IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS FOR THE JOINT SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON MARCH 18, 2013.
This Proxy Statement is also available at

FOR THE JOINT SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON MARCH 18, 2013
Each Trust is governed by a Board of Trustees (the Trustees), which is responsible for generally overseeing the conduct of Fund business. The Trustees are soliciting proxies from the shareholders of each of the Funds (the Shareholders) in connection with a Joint Special Meeting of Shareholders of each Trust (the Meeting). The Meeting has been called to be held at 2:00 p.m. on March 18, 2013 at the offices of NGAM Advisors, L.P. (NGAM Advisors), 399 Boylston Street, 10th floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02116. The Presidents Letter to Shareholders, meeting notice, this Proxy Statement and proxy cards are first being sent to Shareholders of record as of December 21, 2012 (the Record Date) beginning on or about January 24, 2013.
The only item of business that the Trustees expect will come before the meeting is to elect four nominees to the Board of Trustees of each Trust.
Shareholders of record on the Record Date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting and any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof.

I. PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF TRUSTEES
Background.
The purpose of this proposal is to elect four nominees to the Board of Trustees of each Trust (together the Board). Pursuant to the provisions of each Trusts current Declaration of Trust, the Trustees have determined that the number of Trustees of each Trust shall be fixed at thirteen. It is intended that the persons named as proxies will vote in favor of the election of all of the four nominees listed below, unless such authority has been withheld. Should the nominees be elected, each nominees term of office will be until his successor is elected and qualified, or until he sooner dies, retires, is removed or becomes disqualified. If a nominee should be unavailable for election at the time of the Meeting (which is not presently anticipated), the persons named as proxies may vote for other persons in their discretion, or the Trustees may vote to fix the number of Trustees at fewer than thirteen or to leave a vacancy in the Board. The required vote is discussed below in Other InformationRequired Vote.
All of the persons named below as nominees currently serve as Trustees of the Trusts and have served in that capacity continuously since originally elected or appointed (except for Mr. Baker, as described in the Information About the Trustees table below). Messrs. Robert J. Blanding, Daniel M. Cain and John T. Hailer, and Mses. Sandra O. Moose and Cynthia L. Walker were elected as Trustees by shareholders of Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust IV, Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II at a special meeting held on June 2, 2005, by shareholders of Hansberger International Series at a special meeting held on September 12, 2007 and by the sole shareholder of Gateway Trust on October 12, 2007. Messrs. Kenneth A. Drucker, Wendell J. Knox, Erik R. Sirri and Peter J. Smail were elected as Trustees by shareholders of Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust IV, Loomis Sayles Funds I, Loomis Sayles Funds II, Gateway Trust and Hansberger International Series at a special meeting held on May 27, 2010. Those Trustees listed under Interested Trustees are interested persons, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act), of the Trusts by virtue of their affiliation with NGAM Advisors, Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (Loomis Sayles) or the Trusts principal underwriter, NGAM Distribution, L.P. (NGAM Distribution). Mr. Cain is listed as an Independent Trustee, but is considered to be an interested Trustee of Natixis Funds Trust II (but not of any other Trust) by virtue of his affiliation with a broker-dealer which has executed portfolio transactions for institutional accounts managed by a sub-adviser to one of the Funds. The Trustees who are candidates for election, who have not previously been elected by shareholders, are Messrs. Charles D. Baker, Edmond J. English, David L. Giunta and Martin T. Meehan (the Nominees). The Nominees were recommended by the Independent Trustees.
3
Section 16 of the 1940 Act provides that vacancies on the Boards of Trustees may be filled only by a meeting of shareholders duly called for that purpose, unless at least two-thirds of the Trustees holding office immediately after the appointment were elected by the shareholders of the Trust. Because each of the Nominees was appointed by the Trustees rather than elected by shareholders, the operation of this provision could potentially restrict the ability of the Trustees to appoint new Trustees in the future unless the Nominees are elected by shareholders.
