JOINT PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
JOINT ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
To be Held August 3, 2023
INTRODUCTION
This Joint Proxy Statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Boards of Trustees (the “Board”) of each fund listed above (each a “Fund” and together the “Funds”). The proxies are to be voted at a Joint Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Funds, and all adjournments thereof (the “Meeting”), to be at 11 Greenway Plaza, Houston, Texas 77046-1173, on August 3, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time. The Meeting will be an annual meeting for each Fund. The approximate mailing date of this Joint Proxy Statement and accompanying proxy cards is on or about June 27, 2023.
Participating in the Meeting are holders of common shares of beneficial interest (the “Common Shares”) and, where applicable, the holders of preferred shares of beneficial interest (the “Preferred Shares”) of each Fund as set forth in Annex A to this Joint Proxy Statement. The Common Shares and the Preferred Shares of the Funds are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Shares.” The Board has fixed May 8, 2023 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of holders of Shares of each Fund entitled to vote at the Meeting.
The Common Shares of each of the Funds are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). The NYSE ticker symbol of each Fund and the amount of Common Shares and Preferred Shares outstanding as of the Record Date are shown in Annex A to this Joint Proxy Statement. Each Fund is a closed-end fund organized as a Delaware statutory trust.
The Meeting is scheduled as a joint meeting because the shareholders of the Funds are expected to consider and vote on similar matters. In the event that a shareholder of any Fund present at the Meeting objects to the holding of a joint meeting and moves for an
adjournment of the meeting of such Fund to a time immediately after the Meeting so that such Fund’s meeting may be held separately, the persons named as proxies will vote in favor of the adjournment.
If you have any questions about the information set forth in this Joint Proxy Statement, please contact us at the 24-hour Automated Investor Line at 1-800-341-2929, Option 1 or visit our website at www.invesco.com/us.
Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Meeting
This Joint Proxy Statement and a copy of the proxy cards (together, the “Proxy Materials”) are available at https://www.proxy-direct.com/inv-33297. The Proxy Materials will be available on the internet through the day of the Meeting.
Each Fund will furnish, without charge, a copy of its most recent annual report (and the most recent semiannual report succeeding the annual report, if any) to any shareholder upon request. Any such request should be directed to the Secretary of the respective Fund by calling 1-800-341-2929, or by writing to the Secretary of the respective Fund at 11 Greenway Plaza, Houston, Texas 77046-1173.
Only one copy of this proxy statement will be delivered to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the shareholders. Upon request, we will deliver a separate copy of this proxy statement to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of this proxy statement was delivered. Any shareholder who wishes to receive a separate proxy statement should contact their Fund at 1-866-456-7938.
The Proposal
The following summarizes the proposal concerning trustee elections to be presented at the Meeting and that the shareholders are entitled to vote upon (the “Election Proposal”). The Board unanimously approved the Election Proposal and recommends that shareholders vote in favor of the Election Proposal.
Proposal 1: Election of Trustees
The following table summarizes the Election Proposal concerning trustee elections to be presented at the Meeting and the shareholders entitled to vote.
Funds | Trustee Nominees for Election | Shareholders Entitled to Vote | ||||
Proposal 1(a) | VGM, VTN, VKQ, VMO, VVR, VKI, VCV, VPV, IQI, IIM and OIA | Beth Ann Brown Joel W. Motley Teresa M. Ressel | Common Shareholders and Preferred Shareholders, voting together | |||

Funds | Trustee Nominees for Election | Shareholders Entitled to Vote | ||||
Proposal 1(c) | VBF, VLT, IHIT and IHTA | Beth Ann Brown Anthony J. LaCava, Jr. Joel W. Motley Teresa M. Ressel | Common Shareholders |
Voting at the Meeting
Shareholders of a Fund on the Record Date are entitled to one vote per Share, and a proportional vote for each fractional Share, with respect to the Election Proposal, with no Share having cumulative voting rights. The voting requirement for the Election Proposal is described below. A majority of the outstanding Shares of a Fund entitled to vote at the Meeting must be present at the Meeting or represented by proxy to have a quorum for such Fund to conduct business at the Meeting.
If you intend to attend the Meeting in person and you are a record holder of a Fund’s Shares, in order to gain admission you must show photographic identification, such as your driver’s license. If you intend to attend the Meeting in person and you hold your Shares through a bank, broker or other custodian (i.e., in “street name”), in order to gain admission you must show photographic identification, such as your driver’s license, and satisfactory proof of ownership of Shares of a Fund, such as your voting instruction form (or a copy thereof) or a broker’s statement indicating ownership as of a recent date.
If you hold your Shares in “street name,” you will not be able to vote your Shares in person at the Meeting unless you have previously requested and obtained a “legal proxy” from your broker, bank or other nominee and present it at the Meeting.
You may contact the Funds at 1-800-341-2929, Option 2 to obtain directions to the site of the Meeting.
The Funds do not know of any business other than the Election Proposal that will, or is proposed to be, presented for consideration at the Meeting. If any other matters are properly presented, the persons named on the enclosed proxy cards shall vote proxies in accordance with their best judgment.
Required Vote
With respect to Proposal 1(a) for VGM, VTN, VKQ, VMO, VVR, VKI, VCV, VPV, IQI, IIM and OIA, holders of Common Shares and holders of Preferred Shares of each applicable Fund will vote together as a single class for the respective Nominees. The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding Shares of each such Fund present at the Meeting or represented by proxy and entitled to vote is required to elect each Nominee for Trustee of such Fund designated to be elected by the holders of the Common Shares and the holders of Preferred Shares of such Fund, voting together as a single class.
With respect to Proposal 1(b), for VGM, VTN, VKQ, VMO, VVR, VKI, VCV, VPV, IQI, IIM and OIA, holders of Preferred Shares of each applicable Fund will vote as a separate class for the Nominee. The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding
3
Preferred Shares of each such Fund present at the Meeting or represented by proxy and entitled to vote is required to elect the Nominee for Trustee of such Fund designated to be elected by the holders of the Preferred Shares of such Fund, voting as a separate class.
