Morgan Mutual Fund Investment Trust, JPMorgan Insurance Trust, Undiscovered Managers Funds, and JPMorgan Institutional Trust (collectively, the “J.P.

The Board of Trustees of the Trust has nominated and proposed for election the following sixteen individuals and plans to hold a special shareholder meeting to propose that its shareholders elect them to serve as the Trust’s new Board of Trustees (the “Election”):
