JOINT PROXY STATEMENT

The board of directors (the “Board”) of each of DNP Select Income Fund Inc. (“DNP”), Duff & Phelps Utility and Infrastructure Fund Inc. (“DPG”) and DTF Tax-Free Income 2028 Term Fund Inc. (“DTF” and, together with DNP and DPG, the “Funds” and each a “Fund”) is soliciting proxies from the shareholders of each Fund for use at the joint annual meeting of shareholders to be held on Monday, March 11, 2024 and at any adjournment or postponement of that meeting. A proxy may be revoked at any time before it is voted, either by voting at the meeting or by written notice to the applicable Fund or delivery of a later-dated proxy.

The meeting is scheduled as a joint meeting of the respective shareholders of the Funds because the shareholders of each Fund are expected to consider and vote on similar matters. The Board has determined that the use of a joint proxy statement for the meeting is in the best interest of the shareholders of each Fund. In the event that any shareholder of a Fund virtually present at the meeting objects to the holding of a joint meeting, raises a reasonable basis for the objection, and moves for an adjournment of such Fund’s meeting to a time immediately after the meeting, so that such Fund’s meeting may be held separately, the persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment. Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately on each of the proposals relating to their respective Fund, and an unfavorable vote on a proposal by the shareholders of one Fund will not affect the implementation by the other Fund of such proposal if the shareholders of such other Fund approve the proposal.

Summary of Proposals to Be Voted Upon

Proposal		Fund and Classes of Shareholders Entitled to Vote

A plurality of votes cast at the meeting by the holders of DNP preferred stock as to the director representing the preferred stock is necessary to elect that director. Abstentions and broker-non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the meeting, but will not affect the determination of whether a director candidate has received a plurality of votes cast.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board believes that the most appropriate leadership structure for the Funds is for the Chair of the Board to be an independent director, in order to provide strong, independent oversight of each Fund’s management and affairs, including each Fund’s risk management function. Accordingly, while the Chief Executive Officer of the Funds may be elected to serve on the Board, he or she will not normally be eligible to serve as Chair of the Board. The independent Chair of the Board presides at meetings of the shareholders, meetings of the Board and meetings of independent directors. In addition, the independent Chair of the Board takes part in the meetings and deliberations of all committees of the Board, facilitates communication among directors and communication between the Board and the Funds’ management and is available for consultation with the Funds’ management between Board meetings. The Board has four standing committees, which are described below: the executive committee, the audit committee, the contracts committee, and the nominating and governance committee.

9

The executive committee of the Board is currently comprised of Mr. Vitale (Chair), Mr. Burke, Ms. McNamara and Ms. Moran, and has authority, with certain exceptions, to exercise the powers of the Board between Board meetings.

The audit committee of the Board is currently comprised of all independent directors of the Funds (Mr. Burke, Chair) and makes recommendations regarding the selection of each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm and meets with representatives of that accounting firm to determine the scope of and review the results of each audit and assists the Board in overseeing each Fund’s accounting, auditing, financial reporting and internal control functions.

The contracts committee of the Board is currently comprised of all independent directors of the Funds (Ms. Moran, Chair) and makes recommendations regarding each Fund’s contractual arrangements for investment management and administrative services, including the terms and conditions of such contracts.

The nominating and governance committee of the Board is currently comprised of all independent directors of the Funds (Ms. McNamara, Chair) and selects nominees for election as directors, recommends individuals to be appointed by the Board as officers of the Funds and members of Board committees and makes recommendations regarding other Fund governance and Board administration matters. The committee also oversees the Board’s continuing education program, which includes quarterly presentations for directors covering a variety of topics, including, among other topics, (i) the industries and types of investments in which the Funds invests, (ii) investment techniques utilized by the Funds, (iii) current developments in securities law and the mutual fund industry, (iv) best practices in corporate and mutual fund governance and (v) enterprise risk management, cybersecurity, and other emerging issues.

