URGENT: YOUR VOTE IS CRITICAL
Dear Valued JP Morgan Shareholder:
I am writing today to ask for your help with the proxy campaign for JPMorgan Trust I and JPMorgan Trust II (the “Trusts”), which has been underway for the past few months. The Special Meeting of Shareholders for the Trusts that was held on October 27, 2021 has been adjourned to permit shareholders of the Trusts additional time to vote on the proposals set forth in the proxy statements.
The Board has approved the proposals and recommends you vote in favor of each one.
You are an important shareholder of the Trusts and your vote is critical. The next shareholder meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, November 23, 2021 so your immediate participation is needed.
There are three easy methods for you to vote:
VOTE ONLINE | VOTE BY MAIL | VOTE BY PHONE | ||
Visit www.proxyvote.com and enter the control number that appears on your enclosed proxy card. Follow the on-screen prompts to vote. | Return the executed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided so it is received before November 23, 2021. | Call 1-855-737-3175 Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. ET, to speak with a proxy specialist. OR If you have your proxy materials, call the number listed on your enclosed proxy card and follow the touch-tone prompts to vote. |
We truly appreciate your investment and regret any inconvenience as a result of this process. Thank you again for your help and support.
Sincerely,
