This notice presents only an overview of the more complete Information Statement. We encourage you to review all of the important information contained in the Information Statement. The Information Statement is for informational purposes only and, as a shareholder of the Fund, you need not take any action.

SUMMARY OF INFORMATION STATEMENT

In July 2020, it was announced that BrightSphere Investment Group Inc. (“BrightSphere”), Barrow Hanley’s then parent company, and Barrow Hanley, entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement with Perpetual US Holdings Company Inc., a subsidiary of Australian Financial Firm Perpetual Limited (“Perpetual”), pursuant to which Perpetual, through its subsidiary, agreed to purchase all of BrightSphere’s interests in Barrow Hanley (the “Transaction”). The Transaction closed on November 17, 2020.

Prior to the Transaction, Barrow Hanley served as an investment subadviser to the Fund pursuant to an investment sub-advisory agreement among Olive Street Investment Advisers, LLC (“Olive Street”), the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Barrow Hanley (the “Prior Sub-advisory Agreement”). The Transaction triggered a change in control of Barrow Hanley under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and, accordingly, in the assignment and automatic termination of the Prior Sub-advisory Agreement.

As discussed in greater detail in the Information Statement, at its quarterly meeting held on November 11-12, 2020, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) unanimously approved: (i) the re-appointment of Barrow Hanley as a subadviser to the Fund, and (ii) a new investment sub-advisory agreement among the Adviser, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Barrow Hanley, pursuant to which Barrow Hanley would serve as an investment subadviser to the Fund (the “New Sub-advisory Agreement”), each to be effective at the same time as the consummation of the Transaction. As such, the appointment of Barrow Hanley and the New Sub-advisory Agreement became effective on November 17, 2020.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued an exemptive order that permits Olive Street to enter into and materially amend sub-advisory agreements between Olive Street and unaffiliated investment subadvisers to the Fund with the approval of the Board. Although approval by the Fund’s shareholders is not required, a condition of this order requires Olive Street to furnish Fund shareholders with information about the subadvisers and the sub-advisory agreements.

BRIDGE BUILDER LARGE CAP VALUE FUND

INFORMATION STATEMENT

February 5, 2021

This information statement (the “Information Statement”) is being made available to the shareholders of the Bridge Builder Large Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Bridge Builder Trust (the “Trust”). This Information Statement relates to the approval by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) of a new investment sub-advisory agreement among Olive Street Investment Advisers, LLC (“Olive Street” or the “Adviser”), the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC (“Barrow Hanley” or the “Subadviser”), pursuant to which Barrow Hanley serves as an investment subadviser to the Fund (the “New Sub-advisory Agreement”).

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued an exemptive order that permits Olive Street to enter into and materially amend sub-advisory agreements between Olive Street and unaffiliated investment subadvisers to the Fund with the approval of the Board. Although approval by the Fund’s shareholders is not required, pursuant to a condition of this order, Olive Street is required to furnish Fund shareholders with information about Barrow Hanley and the New Sub-advisory Agreement.

THIS IS NOT A PROXY STATEMENT. WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

INTRODUCTION

Olive Street is the Fund’s investment adviser. Pursuant to the terms of an exemptive order granted to Olive Street and the Trust by the SEC on August 6, 2013 (the “Exemptive Order”), Olive Street employs a so-called “manager-of-managers” arrangement in managing the Fund. Section 15(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) generally requires that a fund’s shareholders approve all agreements pursuant to which persons serve as investment adviser or subadviser to the fund. The Exemptive Order exempts Olive Street and the Trust from the shareholder voting requirements of Section 15(a) of the 1940 Act and allows Olive Street, subject to Board approval and certain other conditions, to enter into and materially amend sub-advisory agreements on behalf of the Fund without a shareholder vote.

TERMINATION OF THE PRIOR SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

Prior to the consummation of the Transaction (defined below), Barrow Hanley had been serving as an investment subadviser to the Fund pursuant to an investment sub-advisory agreement among Olive Street, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Barrow Hanley (the “Prior Sub-advisory Agreement”).

In July 2020, it was announced that BrightSphere Investment Group Inc. (“BrightSphere”), Barrow Hanley’s then parent company, and Barrow Hanley, entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement with Perpetual US Holdings Company Inc., a subsidiary of Australian Financial Firm

3

Perpetual Limited (“Perpetual”), pursuant to which Perpetual, through its subsidiary, agreed to purchase all of BrightSphere’s interests in Barrow Hanley (the “Transaction”). The Transaction closed on November 17, 2020.

The Transaction resulted in a change in control of Barrow Hanley under the 1940 Act, resulting in the assignment, and automatic termination, of the Prior Sub-advisory Agreement. Section 15(a)(4) of the 1940 Act requires the automatic termination of an advisory contract when it is assigned. At its quarterly meeting held on November 11-12, 2020, the Board unanimously approved: (i) the re-appointment of Barrow Hanley as a subadviser to the Fund and (ii) the New Sub-advisory Agreement, each to be effective at the same time as the consummation of the Transaction on November 17, 2020.