In addition to the four standing committees, the DNP Board also has a special committee called the ATM committee, which is comprised of the members of the executive committee of the DNP Board (Mr. Vitale (Chair), Mr. Burke, Ms. McNamara and Ms. Moran) and is responsible for certain oversight functions in connection with DNP’s ongoing “at-the-market” (“ATM”) offering program.

During DNP’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, the DNP Board met four times and acted once by written consent; the DNP audit committee met two times; the DNP nominating and governance committee met two times; the DNP contracts committee met two times; the DNP executive committee did not meet or act by written consent; and the DNP ATM committee did not meet or act by written consent. During DPG’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, the DPG Board met four times; the DPG audit committee met two times; the DPG nominating and governance committee met two times; the DPG contracts committee met two times; and the DPG executive committee did not meet or act by written consent. During DTF’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, the DTF Board met four times and acted once by written consent; the DTF audit committee met two times; the DTF nominating and governance committee met two times; the DTF contracts committee met two times; and the DTF executive committee did not meet or act by written consent. Each director attended at least 75% in the aggregate of the meetings of the Board and of the committees on which he or she served.

Risk Oversight. The audit committee charter provides that the audit committee is responsible for discussing with management the guidelines and policies that govern the process by which management assesses and manages each Fund’s major financial risk exposures. The contracts committee charter provides that in assessing whether each Fund’s investment advisory agreement and administration agreement should be continued, the contracts committee is to give careful consideration to the risk oversight policies of the Adviser and each Fund’s administrator, respectively. In addition, the audit committee and the full Board receive periodic reports on enterprise risk management from the chief risk officer of the Adviser.

10

Nomination of Directors. The nominating and governance committee acts under a written charter that was most recently amended on December 17, 2020. A copy of the charter is available on each Fund’s website at www.dpimc.com/dnp, www.dpimc.com/dpg and www.dpimc.com/dtf and in print to any shareholder who requests it. None of the members of the nominating and governance committee are “interested persons” of the Funds as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act. In identifying potential director nominees, the nominating and governance committee considers candidates recommended by one or more of the following sources: the Funds’ current directors, the Funds’ officers, the Funds’ shareholders and any other source the committee deems appropriate. The committee may, but is not required to, retain a third-party search firm at the Funds’ expense to identify potential candidates. Shareholders wishing to recommend candidates to the nominating and governance committee should submit such recommendations to the Secretary of the Funds, who will forward the recommendations to the committee for consideration. See also “Shareholder Proposals and Nominations” under “Other Information” below.

Criteria for Director Nominations. The goal of the Funds is to have a board of directors comprising individuals with a diversity of business, educational and life experiences (including, without limitation, with respect to accounting and finance, business and strategic judgment, investment management and financial markets, and knowledge of the industries in which the Funds invest) that will enable them to constructively review, advise and guide management of the Funds. The annual Board self-evaluation process includes consideration of whether the Board’s composition represents an appropriate balance of skills and diversity for the Funds’ needs. In evaluating potential director nominees, including nominees recommended by shareholders, the nominating and governance committee considers such qualifications and skills as it deems relevant but does not have any specific minimum qualifications that must be met by a nominee. The committee considers, among other things:

• the extent to which the candidate’s business, educational and life experiences will add to the diversity of the Board;

• whether the candidate will qualify as a director who is not an “interested person” of the Funds;

• the absence of any real or apparent conflict of interest that would interfere with the candidate’s ability to act in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders;

• the contribution that the candidate can make to the Board by virtue of his or her education, business experience and financial expertise;

• the interplay of the candidate’s skills and experience with the skills and experience of other Board members;

• whether the candidate is willing to commit the time necessary to attend meetings and fulfill the responsibilities of a director; and

• the candidate’s personality traits, including integrity, independence, leadership, sound business judgment and the ability to work effectively with the other members of the Board.

With respect to the renomination of incumbent directors, past service to the Board is also considered.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. In selecting nominees for the position of director, and in appointing officers of the Funds, the nominating and governance committee is required by its charter to consider and seek out candidates who are women or members of racial or ethnic minority groups in order to help promote diversity, equity and inclusion among the members of the Board and the officers of the Funds.

