LAUDUS TRUST
211 Main Street
San Francisco, CA 94105
September [  ], 2009

Dear Shareholder:

Enclosed is some important information concerning your investment in the Laudus Rosenberg International Equity Fund (the “Laudus Fund” or “Acquired Fund”), a series of Laudus Trust (the “Trust”). We wish to inform you that the Board of Trustees of the Trust, after careful consideration, has approved the reorganization of the Laudus Fund into the Schwab International Core Equity Fund, a series of Schwab Capital Trust (the “Surviving Fund” and, together with the Acquired Fund, the “Funds”) that has similar investment goals and strategies.

A Meeting of Shareholders of the Laudus Fund has been scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Pacific Time on November 12, 2009 to vote on the reorganization. If you are a shareholder of record as of the close of business on September 16, 2009, you are entitled to vote at the Meeting and at any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting.

The attached combined prospectus/proxy statement is designed to give you information relating to the proposal upon which you will be asked to vote. The Board of Trustees of the Trust is recommending that you approve the reorganization. We believe that this combination will benefit shareholders as follows:

•  The reorganization will result in a larger fund. Shareholders could potentially benefit by the growth in assets realized by the combination of the Funds because the Surviving Fund can potentially take advantage of the benefits of any future economies of scale, including the ability to spread certain fixed costs across a larger asset base.

•  The reorganization is intended to be tax-free to the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund and to shareholders and will be accomplished in such a manner as to not dilute your investment.

Assuming approval of the reorganization, following the close of business on December 3, 2009, the Acquired Fund will be reorganized into the Surviving Fund such that each shareholder of the Acquired Fund will receive an amount of shares of the Surviving Fund equal in value to the shares of the Acquired Fund owned by such holder at the time of the closing of the reorganization. We encourage you to support the Trustees’ recommendation to approve the proposal. Before you vote, however, please read the full text of the combined prospectus/proxy statement.

While you are, of course, welcome to join us at the Meeting, most shareholders are likely to cast their votes by filling out and signing the enclosed Proxy Card. Please mark, sign, and date the enclosed Proxy Card and return it promptly in the enclosed, postage-paid envelope so that the maximum number of shares may be voted. You may also vote by touch-tone telephone or through the Internet as described on the enclosed Proxy Card.

Your vote is important to us. Please do not hesitate to call 1-800-447-3332 if you have any questions. Thank you for taking the time to consider this important proposal and for your investment in the Laudus Rosenberg International Equity Fund.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey Mortimer

President of the Laudus Funds

This Section summarizes the primary features and consequences of the reorganization of the Laudus Rosenberg International Equity Fund into the Schwab International Core Equity Fund (the “Reorganization”). It may not contain all of the information that is important to you. To understand the Reorganization, you should read the accompanying Prospectus/Proxy Statement and Appendix A to the Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the additional information contained elsewhere in the accompanying Prospectus/Proxy Statement, the Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information relating to the Funds and the form of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”), which is attached to the accompanying Prospectus/Proxy Statement as Appendix A.

Summary Questions and Answers

Q.	Why am I receiving the Prospectus/Proxy Statement?
A.	As more fully explained in the Prospectus/Proxy Statement, the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) of the Laudus Rosenberg International Equity Fund (the “Laudus Fund” or “Acquired Fund”) is seeking approval of the reorganization of the Laudus Fund into the Schwab International Core Equity Fund (the “Schwab Fund” or “Surviving Fund” and, together with the Laudus Fund, the “Funds”).
Q.	Who is eligible to vote?
A.	Shareholders of record of the Laudus Fund as of September 16, 2009, the record date, are entitled to notice of and to vote at the shareholder meeting or at any adjournment thereof. Shareholders of record will be entitled to one vote for each full share and a fractional vote for each fractional share that they hold as of the record date.
Q.	How will the Reorganization affect my account?
	Prior to the Reorganization, the Schwab Fund’s multiple share classes will be combined into a single share class. If the Reorganization is approved by shareholders of the Laudus Fund, each of the existing share classes of the Laudus Fund (Investor Shares and Select Shares) will be reorganized into the sole remaining share class of the Schwab Fund. Your Laudus Fund shares are expected to be exchanged for an equivalent dollar amount of Schwab Fund shares. Your account registration and account options will remain the same unless you change them. The exchange is intended to be on a tax-free basis for federal income tax purposes and therefore it is intended that your aggregate tax basis for federal income tax purposes in the account will remain the same.
Q.	How does the Board of Trustees recommend that I vote on the proposal?
A.	The Trustees recommend that shareholders vote “FOR” the proposed Reorganization. The factors considered by the Trustees in approving the Reorganization and recommending that you approve the proposal are discussed in more detail in the Prospectus/Proxy Statement.
Q.	How do I vote my shares?
A.	You can vote in any one of four ways:
	• Through the Internet by following the instructions on the enclosed proxy card(s);
	• By telephone by calling the number on the enclosed proxy card(s);
	• By mail, by signing and returning the enclosed proxy card(s) in the prepaid envelope provided if you have received the Prospectus/Proxy Statement by mail; or
	• In person at the shareholder meeting.
	We encourage you to vote over the Internet or by telephone, following the instructions that appear on your proxy card(s). These voting methods will reduce the time and costs associated with this proxy solicitation. Whichever method you choose, please take the time to read the Prospectus/Proxy Statement before you vote.
	Proxy cards that are properly signed, dated and received at or prior to the shareholder meeting will be voted as specified. If you specify a vote for the proposal, your proxy will be voted as you indicate. If you simply sign,

ii

	date and return the proxy card, but do not specify a vote for the proposal, your shares will be voted by the proxies “FOR” the Reorganization.
Q.	Will there be any federal income tax consequences as a result of the Reorganization?
A.	The Reorganization is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. Assuming the Reorganization qualifies for such treatment, shareholders will not recognize taxable gain or loss as a result of the Reorganization for federal income tax purposes. As a condition to the closing of the Reorganization, the Laudus Fund and the Schwab Fund will receive an opinion of legal counsel to the effect that the Reorganization will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. Such opinion will be subject to receipt of and based on certain representations from the Funds. Opinions of legal counsel are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts. You should separately consider any state, local and other tax consequences in consultation with your tax advisor.
Q.	What happens if the Reorganization is not approved by shareholders?
A.	If the Reorganization is not approved by shareholders, then the Laudus Fund will remain in existence, and the Trustees will consider what, if any, additional steps to take, including consideration of the possibility of liquidating the Laudus Fund.

PROSPECTUS/PROXY STATEMENT

September [  ], 2009

Acquisition of the assets and liabilities of:	By and in exchange for shares of:
Laudus Rosenberg International Equity Fund A series of Laudus Trust 211 Main Street San Francisco, CA 94105 (800) 648-5300	Schwab International Core Equity Fund A series of Schwab Capital Trust 211 Main Street San Francisco, CA 94105 (800) 435-4000

This Prospectus/Proxy Statement is being furnished to shareholders of the Laudus Rosenberg International Equity Fund (the “Laudus Fund” or the “Acquired Fund”), a series of Laudus Trust, in connection with an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) that has been approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). Under the Plan, shareholders of the Acquired Fund will receive shares of the Schwab International Core Equity Fund (the “Schwab Fund” or the “Surviving Fund” and, together with the Acquired Fund, the “Funds”), a series of Schwab Capital Trust, equal in aggregate value to the aggregate value of the assets transferred by the Acquired Fund to the Surviving Fund less the liabilities of the Acquired Fund that are assumed by the Surviving Fund, as of the closing date of the reorganization (the “Reorganization”). After the Reorganization is complete, the Acquired Fund will be terminated. The Reorganization is expected to be completed after market close on or about December 3, 2009, such that shareholders of the Acquired Fund will become shareholders of the Surviving Fund on or about December 4, 2009.

The Board believes that the Reorganization is in the best interest of the Acquired Fund and its shareholders and that the interests of the Acquired Fund’s shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. For federal income tax purposes, the Reorganization is intended to be structured as a tax-free transaction for the Acquired Fund and its shareholders.

The Acquired Fund is a series of Laudus Trust, which is a Massachusetts business trust registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as an open-end management investment company. Laudus Trust currently consists of 13 separate series, including the Acquired Fund. The Surviving Fund is a series of Schwab Capital Trust, which is a Massachusetts business trust registered with the SEC as an open-end management investment company. Schwab Capital Trust currently consists of 35 separate series, including the Surviving Fund. Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “CSIM”) serves as the investment adviser to the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund. AXA Rosenberg Investment Management LLC (the “Subadviser” or “AXA Rosenberg”) serves as the investment subadviser to the Acquired Fund. The investment objective of the Acquired Fund is to seek a total return (capital appreciation and current income) greater than that of the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (the “MSCI-EAFE Index”). In doing so, the Acquired Fund will place relatively greater emphasis on capital appreciation than on current income. The investment objective of the Surviving Fund is to seek long-term capital growth.

This Prospectus/Proxy Statement, which you should read carefully and retain for future reference, sets forth concisely the information that you should know about the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund and the Reorganization. This Prospectus/Proxy Statement and the enclosures are being mailed to shareholders on or about October [  ], 2009.

I. SYNOPSIS

The following Synopsis provides a brief overview of the key points the Acquired Fund believes are typically of concern to shareholders considering a proposed transaction such as the Reorganization. For further information and details about the proposed Reorganization, please see the entirety of the Prospectus/Proxy Statement that follows this Synopsis.

A.  The Proposed Reorganization.

The Reorganization involves the transfer of all of the assets and liabilities of the Acquired Fund to the Surviving Fund in exchange for shares of the Surviving Fund. Currently, the Surviving Fund offers three separate share classes: Investor Shares, Select Shares and Institutional Shares. The Acquired Fund offers two separate share classes: Investor Shares and Select Shares. Prior to the Reorganization, the three separate share classes of the Surviving Fund will be combined into a single class of shares of the Surviving Fund and the Surviving Fund will no longer offer separate share classes. Accordingly, shareholders of the Investor Shares and Select Shares of the Acquired Fund will receive shares of the sole remaining share class of the Surviving Fund in connection with the Reorganization.

This transfer of assets and liabilities is expected to take place after market close on or about December 3, 2009. The transfer of assets by the Acquired Fund will occur at their then-current market value as determined in accordance with the Acquired Fund’s valuation procedures, and shares of the Surviving Fund to be issued to the Acquired Fund will be valued at their then-current net asset value as determined in accordance with the Surviving Fund’s valuation procedures. Shares of the Surviving Fund will be distributed to shareholders of the Acquired Fund at the Effective Time (as defined below) in exchange for their Select Shares and Investor Shares of the Acquired Fund. After completion of the Reorganization, each shareholder of the Acquired Fund will own shares of the Surviving Fund equal in value to the current net asset value of such shareholder’s shares of the Acquired Fund. Following the completion of the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund will be liquidated and its registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) will be terminated.

The Reorganization is intended to be tax-free for federal income tax purposes. This means that shareholders of the Acquired Fund will become shareholders of the Surviving Fund without realizing any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. This also means that it is intended that the Reorganization will be tax-free for the Surviving Fund for federal income tax purposes.

The Reorganization will not occur unless approved by a majority of shareholders of the Acquired Fund. In addition, the implementation of the Reorganization is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”). Among the more significant conditions is the receipt by the Funds of an opinion of counsel to the effect that the Reorganization will be treated as a tax-free transaction to the Funds and their shareholders for federal income tax purposes, as described further below. For more information about the Reorganization, see “Information About the Reorganization” below.

CSIM will bear the costs and pay the expenses related to the preparation and assembly of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement and all mailing and other expenses associated with the proxy solicitation process and the Reorganization, which are expected to be approximately $     .

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE
“FOR” THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION

B.  Comparison of the Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies of the Acquired Fund and Surviving Fund.

The Acquired Fund and Surviving Fund have similar investment objectives. The investment objective of the Acquired Fund is to seek a total return (capital appreciation and current income) greater than that of the MSCI-EAFE Index. In doing so, the Acquired Fund will place relatively greater emphasis on capital appreciation than on current income. The investment objective of the Surviving Fund is to seek long-term capital growth.

The Acquired Fund invests in the equity securities of large foreign companies. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (including, for this purpose, any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of large foreign companies. Although the Fund invests primarily in securities of the companies included in the MSCI-EAFE Index, it may invest up to 40% of its assets in the securities of companies which are not part of the MSCI-EAFE Index but which have characteristics (such as industry classification and country of domicile) similar to those of companies included in the MSCI-EAFE Index.

There are no prescribed limits on the Acquired Fund’s geographic asset distribution; it has the authority to invest in securities traded in the markets of any country in the world. The Acquired Fund will typically invest in approximately 21 different countries across three regions: Europe, the Far East and Australia. Under normal market circumstances, the Acquired Fund’s investments will involve securities principally traded in at least three different countries, although under certain adverse investment conditions, the Acquired Fund may restrict the number of securities markets in which its assets will be invested. The Acquired Fund will not normally invest in securities of U.S. issuers traded on U.S. securities markets.

In managing the Acquired Fund, AXA Rosenberg employs a bottom-up approach to investing by evaluating the financial characteristics of individual stocks rather than forecasting the trends in markets, investment styles or sectors. AXA Rosenberg seeks to identify mispriced stocks across industries and countries, through rigorous analysis of a company’s fundamental data. AXA Rosenberg’s stock selection process is driven by proprietary technology known as “expert systems,” which are designed to analyze the fundamentals of the more than 21,000 securities currently in AXA Rosenberg’s global universe. AXA Rosenberg uses two stock selection models to evaluate the relative attractiveness of the stocks in its universe: (1) its Valuation Model estimates the fair value for each company in its database by assessing various fundamental data such as company financial statistics, and (2) its Earnings Forecast Model estimates year-ahead earnings by analyzing fundamental data and investor sentiment data such as analysts’ earnings estimates and broker buy/sell recommendations. AXA Rosenberg compares companies operating in similar businesses to identify those believed to be undervalued in relation to their peers, putting together the valuation and earnings forecast views to gain an overall perspective on the attractiveness of each stock. The Valuation Model analyzes European companies and Asian companies (other than Japanese companies) in a nearly global model (which includes the United States and Canada, but which excludes Japan), and Japanese companies in an independent national model, incorporating the various accounting standards that apply in different markets.

The Acquired Fund favors stocks that appear attractive from the perspective of the Valuation and Earnings Forecast Models while seeking to construct a portfolio that is similar to its MSCI-EAFE Index benchmark with respect to characteristics such as market capitalization, country and industry weightings, and other risk exposures. While the success of the Fund relative to its benchmark will derive from the accuracy of AXA Rosenberg’s stock selection models, other factors, such as the Fund’s industry weightings and the risks associated with specific individual stock selections, also affect the Fund’s performance.

The Surviving Fund invests primarily in the stocks of publicly traded companies located in developed countries excluding the United States. Though the Surviving Fund invests primarily in securities issued by companies located in developed countries, it may also invest in securities issued by companies located in emerging markets. The Surviving Fund considers developed countries to include Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bermuda, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The Surviving Fund considers any country that is not a developed country to be an emerging market country. The Surviving Fund may also invest in exchange-traded funds.

