Dear Shareholder:

We recently sent you proxy materials concerning an important merger proposal affecting your fund, which was considered at an Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the fund on May 8, 2023, at 2:00 p.m., Central Time. The Meeting has been adjourned to allow shareholders more time to vote. The Meeting will reconvene on June 23, 2023, at 2:00 p.m., Central Time. The Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only, which will be conducted online via live webcast. This letter was sent because you held shares in the fund on the record date and we have not received your vote.

THE FUND’S BOARD OF TRUSTEES RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL

YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT

Your vote is very important. We encourage you as a shareholder to participate in the fund’s governance by returning your vote as soon as possible. If enough shareholders fail to cast their votes, the fund may not be able to hold its Meeting or the vote on the merger or other proposals and will be required to incur additional solicitation costs in order to obtain sufficient shareholder participation. Because your vote is critical, our outreach to you will continue until there is sufficient voting.
