The initial results from the special meeting of shareholders for ClearBridge Large Cap Growth Fund that was held on April 7, 2026, were overwhelmingly positive; however, there was not enough shareholder participation to meet the necessary vote required under applicable law. Due to this, the **shareholder meeting has been adjourned and will reconvene on May 14, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. ET**.

**What this means for fund shareholders** 

No action is necessary for shareholders that have already voted and they won't be contacted by EQ Fund Solutions (EQFS), the fund's proxy solicitor. For shareholders that have yet to vote, they will receive a letter from EQFS and EQFS will begin solicitation calls shortly after that letter is mailed later this week.

**Proposed changes to the fund** 

ClearBridge Large Cap Growth Fund is soliciting shareholder approval of two changes to the fund. These changes and proxy details are covered below.

**Proposal to change the fund's classification** 

ClearBridge Large Cap Growth Fund's Board of Trustees has approved changing the fund's classification from diversified to non-diversified. Generally, a non-diversified fund may invest a larger percentage of its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. To the extent the fund invests a larger percentage of its assets in a smaller number of issuers, it will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those issuers. This change is subject to shareholder approval.

**Proposal to authorize the fund to rely on a Manager of Managers Order** 

There is also a proposal that would enable the fund's manager, with the approval of the fund's Board of Trustees, to enter into and materially amend subadvisory contracts without shareholder approval in reliance on an exemptive order previously granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. This change is subject to shareholder approval.

**Proxy information** 

Shareholders of record as of January 21, 2026, were mailed a proxy statement and proxy card on Monday, February 2, 2026. The shareholder meeting has been adjourned and will reconvene on May 14, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. ET.

Financial professionals with clients invested in the fund will receive an email about the adjournment this Friday, April 10.
