#### A note on shareholder proposals
Shareholder Proposals are often company specific making a one-size fits all approach to voting suboptimal. For that reason, shareholder proposals are escalated to the active investment teams for case-by-case analysis and decision making. Voting decisions are made by weighing the financial materiality of the proposal against any opposing rationale from company management, with the ultimate determination driven by the economic best interest of shareholders. While votes are generally cast consistently across the investment teams, there may be situations where portfolio managers holding the same security disagree on what is in the best interests of their shareholders.

#### Passive strategy voting
Our passively managed strategies follow the same voting philosophy as our actively managed strategies. In the absence of a determination by our active investment teams, our passive strategies will typically vote in alignment with management. We think managements and boards of directors should have comprehensive insights into the company's long-term strategy and operations. This insight puts them in a sound position to determine the financial materiality of proposals and their alignment with the economic interest of shareholders in the absence of an evaluation by our active teams.

We execute this philosophy through our Proxy Voting Guidelines as overseen by our Proxy Voting committee. Strategies are aligned to one of our custom Guidelines - Base, Sustainable and Board Aligned. We provide clients with transparency into our voting history and rationale via our interactive website. In most strategies, clients may also choose to vote their own shares or request a custom set of vote guidelines aligning with their own specific requirements.
