GENERAL AGREEMENTS

 

A.ADDITIONAL OFFICES OR EMPLOYEES—CONSOLIDATION OR MERGER—NOTICE

 

1.Except as provided in paragraph 2 below, this Bond shall apply to any additional office(s) established by the Insured during the Bond Period and to all Employees during the Bond Period, without the need to give notice thereof or pay additional premiums to the Underwriter for the Bond Period.

 

2.If during the Bond Period an Insured Investment Company shall merge or consolidate with an institution in which such Insured is the surviving entity, or purchase substantially all the assets or capital stock of another institution, or acquire or create a separate investment portfolio, and shall within sixty (60) days notify the Underwriter thereof, then this Bond shall automatically apply to the Property and Employees resulting from such merger, consolidation, acquisition or creation from the date thereof; provided, that the Underwriter may make such coverage contingent upon the payment of an additional premium.

 

B.       WARRANTY

 

No statement made by or on behalf of the Insured, whether contained in the Application or otherwise, shall be deemed to be an absolute warranty, but only a warranty that such statement is true to the best of the knowledge of the person responsible for such statement.

 
 

 

C.       COURT COSTS AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES

 

The Underwriter will indemnify the Insured against court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred and paid by the Insured in defense of any legal proceeding brought against the Insured seeking recovery for any loss which, if established against the Insured, would constitute a loss covered under the terms of this Bond; provided, however, that with respect to Insuring Agreement A this indemnity shall apply only in the event that:

 

1.an Employee admits to having committed or is adjudicated to have committed a Dishonest or Fraudulent Act which caused the loss; or

 

2.in the absence of such an admission or adjudication, an arbitrator or arbitrators acceptable to the Insured and the Underwriter concludes, after a review of an agreed statement of facts, that an Employee has committed a Dishonest or Fraudulent Act which caused the loss.

 

The Insured shall promptly give notice to the Underwriter of any such legal proceeding and upon request shall furnish the Underwriter with copies of all pleadings and other papers therein. At the Underwriter’s election the Insured shall permit the Underwriter to conduct the defense of such legal proceeding in the Insured’s name, through attorneys of the Underwriter’s selection. In such event, the Insured shall give all reasonable information and assistance which the Underwriter shall deem necessary to the proper defense of such legal proceeding.

 

If the amount of the Insured’s liability or alleged liability in any such legal proceeding is greater than the amount which the Insured would be entitled to recover under this Bond (other than pursuant to this General Agreement C), or if a Deductible Amount is applicable, or both, the indemnity liability of the Underwriter under this General Agreement C is limited to the proportion of court costs and attorneys’ fees incurred and paid by the Insured or by the Underwriter that the amount which the Insured would be entitled to recover under this Bond (other than pursuant to this General Agreement C) bears to the sum of such amount plus the amount which the Insured is not entitled to recover. Such indemnity shall be in addition to the Limit of Liability for the applicable Insuring Agreement.

 

D.       INTERPRETATION

 

This Bond shall be interpreted with due regard to the purpose of fidelity bonding under Rule 17g-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (i.e., to protect innocent third parties from harm) and to the structure of the investment management industry (in which a loss of Property resulting from a cause described in any Insuring Agreement ordinarily gives rise to a potential legal liability on the part of the Insured), such that the term “loss” as used herein shall include an Insured’s legal liability for direct compensatory damages resulting directly from a misappropriation, or measurable diminution in value, of Property.

This Bond is for the use and benefit only of the Insured and the Underwriter shall not be liable hereunder to anyone other than the Insured. As soon as practicable and not more than sixty (60) days after discovery of any loss covered hereunder, the Insured shall give the Underwriter written notice thereof and, as soon as practicable and within one year after such discovery, shall also furnish to the Underwriter affirmative proof of loss with full particulars.

(1)becomes aware of facts, or

 

(2)receives notice of an actual or potential claim by a third party which alleges that the Insured is liable under circumstances,

 

which would cause a reasonable person to assume that a loss of a type covered by this Bond has been or is likely to be incurred, regardless of when the act or acts causing or contributing to such loss occurred, even though the exact amount or details of the loss may not be known.

