Funds of Fidelity Advisor Series II and Fidelity Income Fund

Dear Shareholder:

A special meeting of shareholders of the Fidelity funds mentioned above will be held on April 13, 2016. The purpose of the meeting is to provide you with the opportunity to vote on important proposals that affect the funds and your investment in them. As a shareholder, you have the opportunity to voice your opinion on matters that affect your funds. This package contains information about the proposals and the materials to use when casting your vote.

Please read the enclosed materials and cast your vote on the proxy card(s). Please vote your shares promptly. Your vote is extremely important, no matter how large or small your holdings may be.

Each of the proposals has been carefully reviewed by the Board of Trustees. The Trustees, most of whom are not affiliated with Fidelity, are responsible for protecting your interests as a shareholder. The Trustees believe that one of the proposals is in the best interests of shareholders – the proposal to elect a Board of Trustees (for all funds). They recommend that you vote for the proposal. They recommend that you vote against the proposal submitted by shareholders of Fidelity Advisor® Mortgage Securities Fund, Fidelity® GNMA Fund, and Fidelity® Intermediate Government Income Fund (for shareholders of these funds only).

The following Q&A is provided to assist you in understanding the proposals. Each of the proposals is described in greater detail in the enclosed proxy statement.

Voting is quick and easy. Everything you need is enclosed. To cast your vote, simply complete the proxy card(s) enclosed in this package. Be sure to sign the card(s) before mailing them in the postage-paid envelope. You may also vote your shares by touch-tone telephone or through the Internet. Simply call the toll-free number or visit the web site indicated on your proxy card(s), enter the control number found on the card(s), and follow the recorded or on-line instructions.

If you have any questions before you vote, please call Fidelity using the contact information applicable to your funds located in the table in the enclosed Q&A. We’ll be glad to help you get your vote in quickly. Thank you for your participation in this important initiative.

Sincerely,

Chairman


Important information to help you understand and vote on the proposals

Please read the full text of the proxy statement. Below is a brief overview of the proposals to be voted upon. Your vote is important. We appreciate you placing your trust in Fidelity and look forward to helping you achieve your financial goals.

What proposals am I being asked to vote on?

You are being asked to vote on the following proposals, depending on the funds in which you invest:

 

1.   For each fund, to elect a Board of Trustees. You are being asked to elect a Board of Trustees to oversee your fund. The Board of Trustees recommends a vote “for” the proposal.

 

2.   For Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund, Fidelity GNMA Fund, and Fidelity Intermediate Government Income Fund only, a shareholder proposal requesting that the Board of Trustees institute procedures to prevent holding investments in companies that, in management’s judgment, substantially contribute to genocide or crimes against humanity. Certain shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund, Fidelity GNMA Fund, and Fidelity Intermediate Government Income Fund have advised the Funds that they intend to present the shareholder proposal at the Meeting. For the reasons set forth after the proposal, the Board of Trustees recommends a vote “AGAINST” the proposal.

What role does the Board play?

The Trustees serve as the fund shareholders’ representatives. Members of the Board are fiduciaries and have an obligation to serve the best interests of shareholders. The Trustees review fund performance, oversee fund activities, consider fund policy changes, and review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the funds.

What is the affiliation of the Board and Fidelity?

The purpose of the Board is to ensure that shareholders’ best interests are protected in the operation of a mutual fund. The proxy statement describes the composition of each trust’s board, including those trustees who are “interested” and those who are “independent.” Trustees are determined to be “interested” by virtue of, among other things, their affiliation with the funds, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), or other entities under common control with FMR. Interested Trustees are compensated by FMR. Independent Trustees have no affiliation with FMR and are compensated by each individual fund.

Are Board members paid?

Each Independent Trustee receives a fee for his or her service on the Board. You can find the compensation table, which details these fees, in the proxy statement.

Who is D.F. King & Co., Inc.?

D.F. King is a third party proxy vendor that Fidelity has hired to call shareholders and record proxy votes. In order to hold a shareholder meeting, quorum must be reached. If quorum is not


attained, the meeting may adjourn to a future date. Fidelity attempts to reach shareholders via multiple mailings to remind them to cast their vote. As the meeting approaches, phone calls may be made to shareholders who have not yet voted their shares so that the shareholder meeting does not have to be postponed.

Voting your shares immediately will help minimize additional solicitation expenses and prevent the need to make a call to you to solicit your vote.

How many votes am I entitled to cast?

As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value you own of each of the funds on the record date. The record date is February 16, 2016.

How do I vote my shares?

You can vote your shares by completing and signing the enclosed proxy card(s) and mailing them in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. You may also vote by touch-tone telephone by calling the toll-free number printed on your proxy card(s) and following the recorded instructions. In addition, you may vote through the internet by visiting the web site indicated on your proxy card and following the on-line instructions. If you need any assistance, or have any questions regarding the proposal or how to vote your shares, please call Fidelity. Please see the contact information located in the table below for each fund and class, as applicable.

The purpose of the Meeting is set forth in the accompanying Notice. The solicitation is being made primarily by the mailing of this Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card on or about February 29, 2016. Supplementary solicitations may be made by mail, telephone, facsimile, electronic means or by personal interview by representatives of the trust. In addition, D.F. King & Co., Inc. (D.F.

King may be paid on a per-call basis for vote-by-phone solicitations on behalf of the funds. The approximate anticipated total cost of these services is detailed in Appendix C.

If the funds record votes by telephone or through the internet, they will use procedures designed to authenticate shareholders’ identities, to allow shareholders to authorize the voting of their shares in accordance with their instructions, and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded. Proxies voted by telephone or through the internet may be revoked at any time before they are voted at the Meeting.

Appendix B lists each fund’s investment adviser and its principal business address, as well as each fund’s auditor and fiscal year end. Each fund’s sub-adviser and each sub-adviser’s principal business address is included in Appendix D. The principal business address of Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), each fund’s principal underwriter and distribution agent, is 100 Salem Street, Smithfield, Rhode Island 02917.

