Delaware Pooled® Trust International Equity Portfolio (the Fund) to reorganize
The Board of Trustees (the Board) responsible for the Fund approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization providing for the reorganization of the Fund with and into the Mondrian International Equity Fund (the Acquiring Fund), a series of the Gallery Trust, which will be managed by Mondrian Investment Partners Limited, the current sub-advisor of the Fund. SEI Investments Global Funds Services serves as the administrator of the Gallery Trust, and SEI Investments Distribution Co. acts as the principal underwriter for the shares of the Gallery Trust.
The Acquiring Fund’s investment objective, strategies, and policies are substantially similar to those of the Fund. Both the Fund and the Acquiring Fund seek long-term total return. The Reorganization is intended to be a tax-free transaction.
It is anticipated that during the first quarter of 2016, the Fund’s shareholders will receive a proxy/prospectus providing them with information about the reorganization and the Acquiring Fund. The Fund will continue to accept purchases from existing shareholders (including reinvested dividends and capital gains) until the last business day before the Reorganization.
Further communications will be sent closer to the date of the reorganization, which is tentatively scheduled for March 2016, subject to shareholder approval.
If you require additional information, please contact our Broker Services department at 877 332-2371.

DELAWARE POOLED® TRUST The International Equity Portfolio (“Fund”) Supplement to the Fund’s Summary and Statutory Prospectuses dated February 27, 2015 The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) responsible for the Fund approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) providing for the reorganization of the Fund with and into the Mondrian International Equity Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), a series of the Gallery Trust, which will be managed by Mondrian Investment Partners Limited, the current sub-advisor of the Fund. SEI Investments Global Funds Services serves as the administrator of the Gallery Trust, and SEI Investments Distribution Co. acts as the principal underwriter for the shares of the Gallery Trust. The Board has determined that it is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to approve the submission of the Plan to shareholders of the Fund under which substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Fund would be transferred to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund (the “Reorganization”). The Acquiring Fund’s investment objective, strategies, and policies are substantially similar to those of the Fund. Both the Fund and the Acquiring Fund seek long-term total return.