The re-appointment of Barrow Hanley as subadviser to the Fund is not expected to result in an increase to the Fund’s expenses as the fees due to Barrow Hanley under the New Sub-advisory Agreement are the same as those under the Prior Sub-advisory Agreement. In addition, Olive Street has contractually agreed to waive its management fee to the extent management fees to be paid to Olive Street exceed the management fees the Fund is required to pay the subadvisers. If Olive Street determines to hire new subadvisers or reallocate the Fund’s assets in the future, the Fund’s expenses may change.

THE BOARD’S CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVING THE NEW SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

Pursuant to Section 15 of the 1940 Act, a fund’s advisory and sub-advisory agreements must be approved: (i) by a vote of a majority of the shareholders of the fund; and (ii) by a vote of a majority of the members of the board who are not parties to the agreements or “interested persons” of any party, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), cast at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

In July 2020, it was announced that BrightSphere, Barrow Hanley’s then parent company, and Barrow Hanley, entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement with Perpetual US Holdings Company Inc., a subsidiary of Australian Financial Firm Perpetual, pursuant to which Perpetual, through its subsidiary, agreed to purchase all of BrightSphere’s interests in Barrow Hanley.

At the time of the announcement, Barrow Hanley served as an investment subadviser to the Fund pursuant to an investment sub-advisory agreement previously approved by the Board, dated February 19, 2015, as amended and most recently renewed at a Board meeting held on May 19-20, 2020 (the “May 2020 Renewal Meeting”). Pursuant to its terms, the Prior Sub-advisory Agreement terminates automatically upon the closing of the Transaction.

Accordingly, at a meeting held on November 11-12, 2020 (the “November Meeting”), Olive Street proposed, and the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered and approved, a new investment sub-advisory agreement (the “New Sub-advisory Agreement” and together with the Prior Sub-advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”) among the Adviser, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Barrow Hanley, pursuant to which Barrow Hanley would continue serving as an investment subadviser to the Fund.

Pursuant to an exemptive order obtained by the Adviser and the Trust from the SEC, the Adviser is permitted, subject to certain conditions, to select new subadvisers for the Trust’s funds with the approval of the Board but without obtaining shareholder approval. In connection with its approval, the Board considered materials provided in advance of the November Meeting that detailed, among

4

other things, the terms of the Transaction, the post-Transaction ownership and compliance structure of Barrow Hanley, the financial strength of the Subadviser’s new parent company and the continuity of services expected to be provided by the Subadviser after the Transaction. The Board also considered the terms of the New Sub-advisory Agreement and noted that the terms of the New Sub-advisory Agreement were materially the same as those of the Prior Sub-advisory Agreement, including with respect to the services provided by the Subadviser. The Board further noted that the New Sub-advisory Agreement would go into effect at the same time as the consummation of the Transaction.

In considering whether to approve the New Sub-advisory Agreement, the Board determined that it was reasonable to take into account the materials and information presented to the Board at the May 2020 Renewal Meeting and at a Board meeting held via teleconference on May 5, 2020 (together with the May 2020 Renewal Meeting, the “May Meetings”).

The discussion immediately below outlines the materials and information presented to the Board in connection with the Board’s approval of the New Sub-advisory Agreement at the November Meeting, and the conclusions made by the Board when determining to approve the New Sub-advisory Agreement.

In connection with the annual review process and in advance of the May 2020 Renewal Meeting, the Adviser and the Subadviser provided information to the Board in response to requests for information by the Independent Trustees to facilitate the Board’s evaluation of the Prior Sub-advisory Agreement. The information furnished by the Adviser and Subadviser is included in materials describing, among other matters: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Subadviser; (ii) the Fund’s historical investment performance and the historical investment performance of the portion of the Fund’s portfolio (the “sleeve”) managed by the Subadviser; (iii) the Subadviser’s personnel, including portfolio managers; (iv) the investment practices and techniques used by the Subadviser in managing the sleeve of the Fund; (v) the Fund’s overall fees and operating expenses, compared with those of a category and a peer group of mutual funds; (vi) the sub-advisory fees payable to the Subadviser; (vii) the Subadviser’s compliance policies and procedures; and (viii) other “fall-out” benefits the Subadviser may receive based on its relationships with the Fund. At the May Meetings, representatives of the Adviser made presentations and responded to questions regarding services, fees, and other aspects of the Fund’s advisory relationships with the Adviser and the Subadviser. The Board also received similar information, including updated information since the May Meetings, at the November Meeting.

At periodic Board meetings over the course of the year prior to the May Meetings and the November Meeting, representatives of the Adviser furnished reports and other information to the Board regarding the investment performance of the Fund and the sleeve managed by the Subadviser, the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and the Subadviser, and compliance and operations matters related to the Trust, the Fund, the Adviser, and the Subadviser.

At the May Meetings and the November Meeting, the Board received advice from Fund counsel, and the Independent Trustees received additional advice from their independent legal counsel, including advice regarding the legal standards applicable to the consideration of approval of the Agreements. The Independent Trustees met in executive session outside the presence of the Interested Trustees, Trust officers and representatives of the Adviser and the Subadviser to discuss the Agreements and the services to be provided by the Subadviser.

