Additionally, Target Fund shareholders will not incur any sales loads or similar transaction charges as a result of the Merger.

The Merger, if all conditions to closing are satisfied, is expected to occur in September 2021. Prior to the Merger, shareholders of the Target Fund may continue to purchase and redeem shares subject to the limitations described in the Target Fund’s prospectuses.

No shareholder action is necessary. Additional information, including a description of the Merger and information about fees, expenses and risk factors, will be provided to Target Fund shareholders in a prospectus/information statement that is expected to be mailed to shareholders in July 2021.