The Surviving Fund seeks to assemble a portfolio with long-term performance that will exceed that of the MSCI-EAFE Index. Under normal circumstances, the Surviving Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities. The Surviving Fund will notify its shareholders at least 60 days before changing this policy. The Surviving Fund typically invests a majority of its assets in the stocks of large-cap and mid-cap companies but may invest a portion of its assets in small-cap companies. In addition, the portfolio managers intend to spread the Surviving Fund’s holdings across different countries and geographic regions in an effort to manage the risks of an international portfolio.

5

To aid its stock selection, the Surviving Fund uses Charles Schwab and Co., Inc.’s (“Schwab’s”) proprietary international stock research. This research ranks stocks of publicly traded companies located in the countries in the MSCI-EAFE Index plus publicly traded stocks of companies located in certain additional countries not included in the MSCI-EAFE Index. The stocks are ranked based on factors that Schwab believes to be indicative of stocks’ performance potential. In addition, the Surviving Fund may purchase certain stocks, such as shares of real estate investment trusts (REITs) that have not been ranked by Schwab’s research.

Schwab’s research evaluates each stock on the basis of investment criteria from four broad categories: Fundamentals, Valuation, Momentum and Risk. From time to time, Schwab may update the research methodology as well as the factors underlying each broad category. The Fundamentals category evaluates stocks based upon measures derived from recent financial statement data. Stocks with attributes such as high earnings quality and profitability tend to have a better Fundamentals rank. The Valuation category examines several value-oriented investment criteria. Stocks of firms with attractive relative valuation multiples tend to have a better Valuation rank. The Momentum category is based upon several measures of investor sentiment change. Stocks with attributes such as increasing analyst earnings forecasts and strong relative price performance tend to have a better Momentum rank. The Risk category is based upon measures of company-specific investment risk. Larger stocks of high institutional investor interest tend to have a better Risk rank.

The Surviving Fund may also use additional research as a component of its overall stock selection process. This research may incorporate the analysis of factors including, but not limited to, valuation, balance sheet strength, future earnings power and trading activity to identify companies expected to outperform the broader equity market.

The Surviving Fund uses an optimization model to assist in constructing the portfolio. In portfolio optimization, the portfolio managers seek to build a portfolio they believe will provide the optimal balance between risk and expected return, subject to parameters such as the level of portfolio turnover, country and sector diversification, and volatility considerations. The Surviving Fund generally does not intend to hedge its exposure to foreign currencies.

For further information about the Funds’ investment objectives and strategies, see “Additional Information About the Surviving Fund and the Acquired Fund — Comparison of Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies of the Funds.”

C.   Comparison of the Fundamental Investment Limitations of the Acquired Fund and Surviving Fund.

The table below compares and contrasts the fundamental investment limitations of the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund. A fundamental investment limitation may be charged only by vote of a majority of a Fund’s outstanding voting shares. More complete information may be found in the respective Statements of Additional Information for the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund.

The Laudus Fund may not make loans, except by purchase of debt obligations or by entering into repurchase agreements or through the lending of the Funds’ portfolio securities.	The Schwab Fund may not make loans to other persons, except to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption therefrom, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.

LAUDUS FUND	SCHWAB FUND
Issuing Senior Securities	Issuing Senior Securities
The Laudus Fund may not issue senior securities. (For the purpose of this restriction none of the following is deemed to be a senior security: any pledge or other encumbrance of assets permitted the Fund’s restriction on pledging assets below; any borrowing permitted by the Fund’s restriction on borrowing money above; short sales permitted by the Fund’s restriction on selling securities short below; any collateral arrangements with respect to short sales, swaps, options, futures contracts and options on futures contracts and with respect to initial and variation margin; and the purchase or sale of options, futures contracts or options on futures contracts.)	The Schwab Fund may not issue senior securities, except to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption therefrom, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.
Diversification	Diversification
With respect to 75% of its total assets, the Laudus Fund may not invest in a security if, as a result of such investment, (a) more than 5% of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer, or (b) it would hold more than 10% (taken at the time of such investment) of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer, except that this restriction does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities.	The Schwab Fund may not purchase securities of an issuer, except as consistent with the maintenance of its status as an open-end diversified company under the 1940 Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption therefrom, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.
Purchases on Margin	Purchases on Margin
The Laudus Fund may not purchase securities on margin, except such short-term credits as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of securities. (For this purpose, the deposit or payment of initial or variation margin in connection with futures contracts or related options transactions is not considered the purchase of a security on margin.)	While the Schwab Fund does not have a fundamental limitation with regard to purchasing securities on margin, it does have a non-fundamental policy with regard to such matter as follows: The Schwab Fund may not purchase securities on margin, except such short-term credits as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of securities and provided that margin deposits in connection with futures contracts, options on futures or other derivative instruments shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.
Selling Short	Selling Short
The Laudus Fund may not make short sales of securities or maintain a short position if, when added together, more than 100% of the value of the Fund’s net assets would be (i) deposited as collateral for the obligation to replace securities borrowed to effect short sales, and (ii) allocated to segregated accounts in connection with short sales. Short sales “against the box” are not subject to this limitation.	While the Schwab Fund does not have a fundamental limitation with regard to selling securities short, it does have a non-fundamental policy with regard to such matter as follows: The Schwab Fund may not sell securities short unless it owns the security or the right to obtain the security or equivalent securities, or unless it covers such short sale as required by current SEC rules and interpretations (transactions in futures contracts, options and other derivative instruments are not considered selling securities short).

LAUDUS FUND	SCHWAB FUND
Pledging Assets
The Laudus Fund may not pledge, hypothecate, mortgage or otherwise encumber its assets in excess of 10% of the Fund’s total assets (taken at cost) and then only to secure borrowings permitted by the Fund’s restriction on borrowing money above. (For the purposes of this restriction, collateral arrangements with respect to options, short sales, stock index, interest rate, currency or other futures, options on futures contracts and collateral arrangements with respect to initial and variation margin are not deemed to be a pledge or other encumbrance of assets. Collateral arrangements with respect to swaps and other derivatives are also not deemed to be a pledge or other encumbrance of assets.)	The Schwab fund does not have a fundamental or non-fundamental limitation with regard to pledging assets.

D.  Fees and Expenses.

The Surviving Fund pays a lower management fee than the Acquired Fund. Further, after the Reorganization, the Surviving Fund’s net operating expenses are expected to be lower than the Acquired Fund’s current total and net operating expenses. As discussed in the footnotes to the fee table, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.’s (“Schwab”) and CSIM’s agreement to limit the net operating expenses of the Surviving Fund continues for so long as CSIM serves as the investment adviser to the Surviving Fund. As discussed above, prior to the Reorganization, the Surviving Fund’s three existing share classes will be combined into a single class of shares of the Surviving Fund and the Surviving Fund will no longer offer separate share classes. Accordingly, shareholders of the Acquired Fund will receive shares of the sole remaining share class of the Surviving Fund in connection with the Reorganization.

The following table sets forth: (i) the fees and expenses of the Select Shares and Investor Shares of the Laudus Fund as of April 30, 2009; (ii) the fees and expenses of the Schwab Fund as of April 30, 2009, restated to reflect the fees and expenses of the Schwab Fund as if the combination of the Schwab Fund’s three share classes into a single class shares occurred on April 30, 2009; and (iii) the estimated fees and expenses of the Schwab Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization, based on pro forma combined assets as of April 30, 2009.

As reflected in the footnotes to the fee table, certain fees and expenses of the Schwab Fund have been restated to reflect fund fees and expenses as of July 1, 2009. Specifically, the fees of the Schwab Fund have been restated to reflect the Schwab Fund’s current management fee and other expenses, which include a shareholder servicing fee of 0.25%. “Shareholder Fees” are charged to you directly by a Fund. “Annual Fund Operating Expenses” are paid out

of Fund assets, so their effect is included in a Fund’s total return or the total return of each share class of a Fund, as applicable.

1	Charged only to shares redeemed or exchanged within 30 days of purchase. Laudus Trust reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to waive this fee when, in its judgment, such waiver would be in the best interests of the Laudus Trust or the Laudus Fund. The Laudus Fund charges no other redemption fees.
2	Pursuant to the Adviser’s contractual undertaking (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”) the Adviser has agreed to waive its management fee and bear certain expenses for the Select and Investor classes of the Laudus Fund when the operating expenses reach 1.12% and 1.40%, respectively (exclusive of nonrecurring account fees, fees on securities transactions such as exchange fees, dividends and interest on securities sold short, service fees, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business). The Expense Limitation Agreement will be in place until at least July 30, 2011. The Adviser may, but is not required to, extend the Agreement for additional years. Any amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular fiscal year will be subject to reimbursement by the Laudus Fund to the Adviser during the next two fiscal years to the extent that the repayment will not cause the Laudus Fund’s Net operating expenses to exceed the current limit (as stated in the Expense Limitation Agreement) during the respective year.
3	Currently, the Schwab Fund offers three separate share classes: Investor Shares, Select Shares and Institutional Shares. Prior to the Reorganization, these three separate share classes will be combined into a single share class of the Schwab Fund and the Schwab Fund will no longer offer separate shares classes. Accordingly, the shareholders of the Laudus Fund will receive shares of the sole remaining share class of the Schwab Fund in connection with the Reorganization. The fees and expenses of the Schwab Fund have been restated to reflect the fees and expenses of the Schwab Fund as if the combination of the Schwab Fund’s three share classes into a single class of shares occurred on April 30, 2009.

6	Restated to reflect the Schwab Fund’s current fees and expenses as of July 1, 2009 and to give effect to the combination of the Schwab Fund’s three existing share classes into a single share class as if such combination occurred on April 30, 2009. Other expenses include a shareholder servicing fee of 0.25%.
7	Effective May 5, 2009, Schwab and the Adviser have agreed to limit the “Net operating expenses” of the Schwab Fund to 0.86% (excluding interest, taxes and certain non-routine expenses) for so long as the Adviser serves as the investment adviser to the Schwab Fund. This agreement may only be amended or terminated with the approval of the Schwab Fund’s Board of Trustees.

Example: This Example is intended to help you compare the current cost of investing in the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund, and also allows you to compare these costs with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in a Fund for the time periods indicated and that you sell your shares at the end of the period. In addition, the Example assumes that each year your investment has a 5% return, a Fund’s operating expenses remain the same and you reinvest all dividends and distributions. The expenses would be the same whether you stayed in the Funds or sold your shares at the end of the period. The figures for the Schwab Fund and Pro Forma Combined Schwab Fund are based on “Net operating expenses.” The one-year figures for the Laudus Fund are based on “Net operating expenses.”

* Currently, the Schwab Fund offers three separate share classes: Investor Shares, Select Shares and Institutional Shares. Prior to the Reorganization, these three separate share classes will be combined into a single share class of the Schwab Fund and the Schwab Fund will no longer offer separate shares classes. Accordingly, the shareholders of the Laudus Fund will receive shares of the sole remaining share class of the Schwab Fund in connection with the Reorganization. The fees and expenses of the Schwab Fund have been restated to reflect the fees and expenses of the Schwab Fund as if the combination of the Surviving Fund’s three share classes into a single class of shares occurred on April 30, 2009.

The projected post-Reorganization pro forma Annual Fund Operating Expenses and Example Expenses presented above are based on numerous material assumptions, including (1) that the current contractual agreements will remain in place and (2) that certain fixed costs involved in operating the Acquired Fund will be eliminated. Although these projections represent good faith estimates, there can be no assurance that any particular level of expenses or expense savings will be achieved because expenses depend on a variety of factors, including the future level of the Surviving Fund’s assets, many of which are beyond the control of the Surviving Fund and the Adviser.

E.  Purchase and Redemption Procedures; Exchange Procedures; Dividends, Distributions and Pricing.

The chart below highlights the purchase, redemption and exchange/conversion features of the Laudus Fund as compared to such features of the Schwab Fund.

1	Only Eligible Investors (as defined below) may purchase, redeem or exchange/convert shares directly from the Schwab Fund’s transfer agent. All other investors must purchase, redeem or exchange/convert their shares through an authorized intermediary. The Schwab Fund reserves the right to determine which potential investors qualify as Eligible Investors. Shareholders of the Acquired Fund that hold their Acquired Fund shares directly with the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent and that receive shares of the Schwab Fund in connection with the Reorganization will be considered “Eligible Investors” of the Schwab Fund.
2	Only certain intermediaries are authorized to accept orders on behalf of the Schwab Fund. If your fund shares are not held by an authorized intermediary, the Schwab Fund reserves the right to redeem your shares. Intermediaries holding shares of the Acquired Fund at the Effective Time of the Reorganization will be considered authorized intermediaries of the Schwab Fund after the Reorganization. Accordingly, shareholders of the Acquired Fund with accounts at such intermediaries at the Effective Time of the Reorganization will be permitted to transact with the Schwab Fund through such intermediaries after the Reorganization.
3	Investor Shares may be purchased by institutions, certain individual retirement accounts and individuals. In order to be eligible to purchase Investor Shares, an investor must make an initial investment of at least $100 in the Laudus Fund. In its sole discretion, CSIM may waive this minimum investment requirement. CSIM may waive this investment minimum for the benefit plans described in footnote 4, and for accounts held through certain intermediaries, including those who have made arrangements with the Laudus Fund to offer shares to their clients as part of various asset allocation programs.
4	Select Shares may be purchased by institutions such as endowments and foundations, plan sponsors of 401(a), 401(k), 457 and 403(b) benefit plans and individuals, including clients of investment advisers. In order to be eligible to purchase Select Shares, an investor must make an initial investment of at least $50,000 in the Laudus Fund. Investment advisers may aggregate investments across client accounts in order to reach this minimum

12

	investment requirement. In its sole discretion, CSIM may waive this minimum investment requirement. CSIM may waive this investment minimum for the benefit plans described above, for certain wrap accounts, and for accounts held through certain intermediaries. The minimum may also be waived for certain other investors, including directors, officers and employees of Charles Schwab and AXA Rosenberg.
5	On May 5, 2009, the investment minimum of the Select Shares and Institutional Shares of the Schwab Fund was lowered to $100 to match the existing investment minimum of the Schwab Fund’s Investor Shares. This action was taken in preparation for the Schwab Fund’s share class combination, which will occur prior to the Reorganization. At the time of the Reorganization, shares of the Schwab Fund will have an investment minimum of $100 and no minimum subsequent investment requirement or minimum balance requirement. These minimums may be waived for certain retirement plans, including Schwab Corporate Services retirement plans, and plan participants, and for shareholders who roll into an IRA from an exempted retirement plan. These minimums may also be waived for certain other investors, including trustees, officers and employees of Schwab, and for certain investment programs, including programs for education savings or charitable giving.
6	Subject to certain limitations, shares of a Fund, including any class of shares, may be exchanged or converted into shares of any other Fund of the Laudus Trust, or class of shares. In order to convert your shares to another class of shares, you must satisfy the minimum requirements for the new class of shares.
7	Subject to certain limitations, shares of the Schwab Fund may be exchanged or converted into shares of any other Schwab mutual fund or Laudus MarketMasters Fund that is not a sweep investment. In order to exchange or convert your shares to another fund or class of shares, you must meet the minimum investment and other requirements for the fund and share class into which you are exchanging or converting.

For further information about the purchase, redemption and exchange/conversion features of the Laudus Fund as compared to such features of the Schwab Fund, see “Additional Information About the Surviving Fund and the Acquired Fund — Shareholder Information”.

Shareholders of the Acquired Fund may continue to redeem Fund shares and existing investors of the Acquired Fund may continue to purchase Fund shares at any time prior to the close of business on December 2, 2009. The holding period for purposes of calculating any applicable redemption fee in shares of the Acquired Fund will carry over to the shares of the Surviving Fund received in connection with the Reorganization.

The Acquired Fund intends to pay out as dividends substantially all of its net income and net short-term and long-term capital gains (after reduction by any available capital loss carry-forwards). The Acquired Fund’s policy is to (i) declare and pay distributions of its dividends and interest annually and (ii) distribute net short-term capital gains and net long-term gains annually although, in each case, it may do so more frequently as determined by the Trustees of Laudus Trust.

The Surviving Fund distributes to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains, if any. These distributions typically are paid in December to all shareholders of record.

The Funds determine their net asset value per share as of the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). A Fund’s share price is its net asset value per share, or NAV, which is the Fund’s net assets divided by the number of its shares outstanding. Orders to buy, sell or exchange shares that are received by a Fund in good order on or prior to the close of the Fund (generally 4 p.m. Eastern time) will be executed at the next share price calculated that day.

In valuing their securities, the Funds use market quotes or official closing prices if they are readily available. In cases where quotes are not readily available, a Fund may value securities based on fair values developed using methods approved by the Trustees of the Laudus Trust and Schwab Capital Trust. The Funds’ procedures for valuing their assets are the same.

II. PRINCIPAL RISK FACTORS.

The principal risks of investments in the Acquired Fund and Surviving Fund are similar. As with any stock mutual fund, you may lose money if you invest in a Fund. Among the principal risks that could adversely affect the value of the Acquired Fund’s and the Surviving Fund’s shares and cause you to lose money on your investment are:

Risks Applicable to Acquired Fund and Surviving Fund

Investment Risk	An investment in the Funds involves risks similar to those of investing in common stocks directly. Just as with common stocks, the value of Fund shares may increase or decrease depending on market, economic, political, regulatory and other conditions affecting a Fund’s portfolio. These types of risks may be greater with respect to investments in securities of foreign issuers. Investment in shares of the Funds is, like an investment in common stocks, more volatile and risky than some other forms of investment. This risk is significant for both Funds.
Management Risk	The Acquired Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. This is the risk that AXA Rosenberg will make poor stock selections. AXA Rosenberg will apply its investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that they will produce the desired results. In some cases, certain investments may be unavailable or AXA Rosenberg may not choose certain investments under market conditions when, in retrospect, their use would have been beneficial to the Fund.
	The Surviving Fund is subject to management risk because CSIM makes investment decisions for the Fund using a strategy based largely on historical information. There is no guarantee that a strategy based on historical information will produce the desired results in the future. In addition, if market dynamics change, the effectiveness of this strategy may be limited. Either of these risks may cause the Surviving Fund to underperform its benchmark or other funds with a similar investment objective. The Surviving Fund may invest in stocks that have not been ranked by Schwab’s research, and these stocks may underperform the Surviving Fund’s stocks that have been ranked by Schwab’s research.
Risk of Investments in Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs)	Each Fund may purchase shares of ETFs to gain exposure to a particular portion of the market while awaiting an opportunity to purchase securities directly. When a Fund invests in an ETF, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a pro rata portion of the ETF’s expenses. The risks of owning shares of an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities the ETF is designed to track, although lack of liquidity in an ETF can result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities. In addition, because of ETF expenses, compared to owning the underlying securities directly, it may be more costly to own an ETF.
Securities Lending Risk	Each Fund may lend its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions provided a number of conditions are satisfied, including that the loan is fully collateralized. When a Fund

14

	lends portfolio securities, its investment performance will continue to reflect changes in the value of the securities loaned, and the Fund also will receive a fee or interest on the collateral. Securities lending involves the risk of loss of rights in the collateral or delay in recovery of the collateral if the borrower fails to return the security loaned or becomes insolvent. The Funds will also bear the risk of any decline in value of securities acquired with cash collateral. A Fund may pay lending fees to a party arranging the loan.
Foreign Investment Risk	Each Fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions, or changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges). In certain countries, legal remedies available to investors may be more limited than those available with respect to investments in the United States. The securities of some foreign companies may be less liquid and, at times, more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. The fund may also experience more rapid or extreme changes in value as compared to a fund that invests solely in securities of U.S. companies because the securities’ markets of many foreign countries are relatively small, with a limited number of companies representing a small number of industries.
Currency Risk	As a result of its investments in securities denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies, each Fund will be subject to currency risk. This is the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. Dollar, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. Dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged. In either event, the dollar value of an investment in the Funds would be adversely affected.

Each Fund has one or more additional principal risks to which an investment in the other Fund is not exposed, as shown in the table below.

Risk Applicable to the Acquired Fund	Risks Applicable to the Surviving Fund
Large-Size Company Risk. Stocks of large-size companies tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. As a result, during a period when these stocks fall behind other types of investments — bonds or stocks of mid- or small-size companies, for instance — the Acquired Fund’s performance also will lag those investments.	Large- and Mid-Cap Risk. Many of the risks of the Surviving Fund are associated with its investment in large- and mid-cap international stocks. Both large- and mid-cap stocks tend to go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. However, stocks of mid-cap companies tend to be more volatile than those of large-cap companies because mid-cap companies tend to be more susceptible to adverse business or economic events than larger more established companies. During a period when large- and mid-cap stocks fall behind other types of investments — small-cap stocks, for instance — the Surviving Fund’s performance also will lag these investments.
	Emerging Market Risk. Emerging markets may be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid changes in market or economic conditions than more developed countries. Emerging market countries often have less

15

Risk Applicable to the Acquired Fund	Risks Applicable to the Surviving Fund
	uniformity in accounting and reporting requirements and unreliable securities valuation. It is sometimes difficult to obtain and enforce court judgments in such countries and there is often a greater potential for nationalization and/or expropriation of assets by the government of an emerging market country. In addition, the financial stability of issuers (including governments) in emerging market countries may be more precarious than in other countries. As a result, there will tend to be an increased risk of price volatility associated with the Surviving Fund’s investments in emerging market countries, which may be magnified by currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar.
	REITs Risk. The Surviving Fund’s investments in REITs will be subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate. Risks commonly associated with the direct ownership of real estate include fluctuations in the value of underlying properties, defaults by borrowers or tenants, changes in interest rates and risks related to general or local economic conditions. In addition to the risks associated with investing in securities of real estate companies, REITs are subject to certain additional risks. Equity REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying properties owned by the trusts, and mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit extended. Further, REITs are dependent upon specialized management skills and may have their investments in relatively few properties, or in a small geographic area or a single property type. REITs are also subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers and self-liquidation. In addition, REITs could possibly fail to qualify for tax free pass-through of income under the Internal Revenue Code, or to maintain their exemptions from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The failure of a company to qualify as a REIT under federal tax law may have adverse consequences to the Surviving Fund. The above factors may also adversely affect a borrower’s or a lessee’s ability to meet its obligations to the REIT. In the event of a default by a borrower or lessee, the REIT may experience delays in enforcing its rights as a mortgagee or lessor and may incur substantial costs associated with protecting its investments. In addition, REITs have their own expenses, and the Surviving Fund will bear a proportionate share of those expenses.
	Small-Cap Risk. Historically, small-cap stocks have been riskier than large- and mid-cap stocks. Stock prices of smaller companies may be based in substantial part on future expectations rather than current achievements and

16

Risk Applicable to the Acquired Fund	Risks Applicable to the Surviving Fund
	may move sharply, especially during market upturns and downturns. Small-cap companies themselves may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. During a period when small-cap stocks fall behind other types of investments — bonds or large-cap stocks, for instance — the Surviving Fund’s performance could be reduced to the extent its portfolio is holding small- cap stocks.
	Derivatives Risk. The Surviving Fund may use derivatives (including futures) to enhance returns or hedge against market declines. The Surviving Fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. These risks could cause the Surviving Fund to lose more than the principal amount invested. In addition, investments in derivatives may involve leverage, which means a small percentage of assets invested in derivatives can have a disproportionately larger impact on the Surviving Fund.

III. INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATION

A.  Material Features of the Plan.

The Plan sets forth the terms and conditions of the Reorganization. Material provisions of the Plan are summarized below; however, this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan, a form of which is attached as Appendix A to this Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

At the consummation of the Reorganization, which is expected to occur at the close of business on or about December 3, 2009 (the “Effective Time”), all of the assets and liabilities of the Acquired Fund will be transferred to the Surviving Fund in exchange for shares of the Surviving Fund, such that at and after the Effective Time, the assets and liabilities of the Acquired Fund will become the assets and liabilities of the Surviving Fund. The transfer of assets by the Acquired Fund will occur at their then-current market value as determined in accordance with the Acquired Fund’s valuation procedures and shares of the Surviving Fund to be issued to the Acquired Fund shall be valued at their then-current net asset value determined in accordance with the Surviving Fund’s valuation procedures. Shares of the Surviving Fund will be distributed to shareholders of the Acquired Fund in exchange for their shares of the Acquired Fund. After completion of the Reorganization, each shareholder of the Acquired Fund will own shares of the Surviving Fund equal in value to the current net asset value of such shareholder’s shares of the Acquired Fund. Following the completion of the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund will be liquidated and its registration under the 1940 Act will be terminated.

The Plan provides that the Board will declare a dividend or dividends with respect to the Acquired Fund prior to the Effective Time. This dividend, together with all previous dividends, will have the effect of distributing to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund all undistributed ordinary income earned and net capital gains recognized up to and including the Effective Time. The shareholders of the Acquired Fund will recognize ordinary income and capital gain with respect to this distribution and such income and gain may be subject to federal, state and/or local taxes.

Prior to the Effective Time, the Adviser reserves the right to sell portfolio securities and/or purchase other securities for the Acquired Fund, to the extent necessary so that the asset composition of the Acquired Fund is consistent with the investment policies and restrictions of the Surviving Fund. To the extent the Acquired Fund sells securities at a gain, current shareholders may receive a capital gain dividend. Transaction costs associated with any such purchases and sales would be borne by the Acquired Fund, which would result in a decrease in the Acquired Fund’s net asset value.

The stock transfer books of Laudus Trust with respect to the Acquired Fund will be permanently closed as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Effective Time. Redemption requests received thereafter by Laudus Trust with respect to the Acquired Fund will be deemed to be redemption requests for shares of the Surviving Fund issued pursuant to the Plan. If any shares of the Acquired Fund are represented by a share certificate, the certificate must be surrendered to Laudus Trust’s transfer agent for cancellation before the Surviving Fund shares issuable to the shareholder pursuant to the Plan will be redeemed. The Surviving Fund does not expect to issue share certificates with respect to the Surviving Fund. Any special options relating to a shareholder’s account in the Acquired Fund will transfer over to the Surviving Fund without the need for the shareholder to take any action.

The Reorganization is subject to a number of conditions as set forth in the Plan, a form of which is attached hereto as Appendix A. Except as set forth below, Laudus Trust or Schwab Capital Trust, by consent of its Board or an officer authorized by the Board, may waive any condition to the obligations of the Acquired Fund or the Surviving Fund, respectively, under the Plan if, in its or such officer’s judgment, such waiver will not have a material adverse effect on the interests of the shareholders of the Acquired Fund or the shareholders of the Surviving Fund. Certain conditions under the Plan cannot be waived by Laudus Trust or Schwab Capital Trust, including the conditions that the Reorganization be approved by the shareholders of the Acquired Fund and that the Funds receive a favorable tax opinion from Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP. The Board of Laudus Trust or the Board of Schwab Capital Trust may abandon the Plan and the Reorganization at any time for any reason prior to the Effective Time. The Plan provides further that at any time prior to the Reorganization the Funds may amend any of the provisions of the Plan; provided, however, that (i) no such amendment may have the effect of changing the provisions for determining the number of the Surviving Fund shares to be issued to the Acquired Fund shareholders under the Plan to the detriment of such Acquired Fund shareholders; and (ii) the Board of Laudus Trust and the Board of Schwab Capital Trust determine that such amendment is in the best interest of shareholders of the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund, respectively.

The Adviser will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the Reorganization, including the costs of the proxy solicitation and tabulation. The estimated costs are $60,000.

The Trustees of the Acquired Fund have voted to approve the proposed Reorganization. The Trustees recommend that shareholders of the Acquired Fund also approve the proposed Reorganization. The actions contemplated by the Plan and the related matters described therein will be consummated only if approved by the affirmative vote of the majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Acquired Fund.

B.  Description of Reorganization Shares.

Shares of the Surviving Fund will be issued to the Acquired Fund’s shareholders in accordance with the Plan. Currently, the Surviving Fund offers three separate share classes: Investor Shares, Select Shares and Institutional Shares. Prior to the Reorganization, these three separate share classes will be combined into a single class of shares of the Surviving Fund and shareholders of Investor Shares and Select Shares of the Acquired Fund will receive shares of the sole remaining share class of the Surviving Fund in connection with the Reorganization. The following summarizes some key information about the shares of the Surviving Fund that will be received by shareholders of the Acquired Fund:

•  The initial minimum investment of the Surviving Fund is $100. There is no minimum balance requirement or subsequent investment minimum.

•  Similar to the Acquired Fund, the Surviving Fund imposes a 2.00% redemption fee for shares that are sold or exchanged 30 days or less after buying them. This redemption fee is paid directly to the Surviving Fund. The Surviving Fund reserves the right to waive this redemption fee if it believes that such a waiver is in the best interests of the Fund and its long-term shareholders.

•  Unlike the Investor Shares of the Acquired Fund, shares of the Surviving Fund will not be subject to any distribution and shareholder service fee (Rule 12b-1 fee). However, shares of the Surviving Fund are subject to a non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder servicing fee of 0.25%.

•  Unlike the Investor Shares of the Acquired Fund, shares of the Surviving Fund will not be subject to a fee for sub-accounting and sub-transfer agency services.

For additional information about the Surviving Fund’s shares, see “Additional Information about the Funds — Shareholder Information.”

C.  Reasons for the Reorganization.

The Board considered the Reorganization at a meeting held on July 30, 2009, and the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Laudus Trust as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, approved the Plan. In approving the Reorganization, the Board determined that (i) participation in the Reorganization is in the best interest of the Acquired Fund and its shareholders; and (ii) the interests of the Acquired Fund’s shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.

In making this determination, the Board considered a number of factors, including:

•  the similarity of the investment objective and investment strategies of the Acquired Fund to those of the Surviving Fund, and the resulting overlap in underlying portfolio holdings;

•  the possibility that greater aggregate assets upon consummation of the Reorganization would allow the Surviving Fund to take advantage of the possible benefits of a larger asset base, including future economies of scale and spreading costs across a larger asset base to the potential benefit of all shareholders;

•  that the current management fee rate paid by the Surviving Fund is less than that paid by the Acquired Fund;

•  that the Adviser and Schwab have agreed to limit the “net operating expenses” (excluding interest, taxes and certain non-routine expenses) of the Surviving Fund to 0.86% for so long as the Adviser serves as the investment adviser to the Fund, resulting in an overall expense reduction for Acquired Fund shareholders;

•  the future prospects of the Acquired Fund if the Reorganization was not effected, including the Acquired Fund’s continuing viability as a stand-alone series of Laudus Trust;

19

•  that the expenses of the Reorganization would not be borne by the Acquired Fund’s shareholders;

•  the reasonableness of the terms of the Plan; and

•  that the Reorganization is intended to be tax-free for federal income tax purposes for shareholders of the Acquired Fund.

The Board of the Surviving Fund has also determined that (i) participation in the Reorganization is in the best interest of the Surviving Fund and its shareholders; and (ii) the interests of the Surviving Fund’s shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.

D.  Federal Income Tax Consequences.

Each Fund intends to qualify as of the Effective Time as a “regulated investment company” under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Accordingly, each of the Funds has been, and expects to continue to be, relieved of all or substantially all federal income taxes. Consummation of the transaction is subject to the condition that the Funds receive an opinion from Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, subject to appropriate factual assumption and customary representations, to the effect that for federal income tax purposes:

(1) The transfer of all of the assets and liabilities of the Acquired Fund to the Surviving Fund in exchange for shares of the Surviving Fund and the distribution to shareholders of the Acquired Fund of shares of the Surviving Fund, as described in the Plan, will constitute a tax-free “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund each will be considered “a party to a reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code;

(2) No gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquired Fund upon the transfer of all of its assets to the Surviving Fund solely in exchange for the issuance of shares of the Surviving Fund and the assumption by the Surviving Fund of the Acquired Fund’s liabilities, if any, or upon the distribution by the Acquired Fund to its shareholders of shares of the Surviving Fund received as a result of the Reorganization;

(3) No gain or loss will be recognized by the Surviving Fund upon the receipt by it of all of the assets of the Acquired Fund in exchange solely for the issuance of shares of the Surviving Fund and the assumption by the Surviving Fund of the Acquired Fund’s liabilities, if any;

(4) The aggregate adjusted tax basis of the Surviving Fund shares received by a shareholder of the Acquired Fund will be the same as the tax basis of the shareholder’s Acquired Fund shares immediately prior to the Reorganization;

(5) The adjusted tax basis of the assets received by the Surviving Fund pursuant to the Reorganization will be the same as the tax basis of the assets in the hands of the Acquired Fund immediately before the Reorganization;

(6) The holding period for the shares of the Surviving Fund received by the Acquired Fund’s shareholders will include the holding period of the Acquired Fund shares surrendered in exchange therefor, provided that the shareholder held such shares of the Acquired Fund as capital assets; and

(7) The holding period for the Surviving Fund with respect to the assets of the Acquired Fund received in the Reorganization will include the period for which such assets were held by the Acquired Fund.

No opinion will be expressed as to the effect of the Reorganization on (i) the Acquired Fund or the Surviving Fund with respect to any asset as to which any unrealized gain or loss is required to be recognized for federal income tax purposes at the end of a taxable year (or on the termination or transfer thereof) under a mark-to-market system of accounting and (ii) any Acquired Fund or the Surviving Fund shareholder that is required to recognize unrealized gains and losses for federal income tax purposes under a mark-to-market system of accounting.

As of March 31, 2009, the Acquired Fund had unutilized capital loss carryforwards of approximately $13,664,040. Such capital loss carryforwards of the Acquired Fund incurred will expire October 31, 2016. The final amount of the Acquired Fund’s unutilized capital loss carryforwards, however, is subject to change and will not be finally determined until the Effective Time of the Reorganization. Under Section 382 of the Code, the ability of the Surviving Fund to fully utilize the capital loss carryforwards of the Acquired Fund may be limited because the Reorganization will result in a change in control of the Acquired Fund. Therefore, the capital loss carryforwards that

20

may be utilized as tax deductions by the Surviving Fund will be limited each taxable year to an amount equal to the value of the capital stock of the Acquired Fund at the time of the Reorganization multiplied by an interest rate set monthly by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) that approximates a tax-exempt bond yield.

The Funds have not sought a tax ruling on the federal tax consequences of the Reorganization from the IRS. The opinion to be received from Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, with respect to the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization described in this section is not binding on the IRS and does not preclude the IRS from adopting a contrary position.

Shareholders should consult their own advisors concerning the potential tax consequences to them, including state and local income tax consequences.

E.  Shareholder Rights, Description of the Securities to be Issued.

Laudus Trust and Schwab Capital Trust are each organized as a Massachusetts business trust. A description of the material differences between the provisions of the Laudus Trust’s governing documents and Schwab Capital Trust’s governing documents is described in the table below.

	Laudus Trust	Schwab Capital Trust
Shareholder voting rights	The Laudus Declaration of Trust provides that shareholders have the right to vote only for (i) for the election of Trustees as provided in Article IV, Section 1, (ii) with respect to any amendment of this Declaration of Trust to the extent and as provided in Article IX, Section 8, (iii) to the same extent as the stockholders of a Massachusetts business corporation as to whether or not a court action, proceeding or claim should or should not be brought or maintained derivatively or as a class action on behalf of the Trust or the Shareholders, (iv) with respect to the termination of the Trust or any Series or Class to the extent and as provided in Article IX, Section 4, and (v) with respect to such additional matters relating to the Trust as may be required by this Declaration of Trust, the By-Laws or any registration of the Trust with the Commission (or any successor agency) or any state, or as the Trustees may consider necessary or desirable.	The Schwab By-Laws provide that shareholders have the right to vote only for (i) for the election of Trustees as provided in the Declaration of Trust, provided, however, that no meeting of Shareholders is required to be called for the purpose of electing Trustees unless and until such time as less than a majority of the Trustees have been elected by the shareholders, (ii) with respect to any manager or sub-adviser as provided in the Declaration of Trust to the extent required by the 1940 Act, (iii) with respect to any termination of the Trust to the extent and as provided in the Declaration of Trust, (iv) with respect to any amendment of the Declaration of Trust to the extent and as provided in the Declaration of Trust, (v) to the same extent as the stockholders of a Massachusetts business corporation as to whether or not a court action, proceeding or claim should or should not be brought or maintained derivatively or as a class action on behalf of the Trust or the shareholders, and (vi) with respect to such additional matters relating to the Trust as may be required by law, the Declaration of Trust, By-Laws or any registration of the Trust with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (or any successor agency) or any state, or as the Trustees may consider necessary or desirable.

21

	Laudus Trust	Schwab Capital Trust
Quorum for Shareholder Meetings	The Laudus Trust Declaration of Trust states that a quorum is met when 40% of the shares entitled to vote are present.	The Schwab By-Laws state that a quorum is met when at least a majority of the shares entitled to vote are present.
Amendment to the Declaration of Trust	The Laudus Declaration of Trust may be amended at any time by an instrument in writing signed by a majority of the then Trustees when authorized so to do by vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote, except that amendments described in Article III, Section 5 of the Declaration of Trust or having the purpose of changing the name of the Trust or of supplying any omission, curing any ambiguity or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective or inconsistent provision contained herein shall not require authorization by shareholder vote.	The Schwab Declaration of Trust may be amended at any time by an instrument in writing signed by a majority of the then Trustees when authorized to do so by vote of shareholders holding a majority of the shares of each series entitled to vote, except that an amendment which shall affect the holders of one or more series of shares but not the holders of all outstanding series shall be authorized by vote of the shareholders holding a majority of the shares entitled to vote of each series affected and no vote of shareholders of a series not affected shall be required. Amendments having the purpose of changing the name of the Trust, of establishing, changing, or eliminating the par value of the shares or of supplying any omission, curing any ambiguity or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective or inconsistent provision contained in the Declaration of Trust shall not require authorization by shareholder vote.
Termination of the fund, series or class	The Laudus Declaration of Trust provides that the Trust may be terminated at any time by vote of at least 66-2/3% of the shares of each series entitled to vote and voting separately by series or by the Trustees by written notice to the shareholders. Any series may be terminated at any time by vote of at least 66-2/3% of the shares of that series or by the Trustees by written notice to the shareholders of that series. Any class may be separately terminated at any time by vote of at least a majority of the shares of that class present and voting on the question (a quorum being present) or by the Trustees by written notice to the shareholders of that class.	The Schwab Declaration of Trust provides that the Trust may be terminated at any time by the vote of shareholders holding at least a majority of the shares of each series entitled to vote or by the Trustees by written notice to the shareholders. Any series of shares may be terminated at any time by vote of shareholders holding at least a majority of the shares of such series entitled to vote or by the Trustees by written notice to the shareholders of such series.

22

	Laudus Trust	Schwab Capital Trust
Merger, consolidation or conversion	The Laudus Declaration of Trust provides that the Trustees may cause the Trust to be merged into or consolidated with another trust or company or its shares exchanged under or pursuant to any state or federal statute, if any, or otherwise to the extent permitted by law, if such merger or consolidation or share exchange has been authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding shares; provided that in all respects not governed by statute or applicable law, the Trustees shall have power to prescribe the procedure necessary or appropriate to accomplish a sale of assets, merger or consolidation. Trustees may, without approval of the relevant shareholders, amend the Declaration of Trust to combine one or more series or classes of the Trust into a single series or class on such terms and conditions as the Trustees shall determine.	The Schwab Declaration of Trust provides that any series of the Trust may reorganize or merge with one or more other series of the Trust or of another investment company. Any such reorganization or merger shall be pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in an agreement and plan of reorganization authorized and approved by the Trustees and entered into by the relevant series in connection therewith. In addition, such reorganization or merger may be authorized by vote of a majority of the Trustees then in office and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, without the approval of shareholders of any series.

Each share in the Surviving Fund represents an equal proportionate interest in the Surviving Fund with other shares of the same class, and is entitled to such dividends and distributions out of the income earned on the assets belonging to the Surviving Fund as are declared in the discretion of Schwab Capital Trust’s Board. When sold in accordance with its Agreement and Declaration of Trust, and for the consideration described in its registration statement, shares of the Surviving Fund will be fully paid and non-assessable.

Surviving Fund shares have no preemptive rights and only such conversion or exchange rights as the Board may grant in its discretion. In the event of a liquidation or dissolution of the Surviving Fund, its shareholders are entitled to receive the assets available for distribution belonging to the Surviving Fund and a proportionate distribution, based upon the relative asset values of the Schwab Capital Trust’s portfolios, of any general assets of Schwab Capital Trust not belonging to any particular portfolio of Schwab Capital Trust which are available for distribution. In the event of a liquidation or dissolution of Schwab Capital Trust, its shareholders will be entitled to the same distribution process.

F.  Capitalization.

The Surviving Fund’s total capitalization after the Reorganization will be greater than the current capitalization of the Acquired Fund as a result of the combination of the Acquired Fund with the Surviving Fund. As discussed above, prior to the Reorganization, the Surviving Fund’s existing share classes will be combined into a single class of shares of the Surviving Fund and the shareholders of the Acquired Fund will receive shares of the sole remaining share class of the Surviving Fund in connection with the Reorganization. The following table sets forth:

(1) the capitalization of each share class of the Acquired Fund as of April 30, 2009 (unaudited);

(2) the capitalization of each share class of the Surviving Fund as of April 30, 2009 (unaudited); and

(3) the pro forma capitalization of the Surviving Fund as adjusted to give effect to the Reorganization and the combination of the Surviving Fund’s three share classes into a single class of shares as if such combination occurred on April 30, 2009 (unaudited).

(a)

Currently, the Surviving Fund offers three separate share classes: Investor Shares, Select Shares and Institutional Shares. Prior to the Reorganization, these three separate share classes will be combined into a single class of shares of the Surviving Fund and the Surviving Fund will no longer offer separate share classes. Accordingly, shareholders of the Acquired Fund will receive shares of the sole remaining share class of the Surviving Fund in connection with the Reorganization. The capitalization of the Pro Forma Combined Schwab Fund (Surviving Fund) has been calculated as if the combination of the Surviving Fund’s three share classes into a single class of shares occurred on April 30, 2009.

(b)

Figure reflects the issuance by the Surviving Fund of approximately 7,900,679 shares to the Acquired Fund’s shareholders in connection with the proposed Reorganization, and 4,957,575 shares to the shareholders of Surviving Fund’s Investor and Select Shares in connection with the share class combination.

This information is for informational purposes only. There is, of course, no assurance that the Reorganization will be consummated. Moreover, if consummated, the capitalization of the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund is likely to be different at the Effective Time as a result of market movements and daily share purchase and redemption activity in the Funds. Accordingly, the foregoing should not be relied upon to reflect the number of shares of the Surviving Fund that actually will be received on or after such date.

IV. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE
SURVIVING FUND AND THE ACQUIRED FUND

A.  Performance History.

Set forth below is past performance information for the Acquired Fund. Because the Surviving Fund has less than one calendar year of performance, performance information is not shown for the Surviving Fund.

The following total returns information shows the returns of the Acquired Fund before and after taxes, and compares the performance (which varies over time) of the Fund to that of an index. The index is unmanaged and does not include expenses or taxes. All figures assume distributions were reinvested.

The Fund’s past performance (whether before or after taxes) is not indicative of its future performance.

Yearly performance (%) — Select Shares†

This chart provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Laudus Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year for the past eight calendar years.

† For the period December 31, 2008 through June 30, 2009, the aggregate (non-annualized) total pre-tax return of the Select Shares was 0.00%.

During all periods shown in the bar graph, the Laudus Fund’s highest quarterly return was 18.71%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, and its lowest quarterly return was -24.00%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

After-tax returns are shown for Select Shares only and will vary for Investor Shares of the Laudus Fund because Investor Shares have a higher expense ratio. After-tax returns are estimates based on the highest historical individual federal marginal income tax rates, and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes; an investor’s actual after-tax returns will depend on his or her tax situation and are likely to differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold Laudus Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.

B.  Comparison of the Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies of the Funds.

The following is a comparison of the investment objectives and principal investment strategies of the Funds. As stated above, the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund have similar investment objectives, and they pursue similar principal investment strategies.