5

In considering the approval of the New Sub-advisory Agreement, the Board considered various factors, as discussed in further detail below:

1. The nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Subadviser. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the sleeve of Fund by the Subadviser, including the Subadviser’s role in the day-to-day management of a sleeve of the Fund’s portfolio. The Board also evaluated the Adviser’s oversight of the Subadviser, which includes continuous analysis of, and regular discussions with the Subadviser about, the investment strategies and performance of the sleeve of the Fund’s portfolio allocated to the Subadviser, and periodic on-site and other meetings with the Subadviser.

The Board considered the Subadviser’s operations and resources devoted to supporting such operations, including how the Subadviser continues to service the sleeve of the Fund during the COVID-19 pandemic with no material disruptions. The Board considered the Subadviser’s ability to attract and retain qualified investment professionals and the experience and skills of management and investment personnel of the Subadviser. The Board also noted the compliance program and compliance experience of the Subadviser.

The Board considered that the Transaction is not expected to result in any material changes in the services that the Subadviser provides to the sleeve of the Fund nor any changes in the personnel providing portfolio management services to the sleeve of the Fund, the investment philosophy or investment and risk processes.

Based on the above factors, as well as those discussed below, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the Subadviser is capable of continuing to provide services of the nature, extent and quality contemplated by the terms of the New Sub-advisory Agreement.

2. Fees and Other Expenses. The Board noted that the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fees to the extent advisory fees payable to the Adviser exceed the sub-advisory fees paid to the subadvisers to the Fund, including Barrow Hanley for the management of its sleeve of the Fund. The Board noted that the Adviser may terminate this waiver arrangement without Board approval effective upon the end of the then current one-year period, by providing the Board written notice of such termination. The Board further noted that the Adviser has irrevocably agreed not to exercise its right to terminate the waiver arrangement upon the end of the current one-year period, resulting in the arrangement continuing until at least October 28, 2021. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees payable under the New Sub-advisory Agreement would remain the same as those payable under the Prior Sub-advisory Agreement.

Based on the above factors, as well as those discussed below, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the sub-advisory fees are reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered by the Subadviser.

3. The Fund’s Investment Performance Record. In each of its regular meetings, the Board receives information on the investment performance of the Fund, including net performance, relative ranking within the Fund’s Morningstar category and performance compared to benchmark index returns. At each quarterly meeting, members of the Adviser’s Portfolio Solutions Team reviewed with the Board the economic and market environment, risk management and style consistency in connection with management of the Fund. The Board considered the Fund’s investment performance over the one-year, three-year, five-year and since inception periods.

6

In connection with the May Meetings, the Board reviewed the investment performance of the Fund on an absolute basis and in comparison to the Fund’s benchmark index and Morningstar category and peer group as independently selected by Broadridge Financial Solutions (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of mutual fund industry data.

The Board observed that the Fund outperformed its peer group median and benchmark index for the one- and three-year periods ended March 31, 2020. The Board also reviewed the performance of the Subadviser’s sleeve of the Fund and noted that the sleeve underperformed its benchmark indices for the one- and three-year periods ended March 31, 2020.

The Board also reviewed more recent performance of the sleeve of the Fund managed by the Subadviser. The Board observed that Barrow Hanley underperformed its benchmark index and category average for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2020 and outperformed its benchmark index and category average for the quarter period ended September 30, 2020.

Taking into account the performance information referenced above and other performance information deemed relevant by the Board, the Board concluded that the investment performance generated by the Subadviser was generally satisfactory.

4. Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Board did not consider the profitability of the Subadviser to be a material factor, given that the Subadviser is not affiliated with the Adviser and, therefore, the fees were negotiated at arm’s length. Further, the Board was satisfied that the Adviser employed a rigorous sub-advisory fee negotiation process. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fee contained breakpoints that would reduce the fee rate on assets above certain specified asset levels. The Board noted that if the assets of the sleeve of the Fund increase over time, the Fund may realize economies of scale if assets increase.

5. Indirect Benefits. The Board considered that the Subadviser may derive a benefit to its reputation and standing in the investment community from its relationship with the Fund. The Board also noted that the Subadviser may use soft dollars generated from executing Fund portfolio trades to purchase research, which could be viewed as a fall-out benefit to the Subadviser to the extent the Subadviser uses the research generated from such trading activities across its client base.

CONCLUSION

In considering whether to approve the New Sub-advisory Agreement, the Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the May Meetings and the November Meeting, but also the knowledge gained regarding the Subadviser over time through previous interactions with the Subadviser.

Based on the Board’s deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above and other factors and information it believed relevant, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the New Sub-advisory Agreement. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors and information.

DESCRIPTION OF THE MATERIAL TERMS OF THE NEW SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

The New Sub-advisory Agreement is materially the same as the Prior Sub-advisory Agreement, as amended. Set forth below is a summary of all material terms of the New Sub-advisory Agreement. Although the summary below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the New Sub-advisory Agreement included as Exhibit A hereto, shareholders should still read the summary below carefully.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES

Subject to the supervision of the Board and the Adviser, the Subadviser shall manage the investments of a portion of the assets of the Fund allocated to the Sub-Adviser (the “Allocated Portion”) in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective, policies, and restrictions as provided in the Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, as currently in effect and as amended or supplemented from time to time and provided to the Subadviser, and in compliance with the requirements applicable to registered investment companies under applicable laws, including, but not limited to, the 1940 Act, the Commodity Exchange Act and the rules of the National Futures Association, and those requirements applicable to regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. From time to time, the Adviser or the Fund may provide the Subadviser with written copies of other investment policies, guidelines and restrictions applicable to the Subadviser’s management of the Allocated Portion, which shall become effective at such time as agreed upon by both parties. Subject to each of the foregoing sentences above, the Subadviser shall have full discretionary authority to manage the investment of the assets of the Allocated Portion, including the authority to purchase, sell, cover open positions, and generally to deal in securities, financial and commodity futures contracts, options, short-term investment vehicles and other property and assets comprising or relating to the Allocated Portion.

