Dear Valued Shareholder,
Our proxy solicitation firm, AST Fund Solutions, LLC (“AST”), recently contacted you regarding your investment in the AMG GW&K Small Cap Value Fund (formerly AMG Managers Skyline Special Equities Fund) (the “Fund”). At that time, you requested they do not contact you again by phone regarding this matter. We understand and respect your wishes to not be contacted via phone again by AST and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience these calls may have been.
Please be advised that, to date, the Fund has not received the minimum number of shareholder votes required by law to proceed with its important proposals (as outlined in the proxy materials previously mailed to you).
Unfortunately, we will need to continue to contact shareholders until we obtain the minimum number of votes necessary and are reaching out to you again, via this mailing, to respectfully reiterate how critical it is for you to vote your shares.
To vote, please call (800) 769-4414 between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, and provide the reference number listed below. The call will take less than two minutes of your time.

As detailed in the proxy materials, after careful consideration, the Board of Trustees of AMG Funds believes that the proposals are in the best interests of shareholders and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” each proposal. For more information, please refer to the proxy statement sent to shareholders on December 31, 2020, which can be found at https://vote.proxyonline.com/AMG/docs/GWK_SmallCapValueFund.pdf.