 


Unless otherwise indicated in Appendix B, (i) the expenses in connection with preparing this Proxy Statement, its enclosures, and all solicitations and (ii) the expenses associated with reimbursing brokerage firms and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation material to the beneficial owners of shares, will be borne by each fund and class, as applicable, provided that the expenses do not exceed any existing expense caps. See Appendix E for current expense cap information. Expenses exceeding an expense cap will be paid by the fund’s investment adviser.

For funds whose management contract with the investment adviser obligates the investment adviser to pay certain fund level expenses, the expenses in connection with preparing this Proxy Statement and its enclosures and all solicitations will be borne by the investment adviser, as listed in Appendix B. The investment adviser will reimburse brokerage firms and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation material to the beneficial owners of shares.

If the enclosed proxy is executed and returned, or an internet or telephonic vote is delivered, that vote may nevertheless be revoked at any time prior to its use by written notification received by the trust, by the execution of a later-dated proxy, by the trust’s receipt of a subsequent valid internet or telephonic vote, or by attending the Meeting and voting in person.

All proxies solicited by the Board of Trustees that are properly executed and received by the Secretary prior to the Meeting, and are not revoked, will be voted at the Meeting. Shares represented by such proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon. If no specification is made on a properly executed proxy, it will be voted FOR the matters specified on the proxy. All shares that are voted and votes to ABSTAIN will be counted towards establishing a quorum, as will broker non-votes. (Broker non-votes are shares for which (i) the beneficial owner has not voted and (ii) the broker holding the shares does not have discretionary authority to vote on the particular matter.)

With respect to fund shares held in Fidelity individual retirement accounts (including Traditional, Rollover, SEP, SARSEP, Roth and SIMPLE IRAs), the IRA Custodian will vote those shares for which it has received instructions from shareholders only in accordance with such instructions. If Fidelity IRA shareholders do not vote their shares, the IRA Custodian will vote their shares for them, in the same proportion as other Fidelity IRA shareholders have voted.

One-third of each trust’s outstanding voting securities entitled to vote constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting. If a quorum is not present at the Meeting, or if a quorum is present at the Meeting but sufficient votes to approve the proposed item are not received, or if other matters arise requiring shareholder attention, the persons named as proxy agents may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares present at the Meeting or represented by proxy. When voting on a proposed adjournment, the persons named as proxy agents will vote FOR the proposed adjournment all shares that they are entitled to vote with respect to the item, unless directed to vote AGAINST the item, in which case such shares will be

voted AGAINST the proposed adjournment with respect to that item. A shareholder vote may be taken on any item in this Proxy Statement prior to such adjournment if sufficient votes have been received and it is otherwise appropriate.

Although the terms of the plans and agreements vary, generally the shares must be voted either (i) in accordance with instructions received from shareholders or (ii) in accordance with instructions received from shareholders and, for shareholders who do not vote, in the same proportion as certain other shareholders have voted.

To the knowledge of the trusts, except for the shares of Fidelity Income Replacement 2020 Fund held by FMR LLC discussed in the previous sentence, the nominees, Trustees and officers of the fund owned, in the aggregate, less than 1% of the fund’s outstanding shares as of December 31, 2015.

During the period August 1, 2014 through January 31, 2016, no transactions were entered into by Trustees and nominees as Trustee of the trust involving more than 1% of the voting common, non-voting common and equivalent stock, or preferred stock of FMR LLC.

If elected, the Trustees will hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. In case a vacancy shall for any reason exist, the remaining Trustees will fill such vacancy by appointing another Trustee, so long as, immediately after such appointment, at least two-thirds of the Trustees have been elected by shareholders. If, at any time, less than a majority of the Trustees holding office has been elected by the shareholders, the Trustees then in office will promptly call a shareholders’ meeting for the purpose of electing a Board of Trustees. Otherwise, there will normally be no meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees.

Appendix H shows the composition of the Board of Trustees of each Trust and the length of service of each Trustee (see Appendix B for a list of each fund’s fiscal year end and Appendix I for the number of Board meetings held during each fund’s last fiscal year end). Following the election, it is expected each fund’s Board will include two interested Trustees and eight Independent Trustees, and will meet at least six times a year at regularly scheduled meetings. For additional information about the committees of the funds’ Trustees, refer to the section entitled “Board Structure and Oversight Function and Standing Committees of the Trust’s Current Trustees.”

The dollar range of equity securities beneficially owned as of December 31, 2015 by each Trustee in each fund and in all funds in the aggregate within the same fund family overseen or to be overseen by the nominee is included in Appendix J.

Trustee compensation information for each fund of the current Board is included in Appendix K.

BOARD STRUCTURE AND OVERSIGHT FUNCTION AND STANDING COMMITTEES OF THE TRUST’S CURRENT TRUSTEES

Correspondence intended for each Independent Trustee may be sent to the attention of the individual Trustee or to the Board of Trustees at Fidelity Investments, P.O. Box 55235, Boston, Massachusetts 02205-5235. Correspondence intended for each interested Trustee may be sent to the attention of the individual Trustee or to the Board of Trustees at Fidelity Investments, 245 Summer Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02210. The current process for collecting and organizing shareholder communications requires that the Board of Trustees receive copies of all communications addressed to it. All

 

8


communications addressed to the Board of Trustees or any individual Trustee are logged and sent to the Board or individual Trustee, respectively. The funds do not hold annual shareholder meetings and therefore do not have a policy with regard to Trustees’ attendance at such meetings. However, as a matter of practice, at least one Trustee attends special meetings.

