CALL CENTER OUTBOUND SCRIPT |
Hello, my name is (CSR FULL NAME).
May I please speak with (SHAREHOLDER’S FULL NAME)?
(Repeat the greeting if necessary)
I am calling on a recorded line regarding your current investment in (“Fund name here”). A Proxy Statement/Prospectus was sent to you in connection with the upcoming Special Meeting of Shareholders scheduled to be held on June 17th, 2024, and at this time we have not yet received your vote. The Board of Trustees of Aquila Municipal Trust recommends that you vote “FOR” the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization for (“Fund name here”). Would you like to vote along with the recommendation?
(Pause for shareholder’s response)
If YES or a positive response from the shareholder:
(Proceed to confirmation)
If NO or a shareholder hasn’t received information:
Shareholders are being asked to approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization providing for the transfer of the assets of (“Fund name here”), a series of Aquila Municipal Trust, to an Acquiring Fund, a series of MainStay Funds Trust, in exchange for the assumption of all of the liabilities of (“Fund name here”), by the Acquiring Fund, whether known or unknown, absolute or contingent, accrued or unaccrued, existing at the closing day of the reorganization, and shares of the Acquiring Fund followed by the complete liquidation of (‘Fund name here”).
After careful consideration, the Board of Trustees of Aquila Municipal Trust unanimously approved the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and believes that the Reorganization is in the best interests of (“Fund name here”) and its shareholders and recommends that you vote “FOR” the proposal (i.e., the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization). If approved, the Reorganizations would result in the Aquila Municipal Trust shareholders becoming part of the MainStay Funds Trust, a larger fund family with access to the wide array of distribution, marketing, administrative and other services offered by New York Life Investments. Would you like to vote along with the recommendation?
(Pause for shareholder’s response) (If Shareholder has additional questions refer to factsheet)
