In addition, effective January 1, 2012, any reference to Class A shares not being subject to a Rule 12b-1/distribution plan or fee in the SAI, including in the following sections of the SAI of each of the Trust's Portfolios, are hereby deleted in their entirety and all references to the distribution arrangements of Class A shares are hereby amended to include, and should be read to include, a Rule 12b-1/distribution plan and fee: "Investment Management and Other Services – The Manager," "Investment Management and Other Services – The Distributor," and "Other Information – Classes of Shares."