Each Fund is a series of one of the Trusts. Natixis Funds Trust I consists of seven separate series. Natixis Funds Trust II consists of twelve series. Natixis Funds Trust IV consists of one series and Gateway Trust consists of two series. Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust IV and Gateway Trust are sometimes referred to as the Natixis Funds Trusts. Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II each consist of ten separate series. Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II are sometimes referred to as the Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts. Hansberger International Series consists of two separate series.
Information About the Trustees.
The Board of Trustees of the Trusts (the Board) believes that the Nominees are qualified to continue to serve on the Board and that it is appropriate to nominate them for election by shareholders for the following reasons:
| Charles D. BakerMr. Baker has experience as an executive in residence at General Catalyst Partners, a venture capital and growth equity firm, as President and Chief Executive Officer of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Inc. for 10 years and as President of Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates. Mr. Baker has also served 8 years in Massachusetts state government, serves on the boards of two business organizations and advises a number of privately held health care organizations. In addition, Mr. Baker served as a Trustee of each Trust from 2005 through 2009. |
| Edmond J. EnglishMr. English has experience as Chief Executive Officer of Bobs Discount Furniture and as the former President and Chief Executive Officer of TJX Companies, Inc. Mr. English also currently serves as Chairman of the Finance Committee on Northeastern Universitys board of trustees. |
| David L.

MeehanMr. Meehan has experience as Chancellor and a faculty member of the University of Massachusetts Lowell, served in the U.S. House of Representatives for 14 years, and served as First Assistant District Attorney of Middlesex County and the Massachusetts Deputy Secretary of State for Securities and Corporations. Mr. Meehan also has experience on the boards of two business organizations. |
The following table provides information about the Trustees, including the Nominees, including information about their principal occupations during the past five years, information about other directorships held at public companies or investment companies, and a summary of the experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that led to the conclusion that the Trustee should serve as such. For the purposes of this table and this Proxy Statement, the term Independent Trustee means those Trustees who are not interested persons, as defined in the 1940 Act, of the relevant Trust, and the term Interested Trustee means those Trustees who are interested persons of the relevant Trust. In certain circumstances, Trustees are also required to have no direct or indirect financial interest in the approval of a matter being voted on in order to be considered independent for the purposes of the requisite approval. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of all persons below is 399 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02116. As noted above, Mr. Cain is listed as an Independent Trustee but is considered to be an interested person of Natixis Funds Trust II.

If, at any time, less than a majority of the Trustees holding office have been elected by the shareholders, the Trustees then in office will promptly call a shareholders meeting for the purpose of electing Trustees. Otherwise, there will normally be no meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees unless, as in the current situation, the Trustees believe it would be appropriate to hold such a meeting.
The Board of Trustees of the Trusts is currently composed of three Interested and ten Independent Trustees (except in the case of the Board of Trustees of Natixis Funds Trust II, which is composed of four Interested and nine Independent Trustees). The total number of meetings of the Board of Trustees for each Trusts last fiscal year is listed in the following table. For each Trust, all the current Trustees who served on the Board during the entirety of each Trusts last fiscal year (except John T.

Leadership and Structure of the Board.
The Board is led by the Chairperson of the Board, who is an Independent Trustee. The Board currently consists of thirteen Trustees, ten of whom are Independent Trustees (except in the case of the Board of Trustees of Natixis Funds Trust II, nine of whom are Independent Trustees). The Trustees have delegated significant oversight authority to the two standing committees of each Trust, the Audit Committee and the Contract Review and Governance Committee. These committees meet separately and, at times, jointly, with the joint meetings intended to educate and involve all Independent Trustees in significant committee-level topics. As well as handling matters directly, the committees raise matters to the Board for consideration. In addition to the oversight performed by the committees and the Board, the Chairperson of the Board and the chairpersons of each committee interact frequently with management regarding topics to be considered at Board and committee meetings as well as items arising between meetings. At least once a year the Board reviews its governance structure. The Board of Trustees believes its leadership structure is appropriate and effective in that it allows for oversight at the committee or Board level, as the case may be, while facilitating communications among the Trustees and between the Board and Fund management.
Standing Board Committees.