11

Retirement Policy. The bylaws of the Funds establish a mandatory retirement age of 78 for directors of the Funds. Specifically, no person who has attained the age of 78 years is eligible for election or reelection as a director, and no incumbent director who attains the age of 78 years is qualified to continue serving as a director following the adjournment of the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders, and therefore his or her service on the Board will automatically terminate at such time. None of the director nominees or directors whose terms will continue after the annual meeting are 78 years or older as of the date of this proxy statement or will be 78 years or older as of the scheduled date of the annual meeting.

Officers of the Funds

The officers of the Funds are elected at the annual meeting of the Board held in connection with the annual meeting of shareholders. The officers receive no compensation from the Funds, but are also employees or officers of the Adviser or a Fund administrator, or are employees of an affiliate of the Adviser, and receive compensation in such capacities.

⁽¹⁾  Because each director serves as a director of each of DNP, DPG and DTF, directors receive a single set of fees as remuneration for their service to all three funds: (i) each director not affiliated with the Adviser receives a retainer fee of $90,000 per year; (ii) the chairs of the audit committee, contracts committee and

15

nominating and governance committee each receive an additional retainer fee of $8,000 per year; and (iii) the Chair of the Board receives an additional retainer fee of $50,000 per year. Directors and officers affiliated with the Adviser receive no compensation from the Funds for their services as such. In addition to the amounts shown in the table above, all directors and officers who are not interested persons of the Funds or the Adviser or affiliated with a Fund administrator are reimbursed for the expenses incurred by them in connection with their attendance at a meeting of the Board or a committee of the Board. The Funds do not have a pension or retirement plan applicable to their directors or officers.

⁽²⁾  Please refer to the table on the preceding pages for the number of investment companies in the Fund Complex overseen by each director. As noted in the table, in addition to DNP, DPG and DTF, Mr. Burke, Mr. McLoughlin and Ms. McNamara each respectively oversee 101 additional funds that are advised by affiliates of Virtus.

The Board of each of the Funds, including all of the independent directors, unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the election of the two nominees for director named above.

OTHER BUSINESS

Management is not aware of any other matters that will come before the meeting. If any other business should come before the meeting, however, your proxy, if signed and returned, will give discretionary authority to the persons designated in it to vote according to their best judgment.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.

Based solely on a review of the copies of Section 16(a) forms furnished to the Funds, or written representations that no Forms 5 were required, the Funds believe that during each Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year all such filing requirements were complied with, except that Timothy P. Riordan was late in filing a Form 3 with respect to DNP and DTF.

Report of the Audit Committee. The Funds’ independent directors comprise the audit committee of each Fund and act under a written charter which sets forth the audit committee’s responsibilities. A copy of the audit committee charter is available on each Fund’s website at www.dpimc.com/dnp, www.dpimc.com/dpg and www.dpimc.com/dtf and in print to any shareholder who requests it. Each of the members of the audit committee is independent as defined in the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. In connection with the audit of each Fund’s 2023 audited financial statements, the audit committee: (1) reviewed and discussed each Fund’s 2023 audited financial statements with management, (2) discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1, AU section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T, (3) received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountant

18

required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and (4) discussed with the independent accountant its independence from each Fund and its management. Based on the foregoing reviews and discussions, the audit committee recommended to the board of directors that each Fund’s audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report to Shareholders for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The 1940 Act requires that each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm be selected by the vote, cast in person, of a majority of the members of the Board who are not interested persons of the Fund. In addition, the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange vest the audit committee, in its capacity as a committee of the Board, with responsibility for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm. In accordance with the foregoing provisions, the firm of Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”) has been selected as independent registered public accounting firm of each Fund to perform the audit of the financial books and records of the Funds for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2024. A representative of Ernst & Young is expected to be present at the joint annual meeting of shareholders and will be available to respond to appropriate questions and will have an opportunity to make a statement if the representative so desires.

Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services. Each Fund is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm. As part of this responsibility, each Fund’s audit committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent accountant in order to assure that they do not impair the independent accountant’s independence from the Fund. Accordingly, each Fund’s audit committee has adopted a joint audit and non-audit services pre-approval policy (the “Joint Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy”), which sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services proposed to be performed by the independent accountant may be pre-approved. Each engagement of an independent accountant to render audit or non-audit services to a Fund must be either (i) a specific service pre-approved by the Fund’s audit committee or the chair of the audit committee, to whom the committee has delegated the authority to grant such pre-approvals between scheduled meetings of the committee, or (ii) come within the scope of a general pre-approval granted under the Joint Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy. As provided in the Joint Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval (i.e., the proposed services are pre-approved without consideration of specific case-by-case services by the audit committee), then the service will require specific pre-approval by the audit committee if the proposed service is to be provided by the independent accountant. As provided in the Joint Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy, any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts require specific pre-approval by the audit committee. In deciding whether to grant pre-approval for such services, the audit committee, or the chair of the audit committee acting under delegated authority, as the case may be, will consider whether such services are consistent with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission on auditor independence. Additionally, the audit committee, or the chair of the audit committee

19

acting under delegated authority, as the case may be, will also consider whether the independent accountant is best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient service, after considering a number of factors as a whole, with no one factor being necessarily determinative.

Each Fund’s audit committee is also required to pre-approve its accountant’s engagements for non-audit services rendered to the Adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. In deciding whether to grant pre-approval for such non-audit services, the audit committee or the chair of the audit committee, as the case may be, considers whether the provision of such non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of the Fund’s accountants.

Audit and Non-Audit Fees. The following table sets forth the aggregate audit and non-audit fees billed to each Fund for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by Ernst & Young. For purposes of this table, to the extent the amount of a fee for a pre-approved service is known as of the date of this report, such fee amount has been allocated to the fiscal year to which the applicable service relates, even in cases where the applicable Fund has not yet been billed for such service.

⁽¹⁾  Audit Fees are fees billed for professional services rendered by each Fund’s principal accountant for the audit of the Fund’s annual financial statements and for services that are normally provided by the accountant

20

in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements. For DNP, for the fiscal year ended 2023, such fees included $17,500 for services rendered in connection with the registrant’s registration statement for its public offering. For the fiscal year ended 2022 such fees included $50,000 for services rendered in connection with the registrant’s registration statement for its public offering.

⁽²⁾  Audit-Related Fees are fees billed for assurance and related services by each Fund’s principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Fund’s financial statements and are not reported under the caption “Audit Fees.”

⁽³⁾  Tax Fees are fees billed for professional services rendered by each Fund’s principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. In both years shown in the table, such services consisted of preparation of the annual federal and state income tax returns and excise tax returns for DNP and DTF. In the case of DPG, such services consisted of review of the Fund’s annual federal and excise tax returns and preparation and analysis of state income tax returns.

⁽⁴⁾  All Other Fees are fees billed for products and services provided by each Fund’s principal accountant, other than the services reported under the captions “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees” and “Tax Fees.”

⁽⁵⁾  Aggregate Non-Audit Fees are non-audit fees billed by each Fund’s accountant for services rendered to the Fund, the Adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund. During both years shown in the table, no portion of such fees related to services rendered by each Fund’s accountant to the Adviser or to any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund.

⁽⁶⁾  No portion of these fees was approved by the audit committee after the beginning of the engagement pursuant to the waiver of the pre-approval requirement for certain de minimis non-audit services described in Section 10A of the 1934 Act and applicable regulations.

