Important Information Regarding an Upcoming Shareholder Proxy
As a shareholder in one or more Series of the Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”), you will be receiving a proxy statement in the coming days regarding a shareholder meeting on August 19, 2022 to consider a proposal to elect Directors to the Board of Directors of the Fund, and a second proposal to approve a new investment advisory agreement for your respective Series between Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC and the Fund. If you are a shareholder of the Rainier International Discovery Series, you will also be asked to approve a new investment sub-advisory agreement between Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC and Rainier Investment Management, LLC as part of the second proposal.
As the meeting date nears, you may receive additional mailings or telephone calls from our proxy vendor asking you to vote your shares if you have not already done so. We wanted to provide you with advance notice of this in the event a representative from the Broadridge Proxy Services Center contacts you on our behalf. Should you have any questions regarding the proposals, please reach out to your Manning & Napier representative.
The proxy statement will be mailed on or about July 1, 2022 to all shareholders eligible to vote on the proposals, including shareholders who invest in the Fund through a separately managed account. Please read the proxy statement carefully when you receive it because it contains important information regarding the proposals. After reviewing this information, please vote by phone, internet, or mail. The proxy statement is also available here:
