Fellow Shareowner,

**We urgently request your voting action.**

Recently, we sent you proxy material regarding a meeting of shareowners scheduled for January 10, 2023, for Sextant International Fund. Your shareowner meeting has been adjourned due to insufficient participation. This meeting will be reconvened on Monday, February 6, 2023, at 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time (4:00 p.m. Eastern Time).

The Proposal in the proxy material concerns the removal of the performance fee adjustment and requires an absolute majority to meet quorum. We are asking shareowners that have not voted their proxies, to participate by voting as soon as possible.

**Voting your shares** is fast and easy. If you have questions or need assistance, **call 877-728-5037** and a proxy specialist will help you.
