Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each of the Merging Funds will be separately merged with and into the Successor Issuer (the “Mergers”), at which time each Merging Fund will become a separate series of the Successor Issuer (each a “Series” and, collectively, the “Series”), succeeding to and continuing to operate the existing business of the respective Merging Fund.

Pursuant to Rule 257(b)(5) under the Securities Act, the Successor Issuer will be deemed to have assumed the duty to file reports pursuant to Rule 257(b) under the Securities Act with respect to all classes of securities issued by the Predecessor Issuers.
