Meeting of Shareholders Adjourned
PLEASE VOTE NOW
Dear Shareholder:
The meeting of shareholders for the HighMark Funds scheduled for Friday October 8, 2010 has been adjourned to Friday, October 29, 2010 with respect to certain proposals to allow shareholders more time to submit their voting instructions. We previously mailed you proxy materials relating to all proposals to be voted on at the meeting. This letter is being sent because you held shares in these Funds on the record date and we have not received your vote. Often shareholders believe their positions are too small to make a difference. That is not the case. Every vote matters and we appreciate you taking a few minutes to cast your vote.
