Hi [Client Name],
We recently announced a shareholder proxy for two of our funds, [Insert one or both Funds: JPMorgan US Research Enhanced Equity Fund and JPMorgan US Research Enhanced Large Cap ETF], to vote on a proposal to change the fund from a “diversified company” to a “non-diversified company” by eliminating the related fundamental investment policy (the “Proposal”) (see the attached supplement to the registration statements). In order to make this change, the shareholders have to approve this and the way you can do that is by casting your vote.
There are three ways to vote for the six accounts:
| 1. | Sign and date the attached card, PDF and send back to Jocelyn.mcbride@sodali.com and allie.shaw@sodali.com |
| 2. | Sign and date the attached card, take a photo and send to the email addresses above (see #1) |
| 3. | Call Sodali & Co, our proxy solicitation firm, and vote over the phone with a live rep from the VIP line: 1 888 394 3290 |
Please confirm whether you intend to submit your vote(s), and your expected timing for submitting.
If you have any questions, please let me know and I will connect you with the appropriate parties.
Best regards,
