SCHEDULED TO BE HELD ON JULY 14, 2020

NEW YORK – (BUSINESS WIRE) – June 26, 2020. Each of the funds listed on Appendix A (each, a "Fund", and, together, the "Funds") announced today that, due to the public health impact of the coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and to support the health and safety of Fund shareholders, the location of the Special Meeting of Shareholders of each Fund, which are being held together for convenience, (the "Meeting") has been changed. As previously announced, each Fund's Meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 14, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time). In light of public health concerns regarding COVID-19, the Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only. The Meeting will be accessible solely by means of remote communication.

As described in the proxy materials for the Meeting previously distributed, the Board of Directors/Trustees has fixed the close of business on April 15, 2020 as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof. The Meeting will be held at the following Meeting website: http://www.meetingcenter.io/249604861. To participate in the Meeting, shareholders of each Fund must enter the following password: LMOE2020. Shareholders must also enter the control number found on their proxy card previously received. Shareholders may vote during the Meeting by following the instructions available on the Meeting website during the Meeting.

We encourage shareholders to access the Meeting website prior to the start time to allow ample time to log into the Meeting webcast and test their computer system. Accordingly, the Meeting website will become accessible to shareholders beginning at approximately 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on July 13, 2020. For questions relating to participation at the Meeting by remote communication, please call the Computershare technical support number at (888) 888-0151.

If shares are held through an intermediary, such as a bank or broker, shareholders must register in advance to attend the Meeting.
