As the date//Confidential, For Use of the shareholder meeting approaches, we have not yet received the required votes on the two proposals below and are asking our clients to please vote their shares as soon as possible. Our records indicate that we have not yet received your vote.
·Amend the fundamental policy on commodities of nine funds
The proposed policy is intended to clarify the funds’ authority to enter into a variety of derivative transactions relating to commodities and would essentially “modernize” the current policy, which only discusses commodity-related futures and options. Under the proposed policy, the term “physical commodities” would be changed to “commodities,” but direct investments in commodities would still be prohibited. This change would align the funds’ policy on commodities with other T. Rowe Price funds.
· Reclassify the diversification status of ten sector funds from diversified to nondiversified
Sector funds tend to have more concentrated benchmarks with limited investable opportunity sets. The proposed change to each fund’s diversification policy will provide each sector fund with greater flexibility, but will not substantially affect the way each fund is managed.
YOUR FUND’S BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" EACH PROPOSAL
