Q&A
Important information to help you understand and vote on the proposals
Please read the full text of the enclosed proxy statement. Below is a brief overview of the proposals to be voted upon. Your vote is important. We appreciate you placing your trust in Fidelity and look forward to helping you achieve your financial goals.
What proposals am I being asked to vote on?
You may be asked to vote on the following proposals:
1. To continue the effectiveness of Article VII, Section 7.04 of the Trust Instrument.
2. To authorize the Trustees to adopt an amended and restated Trust Instrument.
3. To elect a Board of Trustees.
RETIREMENT MONEY MARKET: 4. To eliminate a fundamental investment policy of Retirement Money Market Portfolio.
5. To amend each fund's fundamental investment limitation concerning lending.
What is Article VII, Section 7.04 of the Trust Instrument? (Proposal 1)
Section 7.04 of Article VII allows shareholders to bring derivative action on behalf of the Trust only after making a pre-suit demand upon the Trustees to bring the subject action. A pre-suit demand on the Trustees is excused only if the majority of the Trustees have a personal financial interest in the action.
The Trustees seek to ensure that they retain the ability to manage the affairs of the funds, including control of derivative actions that are brought on behalf of the funds. This provision in the amendment will resolve any legal uncertainty by expressly stating that a Trustee shall not be deemed to have a personal financial interest or otherwise be disqualified from considering a pre-suit demand due to his or her service on multiple fund boards of trustees. Continuing the effectiveness of the amendment will not alter in any way the Trustees' existing fiduciary obligation to act with due care and in shareholders' interests.
Why are the funds proposing to adopt an amended and restated Trust Instrument? (Proposal 2)
The proposal asks shareholders to approve an increase in the Board of Trustees from a maximum number of twelve to a maximum number of fourteen. This increase, if approved, will allow the Board to better organize itself and its committees in overseeing management of Fidelity funds.
Adoption of the new Trust Instrument will not alter the Trustees' existing fiduciary obligations to act with due care and in the interests of shareholders, nor will it result in any changes in the investment policies described in each fund's current prospectus.
What role does the Board play? (Proposal 3)
The Trustees oversee the investment policies of the funds. Members of the Board are fiduciaries and have an obligation to serve the best interests of shareholders, including approving policy changes such as those proposed in the proxy statement. In addition, the Trustees review fund performance, oversee fund activities, and review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the funds.
Why is Retirement Money Market Portfolio eliminating a fundamental investment policy?
(Proposal 4:RETIREMENT MONEY MARKET FUND)
Changing the fundamental investment policy of the Retirement Money Market Portfolio will allow the fund to more clearly communicate its investment objective and investment strategies to shareholders by standardizing its investment disclosure in a manner consistent with other Fidelity funds with similar investment disciplines. If the proposal is approved, the fund will continue to invest in compliance with industry-standard requirements for money market funds for the quality, maturity, and diversification of investments. In addition, if the proposal is approved, the fund will continue to rely on its existing non-fundamental policy of normally investing in U.S. dollar-denominated money market securities of domestic and foreign issuers. Eliminating the fundamental investment policy is not expected to have any material effect on the way the fund is managed.
Why is each fund amending its fundamental investment limitation concerning lending?
(Proposal 5)
The primary purpose of this proposal is to revise the funds' fundamental lending limitation to conform to a limitation expected to become standard for all funds managed by FMR or its affiliates. Adoption of the proposed limitation on lending is not expected to affect the way in which the funds are managed, the investment performance of the funds, or the instruments in which the funds invest. However, the proposed limitation would clarify that acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other debt instruments are not considered lending.
Has the fund's Board of Trustees approved each proposal?
Yes. The Board of Trustees has unanimously approved all of the proposals and recommends that you vote to approve them.
How many votes am I entitled to cast?
As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value you own of a fund on the record date. The record date is May 20, 2002.
How do I vote my shares?
You can vote your shares by completing and signing the enclosed proxy card(s) and mailing it in the enclosed postage paid envelope. You may also vote by touch-tone telephone or through the Internet. Simply call the toll-free number or visit the web site indicated on your proxy card, enter the control number found on your card, and follow the recorded or online instructions. Please vote each card you receive. If you need any assistance, or have any questions regarding the proposals or how to vote your shares, please call Fidelity at 1-800-544-3198.
How do I sign the proxy card?
Individual Accounts: Shareholders should sign exactly as their names appear on the account registration shown on the card.
Joint Accounts: Either owner may sign, but the name of the person signing should conform exactly to a name shown in the registration.
All Other Accounts: The person signing must indicate his or her capacity. For example, a trustee for a trust or other entity should sign, "Ann B. Collins, Trustee."
