Re: Proxy Solicitation Materials
Dear Valued Investor:
Enclosed you will find proxy materials in connection with the joint special meeting of shareholders of the Hartford Funds Family of Funds (the “Funds”). The meeting will be held virtually and currently is scheduled for October 21, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time).
The Funds initially mailed the proxy materials in September. We recently learned that, as a result of an error by a third-party vendor selected by certain financial intermediaries, there was a delay in processing the mailing to certain investors who have selected one or more of the Funds as investment options under variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies (“Contract Holders”). It appears that you were among the Contract Holders for which there was a delay in processing the mailing.
As a result of this delay, the Funds’ officers will take the necessary steps to adjourn the above-referenced shareholder meeting with respect to Hartford Series Fund, Inc. and Hartford HLS Series Fund II, Inc., which are the two trust-level entities offering Funds that are available as investment options to the Contract Holders under the variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies. For Hartford Series Fund, Inc. and Hartford HLS Series Fund II, Inc., the adjourned meeting will take place on Monday, November 2, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time). The enclosed proxy materials provides information regarding how to participate in the meeting.
If you have any questions, we encourage you to speak with your financial professional. Thank you for your continued selection of the Funds.
Sincerely,
Thomas R. Phillips
Deputy General Counsel