Abigail P. Johnson is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the funds. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Marie L. Knowles serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The funds’ Board oversees Fidelity’s investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity’s high income, sector and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds that are overseen by such other Boards. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, each fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the funds’ activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged the adviser, FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the funds’ business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the funds are carried out by or through the adviser, FMR and its affiliates, and other service providers, the funds’ exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of

 

9


the Board’s committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the funds’ activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees. In addition, an ad hoc Board committee of Independent Trustees has worked with FMR to enhance the Board’s oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. The Operations Committee also worked and continues to work with FMR and its affiliates to enhance the stress tests required under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations for money market funds. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the funds’ Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR’s internal auditor, the independent accountants, the funds’ Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board’s committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity’s risk management program for the Fidelity funds.

The Board of Trustees has established various committees to support the Independent Trustees in acting independently in pursuing the best interests of the funds and their shareholders. Currently, the Board of Trustees has four standing committees. The members of each committee are Independent Trustees. See Appendix I for the number of meetings each standing committee held during each fund’s last fiscal year.

The Operations Committee is composed of all of the Independent Trustees, with Ms. Knowles currently serving as Chair. The committee normally meets at least six times a year, or more frequently as called by the Chair, and serves as a forum for consideration of issues of importance to, or calling for particular determinations by, the Independent Trustees. The committee considers matters involving potential conflicts of interest between the funds and the adviser and between the funds and FMR and its affiliates and reviews proposed contracts and the proposed continuation of contracts between the funds and the adviser and between the funds and FMR and its affiliates, and annually reviews and makes recommendations regarding contracts with third parties unaffiliated with the adviser or FMR, including insurance coverage and custody agreements. The committee has oversight of compliance issues not specifically within the scope of any other committee. These matters include, but are not limited to, significant non-conformance with contract requirements and other significant regulatory matters and recommending to the Board of Trustees the designation of a person to serve as the funds’ CCO. The committee (i) serves as the primary point of contact for the CCO with regard to Board-related functions; (ii) oversees the annual performance review of the CCO; (iii) makes recommendations concerning the CCO’s compensation; and (iv) makes recommendations as needed in respect of the removal of the CCO. The committee is also responsible for definitive action on all compliance matters involving the potential for significant reimbursement by FMR.

The Audit Committee is composed of all of the Independent Trustees, with Ms. Acton serving as Chair for each series of Fidelity Income Fund. Mr. Keyes serves as Chair for each series of Fidelity Advisor Series II. At least one committee member will be an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC. The committee normally meets four times a year, or more frequently as called by the Chair or a majority of committee

 

10


members. The committee meets separately, at least annually, with the funds’ Treasurer, with the funds’ Chief Financial Officer, with personnel responsible for the internal audit function of FMR LLC, with the funds’ outside auditors, and with the funds’ Chief Compliance Officer. The committee has direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the outside auditors employed by the funds. The committee assists the Trustees in overseeing and monitoring: (i) the systems of internal accounting and financial controls of the funds and the funds’ service providers (to the extent such controls impact the funds’ financial statements); (ii) the funds’ auditors and the annual audits of the funds’ financial statements; (iii) the financial reporting processes of the funds; (iv) whistleblower reports; and (v) the accounting policies and disclosures of the funds. The committee considers and acts upon (i) the provision by any outside auditor of any non-audit services for any fund, and (ii) the provision by any outside auditor of certain non-audit services to fund service providers and their affiliates to the extent that such approval (in the case of this clause (ii)) is required under applicable regulations of the SEC. It is responsible for approving all audit engagement fees and terms for the funds and for resolving disagreements between a fund and any outside auditor regarding any fund’s financial reporting. Auditors of the funds report directly to the committee. The committee will obtain assurance of independence and objectivity from the outside auditors, including a formal written statement delineating all relationships between the auditor and the funds and any service providers consistent with the rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The committee will receive reports of compliance with provisions of the auditor independence regulations relating to the hiring of employees or former employees of the outside auditors. It oversees and receives reports on the funds’ service providers’ internal controls and reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the service providers’ accounting and financial controls, including: (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the funds’ ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data; (ii) any change in the fund’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the fund’s internal control over financial reporting; and (iii) any fraud, whether material or not, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the funds’ or service providers internal controls over financial reporting. The committee will also review any correspondence with regulators or governmental agencies or published reports that raise material issues regarding the funds’ financial statements or accounting policies. These matters may also be reviewed by the Operations Committee. The committee reviews at least annually a report from each outside auditor describing any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality control, peer review, or Public Company Accounting Oversight Board examination of the auditing firm and any material issues raised by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities of the auditing firm and in each case any steps taken to deal with such issues. The committee will oversee and receive reports on the funds’ financial reporting process from the funds’ Treasurer and outside auditors and will oversee the resolution of any disagreements concerning financial reporting among applicable parties. The committee will discuss with FMR, the funds’ Treasurer, outside auditors and, if appropriate, internal audit personnel of FMR LLC their qualitative judgments about the

 

11


appropriateness and acceptability of accounting principles and financial disclosure practices used or proposed for adoption by the funds. The committee will review with FMR, the funds’ outside auditor, internal audit personnel of FMR LLC and legal counsel, as appropriate, matters related to the audits of the funds’ financial statements. The committee will discuss regularly and oversee the review of the internal controls of the funds and their service providers with respect to accounting, financial matters and risk management programs related to the funds. The committee will review periodically the funds’ major internal controls exposures and the steps that have been taken to monitor and control such exposures.

The Fair Valuation Committee is composed of all of the Independent Trustees, with Mr. Johnson currently serving as Chair. The Committee normally meets quarterly, or more frequently as called by the Chair. The Fair Valuation Committee reviews and approves annually Fair Value Committee Policies recommended by the FMR Fair Value Committee and oversees particular valuations or fair valuation methodologies employed by the FMR Fair Value Committee as circumstances may require. The Committee also reviews actions taken by the FMR Fair Value Committee. The Committee does not oversee the day-to-day operational aspects of the valuation and calculation of the net asset value of the funds, which have been delegated to the FMR Fair Value Committee and Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC).

