c T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., has contractually agreed
(through April 30, 2022) to pay the operating expenses of the fund’s I Class excluding management
fees; interest; expenses related to borrowings, taxes, and brokerage; nonrecurring, extraordinary expenses;
and acquired fund fees and expenses (“I Class Operating Expenses”), to the extent the I Class Operating
Expenses exceed 0.00% of the class’ average daily net assets. The agreement may only be terminated
at any time after April 30, 2022, with approval by the fund’s Board of Directors. Any expenses paid
under this agreement (and a previous limitation of 0.05%) are subject to reimbursement to T. Rowe Price
Associates, Inc., by the fund whenever the fund’s I Class Operating Expenses are below 0.00%. However,
no reimbursement will be made more than three years from the date such amounts were initially waived
or reimbursed. The fund may only make repayments to T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., if such repayment
does not cause the I Class Operating Expenses (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed
the lesser of: (1) the limitation on I Class Operating Expenses in place at the time such amounts were
waived; or (2) the current expense limitation on I Class Operating Expenses.
d T.
Rowe Price Associates, Inc., has contractually agreed to waive and/or bear all the Z Class’ expenses
(excluding interest; expenses related to borrowings, taxes, and brokerage; nonrecurring, extraordinary
expenses; and acquired fund fees and expenses) in their entirety. T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., expects
this fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangement to remain in place indefinitely, and the agreement
may only be amended or terminated with approval by the fund’s Board of Directors.
Example This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000
in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods,
that your investment has a 5% return each year, and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
The example also assumes that any current expense limitation arrangement
remains
in place for the period noted in the table above; therefore, the figures have been adjusted to reflect
fee waivers or expense reimbursements only in the periods for which the expense limitation arrangement
is expected to continue. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions
your costs would be:
| | | | |
| 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | 10 years |
Investor
Class | $18 | $58 | $101 | $230 |
I
Class | 5 | 19 | 33 | 76 |
Z Class | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Effective
August 1, 2021, the disclosure under “The Management Fee” in section 2 of the prospectus will be
revised as follows:
The fund pays T. Rowe Price an annual investment management fee
of 0.05% based on the fund’s average daily net assets. The fund calculates and accrues the fee daily.
Prior to August 1, 2021, the fund paid T. Rowe Price an annual investment management fee of 0.06% based
on the fund’s average daily net assets.
With respect to the Investor Class, T. Rowe
Price has contractually agreed (through April 30, 2022) to waive its fees and/or bear any expenses (excluding
interest; expenses related to borrowings, taxes, and brokerage; nonrecurring, extraordinary expenses;
and acquired fund fees and expenses) that would cause the class’ ratio of expenses to average daily
net assets to exceed 0.21%. The agreement may only be terminated at any time after April 30, 2022, with
approval by the fund’s Board of Directors. Fees waived and expenses paid under this agreement (and
previous limitations of 0.21% and 0.25%) are subject to reimbursement to T. Rowe Price by the fund whenever
the class’ expense ratio is below 0.21%. However, no reimbursement will be made more than three years
from the date such amounts were initially waived or reimbursed. The fund may only make repayments to
T. Rowe Price if such repayment does not cause the class’ expense ratio (after the repayment is taken
into account) to exceed the lesser of: (1) the expense limitation in place at the time such amounts
were waived; or (2) the class’ current expense limitation.
The date of this supplement is July 12, 2021.
