To all:
If you own shares in one or more Lord Abbett Funds listed in the attached document, you should have received important proxy information in the mail this week. This proxy information is related to the following proposals for the Lord Abbett Funds’ Joint Special Meeting of Shareholders on November 5, 2015 at 9:00 a.m. at our offices:
| | 1. | To amend the Funds’ fundamental investment restrictions related to borrowing and lending, thereby allowing the Funds to participate in interfund lending; and |
| | | |
| | 2. | To ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for each Fund. |
The Board of Directors/Trustees of each Fund recommends that you vote “FOR” each of these proposals. Please be sure to read the full text of the attached joint proxy statement before voting. I strongly encourage you and any family members who own shares in the Funds to vote promptly via the Internet, by telephone, or by mail.
If you have any questions about the process or if you need a duplicate proxy card please contact the Product Management Team at:ProductMgmt@LordAbbett.com.
Thank you for investing in the Lord Abbett Family of Funds.