• as soon as practicable following the end of each calendar month, provide the Adviser and the Fund with written statements showing all transactions effected for its Allocated Portion during the month by the Subadviser, a summary listing all investments attributable to transactions of the Subadviser that are held in its Allocated Portion as of the last day of the month, and such other information as the Adviser or the Fund may reasonably request in connection with any accounting or marketing services that the Adviser provides for the Fund;

• to the extent reasonably requested by the Trust or the Adviser, use its best efforts to assist the Chief Compliance Officer of the Trust in respect of Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act including, without limitation, providing the Chief Compliance Officer of the Trust or the Adviser with (a) current copies of Barrow Hanley’s compliance policies and procedures in effect from time to time (including prompt notice of any material changes thereto), (b) reports of any violations to Barrow Hanley’s compliance policies and procedures that occurred in connection with the provision of services to the Fund, (c) a copy of Barrow Hanley’s annual compliance report as required by Rule 206(4)-7 of the Advisers Act, (d) copies of any correspondence between Barrow Hanley and a regulatory agency in connection with regulatory examinations or proceedings, and (e) upon request, a certificate of the Chief Compliance Officer of the Subadviser to the effect that the policies and procedures of the Subadviser are reasonably designed to prevent violation of the Federal Securities Laws (as such term is defined in Rule 38a-1);

• comply with all applicable policies and procedures adopted by the Board that are applicable to the Fund and any amendments to those procedures that are provided to Barrow Hanley by the Adviser or the Fund (“Board Procedures”) and notify the Adviser as soon as reasonably practicable upon (a) detection of any breach of such Board Procedures or (b) determination that a Board Procedure conflicts with a procedure adopted by Barrow Hanley;

• maintain a written code of ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) that it reasonably believes complies with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act, a copy of which will be provided to the Adviser and the Fund, including any amendments thereto, and institute and enforce procedures reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons (as defined in Rule 17j-1) from violating its Code of Ethics;

• promptly complete and return to the Adviser or the Trust any compliance questionnaires or other inquiries that are submitted to Barrow Hanley in writing;

• furnish to the Trustees such information as may reasonably be requested in order for the Board to evaluate the New Sub-advisory Agreement or any proposed amendments thereto for the purposes of approving the New Sub-advisory Agreement, the renewal thereof or any amendment thereto;

9

• upon request, review the Fund’s Summary Prospectus, Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, periodic reports to shareholders, reports and schedules filed with the SEC (including any amendment, supplement or sticker to any of the foregoing) and advertising and sales material relating to the Fund (collectively, the “Disclosure Documents”) in order to ensure that, with respect to the disclosure about Barrow Hanley, the manner in which Barrow Hanley manages the Fund and information relating directly or indirectly to Barrow Hanley (the “Subadviser Disclosure”), such Disclosure Documents contain no untrue statements of material fact and do not omit any statement of material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

INDEMNIFICATION

Barrow Hanley is obligated to indemnify and hold harmless the Adviser and the Fund from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities or damages (including reasonable attorney’s fees and other related expenses) (i) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Disclosure Document or the omission or alleged omission from a Disclosure Document of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case solely with respect to the Subadviser Disclosure; and (ii) resulting from the Subadviser’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in connection with the performance of the Subadviser’s obligations under this Agreement, or from the Subadviser’s reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the New Sub-advisory Agreement; provided, however, that the Subadviser’s obligation is reduced to the extent that the claim against, or the loss, liability or damage experienced by the Adviser, is caused by or is otherwise directly related to the Adviser’s own willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence, or to the reckless disregard of its duties under the New Sub-advisory Agreement.

The Adviser is obligated to indemnify and hold harmless the Subadviser from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities or damages (including reasonable attorney’s fees and other related expenses) resulting from the Adviser’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in connection with the performance of the Adviser’s obligations under the New Sub-advisory Agreement, or from the Adviser’s reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the New Sub-advisory Agreement; provided, however, that the Adviser’s obligation is reduced to the extent that the claim against, or the

10

loss, liability or damage experienced by the Subadviser, is caused by or is otherwise directly related to the Subadviser’s own willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence, or to the reckless disregard of its duties under the New Sub-advisory Agreement.

MAINTENANCE OF BOOKS AND RECORDS

Under the New Sub-advisory Agreement, the Subadviser is required to maintain separate books and detailed records of all matters pertaining to the securities and other assets advised by the Subadviser as required by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act (other than those records being maintained by Olive Street or the Fund’s other service providers) relating to its responsibilities under the New Sub-advisory Agreement, and is obligated to preserve such records for the periods and in the manner prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act.

