Dear Shareholder:
A special meeting of shareholders of one or more of the Boston Trust & Walden Funds has been adjourned until 10:00 a.m. July 27, 2016. Although the response to date is favorable, the Fund(s) have not received the necessary votes for passage. Fund management has recommended to the Board of Trustees the special meeting of shareholders be postponed until sufficient votes are received for the approval of all proposals. To date, we have not received your vote.
It is important to note that, with the meeting adjourned, the Fund(s) and its shareholders may incur additional costs in an effort to reach passage on the proposals noted in the proxy materials.