 

 
 

 

SECTION 6. VALUATION OF PROPERTY

 

For the purpose of determining the amount of any loss hereunder, the value of any Property shall be the market value of such Property at the close of business on the first business day before the discovery of such loss; except that

 

(1)the value of any Property replaced by the Insured prior to the payment of a claim therefor shall be the actual market value of such Property at the time of replacement, but not in excess of the market value of such Property on the first business day before the discovery of the loss of such Property;

 

(2)the value of Securities which must be produced to exercise subscription, conversion, redemption or deposit privileges shall be the market value of such privileges immediately preceding the expiration thereof if the loss of such Securities is not discovered until after such expiration, but if there is no quoted or other ascertainable market price for such Property or privileges referred to in clauses (1) and (2), their value shall be fixed by agreement between the parties or by arbitration before an arbitrator or arbitrators acceptable to the parties; and

 

(3)the value of books of accounts or other records used by the Insured in the conduct of its business shall be limited to the actual cost of blank books, blank pages or other materials if the books or records are reproduced plus the cost of labor for the transcription or copying of data furnished by the Insured for reproduction.

 

SECTION 7. LOST SECURITIES

 

The maximum liability of the Underwriter hereunder for lost Securities shall be the payment for, or replacement of, such Securities having an aggregate value not to exceed the applicable Limit of Liability. If the Underwriter shall make payment to the Insured for any loss of Securities, the Insured shall assign to the Underwriter all of the Insured’s right, title and interest in and to such Securities. In lieu of such payment, the Underwriter may, at its option, replace such lost Securities, and in such case the Insured shall cooperate to effect such replacement. To effect the replacement of lost Securities, the Underwriter may issue or arrange for the issuance of a lost instrument bond. If the value of such Securities does not exceed the applicable Deductible Amount (at the time of the discovery of the loss), the Insured will pay the usual premium charged for the lost instrument bond and will indemnify the issuer of such bond against all loss and expense that it may sustain because of the issuance of such bond.

 

If the value of such Securities exceeds the applicable Deductible Amount (at the time of discovery of the loss), the Insured will pay a proportion of the usual premium charged for the lost instrument bond, equal to the percentage that the applicable Deductible Amount bears to the value of such Securities upon discovery of the loss, and will indemnify the issuer of such bond against all loss and expense that is not recovered from the Underwriter under the terms and conditions of this Bond, subject to the applicable Limit of Liability.

 

SECTION 8. SALVAGE

 

If any recovery is made, whether by the Insured or the Underwriter, on account of any loss within the applicable Limit of Liability hereunder, the Underwriter shall be entitled to the full amount of such recovery to reimburse the Underwriter for all amounts paid hereunder with respect to such loss. If any recovery is made, whether by the Insured or the Underwriter, on account of any loss in excess of the applicable Limit of Liability hereunder plus the Deductible Amount applicable to such loss from any source other than suretyship, insurance, reinsurance, security or indemnity taken by or for the benefit of the Underwriter, the amount of such recovery, net of the actual costs and expenses of recovery, shall be applied to reimburse the Insured in full for the portion of such loss in excess of such Limit of Liability, and the remainder, if any, shall be paid first to reimburse the Underwriter for all amounts paid hereunder with respect to such loss and then to the Insured to the extent of the portion of such loss within the Deductible Amount. The Insured shall execute all documents which the Underwriter deems necessary or desirable to secure to the Underwriter the rights provided for herein.

 

SECTION 9. NON-REDUCTION AND NON-ACCUMULATION OF LIABILITY AND TOTAL LIABILITY

 

Prior to its termination, this Bond shall continue in force up to the Limit of Liability for each Insuring Agreement for each Single Loss, notwithstanding any previous loss (other than such Single Loss) for which the Underwriter may have paid or be liable to pay hereunder; PROVIDED, however, that regardless of the number of years this Bond shall continue in force and the number of premiums which shall be payable or paid, the liability of the Underwriter under this Bond with respect to any Single Loss shall be limited to the applicable Limit of Liability irrespective of the total amount of such Single Loss and shall not be cumulative in amounts from year to year or from period to period.

 

SECTION 10. MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF UNDERWRITER; OTHER BONDS OR POLICIES

 

The maximum liability of the Underwriter for any Single Loss covered by any Insuring Agreement under this Bond shall be the Limit of Liability applicable to such Insuring Agreement, subject to the applicable Deductible Amount and the other provisions of this Bond. Recovery for any Single Loss may not be made under more than one Insuring Agreement. If any Single Loss covered under this Bond is recoverable or recovered in whole or in part because of an unexpired discovery period under any other bonds or policies issued by the Underwriter to the Insured or to any predecessor in interest of the Insured, the maximum liability of the Underwriter shall be the greater of either (1) the applicable Limit of Liability under this Bond, or (2) the maximum liability of the Underwriter under such other bonds or policies.

