WE NEED YOUR VOTE BEFORE DECEMBER 21st!
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
Thank you for your investment in The Motley Fool Funds and your continued trust in our team. I apologize for reaching out multiple times over the past few weeks with Proxy Materials, but our Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Motley Fool Funds Trust is fast-approaching. It’s scheduled for December 21, 2016, and will include a vote on a very important matter related to the Funds. According to our latest records, we have not received your vote on this important matter. I urge you to vote as soon as possible! Your vote is critical, so that the Funds can hold the meeting as scheduled (and voting will make the mail stop, I promise). As of today, we only have about half of the votes that we need, so your vote is very important.
The Proxy Materials and Proxy Statement were previously mailed to your home (it’s a big stack of papers), and are also available online by going to: https://materials.proxyvote.com/Approved/MC5178/20161005/NPS_299588.PDF
HOW TO VOTE:
1. Online: Visit https://www.proxyvote.com and enter the control number that appears on the proxy card. Follow the on-screen prompts to vote.
2. By Mail: Return the executed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided so it is received by DECEMBER 20, 2016.
3. By Phone: Call the toll free touch-tone phone number 1-800-690-6903 anytime. Have your proxy card with control number available. Follow the touch-tone prompts to vote.
You can also speak to a proxy specialist by calling 1-855-601-2249, Monday – Friday, 9:00am – 10pm, Eastern time.
Both Internet and touchtone telephone voting are accepted up to 11:59 p.m. on December 20th.
On behalf of the Motley Fool Funds Team, thank you for placing your trust in us.
Sincerely,
