Subject to the above, each of VGI’s and ZTR’s Bylaws provide that if a shareholder of record entitled to vote desires to bring proposals (including Trustee nominations) before the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2026, written notice of such proposals as prescribed in the Bylaws must be received by the Fund’s Secretary, in care of the Fund(s), at 101 Munson Street, Greenfield, MA 01301-9668, between November 16, 2025, and 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 16, 2025.

However, if any other matters not now known properly come before the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to vote such proxy in accordance with their judgment on such matters.
