IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT
| Q. | Why am I receiving this proxy statement? |
|---|
| A. | You are being asked to vote on one important matter affecting the Trust, the election of one (1) Class III Trustee. |
|---|
| Q. | Why am I being asked to vote? |
|---|
| A. | The Trust is required to hold an annual meeting of shareholders for the election of members of the Board. The Trust’s Board is divided into three classes, each class having a term of three years. Each year, the term of office for one class will expire and the Trustee(s) within that class or new Trustee nominees will be required to stand for election. For the Trust, the Class III Trustee’s term is currently up for election. Brian W. Wixted has been designated as a nominee for re-election as a Class III Trustee of the Trust. More information about the Trustee is available in the Proxy Statement. |
|---|
| Q. | Who can vote on this proposal? |
|---|
| A. | Shareholders of record at the close of business on January 17, 2025 of the Trust are able to vote. |
|---|
| Q. | Will the proposed individual be an Independent Trustees if re-elected? |
|---|
| A. | Class III Trustee Brian W. Wixted is currently an Independent Trustee and is expected to remain an Independent Trustee if re-elected by shareholders. |
|---|
| Q. | When will the proposed individuals take office? |
|---|
| A. | Class III Trustee Brian W. Wixted is currently a Trustee and is expected to continue serving on the Trust’s Board following re-election at the Annual Meeting. |
|---|
| Q. | What shareholder vote is required for the election of Trustees to the Board of the Trust? |
|---|
| A. | For the Trust, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be required to elect the Trustee nominees of the Trust, provided a quorum is present. A “majority of the shares” means the number of votes cast “FOR” a Trustee nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” that nominee. Broker non-votes will be excluded from the denominator of the calculation of the number of votes required to approve any proposal to adjourn a meeting. |
|---|
| Q. | How does the Board recommend that I vote? |
|---|
| A. | The Board recommends that you vote FOR the proposal for the election of the Trustee to the Board of the Trust as outlined in the Proxy Statement. |
|---|
| Q. | I have only a few shares — does my vote matter? |
|---|
| A. | Your vote is important. If many shareholders choose not to vote, the Trust might not receive enough votes to reach a quorum to hold the Meeting. If it appears that there will not be a quorum, the Trust would have to send additional mailings or otherwise solicit shareholders to try to obtain more votes. |
|---|
| Q. | What is the deadline for submitting my vote? |
|---|
| A. | We encourage you to vote as soon as possible to make sure that the Trust receives enough votes to act on the proposal. Unless you attend the Meeting to vote in person, your vote (cast by paper proxy cards as described below) must be received by the Trust for the Annual Meeting by 9:00 a.m. (Mountain Time). |
|---|
| Q. | How can I vote? |
|---|
| A. | You may vote in any of the following ways: |
|---|
| • | By mailing in your proxy card. |
| • | Vote via the telephone or via Internet in advance of the Meeting (follow the instructions on the proxy card). |
| • | In person at the Meeting at the principal executive offices of the Trust on March 10, 2025. |
| Q. | Who should I call if I have questions? |
|---|
| A. | If you have any questions regarding the proposal or the voting process, please call Computershare Fund Services at (888) 815-3880. |
|---|
| Q. | How should I sign the proxy card? |
|---|
| A. | You should sign your name exactly as it appears on the proxy card. Unless you have instructed us otherwise, either owner of a joint account may sign the card, but again, the owner must sign the name exactly as it appears on the card. The proxy card for accounts of which the signer is not the owner should be signed in a way that indicates the signer’s authority—for example, “Mary Smith, Custodian.” |
|---|
| Q. | Will the Trust pay for the proxy solicitation and related legal costs? |
|---|
| A. | The expenses incurred in connection with preparing the Proxy Statement and its enclosures will be paid by the Trust. |
