[E-mail to Thompson Investment Management, Inc. clients who hold the Thompson IM Funds]
You should have recently received proxy materials from Thompson IM Funds relating to the special meeting of shareholders of the Thompson IM Funds being held on January 30th. We are reaching out to you to ask you toplease take a few moments right now to vote your shares following the instructions below. Voting your shares now will allow us to avoid having to contact you again regarding this matter.
How to Vote
You can vote in either of two easy ways:
| · | Sign the proxy card and return it in the postage paid envelope provided; |
OR
| · | follow the vote instruction on the proxy card to vote electronically. |
Why did I receive these proxy materials?
Although Thompson Investment Management is authorized to vote proxies on your behalf, it will not be doing so here. Because Thompson Investment Management will directly benefit from the approval of the New Advisory Agreement being considered at the meeting, we have elected to have our proxy voting authority for this meeting be reassigned to the individual holders of the Thompson IM Funds, such as yourself, to avoid any conflict of interest.
The Board of Directors of the Thompson IM Funds has concluded that approval of the New Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the shareholders of each Fund and unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the Proposal. A more detailed description of the Proposal may be found in the proxy material sent to you.
Your vote is very important.
We will be contacting you soon to confirm that you have submitted your proxy vote. Please feel free to respond to this e-mail with any questions or to let us know that you have voted or if you have any questions.
Thank you
