Hello all,
As we previously communicated, there is a proxy solicitation currently underway in connection with the pending sale of Delaware Investments to Macquarie Group. We held a special shareholder meeting on Nov. 12, 2009. However, we had to adjourn the proposals for certain funds until December, because we did not receive enough votes.
If you are a Delaware Investments employee and have investments in Delaware Investments funds or you participate in the DMHI retirement plan, you should have received a proxy statement and one or more proxy cards in the mail.
We encourage you and all shareholders to vote as soon as possible as the deadline for all responses is quickly approaching. At a high level for the remaining proposals, shareholders are being asked to:
- approve a new advisory agreement between each fund and Delaware Management Company ("DMC"), the current investment manager to each fund. This applies to certain funds.
- elect their current Board of Trustees. This applies to open-end funds only.
We urge you to review the proxy materials and vote your shares. If you have already voted for all of your accounts, thank you, and you don’t need to vote again. If you do not have the proxy materials but are a shareholder, please e-mail Kathie Callahan at kcallahan@delinvest.com with questions or for new materials.
Thanks.
