Dear Shareholder:

We are writing to inform you about reorganizations that will affect your investment in T. Rowe Price Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Fund, T. Rowe Price Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund, and T. Rowe Price Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund (each, an “Institutional Fund” and together, the “Institutional Funds”). As provided in an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization for each Institutional Fund, each Institutional Fund will be reorganized (each, a “Reorganization” and together, the “Reorganizations”) into a corresponding mutual fund advised by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (“T. Rowe Price”), the same investment adviser to each Institutional Fund, as set out in the table below under the heading “Acquiring Funds” (each, an “Acquiring Fund,” together, the “Acquiring Funds,” and collectively with the Institutional Funds, the “Funds”).


Institutional Funds	Acquiring Funds	Expected Closing Date
T. Rowe Price Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Fund	T. Rowe Price Global Stock Fund	November 25, 2019
T. Rowe Price Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund	T. Rowe Price Global Growth Stock Fund	November 25, 2019
T. Rowe Price Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund	T. Rowe Price U.S. Equity Research Fund (prior to July 1, 2019, named the T. Rowe Price Capital Opportunity Fund)	November 18, 2019

Each Reorganization will be consummated on or about the date indicated in the above table. The Agreement and Plan of Reorganizations (each, a “Plan” and together, the “Plans”) were approved by the Funds’ Boards of Directors (the “Boards”).

Under each Plan, shareholders of each Institutional Fund will become shareholders of the I Class of the corresponding Acquiring Fund (each, an “I Class” and together, the “I Classes”). The value of an account in an I Class will be the same as it was in the Institutional Fund on the Closing Date of the Reorganization. The reasons the Board approved the Reorganizations are briefly summarized below. The accompanying

combined information statement and prospectus contains detailed information on the transactions and comparisons of the Funds.

Each Institutional Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund have identical investment objectives and investment programs. The primary difference between the Funds is that the Acquiring Funds are offered in multiple share classes, including an Investor Class, I Class, Advisor Class, and with respect to the U.S. Equity Research Fund, an R Class, each of which is available to a variety of investors and has a different investment minimum. Each Institutional Fund is generally only available to institutional investors and requires an initial investment of $1,000,000, which is the same as each I Class’s investment minimum.

As discussed in more detail in the accompanying combined information statement and prospectus, the net expense ratios of the Global Stock and Global Growth Stock Funds’ I Classes were lower than their corresponding Institutional Funds as of each Fund’s most recent semiannual period (including the effects of any expense limitation agreements that are currently in place). The Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund’s net expense ratio was slightly lower than the U.S. Equity Research Fund’s I Class as of each fund’s most recently completed semiannual period. As a result, T. Rowe Price has agreed to limit the U.S. Equity Research Fund’s I Class’ operating expenses (through at least April 30, 2022) such that the I Class’ net expense ratio will not be higher than the U.S. Structured Research Fund’s net expense ratio, as of June 30, 2019.

Since each Acquiring Fund invests in a substantially similar portfolio to its corresponding Institutional Fund, and since each I Class has the same or a lower net expense ratio than that of its corresponding Institutional Fund, it is not a financial benefit to a high account balance shareholder to choose an Institutional Fund over the I Class of an Acquiring Fund. Accordingly, the Boards and fund management believe that offering a single fund with each investment program to a wide variety of investors will allow all shareholders to take advantage of potential economies of scale and reduce inefficiencies that can result from offering two substantially similar funds. Each Institutional Fund will automatically be canceled and redeemed for I Class shares of equal value on the applicable Closing Date indicated in the table above. Please note that the Reorganizations are not taxable events, but redeeming or exchanging your shares prior to a Reorganization may be a taxable event, depending on your individual tax situation. The cost basis and holding periods of the Institutional Funds shares will carry over to the I Class shares that you will receive in connection with the Reorganization.

NO SHAREHOLDER ACTION IS REQUIRED AS A RESULT OF THE REORGANIZATIONS. We are not asking you for a proxy and you are not requested to send us a proxy. However, if you have any questions regarding the enclosed combined information statement and prospectus, please call T. Rowe Price at
1-800-638-8790.

Any such other information or representation should not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Institutional Funds or Acquiring Funds.

SUMMARY

The information contained in this summary is qualified by reference to the more detailed information appearing elsewhere in this Statement, and in the Plans, which are included as Exhibit A to this Statement.

Why are the Reorganizations taking place?

At a meeting held on July 31, 2019, the Boards of Directors of the Funds (the “Boards”), including a majority of the independent directors, approved the Plan of each Institutional Fund to be reorganized into its corresponding Acquiring Fund.

What do the Plans provide for?

Each Plan provides for the transfer of substantially all the assets and liabilities of an Institutional Fund to its corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange for I Class shares of the Acquiring Fund. Following the transfer, the I Class shares received in the exchange will be distributed to shareholders of the Institutional Fund in complete liquidation of each Institutional Fund. All issued and outstanding shares of the Institutional Funds will then be simultaneously redeemed. As a result of the transaction: (1) you will cease being a shareholder of the Institutional Fund(s); (2) instead you will become an owner of I Class shares of the Acquiring Fund(s); and (3) the value of your account in the Acquiring Fund(s) will equal the value of your account in the Institutional Fund(s) as of the close of the business day immediately preceding the closing date of the transaction.

Do I need to vote for the Reorganizations?

No. No vote of shareholders will be taken with respect to the Reorganizations. THE FUNDS ARE NOT ASKING FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE NOT REQUESTED TO SEND A PROXY TO THE FUNDS WITH RESPECT TO THE REORGANIZATIONS.

Do I need to take any action in connection with the Reorganizations?

No. Your shares will automatically be canceled and redeemed for I Class shares of the Acquiring Fund on the Closing Date of the applicable Reorganization.

Will I have to pay any sales charge, commission, redemption or other similar fee in connection with the applicable Reorganizations?

No, you will not have to pay any sales charge, commission, redemption or other similar fee in connection with the applicable Reorganization. The I Class does not impose sales charges and does not make any administrative fee payments or 12b-1 fee payments to financial intermediaries. However, you may incur brokerage commissions and other charges when buying or selling I Class shares through a financial intermediary.

Who will pay for the Reorganizations?

The expenses incurred to execute the Reorganizations, including all direct and indirect expenses, will be paid by the Funds and their shareholders since each Reorganization is expected to benefit the Funds. The total estimated expenses associated with each Reorganization are as follows:


Funds	Estimated Reorganization Expenses	Estimated Transaction Costs*
Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Fund	$6,000	$2,000
Global Stock Fund	$14,000	$8,000
Total	$20,000	$10,000

* Includes estimated brokerage commissions and other transaction costs.


Funds	Estimated Reorganization Expenses	Estimated Transaction Costs*
Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund	$13,000	$33,000
Global Growth Stock Fund	$11,000	$77,000
Total	$24,000	$110,000

* Includes estimated brokerage commissions and other transaction costs.


Funds	Estimated Reorganization Expenses	Estimated Transaction Costs*
Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund	$14,000	$—
U.S. Equity Research Fund	$7,000	$—
Total	$21,000	$—

* Includes estimated brokerage commissions and other transaction costs.

Will there be any tax consequences to the Institutional Funds or their shareholders?

The Reorganizations will each be structured to have no adverse tax consequences to the Institutional Funds or their shareholders. Each Reorganization is conditioned upon the receipt of an opinion of tax counsel to the Funds that, for federal income tax purposes:

· no gain or loss will be recognized by an Institutional Fund, an Acquiring Fund, or their shareholders as a result of a Reorganization;

· the holding period and adjusted basis of the I Class shares received by a shareholder will have the same holding period and adjusted basis of the shareholder’s shares of an Institutional Fund; and

· Each Acquiring Fund will assume the holding period and adjusted basis of each asset (with certain exceptions) of its corresponding Institutional Fund that is transferred to the Acquiring Fund that the asset had immediately prior to the Reorganization. See “Information About the Reorganizations—Tax Considerations” for more information.

It is anticipated that substantially all of each Institutional Fund’s portfolio holdings will transfer to the corresponding Acquiring Fund as part of each Reorganization. It should be noted, however, that both the Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity and Institutional Global Growth Equity Funds are expected to sell certain nontransferable international securities prior to each Fund’s Reorganization, which are expected to result in capital gains. Based on information as of June 30, 2019, T. Rowe Price estimates that these sales would result in a net capital gain position of approximately $7,000,000 (or $0.99 per share) for the Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund and approximately $460,000 (or $0.10 per share) for the Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Fund. This amount does not take into account current year net realized capital gains (or losses). The Global Stock and Global Growth Stock Funds will, in turn, buy similar positions in the same securities prior to the Reorganizations. These transactions will result in brokerage expenses. T. Rowe Price estimates that the brokerage commissions and other transaction costs (including taxes and stamps) relating to the sale and purchase of these nontransferable securities will be approximately $10,000 for replicating the positions of the Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Fund in the Global Stock Fund, and approximately $110,000 for replicating the positions of the Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund in the Global Growth Stock Fund. In addition, the Institutional Funds are expected to close out any derivatives positions (if applicable) and, although unlikely, sell any assets prior to the Reorganizations that are deemed not acceptable to the corresponding Acquiring Fund or inconsistent with the Acquiring Fund’s investment program, which could result in additional brokerage expenses. Each Institutional Fund will distribute substantially all of its taxable income as a dividend to its shareholders prior to the Reorganizations. In addition, because the Institutional Global Growth Equity and Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Funds are expected to have net realized gains at the time of the Reorganization, it is anticipated that these Funds will also distribute capital gains to shareholders prior to the Reorganization. The actual amount of capital gains (or losses) and brokerage commissions and other transaction costs resulting from the purchase and sale of any securities will differ from the amounts stated above due to changes in market conditions, portfolio composition, and market values at the time of sale. In addition, because the Acquiring Funds may have realized gains at the end of the year, Institutional Fund shareholders who receive I Class shares in connection with the Reorganization may, as shareholders of an Acquiring Fund, receive a second capital gain distribution in December made by the Acquiring Fund. In reporting tax information to their shareholders and the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), the Funds follow the IRS requirements. See “Information About the Reorganization—Tax Considerations” for more information.

What if I redeem my shares before the applicable Reorganization takes place?

If you choose to redeem your shares before the Reorganizations take place, then the redemption will be treated as a normal sale of shares and, generally, will be a taxable transaction.

What are the investment objectives and policies of the Acquiring Funds and the Institutional Funds?

The investment objectives of each Acquiring Fund and its corresponding Institutional Fund are identical, as set out in the table below. See “Comparison of Investment Objectives, Policies, and Restrictions.”


Funds	Investment Objective
Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Fund Global Stock Fund	The funds seek long-term growth of capital through investments primarily in the common stocks of established companies throughout the world, including the U.S.
Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund Global Growth Stock Fund	The funds seek long-term growth of capital through investments primarily in the common stocks of large-cap companies throughout the world, including the U.S.
Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund U.S. Equity Research Fund	The funds seek to provide long-term capital growth by investing primarily in U.S. common stocks.

Each Acquiring Fund and its corresponding Institutional Fund have identical investment programs, as summarized in the table below.


Funds	Principal Investment Strategies

Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Fund Global Stock Fund	The Funds seek to be broadly diversified by investing in a variety of industries in developed and, to a lesser extent, emerging markets. The Funds normally invest in at least five countries, one of which is the U.S. Under normal conditions, at least 80% of the Funds’ net assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) will be invested in stocks and at least 40% of the fund’s net assets will be invested in stocks of companies outside the U.S. (at least 30% if foreign market conditions are not favorable). While the funds have flexibility to purchase stocks of companies of any size, investments will typically focus on large and mid-cap growth stocks.


Funds	Principal Investment Strategies

	While the adviser invests with an awareness of the global economic backdrop and the adviser’s outlook for certain industries, sectors, and individual countries, the adviser’s decision-making process focuses on bottom-up stock selection. Country allocation is driven largely by stock selection, though the adviser may limit investments in markets or industries that appear to have poor overall prospects.
	Security selection reflects a growth style. The adviser relies on a global team of investment analysts dedicated to in-depth fundamental research in an effort to identify companies capable of achieving and sustaining above-average, long-term earnings growth. The adviser seeks to purchase stocks of companies at reasonable prices in relation to present or anticipated earnings, cash flow, or book value. The Funds may at times invest significantly in certain sectors, such as the information technology sector.
	In selecting investments, the adviser generally favors companies with one or more of the following characteristics:
	• leading or improving market position; • attractive business niche; • attractive or improving franchise or industry position; • seasoned management; • stable or improving earnings and/or cash flow; and • sound or improving balance sheet.
	The Funds may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into more promising opportunities.

	The Funds define a large-cap company as one whose market capitalization (number of shares outstanding multiplied by share price) falls within or above the applicable range for companies included in the MSCI All Country World Large Cap Index. The Funds’ and MSCI Inc.’s definition of a large-cap company depends on whether the company is located in a developed market or an emerging market. As of December 31, 2018, the Index’s market capitalization range for large-cap companies in developed markets was approximately $5 billion to $785 billion, and the market capitalization range for large-cap companies in emerging markets was approximately $970 million to $382 billion. The Funds also rely on MSCI Inc. to classify a particular country as developed or emerging. The market capitalization of the companies in the Funds’ portfolio and the Index changes over time; the Funds will not automatically sell or cease to purchase additional stock of a company it already owns just because the company’s market capitalization falls below the range of the Index.

