The amount and timing of any repurchases under each Fund’s Repurchase Program will be determined at the discretion of the Fund’s management. There is no assurance that any Fund will repurchase shares in any particular amounts. A Fund’s repurchase activity will be disclosed in its shareholder report for the relevant fiscal period. Any repurchases made under any Fund Repurchase Program will be made on a national security exchange at the prevailing market price, subject to exchange requirements and certain volume and timing limitations and other regulations under federal securities laws. Repurchases will not commence for a Fund until after all the required elements of the Repurchase Program for that Fund have been finalized and have become effective.
