1 | Please see the footnotes to the line graphs below for definitions of, and further information about, the Russell 3000® Index. |
2 | Morningstar has assigned the Fund to the Morningstar Large Cap Value Funds Average peer group, however, the MLBFA is being used for comparison purposes. The Fund invests in both value and growth stocks and therefore the Fund's Adviser believes that the MLBFA is more reflective of the Fund's investment style. Please see the footnotes to the line graphs below for definitions of, and further information about, the MLBFA. |
3 | Small-cap stocks may be less liquid and subject to greater price volatility than large-cap stocks. |
4 | The Russell Microcap® Index measures the performance of the microcap segment of the U.S. equity market. Microcap stocks make up less than 3% of the U.S. equity market (by market cap) and consist of the smallest 1,000 securities in the small-cap Russell 2000® Index, plus the next 1,000 smallest eligible securities by market cap. The Russell Microcap® Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the microcap segment trading on national exchanges and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected and companies continue to reflect appropriate capitalization and value characteristics.* |
5 | The Russell 2000® Index measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. The Russell 2000® Index is a subset of the Russell 3000® Index representing approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of that index. It includes approximately 2000 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The Russell 2000® Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased small-cap barometer and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure larger stocks do not distort the performance and characteristics of the true small-cap opportunity set.* |
6 | The Russell Top 200® Index measures the performance of the largest cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. The Russell Top 200® Index is a subset of the Russell 3000® Index. It includes approximately 200 of the largest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership and represents approximately 68% of the U.S. market. The Russell Top 200® Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for this very large cap segment and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected.* |
7 | The Russell Midcap® Index measures the performance of the mid-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. The Russell Midcap® Index is a subset of the Russell 1000® Index. It includes approximately 800 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The Russell Midcap® Index represents approximately 31% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000® companies. The Russell Midcap® Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the mid-cap segment. The Russell Midcap Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure larger stocks do not distort the performance and characteristics of the true mid-cap opportunity set.* |
8 | The Russell 3000® Growth Index measures the performance of the broad growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 3000® Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 3000® Growth Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive, unbiased and stable barometer of the broad growth market. The Russell 3000 Growth Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are included and that the represented companies continue to reflect growth characteristics.* |
9 | The Russell 3000® Value Index measures the performance of the broad value segment of U.S. equity value universe. It includes those Russell 3000® Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The Russell 3000® Value Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive, unbiased and stable barometer of the broad value market. The Russell 3000 Value Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are included and that the represented companies continue to reflect value characteristics.* |
* | The index is unmanaged, and it is not possible to invest directly in an index. |

■ | Total returns shown for the Class C Shares include the maximum contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% as applicable. |
1 Year | 5 Years | 10 Years | |
Class A Shares | 14.15% | 11.06% | 7.80% |
Class C Shares | 18.91% | 11.46% | 7.57% |
Institutional Shares | 21.15% | 12.65% | 8.72% |
Class R6 Shares4 | 21.17% | 12.14% | 8.06% |
R3000 | 16.39% | 12.83% | 10.68% |
MLBFA | 14.60% | 11.39% | 9.60% |
1 | Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund after deducting applicable sales charges: for Class A Shares, the maximum sales charge of 5.50% ($10,000 investment minus $550 sales charge = $9,450); for Class C Shares a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge would be applied on any redemption less than one year from the purchase date. The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The R3000 and MLBFA have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends of securities. |
2 | The R3000 measures the performance of the largest 3,000 U.S. companies representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. The R3000 is constructed to provide a comprehensive, unbiased, and stable barometer of the broad market and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected. The index is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. The R3000 is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. |
3 | Morningstar figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all the funds designated by Morningstar as falling into the respective category indicated. They do not reflect sales charges. The Morningstar figures in the Growth of $10,000 line graph are based on historical return information published by Morningstar and reflect the return of the funds comprising the category in the year of publication. Because the funds designated by Morningstar as falling into the category can change over time, the Morningstar figures in the line graph may not match the Morningstar figures in the Average Annual Total Returns table, which reflect the return of the funds that currently comprise the category. |
4 | Prior to September 1, 2016, Class R6 Shares were known as Class R Shares and included 12b-1 fees and certain other expenses. As of September 1, 2016, Class R6 does not include such 12b-1 fees and certain other expenses, and the performance shown above for Class R6 prior to September 1, 2016, reflects the higher Class R expenses. |