Communications with the Board by Shareholders and Other Interested Persons. The Board has adopted the following procedures for shareholders and other interested persons to send communications to the Board. Shareholders and other interested persons may mail written communications to the full Board, to committees of the Board or to specified individual directors in care of the Secretary of the Funds, 10 South Wacker Drive, Suite 1900, Chicago, Illinois 60606. All such communications received by the Secretary will be forwarded promptly to the full Board, the relevant Board committee or the specified individual directors, as applicable, except that the Secretary may, in good faith, determine that a communication should not be so forwarded if it does not reasonably relate to the Funds or their operations, management, activities, policies, service providers, Board, officers, shareholders, or other matters relating to an investment in the Funds or is purely ministerial in nature. Each of the Funds’ directors is encouraged to attend the annual meeting of shareholders. All of the individuals who were directors of the Funds at the time of the March 6, 2023 joint annual meeting of the shareholders of the Funds were in attendance at that meeting.

Shareholder Proposals and Nominations. In order for any shareholder proposal or director nomination to be considered for inclusion in any Fund’s proxy statement and form of proxy for the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders, such proposal or nomination must be received by the Secretary of the Fund at the Fund’s principal executive offices no later than September 26, 2024. Under the circumstances described in, and upon compliance with, Rule 14a-4(c) under the 1934 Act, a Fund may solicit proxies in connection with the 2025 annual meeting which confer discretionary authority to vote on any shareholder proposals of which the Secretary of the Fund does not receive notice by September 26, 2024. Any notice of a shareholder proposal or director nomination must conform to the requirements in the Fund’s bylaws. Copies of the bylaws of any of the Funds may be requested from the Secretary of the Funds, 10 South Wacker Drive, Suite 1900, Chicago, Illinois 60606.

Solicitation of Proxies. Proxies will be solicited by mail. Proxies may be solicited by Fund personnel personally or by telephone, postal mail or electronic mail, but such persons will not be specially compensated for

21

such services. The Funds will inquire of any record holder known to be a broker, dealer, bank or other nominee as to whether other persons are the beneficial owners of shares held of record by such persons. If so, the Funds will supply additional copies of solicitation materials for forwarding to beneficial owners, and will make reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket costs. The Funds will bear the cost of the annual meeting and this proxy solicitation. Total costs for the annual meeting and proxy solicitation, including printing and mailing proxy materials, are estimated at $225,000, and will be charged to the respective Funds based on their proportion of shareholder accounts except where another alternative allocation methodology is deemed more appropriate. The Funds do not currently intend to retain any third-party solicitor to contact shareholders regarding this proxy solicitation or to incur any expenses for such a third-party solicitation.

Further Information About Voting and the Annual Meeting. A majority of the outstanding shares of each Fund entitled to vote at the annual shareholder meeting shall constitute a quorum for purposes of conducting business of the Fund.

The Board has fixed the close of business on December 8, 2023 as the record date for the determination of shareholders of each Fund entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the annual meeting. Shareholders of a Fund on that date will be entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted on for each share held.

Instructions regarding how to vote via telephone or the Internet are included on the enclosed proxy card. The required control number for Internet and telephone voting is printed on the enclosed proxy card. The control number is used to match proxy cards with shareholders’ respective accounts and to ensure that, if multiple proxy cards are executed, shares are voted in accordance with the proxy card bearing the latest date.

The annual meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of shareholders, which will be conducted exclusively by webcast. You are entitled to participate in the annual meeting only if you were a shareholder of the Funds as of the close of business on the record date, or if you hold a valid proxy for the annual meeting. No physical meeting will be held.

You will be able to attend the annual meeting online and submit your questions during the meeting by visiting https://meetnow.global/MVAY2LL. You also will be able to vote your shares online by attending the annual meeting by webcast.

To participate in the annual meeting, you will need to log on using the control number from your proxy card or meeting notice. The control number can be found in the shaded box.

If you are a registered shareholder, you do not need to register to attend the annual meeting virtually on the Internet. If you hold your shares through an intermediary, such as a bank or broker, you must register in advance in order to attend the meeting. To register to attend the annual meeting online by webcast you must submit proof of your proxy power (legal proxy) reflecting your holdings along with your name and email address to Computershare. You must contact the bank or broker who holds your shares to obtain your legal proxy. Requests for registration must be labeled as “Legal Proxy” and be received no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, 5 business days prior to the meeting date. You will receive a confirmation of your registration by email after we receive your legal proxy. Requests for registration should be directed to us by emailing an image of your legal proxy, to shareholdermeetings@computershare.com.

