C.

Change to Prospectus and SAI -- Share Class Conversions

               

As of August 1, 2016, the Funds began offering Class I shares pursuant to a separate prospectus and statement of additional information dated August 1, 2016.  In connection with the offering of Class I shares, the Prospectus and SAI are modified to reflect that shares of one class of a Fund may be converted to shares of another class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of the Funds available or that cannot systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details. Any contingent deferred sales charge associated with the shares being converted will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion for shares of the new share class.  The conversion of shares of one class of a Fund to shares of another class of the same Fund may or may not be considered a taxable event for federal income tax purposes; please consult your own tax advisor for further information. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.  Fees and expenses differ between share classes. You should read the prospectus for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.  Share class conversions are made upon receipt of a properly completed request form or letter of instruction. Alternatively, you may request share class conversions by telephone by calling Integrity Fund Services, LLC at 800-601-5593. The conversion right may be changed or discontinued at any time upon 60 days’ notice to shareholders.
