Subject: Update on Diamond Hill Proxy Solicitation

Dear TESTFirstName,

As part of our firm's upcoming acquisition, we recently filed a proxy statement for the Diamond Hill Funds.

We have engaged Sodali & Co. as our proxy solicitor, and they have been reaching out to shareholders who have not yet voted via telephone, email and mailed materials.

I've attached <u>suggested language</u> you may share with your clients that explains the <u>proxy vote</u>, why it is required and how to submit their vote.

Please let me know if you have any questions, or if there's anything we can do on our end to help this go as smoothly as possible.

Thank you for your continued partnership.

I want to raise what we are seeing in the proxy records for your accounts. For at least a portion of your shares, they are showing up under a "master account". This means proxy materials are being sent to the firm rather than to each underlying client.

In this structure, underlying clients are not made aware of the proxy, do not receive proxy materials and are not able to vote their shares directly. Instead, any voting for these shares would need to be handled at the firm level.

We've found this is not always how some firms expect the process to work, so we wanted to share this context and see if you are able to assist in <u>submitting the vote</u> for your firm's master account shares.
