The Board of Trustees has approved the proposals and recommends you vote in favor of each of the proposals applicable to your Fund(s). ISS and Glass Lewis, two independent proxy advisory firms, have also issued favorable recommendations and recommend that shareholders vote in favor of the proposals.
You are an important shareholder and your vote is critical. The next shareholder meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, May 3, 2022, so your immediate participation is needed.
The Funds offer three easy methods for you to vote:
