If you do not return the enclosed Voting Instruction Form, we will not be permitted to count any of your Participants' votes. Please read the enclosed proxy statement carefully. It discusses the proposals in detail. While you are welcome to attend the meeting, most contract owners provide voting instructions by completing and returning the enclosed card.
