After the close of business on September 6, 2017, the Funds will no longer accept creation orders from Authorized Participants. It is expected that September 6, 2017 will be each Fund’s last full day of trading on NYSE Arca. Shareholders may sell their shares of a Fund (subject to any applicable brokerage or transaction costs) until the market close on September 6, 2017. Trading in each Fund will be suspended prior to market open on September 7, 2017.

From September 7, 2017 through September 14, 2017 (the expected “Distribution Date”), shares of each Fund will not be traded on NYSE Arca and there will not be a secondary market for the Funds’ shares. On or about September 5, 2017, each Fund will begin the process of liquidating its portfolio and will not be managed in accordance with its investment objective or engage in normal business activities, except for the purposes of winding up its business and affairs, preserving the value of its assets, paying its liabilities, and distributing its remaining assets to its shareholders.

Any shareholders remaining in a Fund on the Distribution Date will automatically have their shares redeemed at the net asset value of such shares after the Fund has paid or provided for all of its charges, taxes, expenses and liabilities, including any costs of liquidating the Fund. Proceeds of the liquidation are currently expected to be sent to shareholders on or about the Distribution Date.

Each Fund may distribute to its shareholders capital gains and net investment income on or before the Distribution Date. These cash distributions are taxable events. Shareholders should consult their tax advisor about any potential tax consequences.
