On September 23, 2025, the Trust notified shareholders by supplement that Class C and Class C1 Shares of the Fund would no longer be available for purchase as of January 21, 2026 by new or existing shareholders, except by existing shareholders through Qualifying Transactions (as defined in that supplement).