With respect to Proposal 1(c), VBF, VLT, IHIT and IHTA holders of Common Shares of each applicable Fund will vote for the respective Nominees. The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding Common Shares of each such Fund present at the Meeting or represented by proxy and entitled to vote is required to elect each Nominee for Trustee of such Fund designated to be elected by the holders of the Common Shares of such Fund.
All Shares represented by properly executed proxies received prior to the Meeting will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon. Proxies on which no vote is indicated will be voted “FOR” each Nominee as to which they are entitled to be voted. Proxies marked “WITHHOLD,” for a Nominee, which is the equivalent of an abstention, will not be voted “FOR” the Nominee, but will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, and will therefore have the same effect as a vote “against” the Nominee.
An unfavorable vote for a Nominee by the shareholders of one Fund will not affect the election of the Nominee by another Fund if the Nominee is approved by the shareholders of the other Fund. An unfavorable vote for a Nominee by the shareholders of a Fund will not affect such Fund’s election of Nominees that receive a favorable vote. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of Trustees or any other matter.
Broker Non-Votes
Broker non-votes arise when shares are held by brokers or nominees, typically in “street name,” and (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter.
Under the rules of the NYSE, brokers may vote in their discretion on the election of trustees of a closed-end fund. Accordingly, because there are no non-discretionary items to be voted on at the Meeting, the Funds do not anticipate receiving any broker non-votes. Under the rules of the NYSE, beneficial owners who do not provide proxy instructions or who do not return a proxy card may have their Shares voted by their brokers in favor of the Election Proposal. Broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries who are not members of the NYSE may be subject to other rules, which may or may not permit them to vote your shares without instruction.
We urge you to provide instructions to your broker or nominee to ensure that your votes may be counted.
Revoking a Proxy
Shareholders who execute proxies may revoke them at any time before they are voted by filing a written notice of revocation before the Meeting with the respective Fund, by delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, by attending the Meeting and voting in
4
person, by filing a revocation using any electronic, telephonic, computerized or other alternative means, or by written notice of the death or incapacity of the maker of the proxy received by the Fund prior to the Meeting. Shareholders who wish to vote at the Meeting and who hold their shares in “street name” through a brokerage or similar account should obtain a “legal proxy” from their broker in order to vote at the Meeting and follow the instructions detailed above.
Adjourning the Meeting
With respect to each Fund, the vote of the holders of one-third of the Shares cast whether or not a quorum is present, or the chair of the Meeting in his or her discretion, will have the power to adjourn the Meeting with regard to a particular proposal scheduled to be voted on at the Meeting or to adjourn the Meeting entirely from time to time without notice.
Provided a quorum is present, any business may be transacted at such adjourned meeting that might have been transacted at the Meeting as originally notified. A meeting may be adjourned from time to time without further notice to shareholders to a date not more than 120 days after the original meeting date for such meeting. In voting for the adjournment, the persons named as proxies may vote their proxies in favor of one or more adjournments of the Meeting, or the chair of the Meeting may call an adjournment, provided such persons determine that such adjournment is reasonable and in the best interests of shareholders and the Funds, based on a consideration of such factors as they may deem relevant.
THE BOARD OF EACH FUND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU CAST YOUR VOTE FOR ALL OF THE NOMINEES IN THE ELECTION PROPOSAL.
Investment Adviser of the Funds
The investment adviser for each Fund is Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser”). The Adviser is a wholly owned subsidiary of Invesco Ltd. The Adviser is located at 1331 Spring Street, NW, Suite 2500, Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.

THE PROPOSAL:
ELECTION OF TRUSTEES
With respect to each of Invesco Bond Fund, Invesco High Income 2023 Target Term Fund, Invesco High Income 2024 Target Term Fund and Invesco High Income Trust II, holders of Common Shares will vote with respect to the election of Beth Ann Brown, Anthony LaCava Jr., Joel W. Motley, and Teresa M. Ressel.
With respect to each of Invesco Advantage Municipal Income Trust II, Invesco California Value Municipal Income Trust, Invesco Municipal Opportunity Trust, Invesco Municipal Trust, Invesco Pennsylvania Value Municipal Income Trust, Invesco Quality Municipal Income Trust, Invesco Senior Income Trust, Invesco Trust for Investment Grade Municipals, Invesco Trust for Investment Grade New York Municipals, Invesco Value Municipal Income Trust and Invesco Municipal Income Opportunities Trust, holders of Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, will vote with respect to the election of Anthony J. LaCava. Holders of Common Shares and holders of Preferred Shares of each of these Funds will vote together with respect to the election of Beth Ann Brown, Joel W. Motley and Teresa M. Ressel.
All Nominees have consented to being named in this Joint Proxy Statement and have agreed to serve if elected.
If elected, each Trustee will serve until the later of such Fund’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2026 or until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified. As in the past, only one class of Trustees is being submitted to shareholders of each Fund for election at the Meeting. Each Fund’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (each, a “Declaration of Trust”) provides that the Board shall be divided into three classes. For each Fund, only one class of Trustees is elected at each annual meeting, so that the regular term of only one class of Trustees will expire annually and any particular Trustee stands for election only once in each three-year period. The foregoing is subject to the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), applicable Delaware state law, each Fund’s Declaration of Trust and each Fund’s Bylaws.
In the case of any vacancy on the Board, each Fund’s Declaration of Trust provides that the size of the Board shall be automatically reduced by the number of vacancies unless or until the Board by resolution expressly maintains or increases the size of the Board. In the case of a vacancy arising from a Board resolution to maintain or increase the size of the Board, the remaining Trustees may fill such vacancy or add additional Board members, as the case may be, by appointing a replacement meeting the Trustee qualifications outlined in each Funds’ Declaration of Trust to serve for the remainder of the term of the Board position previously vacated. In the case of a vacancy of a Preferred Shares Trustee arising from a Board resolution to maintain or increase the size of the Board, the remaining Trustees may designate a Trustee to serve as a “Preferred Shares Trustee” for the remainder of the term of the Board position previously vacated.