Funds	Principal Investment Strategies
Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund U.S. Equity Research Fund	The strategy attempts to create a portfolio with similar characteristics to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index^® (S&P 500 Index) with the potential to provide excess returns relative to the index. The Funds use a disciplined portfolio construction process whereby they weight each sector and industry approximately the same as the S&P 500 Index. Within each sector and industry, the weighting of individual fund holdings can vary significantly from their weighting within the S&P 500 Index. The Funds, which may be considered “enhanced index” funds, attempt to outperform the S&P 500 Index by overweighting those stocks that are viewed favorably relative to their weighting in the index, and underweighting or avoiding those stocks that are viewed negatively. The Funds may also purchase stocks that are not in the S&P 500 Index, but at least 80% of the Funds’ total assets will normally be invested in stocks that are in the S&P 500 Index at the time of purchase.
	A portfolio oversight team is responsible for the overall structure of the fund and for developing rules for portfolio construction. The portfolio oversight team seeks to take advantage of T. Rowe Price’s fundamental research by assigning equity analysts to select stocks for the Funds within industries where they have focused expertise. The equity analysts are directly responsible for selecting stocks and determining the stocks’ weights within their industry-specific portfolios. The analysts actively select stocks from the industries they cover based on fundamental research, which considers various factors such as the quality of a company’s management team and its business franchise, earnings growth potential of a company and its market sector, and valuation. The Funds’ portfolio oversight team maintains responsibility for evaluating the performance of the overall portfolio and the analysts’ stock selections, tracking and aligning the Funds’ risk characteristics with those of the S&P 500 Index, monitoring the portfolio’s exposures to industries and sectors, managing cash flows into and out of the Funds, and ensuring overall compliance by the analysts with the fund’s portfolio construction principles. The portfolio oversight team is responsible for selecting stocks that meet the Funds’ investment criteria, but have not yet been assigned to an analyst.



Funds	Principal Investment Strategies
	Because the Funds are designed to have similar characteristics to the S&P 500 Index, there is expected to be a relatively close correlation between the Funds’ performance and the performance of the index in both rising and falling markets. However, when compared to a fund that follows a strict indexing strategy, there is a much greater chance that the Funds’ performance will deviate from the index (referred to as “tracking error”) and the potential for higher portfolio turnover, which increases the possibility of taxable distributions to shareholders and results in higher transaction costs to the Funds.
	The Funds will generally remain fully invested (less than 5% in cash reserves) and seek to be sector neutral when compared to the S&P 500 Index. While the majority of assets will be invested in large-capitalization U.S. common stocks, small- and mid-capitalization and foreign stocks may also be purchased in keeping with fund objectives. Securities may be sold for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into more promising opportunities.
	In pursuing its investment objective, the Funds have the discretion to deviate from their normal investment criteria. These situations might arise when the adviser believes a security could increase in value for a variety of reasons, including an extraordinary corporate event, a new product introduction or innovation, a favorable competitive development, or a change in management.

Each post-Reorganization Fund (each, a “Combined Fund”) will continue to follow the current investment program that is shared by each Institutional Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund.

Oversight of the portfolio and specific decisions regarding the purchase and sale of fund investments are made by each Fund’s portfolio manager(s). Each Fund’s investment adviser and subadviser (if applicable) have established an Investment Advisory Committee with respect to each Fund, whose chairman (or cochairmen) have day-to-day responsibility for managing the portfolio and work with the committee in developing and executing each Fund’s investment program.

Both the Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity and Global Stock Funds are managed by David J. Eiswert, who serves as Chairman to each Fund’s investment advisory committee. Mr. Eiswert has been chairman of the committee since 2012. He joined the firm in 2003 and his investment experience dates from 2000. He has served as a portfolio manager with the firm throughout the past five years.

Both the Institutional Global Growth Equity and Global Growth Stock Funds are managed by R. Scott Berg, who serves as Chairman to each Fund’s investment advisory committee.

Will the Reorganizations result in higher fund expenses?

None of the Reorganizations are expected to result in higher net expenses. With respect to the transfer of assets of the Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund into the U.S. Equity Research Fund, this includes the effects of a contractual expense limitation agreement for the fund’s I Class, which may be terminated at any time beyond April 30, 2022, with approval by the fund's Board of Directors. If the expense limitation agreement was terminated, the fund’s fees and expenses may increase. However, once the assets of the Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund are combined with the U.S. Equity Research Fund, the combined fund is expected to operate below its contractual expense limit.

Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Fund into Global Stock Fund—I Class

Both the gross and net annual fund operating expense ratios for the T. Rowe Price Global Stock Fund—I Class are expected to be lower than that of the Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Fund after the Reorganization takes place. As of the six-month period ended April 30, 2019, the Global Stock Fund—I Class’ annualized gross and net expense ratios were 0.68%, which is lower than the Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Fund’s annualized gross and net expense ratios of 1.20% and 0.75%, respectively (the Institutional Fund’s net expense ratio includes the effect of an expense limitation agreement currently in place).

Fund’s particular characteristics, and a “group fee.” The group fee, which is designed to reflect the benefits of the shared resources of T. Rowe Price, is calculated daily based on the combined net assets of all T. Rowe Price mutual funds (except the funds-of-funds, T. Rowe Price Reserve Funds, Multi-Sector Account Portfolios, and any index or private-label mutual funds). The group fee schedule is graduated, declining as the combined assets of the T. Rowe Price Funds rise, so shareholders benefit from the overall growth in mutual fund assets. On April 30, 2019, the annual group fee rate was 0.29%. The individual fund fee, also applied to the fund’s average daily net assets, is 0.35%. Based on the group fee rate and individual fund fee rate, the Acquiring Fund’s overall management fee as of April 30, 2019 was 0.64%. In addition to the management fee, the Institutional Fund pays its operating expenses, and the I Class pays its pro-rata portion of fund operating expenses and class-specific operating expenses.

With respect to the Institutional Fund, T. Rowe Price has agreed (through February 28, 2021) to waive its fees and/or bear any expenses (excluding interest; expenses related to borrowings, taxes, and brokerage; nonrecurring, extraordinary expenses; and acquired fund fees and expenses) that would cause the Fund’s ratio of expenses to average daily net assets to exceed 0.75%.

The I Class also has an expense limitation agreement in place, although it is currently operating below its expense limitation. With respect to the I Class, T. Rowe Price has agreed (through February 28, 2021) to pay the operating expenses of the fund’s I Class excluding management fees; interest; expenses related to borrowings, taxes, and brokerage; nonrecurring, extraordinary expenses; and acquired fund fees and expenses (“I Class Operating Expenses”), to the extent the I Class Operating Expenses exceed 0.05% of the class’ average daily net assets. The agreement may be terminated at any time beyond February 28, 2021, with approval by the fund's Board of Directors. Any expenses paid under this agreement are subject to reimbursement to T. Rowe Price by the fund whenever the fund's I Class Operating Expenses are below 0.05%. However, no reimbursement will be made more than three years from the date such amounts were initially waived or reimbursed. The fund may only make repayments to T. Rowe Price if such repayment does not cause the I Class Operating Expenses (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed the lesser of: (1) the limitation on I Class Operating Expenses in place at the time such amounts were waived; or (2) the current expense limitation on I Class Operating Expenses. As of April 30, 2019, the I Class’ operating expenses were 0.04%, which is below the operating expense limitation of 0.05%.

After taking into account the effect of the Institutional Fund’s contractual expense limitation, the I Class’ net annual operating expense ratio is expected to be 0.07% lower than the Institutional Fund’s net annual operating expense ratio after the Reorganization (0.68% compared to 0.75%, respectively).

Additionally, in conjunction with the Reorganization, T. Rowe Price has agreed to implement two expense limitations in order to ensure that the terms of the Institutional Fund’s investment management agreement are not materially different

from the terms of the Acquiring Fund’s investment management agreement. Each of these expense limitation arrangements will be implemented as amendments to the Acquiring Fund’s investment management agreement. First, the management fee of the Acquiring Fund could increase if the group fee component increased due to a significant decrease in the combined net assets of all T. Rowe Price mutual funds. As a result, effective November 1, 2019, T. Rowe Price will permanently limit the Acquiring Fund’s overall management fee to the same rate of the Institutional Fund’s current management fee (0.65% of the fund’s average daily net assets). Fees waived under this agreement will not be subject to reimbursement to T. Rowe Price by the fund. Second, effective November 1, 2019, T. Rowe will waive its fees and/or bear any expenses (excluding interest; expenses related to borrowings, taxes, and brokerage; nonrecurring, extraordinary expenses; and acquired fund fees and expenses) that would cause the I Class’s ratio of expenses to average daily net assets to exceed 0.75% of the I Class’ daily net assets (through February 28, 2021), the current expense limit for the Institutional Fund. These arrangements may only be terminated with approval by the Acquiring Fund’s shareholders.

The following table further describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Funds. The fees and expenses of the Funds set forth below are annualized based on the fees and expenses for the six-month period ended April 30, 2019 and the pro forma fees and expenses reflect the expected fees and expenses of the Combined Fund as of April 30, 2019, assuming the Reorganization takes place as proposed.

The agreement may be terminated at any time after February 28, 2021, with approval by the fund’s Board of Directors. Fees waived and expenses

paid under this agreement (and a previous limitation of 0.75%) are subject to reimbursement to T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. by the fund whenever the class’ expense ratio is below 0.75%. However, no reimbursement will be made more than three years from the date such amounts were initially waived or reimbursed. The fund may only make repayments to T.

Example This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Funds with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in each Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods, that your investment has a 5% return each year, and that each Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The example also assumes that an expense limitation arrangement currently in place is not renewed; therefore, the figures have been adjusted to reflect fee waivers or expense reimbursements only in the periods for which the expense limitation arrangement is expected to continue. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund into Global Growth Stock Fund—I Class

Both the gross and net annual fund operating expense ratios for the Global Growth Stock Fund—I Class are expected to be lower than that of the Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund. As of the six-month period ended April 30, 2019, the Global Growth Stock Fund—I Class’ annualized gross and net expense ratios were 0.73% and 0.69%, respectively, which are lower than the Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund’s annualized gross and net expense ratios, both of which are 0.76% (the I Class’ net expense ratio includes the effect of an expense limitation agreement currently in place).

The Institutional Fund pays T. Rowe Price a management fee of 0.65% based on the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Acquiring Fund pays T. Rowe Price a management fee that consists of two components—an “individual fund fee,” which reflects the Fund’s particular characteristics, and a “group fee.” The group fee, which is designed to reflect the benefits of the shared resources of T. Rowe Price, is calculated daily based on the combined net assets of all T. Rowe Price mutual funds (except the funds-of-funds,

T. Rowe Price Reserve Funds, Multi-Sector Account Portfolios, and any index or private-label mutual funds). The group fee schedule is graduated, declining as the combined assets of the T. Rowe Price Funds rise, so shareholders benefit from the overall growth in mutual fund assets. On April 30, 2019, the annual group fee rate was 0.29%. The individual fund fee, also applied to the fund’s average daily net assets, is 0.35%. Based on the group fee rate and individual fund fee rate, the Acquiring Fund’s overall management fee as of April 30, 2019 was 0.64%. In addition to the management fee, the Institutional Fund pays its operating expenses, and the I Class pays its pro-rata portion of fund operating expenses and class-specific operating expenses.

As noted above, with respect to the I Class, T. Rowe Price has agreed (through February 28, 2021) to pay the operating expenses of the fund’s I Class excluding management fees; interest; expenses related to borrowings, taxes, and brokerage; nonrecurring, extraordinary expenses; and acquired fund fees and expenses (“I Class Operating Expenses”), to the extent the I Class Operating Expenses exceed 0.05% of the class’ average daily net assets. The agreement may be terminated at any time beyond February 28, 2021, with approval by the fund’s Board of Directors. Any expenses paid under this agreement are subject to reimbursement to T. Rowe Price by the fund whenever the fund’s I Class Operating Expenses are below 0.05%. However, no reimbursement will be made more than three years from the date such amounts were initially waived or reimbursed. The fund may only make repayments to T. Rowe Price if such repayment does not cause the I Class Operating Expenses (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed the lesser of: (1) the limitation on I Class Operating Expenses in place at the time such amounts were waived; or (2) the current expense limitation on I Class Operating Expenses.

After taking into account the effect of the I Class’ contractual expense limitation, the I Class’ net annual operating expense ratio is expected to be 0.07% lower than the Institutional Fund’s net annual operating expense ratio after the Reorganization (0.69% compared to 0.76%, respectively), through at least February 28, 2021.

Additionally, in conjunction with the Reorganization, T. Rowe Price has agreed to implement a permanent expense limitation in order to ensure that the terms of the Institutional Fund’s investment management agreement are not materially different from the terms of the Acquiring Fund’s investment management agreement. This expense limitation arrangement will be implemented as an amendment to the Acquiring Fund’s investment management agreement. The management fee of the Acquiring Fund could increase if the group fee component increased due to a significant decrease in the combined net assets of all T. Rowe Price mutual funds. As a result, effective November 1, 2019, T. Rowe Price will permanently limit the Acquiring Fund’s management fee to the same rate of the Institutional Fund’s current management fee (0.65% of the fund’s average daily net assets). Fees waived under this agreement will not be subject to reimbursement to T. Rowe Price by the fund. This arrangement may only be terminated with approval by the Acquiring Fund’s shareholders.

Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund into U.S. Equity Research Fund—I Class

Based on information as of the Funds’ most recently completed semiannual period, the net annual operating expense ratio for the Institutional Fund is expected to be slightly lower than that of the I Class (0.37% compared to 0.38%, respectively). As a result, to ensure that shareholders of the Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund will not experience a higher net expense ratio as a result of the Reorganization, T. Rowe Price has agreed to reduce an existing contractual limit on I Class operating expenses from 0.05% to 0.04% of the class’ average daily net assets (through at least April 30, 2022).