The Contract Review and Governance Committee of the Trusts consists solely of Trustees who are not employees, officers or directors of NGAM Advisors, NGAM Distribution or their affiliates and considers matters relating to advisory, subadvisory and distribution arrangements, potential conflicts of interest between Fund advisers and each Trust, and governance matters relating to the Trusts. The Contract Review and Governance Committee also makes recommendations for
14
Independent Trustee membership to each Board when necessary and considers recommendations from shareholders of the Funds.
The total number of meetings of the Contract Review and Governance Committee for each Trusts last fiscal year is listed in the following table:

*** | Gateway International Fund, a series of Gateway Trust, has a fiscal year end of November 30, which is different from the other Fund in the Trust. |
The Audit Committee of the Trusts consists solely of Independent Trustees and considers matters relating to the scope and results of the Trusts audits and serves as a forum in which the independent registered public accounting firm can raise any issues or problems identified in an audit with the Board of Trustees. This Committee also reviews and monitors compliance with the Funds stated investment objectives and policies, and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations as well as operational issues relating to the transfer agent, administrator, sub-administrator and custodian. In addition, the Audit Committee implements procedures for receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Funds regarding their accounting and internal accounting controls and the confidential, anonymous submission by officers of the Funds or employees of certain service providers of concerns related to such matters.

Boards Role in Risk Oversight of the Funds
The Boards role is one of oversight of the practices and processes of the Funds and their service providers, rather than active management of the Trusts, including in matters relating to risk management. The Board seeks to understand the key risks facing the Funds, including those involving conflicts of interest; how Fund management identifies and monitors these risks on an ongoing basis; how Fund management develops and implements controls to mitigate these risks; and how Fund management tests the effectiveness of those controls.
16
Periodically, Fund officers provide the full Board with an overview of the enterprise risk assessment program in place at NGAM Advisors and NGAM Distribution which serve as the administrator of and principal underwriter to the Funds, respectively. Fund officers on a quarterly and annual basis also provide the Board (or one of its standing committees) with written and oral reports on regulatory and compliance matters, operational and service provider matters, organizational developments, product proposals, Fund and internal audit results, and insurance and fidelity bond coverage, along with a discussion of the risks and controls associated with these matters, and periodically make presentations to management on risk issues and industry best practices. Fund service providers, including advisers, subadvisers, transfer agents and the custodian, periodically provide Fund management and/or the Board with information about their risk assessment programs and/or the risks arising out of their activities. The scope and frequency of these reports vary. Fund officers also communicate with the Trustees between meetings regarding material exceptions and other items germane to the Boards risk oversight function.
Pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act, the Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) who is responsible for administering the Funds compliance program, including monitoring and enforcing compliance by the Funds and their service providers with the federal securities laws. The CCO has an active role in daily Fund operations and maintains a working relationship with all relevant advisory, compliance, operations and administration personnel for the Funds service providers. On at least a quarterly basis, the CCO reports to the Independent Trustees on significant compliance program developments, including material compliance matters, and on an annual basis, the CCO provides the full Board with a written report that summarizes his review and assessment of the adequacy of the compliance programs of the Funds and their service providers. The CCO also periodically communicates with the Audit Committee members between its scheduled meetings.

The Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series do not provide pension or retirement benefits to Trustees, but have adopted a deferred compensation plan under which each Trustee may elect not to receive fees from the Funds on a current basis but to receive in a subsequent period an amount equal to the value that such fees would have been if they had been invested in a Fund or Funds selected by the Trustee on the normal payment date for such fees. The tables showing the Trustees compensation are attached as Appendix C to this Proxy Statement.

On an annual basis, the Treasurer of the Funds submits to the Audit Committee information on the audit, audit-related, tax and other non-audit services to be rendered to the Funds that require pre-approval by the Audit Committee. This information provides a description of each type of service that is expected to require pre-approval, the maximum fees that can be paid for each service without further approval and the rationale for engaging the independent auditor to perform each service. The Audit Committee reviews and approves these services and reviews the projected fees for the next calendar year.