The Governance and Nominating Committee is composed of Ms. Knowles (Chair) and Messrs. Johnson (Vice Chair) and Kenneally. The committee meets as called by the Chair. With respect to fund governance and board administration matters, the committee periodically reviews procedures of the Board of Trustees and its committees (including committee charters) and periodically reviews compensation of Independent Trustees. The committee monitors corporate governance matters and makes recommendations to the Board of Trustees on the frequency and structure of the Board of Trustee meetings and on any other aspect of Board procedures. It acts as the administrative committee under the retirement plan for Independent Trustees who retired prior to December 30, 1996 and under the fee deferral plan for Independent Trustees. It reviews the performance of legal counsel employed by the funds and the Independent Trustees. On behalf of the Independent Trustees, the committee will make such findings and determinations as to the independence of counsel for the Independent Trustees as may be necessary or appropriate under applicable regulations or otherwise. The committee is also responsible for Board administrative matters applicable to Independent Trustees, such as expense reimbursement policies and compensation for attendance at meetings, conferences and other events. The committee monitors compliance with, acts as the administrator of, and makes determinations in respect of, the provisions of the code of ethics and any supplemental policies regarding personal securities transactions applicable to the Independent Trustees. The committee monitors the functioning of each Board committee and makes recommendations for any changes, including the creation or elimination of standing or ad hoc Board committees. The committee monitors regulatory and other developments to determine whether to recommend modifications to the committee’s responsibilities or other Trustee policies and procedures in light of rule changes, reports concerning “best practices” in corporate governance and other

 

12


developments in mutual fund governance. The committee meets with Independent Trustees at least once a year to discuss matters relating to fund governance. The committee recommends that the Board establish such special or ad hoc Board committees as may be desirable or necessary from time to time in order to address ethical, legal, or other matters that may arise. The committee also oversees the annual self-evaluation of the Board of Trustees and establishes procedures to allow it to exercise this oversight function. In conducting this oversight, the committee shall address all matters that it considers relevant to the performance of the Board of Trustees and shall report the results of its evaluation to the Board of Trustees, including any recommended amendments to the principles of governance, and any recommended changes to the funds’ or the Board of Trustees’ policies, procedures, and structures. The committee reviews periodically the size and composition of the Board of Trustees as a whole and recommends, if necessary, measures to be taken so that the Board of Trustees reflects the appropriate balance of knowledge, experience, skills, expertise, and diversity required for the Board as a whole and contains at least the minimum number of Independent Trustees required by law. The committee makes nominations for the election or appointment of Independent Trustees and non-management Members of any Advisory Board, and for membership on committees. The committee has the authority to retain and terminate any third-party advisers, including authority to approve fees and other retention terms. Such advisers may include search firms to identify Independent Trustee candidates and board compensation consultants. The committee may conduct or authorize investigations into or studies of matters within the committee’s scope of responsibilities, and may retain, at the funds’ expense, such independent counsel or other advisers as it deems necessary. The committee will consider nominees to the Board of Trustees recommended by shareholders based upon the criteria applied to candidates presented to the committee by a search firm or other source. Recommendations, along with appropriate background material concerning the candidate that demonstrates his or her ability to serve as an Independent Trustee of the funds, should be submitted to the Chair of the committee at the address maintained for communications with Independent Trustees. If the committee retains a search firm, the Chair will generally forward all such submissions to the search firm for evaluation. With respect to the criteria for selecting Independent Trustees, it is expected that all candidates will possess the following minimum qualifications: (i) unquestioned personal integrity; (ii) not an interested person of the funds within the meaning of the 1940 Act; (iii) does not have a material relationship (e.g., commercial, banking, consulting, legal, or accounting) with the adviser, any sub-adviser or their affiliates that could create an appearance of lack of independence in respect of the funds; (iv) has the disposition to act independently in respect of the adviser, FMR and their respective affiliates and others in order to protect the interests of the funds and all shareholders; (v) ability to attend regularly scheduled Board meetings during the year; (vi) demonstrates sound business judgment gained through broad experience in significant positions where the candidate has dealt with management, technical, financial, or regulatory issues; (vii) sufficient financial or accounting knowledge to add value in the complex financial environment of the funds; (viii) experience on corporate or other institutional oversight bodies having similar responsibilities, but which board memberships or other relationships could not

 

13


result in business or regulatory conflicts with the funds; and (ix) capacity for the hard work and attention to detail that is required to be an effective Independent Trustee in light of the funds’ complex regulatory, operational, and marketing setting. The Governance and Nominating Committee may determine that a candidate who does not have the type of previous experience or knowledge referred to above should nevertheless be considered as a nominee if the Governance and Nominating Committee finds that the candidate has additional qualifications such that his or her qualifications, taken as a whole, demonstrate the same level of fitness to serve as an Independent Trustee. A current copy of the Governance and Nominating Committee Charter is available at http://www.fidelity.com and is attached as Exhibit 1.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS

The firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) or Deloitte & Touche LLP, the member firms of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, and their respective affiliates (collectively, “Deloitte Entities”), have been selected as the independent registered public accounting firms for each fund, as indicated in Appendix B. PwC and Deloitte Entities, in accordance with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board rules, have confirmed to each trust’s Audit Committee that they are the independent registered public accounting firms with respect to the funds.

The independent registered public accounting firms examine annual financial statements for the funds and provide other audit-related, non-audit, and tax-related services to the funds. Representatives of PwC and Deloitte Entities are not expected to be present at the Meeting, but have been given the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available should any matter arise requiring their presence.

Each trust’s Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the applicable independent registered public accounting firm relating to the operations or financial reporting of the funds. Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.