The Institutional Fund pays T. Rowe Price a management fee of 0.33% based on the Fund’s average daily net assets. This fee was reduced on June 1, 2019 from 0.50% to 0.33%. The Acquiring Fund pays T. Rowe Price a management fee that consists of two components—an “individual fund fee,” which reflects the Fund’s particular characteristics, and a “group fee.” The group fee, which is designed to reflect the benefits of the shared resources of T. Rowe Price, is calculated daily based on the combined net assets of all T. Rowe Price Funds (except the funds-of-funds, TRP Reserve Funds, Multi-Sector Account Portfolios, and any index or private-label mutual funds). The group fee schedule is graduated, declining as the combined assets of the T. Rowe Price Funds rise, so shareholders benefit from the overall growth in mutual fund assets. On December 31, 2018, the annual group fee rate was 0.29%. The individual fund fee, also applied to the fund’s average daily net assets, is 0.04%. This fee was reduced from 0.20% to 0.04% on June 1, 2019. Based on the group fee rate as of December 31, 2018 and the Fund’s current individual fund fee rate, the Acquiring Fund’s overall management fee as of December 31, 2018 was 0.33% (restated to reflect the current individual fund fee). In addition to the management fee, the Institutional Fund pays its operating expenses, and the I Class pays its pro-rata portion of fund operating expenses and class-specific operating expenses.

With respect to the I Class, T. Rowe Price has agreed (through April 30, 2021) to pay the operating expenses of the fund’s I Class excluding management fees; interest; expenses related to borrowings, taxes, and brokerage; nonrecurring, extraordinary expenses; and acquired fund fees and expenses (“I Class Operating Expenses”), to the extent the I Class Operating Expenses exceed 0.05% of the class’ average daily net assets. Effective November 1, 2019, this limit will be reduced to 0.04% of the class’

average daily net assets through at least April 30, 2022. All other terms of the contractual limit on I Class operating expenses will remain the same.

After taking into account the effect of the I Class’ reduced contractual expense limitation and combining the assets of the two funds, the I Class’ net annual operating expense ratio is expected to be the same as the Institutional Fund’s net annual operating expense ratio after the Reorganization (0.37%), through at least April 30, 2022.

Additionally, in conjunction with the Reorganization, T. Rowe Price has agreed to implement a permanent expense limitation in order to ensure that the terms of the Institutional Fund’s investment management agreement are not materially different from the terms of the Acquiring Fund’s investment management agreement. This expense limitation arrangement will be implemented as an amendment to the Acquiring Fund’s investment management agreement. The management fee of the Acquiring Fund could increase if the group fee component increased due to a significant decrease in the combined net assets of all T. Rowe Price mutual funds. As a result, effective November 1, 2019, T. Rowe Price will permanently limit the Acquiring Fund’s management fee to the same rate of the Institutional Fund’s current management fee (0.33% of the fund’s average daily net assets). Fees waived under this agreement will not be subject to reimbursement to T. Rowe Price by the fund. This arrangement may only be terminated with approval by the Acquiring Fund’s shareholders.

What are the Funds’ policies for purchasing, redeeming, exchanging, and pricing shares?

The I Classes and the Institutional Funds have substantially similar procedures for purchasing, redeeming, exchanging, and pricing shares. The I Classes and the Institutional Funds both generally require a $1 million minimum initial investment and there is no minimum for additional purchases, although the initial investment minimum for the I Class generally is waived for retirement plans, financial intermediaries, and certain client accounts for which T. Rowe Price or its affiliates have discretionary investment authority (the Institutional Funds may waive the investment minimum for certain types of accounts held through a retirement plan, financial adviser, or other financial intermediary). Shares of the Funds may be redeemed at their respective net asset values; however, large redemptions can adversely affect a portfolio manager’s ability to implement a Fund’s investment strategy by causing the premature sale of securities. Therefore, the Funds reserve the right (without prior notice) to pay all or part of redemption proceeds with securities from the Fund’s portfolio rather than in cash (redemption in-kind). The Funds’ procedures for pricing their shares are identical. Fund share prices are calculated at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4 p.m. ET) each day the exchange is open for business.

For more detailed information, please refer to the section 3 of each Fund’s prospectus, entitled “Information About Accounts in T. Rowe Price Funds.”

What are the Funds’ policies on dividends and distributions?

The Funds’ policies on dividends and distributions are identical. Each Fund has a policy of distributing, to the extent possible, all of its net investment income and realized capital gains to its respective shareholders. Any dividends or capital gains are declared and paid annually, usually in December. Redemptions or exchanges of fund shares and distributions by the fund, whether or not you reinvest these amounts in additional fund shares, may be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains unless you invest through a tax-deferred account (in which case you will be taxed upon withdrawal from such account).

What are the main risk factors of the Funds?

The principal risks of each Institutional Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund are identical. The Funds are exposed to various risks of stock investing, as described below. Any of the following could cause a decline in the price or income of the Funds.

Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Fund into Global Stock Fund

Active management risks The investment adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the Funds’ investments may prove to

be incorrect. The Funds could underperform in comparison to other funds with a similar benchmark or similar objectives and investment strategies if the Funds’ overall investment selections or strategies fail to produce the intended results.

Risks of stock investing Common stocks generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and may decline significantly over short time periods. There is a chance that stock prices overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising and falling prices. The value of a stock in which the Funds invest may decline due to general weakness in the stock market or because of factors that affect a particular company or industry.

International investing risks Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involves special risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. issuers. International securities tend to be more volatile and have lower overall liquidity than investments in U.S. securities and may lose value because of adverse local, political, social, or economic developments overseas, or due to changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. In addition, international investments are subject to settlement practices and regulatory and financial reporting standards that differ from those of the U.S. These risks are heightened for the Funds’ investments in emerging markets, which are more susceptible to governmental interference, less efficient trading markets, and the imposition of local taxes and restrictions on gaining access to the Funds’ investments. The United Kingdom’s exit from the EU (“Brexit”) may result in substantial volatility in foreign exchange markets and may lead to a sustained weakness in the British pound’s exchange rate against the United States dollar, the euro and other currencies, which may impact fund returns. In addition, China’s economy may be adversely impacted by trade or political disputes with China’s major trading partners, including the U.S., which may lead to significant volatility.

Investment style risks Different investment styles tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market conditions and investor sentiment. The Funds’ growth approach to investing could cause them to underperform other stock funds that employ a different investment style. Growth stocks tend to be more volatile than certain other types of stocks, and their prices may fluctuate more dramatically than the overall stock market. A stock with growth characteristics can have sharp price declines due to decreases in current or expected earnings and may lack dividends that can help cushion its share price in a declining market.

Market capitalization risks The Funds’ focus on large and medium-sized companies subjects the Funds to the risks that larger companies may not be able to attain the high growth rates of successful smaller companies, especially during strong economic periods, and that they may be less capable of responding quickly to competitive challenges and industry changes. Because the Funds focus on large and medium-sized companies, their share prices could be more volatile than Funds that invest only in large companies. Medium-sized companies typically have less experienced management, narrower product lines, more limited financial resources, and less publicly available information than larger companies.

Sector concentration risks At times, the Funds may have a significant portion of their assets invested in securities of companies conducting business in a broadly related group of industries within an economic sector. Companies in the same economic sector may be similarly affected by economic or market events, making the funds more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in that economic sector than funds that invest more broadly. For example, the Funds may have a significant portion of their assets invested in securities of companies in the information technology sector. Companies in the information technology sector can be adversely affected by, among other things, intense competition, earnings disappointments, and rapid obsolescence of products and services due to technological innovations or changing consumer preferences.

In addition, international investments are subject to settlement practices and regulatory and financial reporting standards that differ from those of the U.S. The United Kingdom’s exit from the EU (“Brexit”) may result in substantial volatility in foreign exchange markets and may lead to a sustained weakness in the British pound’s exchange rate against the United States dollar, the euro and other currencies, which may impact fund returns. In addition, China’s economy may be adversely impacted by trade or political disputes with China’s major trading partners, including the U.S., which may lead to significant volatility.

Emerging markets risks The risks of international investing are heightened for securities of issuers in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries tend to have economic structures that are less diverse and mature, and political systems that are less stable, than those of developed countries. In addition to all of the risks of investing in international developed markets, emerging markets are more susceptible to governmental interference, local taxes being imposed on international investments,

restrictions on gaining access to the fund’s investments, and less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity.

Investment style risks Different investment styles tend to shift into and out of favor depending on market conditions and investor sentiment. The Funds’ growth approach to investing could cause them to underperform other stock Funds that employ a different investment style. Growth stocks tend to be more volatile than certain other types of stocks, and their prices may fluctuate more dramatically than the overall stock market. A stock with growth characteristics can have sharp price declines due to decreases in current or expected earnings and may lack dividends that can help cushion its share price in a declining market.

Market capitalization risks Although stocks issued by larger companies tend to have less overall volatility than stocks issued by smaller companies, larger companies may not be able to attain the high growth rates of successful smaller companies, especially during strong economic periods. In addition, larger companies may be less capable of responding quickly to competitive challenges and industry changes, and may suffer sharper price declines as a result of earnings disappointments.

Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund into U.S. Equity Research Fund

Active management risks The investment adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the fund’s investments may prove to be incorrect. The Funds could underperform other funds with a similar benchmark or similar objectives and investment strategies if the Funds’ overall investment selections or strategies fail to produce the intended results.

Risks of U.S. stock investing Common stocks generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and may decline significantly over short time periods. There is a chance that stock prices overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising and falling prices. The value of a stock in which the fund invests may decline due to general weakness in the U.S. stock market, such as when the U.S. financial markets decline, or because of factors that affect a particular company or industry.

Investment style risks Different investment styles tend to shift into and out of favor depending on market conditions and investor sentiment. Because the Funds may hold stocks with either growth or value characteristics, they could underperform other stock funds that take a strictly growth or value approach to investing when one style is currently in favor. Growth stocks tend to be more volatile than the overall stock market and can have sharp price declines as a result of earnings disappointments. Value stocks carry the risk that the market will not recognize their intrinsic value or that they are actually appropriately priced at a low level.

Market capitalization risks The Funds’ focus on large companies subjects the Funds to the risks that larger companies may not be able to attain the high growth rates of

successful smaller companies, especially during strong economic periods, and that they may be less capable of responding quickly to competitive challenges and industry changes. Because the Funds may invest in companies of any size, their share price could be more volatile than funds that invest only in large companies. Small and medium-sized companies typically have less experienced management, narrower product lines, more limited financial resources, and less publicly available information than larger companies.

Foreign investing risks The Funds’ investments in foreign holdings may be adversely affected by local, political, social, and economic conditions overseas, greater volatility, reduced liquidity, or decreases in foreign currency values relative to the U.S. dollar.

REASONS FOR THE REORGANIZATIONS

The Boards of each Fund, including a majority of the independent directors, have determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the shareholders of each Fund and that the interests of shareholders of the Funds will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganizations.

In considering whether to approve the Reorganizations, the Boards reviewed the following matters and concluded that each Reorganization is in the best interest of the Funds for the reasons indicated below.

As explained in this Statement, each Institutional Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund offer an identical investment program. As of June 30, 2019, each Institutional Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund held a substantially similar set of securities. The I Class of each Acquiring Fund is available at either the same or a lower net expense ratio than the Institutional Fund. See “SUMMARY—Will the Reorganizations result in higher fund expenses?” With respect to the transfer of assets of the Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund into the U.S. Equity Research Fund, this includes the effects of a contractual expense limitation agreement for the fund’s I Class, which may be terminated at any time beyond April 30, 2022, with approval by the fund's Board of Directors. If the expense limitation agreement was terminated, the fund’s fees and expenses may increase. However, once the assets of the Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund are combined with the U.S. Equity Research Fund, the combined fund is expected to operate below its contractual expense limit.

In addition, as explained in this Statement, each Institutional Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund have identical investment strategies, policies and restrictions. The Institutional Funds and the I Classes are offered to institutional shareholders (and, with respect to the I Class, high net worth individuals) with at least a $1 million initial investment minimum and waivers of the minimum for similar types of accounts. The Boards and fund management believe that offering a single fund with each investment program to a wide variety of investors will allow all shareholders to take advantage of potential economies of scale and reduce inefficiencies that can result from offering two substantially similar funds.

The Board also considered the Funds’ performance. The average annual total returns of the Funds are set forth below.

a Return since 11/29/16.

The performance of each Institutional Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund has been substantially similar over the periods for which they have both been in operation. Minor differences in Fund performance over the same period were primarily due to differences in fees and slight differences in position sizes as each Fund sold securities to meet redemption requests or bought securities as the Fund gained assets. The differences in performance do not reflect a difference in strategy.

The Board also considered that the Reorganizations are not expected to create any tax liabilities for shareholders as the exchange of shares will not be a taxable event. The cost basis and holding periods of shares in an Institutional Fund will carry over to the I Class shares that a shareholder will receive as a result of a Reorganization.

In approving the Reorganization, the Board of each Institutional Fund also considered that Institutional Fund shareholders have the ability to redeem their shares at any time up to the date of the Reorganizations without redemption or other fees, although shareholders of the Institutional Global Growth Equity and Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Funds are expected to incur a taxable gain, and shareholders of the Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund could also incur a taxable gain. (While none of the Funds currently assess a redemption fee, prior to April 1, 2019, the Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity, Global Stock, Institutional Global Growth

Equity, and Global Growth Stock Funds charged a 2.00% redemption fee, as a percentage of the amount redeemed on shares held for 90 days or less.)

The Boards considered that each of the Acquiring Funds’ service provider agreements, including, among others, their investment advisory, subadvisory, distribution, fund accounting, and custody agreements, will remain in place and will not be modified as a result of the Reorganizations. The Boards further considered that the service providers to each Fund are identical, and that each of the Acquiring Funds’ service provider agreements are substantially similar to those currently in place for each Institutional Fund (with the exception of the differences between each Fund’s management fee, which is discussed under the heading “SUMMARY—Will the Reorganizations result in higher fund expenses?”).

The Board considered that the Funds share the same portfolio managers, and that the members of each Fund’s investment advisory committee are identical. No changes to the Acquiring Funds’ portfolio managers, investment advisory committee, or resources available to the Funds are expected as a result of the Reorganization.