A report is provided to the Audit Committee at regularly scheduled, quarterly Audit Committee meetings containing a summary of the services provided during the prior quarter and the level of fees associated with those services. Any subsequent revisions to already pre-approved services or fees (including fee increases) are also presented for consideration at the quarterly meetings as needed. If, subsequent to the annual pre-approval of services by the Audit Committee, the Funds or one of their affiliates determine that they would like to engage the Funds independent auditors to perform a service not already pre-approved, the Funds or
26
such affiliate submits a request to the Treasurer. If the Treasurer determines that the service fits within the independence guidelines (e.g., it is not a prohibited service), the Treasurer will arrange for a discussion of the service to be included on the agenda for the next regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting so that pre-approval can be considered.
If, in the opinion of the Treasurer of the Funds, a proposed engagement needs to commence before the next regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting, the Treasurer shall submit a written summary of the proposed engagement to all members of the Audit Committee outlining the services, the estimated maximum cost, the category of the services (e.g., audit, audit-related, tax or other) and the rationale for engaging the independent auditor to perform the services. Pursuant to procedures approved by the Board, to the extent the proposed engagement involves audit, audit-related or tax services, any one individual member of the Audit Committee who is an Independent Trustee is authorized under these procedures to pre-approve the engagement. To the extent the proposed engagement involves non-audit services other than audit, audit-related or tax services, the approval of a majority of the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the engagement. The Treasurer will arrange for this interim review and coordinate with the appropriate member(s) of the Audit Committee. An independent auditor must not commence the engagement under consideration until the Treasurer has indicated that the requisite approval has been obtained. The member of the Audit Committee who pre-approves any engagements between regularly scheduled Audit Committee meetings must report, for informational purposes only, any such pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. The percentage of Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees set forth in the table above that were approved pursuant to 17 C.F.R. 210.2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) was zero.
The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed for non-audit services rendered by PwC to each Trust and to their respective investment advisers (including the subadvisers who are affiliates of NGAM Advisors) and any other entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with an investment adviser that provides services to a Trust during each of the last two fiscal years.

In approving the selection of PwC, the Audit Committee considered, in addition to other practices and requirements relating to the selection of the Funds auditors, whether PwCs provision of the non-audit services covered in the table above under Non-Audit Fees to the Funds, the investment advisers and certain
28
related other parties are compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC as the Funds principal accountants.
Nomination and Election of Trustees By Shareholders.
The Agreement and Declaration of Trust of each Trust does not provide for the annual election of Trustees. However, in accordance with the 1940 Act, (i) each Trust will hold a shareholders meeting for the election of Trustees at such time as less than a majority of the Trustees holding office have been elected by shareholders, and (ii) if, as a result of a vacancy in the Board of Trustees, less than two-thirds of the Trustees holding office have been elected by the shareholders, that vacancy may only be filled by a vote of the shareholders. As mentioned above under Standing Board Committees, the duties of each Trusts Contract Review and Governance Committee include the consideration and recommendation to the Independent Trustees and the Full Board of candidates for election as Independent Trustees. This Committee will consider recommendations from shareholders that comply with the requirements discussed above. The charter of the Contract Review and Governance Committee is attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.
The Committee will, when a vacancy on the Board of the Trusts exists or is anticipated, consider any candidate for Independent Trustee recommended by a shareholder of the Fund that is submitted in accordance with the procedures by which shareholders may communicate with the Board of Trustees. Pursuant to those procedures, shareholders must submit a recommendation for nomination in a signed writing addressed to the attention of the Board of Trustees, c/o Coleen Downs Dinneen, Secretary, NGAM Advisors, L.P., 399 Boylston Street, 12th Floor, Boston, MA 02116. This written communication must (i) be signed by the shareholder, (ii) include the name and address of the shareholder, (iii) identify the Trust(s) to which the communication relates, and (iv) identify the account number, class and number of shares held by the shareholder as of a recent date or the intermediary through which the shares are held. The recommendation must be received in a timely manner (and in any event no later than the date, if any, specified for receipt of shareholder proposals in any applicable proxy statement or shareholder report with respect to the Fund). A recommendation for trustee nomination shall be kept on file and considered by the Board for six (6) months from the date of receipt, after which the recommendation shall be considered stale and discarded. The recommendation must contain sufficient background information concerning the trustee candidate to enable a proper judgment to be made as to the candidates qualifications.
