You should have recently received a package containing a Joint Proxy Statement and other materials relating to a special meeting of your Legg Mason-affiliated mutual fund.

 

It has come to our attention that, due to a printing error, certain portions of the chart appearing on pages 3 to 7 of the Joint Proxy Statement that you received may have been faded or illegible. Therefore, an additional copy of that chart is enclosed.

 

The printing error did not affect other portions of the Joint Proxy Statement or the proxy card that you received. However, if you wish to receive an additional copy of any proxy materials (including the Joint Proxy Statement), or if you have any questions concerning this matter or concerning voting, please call Computershare Fund Services, the funds’ proxy solicitor, at (866) 402-1719.