The Institutional Funds and Acquiring Funds use identical pricing methodologies to value their respective assets. The assets of the Institutional Funds will be transferred to the Acquiring Funds at their fair market value on the valuation date of the transactions. Each of these assets are securities already held by the applicable Acquiring Fund and are therefore valued using the same pricing sources and methodologies. Shares of each Acquiring Fund equal in value to the assets will be received by each Institutional Fund in exchange. The expenses incurred to execute the Reorganization will be paid by the Funds and their shareholders since each Reorganization is expected to benefit the Funds. For these reasons, the Board believes that each Institutional Fund and its shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the transaction.

Therefore, in consideration of these factors, coupled with the fact the Funds have substantially similar portfolios, the Boards concluded that each Reorganization is in the best interests of the shareholders of the Institutional Funds and the Acquiring Funds. T. Rowe Price and the Boards believe that shareholders’ interests will be better served over time by completing this transaction.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATIONS

The following summary of the terms and conditions of the Plans is qualified by reference to the Plans, which are included as Exhibit A to this Statement.

Plans of Reorganization

Each Reorganization will be consummated on or about the date indicated in the below table, or such other date as is agreed to by each Institutional Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund (“Closing Date”).


Institutional Funds	Acquiring Funds	Closing Date
Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Fund	Global Stock Fund	November 25, 2019
Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund	Global Growth Stock Fund	November 25, 2019
Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund	U.S. Equity Research Fund	November 18, 2019

The parties to each Plan may postpone the Closing Date until a later date on which all of the conditions to the obligations of each party under the Plan are satisfied, provided that the Plan may be terminated by either party if the Closing Date does not occur on or before December 31, 2019. See “Conditions to Closing.”

On the Closing Date, each Institutional Fund will transfer substantially all of its assets to its corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange for I Class shares of the Acquiring Fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate value of the assets so transferred as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date (“Valuation Date”). Each Acquiring Fund will assume or otherwise be responsible for any liabilities of the Institutional Fund existing on the Valuation Date. The number of I Class shares of the Acquiring Fund issued in the exchange will be determined by dividing the aggregate value of the assets of the Institutional Fund transferred (computed in accordance with the policies and procedures set forth in the current prospectus of the Acquiring Fund, subject to review and approval by the Institutional Fund) by the net asset value per share of the Acquiring Fund as of the close of regular trading on the Valuation Date. While it is not possible to determine the exact exchange ratio until the Valuation Date, due to, among other matters, market fluctuations and differences in the relative performance of each Institutional Fund and Acquiring Fund, the following table indicates the number of Acquiring Fund shares shareholders of each Institutional Fund would have received had the Reorganization taken place on the date indicated in the table.


Institutional Funds	Acquiring Funds	Number of Shares	Date
Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Fund	Global Stock Fund	0.288	August 15, 2019
Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund	Global Growth Stock Fund	1.015	April 30, 2019
Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund	U.S. Equity Research Fund	0.464	June 30, 2019

As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, each Institutional Fund will distribute, in liquidation of the Institutional Fund, pro rata to its shareholders of record as of the close of business on the Valuation Date, the full and fractional shares of each Acquiring Fund received in the exchange. The Institutional Funds will accomplish this distribution by transferring the corresponding Acquiring Fund shares then credited to the account of the Institutional Fund on the books of the Acquiring Fund to open accounts on the share records of I Class shares of the Acquiring Fund in the names of the Institutional Fund’s shareholders, and representing the respective pro-rata number of the I Class shares of the Acquiring Fund due such shareholders. All issued and outstanding shares of the Institutional Funds will then be simultaneously canceled and redeemed.

The stock transfer books of the Institutional Funds will be permanently closed as of the close of business on the Valuation Date. The Institutional Funds will only accept redemption requests received prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the Valuation Date. Redemption requests received thereafter will be deemed to be requests for redemption of the Acquiring Fund shares to be distributed to Institutional Fund shareholders pursuant to each Plan.

Conditions to Closing

The obligation of each Institutional Fund to transfer its assets to the Acquiring Fund pursuant to each Plan is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including performance by the Acquiring Fund in all material respects of its agreements and undertakings under each Plan, receipt of certain documents from the Acquiring Fund and receipt of a tax opinion of counsel to the Acquiring Fund. The obligation of each Acquiring Fund to consummate the Reorganization is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including performance by each Institutional Fund of its agreements and undertakings under each Plan, receipt of certain documents and financial statements from each Institutional Fund, and receipt of a tax opinion of counsel to each Institutional Fund.

The consummation of the Reorganization is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Plans, some of which may be waived by the Boards of the Funds. The Plans may be terminated and the proposed transaction abandoned at any time prior to the Closing Date. See “Other Matters” below.

Expenses of Reorganization

The estimated expenses related to each Reorganization are set forth under the heading, “Who will pay for the Reorganizations?” These costs represent management’s estimate of professional services and fees, any costs related to printing, and mailing, the information statement, brokerage expenses and transaction costs (including taxes and stamps). The costs related to the Reorganizations will be borne by the Funds since each Reorganization is expected to benefit shareholders. It is anticipated that substantially all of the Institutional Funds’ portfolio holdings will transfer to the Acquiring Funds as part of the Reorganizations. Prior to the Reorganizations, any derivatives positions (if applicable) will generally be closed out, and any holdings that are deemed worthless will be disposed of.

Tax Considerations

Each Reorganization is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (IRC, or “Code”), with no gain or loss recognized as a consequence of the Reorganization by each Acquiring Fund and Institutional Fund or their shareholders.

The consummation of the transaction contemplated under the Plans is conditioned upon receipt of an opinion from Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, counsel to both Funds, to the effect that, on the basis of certain representations of fact by officers of the Institutional Funds and the Acquiring Funds, the existing provisions of the IRC, current administrative rules and court decisions, for federal income tax purposes:

· No gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Funds or the Institutional Funds or their shareholders as a result of the Reorganization.

· Shareholders of each Institutional Fund will carry over the cost basis and holding periods of their Institutional Fund shares to their new I Class shares.

· The Acquiring Funds will assume the bases and holding periods of the Institutional Funds’ assets (other than certain assets, if any, subject to mark to market treatment under special tax rules).

To ensure that the transaction qualifies as a tax-free reorganization, it must meet certain requirements—the most important of which are that substantially all of the assets of the Institutional Funds are transferred and that the Acquiring Funds will maintain the historical business (as defined by the IRS) of the Institutional Fund. In the opinion of counsel and to the best knowledge of the Funds’ officers, the proposed transaction will comply with these and all other relevant requirements.

Other tax consequences to shareholders of the Institutional Funds are:

· Certain securities held by the Institutional Funds are expected to be sold prior to the transaction and not acquired by the Acquiring Funds. It is possible that any such sales will increase or decrease the expected distributions to shareholders of the Institutional Funds prior to the Reorganization. The exact

amount of such sales and whether and to what extent they will result in taxable distributions to shareholders of the Institutional Funds will be influenced by a variety of factors and cannot be determined with certainty at this time.

· Since the cost bases of the Institutional Funds’ assets that are transferred will remain the same (other than certain assets, if any, subject to mark to market treatment under special tax rules), gains or losses on their subsequent sale by the Acquiring Funds will be shared with the shareholders of the Acquiring Funds. The potential shifting of tax consequences related to this is not expected to be significant.

· The Institutional Funds declare dividends annually (usually in December). Any taxable dividends of the Institutional Funds available for distribution prior to the Reorganizations will be distributed immediately prior to the Closing Date.

Based on the information available at the time of this Statement, it is anticipated that at the respective Closing Date, the Institutional Funds will not have any tax basis net realized capital losses. Any tax basis net realized capital losses of the Institutional Funds could be carried forward indefinitely to the applicable Acquiring Fund, although there may be certain limitations under the Code as to the amount that could be used each year by the Combined Fund to offset future tax basis net realized capital gains. In addition, based on the information available at the time of this Statement, it is anticipated that any tax basis net capital losses of the Acquiring Fund at the respective Closing Date can be carried forward indefinitely without annual limitation as to the amount that can be used to offset future tax basis net realized capital gains of the Combined Fund. As of June 30, 2019, the Global Stock and Global Growth Stock Funds have tax basis capital loss carryforwards.

Both the Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity and Institutional Global Growth Equity Funds are expected to sell certain nontransferable international securities prior to each Fund’s Reorganization, which are expected to result in capital gains. Based on information as of June 30, 2019, T. Rowe Price estimates that these sales would result in a net capital gain position of approximately $7,000,000 (or $0.99 per share) for the Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund and approximately $460,000 (or $0.10 per share) for the Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Fund. This amount does not take into account current year net realized capital gains (or losses). The Global Stock and Global Growth Stock Funds will, in turn, buy similar positions in the same securities prior to the Reorganizations. These transactions will result in brokerage expenses. T. Rowe Price estimates that the brokerage commission and other transaction costs (including taxes and stamps) relating to the sale and purchase of these nontransferable securities will be approximately $10,000 for replicating the positions of the Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Fund in the Global Stock Fund, and approximately $110,000 for replicating the positions of the Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund in the Global Growth Stock Fund. In addition, the Institutional Funds will close out any derivatives positions (if applicable) and, although unlikely, sell

any assets prior to the Reorganization that are deemed not acceptable to the applicable Acquiring Fund or inconsistent with the Acquiring Fund’s investment program, which could result in additional brokerage expenses and may affect the amount of income and capital gains that are required to be distributed. Because the Institutional Global Growth Equity and Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Funds are expected to have realized gains at the time of the Reorganizations, it is anticipated that these Funds will distribute taxable income (including the realized gains) as a taxable dividend and taxable capital gains to shareholders prior to the Reorganization. The actual amount of capital gains (or losses) and brokerage commissions and other transaction costs resulting from the purchase and sale of any securities will differ from the amounts stated above due to changes in market conditions, portfolio composition, and market values at the time of sale. In addition, because the Acquiring Funds may have realized gains that are required to be distributed by the end of the year, Institutional Fund shareholders may, as shareholders of an Acquiring Fund, receive another taxable capital gain distribution in December (made by the Acquiring Fund) that they otherwise would not incur. In reporting tax information to their shareholders and the IRS, the Funds follow the IRS requirements.

Shareholders should recognize that an opinion of counsel is not binding on the IRS or on any court. The Funds do not expect to obtain a ruling from the IRS regarding the consequences of a Reorganization. Accordingly, if the IRS sought to challenge the tax treatment of a Reorganization and was successful, neither of which is anticipated, the Reorganizations would be treated as a taxable sale of assets of the Institutional Funds, followed by the taxable liquidation of the Institutional Funds.

Other Matters

To the extent permitted by law, the Boards of the Funds may amend the Plans without shareholder approval or may waive any default by the Institutional Funds or the Acquiring Funds or the failure to satisfy any of the conditions of their obligations, provided that no such amendment or waiver may be made if it would adversely affect shareholders of the Institutional Funds or the Acquiring Funds. The Plans may be terminated and the Reorganizations abandoned at any time by action of the Boards. The Boards may, at their election, terminate the Plans in the event that a Reorganization has not closed on or before December 31, 2019.

Description of I Class Shares

Full and fractional I Class shares of each Acquiring Fund will be issued to shareholders of the Institutional Funds in accordance with the procedures under the Plans as previously described. Each Acquiring Fund share will be fully paid and nonassessable when issued, will have no preemptive or conversion rights, and will be transferrable on its books. Ownership of I Class shares of an Acquiring Fund by former shareholders of an Institutional Fund will be recorded electronically and the Acquiring Funds will issue a confirmation to such shareholders relating to those shares acquired as a result of the Reorganizations.

The voting rights of the Institutional Funds and the Acquiring Funds are the same. As shareholders of an Acquiring Fund, former shareholders of an Institutional Fund will have the same voting rights with respect to the Acquiring Fund as they currently have with respect to their Institutional Fund. Neither the Institutional Funds nor the Acquiring Funds routinely hold meetings of shareholders. Both the Institutional Funds and the Acquiring Funds are organized as series of a Maryland corporation. To hold a shareholders’ meeting for a Maryland corporation, one-third of the corporation’s shares entitled to be voted must have been received by proxy or be present in person at the meeting.

Accounting Survivor and Performance Reporting

Each Acquiring Fund will be the surviving fund for accounting, tax, and performance reporting purposes. The Acquiring Fund’s historical financial statements will be utilized for all financial reporting after each Reorganization and the performance of each Institutional Fund will no longer be used.

Capitalization

The following tables show the unaudited capitalization of each Institutional Fund and Acquiring Fund (as of each period indicated in the table), and on a pro forma basis as of that date giving effect to the proposed acquisition of fund assets. The actual net assets of the Institutional Funds and Acquiring Funds on the Valuation Date will differ due to fluctuations in net asset values, subsequent purchases, and redemptions of shares.

COMPARISON OF INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES,
POLICIES, AND RESTRICTIONS

The investment objectives, policies, and restrictions of the Funds are described in greater detail in their respective prospectuses.

What are the Funds’ investment objectives and policies?

Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Fund into Global Stock Fund

The investment objectives of the Funds are identical. Both Funds seek long-term growth of capital through investments primarily in the common stocks of established companies throughout the world, including the U.S. In seeking to achieve their investment objective, the Funds are guided by identical investment policies and restrictions.

The following describes both Funds’ principal investment strategies:

The Funds seek to be broadly diversified by investing in a variety of industries in developed and, to a lesser extent, emerging markets. The Funds normally invest in at least five countries, one of which is the U.S. Under normal conditions, at least 80% of the Funds’ net assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) will be invested in stocks and at least 40% of the fund’s net assets will be invested in stocks of companies outside the U.S. (at least 30% if foreign market conditions are not favorable). While the fund has flexibility to purchase stocks of companies of any size, investments will typically focus on large and mid-cap growth stocks.

While the adviser invests with an awareness of the global economic backdrop and the adviser’s outlook for certain industries, sectors, and individual countries, the adviser’s decision-making process focuses on bottom-up stock selection. Country allocation is driven largely by stock selection, though the adviser may limit investments in markets or industries that appear to have poor overall prospects.