LAUDUS FUND	SCHWAB FUND
(the Acquired Fund)	(the Surviving Fund)
Investment Objective	Investment Objective
The Acquired Fund seeks a total return (capital appreciation and current income) greater than that of the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (the “MSCI-EAFE Index”). In doing so, the Acquired Fund will place relatively greater emphasis on capital appreciation than on current income.	The Surviving Fund seeks long-term capital growth.
Principal Investment Strategies	Principal Investment Strategies
Under normal circumstances, the Acquired Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (including, for this purpose, any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of large foreign companies. Although the Acquired Fund invests primarily in securities of the companies included in the MSCI-EAFE Index, it may invest up to 40% of its assets in the securities of companies which are not part of the MSCI-EAFE Index but which have characteristics (such as industry classification and country of domicile) similar to those of companies included in the MSCI-EAFE Index.	Under normal circumstances, the Surviving Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities. The Surviving Fund will notify its shareholders at least 60 days before changing this policy. The Surviving Fund typically invests a majority of its assets in the stocks of large-cap and mid-cap companies but may invest a portion of its assets in small-cap companies. In addition, the portfolio managers intend to spread the Surviving Fund’s holdings across different countries and geographic regions in an effort to manage the risks of an international portfolio. The Surviving Fund seeks to assemble a portfolio with long-term performance that will exceed that of the MSCI EAFE Index.
The Acquired Fund invests in the equity securities of large foreign companies. There are no prescribed limits on the Acquired Fund’s geographic asset distribution; it has the authority to invest in securities traded in the markets of any country in the world. The Acquired Fund will typically invest in approximately 21 different countries across three regions: Europe, the Far East and Australia. Under normal market circumstances, the Acquired Fund’s investments will involve securities principally traded in at least three different countries, although under certain adverse investment conditions, the Acquired Fund may restrict the number of securities markets in which its assets will be invested. The Acquired Fund	The Surviving Fund invests primarily in the stocks of publicly traded companies located in developed countries excluding the United States. Though the Surviving Fund invests primarily in securities issued by companies located in developed countries, it may also invest in securities issued by companies located in emerging markets. The Surviving Fund considers developed countries to include Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bermuda, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The Surviving Fund considers any

will not normally invest in securities of U.S. issuers traded on U.S. securities markets.	country that is not a developed country to be an emerging market country. The Surviving Fund may also invest in exchange-traded funds.
	The Surviving Fund may invest in futures contracts to gain greater market exposure while still keeping a small portion of assets in cash for business operations. A futures contract is a contract to buy or sell a specific financial instrument at a specified price at a specific future time. By using these instruments, the Surviving Fund potentially can offset the impact on its performance of keeping some assets in cash. The Surviving Fund also may lend portfolio securities to earn additional income. Any income realized through securities lending may help Fund performance. The Surviving Fund generally does not intend to hedge its exposure to foreign currencies.
In managing the Acquired Fund, AXA Rosenberg employs a bottom-up approach to investing by evaluating the financial characteristics of individual stocks rather than forecasting the trends in markets, investment styles or sectors. AXA Rosenberg seeks to identify mispriced stocks across industries and countries, through rigorous analysis of a company’s fundamental data. AXA Rosenberg’s stock selection process is driven by proprietary technology known as “expert systems,” which are designed to analyze the fundamentals of the more than 21,000 securities currently in AXA Rosenberg’s global universe. AXA Rosenberg uses two stock selection models to evaluate the relative attractiveness of the stocks in its universe: (1) its Valuation Model estimates the fair value for each company in its database by assessing various fundamental data such as company financial statistics, and (2) its Earnings Forecast Model estimates year-ahead earnings by analyzing fundamental data and investor sentiment data such as analysts’ earnings estimates and broker buy/sell recommendations. AXA Rosenberg compares companies operating in similar businesses to identify those believed to be undervalued in relation to their peers, putting together the valuation and earnings forecast views to gain an overall perspective on the attractiveness of each stock. The Valuation Model analyzes European companies and Asian companies (other than Japanese companies) in a nearly global model (which includes the United States and Canada, but which excludes Japan), and Japanese companies in an independent national model, incorporating the various accounting standards that apply in different markets.	To aid its stock selection, the Surviving Fund uses Charles Schwab and Co., Inc.’s (“Schwab’s”) proprietary international stock research. This research ranks stocks of publicly traded companies located in the countries in the MSCI-EAFE Index plus publicly traded stocks of companies located in certain additional countries not included in the MSCI-EAFE Index. The stocks are ranked based on factors that Schwab believes to be indicative of stocks’ performance potential. In addition, the Surviving Fund may purchase certain stocks, such as shares of real estate investment trusts (REITs) that have not been ranked by Schwab’s research. The Surviving Fund may also use additional research as a component of its overall stock selection process. This research may incorporate the analysis of factors including, but not limited to, valuation, balance sheet strength, future earnings power and trading activity to identify companies expected to outperform the broader equity market.
The Acquired Fund favors stocks that appear attractive from the perspective of the Valuation and Earnings Forecast Models while seeking to construct a portfolio that is similar to its MSCI-EAFE Index	Schwab’s research evaluates each stock on the basis of investment criteria from four broad categories: Fundamentals, Valuation, Momentum and Risk. From time to time, Schwab may update the research

benchmark with respect to characteristics such as market capitalization, country and industry weightings, and other risk exposures. While the success of the Fund relative to its benchmark will derive from the accuracy of AXA Rosenberg’s stock selection models, other factors, such as the Fund’s industry weightings and the risks associated with specific individual stock selections, also affect the Fund’s performance.	methodology as well as the factors underlying each broad category. The Fundamentals category evaluates stocks based upon measures derived from recent financial statement data. Stocks with attributes such as high earnings quality and profitability tend to have a better Fundamentals rank. The Valuation category examines several value-oriented investment criteria. Stocks of firms with attractive relative valuation multiples tend to have a better Valuation rank. The Momentum category is based upon several measures of investor sentiment change. Stocks with attributes such as increasing analyst earnings forecasts and strong relative price performance tend to have a better Momentum rank. The Risk category is based upon measures of company- specific investment risk. Larger stocks of high institutional investor interest tend to have a better Risk rank.
	The Surviving Fund uses an optimization model to assist in constructing the portfolio. In portfolio optimization, the portfolio managers seek to build a portfolio they believe will provide the optimal balance between risk and expected return, subject to parameters such as the level of portfolio turnover, country and sector diversification, and volatility considerations.
The Acquired Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of the securities in its portfolio (e.g., greater than 100% turnover), which would increase transaction costs incurred by the Fund. In addition, when a fund engages in active and frequent trading, a larger portion of the distributions investors receive from such fund may reflect short-term capital gains, which are taxed like ordinary income, rather than long- term capital gain distributions.	The Surviving Fund may buy and sell portfolio securities actively. If it does, its portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs will rise, which may lower fund performance and may increase the likelihood of capital gain distributions.
For temporary defensive purposes during unusual economic or market conditions or for liquidity purposes, the Acquired Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in cash, money market instruments, repurchase agreements and other short-term obligations. When the Acquired Fund engages in such activities, it may not achieve its investment objective.	For temporary defensive purposes during unusual economic or market conditions or for liquidity purposes, the Surviving Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in cash, money market instruments, repurchase agreements and other short-term obligations. When the Surviving Fund engages in such activities, it may not achieve its investment objective.

C.  Management of the Funds

1. Investment Adviser

CSIM, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation located at 211 Main Street, San Francisco CA 94105, serves as the investment adviser of the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund. For managing the Acquired Fund, CSIM is entitled to receive a monthly management fee at an annual percentage rate equal to 0.85% of the first $1 billion of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets, 0.80% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets over $1 billion and 0.775% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets over $2 billion. For managing the Surviving Fund, CSIM is entitled to receive a monthly management fee at an annual percentage rate equal to

28

0.58% of the Surviving Fund’s average daily net assets. Upon consummation of the Reorganization, the investment advisory fee paid to CSIM with respect to the Surviving Fund will remain the same.

CSIM provides the day-to-day portfolio management services to the Surviving Fund.

Jeffrey Mortimer, CFA, senior vice president and chief investment officer of CSIM, is responsible for the overall management of the Surviving Fund. Prior to joining the firm in October 1997, he worked for more than eight years in asset management.

1. Pricing of Fund Shares

The Funds are open for business each day that the NYSE is open. The Funds calculate their share price each business day as of the close of the NYSE (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). A Fund’s share price is its net asset value per share, or NAV, which is the Fund’s net assets divided by the number of its outstanding shares. Purchases and redemptions will be effected at the NAV next determined after a Fund receives a purchase or redemption request in good order.

In valuing their securities, the Laudus Trust and Schwab Capital Trust use the current market value if one is readily available. Securities held by a Fund for which market prices are not readily available or for which the Adviser deems the market price to be unreliable are valued in accordance with fair value procedures established by the Board of Trustees. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using fair value procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; or the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price. A Fund’s determination of a security’s fair value price often involves the consideration of a number of subjective factors, and is therefore subject to the unavoidable risk that the value that the Fund assigns to a security may be higher or lower than the security’s value would be if a reliable market quotation for the security was readily available.

Shareholders should be aware that because foreign markets are often open on weekends and other days when the Funds are closed, the value of the Funds’ portfolios may change on days when it is not possible to buy or sell shares of the Funds. 2. Purchase, Redemption and Exchange/Conversion of Fund Shares

The chart below highlights the purchase, redemption and exchange/conversion features of the Laudus Fund as compared to such features of the Schwab Fund.

1	Only Eligible Investors (as defined below) may purchase, redeem or exchange/convert shares directly from the Schwab Fund’s transfer agent. All other investors must purchase, redeem or exchange/convert their shares through an authorized intermediary. The Schwab Fund reserves the right to determine which potential investors qualify as Eligible Investors. Shareholders of the Acquired Fund that hold their Acquired Fund shares directly with the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent and that receive shares of the Schwab Fund in connection with the Reorganization will be considered “Eligible Investors” of the Schwab Fund. See “Restriction on Direct Transactions with the Schwab Fund” below.
2	Only certain intermediaries are authorized to accept orders on behalf of the Schwab Fund. If your Schwab Fund shares are not held by an authorized intermediary, the Schwab Fund reserves the right to redeem your shares. Intermediaries holding shares of the Acquired Fund at the Effective Time of the Reorganization will be considered authorized intermediaries of the Schwab Fund after the Reorganization. Accordingly, shareholders of the Acquired Fund with accounts at such intermediaries at the Effective Time of the Reorganization will be permitted to transact with the Schwab Fund through such intermediaries after the Reorganization. See “Schwab Fund Intermediary Orders” below.
3	Investor Shares may be purchased by institutions, certain individual retirement accounts and individuals. In order to be eligible to purchase Investor Shares, an investor must make an initial investment of at least $100 in the Laudus Fund. In its sole discretion, CSIM may waive this minimum investment requirement. CSIM may waive this investment minimum for the benefit plans described in footnote 4, and for accounts held through certain intermediaries, including those who have made arrangements with the Laudus Fund to offer shares to their clients as part of various asset allocation programs.

31

4	Select Shares may be purchased by institutions such as endowments and foundations, plan sponsors of 401(a), 401(k), 457 and 403(b) benefit plans and individuals, including clients of investment advisers. In order to be eligible to purchase Select Shares, an investor must make an initial investment of at least $50,000 in the Laudus Fund. Investment advisers may aggregate investments across client accounts in order to reach this minimum investment requirement. In its sole discretion, CSIM may waive this minimum investment requirement. CSIM may waive this investment minimum for the benefit plans described above, for certain wrap accounts, and for accounts held through certain intermediaries. The minimum may also be waived for certain other investors, including directors, officers and employees of Charles Schwab and AXA Rosenberg.
5	On May 5, 2009, the investment minimum of the Select Shares and Institutional Shares of the Schwab Fund was lowered to $100 to match the existing investment minimum of the Schwab Fund’s Investor Shares. This action was taken in preparation for the Schwab Fund’s share class combination, which will occur prior to the Reorganization. At the time of the Reorganization, shares of the Schwab Fund will have an investment minimum of $100 and no minimum subsequent investment requirement or minimum balance requirement. These minimums may be waived for certain retirement plans, including Schwab Corporate Services retirement plans, and plan participants, and for shareholders who roll into an IRA from an exempted retirement plan. These minimums may also be waived for certain other investors, including trustees, officers and employees of Schwab, and for certain investment programs, including programs for education savings or charitable giving.
6	Subject to certain limitations, shares of a Fund, including any class of shares, may be exchanged or converted into shares of any other Fund of the Laudus Trust, or class of shares. In order to convert your shares to another class of shares, you must satisfy the minimum requirements for the new class of shares. Shareholders of the Laudus Fund are not permitted to exchange any of their shares for shares of the Laudus Rosenberg International Small Capitalization Fund. Shareholders of the Laudus Fund are not permitted to exchange any of their shares for shares of the Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Small Capitalization Fund unless such shareholders are also existing shareholders of the Laudus Rosenberg U.S. Small Capitalization Fund.
7	Subject to certain limitations, shares of the Schwab Fund may be exchanged or converted into shares of any other Schwab mutual fund or Laudus MarketMasters Fund that is not a sweep investment. In order to exchange or convert your shares to another fund or class of shares, you must meet the minimum investment and other requirements for the fund and share class into which you are exchanging or converting.

Restriction on Direct Transactions with the Schwab Fund.  Only Eligible Investors (as defined below) may purchase, redeem or exchange/convert shares directly from the Schwab Fund’s transfer agent. All other investors must purchase, redeem or exchange/convert their shares through an authorized intermediary (see below). Eligible Investors include, but are not limited to, qualified and non-qualified employee benefit plans (including but not limited to defined benefit plans, defined contribution plans, 401(k) plans), foundations and endowments, banks, trusts, investment companies and corporate capital and cash management accounts. Potential investors that are, or are investing on behalf of, natural persons are not Eligible Investors. The Schwab Fund reserves the right to determine which potential investors qualify as Eligible Investors. Shares held by a non-Eligible Investor directly with the Schwab Fund are subject to involuntary redemption by the Schwab Fund. Shareholders of the Acquired Fund that hold their Acquired Fund shares directly with the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent and that receive shares of the Schwab Fund in connection with the Reorganization will be considered “Eligible Investors” of the Schwab Fund.

Schwab Fund Intermediary Orders.  Only certain intermediaries are authorized to accept orders on behalf of the Schwab Fund. If your Schwab Fund shares are no longer held by an authorized intermediary, the Schwab Fund may impose restrictions on your ability to manage or maintain your shares. For example, you will not be able to place orders to purchase additional shares. To remove these restrictions, you have two options. First, you may move your shares to Schwab or another intermediary that is authorized to accept Schwab Fund orders. Second, you may maintain a direct account with the Schwab Fund if you meet the eligibility requirements for placing direct orders (set forth above) and your completed account application and supporting documentation is returned to and accepted by the Schwab Fund’s transfer agent. If you do not exercise one of these options within ninety days, the Schwab Fund reserves the right to redeem your shares. Intermediaries holding shares of the Acquired Fund at the Effective Time of the Reorganization will be considered authorized intermediaries of the Schwab Fund after the Reorganization. Accordingly, shareholders of the Acquired Fund with accounts at such intermediaries at the Effective Time

32

of the Reorganization will be permitted to transact with the Schwab Fund through such intermediaries after the Reorganization.

