On the Effective Date, the following disclosure replaces similar disclosure under Distribution plans and payments to dealers – Distribution and service (12b-1) plans.
Distribution and service (12b-1) plans. Each fund’s 12b-1 plans provide for payments at annual rates (based on average net assets) of up to 0.35% on class A shares and 1.00% on class B and class C shares. The Trustees currently limit payments on class B shares to 0.85% of average net assets, and effective July 1, 2020, will limit payments on class A shares to 0.25% of average net assets. For periods prior to July 1, 2020, the annual rate for class A shares will equal the weighted average of (i) 0.20% of the net assets of the fund attributable to class A shares purchased and paid for prior to April 1, 2005 and (ii) 0.25% of all other net assets of the fund attributable to class A shares. Because these fees are paid out of a fund’s assets on an ongoing basis, they will increase the cost of your investment. The higher fees for class B and class C shares may cost you more over time than paying the initial sales charge for class A shares. Class R6 and class Y shares, for shareholders who are eligible to purchase them, will be less expensive than other classes of shares because they do not bear sales charges or 12b-1 fees.

On the Effective Date, the following disclosure replaces similar disclosure under Distribution plans and payments to dealers – Distribution and service (12b-1) plans.
Distribution and service (12b-1) plans. Each fund’s 12b-1 plans provide for payments at annual rates (based on average net assets) of up to 0.35% on class A shares and 1.00% on class B and class C shares. The Trustees currently limit payments on class B shares to 0.85% of average net assets, and effective July 1, 2020, will limit payments on class A shares to 0.25% of average net assets. For periods prior to July 1, 2020, the annual rate for class A shares will equal the weighted average of (i) 0.20% of the net assets of the fund attributable to class A shares purchased and paid for prior to April 1, 2005 and (ii) 0.25% of all other net assets of the fund attributable to class A shares. Because these fees are paid out of a fund’s assets on an ongoing basis, they will increase the cost of your investment. The higher fees for class B and class C shares may cost you more over time than paying the initial sales charge for class A shares. Class R6 and class Y shares, for shareholders who are eligible to purchase them, will be less expensive than other classes of shares because they do not bear sales charges or 12b-1 fees.

Example
The following hypothetical example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds. It assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then, except as indicated, redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. It assumes a 5% return on your investment each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

On the Effective Date, the following disclosure replaces similar disclosure under Distribution plans and payments to dealers – Distribution and service (12b-1) plans.
Distribution and service (12b-1) plans. Each fund’s 12b-1 plans provide for payments at annual rates (based on average net assets) of up to 0.35% on class A shares and 1.00% on class B and class C shares. The Trustees currently limit payments on class B shares to 0.85% of average net assets, and effective July 1, 2020, will limit payments on class A shares to 0.25% of average net assets. For periods prior to July 1, 2020, the annual rate for class A shares will equal the weighted average of (i) 0.20% of the net assets of the fund attributable to class A shares purchased and paid for prior to April 1, 2005 and (ii) 0.25% of all other net assets of the fund attributable to class A shares. Because these fees are paid out of a fund’s assets on an ongoing basis, they will increase the cost of your investment. The higher fees for class B and class C shares may cost you more over time than paying the initial sales charge for class A shares. Class R6 and class Y shares, for shareholders who are eligible to purchase them, will be less expensive than other classes of shares because they do not bear sales charges or 12b-1 fees.