Security selection reflects a growth style. The adviser relies on a global team of investment analysts dedicated to in-depth fundamental research in an effort to identify companies capable of achieving and sustaining above-average, long-term earnings growth. The adviser seeks to purchase stocks of companies at reasonable prices in relation to present or anticipated earnings, cash flow, or book value. The Funds may at times invest significantly in certain sectors, such as the information technology sector.

In selecting investments, the adviser generally favors companies with one or more of the following characteristics:

· leading or improving market position;

· attractive business niche;

· attractive or improving franchise or industry position;

· seasoned management;

· stable or improving earnings and/or cash flow; and

· sound or improving balance sheet.

The Funds may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into more promising opportunities.

The Funds have identical fundamental investment restrictions and policies, each of which is explained in each Fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. As a fundamental policy, the Funds may not:

· Borrow money, except that the funds may (i) borrow for non-leveraging, temporary, or emergency purposes; and (ii) engage in reverse repurchase agreements and make other investments or engage in other transactions, which may involve a borrowing, in a manner consistent with the funds’ investment objectives and programs, provided that the combination of (i) and (ii) shall not exceed 33⅓% of the value of the funds’ total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings) or such other percentage permitted by law. Any borrowings that come to exceed this amount will be reduced in accordance with applicable law. The funds may borrow from banks, other Price Funds, or other persons to the extent permitted by applicable law;

· Purchase or sell commodities, except to the extent permitted by applicable law;

· Purchase the securities of any issuer if, as a result, more than 25% of the value of the funds’ net assets would be invested in the securities of issuers having their principal business activities in the same industry;

· Make loans, although the funds may (i) lend portfolio securities and participate in an interfund lending program with other Price Funds provided that no such loan may be made if, as a result, the aggregate of such loans would exceed 33⅓% of the value of the funds’ total assets; (ii) purchase money market securities and enter into repurchase agreements; and (iii) acquire publicly distributed or privately placed debt securities and purchase debt;

· Purchase a security if, as a result, with respect to 75% of the value of the funds’ total assets, more than 5% of the value of the funds’ total assets would be invested in the securities of a single issuer, except for cash; securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities; and securities of other investment companies;

· Purchase a security if, as a result, with respect to 75% of the value of the funds’ total assets, more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any issuer would be held by the funds (other than obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities);

· Purchase or sell real estate, including limited partnership interests therein, unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the funds from investing in securities or other

instruments backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real estate business);

· Issue senior securities except in compliance with the 1940 Act; and

· Underwrite securities issued by other persons, except to the extent that the funds may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 (“1933 Act”) in connection with the purchase and sale of fund portfolio securities in the ordinary course of pursuing their investment programs.

The Funds are also subject to the following operating policies, each of which is explained in each Fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information:

· The Funds’ investments in P-notes are limited to 20% of total assets. Investments in P-notes are not subject to the limit on investments in hybrid instruments.

· The Funds may invest up to 5% of total assets in below investment-grade bonds. The Funds’ investments in convertible securities are not subject to this limit.

· Initial margin deposits on futures and premiums on options used for non-hedging purposes will not exceed 5% of the Funds’ net asset value. The total market value of securities covering call or put options may not exceed 25% of the Funds’ total assets. No more than 5% of the Funds’ total assets will be committed to premiums when purchasing call or put options.

· The Funds’ investments in hybrid instruments are limited to 10% of total assets.

Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund into Global Growth Stock Fund

The investment objectives of the Funds are identical. Both Funds seek long-term growth of capital through investments primarily in the common stocks of large-cap companies throughout the world, including the U.S. In seeking to achieve their investment objective, the Funds are guided by identical investment policies and restrictions.

The following describes both Funds’ principal investment strategies:

The Funds normally invest at least 80% of their net assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) in stocks of large-cap companies. Under normal conditions, the Funds will invest in at least five countries, one of which will be the U.S., and at least 40% of their net assets will be invested in stocks of large-cap companies outside the U.S., including companies in emerging markets (at least 30% if foreign market conditions are not favorable).

The Funds define a large-cap company as one whose market capitalization (number of shares outstanding multiplied by share price) falls within or above

the applicable range for companies included in the MSCI All Country World Large Cap Index. The Funds’ and MSCI Inc.’s definition of a large-cap company depends on whether the company is located in a developed market or an emerging market. As of December 31, 2018, the Index’s market capitalization range for large-cap companies in developed markets was approximately $5 billion to $785 billion, and the market capitalization range for large-cap companies in emerging markets was approximately $970 million to $382 billion. The Funds also rely on MSCI Inc. to classify a particular country as developed or emerging. The market capitalization of the companies in the Funds’ portfolio and the Index changes over time; the Funds will not automatically sell or cease to purchase additional stock of a company it already owns just because the company’s market capitalization falls below the range of the Index.

In selecting investments, the adviser generally favors companies with one or more of the following characteristics:

· leading or improving market position;

· attractive business niche;

· attractive or improving franchise or industry position;

· seasoned management;

· stable or improving earnings and/or cash flow; and

· sound or improving balance sheet.

The Funds may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into more promising opportunities.

· Borrow money, except that the funds may (i) borrow for non-leveraging, temporary, or emergency purposes; and (ii) engage in reverse repurchase

agreements and make other investments or engage in other transactions, which may involve a borrowing, in a manner consistent with the funds’ investment objectives and programs, provided that the combination of (i) and (ii) shall not exceed 33⅓% of the value of the funds’ total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings) or such other percentage permitted by law. Any borrowings that come to exceed this amount will be reduced in accordance with applicable law. The funds may borrow from banks, other Price Funds, or other persons to the extent permitted by applicable law;

· Purchase or sell commodities, except to the extent permitted by applicable law;

· Issue senior securities except in compliance with the 1940 Act; and

· Underwrite securities issued by other persons, except to the extent that the funds may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act in connection with the purchase and sale of fund portfolio securities in the ordinary course of pursuing their investment programs.

The Funds are also subject to the following policies, each of which is explained in each Fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information:

· The Funds’ investments in P-notes are limited to 20% of total assets. Investments in P-notes are not subject to the limit on investments in hybrid instruments.

· The Funds may invest up to 5% of total assets in below investment-grade bonds. The Funds’ investments in convertible securities are not subject to this limit.

· The Funds’ investments in hybrid instruments are limited to 10% of total assets.

Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund into U.S. Equity Research Fund

The investment objectives of the Funds are identical. Both Funds seek to provide long-term capital growth by investing primarily in U.S. common stocks. In seeking to achieve their investment objective, the Funds are guided by identical investment policies and restrictions.

The following describes both Funds’ principal investment strategies:

The strategy attempts to create a portfolio with similar characteristics to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index^® (S&P 500 Index) with the potential to provide excess returns relative to the Index. The Funds use a disciplined portfolio construction process whereby they weight each sector and industry approximately the same as the S&P 500 Index. Within each sector and industry, the weighting of individual fund holdings can vary significantly from their weighting within the S&P 500 Index. The Funds, which may be considered “enhanced index” funds, attempt to outperform the S&P 500 Index by overweighting those stocks that are viewed favorably relative to their weighting in the Index, and underweighting or avoiding those stocks that are viewed negatively. The Funds may also purchase stocks that are not in the S&P 500 Index, but at least 80% of the Funds’ total assets will normally be invested in stocks that are in the S&P 500 Index at the time of purchase.

A portfolio oversight team is responsible for the overall structure of the fund and for developing rules for portfolio construction. The portfolio oversight team seeks to take advantage of T. Rowe Price’s fundamental research by assigning equity analysts to select stocks for the Funds within industries where they have

focused expertise. The equity analysts are directly responsible for selecting stocks and determining the stocks’ weights within their industry-specific portfolios. The analysts actively select stocks from the industries they cover based on fundamental research, which considers various factors such as the quality of a company’s management team and its business franchise, earnings growth potential of a company and its market sector, and valuation. The Funds’ portfolio oversight team maintains responsibility for evaluating the performance of the overall portfolio and the analysts’ stock selections, tracking and aligning the Funds’ risk characteristics with those of the S&P 500 Index, monitoring the portfolio’s exposures to industries and sectors, managing cash flows into and out of the Funds, and ensuring overall compliance by the analysts with the fund’s portfolio construction principles. The portfolio oversight team is responsible for selecting stocks that meet the Funds’ investment criteria, but have not yet been assigned to an analyst.

Because the Funds are designed to have similar characteristics to the S&P 500 Index, there is expected to be a relatively close correlation between the fund’s performance and the performance of the Index in both rising and falling markets. However, when compared to a fund that follows a strict indexing strategy, there is a much greater chance that the Funds’ performance will deviate from the Index (referred to as “tracking error”) and the potential for higher portfolio turnover, which increases the possibility of taxable distributions to shareholders and results in higher transaction costs to the Funds.

The Funds will generally remain fully invested (less than 5% in cash reserves) and seek to be sector neutral when compared to the S&P 500 Index. While the majority of assets will be invested in large-capitalization U.S. common stocks, small- and mid-capitalization and foreign stocks may also be purchased in keeping with fund objectives. Securities may be sold for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into more promising opportunities.

In pursuing its investment objective, the Funds have the discretion to deviate from their normal investment criteria. These situations might arise when the adviser believes a security could increase in value for a variety of reasons, including an extraordinary corporate event, a new product introduction or innovation, a favorable competitive development, or a change in management.

investment objectives and programs, provided that the combination of (i) and (ii) shall not exceed 33⅓% of the value of the funds’ total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings) or such other percentage permitted by law. Any borrowings that come to exceed this amount will be reduced in accordance with applicable law. The funds may borrow from banks, other Price Funds, or other persons to the extent permitted by applicable law;

· Purchase or sell commodities, except to the extent permitted by applicable law;

· Issue senior securities except in compliance with the 1940 Act; and

The Funds are also subject to the following policies, each of which is explained in each Fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information:

· The Funds’ investments in foreign securities are limited to 20% of total assets. Subject to the overall limit on the Funds’ investments in foreign securities, there is no limit on the amount of foreign investments that may be made in emerging markets.

· The Funds’ investments in noninvestment-grade debt instruments, which could include “junk” bonds and loans, are limited to 10% of total assets. The Funds’ investments in convertible securities are not subject to this limit.

· The Funds’ investments in hybrid instruments are limited to 10% of total assets.

What are the main risks of investing in these two Funds?

Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Fund into Global Stock Fund

Active management risks The investment adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the Funds’ investments may prove to be incorrect. The Funds could underperform in comparison to other funds with a similar benchmark or similar objectives and investment strategies if the Funds’ overall investment selections or strategies fail to produce the intended results.

efficient trading markets, and the imposition of local taxes and restrictions on gaining access to the Funds’ investments. The United Kingdom’s exit from the EU (“Brexit”) may result in substantial volatility in foreign exchange markets and may lead to a sustained weakness in the British pound’s exchange rate against the United States dollar, the euro and other currencies, which may impact fund returns. In addition, China’s economy may be adversely impacted by trade or political disputes with China’s major trading partners, including the U.S., which may lead to significant volatility.

Investment style risks Different investment styles tend to shift into and out of favor depending on market conditions and investor sentiment. The Funds’ growth approach to investing could cause them to underperform other stock funds that employ a different investment style. Growth stocks tend to be more volatile than certain other types of stocks, and their prices may fluctuate more dramatically than the overall stock market. A stock with growth characteristics can have sharp price declines due to decreases in current or expected earnings and may lack dividends that can help cushion its share price in a declining market.

Market capitalization risks The Funds’ focus on large and medium-sized companies subjects the Funds to the risks that larger companies may not be able to attain the high growth rates of successful smaller companies, especially during strong economic periods, and that they may be less capable of responding quickly to competitive challenges and industry changes. Because the Funds focus on large and medium-sized companies, its share price could be more volatile than Funds that invest only in large companies. Medium-sized companies typically have less experienced management, narrower product lines, more limited financial resources, and less publicly available information than larger companies.

Sector concentration risks At times, the Funds may have a significant portion of their assets invested in securities of companies conducting business in a broadly related group of industries within an economic sector. Companies in the same economic sector may be similarly affected by economic or market events, making the fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in that economic sector than funds that invest more broadly. For example, the Funds may have a significant portion of their assets invested in securities of companies in the information technology sector. Companies in the information technology sector can be adversely affected by, among other things, intense competition, earnings disappointments, and rapid obsolescence of products and services due to technological innovations or changing consumer preferences.

International investing risks Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involves special risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. issuers. International securities tend to be more volatile and have lower overall liquidity than investments in U.S. securities and may lose value because of adverse local, political, social, or economic developments overseas, or due to changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. In addition, international investments are subject to settlement practices and regulatory and financial reporting standards that differ from those of the U.S. The United Kingdom’s exit from the EU (“Brexit”) may result in substantial volatility in foreign exchange markets and may lead to a sustained weakness in the British pound’s exchange rate against the United States dollar, the euro and other currencies, which may impact fund returns. In addition, China’s economy may be adversely impacted by trade or political disputes with China’s major trading partners, including the U.S., which may lead to significant volatility.

Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund into U.S. Equity Research Fund

Risks of U.S. stock investing Common stocks generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and may decline significantly over short time periods. There is a chance that stock prices overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising and falling prices. The value of a stock in which the funds invest may decline due to general weakness in the U.S. stock market, such as when the U.S. financial markets decline, or because of factors that affect a particular company or industry.

Market capitalization risks The Funds’ focus on large companies subjects the Funds to the risks that larger companies may not be able to attain the high growth rates of successful smaller companies, especially during strong economic periods, and that they may be less capable of responding quickly to competitive challenges and industry changes. Because the Funds may invest in companies of any size, their share price could be more volatile than funds that invest only in large companies. Small and medium-sized companies typically have less experienced management, narrower product lines, more limited financial resources, and less publicly available information than larger companies.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS

How has each Fund performed?

