URGENT NOTICE
SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER MEETING ADJOURNED
Dear Shareholder:
On December 16, 2016, a Special Meeting of Shareholders was held to vote on the important proposals that were outlined in the proxy materials that were mailed to you. Some of the funds in which you are invested did not have the required vote to pass the proposal. As a result, the meeting was adjourned with respect to your funds’ proposals in order to allow shareholders additional time to vote.
Your vote is still very important. By taking a moment to vote, all future mail and phone calls to you regarding this matter will be stopped.
| • | For personal assistance, call 1-888-916-1719 (toll free) between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday and between 12:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Eastern time on Saturday. | ||
By calling the toll-free number, you will be speaking with a representative of Computershare Fund Services, the firm assisting Calvert in the effort of gathering votes.
At the time of the call, you will be asked for the reference number above in order to locate your voting record for the funds that you own. The representative will not have access to your confidential information and the telephone line is also recorded for your protection. After the call, you will receive a confirmation of your vote by mail.
After careful consideration, the Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favor of each of the proposals.
We appreciate your voting. Thank you for investing with Calvert Investments.
Sincerely,
John Streur