Each trust’s Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the Committee’s consideration of non-audit services by the audit firms that audit the Fidelity funds. The policies and procedures require that any non-audit service provided by a fund audit firm to each trust and any non-audit service provided by a fund auditor to the investment adviser, as indicated in Appendix B, and entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) that provide ongoing services to the funds (“Fund Service Providers”) that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of each trust (“Covered Service”) are subject to approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided. All Covered Services must be approved in advance of provision of the service either: (i) by formal resolution of the Audit Committee; or (ii) by oral or written approval of the service by the Chair of the Audit Committee (or if the Chair is unavailable, such other member of the Audit Committee as may be

 

14


designated by the Chair to act in the Chair’s absence). The approval contemplated by (ii) above is permitted where the Treasurer determines that action on such an engagement is necessary before the next meeting of the Audit Committee.

Non-audit services provided by a fund audit firm to a Fund Service Provider that do not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of each trust (“Non-Covered Service”) are reported to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis.

Each trust’s Audit Committee has considered non-audit services that were not pre-approved and that were provided by PwC and Deloitte Entities to Fund Service Providers to be compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC and Deloitte Entities in their audit of the funds taking into account representations from PwC and Deloitte Entities, in accordance with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board rules, regarding their independence from the funds and their related entities and FMR’s review of the appropriateness and permissibility under applicable law of such non-audit services prior to their provision to the Fund Service Providers.

Fees and Services

Appendix L presents fees billed by PwC and Deloitte Entities in each of the last two fiscal years for services rendered to the funds.

Appendix M presents fees billed by PwC and Deloitte Entities that were required to be approved by each trust’s Audit Committee for services that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the funds and that are rendered on behalf of Fund Service Providers.

Appendix N presents the aggregate non-audit fees billed by PwC and Deloitte Entities for services rendered to the funds and any Fund Service Provider for each of the last two fiscal years of the funds.

There were no non-audit services approved or required to be approved by each trust’s Audit Committee pursuant to the “de minimis” exception during the funds’ last two fiscal years relating to services provided to (i) the funds or (ii) any Fund Service Provider that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the funds.

PROPOSAL 2

(FIDELITY ADVISOR® MORTGAGE SECURITIES FUND, FIDELITY® GNMA FUND, AND FIDELITY INTERMEDIATE GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND ONLY)

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL REQUESTING THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES INSTITUTE “PROCEDURES TO PREVENT HOLDING INVESTMENTS IN COMPANIES THAT, IN MANAGEMENT’S JUDGMENT, SUBSTANTIALLY CONTRIBUTE TO GENOCIDE OR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY”

Certain shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund, Fidelity GNMA Fund, and Fidelity Intermediate Government Income Fund (the “Funds”) have advised the Funds that they intend to present the following shareholder proposal at the Meeting. For the reasons set forth after the proposal, the Board of Trustees recommends a vote “AGAINST” the proposal. The Funds are not responsible for the contents of the proposal or the supporting statements. The Funds will provide the names, addresses, and shareholdings (to the Funds’ knowledge) of the proponents of a shareholder proposal upon written request sent to the Secretary of the Funds, attention “Fund Shareholder Meetings,” 245 Summer Street, Mailzone V10A, Boston, Massachusetts 02210, or by calling 1-617-563-9021.

For purposes of Proposal 2, the term “Adviser” refers to each Fund’s adviser as set forth in Appendix B.

Proposal

WHEREAS:

We believe that:

 

  1. Investors do not want their investments to help fund genocide.

 

  a) While reasonable people may disagree about socially responsible investing, few want their investments to help fund genocide.

 

  b) KRC Research’s 2010 study showed that 88% of respondents want their mutual funds to be genocide-free.

 

  c) Millions of Fidelity investors have voted for genocide-free investing proposals, submitted by supporters of Investors Against Genocide, despite active management opposition. As many as 29% of Fidelity shareholders voted in favor in 2013 and 31% in 2008.

 

  d) In 2012, a genocide-free investing proposal at an ING mutual fund passed decisively, 59.8% to 10.7% with 29.5% abstaining.

 

  2. The example of PetroChina shows that current policies do not adequately support genocide-free investing because Fidelity and the funds it manages:

 

  a) Are large and long-term investors of PetroChina. PetroChina, through its controlling shareholder, China National Petroleum Company, is Sudan’s largest business partner, thereby helping fund ongoing government-sponsored genocide and crimes against humanity.

 

20


  b) Unnecessarily expose shareholders to the significant financial, operational and reputational risks of the China National Petroleum group’s operations in areas affected by genocide and mass atrocities.

 

  c) Actively opposed earlier shareholder requests for genocide-free investing.

 

  d) Continued to buy shares of problem companies even after becoming aware of the investments’ connection to genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan.

 

  e) Claimed to have a policy addressing extreme human rights issues, but has taken no action to avoid problem investments.

 

  f) Made investments in PetroChina that, while legal, are inconsistent with U.S. sanctions explicitly prohibiting transactions relating to Sudan’s petroleum industry.

 

  3. Individuals, through ownership of shares of Fidelity funds, may inadvertently invest in companies that help support genocide. With no policy to prevent these investments, Fidelity may at any time add or increase holdings in problem companies.

 

  4. No sound reasons prevent having a genocide-free investing policy because:

 

  a) Ample alternative investments exist.

 

  b) Avoiding problem companies need not have a significant effect on investment performance, as shown in Gary Brinson’s classic asset allocation study.

 

  c) Only a handful of Fidelity’s U.S. funds would be affected, because most of Fidelity’s holdings of problem companies such as PetroChina are by Fidelity funds sold outside the U.S.

 

  d) Appropriate disclosure can address any legal concerns regarding the exclusion of problem companies.

 

  e) Management can easily obtain independent assessments to identify companies connected to genocide.

 

  f) Other large financial firms such as T. Rowe Price and TIAA-CREF have avoided investments connected to genocide by divesting problem companies such as PetroChina.

 

  5. Investor action can influence foreign governments, as in South Africa. Similar action on Talisman Energy helped end the conflict in South Sudan.

RESOLVED:

Shareholders request that the Board institute transparent procedures to avoid holding investments in companies that, in management’s judgment, substantially contribute to genocide or crimes against humanity, the most egregious violations of human rights. Such procedures may include time-limited engagement with problem companies if management believes that their behavior can be changed.

