may know, American Funds recently announced plans to introduce a series of eight funds, American Funds Portfolio Series.  Each fund in American Funds Portfolio Series will seek its investment objective by investing in a combination of American Funds.  American Funds Portfolio Series will be available for sale to the public beginning May 18, 2012.

 

The purpose of this notice is to amend your Class F Share Participation Agreement (the “Agreement”) with American Funds Distributors, Inc. to reflect the addition of American Funds Portfolio Series.

 

In consideration of the foregoing, the Agreement is amended as follows, effective May 18, 2012:

 

 

1.   The list of funds on Schedule A to the Agreement is replaced in its entirety by the new list of funds attached hereto.

 

 

*           *           *           *           *

 

 

The Agreement remains unchanged in all other respects.  You need not sign this amendment; any order for fund shares received by us beginning May 18, 2012 shall be deemed an acceptance of this amendment to your Agreement.  Of course, even if your Agreement is automatically amended to reflect these new terms, you are not obligated to sell the new funds.
