Shareholder vote on important proposal to elect board members of American Funds and Capital Group funds

Notification of Shareholder Vote Solicitation

To our Consultant Partners:

We are writing to notify you that all shareholders of American Funds, including American Funds Insurance Series, and Capital Group funds (namely, Capital Group Emerging Markets Total Opportunities Fund (CGETOP) and Emerging Markets Growth Fund) are being asked to vote on an important proposal to elect board members for each fund in which they invest. Shareholders and/or their representatives (e.g., plan sponsors, contacts or trustees) have been sent proxy material in order to participate in this vote.

Why are shareholders being asked to vote for board members now?

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, a fund’s board is required to hold a shareholder meeting for the purpose of electing board members if less than a majority of the board’s members were elected by shareholders. Additionally, under the 1940 Act, a fund’s board may fill vacancies by appointment only so long as, after the board fills the vacancy, at least two-thirds of the board members were elected by shareholders. In light of planned retirements and resignations, by year-end, less than a majority of CGETOP’s board will have been elected by shareholders. Accordingly, CGETOP is required to hold a shareholder meeting to elect trustees at this time. Additionally, by electing board members now, each of the other funds’ boards will be able to add new members for a longer period without the expense of conducting additional shareholder meetings.

How do shareholders vote?

Shareholders and/or their representatives will receive either a complete kit containing the full proxy statement and ballot or a notice outlining the proposal and informing shareholders how to access more detailed proxy and voting material. Shareholders with multiple accounts may receive multiple mailings. In this case, shareholders should vote all ballots they receive.

The board of each fund believes that election of the proposed board member slate is in the best interests of shareholders and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote ‘FOR’ each of the nominees.

We want to hear from shareholders

Shareholder participation in this proxy vote is key. We encourage shareholders and/or their representatives to read the materials they have received, as they contain important information regarding the proposal. We appreciate your support in encouraging shareholders and/or their representatives to vote promptly on this important measure.

If you have questions or need additional details, please directly contact your Relationship Manager.

Thank you for your continued support of American Funds and Capital Group.