REPORTING OBLIGATION

Barrow Hanley has an obligation to provide prompt notice to the Adviser and the Fund about developments relating to its duties as Subadviser of which it has, or should have, knowledge that would materially affect the Fund, including but not limited to material changes in the employment status of key investment management personnel involved in the management of the Fund, material changes in the investment process used to manage the Fund, any changes in senior management, operations, financial condition or ownership of the Subadviser’s firm, and the occurrence of any event that would disqualify the Subadviser from serving as an investment adviser of an investment company pursuant to Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act or otherwise. Barrow Hanley also has an obligation to immediately notify the Adviser and the Trust in the event that the Subadviser: (1) becomes subject to a statutory disqualification that prevents the Subadviser from serving as an investment adviser pursuant to the New Sub-advisory Agreement; or (2) is or becomes the subject of an administrative proceeding or enforcement action by the SEC or other regulatory authority (including, without limitation, any self-regulatory organization). In addition, Barrow Hanley has the obligation to immediately forward, upon receipt, to the Adviser any correspondence (or portion of such correspondence) from the SEC or other regulatory authority that relates to the Trust or the Fund.

DURATION AND TERMINATION

The New Sub-advisory Agreement was approved by the Board at the November Meeting for an initial term of two years and is scheduled to continue in effect for subsequent periods only so long as continuance is specifically approved at least annually in conformance with the 1940 Act; provided, however, that the New Sub-advisory Agreement may be terminated (a) by the Fund at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by the vote of a majority of the Board or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, (b) by the Adviser at any time, without the payment of any penalty, on not more than 60 days’ nor less than 30 days’ written notice to the Subadviser, or (c) by the Subadviser at any time, without the payment of any penalty, on 90 days’ written notice to the Adviser.

(f) Fund taxes, if any;

(g) except as stated below, expenditures 1n connection with meetings of the Fund’s shareholders and the Board;

The Sub-Adviser specifically agrees that with respect to the operation of the Fund, the Sub-Adviser shall be responsible for (i) providing the office space, furnishings, equipment and personnel reasonably necessary to provide its sub-advisory services to the Fund hereunder, and (ii) the actual, documented costs of any special Board meetings or shareholder meetings outside of the regular meeting schedules convened for the primary benefit of the Sub-Adviser, including, but not limited to, meetings scheduled due to changes in ownership of the Sub-Adviser, up to $20,000 per meeting for special Board meetings. Additionally, the Sub-Adviser agrees that the Sub-Adviser shall be responsible for reasonable expenses incurred by the Fund or Adviser in responding to a legal, administrative, judicial or regulatory action, claim, or suit involving the Sub-Adviser to which neither the Fund nor Adviser is a party. Nothing in this Agreement shall alter the allocation of expenses and costs agreed upon between the Fund and the Adviser in the Advisory Agreement or any other agreement to which they are parties.

6.                         SUB-ADVISORY FEES.

(a) Each Fund shall pay to the Sub-adviser, and the Sub-adviser agrees to accept, as full compensation for all services furnished or provided to such Fund pursuant to this Agreement a fee, based on the Current Net Assets of the Allocated Portion, as set forth in Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof. Such fee shall be accrued daily and payable monthly, as soon as practicable after the last day of each calendar month. In the case of termination of this Agreement with respect to the Fund during any calendar month, the fee with respect to the Allocated Portion

A-8

accrued to, but excluding, the date of termination shall be paid promptly following such termination. For purposes of computing the amount of sub-advisory fee accrued for any day, “Current Net Assets” shall mean the Allocated Portion’s net assets, managed by the Sub-adviser, as of the most recent preceding day for which the Fund’s net assets were computed. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the fact that the Agreement has not been terminated, no fee will be accrued under this Agreement with respect to any day that the value of the Current Net Assets of the Allocated Portion equals zero.

(b) The Sub-Adviser voluntarily may reduce any portion of the fees due to it pursuant to this Agreement. Any such reduction shall be applicable only to such specific reduction and shall not constitute an agreement to reduce any future compensation due to the Sub-Adviser hereunder.

7.                        PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS.

In connection with the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Fund, the Sub-Adviser is authorized to select the brokers or dealers that will execute purchase and sale transactions for the Allocated Portion’s portfolio (the “Portfolio”) and to use all reasonable efforts to obtain the best available price and most favorable execution with respect to all such purchases and sales of portfolio securities for said Portfolio. The Sub-Adviser may take into consideration, among other things, the best net price available; the reliability, integrity and financial condition of the broker-dealer; the size of and difficulty in executing the order; and the value of the expected contribution of the broker-dealer to the investment performance of the Fund on a continuing basis. The price to the Fund in any transaction may be less favorable than that available from another broker-dealer if the difference is reasonably justified by other aspects of the portfolio execution services offered. The Sub-Adviser shall maintain records adequate to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of this Paragraph. Such records shall be made available to the Fund or Adviser upon request.

