December 10, 2020

This document is an Information Statement for shareholders of all series (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) of GuideStone Funds (the “Trust”). GuideStone Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser to the Funds and is located at 5005 Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway, Suite 2200, Dallas, Texas 75244-6152. The Funds’ principal underwriter is Foreside Funds Distributors LLC, whose principal office is located at 400 Berwyn Park, 899 Cassatt Road, Suite 110, Berwyn, Pennsylvania 19312. BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. serves as the Funds’ transfer agent and is located at 760 Moore Road, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406. The Northern Trust Company serves as the Funds’ administration and fund accounting agent and is located at 333 South Wabash Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60604. This Information Statement will be mailed on or about December 10, 2020, to the shareholders of record of each Fund as of November 30, 2020 (the “Record Date”).

The Trust has obtained the written consent, in lieu of holding a vote at a shareholder meeting, to amend the Trust’s Amended and Restated Trust Instrument (the “Trust Instrument”) and the Trust’s By-laws (the “By-laws”), effective October 1, 2020. As described in the Funds’ prospectus, GuideStone Financial Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention (“GuideStone Financial Resources”) at all times directly or indirectly owns, controls or holds with power to vote of at least 60% of the outstanding shares of the Trust. The Funds will refuse to accept any investment that would result in a change of such control. In addition, GuideStone Financial Resources, as of the date of its approval, directly or indirectly owned, controlled or held with power to vote of at least 60% of each Fund’s shares. This means that GuideStone Financial Resources, which is an affiliate of the Adviser, controls the vote on any matter that requires the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Trust. Therefore, in accordance with the Trust’s governing documents, the amendments to the Trust Instrument and By-laws have been approved by shareholders.

I.

All Funds: Amendments to the Amended and Restated Trust Instrument

 

  A.

Overview

Pursuant to Article VI, Section 1 and Article XI, Section 7 of the Trust Instrument, shareholder approval, by vote of the majority of the outstanding shares of the Trust, is required to amend the Trust Instrument. On September 28, 2020, GuideStone Financial Resources, the majority shareholder of the Trust, approved changes to the Trust Instrument by written consent.

 

  B.

Summary of Amendments to the Amended and Restated Trust Instrument

Article II, which governs the Board, is amended to clarify that the Board may, without a vote of a majority of the outstanding of shares of the Trust, fix the number of Trustees. The amendments to Article II also state that the number of Trustees at all times shall remain at least five and also give the Trustees expanded rights to delegate to others.

Article VI, which governs shareholders’ voting powers and meetings, is amended to change quorum requirements for taking action at a shareholder meeting from 50% of outstanding shares entitled to vote in person to more than 50% of outstanding shares as of the record date. The amendments to Article VI also allow for shareholder votes by proxy.

Article IX, which governs limitation of liability and indemnification, is amended to reorganize the description of limitations of liability for Trustees and to extend personal liability protection to Trustees. The amendments to Article IX also increase the indemnification protections of Trustees and other Covered Persons, as the term “Covered Person” is defined in the Trust Instrument, to the fullest extent permitted by law. The amendments to Article IX also clarify that a Covered Person (including a Trustee) is entitled to indemnification after ceasing to be a Covered Person.

Article XI, which governs miscellaneous matters, is amended to fully protect a Trustee who relies on an expert in good faith and also states that Trustees shall be held to the same standard of care, rights and entitlements to indemnification or the advancement of expenses regardless of appointment, designation or identification as chair of the Trustees, member or chair of a committee of the independent Trustees, lead independent Trustee or any other special appointment, designation or identification. The amendments to Article XI also provide that any series of the Trust or any class of shares may be terminated at any time by the Trustees without shareholder approval. The amendments to Article XI further state that any amendment will not limit the rights to insurance, indemnification and advancement provided by the Trust Instrument with respect to acts or omissions of Covered Persons, including Trustees, that occurred prior to such an amendment.

Further, the amendments to the Trust Instrument amend the placement of items within the Trust Instrument as well as move certain items into the By-laws.

  C.

Summary of Amendments to the By-laws

Article II, which governs meetings of the Board, adds a new section that provides flexibility to the Trustees on the quorum necessary to take action, specifically by providing that the presence of the lesser of three Trustees, or a majority of the number of Trustees then in office (without regard to vacancies), shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The amendments to Article II also add a new section describing the Board’s role in designating committees and in appointing the members of and determining the number of members of each committee. The amendments to Article II also move provisions regarding meetings via telephone or videoconference, waiver of notice and action without a meeting from the Trust Instrument to the By-laws.

Article VI, which governs amendments to the By-laws, provides that the By-laws may be amended by the Trustees, and that no shareholder vote shall be required for any amendment. In addition, GuideStone Financial Resources, as the holder of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Trust, retains its authority to unilaterally amend the By-laws, subject to the provision of notice to the Trustees.