 

SECTION 11. OTHER INSURANCE

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any loss covered by this Bond shall also be covered by other insurance or suretyship for the benefit of the Insured, the Underwriter shall be liable hereunder only for the portion of such loss in excess of the amount recoverable under such other insurance or suretyship, but not exceeding the applicable Limit of Liability of this Bond.

 

SECTION 12. DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNT

 

The Underwriter shall not be liable under any Insuring Agreement unless the amount of the loss covered thereunder, after deducting the net amount of all reimbursement and/or recovery received by the Insured with respect to such loss (other than from any other bond, suretyship or insurance policy or as an advance by the Underwriter hereunder) shall exceed the applicable Deductible Amount; in such case the Underwriter shall be liable only for such excess, subject to the applicable Limit of Liability and the other terms of this Bond.

 

No Deductible Amount shall apply to any loss covered under Insuring Agreement A sustained by any Investment Company named as an Insured.

 

 
 

 

SECTION 13. TERMINATION

 

The Underwriter may terminate this Bond as to any Insured or all Insureds only by written notice to such Insured or Insureds and, if this Bond is terminated as to any Investment Company, to each such Investment Company terminated thereby and to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C., in all cases not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of termination specified in such notice.

 

The Insured may terminate this Bond only by written notice to the Underwriter not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of the termination specified in such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when the Insured terminates this Bond as to any Investment Company, the effective date of termination shall be not less than sixty (60) days from the date the Underwriter provides written notice of the termination to each such Investment Company terminated thereby and to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C.

 

This Bond will terminate as to any Insured that is a Non-Fund immediately and without notice upon (1) the takeover of such Insured’s business by any State or Federal official or agency, or by any receiver or liquidator, or (2) the filing of a petition under any State or Federal statute relative to bankruptcy or reorganization of the Insured, or assignment for the benefit of creditors of the Insured.

 

Premiums are earned until the effective date of termination. The Underwriter shall refund the unearned premium computed at short rates in accordance with the Underwriter’s standard short rate cancellation tables if this Bond is terminated by the Insured or pro rata if this Bond is terminated by the Underwriter.

 

Upon the detection by any Insured that an Employee has committed any Dishonest or Fraudulent Act(s), the Insured shall immediately remove such Employee from a position that may enable such Employee to cause the Insured to suffer a loss by any subsequent Dishonest or Fraudulent Act(s). The Insured, within two (2) business days of such detection, shall notify the Underwriter with full and complete particulars of the detected Dishonest or Fraudulent Act(s).

 

For purposes of this section, detection occurs when any partner, officer, or supervisory employee of any Insured, who is not in collusion with such Employee, becomes aware that the Employee has committed any Dishonest or Fraudulent Act(s).

 

This Bond shall terminate as to any Employee by written notice from the Underwriter to each Insured and, if such Employee is an Employee of an Insured Investment Company, to the Securities and Exchange Commission, in all cases not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of termination specified in such notice.

 

SECTION 14. RIGHTS AFTER TERMINATION

 

At any time prior to the effective date of termination of this Bond as to any Insured, such Insured may, by written notice to the Underwriter, elect to purchase the right under this Bond to an additional period of twelve (12) months within which to discover loss sustained by such Insured prior to the effective date of such termination and shall pay an additional premium therefor as the Underwriter may require.

 

Such additional discovery period shall terminate immediately and without notice upon the takeover of such Insured’s business by any State or Federal official or agency, or by any receiver or liquidator. Promptly after such termination the Underwriter shall refund to the Insured any unearned premium.

 
 

 

The right to purchase such additional discovery period may not be exercised by any State or Federal official or agency, or by any receiver or liquidator, acting or appointed to take over the Insured’s business.

 

SECTION 15. CENTRAL HANDLING OF SECURITIES

 

The Underwriter shall not be liable for loss in connection with the central handling of securities within the systems established and maintained by any Depository (“Systems”), unless the amount of such loss exceeds the amount recoverable or recovered under any bond or policy or participants’ fund insuring the Depository against such loss (the “Depository’s Recovery”); in such case the Underwriter shall be liable hereunder only for the Insured’s share of such excess loss, subject to the applicable Limit of Liability, the Deductible Amount and the other terms of this Bond.