Statement of Opposition

The Adviser seeks to achieve the best investment results for each Fund consistent with the stated investment policies of the relevant Fund. In doing so, the Adviser is obligated to limit such Fund’s investments to holdings that are lawful under the laws of the United States. The Fidelity Funds’ Board of Trustees has procedures in place to review the Adviser’s performance as investment adviser to the Funds, including each Fund’s compliance with all applicable laws.

United States law prohibits investments in companies owned or controlled by the government of Sudan. The Adviser is committed to complying fully with these investment sanctions and any additional investment sanctions that the United States government might enact with respect to companies doing business in Sudan or any other country.

The Fidelity Funds’ Board of Trustees recognizes and respects that investors, including those investing in the Funds, have other investment opportunities open to them should they wish to avoid investments in certain companies or countries. Shareholders of the Funds, however, choose to invest based on the specific stated investment policies of the relevant Fund. If adopted, this proposal would limit investments by the Funds that would be lawful under the laws of the United States. For this reason, the Board of Trustees recommends that you vote AGAINST this proposal.

OTHER BUSINESS

The Board knows of no other business to be brought before the Meeting. However, if any other matters properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention that proxies that do not contain specific instructions to the contrary will be voted on such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons therein designated.

SUBMISSION OF CERTAIN SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

Each trust does not hold annual shareholder meetings. Shareholders wishing to submit proposals for inclusion in a proxy statement for a subsequent shareholder meeting should send their written proposals to the Secretary of the funds, attention “Fund Shareholder Meetings,” 245 Summer Street, Mailzone V10A, Boston, Massachusetts 02210. Proposals must be received a reasonable time before a fund begins to print and send its proxy materials to be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials for the meeting. Timely submission of a proposal does not, however, necessarily mean the proposal will be included. With respect to proposals submitted on an untimely basis and presented at a shareholder meeting, persons named as proxy agents will vote in their discretion.

NOTICE TO BANKS, BROKER-DEALERS AND VOTING TRUSTEES AND THEIR NOMINEES

Please advise the trust, in care of Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., 245 Summer Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02210, whether other persons are beneficial owners of shares for which proxies are being solicited and, if so, the number of copies of the Proxy Statement and Annual Reports you wish to receive in order to supply copies to the beneficial owners of the respective shares.

Governance And Nominating Committee Charter

I. Background

The investment companies managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company or its affiliates (collectively, “FMR”) or Geode Capital Management, LLC comprising the Fixed Income and Asset Allocation Funds of the Fidelity Funds are referred to as the “Funds”1; the Boards of Trustees of the Funds are referred to collectively as the “Board of Trustees” and the members are referred to as the “Trustees”; Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Funds are referred to as the “Independent Trustees”; and committees of the Boards of Trustees are referred to as “Board Committees.” The Board of Trustees, including at least a majority of the Independent Trustees, have adopted this Charter, which may from time to time be amended or supplemented by vote of Board of Trustees, including at least a majority of the Independent Trustees, upon the recommendation of the Governance and Nominating Committee.

II. Organization

This Section II describes the organization and governance functions of the Governance and Nominating Committee (the “Committee”).

A. Composition of the Committee

The Committee shall be comprised solely of Independent Trustees and will have not less than three members. The members of the Committee will be determined annually, other than the Chair of the Committee, by vote of the Independent Trustees upon the recommendation of the Committee.

B. Chair; Functions of the Chair

The Chair of the Committee (the “Chair”) shall be an Independent Trustee and shall serve as lead Independent Trustee. The Chair shall be elected by majority vote of the Independent Trustees, and shall serve for a term of three years, subject to extension on a year-to-year basis by vote of the Independent Trustees. In the absence of such Chair and any Vice Chair, a majority of the members of the Committee may designate an acting Chair of the Committee (who shall also in such circumstances be the acting lead Independent Trustee). Following the expiration of the Chair’s term, he or she shall retire from the Committee for at least one year.

The Chair shall have the following responsibilities:

(1) The Chair shall preside at all meetings of the Committee and shall be responsible for preparing meeting agendas. The Vice Chair, if any, or in such Vice Chair’s absence,

 

1  The term “Funds” includes the investment-grade bond funds, the money market funds, the asset allocation funds and certain equity funds. The term “Funds” does not include any fund not overseen by the Board of Trustees.

 

23


any designated acting or other lead Independent Trustee alternate will preside in the Committee Chair’s absence.

(2) The Chair shall serve as Chair of the Operations Committee.

(3) The Chair shall serve as the principal liaison between the Independent Trustees and the management of FMR.

(4) At meetings of the Operations Committee or the full Board of Trustees, the Chair will report on the Committee’s recommendations on applicable resolutions and on any important actions by or discussions at the Committee.

(5) The Chair may make temporary assignments of members and chairs of other Board Committees to fill vacancies or to provide for absences.

(6) The Chair will coordinate with counsel for the Funds and/or counsel to the Independent Trustees on matters requiring legal advice.

C. Meetings and Procedures of the Committee

(1) The Committee may determine its own rules of procedure, which shall be consistent with the Declaration of Trust of each Fund (or other charter document of the Fund), the Bylaws of such Fund and this Charter. The Committee shall meet at least four times annually or more frequently as circumstances require. The Chair or a majority of the members of the Committee may call a special meeting of the Committee.

(2) A majority of the members of the Committee, present in person or by means of a conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other, shall constitute a quorum. The Committee may take action by written consent if at least the number of Trustees required for approval of such action at a meeting of Trustees consent to the action in writing and the written consents are filed with the records of meetings of the Committee, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

(3) The Committee may form subcommittees for any purpose that the Committee deems appropriate and may delegate to such subcommittees such power and authority as the Committee deems appropriate. No subcommittee shall consist of fewer than two members. The Committee shall not delegate to a subcommittee any power or authority required by any law, regulation or listing standard to be exercised by the Committee or the Independent Trustees as a whole.

