The next shareholder meetings are scheduled for July 29, 2020 at 4:30 p.m., Eastern Time, to allow us to solicit additional shareholder votes. In the interim, our proxy solicitors regrettably must continue the telephone calls and mailings to shareholders of the 25 funds who still have not voted.

Please understand that these are not routine proxy votes. While we recognize this process has been challenging to you, and to your investor clients, we again ask for your help in achieving the high level of voter participation required by federal law.