1 | Except for Cash Equivalents and Other Assets and Liabilities, sector classifications are based upon, and individual portfolio securities are assigned to, the classifications of the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) except that the Adviser assigns a classification to securities not classified by the GICS and to securities for which the Adviser does not have access to the classification made by the GICS. |
2 | Represents cash collateral received for portfolio securities on loan that may be invested in affiliated money market funds, other money market instruments and/or repurchase agreements. |
3 | Cash Equivalents include any investments in money market mutual funds and/or overnight repurchase agreements other than those representing cash collateral for securities lending. |

MA50-70 | 7.08% | 6.55% | 6.62% |
1 | Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund after deducting applicable sales charges: for Class A Shares, the maximum sales charge of 5.50% ($10,000 investment minus $550 sales charge = $9,450); for Class C Shares, a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge would be applied on any redemption less than one year from the purchase date. The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The S&P 500, BAB and MA50-70 have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indexes. |
2 | The S&P 500 Index, a broad-based securities market index of the Fund, is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries. The S&P 500 is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. The S& P 500 is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. |
3 | The BAB Index, a broad-based securities market index of the Fund, is a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment-grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. The BAB is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. The BAB is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. |
4 | Morningstar figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all the funds designated by Morningstar as falling into the respective category indicated. They do not reflect sales charges. The Morningstar figures in the Growth of $10,000 line graph are based on historical return information published by Morningstar and reflect the return of the funds comprising the category in the year of publication. Because the funds designated by Morningstar as falling into the category can change over time, the Morningstar figures in the line graph may not match the Morningstar figures in the Average Annual Total Returns table, which reflect the return of the funds that currently comprise the category. |
5 | Prior to September 1, 2016, Class R6 Shares were known as Class R Shares and included 12b-1 fees and certain other expenses. As of September 1, 2016, Class R6 does not include such 12b-1 fees and certain other expenses, and the performance shown above for Class R6 prior to September 1, 2016, reflects the higher Class R expenses. |

2 | Morningstar has assigned the Fund to the Morningstar Large Blend Funds Average peer group, however, the MLGFA is being used for comparison purposes.

1 | Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund after deducting applicable sales charges: for Class A Shares, the maximum sales charge of 5.50% ($10,000 investment minus $550 sales charges = $9,450); for Class B Shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 5.50% on any redemption less than one year from the purchase date; for Class C Shares, a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge would be applied to any redemption less than one year from the purchase date. The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The R1000G and MLGFA have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities. |
2 | The R1000G measures the performance of the large-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000® Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The R1000G is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the large-cap growth segment. The R1000G is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are included and that the represented companies continue to reflect growth characteristics. The R1000G is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. The R1000G is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. |
3 | Morningstar figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all the funds designated by Morningstar as falling into the respective category indicated. They do not reflect sales charges. The Morningstar figures in the Growth of $10,000 line graph are based on historical return information published by Morningstar and reflect the return of the funds comprising the category in the year of publication. Because the funds designated by Morningstar as falling into the category can change over time, the Morningstar figures in the line graph may not match the Morningstar figures in the Average Annual Total Returns table, which reflect the return of the funds that currently comprise the category. |

3 | The Russell 3000® Index measures the performance of the largest 3,000 U.S. companies representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. The Russell 3000® Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive, unbiased and stable barometer of the broad market and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected.* |
4 | Small-cap stocks may be less liquid and subject to greater price volatility than large-cap stocks. |
5 | The Russell Microcap® Index measures the performance of the microcap segment of the U.S. equity market. Microcap stocks make up less than 3% of the U.S. equity market (by market cap) and consist of the smallest 1,000 securities in the small-cap Russell 2000® Index, plus the next 1,000 smallest eligible securities by market cap. The Russell Microcap® Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the microcap segment trading on national exchanges and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected and companies continue to reflect appropriate capitalization and value characteristics.* |
6 | The Russell Top 200® Index measures the performance of the largest cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. The Russell Top 200® Index is a subset of the Russell 3000® Index. It includes approximately 200 of the largest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership, and represents approximately 68% of the U.S. market. The Russell Top 200® Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for this very large cap segment, and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected.* |
7 | The Russell Midcap® Index measures the performance of the mid-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. The Russell Midcap® Index is a subset of the Russell 1000® Index. It includes approximately 800 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership.