 

For determining the Insured’s share of such excess loss, (1) the Insured shall be deemed to have an interest in any certificate representing any security included within the Systems equivalent to the interest the Insured then has in all certificates representing the same security included within the Systems; (2) the Depository shall have reasonably and fairly apportioned the Depository’s Recovery among all those having an interest as recorded by appropriate entries in the books and records of the Depository in Property involved in such loss, so that each such interest shall share in the Depository’s Recovery in the ratio that the value of each such interest bears to the total value of all such interests; and (3) the Insured’s share of such excess loss shall be the amount of the Insured’s interest in such Property in excess of the amount(s) so apportioned to the Insured by the Depository.

 

This Bond does not afford coverage in favor of any Depository or Exchange or any nominee in whose name is registered any security included within the Systems.

 

SECTION 16. ADDITIONAL COMPANIES INCLUDED AS INSURED

 

If more than one entity is named as the Insured:

In consideration of the premium charged for this Bond, it is hereby understood and agreed that notwithstanding Section 2.Q of this Bond, this Bond is amended by adding an additional Insuring Agreement J as follows:

 

J.       COMPUTER SECURITY

 

Loss (including loss of Property) resulting directly from Computer Fraud; provided, that the Insured has adopted in writing and generally maintains and follows during the Bond Period all Computer Security Procedures. The isolated failure of the Insured to maintain and follow a particular Computer Security Procedure in a particular instance will not preclude coverage under this Insuring Agreement, subject to the specific exclusions herein and in the Bond.

 

1.Definitions. The following terms used in this Insuring Agreement shall have the following meanings:

 

a.“Authorized User” means any person or entity designated by the Insured (through contract, assignment of User Identification, or otherwise) as authorized to use a Covered Computer System, or any part thereof. An individual who invests in an Insured Fund shall not be considered to be an Authorized User solely by virtue of being an investor.

 

b.“Computer Fraud” means the unauthorized entry of data into, or the deletion or destruction of data in, or change of data elements or programs within, a Covered Computer System which:

 

(1)is committed by any Unauthorized Third Party anywhere, alone or in collusion with other Unauthorized Third Parties; and

 

(2)is committed with the conscious manifest intent (a) to cause the Insured to sustain a loss, and (b) to obtain financial benefit for the perpetrator or any other person; and

 

(3)causes (x) Property to be transferred, paid or delivered; or (y) an account of the Insured, or of its customer, to be added, deleted, debited or credited; or (z) an unauthorized or fictitious account to be debited or credited.

 

c.“Computer Security Procedures” means procedures for prevention of unauthorized computer access and use and administration of computer access and use as provided in writing to the Underwriter.

 

d.“Covered Computer System” means any Computer System as to which the Insured has possession, custody and control.

 

e.“Unauthorized Third Party” means any person or entity that, at the time of the Computer Fraud, is not an Authorized User.

 

f.“User Identification” means any unique user name (i.e., a series of characters) that is assigned to a person or entity by the Insured.

 

2.Exclusions. It is further understood and agreed that this Insuring Agreement J shall not cover:

 

a.Any loss covered under Insuring Agreement A, “Fidelity,” of this Bond; and

 

b.Any loss resulting from the intentional failure to adhere to one or more Computer Security Procedures; and

 

c.Any loss resulting from a Computer Fraud committed by or in collusion with:

 

(1)any Authorized User (whether a natural person or an entity); or

 

(2)in the case of any Authorized User which is an entity, (a) any director, officer, partner, employee or agent of such Authorized User, or (b) any entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such Authorized User (“Related Entity”), or (c) any director, officer, partner, employee or agent of such Related Entity; or

 

(3)in the case of any Authorized User who is a natural person, (a) any entity for which such Authorized User is a director, officer, partner, employee or agent (“Employer Entity”), or (b) any director, officer, partner, employee or agent of such Employer Entity, or (c) any entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such Employer Entity (“Employer-Related Entity”), or (d) any director, officer, partner, employee or agent of such Employer-Related Entity;

 

and

 

d.Any loss resulting from physical damage to or destruction of any Covered Computer System, or any part thereof, or any data, data elements or media associated therewith; and

 

e.Any loss not directly and proximately caused by Computer Fraud (including, without limitation, disruption of business and extra expense); and

 

f.Payments made to any person(s) who has threatened to deny or has denied authorized access to a Covered Computer System or otherwise has threatened to disrupt the business of the Insured.

