Dear Shareholder:
A special meeting of shareholders of the Fidelity funds listed above will be held on November 16, 2022. The purpose of each meeting is to provide you with the opportunity to vote on important proposals that affect the funds and your investment in them. As a shareholder and a valued Fidelity customer, you can make your voice heard.
Proxy campaigns are costly, so your timely vote will help to control expenses that are borne by shareholders. This package contains important information about the proposals and the materials to use when casting your vote.
Each proposal has been carefully reviewed by each Trust’s Board of Trustees. The Trustees, most of whom are not affiliated with Fidelity, are responsible for protecting your interests as a shareholder. The Trustees believe that each of the five separate proposals are in the best interests of each fund’s shareholders: (1) to merge Fidelity Arizona Municipal Money Market Fund into Fidelity Municipal Money Market Fund, (2) to merge Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Money Market Fund into Fidelity Municipal Money Market Fund, (3) to merge Fidelity Michigan Municipal Money Market Fund into Fidelity Municipal Money Market Fund; (4) to merge Fidelity Ohio Municipal Money Market Fund into Fidelity Municipal Money Market Fund; and (5) to merge Fidelity Pennsylvania Municipal Money Market Fund into Fidelity Municipal Money Market Fund. They recommend the approval of each of these proposals.
Please read the enclosed materials and cast your vote on the proxy card(s). Please vote your shares promptly. Your vote is extremely important, no matter how large or small your holdings may be.
The following Q&A is provided to assist you in understanding each proposal. They are also described in greater detail in the enclosed proxy statement.
Voting is quick and easy. Everything you need is included with the proxy materials. To cast your vote, you may:
• | | Vote your shares by visiting the web site indicated on your proxy card(s), enter the control number found on the card(s) and follow the on-line instructions; |
OR
• | | Vote your shares by calling the toll-free number indicated on your proxy card(s), enter the control number found on the card(s) and follow the recorded instructions; |
OR
• | | Vote your shares by completing the proxy card(s) enclosed in this package and returning the signed card(s) in the postage-paid envelope. |
If you have any questions before you vote, please call Fidelity using the contact information located in the table in the enclosed Q&A. We’ll be glad to help you get your vote in quickly. Thank you for your participation in this important initiative and for entrusting Fidelity with your investments.
Sincerely,

| | | | |
Proposal | | Acquired Fund | | Acquiring Fund |
| | |
1 | | Fidelity Arizona Municipal Money Market Fund | | Fidelity Municipal Money Market Fund |
| | |
2 | | Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Money Market Fund | | Fidelity Municipal Money Market Fund |
| | |
3 | | Fidelity Michigan Municipal Money Market Fund | | Fidelity Municipal Money Market Fund |
| | |
4 | | Fidelity Ohio Municipal Money Market Fund | | Fidelity Municipal Money Market Fund |
| | |
5 | | Fidelity Pennsylvania Municipal Money Market Fund | | Fidelity Municipal Money Market Fund |
Approval of each proposal will be determined solely by the voting results of shareholders of each Acquired Fund. It is not necessary for all five proposals to be approved for any one of them to occur.
Have the funds’ Boards of Trustees approved the reorganizations?
Yes. Each fund’s Board of Trustees has carefully reviewed the proposal and approved the Agreement and Reorganization. The Board of Trustees unanimously recommends that you vote in favor of your fund’s Agreement and Plan of Reorganization by approving your fund’s proposal. If a proposal is not approved by shareholders, the fund proposed to be acquired will liquidate during the first quarter of 2023.
What are the reasons for and advantages of the proposed reorganizations?
We believe, and each fund’s Board of Trustees unanimously agreed, that each reorganization, also known as a merger, is in the best interest of shareholders.
For each proposal, the Board of Trustees considered the following factors, among others, in determining that you vote in favor of your fund’s reorganization:
• | | Shareholders will be part of a larger, more diversified, better performing fund that seeks income exempt from federal income tax. |
• | | Shareholders are expected to benefit from an expense reduction of approximately 8 to 14 basis points, depending on the fund. |
• | | Each reorganization will qualify as a tax-free exchange for federal income tax purposes. |
For more information, shareholders of Fidelity Arizona Municipal Money Market Fund please refer to the section entitled “The Proposed Transactions – Proposal 1 – Reasons for the Reorganization.”
For more information, shareholders of Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Money Market Fund please refer to the section entitled “The Proposed Transactions – Proposal 2 – Reasons for the Reorganization.”
For more information, shareholders of Fidelity Michigan Municipal Money Market Fund please refer to the section entitled “The Proposed Transactions – Proposal 3 – Reasons for the Reorganization.”
For more information, shareholders of Fidelity Ohio Municipal Money Market Fund please refer to the section entitled “The Proposed Transactions – Proposal 4 – Reasons for the Reorganization.”
For more information, shareholders of Fidelity Pennsylvania Municipal Money Market Fund please refer to the section entitled “The Proposed Transactions – Proposal 5 – Reasons for the Reorganization.”
Do the funds being merged have similar investments objectives and policies?
Yes, the funds have similar investment objectives and policies. Although the funds have similar principal investment strategies, there are some differences of which you should be aware. A comparison of the investment strategies for each proposal is included in the attached proxy statement.
Who will pay for the expenses associated with each reorganization?
Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Money Market Fund, Fidelity Michigan Municipal Money Market Fund, and Fidelity Ohio Municipal Money Market Fund will each bear the cost of its reorganization.
For Fidelity Arizona Municipal Money Market Fund and Fidelity Pennsylvania Municipal Money Market Fund, pursuant to each fund’s management contract, Fidelity will bear the cost of the reorganization.
Any transaction costs associated with portfolio adjustments to an Acquired Fund that occur prior to the closing date will be borne by the Acquired Fund.
For more information, please refer to the section entitled “Voting Information – Solicitation of Proxies; Expenses.”
How will you determine the number of shares that I will receive?
Each acquired fund will distribute shares of the acquiring fund to its shareholders so that each shareholder will receive the number of full and fractional shares of the acquiring fund equal to the number of shares of the applicable acquired fund held by such shareholder on the closing date.
The anticipated closing date for each reorganization proposal is December 2, 2022. If shareholder approval of the reorganization cannot be achieved, the fund proposed to be acquired will liquidate during the first quarter of 2023.
Is each reorganization considered a taxable event for federal income tax purposes?
No. Each fund will receive an opinion of counsel that its reorganization will not result in any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes either to the acquired fund or the acquiring fund or to the shareholders of either fund.
Shareholders of Fidelity Arizona Municipal Money Market Fund should note that Fidelity Municipal Money Market Fund does not specifically seek income eligible for an exemption from Arizona personal income tax, and only a small portion if any of the tax-exempt interest dividends from Fidelity Municipal Money Market Fund may be eligible for an exemption from Arizona personal income tax.
For more information, shareholders of Fidelity Arizona Municipal Money Market Fund please refer to the section entitled “The Proposed Transactions – Proposal 1 – Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

