URGENT NOTICE |
Dear Shareholder,
Your investment in Emerald Growth Fund is in urgent need of your assistance. The special meeting of shareholders of the Fund originally scheduled for September 14, 2021 has been adjourned to October 14, 2021 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern time. Unfortunately, the Meeting was adjourned due to falling short of shares needed to be represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting. With that said, we will continue to contact shareholders, both over the phone or by mail, as we seek to obtain the number of votes necessary to hold the Meeting.
To date, the fund has not received the minimum number of shareholder votes required by law. We are reaching out again to respectfully reiterate how critical it is for you to vote your shares. Your vote is very important to our ability to hold the meeting.
Most assets in the Fund are held in retirement plans which is making it increasingly more difficult to accumulate voting as participants in these plans aren’t responding. Please do your part to help reach the required shares to hold the meeting and present the proposal.
PLEASE help us to avoid the cost of additional follow-up messages by casting your vote today. It is critical that we receive your vote response so that we may proceed with the important business of the Fund.
Cast your proxy vote today by phone. Call (877) 679-4107 for assistance, representatives are available to you Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern time.
Best regards,
Dawn Cotten
President of Financial Investors Trust