With the exception of the Preferred Shares Trustee, the class of Trustees up for election in any given year is the same for each Fund.

The tables below list the Trustees, their principal occupations, other directorships held by them during the past five years, and any affiliations with the Adviser or its affiliates.

Board Meetings
In addition to regularly scheduled meetings each year, the Board holds special meetings and/or conference calls to discuss specific matters that may require action prior to the next regular meeting. The Board met fourteen times during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2023 and each independent Trustee attended at least 75% of the aggregate of: (i) all regular meetings of the Board during which time such independent Trustee served and (ii) all meetings of the committees of the Board on which the Trustee served. Trustees are encouraged to attend regular shareholder meetings, but the Board has no set policy requiring Board member attendance at such meetings.

Board Leadership Structure
The Board has appointed an Independent Trustee to serve in the role of Chair. The Chair’s primary role is to preside at meetings of the Board and act as a liaison with the Adviser and other service providers, officers (including the Senior Officer of each Fund), attorneys and other Trustees between meetings. The Chair also participates in the preparation of the agenda for the meetings of the Board, is active with mutual fund industry organizations, and may perform such other functions as may be requested by the Board from time to time. Except for any duties specified pursuant to each Fund’s Declaration of Trust or Bylaws, the appointment, designation or identification of a Trustee as the Chair of the Board, a member or chair of a committee of the Trustees, an expert on any topic or in any area (including an audit committee financial expert), or the lead Independent Trustee, shall not impose on that person any standard of care or liability that is greater than that imposed on that person as a Trustee in the absence of that appointment, designation or identification, and no Trustee who has special skills or expertise, or is appointed, designated or identified as aforesaid, shall be held to a higher standard of care by virtue thereof.
The Board believes that its leadership structure, including having an Independent Trustee as Chair, allows for effective communication between the Trustees and management, among the Trustees and among the Independent Trustees. The existing Board structure, including its committee structure as discussed below, provides the Independent Trustees with effective control over Board governance while also allowing them to receive and benefit from insight from the interested Trustee who is an active officer of the Funds’ investment adviser. The Board’s leadership structure promotes dialogue and debate, which the Board believes allows for the proper consideration of matters deemed important to the Funds and their shareholders and results in effective decision-making.

Board Role in Risk Oversight
The Board considers risk management issues as part of its general oversight responsibilities throughout the year at its regular meetings and at regular meetings of its Committees. Invesco prepares regular reports that address certain investment, valuation and compliance matters, and the Board as a whole or the Committees also receive special written reports or presentations on a variety of risk issues at the request of the Board or a Committee.
The Board also considers liquidity risk management issues as part of its general oversight responsibilities and oversees the Funds’ liquidity risk through, among other things, receiving periodic reporting and presentations by Invesco personnel that address liquidity matters.
The Audit Committee assists the Board with its oversight of the Funds’ accounting and auditing process. The Audit Committee is responsible for selecting the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm (auditors), including evaluating their independence and meeting with such auditors to consider and review matters relating to the Funds’ financial reports and internal controls. The Audit Committee is apprised by, and discusses with, management its policies on risk assessment and risk management. Such discussion includes a discussion of the guidelines governing the process by which risks are assessed and managed and an identification of each Fund’s major financial risk exposures. In addition, the Audit Committee meets regularly with representatives of Invesco Ltd.’s internal audit group to review reports on their examinations of functions and processes within Invesco that affect the Funds. The Audit Committee also oversees the Adviser’s process for valuing the Funds’ portfolio investments and receives reports from management regarding its process and the valuation of the Funds’ portfolio investments as consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
The Compliance Committee receives regular compliance reports prepared by Invesco’s compliance group and meets regularly with the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) to discuss compliance issues, including compliance risks. The Compliance Committee has recommended and the Board has adopted compliance policies and procedures for the Funds and for the Funds’ service providers. The compliance policies and procedures are designed to detect, prevent and correct violations of the federal securities laws.
The Governance Committee monitors the composition of the Board and each of its Committees and monitors the qualifications of the Trustees to ensure adherence to certain governance undertakings applicable to the Funds. In addition, the Governance Committee
23
oversees an annual self-assessment of the Board and its Committees and addresses governance risks, including insurance and fidelity bond matters, for the Funds.
The Investments Committee and its sub-committees receive regular written reports describing and analyzing the investment performance of the Invesco Funds. In addition, Invesco’s Chief Investment Officers and the portfolio managers of the Funds meet regularly with the Investments Committee or its sub-committees to discuss portfolio performance, including investment risk, such as the impact on the Funds of investments in particular types of securities or instruments, such as derivatives. To the extent that a Fund changes a particular investment strategy that could have a material impact on the Fund’s risk profile, the Board generally is consulted in advance with respect to such change.
Compensation of Trustees
Each Trustee who is not affiliated with Invesco is compensated for his or her services according to a fee schedule that recognizes the fact that such Trustee also serves as a Trustee of other Invesco Funds. Each such Trustee receives a fee, allocated among the Invesco Funds for which he or she serves as a Trustee that consists of an annual retainer component and a meeting fee component. The Chair of the Board and Chair of each Committee (defined below) and Sub-Committee receive additional compensation for their services. Compensation received by the Trustees of the Funds as of fiscal year ended February 28, 2023 is shown on Annex B hereto.