■ | Total returns shown for Class C Shares include the maximum contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00%, as applicable. |
1 Year | 5 Years | 10 Years | |

MSBFA | 15.80% | 10.01% | 9.80% |
1 | Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund after deducting applicable sales charges: for Class A Shares, the maximum sales charge of 5.50% ($10,000 investment minus $550 sales charge = $9,450); for Class C Shares, a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge would be applied on any redemption less than one year from the purchase date. The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The R2000 and MSBFA have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities. |
2 | The R2000 measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. The R2000 is a subset of the Russell 3000® Index representing approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of that index. It includes approximately 2000 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The R2000 is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased small-cap barometer, and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure larger stocks do not distort the performance and characteristics of the true small-cap opportunity set. The R2000 is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. The R2000 is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. |
3 | Morningstar figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all the funds designated by Morningstar as falling into the respective category indicated. They do not reflect sales charges. The Morningstar figures in the Growth of $10,000 line graph are based on historical return information published by Morningstar and reflect the return of the funds comprising the category in the year of publication. Because the funds designated by Morningstar as falling into the category can change over time, the Morningstar figures in the line graph may not match the Morningstar figures in the Average Annual Total Returns table, which reflect the return of the funds that currently comprise the category. |
4 | The Fund's R6 Class commenced operations on June 29, 2016. It is anticipated that this class will have the lowest net expenses of all outstanding share classes. For the period prior to the commencement of operations of the R6 class, the R6 class performance information shown is for the Institutional Share class, adjusted to reflect the expenses of the Fund's R6 class for each period for which the Fund's R6 class gross expenses would have exceeded the actual expense paid by the Fund's Institutional Share class. |

■ | Total returns shown for Class C Shares include the maximum contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% as applicable. |
1 Year | 5 Years | 10 Years | |
Class A Shares | 16.73% | 13.84% | 10.30% |
Class C Shares | 21.54% | 14.28% | 10.09% |
Institutional Shares | 23.85% | 15.43% | 11.20% |
Class R6 Shares4 | 23.81% | 15.35% | 10.94% |

MSGFA | 22.76% | 11.55% | 10.96% |
1 | Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund after deducting applicable sales charges: for Class A Shares, the maximum sales charge of 5.50% ($10,000 investment minus $550 sales charges = $9,450); for Class C Shares, a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge would be applied to any redemption less than one year from the purchase date. The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The R2000G and MSGFA have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities. |
2 | The R2000G measures the performance of the small-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 2000® Index companies with higher price-to-value ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The R2000G is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the small-cap growth segment. The R2000G is completely reconstituted annually to ensure larger stocks do not distort the performance and characteristics of the true small-cap opportunity set and that the represented companies continue to reflect growth characteristics. The R2000G is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. The R2000G is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. |
3 | Morningstar figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all the funds designated by Morningstar as falling into the respective category indicated. They do not reflect sales charges. The Morningstar figures in the Growth of $10,000 line graph are based on historical return information published by Morningstar and reflect the return of the funds comprising the category in the year of publication. Because the funds designated by Morningstar as falling into the category can change over time, the Morningstar figures in the line graph may not match the Morningstar figures in the Average Annual Total Returns table, which reflect the return of the funds that currently comprise the category. |
4 | The Fund's Class R6 Shares commenced operations on June 29, 2016. It is anticipated that this class will have the lowest net expenses of all outstanding share classes. For the period prior to the commencement of operations of Class R6 Shares, the performance information shown is for the Fund's Institutional Shares adjusted to reflect expenses of the Class R6 Shares for each year for which the gross expenses of Class R6 Shares would have exceeded the actual expenses paid by Institutional Shares. |

