In addition, the following footnote is removed from Mr. Cains name where it appears in such tables: Mr. Cain is deemed an interested person of Natixis Funds Trust II because he holds the following position with a firm that has a material business or professional relationship with McDonnell Investment Management, LLC, the subadviser to a series of Natixis Funds Trust II: Chairman, Cain Brothers & Company, Incorporated.
Effective immediately, the first paragraph in the sub-section Leadership and Structure of the Board within the section Management of the Trust(s) is hereby replaced with the following:
The Board is led by the Chairperson of the Board, who is an Independent Trustee. The Board of Trustees currently consists of thirteen trustees, ten of whom are Independent Trustees. The trustees have delegated significant oversight authority to the two standing committees of each Trust, the Audit Committee and Contract Review and Governance Committee, both of which consist solely of Independent Trustees. These committees meet separately and at times jointly, with the joint meetings intended to educate and involve all Independent Trustees in significant committee-level topics. As well as handling matters directly, the committees raise matters to the Board for consideration. In addition to the oversight performed by the committees and the Board, the Chairperson of the Board and the chairpersons of each committee interact frequently with management regarding topics to be considered at Board and committee meetings as well as items arising between meetings. At least once a year the Board reviews its governance structure. The Board believes its leadership structure is appropriate and effective in that it allows for oversight at the committee or board level, as the case may be, while facilitating communications among the trustees and between the Board and Fund management.