The Committee has not established specific, minimum qualifications that must be met by an individual to be recommended by the Committee for nomination as an Independent Trustee. When nominating an individual to fill a vacancy on a Funds Board, the Committee may seek referrals from a variety of sources, including
29
current Trustees, management of the Funds, Funds counsel, and counsel to the Trustees, as well as shareholders of the Funds in accordance with the procedures described above. In evaluating nominees for a position on the Board, the Committee may consider a variety of factors, including (i) the nominees knowledge in matters relating to the mutual fund industry; (ii) any experience possessed by the nominee as a director or senior officer of other public companies; (iii) the nominees educational background; (iv) the nominees reputation for high ethical standards and personal and professional integrity; (v) any specific financial, technical or other expertise possessed by the nominee, and the extent to which such expertise would complement the Boards existing mix of skills and qualifications; (vi) the nominees perceived ability to contribute to the ongoing functions of the Board, including the nominees ability and commitment to attend meetings regularly and work collaboratively with other members of the Board; (vii) the nominees ability to qualify as an Independent Trustee for purposes of applicable regulations; and (viii) such other factors as the Committee determines to be relevant in light of the existing composition of the Board and any anticipated vacancies or other transitions. Prior to making a final recommendation to the Board, the Committee may conduct personal interviews with the nominees it concludes are the most qualified candidates. Any individuals recommended by shareholders will be evaluated in the same manner as individuals brought to the Boards attention in some other manner.
The Committee believes that Trustees should be chosen to reflect a diversity of viewpoints. Although the Committee has not adopted a particular definition of diversity nor a diversity policy, when considering a nominee for the Board of Trustees, the Committee generally considers the nominees professional experience, education, skills, life experiences and other individual qualities. The nomination and evaluative process used by the Committee is intended to result in a Board that is composed of individuals who can fairly represent the interests and concerns of Fund shareholders.
Shareholder Communications with the Boards.
Shareholders may mail written communications to the Boards of Trustees, addressed as follows:
To the Attention of the Board of Trustees
c/o Coleen Downs Dinneen, Secretary
NGAM Advisors, L.P.
399 Boylston Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02116
A shareholders written communication must (i) be signed by the shareholder, (ii) include the shareholders name and address, (iii) identify the Fund(s) to which it relates and (iv) identify the account number, class and number of shares held by
30
the shareholder as of a recent date or the intermediary through which the shares are held. Shareholders may also email communications to the Board of Trustees to secretaryofthefunds@ngam.natixis.com, provided, however, that communications regarding recommendations for Trustee candidates may not be submitted by email and must instead be submitted as described above.
The Secretary is responsible for collecting, reviewing and organizing all properly submitted shareholder communications. Except as provided below, the Secretary shall either (i) provide a copy of each properly submitted shareholder communications to the appropriate Committee of the Board, as determined by the Secretary, at the next regularly scheduled Board meeting or (ii) if the Secretary determines that the communication requires more immediate attention, forward the communication to the appropriate Board Committee promptly after receipt; in either case, the Secretary may also provide, in addition to such shareholder communication, a proposed response to such communication. Except with respect to shareholder recommendations regarding candidates to the Board, the Secretary may, in good faith, determine that a shareholder communication should not be provided to the Board because it does not reasonably relate to a Fund or its operations, management, activities, policies, service providers, Board, officers, shareholders or other matters relating to an investment in the Fund or is otherwise ministerial in nature (such as a request for Fund literature, share data or financial information). These procedures shall not apply to (i) any communication from an officer or Trustee of the Fund, (ii) any communication from an employee or agent (for example, an employee of the Funds investment adviser, administrator, custodian, distributor and transfer agent) of the Fund, unless such communication is made solely in such employees or agents capacity as a shareholder, or (iii) any shareholder proposal submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any communication made in connection with such a proposal (i.e., shareholder proxy proposals).