The online meeting will begin promptly at 1:00 p.m., Eastern Time. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time leaving ample time to connect to the virtual meeting. Please follow the access instructions as outlined in this proxy statement.

22

The virtual meeting platform is fully supported across MS Edge, Firefox, Chrome and Safari browsers and devices (desktops, laptops, tablets and cell phones) running the most up-to-date version of applicable software and plugins. Please note that Internet Explorer is no longer supported. Participants should ensure that they have a strong Wi-Fi connection wherever they intend to participate in the meeting. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time. A link on the meeting page will provide further assistance should you need it or you may call 1-888-724-2416 or 1-781-575-2748.

All shares represented by properly executed proxies received prior to the annual meeting will be voted at the annual meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon or otherwise as provided therein. If any other business is brought before the annual meeting, your shares will be voted at the proxies’ discretion. If you sign the proxy card, but do not fill in a vote, your shares will be voted “FOR ALL” of the nominees for director, in accordance with the recommendation of the Board.

Shareholders who execute proxy cards or record their voting instructions via telephone or the Internet may revoke their proxies at any time prior to the time they are voted by giving written notice to the Secretary of the Funds, by delivering a subsequently dated proxy (including via telephone or the Internet) prior to the date of the annual meeting or by virtually attending and voting at the annual meeting. Merely virtually attending the annual meeting, however, will not revoke a previously submitted proxy.

Annual Report. Each Fund will provide without charge to any shareholder who so requests, a copy of the Fund’s semi-annual and annual report for the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year. The semi-annual and annual reports for DNP and DTF are available by calling Baird toll-free at (833) 604-3163 and are also available on each such Fund’s web site at www.dpimc.com/dnp and www.dpimc.com/dtf. The semi-annual and annual report for DPG is available by calling Virtus Fund Services toll-free at (866) 270-7598 and is also available on DPG’s web site at www.dpimc.com/dpg.

General. A list of shareholders of each Fund entitled to be present and vote at the annual meeting will be available at the offices of the Funds, 10 South Wacker Drive, Suite 1900, Chicago, Illinois 60606, for inspection by any shareholder during regular business hours for ten days prior to the date of the meeting.

Failure of a quorum of shareholders of any of the Funds to be present at the annual meeting will necessitate adjournment of the meeting with respect to those Funds and will give rise to additional expense.

Your Fund Holdings: FUND DNP SELECT INCOME FUND INC. The following matters will be considered at the Meeting: 1a. Election of Director. The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the nominee to the Board of Directors identified in the Proxy Statement. Please refer to the Proxy Materials for further details on the proposal. YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT NO MATTER HOW MANY SHARES YOU OWN Common Questions about Notice and Access Why am I receiving a Notice of Internet Availability instead of a Proxy card and Proxy statement? Your fund has elected to utilize a distribution model authorized by the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2007. This model, known as Notice and Access, allows mutual funds and public companies to send you a Notice instead of a full set of printed proxy materials. As a shareholder, you can select the means by which you access those proxy materials. You can view the materials electronically via the Internet, or request a full set of printed materials for this Shareholder Meeting and all future meetings, or you can make that choice on a case by case basis. How do I access the materials, set my preference for future shareholder meeting materials and record my vote? On the front side of this Notice are easy to follow instructions on how to access Proxy materials electronically or request a full set of printed materials. Once you are on the website or ordering on the phone, you can also make your selection for future meetings. When you are ready to vote, electronic voting is available by Internet or Touch Tone Phone by using the Control Number and Security Code on the front of this Notice. The Touch Tone voting phone number is different from the ordering phone number and is displayed on the website. If you want to vote via Mail, you will need to request a paper copy of the materials to receive a Proxy Card and Return Envelope. If I request printed proxy materials, how long will it take for me to receive them? The SEC rule requires that the materials be sent via first class mail within three business days of receipt of your request.