The following performance information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Funds. The Funds’ performance information represents only past

performance (before and after taxes) and is not necessarily an indication of future results.

The following bar charts illustrate how much returns can differ from year to year by showing calendar year returns and the best and worst calendar quarter returns during those years for each Fund or Class. Returns for other share classes of the Acquiring Funds vary since they have different expenses.

The Fund’s return for the six months ended 6/30/2019 was 21.33%.

The Fund’s return for the six months ended 6/30/2019 was 21.38%.

The Fund’s return for the six months ended 6/30/2019 was 21.15%.

The Fund’s return for the six months ended 6/30/2019 was 21.57%.

The Fund’s return for the six months ended 6/30/2019 was 19.58%.

The Fund’s return for the six months ended 6/30/2019 was 19.51%.

The following tables show the average annual total returns for each Fund or Class. Each table also compares the returns with the returns of a relevant broad-based market index, as well as with the returns of one or more comparative indexes that have investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund.

In addition, the tables show hypothetical after-tax returns to demonstrate how taxes paid by a shareholder may influence returns. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as a 401(k) account or an IRA. After-tax returns for the Acquiring Funds are shown only for the I Class and will differ for other share classes.

The performance of each Institutional Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund has been substantially similar over the periods for which they have both been in operation. Minor differences in Fund performance over the same period were primarily due to differences in fees and also due to slight differences in position sizes as each Fund sold securities to meet redemption requests or bought securities as the Fund gained assets. The differences in performance do not reflect a difference in strategy.

	(a)	At the level of ownership indicated, the shareholder may be able to determine the outcome of any matters affecting a fund or one of its classes that are submitted to shareholders for vote.

As of July 31, 2019, the executive officers and directors of the Funds, as a group, beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, less than 1% of its outstanding shares of each Fund, except for the Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Fund (4.50%).

Who are each Fund’s transfer agent and custodians?

T. Rowe Price Services, Inc., 100 East Pratt Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202, serves as the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Funds. State Street Bank and Trust Company, 225 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, or, in the case of securities maintained outside of the United States, JPMorgan Chase Bank, London, Woolgate House, Coleman Street, London, EC2P 2HD, England, are the custodians for the Funds.

Are the Funds required to hold annual meetings?

Under Maryland law, the Funds are not required to hold annual meetings. The Boards of the Funds have determined that the Funds will take advantage of this Maryland law provision to avoid the significant expense associated with holding annual meetings, including legal, accounting, printing, and mailing fees incurred in preparing proxy materials. Accordingly, no annual meetings of shareholders shall be held in any year in which a meeting is not otherwise required to be held under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or Maryland law, unless the Boards determine otherwise. However, special meetings of shareholders will be held in accordance with applicable law or when otherwise determined by a Fund’s Board.

Who pays for the costs involved with the Reorganizations?

Fees related to each Reorganization (including legal expenses, audit expenses, expenses related to printing and mailing the information statement, brokerage fees, taxes, and

nonrecurring extraordinary items) are estimated in the following table and will be paid for by the Funds since the Reorganizations are expected to benefit all shareholders. The sale of any assets that are not acceptable to an Acquiring Fund will result in additional brokerage expenses.


Funds	Estimated Reorganization Expenses	Estimated Transaction Costs*
Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Fund	$6,000	$2,000
Global Stock Fund	$14,000	$8,000
Total	$20,000	$10,000

Funds	Estimated Reorganization Expenses	Estimated Transaction Costs*
Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund	$13,000	$33,000
Global Growth Stock Fund	$11,000	$77,000
Total	$24,000	$110,000

* Includes estimated brokerage commissions and other transaction costs.


Funds	Estimated Reorganization Expenses	Estimated Transaction Costs*

U.S. Equity Research Fund	$7,000	$—
Total	$21,000	$—

* Includes estimated brokerage commissions and other transaction costs.

LEGAL MATTERS

Certain legal matters concerning the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization will be passed upon by Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, counsel to the Funds, and certain legal matters concerning the issuance of shares of the Funds will be passed upon by counsel to T. Rowe Price, which serves as sponsor and investment adviser of the Funds.

Exhibit A

AGREEMENTS AND PLANS OF REORGANIZATION

Agreement and Plan of Reorganization

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (“Agreement”) is made this 31st day of July, 2019, by and between (i) T. Rowe Price Institutional International Funds, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Maryland on behalf of its series, T. Rowe Price Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Fund (“Acquired Fund”), and (ii) T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Maryland on behalf of its series, T. Rowe Price Global Stock Fund (“Acquiring Fund”) and each of the Acquiring Fund’s classes, T. Rowe Price Global Stock Fund, T. Rowe Price Global Stock Fund—Advisor Class, and T. Rowe Price Global Stock Fund—I Class. All references in this Agreement to the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund are, as applicable, to the T. Rowe Price Global Stock Fund (including each of its classes) and the T. Rowe Price Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Fund, respectively, as if this Agreement were executed solely by each such fund.

W I T N E S S E T H:

The Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund are each series of an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”). The Acquired Fund owns securities that are assets of the character in which the Acquiring Fund is permitted to invest. The Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund have agreed to combine through the transfer of substantially all of the assets of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for shares of the T. Rowe Price Global Stock Fund—I Class (par value $0.01 per share) of the Acquiring Fund (“Acquiring Fund Shares”) and the distribution of Acquiring Fund Shares to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund in liquidation of the Acquired Fund. The Acquiring Fund wishes to enter into a definitive agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the foregoing transactions as a “plan of reorganization” and “liquidation” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Assets and Liabilities to be Transferred

assets (“Custodian”), or, in the case of securities maintained outside of the United States, JPMorgan Chase Bank, London (“Foreign Custodian”), if applicable, in exchange for and against delivery by the Acquiring Fund to the Acquired Fund on the Closing Date of a number of Acquiring Fund Shares (including, if applicable, fractional shares) having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the assets of the Acquired Fund so transferred, assigned and delivered, all determined and adjusted as provided in paragraph 1.B. below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the assets of the Acquired Fund to be acquired by the Acquiring Fund shall constitute at least 90% of the fair market value of the net assets of the Acquired Fund and at least 70% of the fair market value of the gross assets of the Acquired Fund as described on the “Valuation Date” (hereinafter defined).

B. Valuation. The net asset value of shares of the Acquiring Fund and the value of the assets of the Acquired Fund to be transferred shall, in each case, be computed as of the close of regular trading on the Exchange on the Valuation Date (as hereinafter defined). The net asset value of the Acquiring Fund Shares shall be computed in the manner set forth in the Acquiring Fund’s current prospectus and statement of additional information under the Securities Act of 1933 (“1933 Act”) and the 1940 Act. The value of the assets of the Acquired Fund to be transferred shall be computed by the Acquiring Fund in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Acquiring Fund as described in the Acquiring Fund’s current prospectus and statement of additional information under the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act, subject to review and approval by the Acquired Fund and to such adjustments, if any, agreed to by the parties.

C. Excludable Assets and Liabilities. The property and assets of the Acquired Fund to be acquired by the Acquiring Fund shall consist of all assets and property, including, without limitation, all rights, cash, securities, commodities and futures interests, forwards, swaps and other financial instruments, claims (whether absolute or contingent, known or unknown), receivables (including dividends, interest, principal, subscriptions and other receivables), goodwill and other intangible property, contractual rights and choses in action, copies of all books and records belonging to the Acquired Fund (including all books and records required to be maintained under the 1940 Act), any deferred or prepaid expenses shown as an asset on the books of the Acquired Fund on the Closing Date, and all interests, rights, privileges and powers, other than the Acquired Fund’s rights under this Agreement on the Valuation Date as defined in paragraph 2.B, excluding the estimated costs of extinguishing any Excluded Liability (as defined below) and cash in an amount necessary to pay any dividends pursuant to sub-paragraph 10.E (collectively, “Assets”). The Assets of the Acquired Fund shall be delivered to the Acquiring Fund free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, hypothecations and claims whatsoever, and there shall be no restrictions on the full transfer thereof. The Acquiring Fund shall assume only those liabilities, expenses, costs, charges and reserves reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities of the Acquired Fund prepared on behalf of the Acquired Fund, as of the Valuation Date, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied from the

prior audited period, except for the Acquired Fund’s Excluded Liabilities (as defined below), if any, pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, “Liabilities”). If prior to the Closing Date, the Acquiring Fund identifies a Liability that the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund mutually agree should not be assumed by the Acquiring Fund, such Liability shall be excluded from the definition of Liabilities hereunder and shall be listed on a Schedule of Excluded Liabilities to be signed by the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund at the Closing (the “Excluded Liabilities”).

2. Definitions

A. Closing and Closing Date. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall be conducted at the offices of the Acquiring Fund in Baltimore, Maryland, beginning at 8:00 a.m., eastern time, on November 25, 2019, or at such other place or on such later business day as may be agreed upon by the parties. In the event that on the Valuation Date (i) the Exchange is closed or trading thereon is restricted, or (ii) trading or the reporting of trading on the Exchange or elsewhere is disrupted so that accurate appraisal of the value of the Acquired Fund assets or the net asset value of the Acquiring Fund Shares is impractical, the Closing shall be postponed until the first business day after the first business day when trading on the Exchange or elsewhere shall have been fully resumed and reporting thereon shall have been restored, or such other business day as soon thereafter as may be agreed upon by the parties. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is herein referred to as the “Closing Date.”

B. Valuation Date. The business day next preceding the Closing Date shall be the “Valuation Date.” The stock transfer books of the Acquired Fund will be permanently closed as of the close of business on the Valuation Date. The Acquired Fund shall only accept redemption requests received by it in proper form prior to the close of regular trading on the Exchange on the Valuation Date. Redemption requests received thereafter shall be deemed to be redemption requests for Acquiring Fund shares to be distributed to Acquired Fund shareholders pursuant to the Plan (assuming that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been consummated).

C. Delivery. Portfolio securities shall be delivered by the Acquired Fund to the Custodian or the Foreign Custodian, to be held until the Closing for the account of the Acquired Fund, no later than three (3) business days preceding the Closing (“Delivery Date”), duly endorsed in proper form for transfer in such condition as to constitute a good delivery thereof, in accordance with the custom of brokers, and shall be accompanied by all necessary state stock transfer stamps, if any, or a check for the appropriate purchase price thereof. Cash of the Acquired Fund shall be delivered by the Acquired Fund on the Closing Date and shall be in the form of currency or wire transfer in federal funds, payable to the order of the Custodian or the Foreign Custodian. A confirmation for the Acquiring Fund Shares, credited to the account of the Acquired Fund and registered in the name of the Acquired Fund, shall be delivered by the Acquiring Fund to the Acquired Fund at the Closing.

3. Failure to Deliver Securities. If, on the Delivery Date, the Acquired Fund is unable to make delivery under paragraph 2.C. to the Custodian or the Foreign Custodian of any of the portfolio securities of the Acquired Fund, the Acquiring Fund may waive the delivery requirements of paragraph 2.C. with respect to said undelivered securities, if the Acquired Fund has delivered to the Custodian or the Foreign Custodian by or on the Delivery Date and, with respect to said undelivered securities, such documents in the form of executed copies of an agreement of assignment and escrow agreement and due bills and the like as may be required by the Acquiring Fund or the Custodian or the Foreign Custodian, including brokers’ confirmation slips.

4. Post-Closing Distribution and Liquidation of the Acquired Fund. As soon as practicable after the Closing, the Acquired Fund shall distribute all of the remaining assets thereof to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund. At, or as soon as may be practicable following the Closing Date, the Acquired Fund shall for federal income tax purposes be liquidated and distribute the Acquiring Fund Shares received hereunder by instructing the Acquiring Fund that the pro-rata interest (in full and fractional Acquiring Fund Shares) of each of the holders of record of shares of the Acquired Fund as of the close of business on the Valuation Date as certified by the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent (“Acquired Fund Record Holders”) be registered on the books of the T. Rowe Price Global Stock Fund—I Class in the names of each of the Acquired Fund Record Holders. The Acquiring Fund agrees to comply promptly with said instruction. All issued and outstanding shares of the Acquired Fund shall thereupon be redeemed for no value and canceled on the books of the Acquired Fund. The Acquiring Fund shall have no obligation to inquire as to the validity, propriety, or correctness of any such instruction, but shall, in each case, assume that such instruction is valid, proper, and correct. The Acquiring Fund shall record on its books the ownership of Acquiring Fund Shares by Acquired Fund Record Holders. No redemption or repurchase of any Acquiring Fund Shares credited to Acquired Fund Record Holders in respect of the Acquired Fund Shares represented by unsurrendered stock certificates shall be permitted until such certificates have been surrendered to the Custodian for cancellation. Any transfer taxes payable upon issuance of Acquiring Fund Shares in a name other than the name of the Acquired Fund Record Holder on the books of the Acquiring Fund as of the Closing Date shall, as a condition of such issuance and transfer, be paid by the person to whom such Acquiring Fund Shares are to be issued and transferred.

investments that the Acquiring Fund may not hold, the Acquired Fund will, consistent with the foregoing and its own policies and restrictions, use its reasonable efforts to dispose of such investments prior to the Closing Date, provided, however, that in no event will the Acquired Fund be required to dispose of assets to an extent which would cause less than 50% of the historical business assets of the Acquired Fund to be transferred to the Acquiring Fund pursuant to this Agreement or to take any action that is inconsistent with paragraph 8.M. below. In addition, if it is determined that the portfolios of the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund, when aggregated, would contain any investments exceeding certain percentage limitations applicable to the Acquiring Fund with respect to such investments, the Acquired Fund will, if requested by the Acquiring Fund, in a manner consistent with the foregoing and its own policies and restrictions, use its reasonable efforts to dispose of an amount of such investments sufficient to avoid violating such limitations as of the Closing Date. On the Delivery Date, the Acquired Fund shall deliver to the Acquiring Fund a list setting forth the securities then owned by the Acquired Fund (“Securities List”), which shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder for specific identification tax lot accounting and which shall clearly reflect the basis used for determination of gain and loss realized on the partial sale of any security transferred to the Acquiring Fund. The records from which the Securities List will be prepared shall be made available by the Acquired Fund prior to the Closing Date for inspection by the Acquiring Fund’s treasurer or his designee or the auditors of the Acquiring Fund upon reasonable request.