Pre-Amendment Retirement Plan for Trustees
The Trustees have adopted a Retirement Plan for the Trustees who are not affiliated with the Adviser. A description of the pre-amendment Retirement Plan follows. Annual retirement benefits are available from the Funds and/or the other Invesco Funds for which a Trustee serves (each, a “Covered Fund”), for each Trustee who is not an employee or officer of the Adviser, who either (a) became a Trustee prior to December 1, 2008, and who has at least five years of credited service as a Trustee (including service to a predecessor fund) of a Covered Fund, or (b) was a member of the Board of Trustees of a Van Kampen Fund immediately prior to June 1, 2010 (“Former Van Kampen Trustee”), and has at least one year of credited service as a Trustee of a Covered Fund after June 1, 2010.
For Trustees other than Former Van Kampen Trustees, effective January 1, 2006, for retirements after December 31, 2005, the retirement benefits will equal 75% of the Trustee’s annual retainer paid to or accrued by any Covered Fund with respect to such Trustee during the twelve-month period prior to retirement, including the amount of any retainer deferred under a separate deferred compensation agreement between the Covered Fund and the Trustee. The amount of the annual retirement benefit does not include additional compensation paid for Board meeting fees or compensation paid to the Chair of the Board and the Chairs and Vice Chairs of certain Board committees, whether such amounts are paid directly to the Trustee or deferred. The annual retirement benefit is payable in quarterly installments for a number of years equal to the lesser of (i) sixteen years or (ii) the number of such Trustee’s credited years of service. If a Trustee dies prior to receiving the full amount of retirement benefits, the remaining payments will be made to the deceased Trustee’s designated beneficiary for the same length of time that the Trustee would have received the
24
payments based on his or her service or, if the Trustee has elected, in a discounted lump sum payment. A Trustee must have attained the age of 65 (60 in the event of disability) to receive any retirement benefit. A Trustee may make an irrevocable election to commence payment of retirement benefits upon retirement from the Board before age 72; in such a case, the annual retirement benefit is subject to a reduction for early payment.
If the Former Van Kampen Trustee completes at least 10 years of credited service after June 1, 2010, the retirement benefit will equal 75% of the Former Van Kampen Trustee’s annual retainer paid to or accrued by any Covered Fund with respect to such Trustee during the twelve-month period prior to retirement, including the amount of any retainer deferred under a separate deferred compensation agreement between the Covered Fund and such Trustee. The amount of the annual retirement benefit does not include additional compensation paid for Board meeting fees or compensation paid to the Chair of the Board and the Chairs and Vice Chairs of certain Board committees, whether such amounts are paid directly to the Trustee or deferred. The annual retirement benefit is payable in quarterly installments for 10 years beginning after the later of the Former Van Kampen Trustee’s termination of service or attainment of age 72 (or age 60 in the event of disability or immediately in the event of death). If a Former Van Kampen Trustee dies prior to receiving the full amount of retirement benefits, the remaining payments will be made to the deceased Trustee’s designated beneficiary or, if the Trustee has elected, in a discounted lump sum payment.
If the Former Van Kampen Trustee completes less than 10 years of credited service after June 1, 2010, the retirement benefit will be payable at the applicable time described in the preceding paragraph, but will be paid in two components successively. For the period of time equal to the Former Van Kampen Trustee’s years of credited service after June 1, 2010, the first component of the annual retirement benefit will equal 75% of the compensation amount described in the preceding paragraph. Thereafter, for the period of time equal to the Former Van Kampen Trustee’s years of credited service after June 1, 2010, the second component of the annual retirement benefit will equal the excess of (x) 75% of the compensation amount described in the preceding paragraph, over (y) $68,041 plus an interest factor of 4% per year compounded annually measured from June 1, 2010 through the first day of each year for which payments under this second component are to be made. In no event, however, will the retirement benefits under the two components be made for a period of time greater than 10 years. For example, if the Former Van Kampen Trustee completes 7 years of credited service after June 1, 2010, he or she will receive 7 years of payments under the first component and thereafter 3 years of payments under the second component, and if the Former Van Kampen Trustee completes 4 years of credited service after June 1, 2010, he or she will receive 4 years of payments under the first component and thereafter 4 years of payments under the second component.
Amendment of Retirement Plan and Conversion to Defined Contribution Plan
The Trustees approved an amendment to the Retirement Plan to convert it to a defined contribution plan for active Trustees (the “Amended Plan”). Under the Amended Plan, the benefit amount was amended for each active Trustee to the present value of the Trustee’s existing retirement plan benefit as of December 31, 2013 (the “Existing Plan Benefit”) plus the present value of retirement benefits expected to be earned under the Retirement Plan
25
through the end of the calendar year in which the Trustee attained age 75 (the “Expected Future Benefit” and, together with the Existing Plan Benefit, the “Accrued Benefit”). On the conversion date, the Covered Funds established bookkeeping accounts in the amount of their pro rata share of the Accrued Benefit, which is deemed to be invested in one or more Invesco Funds selected by the participating Trustees. Such accounts will be adjusted from time to time to reflect deemed investment earnings and losses. Each Trustee’s Accrued Benefit is not funded and, with respect to the payments of amounts held in the accounts, the participating Trustees have the status of unsecured creditors of the Covered Funds. Trustees will be paid the adjusted account balance under the Amended Plan in quarterly installments for the same period as described above.
Deferred Compensation Agreements
Seven former Trustees, as well as Messrs. LaCava, Motley, Troccoli, Vandivort and, Mss. Hostetler and Drs. Jones and Mathai-Davis (for purposes of this paragraph only, the “Deferring Trustees”) have each executed a Deferred Compensation Agreement (collectively, the “Compensation Agreements”). Pursuant to the Compensation Agreements, the Deferring Trustees have the option to elect to defer receipt of up to 100% of their compensation payable by the Funds, and such amounts are placed into a deferral account and deemed to be invested in one or more Invesco Funds selected by the Deferring Trustees.
