Change to Fiscal Year End of Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund

The Board of Trustees of Loomis Sayles Funds II has approved a change to the fiscal year end of Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund from September 30th to December 31st. The implementation of the change to the fiscal year end and the expected disposition and realignment of certain foreign currency-denominated positions over the next few weeks are likely to result in additional trading costs, increased realized capital losses and currency losses from the sales of portfolio securities, and increased audit, printing and mailing expenses for the Fund in the short term. Further, these changes are expected to reduce the future impact of

 

currency exchange losses on taxable monthly distributions and reduce the amount of currency-related losses available to offset future taxable ordinary income for Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund shareholders. Increased monthly income distributions going forward may result in an increased tax liability for shareholders who are subject to state and federal income taxes on their income distributions from the Fund.