The Trustees unanimously recommend that shareholders vote FOR each Nominee.

Certain Purchases and Sales of Securities.
There were no purchases or sales by any of the Nominees of any securities in excess of 1% of any class of outstanding securities of any adviser, any subadviser, or any of their parents or subsidiaries since the beginning of each Funds most recently completed fiscal year.
Certain Relationships and Interests of Trustees and Officers.
No Trustees, Nominee, or officers, nor any associate of any of the foregoing, have any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon, other than elections to office.
Outstanding Shares and Significant Shareholders.
Shareholders of record at the close of business on December 21, 2012 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting and any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof. Appendix B to this Proxy Statement lists for each Fund the total number of shares outstanding as of December 21, 2012 for each class of the Funds shares. Each whole share shall be entitled to one vote as to any matter on which it is entitled to vote and each fractional share shall be entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. Appendix B also identifies holders, as of December 21, 2012, of more than 5% of any class of shares of each Fund, and contains information about the shareholdings in the Funds of the Trustees and the executive officers of the Funds as of December 21, 2012.
Information About Proxies and the Conduct of the Meeting.
Solicitation of Proxies. Proxies will be solicited primarily by mailing this Proxy Statement and its enclosures, but proxies may also be solicited through further mailings, telephone calls, personal interviews or e-mail by officers of the Trusts or by employees or agents of NGAM Advisors, Loomis Sayles, Hansberger Global Investors, Inc. or their respective affiliates. In addition, Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. has been engaged to provide shareholder meeting services, including the distribution of this Proxy Statement and related materials to shareholders as well as vote solicitation and tabulation, at an estimated cost of approximately $100,000.
Costs of Solicitation. The costs of the Meeting, including the costs of soliciting proxies and printing and mailing this proxy statement to shareholders, will be paid by the Trusts.
Voting and Tabulation of Proxies. Shares represented by duly executed and timely proxies will be voted as instructed on the proxy. If no instructions are given,
36
the proxy will be voted in favor of all of the Nominees for election as Trustees of the Trust. You may vote by any one of the three following methods: (1) by mailing the enclosed proxy card, (2) through use of the internet or (3) by telephone. If you mail the enclosed proxy card and no choice is indicated for a proposal listed in the attached Notice of Meeting, your proxy will be voted in favor of that proposal, including all of the Nominees for election as Trustees. Votes made through use of the internet or by telephone must have an indicated choice in order to be accepted. At any time before it has been voted, your proxy may be revoked in one of the following ways: (i) by sending a signed, written letter of revocation to the Secretary of the Trust, (ii) by properly executing a later-dated proxy (by any of the methods of voting described above) or (iii) by attending the Meeting, requesting the return of any previously delivered proxy and voting in person. Votes cast in person or by proxy at the Meeting will be counted by persons appointed by the Funds as tellers for the Meeting (the Tellers). For Proposal 1, the election of Trustees, thirty percent of the shares of any Trust outstanding on the record date, present in person or represented by proxy, constitute quorums for the transaction of business by the shareholders of that Trust at the Meeting. In determining whether a quorum is present, the Tellers will count shares represented by proxies that reflect abstentions, and broker non-votes, as shares that are present and entitled to vote. These shares will have no effect on whether Proposal 1 is approved. Broker non-votes are shares held by brokers or nominees as to which (i) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power and (ii) the broker or nominee has not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other person who is entitled to instruct how the shares will be voted.
Votes on Proposal 1 (Election of Trustees) will be tabulated on a Trust basis, such that shareholders of the Funds within each Trust will vote together as a single class to elect the Board of Trustees of that Trust. For a Trust, the approval of a Nominee is not contingent upon approval of any other Nominee. Similarly, the outcome of the vote for one Trust will not affect the outcome of any other Trust.
Required Vote. The election of Messrs. Baker, English, Giunta and Meehan will require the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the Meeting (each Trust voting separately and all Funds of each Trust voting together as a single class) present at the Meeting in person or by proxy, assuming a quorum is present. If the required vote for a Nominee is not obtained for any Trust, the Trustees will consider what other actions, if any, to take in the best interests of that Trust.
