street name” for the benefit of their
customers and clients will request the instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares on the applicable proposals before the Special Meeting. Each Fund expects that broker-dealer firms holding shares of the Fund in
“street name” for their customers will not be permitted by NYSE rules to vote on the applicable proposals on behalf of their customers and beneficial owners in the absence of voting instructions from their customers and beneficial
owners. Accordingly, each Fund does not expect to receive any “broker non-votes.” Broker non-votes occur when shares are held by brokers
or nominees for which proxies have been returned but (a) voting instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote, (b) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power or elects not to
exercise discretion on a particular matter and (c) the shares are present at the meeting.We urge you to instruct your broker or other nominee to vote your shares.

If you hold your shares directly (not through a broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution) and if you return a properly executed
proxy card that does not specify how you wish to vote on a proposal, your shares will be voted “FOR” each proposal on which you are entitled to vote.

If you hold shares of a Fund through a bank or other financial institution or intermediary (called a service agent) that has entered into a
service agreement with the Fund or a distributor of the Fund, the service agent may be the record holder of your shares. At the Special Meeting, a service agent will vote shares for which it receives instructions from its customers in accordance
with those instructions. A properly executed proxy card or other authorization by a shareholder that does not specify how the shareholder’s shares should be voted on a proposal may be deemed to authorize a service provider to vote such shares
in favor of the proposal. Depending on its policies, applicable law or contractual or other restrictions, a service agent may be permitted to vote shares with respect to which it has not received specific voting instructions from its customers. In
those cases, the service agent may, but may not be required to, vote such shares in the same proportion as those shares for which the service agent has received voting instructions. This practice is commonly referred to as “echo voting.”

All properly executed proxies received prior to the Special Meeting will be voted in accordance with the instructions marked thereon or
otherwise as provided therein. Unless instructions to the contrary are marked, proxies will be voted “FOR