Laudus Funds Automatic Investment Program.  An eligible shareholder may participate in the Laudus Funds Automatic Investment Program, an investment plan that automatically debits money from the shareholder’s bank account or an account at a broker or other intermediary and invests it in Investor Shares of the Laudus Fund through the use of electronic funds transfers. Investors may commence their participation in this program by making a minimum initial investment that satisfies the minimum investment amount for the Investor share class and may elect to make subsequent investments by transfers of a minimum of $50 into their established account. Intermediaries may establish different minimum subsequent transaction amounts. The Surviving Fund does not have an automatic investment program.

In-Kind Purchase of Laudus Fund’s Select Shares.  Subject to certain restrictions, Select Shares of the Laudus Fund may be purchased in exchange for common stocks on deposit at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or by a combination of such common stocks and cash. Purchase of Select Shares in exchange for stocks is subject in each case to CSIM’s and AXA Rosenberg’s determination that the stocks to be exchanged are acceptable. Shares of the Surviving Fund may not be purchased in exchange for common stock.

Laudus Funds Systematic Withdrawal Plan.  An owner of $12,000 or more of shares of the Laudus Fund may elect to have periodic redemptions made from the investor’s account to be paid on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. The maximum payment per year is 12% of the account value at the time of the election. The Surviving Fund does not have a systematic withdrawal plan.

Each Fund is intended for long-term investment and not for short-term or excessive trading (collectively “market timing”). Market timing may adversely impact a Fund’s performance by disrupting the efficient management of the Fund, increasing Fund transaction costs and taxes, causing the Fund to maintain higher cash balances, and diluting the value of the Fund’s shares.

In order to discourage market timing, each Fund’s Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to reduce the risk of market timing by Fund shareholders. Each Fund seeks to deter market timing through several methods. These methods may include: fair value pricing, imposition of redemption fees and trade activity monitoring.

Shares of the Funds redeemed or exchanged within 30 days of purchase, which shall be calculated to include the 30th day, will be subject to a fee of 2.00%, which is intended to limit short-term trading in the Funds, or to the extent that short-term trading persists, to impose the costs of that type of activity on the shareholders who engage in it. Such fee will be paid to the Funds. Each Fund treats shares that have been held the longest as being redeemed first. Fund shares purchased with reinvested dividends are not subject to redemption fees. The Funds reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to waive such fee when, in their judgment, such waiver would be in the best interests of such Fund. The Funds may waive the redemption fee for retirement plans, wrap or fee-based programs, charitable giving funds, unregistered separate accounts, redemptions pursuant to rebalancing programs or systematic withdrawal plans established by the Fund or financial intermediaries, and registered investment companies and redemptions initiated by the Funds.

In addition, certain financial intermediaries may use criteria and methods for tracking, applying and calculating the fees that are different from the Funds but which Laudus Trust or Schwab Capital Trust, in their discretion, may determine are in the best interests of the Funds. While the Funds discourage mutual fund market timing and maintain procedures designed to provide reasonable assurances that such activity will be identified and terminated, including the imposition of the redemption fee described above, no policy or procedure can guarantee that all such activity will in fact be identified or that such activity can be completely eliminated.

The Board of the Laudus Trust has authorized the Laudus Trust to reimburse, out of the Investor Share assets of the Laudus Fund, financial intermediaries that provide sub-accounting and sub-transfer agency services in connection with Investor Shares of the Laudus Fund an amount up to 0.15% of the average daily net assets of that class on an annual basis. Shares of the Surviving Fund will not be subject to a fee for sub-accounting and sub-transfer agency services.

3. Dividends and Distributions

The Acquired Fund intends to pay out as dividends substantially all of its net income and net short-term and long-term capital gains (after reduction by any available capital loss carry-forwards). The Acquired Fund’s policy is to declare and pay distributions of its dividends and interest annually although it may do so more frequently as determined by the Trustees of the Laudus Trust. During the fourth quarter of the year, typically in early November, an estimate of the Laudus Fund’s year-end distribution, if any, may be made available on the Fund’s website: www.laudus.com. The Acquired Fund’s policy is to distribute net short-term capital gains and net long-term gains annually, although it may do so more frequently as determined by the Trustees of the Laudus Trust to the extent permitted by applicable regulations.

The Surviving Fund distributes to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains, if any. These distributions typically are paid in December to all shareholders of record. During the fourth quarter of the year, typically in early November, an estimate of the Surviving Fund’s year-end distributions, if any, may be made available on the Fund’s website: www.schwab.com/schwabfunds.

All dividends and/or distributions will be paid out in the form of additional shares of the relevant Fund to which the dividends and/or distributions relate at net asset value unless the shareholder elects to receive cash. Your current dividend and distribution election will not change at the consummation of the Reorganization.

F.  Distribution Arrangements

Shares of the Acquired Fund are offered on a continuous basis through Laudus Trust’s principal underwriter, ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”).

Investor Shares of the Acquired Fund are subject to an annual Distribution and Shareholder Service Fee of up to 0.25% of Investor Shares’ average daily net assets attributable thereto in accordance with a distribution and shareholder service plan (a “Distribution and Shareholder Service Plan”) adopted by the Trustees of the Laudus Trust pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. This Distribution and Shareholder Service Fee will continue to be accrued by the Laudus Fund up until the time that the Reorganization is consummated. The Distribution and Shareholder Service Fee is intended to compensate the Distributor for services and expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of Investor Shares of the Laudus Fund and/or in connection with the provision of direct client service, personal services, maintenance of shareholder accounts and reporting services to holders of Investor Shares of the Laudus Fund. The Distribution and Shareholder Service Fee will not be retained by the Distributor but will instead be reallowed to financial intermediaries who provide these services.

Although the Distributor acts as principal underwriter for the Select Shares of the Acquired Fund, no fees are paid to the Distributor in connection with such shares under the Distribution and Shareholder Service Plan.

Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement with Schwab Capital Trust, Schwab, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation and a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., acts as the distributor and principal underwriter for the Surviving Fund. Shares of the Surviving Fund are offered for sale on a continuous basis at NAV. The Surviving Fund has not adopted a plan of distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (i.e., a 12b-1 Plan). Under the Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement between Schwab and Schwab Capital Trust, Schwab will use appropriate efforts to solicit orders for the sale of shares of the Surviving Fund, which might include advertising, compensation of dealers or sales personnel, and preparation of sales literature. Schwab receives no compensation from the Surviving Fund for acting as distributor for the Surviving Fund.

Effective July 1, 2009, the Board of Trustees of Schwab Capital Trust has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (the “Plan”) on behalf of the Surviving Fund. The Plan enables the Surviving Fund, directly or indirectly through Schwab, to bear expenses relating to the provision by service providers, including Schwab, of certain account maintenance, customer liaison and shareholder services to the current shareholders of the Surviving Fund. Pursuant to the Plan, the Surviving Fund is subject to an annual shareholder servicing fee of 0.25%.

Additional information about the Funds’ distribution arrangements is contained in the Acquired Fund’s prospectus, dated July 29, 2009, as supplemented August 12, 2009, and the Surviving Fund’s prospectus dated

V. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The financial highlights tables that follow are intended to help you understand each Fund’s financial performance for the periods shown. The total returns in the tables represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the particular Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). The information (excluding the information for the six months ended April 30, 2009 with respect to the Surviving Fund) has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, whose reports, along with the Funds’ financial statements, are included in the Acquired Fund’s Annual Report to shareholders dated March 31, 2009, and in the Surviving Fund’s Annual Report to shareholders, dated October 31, 2008. A free copy of these Annual Reports is available upon request as described on the second page of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

As discussed above, prior to the Reorganization, the Surviving Fund’s three share classes will be combined into a single class of shares of the Fund and the shareholders of the Acquired Fund will receive shares of the sole remaining share class of the Surviving Fund in connection with the Reorganization. The performance and financial history of the sole remaining share class of the Surviving Fund will be that of the Surviving Fund’s current Institutional Shares. Accordingly, the financial highlights of the Surviving Fund’s Institutional Shares are shown below.

The Board is furnishing this Prospectus/Proxy Statement in connection with the solicitation of proxies. The Acquired Fund has retained D.F. King & Co., Inc., (the “Proxy Solicitor”), 48 Wall Street, 22^nd Floor, New York, NY 10005 to aid in the solicitation of proxies. Proxies may be solicited by mail, electronically, by telephone, fax, in person or by other means, and representatives of the Proxy Solicitor, Laudus Trust, CSIM, Schwab, AXA Rosenberg and each of their affiliates may participate in the solicitation of proxies.

You may vote in several ways, listed below.

•  In person at the Meeting;

•  By mail by returning the attached proxy card(s);

•  Through the Internet by going to www.proxyweb.com; or

•  Over the telephone by calling 1-888-          . A representative of the Proxy Solicitor will answer your call. When receiving your instructions by telephone, the Proxy Solicitor representative is required to ask you for your full name, address, the last four digits of your social security number or employer identification number, title (if the person giving the proxy is authorized to act for an entity, such as a corporation), the number of shares of the Acquired Fund, and to confirm that you have received the Prospectus/Proxy Statement in the mail. If the information you provided matches the information provided to the Proxy Solicitor by the Acquired Fund, the Proxy Solicitor representative will explain the voting process. The Proxy Solicitor is not permitted to recommend to you how to vote, other than to read any recommendation included in the Prospectus/Proxy statement.

The Proxy Solicitor will record your instructions and transmit them to the official tabulator and send you a letter or mailgram to confirm your vote. That letter will also ask you to call the Proxy Solicitor immediately if the confirmation does not reflect your instruction correctly. You may receive a call from a representative of the Proxy Solicitor, Laudus Trust, CSIM, Schwab, AXA Rosenberg or each of their affiliates if the Proxy Solicitor has not yet received your vote. The Proxy Solicitor may ask you for authority by telephone to permit the Proxy Solicitor to sign a proxy on your behalf. The Proxy Solicitor will record all instructions, in accordance with the procedures set forth above. The Acquired Fund believes those procedures are reasonably designed to determine accurately the shareholder’s identity and voting instructions.

Shareholders may revoke a proxy at any time up until voting results are announced at the Meeting. You can do this by writing to the Clerk of the Laudus Trust, c/o CSIM Legal, 211 Main Street, San Francisco, California 94105, by voting in person at the Meeting or submitting a later-dated proxy.

C.  Proxy Solicitation Costs.

CSIM will bear the costs of soliciting proxies, including costs related to the preparation, printing, mailing and tabulation of proxies. The anticipated cost associated with the solicitation of proxies by the Proxy Solicitor is $3,500 plus any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Proxy Solicitor. Voting immediately can help CSIM avoid the considerable expense of a second solicitation.

D.  Quorum and Required Vote for the Proposal.

Quorum.  In order to transact business at the Meeting, the Acquired Fund must achieve a quorum. This means that at least forty percent (40.0%) of the Acquired Fund’s shares entitled to vote must be represented at the

37

Meeting — either in person or by proxy. Any lesser number of shares, however, is sufficient for adjournments. All returned proxies count towards a quorum regardless of how they are voted (“For,” “Against,” or “Abstain”). As discussed more fully below in the section entitled “Tabulation of Votes,” broker non-votes are considered present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

Required Vote.  Proceeding with the Reorganization requires the affirmative vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the Acquired Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act, which means the affirmative vote of the lesser of (1) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Acquired Fund or (2) 67% or more of the shares of the Acquired Fund present at the Meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Acquired Fund are represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy. A vote of shareholders of the Surviving Fund is not needed to approve the Reorganization. Shareholders holding Select Shares and Investor Shares of the Acquired Fund will vote together as a single class.

If the Reorganization is not approved by shareholders, then the Acquired Fund will remain in existence, and the Board of Trustees of the Acquired Fund will consider what, if any, additional steps to take, including consideration of the possibility of liquidating the Acquired Fund. The Board of the Laudus Trust recommends that shareholders approve the Reorganization.

E.  Other Voting Information.

Adjournment.  If a quorum is not present at the Meeting, or if a quorum is present but sufficient votes in favor of the Reorganization are not received by the time scheduled for the Meeting, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments or postponements of the Meeting for a reasonable time after the date set for the original Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. In addition, if, in the judgment of the persons named as proxies, subsequent developments make it advisable to defer action on the proposal, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments or postponements of the Meeting for a reasonable time in order to defer action on the proposal. Any such adjournments or postponements will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the question in person or by proxy, whether or not a quorum is present, at the session of the Meeting to be adjourned, as required by the Laudus Trust’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust. The persons named as proxies will abstain from voting on adjournment all shares represented by proxies that abstain from voting on such proposal. Any adjournment does not require notice to shareholders other than an announcement at the Meeting being adjourned. The Board may postpone the Meeting prior to the Meeting with notice to the shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting. The costs of any additional solicitation of proxies and of any adjourned or postponed session with regard to the proposal will be borne by CSIM.

Tabulation of Votes.  Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each share held, and each fractional share shall be entitled to a proportional fractional vote. Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Meeting will be counted by persons appointed by the Acquired Fund to tabulate such votes. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” (i.e., proxies received from brokers indicating that they have not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other person entitled to vote shares) will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Meeting. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” will have the same effect as a vote “Against” the Proposal. Pursuant to certain rules promulgated by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. that govern the voting by such broker-dealers, a broker-dealer holding shares of record for a beneficial owner may not exercise discretionary voting power with respect to certain non-routine matters. It is anticipated that such broker-dealers will not have discretionary authority to vote on the proposal. The absence of instructions from the beneficial owner will result in a “broker non-vote” with respect to the proposal.

Proxy cards that are properly signed, dated and received at or prior to the Meeting will be voted as specified. If you specify a vote for the proposal, your proxy will be voted as you indicate. If you simply sign, date and return the proxy card, but do not specify a vote for the proposal, your shares will be voted by the proxies “FOR” the Reorganization.

Shareholder Proposals.  The Acquired Fund does not intend to hold meetings of its shareholders except to the extent that such meetings are required under the 1940 Act or state law. Acquired Fund shareholders who wish to submit proposals for inclusion in the proxy statement for a subsequent Acquired Fund shareholder meeting should send their written proposals to the Clerk of the Laudus Trust, c/o CSIM Legal, 211 Main Street, San Francisco,

38

California 94105 within a reasonable time before such meeting. If the Reorganization is consummated, there will be no further meetings of shareholders of the Acquired Fund.

Communications with the Board.  Shareholders wishing to submit written communications to the Board should send their communications to the Clerk of the Laudus Trust, c/o CSIM Legal, 211 Main Street, San Francisco, California 94105. Any such communications received will be reviewed by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

Other Matters.  The Board knows of no other business to be brought before the Meeting. However, if additional matters do arise, it is the Trustees’ intention that proxies will be voted on such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons named on the enclosed proxy. If you object to our voting other matters on your behalf, please tell us in writing before the Meeting.

