Common Questions about Notice and Access
Why am I receiving a Notice of Internet Availability instead of a Proxy Card and Proxy Statement?
In connection with a portion of this proxy campaign, the Funds have elected to utilize a distribution model authorized by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") in 2007. This model, known as Notice and Access, allows 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 the Special Meeting and all future shareholder 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 the 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 Telephone by using the Control Number and Security Code on the front of this Notice. The Touch Tone phone number for voting 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 Proxy 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.

This model, known as Notice and Access, allows 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 the Special Meeting and all future shareholder 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 the 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 Telephone by using the Control Number and Security Code on the front of this Notice. The Touch Tone phone number for voting 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 Proxy 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.