 

For purposes of this Insuring Agreement, “Single Loss,” as defined in Section 1.EE of this Bond, shall also include all loss caused by Computer Fraud(s) committed by one person, or in which one person is implicated, whether or not that person is specifically identified. A series of losses involving unidentified individuals, but arising from the same method of operation, may be deemed by the Underwriter to involve the same individual and in that event shall be treated as a Single Loss.

 

It is further understood and agreed that nothing in this Rider shall affect the exclusion set forth in Section 2.O of this Bond.

 

Coverage under this Insuring Agreement shall terminate upon termination of this Bond. Coverage under this Insuring Agreement may also be terminated without terminating this Bond as an entirety:

 

(a)by written notice from the Underwriter not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of termination specified in such notice; or

 

(b)immediately by written notice from the Insured to the Underwriter.

 

Except as above stated, nothing herein shall be held to alter, waive or extend any of the terms of this Bond.

In consideration of the premium charged for this Bond, it is hereby understood and agreed that:

 

In the event that one or more Insureds under this Bond and one or more Insureds under ICI Mutual Investment Company Blanket Bond No. 87163218B (“Associated Bond” and, together with this Bond, the “ICI Mutual Bonds”) sustain losses that would constitute a Single Loss (assuming, for this purpose, that the ICI Mutual Bonds were deemed to be a single bond), the total liability of the Underwriter for such losses under the ICI Mutual Bonds in combination shall in no event exceed the highest of the applicable Limits of Liability for the relevant Insuring Agreement as established under the ICI Mutual Bonds. In no event shall the applicable Limit of Liability of each of the ICI Mutual Bonds be added together or otherwise combined to determine the total liability of the Underwriter.

 

By way of example, if (1) one or more Insureds were to sustain losses covered under Insuring Agreement A (Fidelity) of this Bond and one or more Insureds under the Associated Bond were to sustain losses covered under Insuring Agreement A (Fidelity) of the Associated Bond, and (2) such losses were caused by one or more Dishonest or Fraudulent Acts committed by the same person, then the total liability of the Underwriter for such losses could in no event exceed One Hundred and Thirty-Five Million Dollars ($135,000,000), regardless of the total amount of such losses or how such losses are allocable as between this Bond and the Associated Bond. The foregoing example is included solely for convenience, and shall not itself be deemed to be a term or condition of coverage.

 

Except as above stated, nothing herein shall be held to alter, waive or extend any of the terms of this Bond.

(a)is an employee of that Fund or of its investment adviser, principal underwriter, or affiliated transfer agent, and

 

(b)is communicating with purchasers of such shares only by telephone or in writing (unless such employee is a “customer service representative” employed by T.

(c)does not receive commissions or other performance-based compensation on such sales.

 

It is further understood and agreed that for purposes of this rider, the term “other performance-based compensation” shall not include an annual bonus paid to an employee of TRP, provided that any such bonus does not exceed 20% of that employee’s annual salary, and that the amount of any such bonus is not linked to the sale of securities issued by any particular Insured Fund.

 

For purposes of this rider, “Existing Subsidiary” shall mean any entity wholly-owned (directly or indirectly) by T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. as of the Effective Date of this Bond which T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. has made a good faith effort to identify in the Application or any attachment thereto.

Most property and casualty insurers, including ICI Mutual Insurance Company, a Risk Retention Group (“ICI Mutual”), are subject to the requirements of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended (the “Act”). The Act establishes a federal insurance backstop under which ICI Mutual and these other insurers may be partially reimbursed by the United States Government for future “insured losses” resulting from certified “acts of terrorism.” (Each of these bolded terms is defined by the Act.) The Act also places certain disclosure and other obligations on ICI Mutual and these other insurers.

 

Pursuant to the Act, any future losses to ICI Mutual caused by certified “acts of terrorism” may be partially reimbursed by the United Sates government under a formula established by the Act. Under this formula, the United States government would generally reimburse ICI Mutual for the Federal Share of Compensation of ICI Mutual’s “insured losses” in excess of ICI Mutual’s “insurer deductible” until total “insured losses” of all participating insurers reach $100 billion (the “Cap on Annual Liability”). If total “insured losses” of all property and casualty insurers reach the Cap on Annual Liability in any one calendar year, the Act limits U.S. Government reimbursement and provides that the insurers will not be liable under their policies for their portions of such losses that exceed such amount. Amounts otherwise payable under this Bond may be reduced as a result.

