Hello, my name is < First Name, Last name > and I am calling regarding your investment in < The BofA Money Market Funds - Specific Fund Name >.
Proxy materials were recently sent to you regarding the upcoming shareholder meeting on March 31st. These materials included a shareholder letter and the applicable Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement complete with a question-and-answer section.
Bank of America Corporation has reached an agreement to transfer BofA Global Capital Management’s investment management responsibilities, to BlackRock®, Inc. (BlackRock). For the transaction to be completed shareholders of certain BofA Funds must approve the reorganization of each applicable BofA Fund into a corresponding BlackRock money market fund.
The BofA Funds’ Board is recommending a vote of yes for the proposal because it believes that approving the reorganizations is in the best interests of the funds’ shareholders.
BofA Funds |
| BlackRock Funds |
BofA Cash Reserves → |
| TempFund |
BofA Money Market Reserves → |
| TempFund |
BofA Government Plus Reserves → |
| FedFund |
BofA Government Reserves → |
| Federal Trust Fund |
BofA Treasury Reserves → |
| T-Fund |
If shareholders approve the reorganizations, the assets and certain liabilities of the applicable BofA Funds would transfer to the corresponding BlackRock funds, and the applicable BofA Funds would be dissolved. Investors currently in the affected BofA Funds would become shareholders in a corresponding BlackRock money market fund with a substantially similar strategy and investment objective. The reorganization is expected to occur during the early part of the second quarter of 2016.
If you would like to vote, we would direct you to the instructions provided in the proxy material package sent to you. If you do not have that information readily available, I can provide you with instructions now on how to register your vote.