6. Expenses. Neither the Acquiring Fund nor the Acquired Fund shall be responsible for any expenses (other than brokerage, taxes, and any non-recurring extraordinary items) in connection with the carrying-out of this Agreement.

7. Legal Opinions.

A. Opinion of Acquired Fund Counsel. At the Closing, the Acquired Fund shall furnish the Acquiring Fund with such written opinions (including opinions as to certain federal income tax matters) of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, and the factual representations supporting such opinions which shall be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Acquiring Fund. The requirement to obtain this opinion may not be waived.

B. Opinion of Acquiring Fund Counsel. At the Closing, the Acquiring Fund shall furnish the Acquired Fund with a written opinion of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, and the factual representations supporting such opinions which shall be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Acquired Fund.

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (“Agreement”) is made this 31st day of July, 2019, by and between (i) T. Rowe Price Institutional International Funds, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Maryland on behalf of its series, T. Rowe Price Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund (“Acquired Fund”), and (ii) T.

W I T N E S S E T H:

The Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund are each series of an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”). The Acquired Fund owns securities that are assets of the character in which the Acquiring Fund is permitted to invest. The Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund have agreed to combine through the transfer of substantially all of the assets of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for shares of the T. Rowe Price Global Growth Stock Fund—I Class (par value $0.01 per share) of the Acquiring Fund (“Acquiring Fund Shares”) and the distribution of Acquiring Fund Shares to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund in liquidation of the Acquired Fund. The Acquiring Fund wishes to enter into a definitive agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the foregoing transactions as a “plan of reorganization” and “liquidation” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Assets and Liabilities to be Transferred

A. Reorganization. Prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“Exchange”) on the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), all the assets and liabilities of the Acquired Fund, net of appropriate reserves and those assets and liabilities described in paragraph 1.C. below, shall be delivered as provided in paragraph 2.C. to State Street Bank Corporation, custodian of the Acquiring Fund’s assets (“Custodian”), or, in the case of securities maintained outside of the United States, JPMorgan Chase Bank, London (“Foreign Custodian”), if applicable, in exchange for and against delivery by the Acquiring Fund to the Acquired Fund on the Closing Date of a number of Acquiring Fund Shares (including, if applicable, fractional

shares) having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the assets of the Acquired Fund so transferred, assigned and delivered, all determined and adjusted as provided in paragraph 1.B. below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the assets of the Acquired Fund to be acquired by the Acquiring Fund shall constitute at least 90% of the fair market value of the net assets of the Acquired Fund and at least 70% of the fair market value of the gross assets of the Acquired Fund as described on the “Valuation Date” (hereinafter defined).

Liability shall be excluded from the definition of Liabilities hereunder and shall be listed on a Schedule of Excluded Liabilities to be signed by the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund at the Closing (the “Excluded Liabilities”).

2. Definitions

securities, if the Acquired Fund has delivered to the Custodian or the Foreign Custodian by or on the Delivery Date and, with respect to said undelivered securities, such documents in the form of executed copies of an agreement of assignment and escrow agreement and due bills and the like as may be required by the Acquiring Fund or the Custodian or the Foreign Custodian, including brokers’ confirmation slips.

4. Post-Closing Distribution and Liquidation of the Acquired Fund. As soon as practicable after the Closing, the Acquired Fund shall distribute all of the remaining assets thereof to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund. At, or as soon as may be practicable following the Closing Date, the Acquired Fund shall for federal income tax purposes be liquidated and distribute the Acquiring Fund Shares received hereunder by instructing the Acquiring Fund that the pro-rata interest (in full and fractional Acquiring Fund Shares) of each of the holders of record of shares of the Acquired Fund as of the close of business on the Valuation Date as certified by the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent (“Acquired Fund Record Holders”) be registered on the books of the T. Rowe Price Global Growth Stock Fund—I Class in the names of each of the Acquired Fund Record Holders. The Acquiring Fund agrees to comply promptly with said instruction. All issued and outstanding shares of the Acquired Fund shall thereupon be redeemed for no value and canceled on the books of the Acquired Fund. The Acquiring Fund shall have no obligation to inquire as to the validity, propriety, or correctness of any such instruction, but shall, in each case, assume that such instruction is valid, proper, and correct. The Acquiring Fund shall record on its books the ownership of Acquiring Fund Shares by Acquired Fund Record Holders. No redemption or repurchase of any Acquiring Fund Shares credited to Acquired Fund Record Holders in respect of the Acquired Fund Shares represented by unsurrendered stock certificates shall be permitted until such certificates have been surrendered to the Custodian for cancellation. Any transfer taxes payable upon issuance of Acquiring Fund Shares in a name other than the name of the Acquired Fund Record Holder on the books of the Acquiring Fund as of the Closing Date shall, as a condition of such issuance and transfer, be paid by the person to whom such Acquiring Fund Shares are to be issued and transferred.

5. Acquired Fund Securities. The Acquired Fund has provided the Acquiring Fund with a list of all of the Acquired Fund’s portfolio investments as of the date of execution of this Agreement. The Acquired Fund may sell any of these investments and will confer with the Acquiring Fund with respect to investments for the Acquired Fund. The Acquiring Fund will, within a reasonable time prior to the Closing Date, furnish the Acquired Fund with a statement of the Acquiring Fund’s investment objectives, policies, and restrictions and a list of the investments, if any, on the list referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph 5 that do not conform to such objectives, policies, and restrictions. In the event that the Acquired Fund holds any investments that the Acquiring Fund may not hold, the Acquired Fund will, consistent with the foregoing and its own policies and restrictions, use its reasonable efforts to dispose of such investments prior to the Closing Date, provided, however, that in no event will the Acquired Fund be required to dispose of assets to an extent which would

cause less than 50% of the historical business assets of the Acquired Fund to be transferred to the Acquiring Fund pursuant to this Agreement or to take any action that is inconsistent with paragraph 8.M. below. In addition, if it is determined that the portfolios of the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund, when aggregated, would contain any investments exceeding certain percentage limitations applicable to the Acquiring Fund with respect to such investments, the Acquired Fund will, if requested by the Acquiring Fund, in a manner consistent with the foregoing and its own policies and restrictions, use its reasonable efforts to dispose of an amount of such investments sufficient to avoid violating such limitations as of the Closing Date. On the Delivery Date, the Acquired Fund shall deliver to the Acquiring Fund a list setting forth the securities then owned by the Acquired Fund (“Securities List”), which shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder for specific identification tax lot accounting and which shall clearly reflect the basis used for determination of gain and loss realized on the partial sale of any security transferred to the Acquiring Fund. The records from which the Securities List will be prepared shall be made available by the Acquired Fund prior to the Closing Date for inspection by the Acquiring Fund’s treasurer or his designee or the auditors of the Acquiring Fund upon reasonable request.

10. Certain Conditions.

A. Registration Statement and Information Statement/Prospectus. The Acquiring Fund will file a registration statement on Form N-14 with the Commission under the 1933 Act in order to register the Acquiring Fund Shares to be issued hereunder.

Agreement and Plan of Reorganization

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (“Agreement”) is made this 31st day of July, 2019, by and between (i) T. Rowe Price Institutional Equity Funds, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Maryland on behalf of its series, T. Rowe Price Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund (“Acquired Fund”), and (ii) T. Rowe Price U.S. Equity Research Fund, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Maryland on behalf of its series, T. Rowe Price U.S. Equity Research Fund (“Acquiring Fund”) and each of the Acquiring Fund’s classes, T. Rowe Price U.S. Equity Research Fund, T. Rowe Price U.S. Equity Research Fund—Advisor Class, T. Rowe Price U.S. Equity Research Fund—I Class, and T. Rowe Price U.S. Equity Research Fund—R Class. All references in this Agreement to the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund are, as applicable, to the T. Rowe Price U.S. Equity Research Fund (including each of its classes) and the T. Rowe Price U.S. Structured Research Equity Fund, respectively, as if this Agreement were executed solely by each such fund.

W I T N E S S E T H:

The Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund are each series of an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”). The Acquired Fund owns securities that are assets of the character in which the Acquiring Fund is permitted to invest. The Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund have agreed to combine through the transfer of substantially all of the assets of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for shares of the T. Rowe Price U.S. Equity Research Fund—I Class (par value $0.0001 per share) of the Acquiring Fund (“Acquiring Fund Shares”) and the distribution of Acquiring Fund Shares to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund in liquidation of the Acquired Fund. The Acquiring Fund wishes to enter into a definitive agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the foregoing transactions as a “plan of reorganization” and “liquidation” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Assets and Liabilities to be Transferred

101

Closing Date of a number of Acquiring Fund Shares (including, if applicable, fractional shares) having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the assets of the Acquired Fund so transferred, assigned and delivered, all determined and adjusted as provided in paragraph 1.B. below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the assets of the Acquired Fund to be acquired by the Acquiring Fund shall constitute at least 90% of the fair market value of the net assets of the Acquired Fund and at least 70% of the fair market value of the gross assets of the Acquired Fund as described on the “Valuation Date” (hereinafter defined).

102

Acquired Fund mutually agree should not be assumed by the Acquiring Fund, such Liability shall be excluded from the definition of Liabilities hereunder and shall be listed on a Schedule of Excluded Liabilities to be signed by the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund at the Closing (the “Excluded Liabilities”).

2. Definitions

A. Closing and Closing Date. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall be conducted at the offices of the Acquiring Fund in Baltimore, Maryland, beginning at 8:00 a.m., eastern time, on November 18, 2019, or at such other place or on such later business day as may be agreed upon by the parties. In the event that on the Valuation Date (i) the Exchange is closed or trading thereon is restricted, or (ii) trading or the reporting of trading on the Exchange or elsewhere is disrupted so that accurate appraisal of the value of the Acquired Fund assets or the net asset value of the Acquiring Fund Shares is impractical, the Closing shall be postponed until the first business day after the first business day when trading on the Exchange or elsewhere shall have been fully resumed and reporting thereon shall have been restored, or such other business day as soon thereafter as may be agreed upon by the parties. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is herein referred to as the “Closing Date.”

103

may waive the delivery requirements of paragraph 2.C. with respect to said undelivered securities, if the Acquired Fund has delivered to the Custodian or the Foreign Custodian by or on the Delivery Date and, with respect to said undelivered securities, such documents in the form of executed copies of an agreement of assignment and escrow agreement and due bills and the like as may be required by the Acquiring Fund or the Custodian or the Foreign Custodian, including brokers’ confirmation slips.

4. Post-Closing Distribution and Liquidation of the Acquired Fund. As soon as practicable after the Closing, the Acquired Fund shall distribute all of the remaining assets thereof to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund. At, or as soon as may be practicable following the Closing Date, the Acquired Fund shall for federal income tax purposes be liquidated and distribute the Acquiring Fund Shares received hereunder by instructing the Acquiring Fund that the pro-rata interest (in full and fractional Acquiring Fund Shares) of each of the holders of record of shares of the Acquired Fund as of the close of business on the Valuation Date as certified by the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent (“Acquired Fund Record Holders”) be registered on the books of the T. Rowe Price U.S. Equity Research Fund—I Class in the names of each of the Acquired Fund Record Holders. The Acquiring Fund agrees to comply promptly with said instruction. All issued and outstanding shares of the Acquired Fund shall thereupon be redeemed for no value and canceled on the books of the Acquired Fund. The Acquiring Fund shall have no obligation to inquire as to the validity, propriety, or correctness of any such instruction, but shall, in each case, assume that such instruction is valid, proper, and correct. The Acquiring Fund shall record on its books the ownership of Acquiring Fund Shares by Acquired Fund Record Holders. No redemption or repurchase of any Acquiring Fund Shares credited to Acquired Fund Record Holders in respect of the Acquired Fund Shares represented by unsurrendered stock certificates shall be permitted until such certificates have been surrendered to the Custodian for cancellation. Any transfer taxes payable upon issuance of Acquiring Fund Shares in a name other than the name of the Acquired Fund Record Holder on the books of the Acquiring Fund as of the Closing Date shall, as a condition of such issuance and transfer, be paid by the person to whom such Acquiring Fund Shares are to be issued and transferred.

104

event will the Acquired Fund be required to dispose of assets to an extent which would cause less than 50% of the historical business assets of the Acquired Fund to be transferred to the Acquiring Fund pursuant to this Agreement or to take any action that is inconsistent with paragraph 8.M. below. In addition, if it is determined that the portfolios of the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund, when aggregated, would contain any investments exceeding certain percentage limitations applicable to the Acquiring Fund with respect to such investments, the Acquired Fund will, if requested by the Acquiring Fund, in a manner consistent with the foregoing and its own policies and restrictions, use its reasonable efforts to dispose of an amount of such investments sufficient to avoid violating such limitations as of the Closing Date. On the Delivery Date, the Acquired Fund shall deliver to the Acquiring Fund a list setting forth the securities then owned by the Acquired Fund (“Securities List”), which shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder for specific identification tax lot accounting and which shall clearly reflect the basis used for determination of gain and loss realized on the partial sale of any security transferred to the Acquiring Fund. The records from which the Securities List will be prepared shall be made available by the Acquired Fund prior to the Closing Date for inspection by the Acquiring Fund’s treasurer or his designee or the auditors of the Acquiring Fund upon reasonable request.