In evaluating the best overall terms available, and in selecting the broker-dealer to execute a particular transaction, the Sub-Adviser may also consider the brokerage and research services provided (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Consistent with any guidelines established by the Board of Trustees of the Trust and Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act, the Sub-Adviser is authorized to pay to a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for the Fund which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if, but only if, the Sub-Adviser determines in good faith that such commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer — viewed in terms of that particular transaction or in terms of the overall responsibilities of the Sub-Adviser to its discretionary clients, including the Fund. In addition, the Sub-Adviser is authorized to allocate purchase and sale orders for securities to brokers or dealers (including brokers and dealers that are affiliated with the Adviser, Sub-Adviser or the Trust’s principal underwriter) if the Sub-Adviser believes that the quality of the transaction and the commission are comparable to what they would be with other qualified firms. In no instance, however, will the Fund’s assets be purchased from or sold to the Adviser, Sub-Adviser, the Trust’s principal underwriter, or any affiliated person of either the Trust, Adviser, the Sub-Adviser or the principal underwriter, acting as principal in the transaction, except to the extent permitted by the SEC and the 1940 Act.

A-9

The Adviser and the Fund authorize and empower the Sub-Adviser to direct the Custodian to open and maintain accounts for trading in securities and other investments (all such accounts hereinafter called “brokerage accounts”) for and in the name of the Fund. In addition, in connection with establishing such brokerage accounts, the Adviser and the Fund authorize and empower the Sub-Adviser to execute for the Fund as its agent and attorney-in-fact reasonable and customary customer agreements and other documentation in connection therewith, such as ISDA agreements and futures and options account agreements, with brokers, dealers, and/or futures commission merchants as the Sub-Adviser shall select as provided above. Subject to applicable law, including the custody requirements under the 1940 Act, the Sub-Adviser may, using such of the securities and other investments of the Fund as the Sub-Adviser deems necessary or desirable, direct the Custodian to deposit for the Fund original and maintenance brokerage and margin deposits and otherwise direct payments of cash, cash equivalents and securities and other property into such brokerage accounts and to such brokers or to a collateral account established with the Fund’s custodian as the Sub-Adviser deems desirable or appropriate and as is required by applicable law. The Sub-Adviser shall cause all securities and other property purchased or sold for the Fund to be settled at the place of business of the Custodian or as the Custodian shall direct. All securities and other property of the Fund shall remain in the direct or indirect custody of the Custodian, except as otherwise permitted by applicable law. The Sub-Adviser shall notify the Custodian as soon as practicable of the necessary information to enable the Custodian to effect such purchases and sales.

The Sub-Adviser further shall have the authority to instruct the Custodian (i) to pay cash for securities and other property delivered to the Custodian for the Fund, (ii) to deliver securities and other property against payment for the Fund, and (iii) to transfer assets and funds to such brokerage accounts as the Sub-Adviser may designate, all consistent with the powers, authorities and limitations set forth herein. The Sub-Adviser shall not have authority to cause the Custodian to deliver securities and other property, or pay cash to the Sub-Adviser except as expressly provided herein.

8.                         LIABILITY; STANDARD OF CARE AND INDEMNIFICATION.

The Sub-Adviser shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the discharge of its duties under this Agreement; shall (as provided in Paragraph 3 above) comply with the investment policies, guidelines and restrictions of the Fund; shall act at all times in the best interests of the Fund; and shall discharge its duties with the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of a similar enterprise. The Sub-Adviser shall be liable to the Fund and/or the Adviser for any loss (including brokerage charges) incurred by the Fund as a result of any investment made by the Sub-Adviser in violation of the first paragraph of Paragraph 3 hereof. The Sub-Adviser shall have responsibility for the accuracy and completeness (and liability for the lack thereof) only of Disclosure Documents furnished to the Sub-Adviser by the Adviser or the Fund, and only with respect to the Sub-Adviser Disclosure in such Disclosure Documents.

Except as set forth above, in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Adviser or the Fund for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security by the Fund, including, without limitation for any error of judgment, for any mistake of law, for any act or omission by the Sub-Adviser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, federal securities laws and certain state laws impose liabilities under certain circumstances

A-10

on persons who have acted in good faith, and therefore nothing herein shall in any way constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights which the Adviser or Fund may have under any federal securities law or state law.

The Sub-Adviser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Adviser and the Fund from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities or damages (including reasonable attorney’s fees and other related expenses) (i) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Disclosure Document or the omission or alleged omission from a Disclosure Document of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case solely with respect to the Sub-Adviser Disclosure; and (ii) resulting from the Sub-Adviser’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in connection with the performance of the Sub-Adviser’s obligations under this Agreement, or from the Sub-Adviser’s reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Sub-Adviser’s obligation under this Paragraph 8 shall be reduced to the extent that the claim against, or the loss, liability or damage experienced by the Adviser, is caused by or is otherwise directly related to the Adviser’s own willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence, or to the reckless disregard of its duties under this Agreement.

In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Adviser or Fund, the Adviser or Fund shall not be subject to liability to the Sub-Adviser for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security by the Fund, including, without limitation for any error of judgment, for any mistake of law, for any act or omission by the Adviser or the Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, federal securities laws and certain state laws impose liabilities under certain circumstances on persons who have acted in good faith, and therefore nothing herein shall in any way constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights which the Sub-Adviser may have under any federal securities law or state law.

The Adviser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Sub-Adviser from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities or damages (including reasonable attorney’s fees and other related expenses) resulting from the Adviser’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in connection with the performance of the Adviser’s obligations under this Agreement, or from the Adviser’s reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Adviser’s obligation under this Paragraph 8 shall be reduced to the extent that the claim against, or the loss, liability or damage experienced by the Sub-Adviser, is caused by or is otherwise directly related to the Sub-Adviser’s own willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence, or to the reckless disregard of its duties under this Agreement.

