NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
December 2, 2015 has been adjourned until January 15, 2016
2:00 p.m. Central Time
To the Shareholders of the Bridgeway Large-Cap Growth Fund:
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) of the Bridgeway Large-Cap Growth Fund (the “Bridgeway Fund”), a series of Bridgeway Funds, Inc., has been adjourned to 2:00 p.m. Central time on Friday, January 15, 2016, at 20 Greenway Plaza, Suite 450, Houston, Texas 77046.
The Special Meeting is being held to consider an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Termination (the “Plan”) providing for the transfer of all of the assets of the Bridgeway Fund to the American Beacon Bridgeway Large Cap Growth Fund (the “AB Fund”), a newly created series of American Beacon Funds. The transfer effectively would be (1) an exchange of your Class N shares of the Bridgeway Fund for Institutional Class shares of the AB Fund, which would be distributed pro rata by the Bridgeway Fund to the holders of its shares in complete liquidation of the Bridgeway Fund, and (2) the AB Fund’s assumption of all of the liabilities of the Bridgeway Fund, as follows:
Bridgeway Large-Cap Growth Fund | à | American Beacon Bridgeway Large Cap Growth Fund |
Class N shares | à | Institutional Class shares |
Those present and the appointed proxies also will transact such other business, if any, as may properly come before the Special Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.
Holders of record of the Class N shares of common stock in the Bridgeway Fund as of the close of business on September 22, 2015, are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.
If the necessary quorum to transact business or the vote required to approve any proposal is not obtained at the Special Meeting or if a quorum is obtained but sufficient votes required to approve the Plan are not obtained, the persons named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card may propose one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting to permit, in accordance with applicable law, further solicitation of proxies with respect to the proposal. Any such adjournment would require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy. The persons designated as proxies may use their discretionary authority to vote as instructed by management of the Bridgeway Fund on questions of adjournment and on any other proposals raised at the Special Meeting to the extent permitted by the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including proposals for which timely notice was not received, as set forth in the SEC’s proxy rules.
