If the enclosed proxy card is properly executed and returned in time to be voted at the Meeting, the Shares represented thereby will be voted “FOR” the proposal listed in the Notice of Joint Annual Meeting of Shareholders, unless instructions to the contrary are marked thereon, and in the discretion of the proxy holders as to the transaction of any other business that may properly come before the Meeting. Any shareholder who has given a proxy has the right to revoke it at any time prior to its exercise either by attending the Meeting and voting his or her shares at the Meeting or by submitting a letter of revocation or a later-dated proxy to a Fund at the above address prior to the date of the Meeting.

The holders of one third of the Shares entitled to vote on any matter at the Meeting present at the Meeting or by proxy shall constitute a quorum at the Meeting for purposes of conducting business. If a quorum is not present at the Meeting, or if a quorum is present at the Meeting, but sufficient votes to approve any of the proposed items are not received, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. A shareholder vote may be taken on one or more of the proposals in this Proxy Statement prior to such adjournment if sufficient votes have been received for approval and it is otherwise appropriate. Any such adjournment will require approval of the Chairman, the Trustees or the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares present at the Meeting or by proxy. If a quorum is present, the persons named as proxies will vote those proxies that they are entitled to vote “FOR” any proposal in favor of such adjournment and will vote those proxies required to be voted “AGAINST” any proposal against such adjournment. A Fund may postpone or cancel its Meeting with respect to such Fund by making a public announcement of such postponement or cancellation prior to the Meeting. Notice of the date, time and place to which a Fund’s meeting is postponed with respect to such Fund shall be given not less than ten days prior to such date. Any postponed or adjourned meeting may be held as postponed or adjourned one or more times without further notice not later than 120 days after the Record Date (as defined below).

The close of business on February 16, 2024, has been fixed as the “Record Date” for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at each Fund’s Meeting and all adjournments thereof. The Record Date shall continue to apply to a Fund’s Meeting if postponed or adjourned, except if the Meeting is postponed or adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the Record Date, in which case a new record date will be determined. Any proxy statement received from a shareholder of record on both the Record Date and the new record date shall remain in full force and effect unless explicitly revoked by such shareholder.