What if there are not enough votes to reach quorum by the scheduled shareholder meeting date or if the reorganizations are not approved?
To facilitate receiving a sufficient number of votes, we may need to take further action. Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., a proxy solicitation firm, or Fidelity, may contact you by mail or telephone. Therefore, we encourage shareholders to vote as soon as they receive the enclosed proxy materials to avoid additional mailings or telephone calls, as well as increased expenses to the fund.
If shareholder approval is not achieved, the fund proposed to be acquired will liquidate during the first quarter of 2023.
What role does the Board play?
The Trustees serve as the fund shareholders’ representatives. Members of the Board are fiduciaries and have an obligation to serve the best interests of shareholders. In addition, the Trustees review fund performance, oversee fund activities, and review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the funds.
General Questions on the Proxy
Who is Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.?
Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. is a third party proxy vendor that has been hired to call shareholders and record proxy votes. In order to hold a shareholder meeting, quorum must be reached. If quorum is not met, the meeting may adjourn to a future date. The campaign attempts to reach shareholders via multiple mailings to remind them to cast their vote. As the meeting approaches, phone calls may be made to clients who have not yet voted their shares so that the shareholder meeting does not have to be postponed.
Voting your shares immediately will help minimize additional solicitation expenses and prevent the need to call to you to solicit your vote.
How many votes am I entitled to cast?
As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value you own of each of the funds on the record date, with fractional dollar amounts entitled to a proportional fractional vote. The record date is September 19, 2022.

eFail Buckslip - to be sent to a shareholder that has consented to receive proxy solicitations electronically but in attempting to deliver an e-mail failure occurred:
Dear Investor,
We were unable to notify you electronically of the Availability of Important Proxy Materials for a Fidelity fund maintained in your account(s). We attempted to send the notice to your e-mail address, as reflected on our records. That e-mail address appears to be invalid.
To correct your e-mail address, please log in to one or more of your online account(s) and follow the instructions.
If this e-mail address is correct, there may be another issue preventing the receipt of these e-mails. Here are some things you should do:
• | | Confirm that your e-mail account is still active. |
• | | Make sure that your e-mail inbox is not full (over its capacity). |
• | | If you are using an e-mail address provided by your employer, make sure that you can receive e-mails from outside parties. |
• | | Ask your e-mail provider if it has experienced an outage in its system. |
Because we were unable to send the notice to you electronically, we are sending this notice and the related Proxy Materials (enclosed) to you in paper form. You may continue to receive Proxy Materials in paper form until you provide us with a valid e-mail address.
Please read the enclosed Proxy Materials and vote your shares promptly. Your vote is extremely important, no matter how large or small your holdings may be.

A: | Companies regularly hold shareholder meetings to present and discuss important management decisions that may impact shareholders. Mutual funds may also hold special meetings of shareholders to seek approval of changes to fund services or policies that require shareholder approval. As a shareholder, you are entitled to vote on these important matters. You could, if you wanted, attend the shareholder meeting in person to cast your votes, or you could cast a proxy vote, which allows you to cast your vote through the mail, over the telephone, or online. This way, your vote can be counted without you having to attend the meeting in person. |
Top
Q: | When will I receive the information I need to vote? |
A: | A proxy statement, which provides details regarding the meeting and the management and shareholder proposals, if any, that will be voted on at the meeting, is provided to shareholders before the meeting is held. The proxy statement may be sent to you via U.S. mail or email, if you have consented to electronic delivery, or you may receive a notice linking you to a website where you can review it online. |
Top
Q: | How can I submit a proxy vote? |
A: | You may submit a proxy vote through U.S. mail, over the telephone, or online, based on the instructions contained in the proxy statement. Votes must be submitted prior to the close of voting in order to be counted. Please vote your shares promptly. Your vote is extremely important, no matter how large or small your holdings may be. |

Q: | I consented for eDelivery of proxy materials, is it possible to receive hard copy paper materials instead? |
A: | By consenting to eDelivery of proxy, you have agreed to online receipt of important proxy materials.
