Additionally, except for the Conservative Allocation Strategy, Aggressive Growth Stock Fund and Total Return Bond Fund, under a manager of managers arrangement, the Adviser may enter into or materially modify a subadvisory agreement with an unaffiliated subadviser, subject to approval by the Board and certain other conditions, without requiring approval from the applicable Fund’s shareholders.