Adjournments; Other Business. In the event that a quorum is not present for purposes of acting on a proposal, or if sufficient votes in favor of any proposal are not received by the time of the Meeting, the persons named as proxies may propose that the Meeting be adjourned or postponed one or more times as to that Trust in order to permit further solicitation of proxies for any such proposal(s). Any adjournment requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes properly cast
37
on the question, whether or not a quorum is present. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of any such adjournment all proxies that they are entitled to vote in favor of any Nominee that has not been elected. They will vote against any such adjournment any proxy that withholds authority to with respect to each Nominee. They will not vote any proxy that directs them to abstain from voting on any proposal.
The Meeting has been called to transact any business that properly comes before it. The only business that management of the Funds intends to present or knows that others will present is the election of the Trustees of the Trusts. If any other matters properly come before the Meeting, and on all matters incidental to the conduct of the Meeting, the persons named as proxies intend to vote the proxies in accordance with their judgment, unless the Secretary of the Trust has previously received written contrary instructions from the shareholder entitled to vote the shares.
Shareholder Proposals at Future Meetings. The Trusts do not hold annual or other regular meetings of shareholders. Shareholder proposals to be presented at any future meeting of shareholders of a Trust or a Fund must be received by the Trust or the Fund in writing a reasonable amount of time before the Trust solicits proxies for that meeting in order to be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials for that meeting.

Appendix A Procedures with Respect to Nominees to the Board
I. | Identification of Candidates. When a vacancy on the Board of the Trusts exists or is anticipated, the Committee may make nominations for Trustee membership. When nominating an individual to fill a vacancy on the Trusts Board, the Committee may seek referrals from a variety of sources, including current Trustees, management of the Funds, Funds counsel and counsel to the Independent Trustees, and shareholders of a Fund who submit recommendations in accordance with these procedures. The Committee has not established specific, minimum qualifications that must be met by an individual in order for such person to be considered by |
40
the Committee for nomination as an Independent Trustee. The Committee, however, believes that the Board of Trustees as a whole should reflect diversity, and will generally consider each nominees professional experience, education, skills, life experiences and other individual qualities. |
II. | Shareholder Candidates. Except as provided below, the Committee also shall consider any candidate for Independent Trustee recommended by a shareholder of a Trust if such recommendation contains sufficient background information concerning the candidate to enable a proper judgment to be made as to the candidates qualifications, and the recommendation is received in a sufficiently timely manner (and in any event no later than the date specified for receipt of shareholder proposals in any applicable proxy statement with respect to a Fund). Shareholders shall be directed to address any such recommendations to the attention of the Board of Trustees, c/o Secretary of the Trust. Such requirements may be contained in a Trusts Declaration of Trust or Bylaws. In such case, any shareholder nominations must meet such requirements in order to be considered. A recommendation from a shareholder shall be kept on file and considered by the Board for six (6) months from the date of receipt, after which the recommendation shall be considered stale and discarded. |
III. | Evaluation of Candidates. In evaluating nominees for a position on the Board, the Committee may consider any factors it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, (i) the nominees knowledge of the mutual fund industry; (ii) any experience possessed by the nominee as a director or senior officer of a financial services company or a public company; (iii) the nominees educational background; (iv) the nominees reputation for high ethical standards and personal and professional integrity; (v) any specific financial, technical or other expertise possessed by the nominee, and the extent to which such expertise would complement the Boards existing mix of skills and qualifications; (vi) the nominees perceived ability to contribute to the ongoing functions of the Board, including the nominees ability and commitment to attend meetings regularly and work collaboratively with other members of the Board; (vii) the nominees ability to qualify as an Independent Trustee for purposes of applicable regulations; and (viii) such other factors as the Committee may request in light of the existing composition of the Board and any anticipated vacancies or other transitions. Any individuals recommended by shareholders will be evaluated in the same manner as individuals brought to the Boards attention in some other manner. |
