Dear Shareholder:

We recently sent you proxy materials concerning an important proposal affecting your fund, which was considered a Meeting of Shareholders of the fund on January 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., Central Time. The Meeting has been adjourned to allow shareholders more time to vote. The Meeting will reconvene on March 19, 2026. This letter was sent because you held shares in the fund on the record date and we have not received your vote.

YOUR 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 your fund’s governance by returning your vote as soon as possible. If enough shareholders fail to cast their votes, a fund may not be able to hold its Meeting or the vote on the 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.