Distributions from these deferral accounts will be paid in cash, generally in equal quarterly installments over a period of up to ten (10) years (depending on the Compensation Agreement) beginning on the date selected under the Compensation Agreement. If a Deferring Trustee dies prior to the distribution of amounts in his or her deferral account, the balance of the deferral account will be distributed to his or her designated beneficiary. The Compensation Agreements are not funded and, with respect to the payments of amounts held in the deferral accounts, the Deferring Trustees have the status of unsecured creditors of the Funds and of each other Invesco Fund from which they are deferring compensation.
Board Committees
The standing committees of the Board are the Audit Committee, the Compliance Committee, the Governance Committee, and the Investments Committee (the “Committees”).
Audit Committee

Each such audit committee financial expert is an Independent Trustee.
Compliance Committee
The members of the Compliance Committee are Messrs. Motley and Vandivort, and Mss. Brown and Krentzman (Chair) and Dr. Mathai-Davis.

During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2023, the Governance Committee held nine meetings. The Governance Committee’s charter is available at www.invesco.com/us.
27
When the Board has or expects to have a vacancy, the Governance Committee receives and reviews information on individuals qualified to be recommended to the full Board as nominees for election as Trustees. The Governance Committee considers candidates identified by members of the Governance Committee, the full Board and management, as well as any recommendations by shareholders (as described below), as part of this process. At times, the Governance Committee may use a third party search firm to assist with the identification of qualified candidates.
The Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by a shareholder in accordance with the Funds’ governing instruments to serve as trustees, provided: (i) that such submitting shareholder provides the information required by, and otherwise complies with the applicable provisions of, the Fund’s governing instruments, (ii) that such submitting shareholder is a shareholder of record, with proof of such ownership or holding reasonably satisfactory to the Funds to be provided by such record owner or nominee holder, at the time he or she submits such names and is entitled to vote at the meeting of shareholders at which trustees will be elected; and (ii) that the Governance Committee or the Board, as applicable, shall make the final determination of persons to be nominated. While the Governance Committee believes that there are no specific minimum qualifications for a nominee to possess or any specific qualities or skills that are necessary, in considering a candidate’s qualifications, the Governance Committee may consider, among other things: (1) whether or not the person is an “interested person,” as defined in the 1940 Act, and is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a trustee of the Funds; (2) whether or not the person is willing to serve as, and willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties of, a trustee; (3) whether the person can make a positive contribution to the Board and the Funds, with consideration being given to the person’s specific experience, education, qualifications and other skills; and (4) whether the person is of good character and high integrity, and whether the person has other desirable personality traits, including independence, leadership and the ability to work with other Board members. The Governance Committee has not adopted any specific policy on the issue of diversity, but will take this into account, among other factors, in its consideration of new candidates to the Board.
Under the Funds’ governing instruments, nominees must meet certain additional qualifications to qualify for nomination and service as a Trustee. Nominees may be disqualified if they engaged in disabling conduct outlined in the Funds’ Declarations of Trust. Nominees that are associated with other investment vehicles and investment advisers may not be eligible for nomination and service as a Trustee if the Board finds that such associations have conflicts of interest with the long-term best interests of the Funds, impede the ability of the nominee to perform, or impede the free-flow of information from management. Nominees that are acting in concert with control persons of other investment companies that are in violation of Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act shall be disqualified from nomination and service as a Trustee.
Notice procedures set forth in each Fund’s Bylaws require that any shareholder of a Fund desiring to nominate a trustee for election at an annual shareholder meeting must deliver to the Fund’s Secretary notice of the shareholder’s intent to nominate in writing not less than ninety (90) nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year.

Investments Committee
The members of the Investments Committee are Messrs. Flanagan, LaCava, Motley, Troccoli (Sub-Committee Chair) and Vandivort, Mss. Brown, Hostetler (Chair), Krentzman and Ressel (Sub-Committee Chair) and Drs. Jones and Mathai-Davis (Sub-Committee Chair). The Investments Committee’s primary purposes are to assist the Board in its oversight of the investment management services provided by Invesco and the Sub-Advisers and to periodically review Fund performance information, and information regarding the investment personnel and other resources devoted to the management of the Funds and make recommendations to the Board, when applicable. During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2023, the Investments Committee held five meetings.
The Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees and delegated to the Sub-Committees responsibility for, among other matters: (i) reviewing the performance of the Funds that have been assigned to a particular Sub-Committee (for each Sub-Committee, the Designated Funds), except to the extent the Investments Committee takes such action directly; (ii) reviewing with the applicable portfolio managers from time to time the investment objective(s), policies, strategies, performance and risks and other investment-related matters of the Designated Funds; and (iii) being generally familiar with the investment objectives and principal investment strategies of the Designated Funds.
Shareholder Communications

Shareholders should send communications intended for the Board or for a Trustee by addressing the communication directly to the Board or individual Trustee and/or otherwise clearly indicating that the communication is for the Board or individual Trustee and by sending the communication to either the office of the Secretary of the applicable Fund or directly to such Trustee at the address specified for such Trustee above. Other shareholder communications received by any Fund not directly addressed and sent to the Board will be reviewed and generally responded to by management and will be forwarded to the Board only at management’s discretion based on the matters contained therein.
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR ALL” OF THE NOMINEES.

Principal Shareholders of the Funds
The persons who as of the Record Date, according to publicly available filings made with the SEC, held of record 5% or more of the Common Shares or Preferred Shares of a Fund are set forth in Annex C. To the knowledge of each Fund, no other persons own, directly or beneficially, 5% or more of the Common Shares or Preferred Shares of any Fund.
34
Trustee Ownership of Fund Shares
As of December 31, 2022, Trustee(s) owned, directly or beneficially, Common Shares or Preferred Shares of a Fund and beneficially owned equity securities of other funds in the Invesco Fund Complex overseen by the Trustees in the dollar range amounts as specified in Annex D.
