Inactive Accounts and Risk of Escheatment In accordance with state “unclaimed property” laws, your Fund shares may legally be considered abandoned and required to be transferred to the relevant state (also known as “escheatment”) under various circumstances. These circumstances, which vary by state, can include inactivity (e.g., no owner-initiated contact for a certain period), returned mail (e.g., when mail sent to a shareholder is returned by the post office as undeliverable), uncashed checks or a combination of these. An incorrect address may cause a shareholder’s account statements and other mailings to be returned to the Fund or your financial intermediary. Since states’ statutory requirements regarding inactivity differ, it is important to regularly contact your financial intermediary or the Fund’s transfer agent. The process described above, and the application of state escheatment laws, may vary by state and/or depending on how shareholders hold their shares in the Fund. Escheatment with respect to a retirement account is subject to a 10% federal withholding on the account. It is your responsibility to ensure that you maintain a valid mailing address for your account, keep your account active by contacting your financial intermediary or the Fund’s transfer agent (e.g., by mail or telephone), and promptly cash all checks for dividends, capital gains and redemptions