F.  Control Persons and Principal Holders of Securities

The table below sets forth the names, addresses and percentage ownership of those shareholders owning beneficially or of record 5% or more of the outstanding shares of each class of each respective Fund as of September 16, 2009. Those persons who beneficially own more than 25% of a particular class of shares in a particular Fund may be deemed to control such class. As a result, it may not be possible for matters subject to a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Fund to be approved without the affirmative vote of such shareholder, and it may be possible for such matters to be approved by such shareholder without the affirmative vote of any other shareholder.

As of September 16, 2009, the net assets of the Acquired Fund were          , (made up of           net assets for Investor Shares and           net assets for Select Shares).

APPENDIX A

FORM OF AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (the “Agreement”) is made as of this           day of          , 2009, by and between Laudus Trust, a Massachusetts business trust, on behalf of its Laudus Rosenberg International Equity Fund (the “Acquired Fund”), and Schwab Capital Trust, a Massachusetts business trust, on behalf of its Schwab International Core Equity Fund (the “Surviving Fund” and, together with the Acquired Fund, the “Funds”). Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (“CSIM”) joins this Agreement solely for purposes of Sections 14(b) and 18(b). Except for the Acquired Fund, no other series of Laudus Trust are parties to this Agreement. Except for the Surviving Fund, no other series of Schwab Capital Trust are parties to this Agreement. Laudus Trust and Schwab Capital Trust each has its principal place of business at 211 Main Street, San Francisco CA, 94105.

WHEREAS, Laudus Trust was established on April 1, 1988 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a business trust under a Declaration of Trust, as amended and restated from time to time, and the Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”);

WHEREAS, Schwab Capital Trust was established on May 10, 1993 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a business trust under a Declaration of Trust, as amended and restated from time to time, and the Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act;

WHEREAS, the Acquired Fund is a separate investment series of Laudus Trust and the Surviving Fund is a separate series of Schwab Capital Trust;

WHEREAS, the Acquired Fund owns securities that generally are assets of the character in which the Surviving Fund is permitted to invest;

WHEREAS, each of the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund is authorized to issue shares of beneficial interest;

WHEREAS, the Funds intend this Agreement to be, and adopt it as, a plan of reorganization within the meaning of the regulations under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”);

WHEREAS, the Trustees of Laudus Trust, including a majority of Trustees that are not “interested persons,” as such term is defined in section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, of Laudus Trust have determined that the transactions contemplated herein are in the best interests of the Acquired Fund and that the interests of the Acquired Fund’s existing shareholders will not be diluted as a result; and

WHEREAS, the Trustees of Schwab Capital Trust, including a majority of Trustees that are not “interested persons,” as such term is defined in section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, of Schwab Capital Trust have determined that the transactions contemplated herein are in the best interests of the Surviving Fund and that the interests of the Surviving Fund’s existing shareholders will not be diluted as a result;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree to effect the transfer of all of the assets of the Acquired Fund solely in exchange for the assumption by the Surviving Fund of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund and shares of beneficial interest of the Surviving Fund (“Surviving Fund Shares”) followed by the distribution, at the Closing Date (as defined in Section 13 of this Agreement), of such Surviving Fund Shares to the holders of shares of the Acquired Fund (“Acquired Fund Shares”) on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in liquidation of the Acquired Fund. The parties hereto hereby covenant and agree as follows:

1. Plan of Reorganization.   At the Closing Date, the Acquired Fund shall assign, deliver and otherwise transfer all of its assets and good and marketable title thereto, and assign all of the liabilities as are set forth in a statement of assets and liabilities, to be prepared as of the Valuation Time (as defined in Section 5 of this Agreement) (the “Statement of Assets and Liabilities”), to the Surviving Fund, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and adverse claims except as provided in this Agreement, and the Surviving Fund shall acquire all assets, and shall assume all liabilities of the Acquired Fund, and the Surviving Fund shall deliver to the Acquired

42

Fund a number of Surviving Fund Shares (both full and fractional) equivalent in value to the Acquired Fund Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date. Shareholders of record of Select Shares and Investor Shares of the Acquired Fund at the Closing Date shall be credited with full and fractional shares of the Surviving Fund. The assets and liabilities of the Acquired Fund shall be exclusively assigned to and assumed by the Surviving Fund. All debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Acquired Fund, to the extent that they exist at or after the Closing Date, shall after the Closing Date attach to the Surviving Fund and may be enforced against the Surviving Fund to the same extent as if the same had been incurred by the Surviving Fund. The events outlined in this Section 1 are referred to herein collectively as the “Reorganization.”

2. Transfer of Assets.

(a) The assets of the Acquired Fund to be acquired by the Surviving Fund and allocated thereto shall include, without limitation, all cash, cash equivalents, securities, receivables (including interest and dividends receivable) as set forth in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as well as any claims or rights of action or rights to register shares under applicable securities laws, any books or records of the Acquired Fund and other property owned by the Acquired Fund at the Closing Date.

(b) The Surviving Fund will, within a reasonable time prior to the Closing Date, furnish the Acquired Fund with a list of the securities, if any, on the Acquired Fund’s list referred to in the second sentence of this paragraph that do not conform to the Surviving Fund’s investment objectives, policies, and restrictions. The Acquired Fund will, within a reasonable period of time (not less than 30 days) prior to the Closing Date, furnish the Surviving Fund with a list of its portfolio securities and other investments. In the event that the Acquired Fund holds any investments that the Surviving Fund may not hold, the Acquired Fund, if requested by the Surviving Fund, will dispose of such securities prior to the Closing Date. In addition, if it is determined that the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund portfolios, when aggregated, would contain investments exceeding certain percentage limitations imposed upon the Surviving Fund with respect to such investments, the Acquired Fund, if requested by the Surviving Fund, will dispose of a sufficient amount of such investments as may be necessary to avoid violating such limitations as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein will require the Acquired Fund to dispose of any investments or securities if, in the reasonable judgment of the Acquired Fund, such disposition would either violate the Acquired Fund’s fiduciary duty to its shareholders or adversely affect the tax-free nature of the Reorganization.

(c) The Acquired Fund shall direct State Street Bank and Trust Company, as custodian for the Acquired Fund (the “Custodian”), to deliver, at or prior to the Closing Date, a certificate of an authorized officer stating that: (i) assets have been delivered in proper form to the Surviving Fund at the Closing Date, and (ii) all necessary taxes in connection with the delivery of the assets, including all applicable foreign, federal and state stock transfer stamps, if any, have been paid or provision for payment has been made. The Acquired Fund’s portfolio securities represented by a certificate or other written instrument shall be transferred and delivered by the Acquired Fund as of the Closing Date for the account of the Surviving Fund duly endorsed in proper form for transfer in such condition as to constitute good delivery thereof. The Custodian shall deliver prior to or as of the Closing Date by book entry, in accordance with the customary practices of any securities depository, as defined in Rule 17f-4 under the 1940 Act, in which the Acquired Fund’s assets are deposited, the Acquired Fund’s assets deposited with such depositories. The cash to be transferred by the Acquired Fund shall be delivered by wire transfer of federal funds prior to or as of the Closing Date.

(d) The Acquired Fund shall direct Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (the “Transfer Agent”), on behalf of the Acquired Fund, to deliver prior to or as of the Closing Date a certificate of an authorized officer stating that its records contain the names and addresses of the holders of the Acquired Fund Shares and the number and percentage ownership of outstanding Select Shares and Investor Shares owned by each shareholder immediately prior to the Closing Date. The Surviving Fund shall issue and deliver a confirmation evidencing the Surviving Fund Shares to be credited at the Closing Date to the Secretary of the Acquired Fund, or provide evidence that the Surviving Fund Shares have been credited to the Acquired Fund’s account on the books of the Surviving Fund. No later than the Closing Date, each party shall deliver to the other such bill of sale, checks, assignments, share certificates, if any, receipts or other documents as such other party or its counsel may reasonably request.

43

3. Calculations.

(a) The number of full and fractional Surviving Fund Shares to be issued in exchange for the Acquired Fund’s assets pursuant to Section 1 hereof shall be determined by multiplying the outstanding shares of the Acquired Fund by the ratio computed by dividing the net asset value per share of the Acquired Fund for each class by the net asset value per share of the Surviving Fund on the Valuation Date, determined in accordance with Section 3(b). Shareholders of record of Select Shares and Investor Shares of the Acquired Fund at the Closing Date shall be credited with full and fractional Surviving Fund Shares.

(b) The net asset value per share of the Surviving Fund Shares shall be the net asset value per share computed as of the time at which the Surviving Fund’s net asset value is calculated at the Valuation Time, in accordance with the pricing policies and procedures adopted by Schwab Capital Trust as described in the then current prospectus and statement of additional information of the Surviving Fund under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”).

4. Valuation of Assets.  The value of the assets of the Acquired Fund shall be the value of such assets computed as of the time at which the Acquired Fund’s net asset value is calculated at the Valuation Time. The net asset value of the assets of the Acquired Fund to be transferred to the Surviving Fund shall be computed by the Acquired Fund. In determining the value of the securities transferred by the Acquired Fund to the Surviving Fund, each security shall be priced in accordance with the pricing policies and procedures adopted by Laudus Trust as described in the then current prospectus and statement of additional information of the Acquired Fund under the 1933 Act. For such purposes, price quotations and the security characteristics relating to establishing such quotations shall be determined by the Acquired Fund, provided that such determination shall be subject to the approval of the Surviving Fund. The Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund agree to use all commercially reasonable efforts to resolve, prior to the Valuation Time, any material pricing differences.

5. Valuation Time.  The valuation time shall be 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 3, 2009, or such earlier or later date and time as may be mutually agreed in writing by an authorized officer of the Funds (the “Valuation Time”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that at the Valuation Time, (a) the New York Stock Exchange shall be closed to trading or trading thereon shall be restricted, or (b) trading or the reporting of trading on such exchange or elsewhere shall be disrupted so that, in the judgment of Laudus Trust, accurate appraisal of the value of the net assets of the Acquired Fund is impracticable, the Valuation Time shall be postponed until the first business day after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed without restriction or disruption, reporting shall have been restored and accurate appraisal of the value of the net assets of the Acquired Fund is practicable.

6. Liquidation of the Acquired Fund and Cancellation of Shares.  At the Closing Date, the Acquired Fund will liquidate and the Surviving Fund Shares (both full and fractional) received by the Acquired Fund will be distributed to the shareholders of record of the Acquired Fund as of the Closing Date in exchange for their Acquired Fund Shares and in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund. Such liquidation and distribution will be accompanied by the establishment of an open account on the share records of the Surviving Fund in the name of each shareholder of the Acquired Fund that represents the respective number of Surviving Fund Shares due such shareholder. All of the issued and outstanding shares of the Acquired Fund shall be cancelled on the books of the Laudus Trust at the Closing Date and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive Surviving Fund Shares. The Acquired Fund’s transfer books shall be closed permanently. Laudus Trust also shall take any and all other steps as shall be necessary and proper to effect a complete termination of the Acquired Fund.

7. Representations and Warranties of the Surviving Fund.  The Surviving Fund represents and warrants to the Acquired Fund as follows:

(a) The Surviving Fund has been duly established as a separate investment series of the Schwab Capital Trust, which is a business trust duly organized and validly existing under the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

(b) Schwab Capital Trust is registered as an investment company classified as a management company of the open-end type, and its registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) as an investment company under the 1940 Act is in full force and effect.

44

(c) The authorized capital of Schwab Capital Trust consists of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The shares of the Surviving Fund have been duly established and represent a fractional undivided interest in the Surviving Fund. The issued and outstanding shares of the Surviving Fund are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. There are no outstanding options, warrants or other rights of any kind to acquire from Schwab Capital Trust any shares of any class or equity interests of the Surviving Fund or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, or which otherwise confer on the holder thereof any right to acquire, any such additional shares, nor is Schwab Capital Trust committed to issue any share appreciation or similar rights or options, warrants, rights or securities in connection with the Surviving Fund. The Surviving Fund Shares to be issued and delivered to the Acquired Fund, for the account of the Acquired Fund’s shareholders, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will, at the Closing Date, have been duly authorized and, when so issued and delivered, will be duly and validly issued Surviving Fund Shares, and will be fully paid and non-assessable.

(d) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Schwab Capital Trust, on behalf of the Surviving Fund, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein have been duly and validly authorized by Schwab Capital Trust’s Board of Trustees and no other proceedings by the Surviving Fund are necessary to authorize this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Schwab Capital Trust, on behalf of the Surviving Fund, and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Laudus Trust, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Schwab Capital Trust, as it relates to the Surviving Fund, enforceable in accordance with its terms subject as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. The Surviving Fund is not a party to or obligated under any charter, by-law, indenture or contract provision or any other commitment or obligation, or subject to any order or decree, which would be violated by its executing and carrying out this Agreement.

(e) The audited financial statements of the Surviving Fund as of October 31, 2008 are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, and such statements (copies of which have been furnished to the Acquired Fund) fairly reflect the financial condition of the Surviving Fund as of such date, and there are no known contingent liabilities of the Surviving Fund as of such date not disclosed therein. The unaudited financial statements of the Surviving Fund as of March 31, 2009 are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, and such statements (copies of which have been furnished to the Acquired Fund) fairly reflect the financial condition of the Surviving Fund as of such date, and there are no known contingent liabilities of the Surviving Fund as of such date not disclosed therein.

(f) Since March 31, 2009, there has not been any material adverse change in the Surviving Fund’s financial condition, assets, liabilities, or business other than changes occurring in the ordinary course of business, or any incurrence by the Surviving Fund of indebtedness maturing more than one year from the date such indebtedness was incurred, except as otherwise disclosed to and accepted by the Acquired Fund. For purposes of this paragraph (f), a decline in the net asset value of the Surviving Fund shall not constitute a material adverse change.

(g) The current prospectus and statement of additional information of the Surviving Fund conform in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and do not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(h) Except as otherwise disclosed in writing and accepted by the Acquired Fund, no litigation, administrative proceeding or investigation of or before any court or governmental body is presently pending or to its knowledge threatened against the Surviving Fund or any of its properties or assets, which, if adversely determined, would materially and adversely affect its financial condition and the conduct of its business or the ability of the Surviving Fund to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Surviving Fund knows of no facts that might form the basis for the institution of such proceedings and is not a party to or

45

subject to the provisions of any order, decree, or judgment of any court or governmental body that materially and adversely affects its business or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated herein.

(i) Except for contracts and agreements disclosed to the Acquired Fund, under which no default exists, the Surviving Fund is not a party to or subject to any material contract, debt instrument, plan, lease, franchise, license or permit of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Surviving Fund.

(j) As of the Closing Date, all Federal and other tax returns, information returns and other tax-related reports of the Surviving Fund required by law to have been filed by such date (including extensions) shall have been filed, and all other taxes shall have been paid so far as due, or provision shall have been made for the payment thereof, and to the best of the Surviving Fund’s knowledge, no such return is currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local tax authority, and no assessment has been asserted with respect to any of such returns.

(k) For each taxable year of its operation, the Surviving Fund has met the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code for qualification as a regulated investment company and has elected to be treated as such, and has been eligible to and has computed its federal income tax under Section 852 of the Code. The Surviving Fund currently qualifies, and shall continue to qualify, as a regulated investment company under the Code.

