If you were a record holder of Fund shares as of the Record Date of March 2, 2020 (i.e., you held Fund shares in your own name directly with the applicable Fund), you are entitled to notice of and to vote at your Fund's Annual Meeting and/or Special Meeting, as applicable (each a "Meeting"), or any adjournments, postponements or delays thereof. To participate in your Fund's Meeting, please email Georgeson, the Funds' proxy solicitor, at [email protected], provide your full name and address and include the relevant Fund name(s) in the subject line. Georgeson will then email you the conference call dial-in information and instructions for voting during your Fund's Meeting.
If you held your Fund shares in a brokerage account or through a bank or other nominee, in order to participate in and vote during your Fund's Meeting, you must first request and obtain a "legal proxy" from your broker, bank or other nominee reflecting the relevant Fund name(s), the number of Fund shares you held, as well as your name and email address. To participate in your Fund's Meeting, please forward an email from your intermediary containing the legal proxy or attach an image of the legal proxy, email it to Georgeson at [email protected] and put the relevant Fund names(s) and "Legal Proxy" in the subject line.

If you submit a properly executed proxy but do not mark how you wish your shares to be voted, your shares will be voted "FOR" each proposal, as applicable. The proxy card included with the previously distributed proxy materials will not be updated to reflect the change to a telephonic meeting and may continue to be used to vote your shares in connection with a Meeting. If your shares are held through a broker, you must provide voting instructions to your broker about how to vote your shares in order for your broker to vote your shares as you instruct at a Meeting.
