Dear Shareholder,
We have attempted to contact you regarding an important shareholder meeting pertaining to your investment in Optimum Funds and apologize for any inconvenience this matter has caused you.
However, we are trying to reach quorum for the shareholder meeting so we are asking that you cast a vote by the January 8, 2016 meeting date. You are one of the top shareholders within the Optimum Funds and your vote is very important.
The Optimum Funds board of trustees is recommending that shareholders vote in favor of the proposals being made at the shareholder meeting, but you can also vote against the proposals or abstain. This will help us reach quorum and allow the shareholder meeting to be held, avoiding the possibility of further cost and outreach to shareholders like yourself.
You can contact me directly at 855-928-4484 and I would be happy to assist you with casting your vote by phone. This matter is very important, but will take only a moment of your time.
Broadridge Financial Solutions has been engaged by Optimum Funds to contact you.
Thank you in advance for your assistance with this matter.
Sincerely,
Melissa Carlson
