Internet Delivery of Fund Reports Unless You Request Paper Copies: Effective
January 1, 2021, as permitted by the SEC, paper copies of the Fund’s shareholder
reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request them from the
Fund or your financial intermediary. Instead, the reports will be made available on a
website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided
with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be
affected by this change and you need not take any action. If you have not signed
up for electronic delivery, we would encourage you to join fellow shareholders who
have. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications
electronically from the Fund by calling (800) 632‑2301 or by contacting your
financial intermediary.
You may elect to continue to receive paper copies of all your future shareholder
reports free of charge by contacting your financial intermediary or, if you invest
directly with a Fund, calling (800) 632‑230