(4) The Committee may request that any trustees, officers or employees of a Fund, or other persons whose advice and counsel are sought by the Committee, attend any meeting of the Committee to provide such information as the Committee requests.

(5) The Committee shall keep written minutes of its meetings, which minutes shall be maintained with the books and records of each Fund and delivered to the Board of Trustees, including a description of all actions taken by the Committee.

 

24


D. Consultants; Investigations and Studies; Outside Advisers

The Committee shall have the authority to carry out its duties and responsibilities as set forth in this Charter. The Committee shall have authority to retain and terminate any third-party advisers, including authority to approve fees and other retention terms. Such advisers may include search firms to identify Independent Trustee candidates and board compensation consultants. The Committee may conduct or authorize investigations into or studies of matters within the Committee’s scope of responsibilities, and may retain, at the Funds’ expense, such independent counsel or other advisers as it deems necessary.

E. Particular Actions of the Committee

The Committee will:

(1) Periodically review Board and Committee procedures and Committee Charters.

(2) Periodically review Trustee compensation, and recommend any changes deemed by the Committee to be appropriate.

(3) Monitor corporate governance matters and make recommendations to the Board.

(4) Make recommendations on the frequency and structure of Board of Trustees meetings.

(5) Make recommendations concerning any other aspect of the procedures of the Board that the Committee considers warranted.

(6) Make recommendations as to the size and members, the chair, vice chair if any, of each standing or ad hoc Board Committee. The chair and, unless such Committee is not a committee comprised of all Independent Trustees, the members of each Board Committee will be as determined by majority vote of the Independent Trustees upon the recommendation of the Committee. It is anticipated that members and chairs of any Committee will be designated annually (other than the Chairs of the Board Committees), with the chairs periodically rotated to give Independent Trustees the opportunity to broaden their experience. Rotation will be accomplished in a manner that provides reasonable continuity of membership.

(7) Review the annual calendar of Board Committee meetings and the schedule for consideration of routine or recurring matters.

(8) Make recommendations on the requirements for, and means of, Board of Trustees orientation and training.

(9) Act as administrative committee under the Funds’ fee deferral plan for Independent Trustees.

(10) Monitor the performance of legal counsel employed by the Funds and the Independent Trustees, and be responsible for the supervision of counsel for the Independent Trustees. The selection and oversight of fund counsel shall be the joint responsibility of the Committee and Fidelity. On behalf of the Independent Trustees, the Committee will make such findings and determinations as to the independence of counsel for the Independent Trustees as may be necessary or appropriate under applicable regulations or otherwise.

 

25


(11) Be responsible for oversight of Independent Trustees administrative matters, such as expense reimbursement policies and compensation for attendance at meetings, conferences and other events.

(12) Monitor compliance with, act as the administrator of, and make determinations in respect of (a) the provisions of the Code of Ethics applicable to the Independent Trustees, and (b) supplemental policies adopted by the Independent Trustees in respect of personal securities transactions of Independent Trustees.

(13) Monitor the functioning of the Board and Independent Trustees Committees and make recommendations for any changes, including the creation or elimination of such standing or ad hoc Committees.

(14) Monitor regulatory and other developments to determine whether to recommend modifications to the Committee’s responsibilities or other Trustee policies and procedures in light of rule changes, reports concerning “best practices” in corporate governance and other developments in mutual fund governance. The Committee will meet with the Independent Trustees at least once a year to discuss matters relating to Fund governance.

(15) Recommend that the Board or the Independent Trustees establish such special or ad hoc Committees as may be desirable or necessary from time to time in order to address ethical, legal or other matters that may arise. The Committee’s power to make such a recommendation under this Charter shall be without prejudice to the right of any other committee of the Board or of the Independent Trustees, or any individual trustee, to make such a recommendation at any time.

F. Self-Evaluation of the Board of Trustees

The Committee shall be responsible for overseeing the annual self-evaluation of the Board of Trustees. The Committee shall establish procedures to allow it to exercise this oversight function. The Chair shall, or shall appoint an Independent Trustee to, conduct the annual self-evaluation.

In conducting this oversight, the Committee shall address all matters that the Committee considers relevant to the Board of Trustees’ performance.

The Committee shall report to the Board of Trustees on the results of its evaluation, including any recommended amendments to the principles of governance, and any recommended changes to the Funds’ or the Board of Trustees’ policies, procedures and structures. This report may be written or oral.

G. Evaluation of the Continuing Participation of Independent Trustees

The Committee shall be responsible to assess whether any Independent Trustee, based on his or her continuing interest and commitment or level of participation, or on other specific and relevant reasons, in respect of the Funds, should not stand for election to the Board of Trustees at the next annual meeting of any Funds or, if no such annual meeting is scheduled for that year, should retire from the Board of Trustees within an appropriate time.

 

26


If the Committee determines that there is a reasonable basis, in its view, for concern about a particular Independent Trustee (an “Identified Trustee”), the Committee, under the leadership of the Chair, shall consult with each other Independent Trustee, including the Identified Trustee, as to the bases for the Committee’s concern, and the Committee thereafter shall take such action or make such suggestions as appropriate, including privately suggesting that such Independent Trustee retire, provided that no Independent Trustee shall be formally asked to retire from the Board of Trustees unless all other Independent Trustees unanimously agree.

III. Nominating Committee Function

This Section III describes the nominating committee functions of the Committee.

A. Identification of Candidates

The Committee will:

(1) Review periodically the size and composition of the Board of Trustees as a whole and recommend, if necessary, measures to be taken so that the Board of Trustees reflects the appropriate balance of knowledge, experience, skills, expertise and diversity required for the Board as a whole and contains at least the minimum number of Independent Trustees required by law.

(2) Periodically review the Independent Trustee’s Statement of Policy on Criteria for Selecting Independent Trustees (“Statement of Policy”), which may from time to time be revised by vote of a majority of Independent Trustees upon the recommendation of the Committee.

