Dear Shareholder:
The Special Meeting of shareholders for the First Eagle Funds (the “Funds”) was adjourned to provide shareholders who have not yet cast their important vote with more time to do so. The adjourned meeting is scheduled for November 13, 2015. Please cast your proxy vote now so that your vote will be received in time for this adjourned meeting.
The purpose of this Special Meeting is to vote on the approval of each Fund’s advisory agreement (and, with respect to First Eagle Fund of America, the subadvisory agreement), which is required to be approved due to a prospective change of ownership of the parent company of First Eagle Investment Management, LLC, the investment adviser to the Funds (the “Adviser”). The advisory agreements you are voting on will continue the existing advisory arrangement with the Adviser (and, for First Eagle Fund of America, the subadviser). In addition, there will be no change in investment personnel or in the advisory fees charged to the Funds in connection with this prospective change in ownership. You can find further detail about the actual proposals and voting on the enclosed proxy form. After careful consideration, the Board of Trustees recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” each proposal.
In order to continue on with the normal operation of each Fund, we need your help by voting the enclosed proxy form.
Voting is important as every share counts toward reaching the number of shares required to approve the business of this Special Meeting. Please help us by taking a moment to cast your vote today.
Sincerely,
John P. Arnhold
President
