The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of each of the above registered investment companies, each a Massachusetts business trust (collectively, the "Funds"), will be held in a hybrid format at the principal office of each Fund, Two International Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02110 and telephonically, on Thursday, August 11, 2022 at 11:30 a.m. (Eastern Time), for the following purposes:

  2. To consider and act upon any other matters that may properly come before the meeting and any adjourned or postponed session thereof.

Although each Fund is holding a separate meeting, the meetings will be held concurrently. Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately. Any such vote FOR or AGAINST a proposal will also authorize the persons named as proxies to vote accordingly FOR or AGAINST any such adjournment of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

The Board of Trustees of each Fund (the "Board") has fixed the close of business on May 31, 2022 as the record date for the determination of the shareholders of a Fund entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. As part of our effort to maintain a safe and healthy environment at our Annual Meeting, we are pleased to offer our shareholders a hybrid meeting format. Subject to certain requirements discussed herein, shareholders may attend the Annual Meeting in person or telephonically.

If, as of May 31, 2022, you were a holder of record of Fund shares (i.e., you held Fund shares in your own name directly with the Fund) and you would like to be provided with the conference call dial-in information to participate in the Annual Meeting, you should email your full name and address to AST Fund Solutions, LLC ("AST") at attendameeting@astfinancial.com and include the Fund name(s) in the subject line. You will then be provided with the conference call dial-in information and instructions for voting during the Annual Meeting. All requests to participate in the Annual Meeting telephonically must be received by AST no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 10, 2022.

If you are a record holder of Fund shares and plan to attend the Annual Meeting in person, you must show a valid photo identification (such as a driver's license) and attest, in writing, that you have been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) to gain admission to the Annual Meeting. Please call 1-800-262-1122 for information on how to obtain directions to be able to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting.

If, as of May 31, 2022, you held Fund shares through an intermediary (such as a broker-dealer) and wish to participate in and vote at the Annual Meeting, you will need to obtain a legal proxy from your intermediary reflecting the Fund name, the number of Fund shares you held and your name and email address. If you would like to be provided with the conference call dial-in information and instructions for voting during the Annual Meeting, you may forward an email from your intermediary containing the legal proxy or attach an image of the legal proxy to an email and send it to AST at attendameeting@astfinancial.com with "Legal Proxy" in the subject line. You will then be provided with the conference call dial-in information and instructions for voting during the Meeting. All requests to participate in the Annual Meeting telephonically must be received by AST no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 10, 2022.

If you hold Fund shares through an intermediary and plan to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting in person, you will be required to show a valid photo identification, your authority to vote your shares (referred to as a "legal proxy") and attest, in writing, that you have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to gain admission to the Annual Meeting. As described above, you must contact your intermediary to obtain a legal proxy for your shares.

All shareholders may contact AST at attendameeting@astfinancial.com with any questions regarding how to attend the Annual Meeting telephonically, and an AST representative will contact you to answer your questions.

The Funds and the Board are closely monitoring developments with respect to COVID-19 and the advice and guidance of public health officials. For that reason, the Board reserves the right to reconsider the date, time and/or means of convening the Annual Meeting. Subject to any restrictions imposed by applicable law, the Board may choose to conduct the meeting solely by means of remote communications. If the Board chooses to change the date, time and/or means of convening the Annual Meeting, the Fund will announce the decision to do so in advance, and details on how to participate will be issued by press release and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as additional proxy material. Attendees are also encouraged to review guidance from public health authorities on this issue.

By Order of each Board of Trustees

Each Fund will vote separately on each item; votes of multiple Funds will not be aggregated.

According to filings made on Schedules 13D and 13G pursuant to Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, one or more shareholders of a Fund owns 5% or more of the Fund's Common Shares and/or APS. Information relating to such shareholders can be found on Exhibit C. As of May 31, 2022, to each Fund's knowledge: (i) no other shareholder owned more than 5% of the outstanding shares of a Class of the Fund; and (ii) the Trustees and officers of the Fund, individually and as a group, owned beneficially less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

Shareholders as of the close of business on the record date, who have voting power with respect to such shares, are entitled to attend and vote at the meeting. All properly executed proxies received prior to the meeting will be voted at the meeting. Each proxy will be voted in accordance with its instructions; if no instruction is given, an executed proxy will authorize the persons named on the respective proxy card enclosed as proxies, or any of them, to vote FOR the election of each Trustee. An executed proxy delivered to a Fund is revocable by the person giving it, prior to its exercise, by a signed writing filed with the Fund's Secretary, by executing and delivering a later dated proxy, or by attending the meeting and voting the shares at the meeting. Merely attending the meeting will not revoke a previously executed proxy. If you hold Fund shares through an intermediary (such as a broker, bank, adviser or custodian), please consult with the intermediary regarding your ability to revoke voting instructions after they have been provided.

We are pleased to offer our shareholders a hybrid meeting format. Subject to certain requirements discussed herein, shareholders may attend the Annual Meeting in person or telephonically.