Application of Control Share Provisions
Effective August 1, 2022, each Fund became automatically subject to newly enacted control share acquisition provisions within the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (the “Control Share Provisions”). In general, the Control Share Provisions limit the ability of holders of “control beneficial interests” to vote their shares of a fund above various threshold levels that start at 10% unless the other shareholders of such fund vote to reinstate those rights. “Control beneficial interests” are aggregated to include the holdings of related parties and shares acquired before the effective date of the Control Share Provisions. A fund’s board of trustees may exempt acquisitions from the application of the Control Share Provisions.
The Control Share Provisions require shareholders to disclose any control share acquisition to a Fund within 10 days of such acquisition and, upon request, to provide any related information that the Fund’s Board reasonably believes is necessary or desirable.
The foregoing is only a summary of certain aspects of the Control Share Provisions. Shareholders should consult their own legal counsel with respect to the application of the Control Share Provisions to their beneficial interests of a Fund and any subsequent acquisitions of beneficial interests.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance and Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 30(f) of the 1940 Act and Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act require each of the Funds’ Trustees, officers, investment advisers, affiliated persons of the investment advisers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of a Fund’s equity securities to file forms with the SEC and the NYSE (on which the Common Shares are listed), reporting their affiliation with the Fund and reports of ownership and changes in ownership of Shares. Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, or written representations from certain reporting persons, the Funds believe that, during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2023, all such filing requirements were met with respect to the Funds except, due to an administrative oversight, a late filing of a Form 3 report was made for Invesco Senior Income Trust on behalf of Benjamin Gruder, an officer of Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., a sub-adviser to Invesco Senior Income Trust.
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP (“PwC”) has been selected as each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm by the Audit Committee and ratified by unanimous approval of each Fund’s Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, to audit the accounts of the Funds for and during the fiscal year ending February 28, 2023. The Audit
35
Committee and the Boards have been advised by PwC that neither PwC nor any of its members have any material direct or indirect financial interest in the Funds.
It is not expected that representatives of PwC will attend the Meeting. In the event representatives of PwC do attend the Meeting, they will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to answer appropriate questions.
In accordance with the adopted pre-approval policies and procedures (included in Annex E to this Joint Proxy Statement), the Audit Committee has preapproved all audit and non-audit services provided to each Fund by its independent registered public accounting firm. Pre-approval by the Audit Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not, however, required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to a Fund constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to its independent registered public accounting firm during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided; (ii) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by a Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter(s) from PwC mandated by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) regarding PwC’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. The Audit Committee also received the report of PwC regarding the results of their audit. In connection with the Audit Committee’s review of the financial statements and PwC’s report, the members of the Audit Committee discussed with a representative of PwC, PwC’s independence, as well as the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC, including, but not limited to, the following: PwC’s responsibilities in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; PwC’s responsibilities for information prepared by management that accompanies the Fund’s audited financial statements and any procedures performed and the results; the initial selection of, and whether there were any changes in, significant accounting policies or their application; management’s judgments and accounting estimates; whether there were any significant audit adjustments; whether there were any disagreements with management; whether there was any consultation with other accountants; whether the auditors encountered any difficulties in dealing with management in performing the audit; and PwC’s judgments about the quality of the Fund’s accounting principles. Based on this review, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of each Fund that each Fund’s audited financial statements be included in each Fund’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the most recent fiscal year for filing with the SEC.
As disclosed above, the members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. LaCava (Chair), Troccoli, and Dr. Jones, and Mss. Hostetler.
Audit Fees
For each Fund’s two most recently completed fiscal years, the aggregate fees billed to each Fund by PwC for professional services rendered for the audit of such Fund’s annual financial statements are set forth on Annex E. All of the audit services for the fiscal years
36
ended February 28, 2023 and February 28, 2022 were approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with its pre-approval policies and procedures.
Audit-Related Fees
For each Fund’s two most recently completed fiscal years, the aggregate fees billed to each Fund by PwC for professional services rendered for audit-related services are set forth on Annex E. All of the audit-related services, which include assurance and related services by PwC that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of a Fund, for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2023 and February 28, 2022 were approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with its pre-approval policies and procedures.
Tax Fees
For each Fund’s two most recently completed fiscal years, the aggregate fees billed by PwC and approved by the Audit Committee of each Fund for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning are set forth on Annex E. All of the tax services for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2023 and February 28, 2022 were approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with its pre-approval policies and procedures.
All Other Fees
For each Fund’s two most recently completed fiscal years, the aggregate fees billed by PwC and approved by the audit committee of each Fund for professional services rendered for all other services are set forth on Annex E. All of the other services for the two most recently completed fiscal years were approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with its pre-approval policies and procedures.
Covered Entities
For each Fund’s two most recently completed fiscal years, the aggregate non-audit fees billed to the Adviser or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Funds (the “Covered Entities”) are set forth on Annex E. The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve services to Covered Entities to the extent that the services are determined to have a direct impact on the operations of financial reporting of the Funds. The Audit Committee also has considered whether the provision of non-audit services, if any, performed by PwC to the Funds and Covered Entities is compatible with maintaining PwC’s independence in performing audit services.
Proxy Solicitation Expenses
The expenses of preparing, printing and mailing these proxy solicitation materials and all other costs in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Election Proposal will be borne by the Funds. To the extent the expenses are not billed to a particular Fund, they will be allocated among the Funds. The Funds will also reimburse banks, brokers and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the shares of the Funds. In order to obtain the necessary quorum at the Meeting, additional solicitation may be made by mail, telephone, facsimile or personal interview by representatives of the Funds, the Adviser or its affiliates, by the transfer agent of the Funds
37
and by dealers or their representatives. The Funds have also retained Computershare to assist in any additional proxy solicitation. The estimated cost of solicitation by Computershare is approximately $1,500 per Fund.