(l) The Surviving Fund agrees to use all reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary approvals and authorizations required by the 1933 Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), the 1940 Act, and such of the state Blue Sky or securities laws as it may deem appropriate in order to continue its operations after the Closing Date.

(m) The prospectus/proxy statement and statement of additional information (collectively, the “Prospectus/Proxy Statement”) to be included in the Surviving Fund’s registration statement on Form N-14 (the “Registration Statement”) and filed in connection with this Agreement, and the documents incorporated therein by reference and any amendment or supplement thereto insofar as they relate to the Surviving Fund, each comply or will comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act, 1934 Act and the 1940 Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder on the effective date of such Registration Statement. Each of the Prospectus/Proxy Statement, Registration Statement and the documents incorporated therein by reference and any amendment or supplement thereto, insofar as it relates to the Surviving Fund, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading on the effective date of such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Surviving Fund makes no representations or warranties as to the information contained in the Prospectus/Proxy Statement, Registration Statement and the documents incorporated therein by reference and any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to the Acquired Fund and furnished by the Acquired Fund to the Surviving Fund specifically for use in connection with the Prospectus/Proxy Statement, Registration Statement and the documents incorporated therein by reference and any amendment or supplement thereto.

8. Representations and Warranties of the Acquired Fund.  The Acquired Fund represents and warrants to the Surviving Fund as follows:

Upon delivery and payment for such assets, the Surviving Fund will have good and marketable title to such assets without restriction on the transfer thereof free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and adverse claims other than as disclosed to the Surviving Fund and accepted by the Surviving Fund.

(g) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Laudus Trust, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein have been duly and validly authorized by Laudus Trust’s Board of Trustees and no other proceedings by the Acquired Fund are necessary to authorize this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(i) Except as otherwise disclosed in writing and accepted by the Surviving Fund, no litigation, administrative proceeding or investigation of or before any court or governmental body is presently pending or to its knowledge threatened against the Acquired Fund or any of its properties or assets, which, if adversely determined, would materially and adversely affect its financial condition and the conduct of its business or the ability of the Acquired Fund to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Acquired Fund knows of no facts that might form the basis for the institution of such proceedings and is not a party to or subject to the provisions of any order, decree, or judgment of any court or governmental body that materially and adversely affects its business or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated herein.

(j) Except for contracts and agreements disclosed to the Surviving Fund, under which no default exists, the Acquired Fund is not a party to or subject to any material contract, debt instrument, plan, lease, franchise, license or permit of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Acquired Fund.

(l) For each taxable year of its operation, the Acquired Fund has met the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code for qualification as a regulated investment company and has elected to be treated as such, and has been eligible to and has computed its federal income tax under Section 852 of the Code. The Acquired Fund currently qualifies, and shall continue to qualify, as a regulated investment company under the Code.

     A. General Information

     The Board of Trustees of the Trust has approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”), which contemplates the transfer of all the assets and liabilities of the Acquired Fund to the Surviving Fund in exchange for shares of the Surviving Fund. Currently, the Surviving Fund offers three separate share classes: Investor Shares, Select Shares and Institutional Shares. Prior to the Reorganization, these three separate share classes will be combined into a single class of shares of the Surviving Fund and the Surviving Fund will no longer offer separate share classes. Accordingly, shareholders of Investor Shares and Select Shares of the Acquired Fund will receive shares of the sole remaining share class of the Surviving Fund in connection with the Reorganization.

     After the transfer of all its assets and liabilities in exchange for shares of the Surviving Fund, the Acquired Fund will distribute the shares to its shareholders in liquidation of the Acquired Fund. Each shareholder owning shares of any share class of the Acquired Fund at the closing of the Reorganization will receive shares of the Surviving Fund equal in aggregate value to his or her interest in the Acquired Fund, and will receive any unpaid dividends or distributions on shares of the Acquired Fund that were declared at or before the closing of the Reorganization. The Surviving Fund will establish an account for each former shareholder of the Acquired Fund reflecting the appropriate number of shares distributed to the shareholder. These accounts will be substantially identical to the accounts currently maintained by the Acquired Fund for each shareholder. In connection with the Reorganization, all outstanding shares of the Acquired Fund will be cancelled, and the Acquired Fund will wind up its affairs and be terminated. For further information about the Reorganization, see the Prospectus.

     B. Additional Information about the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund

     The Statement of Additional Information of Laudus Trust relating to the Acquired Fund dated July 29, 2009 and the Statement of Additional Information of Schwab Capital Trust relating to the Surviving Fund dated February 28, 2009, as amended July 1, 2009, are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

     C. Financial Statements

     The following historical financial information regarding the Acquired Fund and Surviving Fund is incorporated herein by reference as follows:

     1. the Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and audited financial statements of the Acquired Fund included in the Acquired Fund Annual Report are hereby incorporated herein by reference to such Annual Report. No other parts of the Acquired Fund Annual Report are incorporated herein by reference; and

     2. the Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and audited financial statements of the Surviving Fund included in the Surviving Fund Annual Report are hereby incorporated herein by reference to such Annual Report. No other parts of the Surviving Fund Annual Report are incorporated herein by reference.

     3. The unaudited financial statements of the Surviving Fund included in the Surviving Fund Semi-Annual Report. No other parts of the Surviving Fund Semi-Annual Report are incorporated herein by reference.

     D. Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)

     The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are presented for the information of the reader and may not necessarily be representative of what the actual combined financial statements would have been had the Reorganization occurred on April 30, 2009.

     The Surviving Fund commenced operations on May 30, 2008, while the Acquired Fund had a full twelve-months of operations as of April 30, 2009. The unaudited pro forma combined schedule of investments and statement of assets and liabilities reflect the combined financial position of the Acquired Fund and Surviving Fund as of April 30, 2009. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the period from May 30, 2008 through April 30, 2009, presents the combined results of operations of the Acquired Fund and Surviving Fund for the period that began May 30, 2008 and ended April 30, 2009. The unaudited pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of future operations or the actual results that would have occurred had the combination been consummated at April 30, 2009.

     These historical statements have been derived from the respective books of the Acquired Fund and Surviving Fund and records utilized in calculating daily net asset value at April 30, 2009, and stated for the period then ended under auditing principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the investment company industry.

     Under generally accepted accounting principles, the historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the surviving entity and the results of operations of the Surviving Fund for pre-combination periods will not be restated. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the separate financial statements of the Acquired Fund and Surviving Fund incorporated by reference into this SAI.

     As discussed in the Prospectus, prior to the Reorganization, the Surviving Fund’s three share classes will be combined into a single class of shares of the Fund and the shareholders of the Acquired Fund will receive shares of the sole remaining share class of the Surviving Fund in connection with the Reorganization. The pro forma financial information of the Surviving Fund in the following tables has been restated to reflect the capitalization of the Surviving Fund as if the combination of the Surviving Fund’s three share classes into a single class of shares occurred on April 30, 2009.

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements
April 30, 2009

1. BASIS OF COMBINATION

     The unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Assets and Liabilities, including the Pro Forma Schedule of Investments (“Pro Forma Statements”) as of April 30, 2009, and the related Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations for the period beginning May 30, 2008 and ended April 30, 2009, reflect the accounts of the Laudus Rosenberg International Equity Fund, a series of Laudus Trust (the “Laudus Fund” or the “Acquired Fund”) and the Schwab International Core Equity Fund, a series of Schwab Capital Trust (the “Schwab Fund” or the “Surviving Fund” and, together with the Acquired Fund, the “Funds”). The Pro Forma Combined Statement of Assets and Liabilities has been restated to reflect a tax free exchange of the Acquired Fund’s shares as of the close of business on April 30, 2009.

     The Pro Forma Statements give effect to the proposed transfer of all the assets and liabilities of the Acquired Fund in exchange for shares of the Surviving Fund (the “Reorganization”). In conjunction with the Reorganization, the Surviving Fund will be the accounting survivor. Prior to the Reorganization, the Surviving Fund’s three share classes will be combined into a single class of shares of the Surviving Fund and the shareholders of the Acquired Fund will receive shares of the sole remaining share class of the Surviving Fund in connection with the Reorganization. The pro forma financial information of the Surviving Fund has been restated to reflect the capitalization of the Surviving Fund as if the combination of the Surviving Fund’s three share classes into a single class of shares occurred on April 30, 2009.

     The Pro Forma Statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Surviving Fund and the Acquired Fund included in their respective Annual Reports and the Surviving Fund’s Semi-Annual Report.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General—The accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Security Valuation—The Funds value the securities in their portfolios every business day. The Funds use the following policies to value various types of securities:

• Securities traded on an exchange or over-the-counter: valued at the closing value for the day, or, on days when no closing value has been reported, halfway between the most recent bid and asked quotes. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges are valued at the closing values of such securities on their respective exchanges with these values then translated into U.S. dollars at the valuation date exchange rate.

• Securities for which no quoted value is available or when a significant event has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time the Funds calculate net asset value: valued at fair value, as determined in good faith by the Funds’ investment adviser using guidelines adopted by the Funds’ Board of Trustees and the Pricing Committee. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued at fair value include: the security’s trading has

28

	been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price, or certain foreign securities’ closing market values adjusted for changes in value that may occur between the close of foreign exchange and the time at which Funds’ shares are priced. The Board of Trustees regularly reviews fair value determinations made by the Funds pursuant to the procedures.
•	Short-term debt securities (60 days or less to maturity): valued at amortized cost, when it approximates market value.
•	Underlying funds: valued at their respective net asset values as determined by those Funds in accordance with the 1940 Act for a given day.

3. CAPITAL SHARES

     The Pro Forma Combined net asset value per share assumes the issuance of additional shares of the Surviving Fund which would have been issued at April 30, 2009, in connection with the proposed reorganization. Assuming a merger date of April 30, 2009, shareholders of the Laudus Fund’s Investor Shares and Select Shares would have received 1.0968 shares and 1.0940 shares, respectively, of the Schwab Fund in exchange for 1 Investor and 1 Select Share of the Laudus Fund. The Pro Forma Statements assume that all shares of the Acquired Fund outstanding on April 30, 2009, were exchanged, tax free, for shares of the Surviving Fund.

4. PRO FORMA OPERATING EXPENSES

The pro forma adjustments to these pro forma financial statements are comprised of:

(a) Adjustment to eliminate certain duplicated custodian fees for the reporting period;

(b) Adjustment to eliminate certain duplicated audit fees for the reporting period;

(c) Adjustment to eliminate duplicated accounting/administration fees for the reporting period;

(d) Adjustment to reflect the contractual expense limitation in effect for the Surviving Fund.

5. TAX MATTERS

     The Funds intend to meet federal income and excise tax requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the Funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and realized net capital gains (if any) to their respective shareholders each year. As long as a Fund meets the tax requirements, it is not required to pay federal income tax. Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, this Reorganization should be treated as a tax-free business combination.

6. FUND EXPENSES

     Effective May 5, 2009, Charles Schwab & Co. Inc., and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc.

7. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“SFAS No. 157”), Fair Value Measurements, effective April 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

     SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

• Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

• Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

     The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of April 30, 2009:

	Laudus				Schwab				Pro Forma Combined
	Fund*				Fund				Schwab Fund

*	Does not include the trading activities on the last day of the period.
**	The Funds have no Other Financial Instruments at the end of the period.

     On April 9, 2009, FASB issued FASB Staff position (“FSP”) No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of FSP 157-4 on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

     In March 2008, FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about Funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 161 on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

PART C
OTHER INFORMATION

Item 15 Indemnification

          Article VIII of Registrant’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust (Exhibit (1) hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference) provides in effect that Registrant will indemnify its officers and trustees against all liabilities and expenses, including but not limited to amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties, and counsel fees reasonably incurred by any such officer or trustee in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit, or other proceeding. The relevant language of the Declaration of Trust reads as follows:

“Trustees, Officers, etc.

Section 1. The Trust shall indemnify each of its Trustees and officers (including persons who serve at the Trust’s request as directors, officers or trustees of another organization in which the Trust has any interest as a shareholder, creditor or otherwise) (hereinafter referred to as a “Covered Person”) against all liabilities and expenses, including but not limited to amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties, and counsel fees reasonably incurred by any Covered Person in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any court or administrative or legislative body, in which such Covered Person may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise or with which such Covered Person may be or may have been threatened, while in office or thereafter, by reason of being or having been such a Covered Person except with respect to any matter as to which such Covered Person shall have been finally adjudicated in any such action, suit or other proceeding to be liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Covered Person’s office. Expenses, including counsel fees so incurred by any such Covered Person (but excluding amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines or penalties), shall be paid from time to time by the Trust in advance of the final disposition of any such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay amounts so paid to the Trust if it is ultimately determined that indemnification of such expenses is not authorized under this Article, provided, however, that either (a) such Covered Person shall have provided appropriate security for such undertaking, (b) the Trust shall be insured against losses arising from any such advance payments or (c) either a majority of the disinterested Trustees acting on the matter (provided that a majority of the disinterested Trustees then in office act on the matter), or independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall have determined, based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial type inquiry) that there is reason to believe that such Covered Person will be found entitled to indemnification under this Article.

Compromise Payment

Section 2. As to any matter disposed of (whether by a compromise payment, pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise) without an adjudication by a court, or by any other body before which the proceeding was brought, that such Covered Person either (a) did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interests of the Trust or (b) is liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of wilful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office, indemnification shall be provided if (a) approved as in the best interests of the Trust, after notice that it involves such indemnification, by at least a majority of the disinterested Trustees acting on the matter (provided that a majority of the disinterested Trustees then in office act on the matter) upon a determination, based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial type inquiry) that such Covered Person acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interests of the Trust and is not liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office, or (b) there has been obtained an opinion in writing of independent legal counsel, based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial type inquiry) to the effect that such Covered Person appears to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interests

of the Trust and that such indemnification would not protect such Person against any liability to the Trust to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office. Any approval pursuant to this Section shall not prevent the recovery from any Covered Person of any amount paid to such Covered Person in accordance with this Section as indemnification if such Covered Person is subsequently adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that such Covered Person’s action was in the best interests of the Trust or to have been liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Covered Person’s office.

Indemnification Not Exclusive

Section 3. The right of indemnification hereby provided shall not be exclusive of or affect any other rights to which such Covered Person may be entitled. As used in this Article VIII, the term “Covered Person” shall include such person’s heirs, executors and administrators and a “disinterested Trustee” is a Trustee who is not an “interested person” of the Trust as defined in Section 2(a) (19) of the 1940 Act (or who has been exempted from being an “interested person” by any rule, regulation or order of the Commission) and against whom none of such actions, suits or other proceedings or another action, suit or other proceeding on the same or similar grounds is then or has been pending. Nothing contained in this Article shall affect any rights to indemnification to which personnel of the Trust, other than Trustees or officers, and other persons may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law, nor the power of the Trust to purchase and maintain liability insurance on behalf of any such person; provided, however, that the Trust shall not purchase or maintain any such liability insurance in contravention of applicable law, including without limitation the 1940 Act.”