No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to protect any Trustee or officer of the Fund, or officer of the Adviser or Sub-Adviser, from liability in violation of Sections 17(h) and (i) of the 1940 Act.

The Sub-Adviser shall not be obligated to perform any service not described in this Agreement, and shall not be deemed by virtue of this Agreement to have made any representation or warranty that any level of investment performance or level of investment results will be achieved.

9.                        TERM AND TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT; NO ASSIGNMENT

(a) This Agreement shall become effective once all of the following have occurred: (i) approval by the Trust’s Board of Trustees; (ii) execution by the parties hereto; and (iii) the closing of the transaction pursuant to which Perpetual Limited will purchase BrightSphere Investment Group’s ownership interest in the Sub-Adviser the “Effective Date”). Pursuant to the exemptive relief obtained in the SEC Order dated on or about August 6, 2013, Investment Company Act Release No. 30592, approval of the Agreement by a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund is not required, and the Sub-Adviser acknowledges that it shall be without the protection (if any) accorded by shareholder approval of an investment adviser’s receipt of compensation under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act.

(b) This Agreement shall continue in effect for a period of more than two years from the date hereof only so long as continuance is specifically approved at least annually in conformance with the 1940 Act; provided, however, that this Agreement may be terminated with respect to the Fund (i) by the Fund at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by the vote of a majority of Trustees of the Trust or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, (ii) by the Adviser at any time, without the payment of any penalty, on not more than 60 days’ nor less than 30 days’ written notice to the Sub-Adviser, or (iii) by the Sub-Adviser at any time, without the payment of any penalty, on 90 days’ written notice to the Adviser. This Agreement shall terminate automatically and immediately in the event of its assignment, or in the event of a termination of the Advisory Agreement. As used in this Paragraph 9, the terms “assignment” and “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities” shall have the respective meanings set forth in the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, subject to such exceptions as may be granted by the SEC under the 1940 Act.

(c) In the event of a termination, the Sub-Adviser shall cooperate in the orderly transfer of the Fund’s affairs and, at the request of the Board of Trustees or the Adviser, transfer any and all books and records of the Fund maintained by the Sub-Adviser on behalf of the Fund.

(d) The Sub-Adviser shall promptly notify the Adviser of any proposed transaction or other event that could reasonably be expected to result in an “assignment” of this Agreement within the meaning of the 1940 Act.

10.                        SERVICES NOT EXCLUSIVE

The services of the Sub-Adviser to the Adviser and the Fund are not to be deemed exclusive and it shall be free to render similar services to others so long as its services hereunder are not impaired thereby. It is specifically understood that directors, officers and employees of the Sub-Adviser and of its subsidiaries and affiliates may continue to engage in providing portfolio management services and advice to other investment advisory clients. The Adviser agrees that Sub-Adviser may give advice and take action in the performance of its duties with respect to any of its other clients which may differ from advice given or the timing or nature of action taken with respect to the Fund. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require Sub-Adviser, its principals, affiliates, agents or employees to

A-12

purchase or sell for the Fund any security which it or they may purchase or sell for its or their own account or for the account of any other client.

11.                         AGGREGATION OF ORDERS

Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the combination of orders for the sale or purchase of portfolio securities of the Fund with those for other accounts managed by the Sub-Adviser or its affiliates, if orders are allocated in a manner deemed equitable by the Sub-Adviser among the accounts and at a price approximately averaged and if such combination of orders and the allocation thereof is consistent with applicable law. The Sub-Adviser agrees that (i) it will not aggregate transactions unless aggregation is consistent with its duty to seek best execution; (ii) over time, no account will be favored or disfavored over any other account; each account participating in an aggregated order will participate at the average share price for all transactions in that security on a given business day, with transaction costs shared pro-rata based on each account’s participation in the transaction; and (iii) allocations will be made in accordance with the Sub-Adviser’s compliance policies and procedures and applicable law. The Sub-Adviser also agrees to provide such documentation and/or information to the Fund or Adviser as is reasonably necessary to allow the Fund or Adviser to determine whether orders for the Fund have been aggregated and allocated equitably.

12.                         AMENDMENT

No provision of this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, and this Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing signed by all parties and only in accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

13.                        BOOKS AND RECORDS

In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the Sub-Adviser hereby agrees that all records which it maintains for the Fund are the property of the Trust and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Trust copies of any of such records upon the Fund’s or the Adviser’s request, provided, however, that Sub-Adviser may retain copies of any records to the extent required for it to comply with applicable laws. The Sub-Adviser further agrees to preserve for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act the records relating to its activities hereunder required to be maintained by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act and to preserve the records relating to its activities hereunder required by Rule 204-2 under Adviser for the period specified in said Rule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sub-Adviser has no responsibility for the maintenance of the records of the Fund, except for those related to the Allocated Portion.