Shareholder Proposals
Shareholder proposals intended to be presented at the year 2024 annual meeting of shareholders for a Fund pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must be received by the Fund’s Secretary at the Fund’s principal executive offices by February 28, 2024, in order to be considered for inclusion in the Fund’s proxy statement and proxy card relating to that meeting. Timely submission of a proposal does not necessarily mean that such proposal will be included in the Fund’s proxy statement. If a shareholder wishes to make a proposal at the year 2024 annual meeting of shareholders without having the proposal included in a Fund’s proxy statement, then such proposal must be received by the Fund’s Secretary at the Fund’s principal executive offices not earlier than April 5, 2024 and not later than May 5, 2024. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if notice of a shareholder proposal is received after May 5, 2024, the persons named as proxies may vote proxies held by them in their discretion on such proposal. Any shareholder who wishes to submit a proposal for consideration at an annual meeting of such shareholder’s Fund should send such proposal to the respective Fund’s Secretary at 11 Greenway Plaza, Houston, Texas 77046, Attn: Secretary. Additional requirements regarding shareholder proposals are included in the Fund’s Bylaws, which are available upon request.
General
Management of each Fund does not intend to present, and does not have reason to believe that others will present, any other items of business at the Meeting. However, if other matters are properly presented to the Meeting for a vote, the proxies will be voted upon such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons acting under the proxies.
Failure of a quorum to be present at the Meeting for any Fund may necessitate adjournment and may subject such Fund to additional expense.
If you cannot be present at the Meeting, you are requested to fill in, sign and return the enclosed proxy card(s), for which no postage is required if mailed in the United States, or record your voting instructions by telephone or via the internet promptly.

E-2
PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
As adopted by the Audit Committees
of the Invesco Funds (the “Funds”)
Last Amended March 29, 2017
I. | Statement of Principles |
The Audit Committees (the “Audit Committee”) of the Boards of Trustees of the Funds (the “Board”) have adopted these policies and procedures (the “Procedures”) with respect to the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services to be provided by the Funds’ independent auditor (the “Auditor”) to the Funds, and to the Funds’ investment adviser(s) and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser(s) that provides ongoing services to the Funds (collectively, “Service Affiliates”).
Under Section 202 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, all audit and non-audit services provided to the Funds by the Auditor must be preapproved by the Audit Committee. Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X requires that the Audit Committee also pre-approve a Service Affiliate’s engagement of the Auditor for non-audit services if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds (a “Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement”).
These Procedures set forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which the Audit Committee may pre-approve audit and non-audit services for the Funds and a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other organizations and regulatory bodies applicable to the Funds (“Applicable Rules”).2 They address both general pre-approvals without consideration of specific case-by-case services (“general pre-approvals”) and pre-approvals on a case-by-case basis (“specific pre-approvals”). Any services requiring pre-approval that are not within the scope of general pre-approvals hereunder are subject to specific pre-approval. These Procedures also address the delegation by the Audit Committee of pre-approval authority to the Audit Committee Chair or Vice Chair.
II. | Pre-Approval of Fund Audit Services |
The annual Fund audit services engagement, including terms and fees, is subject to specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures required to be performed by an independent auditor to be able to form an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements. The Audit Committee will receive, review and consider sufficient information concerning a proposed Fund audit engagement to make a reasonable evaluation of the Auditor’s qualifications and independence. The Audit Committee will oversee the Fund audit services engagement as necessary, including approving any changes in terms, audit scope, conditions and fees.
2 | Applicable Rules include, for example, New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules applicable to closed-end funds managed by Invesco and listed on the NYSE. |
E-3
In addition to approving the Fund audit services engagement at least annually and specifically approving any changes, the Audit Committee may generally or specifically
pre-approve engagements for other audit services, which are those services that only an independent auditor reasonably can provide. Other audit services may include services associated with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC.
III. | General and Specific Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Fund Services |
The Audit Committee will consider, at least annually, the list of General Pre-Approved Non-Audit Services which list may be terminated or modified at any time by the Audit Committee. To inform the Audit Committee’s review and approval of General Pre-Approved Non-Audit Services, the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and Auditor shall provide such information regarding independence or other matters as the Audit Committee may request.
Any services or fee ranges that are not within the scope of General Pre-Approved Non-Audit Services have not received general pre-approval and require specific pre-approval. Each request for specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee for services to be provided by the Auditor to the Funds must be submitted to the Audit Committee by the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and must include detailed information about the services to be provided, the fees or fee ranges to be charged, and other relevant information sufficient to allow the Audit Committee to consider whether to pre-approve such engagement, including evaluating whether the provision of such services will impair the independence of the Auditor and is otherwise consistent with Applicable Rules.
IV. | Non-Audit Service Types |
The Audit Committee may provide either general or specific pre-approval of audit-related, tax or other services, each as described in more detail below.
a. | Audit-Related Services |
“Audit-related services” are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund’s financial statements or that are traditionally performed by an independent auditor. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “Audit services”; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; services related to mergers, acquisitions or dispositions; compliance with ratings agency requirements and interfund lending activities; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements.
b. | Tax Services |
“Tax services” include, but are not limited to, the review and signing of the Funds’ federal tax returns, the review of required distributions by the Funds and consultations regarding tax matters such as the tax treatment of new investments or the impact of new regulations. The Audit Committee will not approve proposed services of the Auditor which the Audit Committee believes are to be provided in connection with a service or transaction
E-4
initially recommended by the Auditor, the sole business purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue
Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee will consult with the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and may consult with outside counsel or advisers as necessary to ensure the consistency of tax services rendered by the Auditor with the foregoing policy. The Auditor shall not represent any Fund or any Service Affiliate before a tax court, district court or federal court of claims.
