Common Questions about Notice and Access
Why am I receiving a Notice of Internet Availability instead of a Proxy Card and Proxy Statement?
Your Fund(s) has elected to utilize a distribution model authorized by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in 2007. This model, known as Notice and Access, allows mutual funds and public companies to send you a Notice instead of a full set of printed proxy materials. As a shareholder, you can select the means by which you access those proxy materials. You can view the materials online, or request a full set of printed materials for this Shareholder Meeting and all future shareholder meetings, or you can make that choice on a case-by-case basis.
How do I access the materials, set my preference for future shareholder meeting materials, and record my vote?
On the front side of this Notice are easy-to-follow instructions on how to access proxy materials electronically or request a full set of printed materials.
When you are ready to vote, electronic voting is available by Internet or Touch Tone Phone by using the Control Number and Security Code on the front of this Notice. The Touch Tone voting phone number is different from the ordering phone number and is displayed on the website. If you want to vote via U.S. Mail, you will need to request a paper copy of the materials to receive a Proxy Card and Return Envelope.
You can set your delivery preferences for future shareholder meetings by recording your vote electronically and following the instructions on the confirmation screen.
If I request printed proxy materials, how long will it take for me to receive them?
The SEC rule requires that the materials be sent via first class mail within three business days of receipt of your request.