 

This Bond has no express exclusion for “acts of terrorism.” However, coverage under this Bond remains subject to all applicable terms, conditions, and limitations of the Bond (including exclusions) that are permissible under the Act.

 

The portion of the premium that is attributable to any coverage potentially available under the Bond for “acts of terrorism” is one percent (1%) and does not include any charges for the portion of loss that may be covered by the U.S. Government under the Act

 

As used herein, “Federal Share of Compensation” shall mean 85% in calendar year 2015 and shall be reduced by 1% per calendar year until equal to 80%.

 

Except as above stated, nothing herein shall be held to alter, waive or extend any of the terms of this Bond.

In consideration of the premium charged for this Bond, it is hereby understood and agreed that Section 5 of this Bond is amended to read as follows:

 

“Discovery occurs when the General Counsel, Managing Legal Counsel, the Chief Financial Officer, or any Chief Compliance Officer of an Insured (each, a “Designated Person”) becomes aware of facts which would cause a reasonable person to assume that a loss of over $250,000 (Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars) covered by the Bond has been or is likely to be incurred, regardless of when the act causing or contributing to such loss occurred, even though the exact amount of details of loss may not then be known. Notice to any Designated Person of an actual or potential claim of over $250,000 (Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars) by a third party which alleges that the Insured is liable under circumstances which, if true, would create a loss of over $250,000 (Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars) under this Bond, constitutes such discovery.”

 

It is further understood and agreed that the last sentence of the fifth paragraph of Section 13. Termination shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

The Insured, within ninety (90) business days of such detection by the General Counsel, Managing Legal Counsel, the Chief Financial Officer, or any Chief Compliance Officer of an Insured, shall notify the Underwriter with full and complete particulars of the detected Dishonest or Fraudulent Act(s).

 

Nothing herein contained shall be held to vary, alter, waive or extend any of the terms, conditions, provisions, agreements or limitations of this Bond other than as above stated.

Fidelity Bond Resolutions:

RESOLVED, that each T. Rowe Price Fund (“Price Fund”) shall be named as an insured under a joint insured fidelity bond (the “Fidelity Bond”) having an aggregate coverage of not less than $135 million issued by ICI Mutual, a reputable fidelity insurance company, against larceny and embezzlement and such other types of losses as are included in standard fidelity bonds, covering the officers and the other employees of the Price Funds from time to time, containing such provisions as may be required by the rules promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”); and

 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the proposed form and amount of the Fidelity Bond be, and the same hereby are, approved by each Board of Directors (including all of the independent directors), based on such factors including, but not limited to the amount of the Fidelity Bond, the expected value of the assets of the Price Funds to which any person covered under the Fidelity Bond may have access, the estimated amount of the premium for such Fidelity Bond, the type and terms of the arrangements made for the custody and safekeeping of the Price Funds’ assets, and the nature of the securities in the Price Funds’ respective portfolios; and

 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the share of the premium to be allocated to each of the Price Funds and T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (“Price Group”) and its affiliates for the Fidelity Bond, which is based upon their proportionate share of the sum of the premiums that would have been paid if such Fidelity Bond had been purchased separately, be, and the same hereby is, approved by each Board of Directors (including all of the independent directors), after having given due consideration to, among other things, the number of other parties insured under the Fidelity Bond, the nature of the business activities of those other parties, the amount of the Fidelity Bond, the amount of the premium for such Fidelity Bond, the ratable allocation of the premium among the parties named as insureds, and the extent to which the share of the premium allocated to each Price Fund under the Fidelity Bond is less than the premium that such Price Fund would have had to pay had it maintained a comparable single insured bond; and

 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the officers of the Price Funds be, and each of them hereby is, authorized and empowered to obtain the Fidelity Bond and pay the premium thereof; and

 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the agreement among the Price Funds and Price Group providing that in the event that any recovery is received under the Fidelity Bond as a result of a loss sustained by a Price Fund and also by any other named insured, the Price Fund shall receive an equitable and proportionate share of the recovery, but in no event less than the amount it would have received had it provided and maintained a single insured bond with the minimum coverage required by paragraph (d)(1) of Rule 17g-1 is approved with such further changes therein as the officers of the Price Funds may determine to be necessary or desirable and proper with the advice of counsel, the execution of said joint fidelity bond agreement by such officers to be conclusive evidence of such determination; and

 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that Darrell N. Braman, Secretary of the Price Funds, or his designee, be, and hereby is, designated as the party responsible for making the necessary filings and giving of notices with respect to the Fidelity Bond required by paragraph (g) of Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act; and

 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the proper officers of the Price Funds are authorized and directed to take such action with respect to obtaining additional fidelity bond coverage as they deem it necessary or appropriate pursuant to Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act.