14.                         NONPUBLIC PERSONAL INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY.

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Sub-Adviser hereto agrees on behalf of itself and its directors, trustees, shareholders, officers, and employees (1) to treat confidentially and

A-13

as proprietary information of the Fund (a) all records and other information relative to the Fund’s prior, present, or potential shareholders (and clients of said shareholders) and (b) any Nonpublic Personal Information, as defined under Section 248.3(t) of Regulation S-P (“Regulation S-P”), promulgated under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “G-L-B Act”), and (2) except after prior notification to and approval in writing by the Trust, not to use such records and information for any purpose other than the performance of its responsibilities and duties hereunder, or as otherwise permitted by Regulation S-P or the G-L-B Act, and if in compliance therewith, the privacy policies adopted by the Trust and communicated in writing to the Sub-Adviser. Such written approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by the Trust and may not be withheld where the Sub-Adviser may be exposed to civil or criminal contempt or other proceedings for failure to comply after being requested to divulge such information by duly constituted authorities.

Each party to this Agreement shall keep confidential all Confidential Information concerning the other party and will not use or disclose such information for any purpose other than the performance of its responsibilities and duties hereunder, unless the non-disclosing party has authorized such disclosure or if such disclosure is compelled by subpoena or is expressly required or requested by applicable federal or state regulatory authorities. The receiving party may disclose or disseminate the disclosing party’s Confidential Information to its employees and agents that have a legitimate need to know such Confidential Information in order to assist the receiving party in performing its obligations under this Agreement. The receiving party shall advise all such foregoing persons of the receiving party’s obligations of confidentiality and non-use under this Agreement, and the receiving party shall be responsible for ensuring compliance by such persons with such obligations.

Each party shall take commercially reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized access to the other party’s Confidential Information. In addition, each party shall promptly notify the other party in writing upon learning of any unauthorized disclosure or use of the other party’s Confidential Information by such party or its agents.

The term “Confidential Information,” as used herein, means any of a party’s proprietary or confidential information including, without limitation, any non-public personal information (as defined in Regulation S-P) of such party, its affiliates, their respective clients or suppliers, or other persons with whom they do business, that may be obtained by the other party from any source or that may be developed as a result of this Agreement and non-public financial information that is disclosed, directly or indirectly, to the other party by or on behalf of the disclosing party, whether in writing, orally or by other means and whether or not such information is marked as confidential. Confidential Information shall not include information a party to this Agreement can clearly establish was (a) known to the party prior to this Agreement; (b) rightfully acquired by the party from third parties whom the party reasonably believes are not under an obligation of confidentiality to the other party to this Agreement; (c) placed in public domain without fault of the party or its affiliates; or (d) independently developed by the party without reference or reliance upon the nonpublic information.

Each party acknowledges and agrees that due to the unique nature of Confidential Information there can be no adequate remedy at law for any breach of its obligations under this Paragraph 14, that any such breach or threatened breach may allow a party or third parties to unfairly compete with the other party resulting in irreparable harm to such party, and therefore, that upon any such breach or any threat thereof, each party will be entitled to appropriate temporary (until the matter may be resolved) equitable and injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction without the necessity of proving actual loss.

A-14

The provisions of this Paragraph 14 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

15.                         CERTIFICATIONS; DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Sub-Adviser acknowledges that, in compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), and the implementing regulations promulgated thereunder, the Trust and the Fund are required to make certain certifications and have adopted disclosure controls and procedures. To the extent reasonably requested by the Trust, the Sub-Adviser agrees to use its best efforts to assist the Trust and the Fund in complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and implementing the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures. The Sub-Adviser agrees to inform the Trust of any material development related to the Fund that the Sub-Adviser reasonably believes is relevant to the Fund’s certification obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

16.                         REPORTS AND ACCESS

To the extent not otherwise identified in this Agreement, the Sub-Adviser agrees to supply such other information and documentation to the Adviser and to permit such compliance inspections by the Adviser or the Fund as shall be reasonably necessary to permit the Adviser and the Fund’s service providers to satisfy their obligations and respond to the reasonable requests of the Trust.

17.                         COOPERATION WITH REGULATORY AUTHORITIES OR OTHER ACTIONS

The parties to this Agreement each agree to cooperate in a reasonable manner with each other in the event that any of them should become involved in a legal, administrative, judicial or regulatory action, claim, or suit as a result of performing its obligations under this Agreement.

18.                         NOTIFICATION

The Sub-Adviser agrees that it will provide prompt notice to the Adviser and Fund about developments relating to its duties as Sub-Adviser of which the Sub-Adviser has, or should have, knowledge that would materially affect the Fund, including but not limited to material changes in the employment status of key investment management personnel identified in the Fund documents as being involved in the management of the Fund, material changes in the investment process used to manage the Fund, any changes in the senior executive officers , operations, financial condition or material ownership of the Sub-Adviser’s firm, and the occurrence of any event that would disqualify the Sub-Adviser from serving as an investment adviser of an investment company pursuant to Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act or otherwise. The Sub-Adviser shall immediately notify the Adviser and the Trust in the event that the Sub-Adviser: (1) becomes subject to a statutory disqualification that prevents the Sub-Adviser from serving as an investment adviser pursuant to this Agreement; or (2) becomes the subject of an administrative proceeding or enforcement action by the SEC or other regulatory authority (including, without limitation, any self-regulatory organization). The Sub-Adviser shall immediately forward, upon receipt, to the Adviser any correspondence (or portion of such correspondence) from the SEC or other regulatory authority that specifically relates to the Trust or the Fund.