(e)(1) Audit Committee Policies regarding Pre-approval of Services.
The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditor in order to assure that the provision of such services do not impair the auditor’s independence. Unless a type of service to be provided by the independent auditor has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.
Certain services have the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The term of the general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. The Audit Committee will annually review the services that may be provided by the independent auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee and may grant general pre-approval for such services. The Audit Committee will revise the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. The Audit Committee will not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor to management.
The Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to its Chairman. The Chairman will report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Committee will designate another member with such pre-approval authority when the Chairman is unavailable.
AUDIT SERVICES
The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees will be subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee must approve any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, registered investment company (RIC) structure or other matters.
In addition to the annual Audit services engagement specifically approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval for other Audit Services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide. The Audit Committee has pre-approved certain Audit services, all other Audit services must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES
Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee believes that the provision of Audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor, and has pre-approved certain Audit-related services, all other Audit-related services must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
TAX SERVICES
The Audit Committee believes that the independent auditor can provide Tax services to the Company such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor’s independence. However, the Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the independent auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee has pre-approved certain Tax services, all Tax services involving large and complex transactions must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
ALL OTHER SERVICES
With respect to the provision of services other than audit, review or attest services the pre-approval requirement is waived if:
(1) | The aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues paid by the registrant, the registrant’s adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant to its accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; |
(2) | Such services were not recognized by the registrant, the registrant’s adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and |
(3) | Such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee of the issuer and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee who are members of the board of directors to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee. |
The Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to those permissible non-audit services classified as All Other services that it believes are routine and recurring services, and would not impair the independence of the auditor.
The SEC’s rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of prohibited non-audit services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the prohibitions.
PRE-APPROVAL FEE LEVELS
Pre-approval fee levels for all services to be provided by the independent auditor will be established annually by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding these levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.
PROCEDURES
Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the independent auditor and the Principal Accounting Officer and/or Internal Auditor, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