AGREEMENT CONCERNING ALLOCATION OF FIDELITY BOND PREMIUMS AND RECOVERIES

 

This Agreement Concerning Allocation of Fidelity Bond Premiums and Recoveries made as of the 31st day of August, 2018 by and among the management investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 listed on Schedule I (each, an “Investment Company” and collectively, the “Investment Companies”) and the affiliated service providers to the Investment Companies (“Affiliated Providers”) which are defined as an listed on Schedule II, all of which are named insureds on a certain fidelity bond underwritten by ICI Mutual Insurance Company (the “Insurer”) covering certain acts relating to the Investment Companies (“Joint Fidelity Bond”).

 

WHEREAS: each of the Investment Companies has registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as diversified open-end management investment companies; and

 

WHEREAS: Rule 17g-1(f) under the 1940 Act requires that a registered management investment company named as an insured on a joint fidelity bond enter into a certain agreement with the other named insureds; and

 

WHEREAS: the Investment Companies each will benefit from their respective participation in the Joint Fidelity Bond in compliance with this Rule;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

 

1.The amount of coverage under the Joint Fidelity Bond shall at all times be at least equal in the amount to the sum of (a) the total amount of coverage that the Investment Company would have been required to provide and maintain individually pursuant to the schedule set forth in paragraph (d) of Rule 17g-1 had the Investment Company not been a named insured under the joint bond, plus (b) the amount of each bond that the Affiliated Providers would have been required to provide and maintain pursuant to federal statutes or regulations had it not been a named insured under the Bond. The amount of fidelity coverage under the Bond shall be approved at least annually by the Board of Directors of the Investment Companies, including a majority of those Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Investment Company as defined by Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act.

 

2.In the event any recovery is received under the Joint Fidelity Bond as a result of a loss sustained by any of the Investment Companies and one or more of the other named Insured, then each Investment Company sustaining such loss shall receive an equitable and proportionate share of the recovery, said proportion to be established by the ratio that the claim bears to the total amount claimed by all participants, but at least equal to the amount which each such Investment Company would have received had it provided and maintained a single insured bond with the minimum coverage required by Rule 17g-1(d)(1) under the 1940 Act (“Separate Bond”).

 

3.In the event that the claims of loss of the Insureds are so related that the Insurer is entitled to assert that the claims must be aggregated with the results that the total amount payable on such claims is limited to the face amount of the Joint Fidelity Bond, the following rules for determining the priorities among the Investment Companies for satisfaction of the claims under the Joint Fidelity Bond shall apply:
A.First, all claims of each Investment Company which have been duly proven and established under the Joint Fidelity Bond shall be satisfied up to the minimum amount of a Separate Bond for such Investment Company; and
B.Second, the remaining amount of insurance, if any, shall then be applied to the claims of the Investment Company in proportion to the total of the unsatisfied amount of the claims of each Investment Company.

 

4.No premium shall be paid under the Joint Fidelity Bond unless the majority of the Board of Directors of each Investment Company named as an insured therein who are not “interested persons” of such Investment Companies as defined by Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, shall approve the allocation method and portion of the premium to be paid by such Investment Companies taking all relevant factors into consideration. Premiums due and payable under the Bond shall be paid 69% by the Investment Companies and 31% by the Affiliated Providers.

 

5.Additional Parties to this Agreement: This Agreement is intended to cover all entities insured under the Joint Fidelity Bond. In addition to the named insureds, any new T. Rowe Price fund(s) registered after the inception of the bond will automatically be included as an insured under the current Joint Fidelity Bond until the next renewal of such Joint Fidelity Bond, at which point the Investment Company(ies) will be added to the list of Investment Companies in Schedule I in the Joint Fidelity Bond Agreement.

 

6.This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Investment Company has caused this Agreement to be executed by one of its officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.