(3) Make nominations for the appointment or election of Independent Trustees in accordance with the Statement of Policy. The selection of Independent Trustees will be committed solely to the discretion of the Independent Trustees; persons so selected will be “disinterested” in terms of both the letter and spirit of the Investment Company Act.

(4) Make nominations for the appointment of any non-management member of any Advisory Board which the Board of Trustees shall have from time to time established. Each member of any Advisory Board shall serve at the pleasure of the Board of Trustees. Any Advisory Board shall be distinct from the Board of Trustees and shall serve such advisory functions as to investments and such other roles as may be designated by the Board of Trustees, but shall have no power to determine that any security or other investment shall be purchased or sold by any fund. In the discretion of the Board of Trustees, each Advisory Board member may be indemnified in respect of claims arising in connection with his or her services as such. Any member of an Advisory Board shall be compensated in accordance with policies in respect thereof adopted by the Board of Trustees. Service by a person on an Advisory Board shall not preclude such person’s subsequent service as a Trustee.

(5) Consider Independent Trustee candidates recommended by Fund shareholders. Any such candidates will be considered based upon the criteria applied to candidates presented to the Committee by a search firm or other sources, as set forth in the

 

27


Statement of Policy. The names of such candidates should be submitted to the Chair in writing at the address maintained for communications with Independent Trustees. The submission should be accompanied by appropriate background material concerning the candidate that demonstrates his or her ability to serve as an Independent Trustee of the Funds. If the Committee retains a search firm, the Chair will generally forward such submissions to the search firm for evaluation unless the Committee concludes that the credentials of such candidate are not consistent with the criteria that are to be applied by the Committee in such search.

B. Selection of the Chair, etc.

(1) The Committee will establish from time to time and as appropriate a procedure to choose a successor to the Chair with the objective that such successor shall be designated by a majority of the Independent Trustees as the Vice Chair of the Committee not later than one year before the expiration of the Chair’s term in order that there will be an orderly transition between them.

(2) Such Vice Chair shall serve such functions as may from time to time be designated by the Chair, and shall preside in such Chair’s absence.

(3) In the event of the death, incapacity or resignation of the Chair, the Vice Chair (if any) shall become the Chair without further action of the Committee or the Independent Trustees, and, in the absence of a Vice Chair, the remaining members of the Committee shall designate an acting Chair and initiate promptly a procedure to choose a successor Chair (who may be the acting Chair) by the vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees.

eFail Buckslip – to be sent to a shareholder that has consented to receive proxy solicitations electronically but in attempting to deliver an e-mail failure occurred:

Dear Investor,

We were unable to notify you electronically of the Availability of Important Proxy Materials for a Fidelity fund maintained in your account(s). We attempted to send the notice to your e-mail address, as reflected on our records. That e-mail address appears to be invalid.

To correct your e-mail address, please log in to one or more of your online account(s) and follow the instructions.

If this e-mail address is correct, there may be another issue preventing the receipt of these e-mails. Here are some things you should do:

 

    Confirm that your e-mail account is still active.

 

    Make sure that your e-mail inbox is not full (over its capacity).

 

    If you are using an e-mail address provided by your employer, make sure that you can receive e-mails from outside parties.

 

    Ask your e-mail provider if it has experienced an outage in its system.

Because we were unable to send the notice to you electronically, we are sending this notice and the related Proxy Materials (enclosed) to you in paper form. You may continue to receive Proxy Materials in paper form until you provide us with a valid e-mail address.

Please read the enclosed Proxy Materials and vote your shares promptly. Your vote is extremely important, no matter how large or small your holdings may be.

Q: What is Proxy Voting?

 

A: Mutual Funds may hold special meetings of shareholders to seek approval of changes to fund services or policies that require shareholder approval. As a shareholder, you are entitled to vote on these important matters. You could, if you wanted, attend the shareholder meeting in person to cast your vote, or you could cast a proxy vote, which allows you to cast your vote through the mail, over the telephone, or online. This way, your vote can be counted without you having to attend the meeting in person.

 

Q: When will I receive the information I need to vote?

 

A: A proxy statement, which provides details regarding the meeting and the management and shareholder proposals, if any, that will be voted on at the meeting, is provided to shareholders before the meeting is held.

The proxy statement may be sent to you via U.S. mail, or email, if you have consented to electronic delivery, or you may receive a notice linking you to a website where you can review it online.

 

Q: How can I submit a proxy vote?

 

A: You may submit a proxy vote through U.S. mail, over the telephone, or online, based on the instructions contained in the proxy statement. Votes must be submitted prior to the close of voting in order to be counted. Please vote your shares promptly. Your vote is extremely important, no matter how large or small your holdings may be.

 

Q: I consented for eDelivery of proxy materials, is it possible to receive hard copy paper materials instead?

 

A: By consenting to eDelivery, you have agreed to online receipt of important proxy materials. You can request a written copy of the proxy materials by clicking on “Request copy of shareholder materials,” on the same screen you are prompted to vote your shares. To request a written copy of any Fidelity Advisor Fund or Fidelity Fund proxy material via telephone, please call 877-208-0098. If you would like to change your eDelivery preferences for future proxy materials, click here to update your information or change your delivery method. [if shareholder clicks on “click here” a window appears where they can change their edelivery preferences on advisor.fidelity.com.]

 

Q: I used to enter a control number when voting proxy, why is this now no longer required?

 

A: By using advisor.fidelity.com to access the online voting site, a secure transaction with your control number information has been established and the control number is no longer required to securely complete this transaction.

 

Q: I voted and I would like to change my vote, is this possible?

 

A: Yes, you can vote again using the “Voted” link in the “Action” column as long as voting is still open for that holding. The latest vote cast will be recorded and the “Last Action Taken” date will update. If you do not complete the process of re-voting, the last vote cast remains on record.