7. Legal Opinions.

8. Acquired Fund Representations, Warranties, and Covenants. The Acquired Fund hereby represents and warrants to the Acquiring Fund, and covenants and agrees with the Acquiring Fund:

105

Rowe Price Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund (each, an “Institutional Fund” and together, the “Institutional Funds”) will be merged into a corresponding mutual fund advised by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (“T. Rowe Price”), the same investment adviser to each Institutional Fund, as set out in the table below under the heading “Acquiring Funds” (each, an “Acquiring Fund,” together, the “Acquiring Funds,” and collectively with the Institutional Funds, the “Funds”).

I. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE
INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS AND THE ACQUIRING FUNDS

The Statement of Additional Information for the Funds, dated September 17, 2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 17, 2019, is incorporated by reference.

The Statement of Additional Information for the Funds is available without charge through troweprice.com or by calling 1-800-541-5910.

II. PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The unaudited pro forma information set forth below as of the dates indicated is intended to present financial information as if the acquisitions of the T. Rowe Price Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund by the T. Rowe Price Global Growth Stock Fund and the T. Rowe Price Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund by the T. Rowe Price U.S. Equity Research Fund (prior to July 1, 2019, named the T. Rowe Price Capital Opportunity Fund) had been consummated at November 1, 2017 and January 1, 2018, respectively. The T. Rowe Price Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund and the T. Rowe Price Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund are each referred to herein as Acquired Fund; the T. Rowe Price Global Growth Stock Fund and the T. Rowe Price U.S. Equity Research Fund are each referred to herein as Acquiring Fund; and each of the resulting funds is referred to herein as “Combined Fund.” The unaudited pro forma financial information set forth below is for informational purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the financial condition that actually would have resulted if the Reorganizations had been consummated. The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Funds, which are available in each fund’s respective annual and semiannual shareholder reports.

As of August 15, 2019, the net asset value of T. Rowe Price Institutional Global Focused Growth Equity Fund was less than ten percent (10%) of T. Rowe Price Global Stock Fund; as such, pro forma financial statements are not included.

Note 1 — Reorganization

Each Reorganization would be accomplished by the transfer of substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for I Class shares of the Acquiring Fund and the distribution of such shares to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund, in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund followed by the termination of the Acquired Fund.

Each Reorganization will be accounted for as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes; therefore, no gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquired Fund, the Acquiring Fund, or their respective shareholders as a direct result of the Reorganization. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles

118

(“U.S. GAAP”), for financial reporting purposes, the historical cost basis of the investments received from the Acquired Fund will be carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the realized and unrealized gains and losses of the surviving fund (the Acquiring Fund) with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. Each Acquiring Fund is deemed to be the “accounting survivor” in connection with the applicable Reorganization. As a result, each Combined Fund will continue the performance history of the applicable Acquiring Fund after the closing of the applicable Reorganization.

The investment programs of each Acquired Fund are identical to that of the corresponding Acquiring Fund; over the past year each fund’s portfolio holdings have been similar in security type and asset weighting, and as of June 30, 2019, each Acquired Fund’s portfolio has consisted of substantially the same holdings as its corresponding Acquiring Fund. For the Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund, approximately 87% of the its holdings are anticipated to transfer to the corresponding Acquiring Fund, and the remaining 13% of the Acquired Fund’s portfolio will be sold and repurchased by the Acquiring Fund due to transfer of ownership restrictions in certain countries. For the Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund, substantially all of its portfolio holdings are anticipated to transfer to the corresponding Acquiring Fund.

The net assets of each Acquired Fund, Acquiring Fund, and the resulting Combined Fund as of the dates indicated are as follows:


As of date:	Acquired Fund	Acquiring Fund	Pro Forma Adjustments	Combined Fund
April 30, 2019	T. Rowe Price Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund	T. Rowe Price Global Growth Stock Fund
April 30, 2019	$212,858,000	$443,101,000	$(134,000)	$655,825,000

June 30, 2019	T. Rowe Price Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund	T. Rowe Price U.S. Equity Research Fund
June 30, 2019	$825,632,000	$784,932,000	$(21,000)	$1,610,543,000

Note 2 — Accounting Policies

No significant accounting policies will change as a result of the Reorganization, specifically policies regarding security valuation or compliance with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Acquiring Fund will be the accounting and performance survivor after the Reorganization. No significant changes to any contracts of the Acquiring Fund are expected as a result of the Reorganization.

Each of the Acquired Fund’s and Acquiring Fund’s financial instruments are valued and each class’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share is computed at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for

119

business. However, the NAV per share may be calculated at a time other than the normal close of the NYSE if trading on the NYSE is restricted, if the NYSE closes earlier, or as may be permitted by the SEC. The Acquired Fund’s and Acquiring Fund’s financial instruments are reported at fair value, which U.S. GAAP defines as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The T. Rowe Price Valuation Committee (the “Valuation Committee”) is an internal committee that has been delegated certain responsibilities by each of the Acquired Fund’s and Acquiring Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to ensure that financial instruments are appropriately priced at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the Investment Company Act of 1940. Subject to oversight by the Board, the Valuation Committee develops and oversees pricing-related policies and procedures and approves all fair value determinations. Specifically, the Valuation Committee establishes procedures to value securities; determines pricing techniques, sources, and persons eligible to effect fair value pricing actions; oversees the selection, services, and performance of pricing vendors; oversees valuation-related business continuity practices; and provides guidance on internal controls and valuation-related matters. The Valuation Committee reports to the Board and has representation from legal, portfolio management and trading, operations, risk management, and the Acquired Funds’ and Acquiring Funds’ treasurer. These policies will not change as a result of the Reorganization.

Note 3 — Pro Forma Expense Adjustments

The tables below reflect adjustments to expenses made to each of the Combined Funds’ financial information. The information for Reorganization of the Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund into the Global Growth Stock Fund is for the six months ended April 30, 2019, and for the year ended October 31, 2018, as if the Reorganization had been in effect on November 1, 2017, using the fees and expenses information of the Acquiring Fund shown in the Information Statement/Prospectus and the actual fees and expenses of the Acquired Fund. The information for Reorganization of the Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund into the U.S. Equity Research Fund is for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and for the year ended December 31, 2018, as if the Reorganization had been in effect on January 1, 2018, using the fees and expenses information of the Acquiring Fund shown in the Information Statement/Prospectus and the actual fees and expenses of the Acquired Fund. The pro forma information has been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect this information. Actual results could differ from those estimates. No other significant pro forma effects are expected to result from each of the Reorganizations.

The Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Funds are each managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (“Price Associates”). For its services, Price Associates receives an annual investment management fee of 0.65% of average daily net assets from the Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund and an annual investment management fee of 0.64% (comprising an individual fee of 0.35%, and a group fee, which was 0.29% as of April 30, 2019) of average daily net assets from the Global Growth Stock Fund. For its

120

services, Price Associates receives an annual investment management fee of 0.33% of average daily net assets from the Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund and an annual investment management fee of 0.33% (comprising an individual fee of 0.04% and a group fee, which was 0.29% as of June 30, 2019) of average daily net assets from the U.S. Equity Research Fund. Prior to June 1, 2019, the Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund paid an annual investment management fee of 0.50% and the U.S. Equity Research Fund paid an annual investment management fee of 0.49% (comprised of an individual fee of 0.20% and a group fee, which was 0.29% as of June 30, 2019) to Price Associates for its services. Effective June 1, 2019, the Investor Class of the Acquiring Fund implemented a class level expense limitation of 0.50%. Prior to the Reorganization, the operating expense limit of 0.05% on the I Class in the U.S. Equity Research Fund will be reduced to 0.04% (through April 30, 2022) effective November 1, 2019.

In addition, the funds have entered into service agreements with Price Associates and two wholly owned subsidiaries of Price Associates. Price Associates provides certain accounting and administrative services; T. Rowe Price Services, Inc. provides shareholder and administrative services in its capacity as the funds’ transfer and dividend-disbursing agent; and T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. provides subaccounting and recordkeeping services for certain retirement accounts invested in the funds. There is no anticipated change to such fees as a result of the Reorganization and, therefore, these expenses are not reflected in the pro forma information presented below.

1 Reflects the impact of a reduction of investment management fees in the Acquiring Fund from 0.49% to 0.33% and applying to the Combined Fund’s average net assets.

2 Reflects the impact of expenses that are based on a per fund charge that were included in the expenses of the Acquired Fund which would not be assessed in the Combined Fund.

3 Reflects the impact of the Combined Fund’s estimated 24f-2 fee increase related to the acquired assets from the Acquired Fund.

4 Reflects the net effect of a decrease in amounts waived by Price Associates on the I Class under its operating expense limit and additional expenses waived by Price Associates on the Investor Class of the Acquiring Fund based on an expense limitation of 0.50%, had these limitation changes been in effect as of January 1, 2018. These changes were approved by the Acquiring Fund’s Board of Directors in contemplation of the Reorganization and are expected to have a continuing impact on the Combined Fund. These expense limitation agreements will continue until at least April 30, 2021 and may be terminated only with approval of the fund’s Board of Directors. Fees waived and expenses paid under these agreements are subject to reimbursement to Price Associates by the fund whenever the Investor Class’ expense ratio is below 0.50% or the I Class’ operating expense ratio is below 0.05%. However, no reimbursement will be made more than three years from the date such amounts were initially waived or reimbursed. The fund may only make repayments to Price Associates, if such repayment does not cause the respective class’ expense ratio (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed the lesser of: (1) the expense limitation in place at the time such amounts were waived; or (2) the class’ current expense limitation.

Note 4 — Reorganization Costs

Each Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund shall be allocated its own fees and expenses associated with the proposed reorganization, including professional fees and expenses associated with the printing and mailing of the Information Statement. Price Associates estimates that expenses for the Reorganizations will be approximately as follows: for the Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund into the Global Growth Stock Fund, $13,000 and $11,000, respectively; and for the Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund into the U.S. Equity Research Fund, $14,000 and $7,000, respectively. These costs represent management’s estimate of professional services fees, and any printing costs and mailing charges related to each of the Reorganizations. In connection with the Reorganization, the Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund and the Global Growth Stock Fund will incur stamp tax and transaction charges as a result of ownership transfer of securities. Based on the current composition of the portfolio holdings, the stamp and transaction costs are estimated to be approximately $33,000

122

and $77,000 for the Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund and the Global Growth Stock Fund, respectively. These fees will be added to the cost basis of the securities acquired and are not a part of the expense ratio of the Acquiring Fund; and, therefore, are not subject to expense limitation arrangements.

Note 5 — Capital Loss Carryforwards

As of October 31, 2018, the Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund and Global Growth Stock Fund has no capital loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2018, the Institutional U.S. Structured Research Fund and U.S. Equity Research Fund had $0 and $269,000, respectively, in unused capital loss carryforwards. The reorganization is not expected to impact the use of the U.S. Equity Research Fund’s capital loss carryforwards. The capital loss carryforwards may change significantly between now and the Closing Date and the ability to use such losses, if any, (even in the absence of the Reorganization) depends on certain factors such as the future realization of capital gains or losses. Additionally, the amount of capital losses that can be carried forward and used in any single year may be limited if a fund experiences an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

PART C

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 15. Indemnification

The Registrant maintains comprehensive Errors and Omissions and Officers and Directors insurance policies written by ICI Mutual. These policies provide coverage for T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (“Manager”), and its subsidiaries and affiliates and all other investment companies in the T. Rowe Price family of mutual funds as listed in Item 31 of the Registrant’s Registration Statement filed as Amendment No. 39 dated April 29, 2019. In addition to the corporate insureds, the policies also cover the officers, directors, and employees of the Manager, its subsidiaries, and affiliates. The premium is allocated among the named corporate insureds in accordance with the provisions of Rule 17d-1(d)(7) under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

General. The Charter of the Corporation provides that to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland or federal law, no director or officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or the holders of Shares for money damages and each director and officer shall be indemnified by the Corporation; provided, however, that nothing therein shall be deemed to protect any director or officer of the Corporation against any liability to the Corporation of the holders of Shares to which such director or officer 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.

Article X, Section 10.01 of the Registrant’s By-Laws provides as follows:

Section 10.01. Indemnification and Payment of Expenses in Advance: The Corporation shall indemnify any individual (“Indemnitee”) who is a present or former director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or who is or has been serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, who, by reason of his position was, is, or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (hereinafter collectively referred to as a “Proceeding”) against any judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding, to the fullest extent that such indemnification may be lawful under Maryland law. The Corporation shall pay any reasonable expenses so incurred by such Indemnitee in defending a Proceeding in advance of the final disposition thereof to the fullest extent that such advance payment may be lawful under Maryland law. Subject to any applicable limitations and requirements set forth in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation and in these By-Laws, any payment of indemnification or advance of expenses shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Maryland law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall protect or purport to protect any Indemnitee against any liability to which he 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 office (“Disabling Conduct”).

Anything in this Article X to the contrary notwithstanding, no indemnification shall be made by the Corporation to any Indemnitee unless:

(a) there is a final decision on the merits by a court or other body before whom the Proceeding was brought that the Indemnitee was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct; or

(b) in the absence of such a decision, there is a reasonable determination, based upon a review of the facts, that the Indemnitee was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct, which determination shall be made by:

(i) the vote of a majority of a quorum of directors who are neither “interested persons” of the Corporation as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act, nor parties to the Proceeding; or

(ii) an independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

Anything in this Article X to the contrary notwithstanding, any advance of expenses by the Corporation to any Indemnitee shall be made only upon the undertaking by such Indemnitee to repay the advance unless it is ultimately determined that such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification as above provided, and only if one of the following conditions is met:

(a) the Indemnitee provides a security for his undertaking; or

(b) the Corporation shall be insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful advances; or

Page 2

(c) there is a determination, based on a review of readily available facts, that there is reason to believe that the Indemnitee will ultimately be found entitled to indemnification, which determination shall be made by:

(i) a majority of a quorum of directors who are neither “interested persons” of the Corporation as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act, nor parties to the Proceeding; or

(ii) an independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

Section 10.02. Insurance of Officers, Directors, Employees, and Agents. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Maryland law and by Section 17(h) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as from time to time amended, the Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in or arising out of his position, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