(h) | The registrant’s Audit Committee has considered that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence. |
The registrant’s management and Audit Committee continue to believe that the registrant’s registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”), has the ability to exercise objective and impartial judgment on all issues encompassed within their audit services. EY is required to make a determination that it satisfies certain independence requirements under the federal securities laws. Like other registrants, there is a risk that activities or relationships of EY, or its partners or employees, can prevent a determination from being made that it satisfies such independence requirements with respect to the registrant, which could render it ineligible to serve as the registrant’s independent public accountant.
In its required communications to the Audit Committee of the registrant’s Board, EY informed the Audit Committee that EY and/ or covered person professionals within EY maintain lending relationships with certain owners of greater than 10% of the shares of the registrant and/or certain investment companies within the “investment company complex” as defined under Rule 2-01(f)(14) of Regulation S-X, which are affiliates of the registrant. EY has advised the Audit Committee that these lending relationships implicate Rule 2-01(c)(1)(ii)(A) of Regulation S-X (referred to as the “Loan Rule”). The Loan Rule prohibits an independent public accountant, or covered person professionals at such firm, from having a financial relationship (such as a loan) with a lender that is a record or beneficial owner of more than 10% of an audit client’s equity securities. For purposes of the Loan Rule, audit clients include the registrant, as well as all registered investment companies advised by advisory subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., the Adviser (for which EY serves as independent public accountant), and their respective affiliates (collectively, the “Federated Fund Complex”).
EY informed the Audit Committee that EY believes that these lending relationships described above do not and will not impair EY’s ability to exercise objective and impartial judgment in connection with the audits of the financial statements for the registrant and a reasonable investor with knowledge of all relevant facts and circumstances would conclude that EY has been and is capable of objective and impartial judgment on all issues encompassed within EY’s audits.
On June 20, 2016, the Division of Investment Management of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued a no-action letter to another mutual fund complex (see Fidelity Management & Research Company et al., No-Action Letter) related to similar Loan Rule matters as those described above (the “Letter”). In the Letter, the SEC Staff confirmed that it would not recommend enforcement action against an investment company that relied on the audit services performed by an independent public accountant where the Loan Rule was implicated in certain specified circumstances provided that: (1) the auditor has complied with PCAOB Rule 3526(b)(1) and 3526(b)(2); (2) the Loan Rule is implicated because of lending relationships; and (3) notwithstanding such lending relationships that implicate the Loan Rule, the auditor has concluded that it is objective and impartial with respect to the issues encompassed within its engagement as auditor of the funds. The circumstances described in the Letter are substantially similar to the circumstances that implicated the Loan Rule with respect to EY and the registrant. On September 22, 2017, the SEC extended the expiration of the Letter until the effectiveness of any amendments to the Loan Rule designed to address the concerns in the Letter. On May 2, 2018, the SEC proposed amendments to the Loan Rule, which, if adopted as proposed, would refocus the analysis that must be conducted to determine whether an auditor is independent when the auditor has a lending relationship with certain shareholders of an audit client at any time during an audit or professional engagement period.
Additionally, on July 18, 2018, EY informed the registrant that Rule 2-01(c)(1)(i)(A) of Regulation S-X (“Investment Rule”) also has been implicated since July 2, 2018. The Investment Rule prohibits public accounting firms, or covered person professionals and their immediate family members, from having certain direct financial investments in their audit clients and affiliated entities. EY informed the registrant that a pension trust of a non-US affiliated entity of EY had previously made, and as of July 18, 2018 maintained, an investment in a fund (“Hermes Fund”) managed by Hermes Alternative Investment Management Limited (“HAIML”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hermes Fund Managers Limited (“HFML”). The pension trust’s investment in the Hermes Fund involves the Investment Rule because an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Federated Investors, Inc. (an affiliate of the registrant’s adviser), acquired a 60% majority interest in HFML on July 2, 2018, effective July 1, 2018 (“Hermes Acquisition”). The pension trust first invested in the Hermes Fund in 2007, well prior to the Hermes Acquisition. The pension trust’s investment represented less than 3.3% of the Hermes Fund’s assets as of July 18, 2018. EY subsequently informed the registrant that EY’s affiliated entity’s pension trust had submitted an irrevocable redemption notice to redeem its investment in the Hermes Fund. Pursuant to the redemption terms of the Hermes Fund, the pension trust’s redemption would not be effected until December 26, 2018 at the earliest. The redemption notice could not be revoked by the pension trust. The redemption notice would only be revoked by HAIML, as the adviser for Hermes Fund, if, and to the extent, the pension trust successfully sold its interest in the Hermes Fund in a secondary market transaction. EY also informed the registrant that the pension trust simultaneously submitted a request to HAIML to conduct a secondary market auction for the pension trust’s interests in the Hermes Fund. In addition, the only voting rights shareholders of the Hermes Fund had under the Hermes Fund’s governing documents relate to key appointments, including the election of the non-executive members of the Hermes Fund’s committee, the appointment of the Hermes Fund’s trustee and the adoption of the Hermes Fund’s financial statements. The next meeting of the Hermes Fund at which shareholders can vote on the election of members to the Hermes Fund’s committee is not until June 2019, and the size of the pension trust’s investment in the Hermes Fund would not allow it to unilaterally elect a committee member or the trustee. EY does not audit the Hermes Fund and the Hermes Fund’s assets and operations are not consolidated in the registrant’s financial statements that are subject to audit by EY. Finally, no member of EY’s audit team that provides audit services to the registrant is a beneficiary of EY’s affiliated entity’s pension trust. Management reviewed this matter with the registrant’s Audit Committee, and, based on that review, as well as a letter from EY to the registrant dated July 26, 2018, in which EY indicated that it had determined that this matter does not impair EY’s ability to exercise objective and impartial judgment in connection with the audit of the financial statements for the registrant and the belief that a reasonable investor with knowledge of all relevant facts and circumstances would conclude that EY has been and is capable of exercising objective and impartial judgment on all issues encompassed within EY’s audit, the registrant’s management and Audit Committee made a determination that such matter does not impair EY’s ability to exercise objective and impartial judgment in connection with the audit of the financial statements for the registrant. On August 29, 2018, EY informed the registrant that EY’s affiliated entity’s pension trust sold its entire interest in the Hermes Fund, effective as of August 29, 2018.
If it were to be determined that, with respect to the Loan Rule, the relief available under the Letter was improperly relied upon, or that the independence requirements under the federal securities laws were not complied with regarding the registrant, for certain periods, and/or given the implication of the Investment Rule for certain periods, any of the registrant’s filings with the SEC which contain financial statements of the registrant for such periods may be determined not to be consistent with or comply with applicable federal securities laws, the registrant’s ability to offer shares under its current registration statement may be impacted, and certain financial reporting and/or other covenants with, and representations and warranties to, the registrant’s lender under its committed line of credit may be impacted. Such events could have a material adverse effect on the registrant and the Federated Fund Complex.