Each request to provide tax services under either the general or specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee will include a description from the Auditor in writing of (i) the scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any side letter or other amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement (whether oral, written, or otherwise) between the Auditor and the Funds, relating to the service; and (ii) any compensation arrangement or other agreement, such as a referral agreement, a referral fee or fee-sharing arrangement, between the Auditor (or an affiliate of the Auditor) and any person (other than the Funds or Service Affiliates receiving the services) with respect to the promoting, marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service. The Auditor will also discuss with the Audit Committee the potential effects of the services on the independence of the Auditor, and document the substance of its discussion with the Audit Committee.
c. | Other Services |
The Audit Committee may pre-approve other non-audit services so long as the Audit Committee believes that the service will not impair the independence of the Auditor. Appendix I includes a list of services that the Auditor is prohibited from performing by the SEC rules. Appendix I also includes a list of services that would impair the Auditor’s independence unless the Audit Committee reasonably concludes that the results of the services will not be subject to audit procedures during an audit of the Funds’ financial statements.
V. | Pre-Approval of Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagements |
Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X requires that the Audit Committee pre-approve a Service Affiliate’s engagement of the Auditor for non-audit services if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds, defined above as a “Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement.”
The Audit Committee may provide either general or specific pre-approval of any Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement, including for audit-related, tax or other services, as described above, if the Audit Committee believes that the provision of the services to a Service Affiliate will not impair the independence of the Auditor with respect to the Funds. Any Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagements that are not within the scope of General Pre-Approved Non-Audit Services have not received general pre-approval and require specific pre-approval.
Each request for specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee of a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement must be submitted to the Audit Committee by the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee)and must include detailed information about the services to be provided,
E-5
the fees or fee ranges to be charged, a description of the current status of the pre-approval process involving other audit committees in the Invesco investment company complex (as defined in Rule 2-201 of Regulation S-X) with respect to the proposed engagement, and other relevant information sufficient to allow the Audit Committee to consider whether the provision of such services will impair the independence of the Auditor from the Funds. Additionally, the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and the Auditor will provide the Audit Committee with a statement that the proposed engagement requires pre-approval by the Audit Committee, the proposed engagement, in their view, will not impair the independence of the Auditor and is consistent with Applicable Rules, and the description of the proposed engagement provided to the Audit Committee is consistent with that presented to or approved by the Invesco audit committee.
Information about all Service Affiliate engagements of the Auditor for non-audit services, whether or not subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee, shall be provided to the Audit Committee at least quarterly, to allow the Audit Committee to consider whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the Auditor’s independence from the Funds. The Funds’ Treasurer and Auditor shall provide the Audit Committee with sufficiently detailed information about the scope of services provided and the fees for such services, to ensure that the Audit Committee can adequately consider whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the Auditor’s independence from the Funds.
VI. | Pre-Approved Fee Levels or Established Amounts |
Pre-approved fee levels or ranges for audit and non-audit services to be provided by the Auditor to the Funds, and for a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement, under general pre-approval or specific pre-approval will be set periodically by the Audit Committee. Any proposed fees exceeding 110% of the maximum pre-approved fee levels or ranges for such services or engagements will be promptly presented to the Audit Committee and will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee before payment of any additional fees is made.
VII. | Delegation |
The Audit Committee hereby delegates, subject to the dollar limitations set forth below, specific authority to its Chair, or in his or her absence, Vice Chair, to pre-approve audit and non-audit services proposed to be provided by the Auditor to the Funds and/or a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement, between Audit Committee meetings. Such delegation does not preclude the Chair or Vice Chair from declining, on a case by case basis, to exercise his or her delegated authority and instead convening the Audit Committee to consider and pre-approve any proposed services or engagements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Audit Committee must pre-approve: (a) any non-audit services to be provided to the Funds for which the fees are estimated to exceed $500,000; (b) any Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement for which the fees are estimated to exceed $500,000; or (c) any cost increase to any previously approved service or engagement that exceeds the greater of $250,000 or 50% of the previously approved fees up to a maximum increase of $500,000.
E-6
VIII. | Compliance with Procedures |
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, failure to pre-approve any services or engagements that are not required to be pre-approved pursuant to the de minimis exception provided for in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X shall not constitute a violation of these Procedures. The Audit Committee has designated the Funds’ Treasurer to ensure services and engagements are pre-approved in compliance with these Procedures. The Funds’ Treasurer will immediately report to the Chair of the Audit Committee, or the Vice Chair in his or her absence, any breach of these Procedures that comes to the attention of the Funds’ Treasurer or any services or engagements that are not required to be pre-approved pursuant to the de minimis exception provided for in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.
On at least an annual basis, the Auditor will provide the Audit Committee with a summary of all non-audit services provided to any entity in the investment company complex (as defined in section 2-01(f)(14) of Regulation S-X, including the Funds and Service Affiliates) that were not pre-approved, including the nature of services provided and the associated fees.
IX. | Amendments to Procedures |
All material amendments to these Procedures must be approved in advance by the Audit Committee. Non-material amendments to these Procedures may be made by the Legal and Compliance Departments and will be reported to the Audit Committee at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee.
E-7
Appendix I
Non-Audit Services That May Impair the Auditor’s Independence
The Auditor is not independent if, at any point during the audit and professional engagement, the Auditor provides the following non-audit services:
• | Management functions; |
• | Human resources; |
• | Broker-dealer, investment adviser, or investment banking services; |
• | Legal services; |
• | Expert services unrelated to the audit; |
• | Any service or product provided for a contingent fee or a commission; |
• | Services related to marketing, planning, or opining in favor of the tax treatment of confidential transactions or aggressive tax position transactions, a significant purpose of which is tax avoidance; |
• | Tax services for persons in financial reporting oversight roles at the Fund; and |
• | Any other service that the Public Company Oversight Board determines by regulation is impermissible. |
An Auditor is not independent if, at any point during the audit and professional engagement, the Auditor provides the following non-audit services unless it is reasonable to conclude that the results of the services will not be subject to audit procedures during an audit of the Funds’ financial statements:
• | Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the audit client; |
• | Financial information systems design and implementation; |
• | Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports; |
• | Actuarial services; and |
