Shareholders of the fund on that date may continue to purchase shares in accounts existing on that date. Investors who did not own shares of the fund on April 3, 1998, generally will not be allowed to purchase shares of the fund except that new accounts may be established: 1) by participants in most group employer retirement plans (and their successor plans) in which the fund had been established as an investment option by April 3, 1998; and 2) for accounts managed on a discretionary basis by certain registered investment advisors that have discretionary assets of at least $1 billion invested in mutual funds and have included the fund in their discretionary account program since April 3, 1998. These restrictions generally will apply to investments made directly with Fidelity and investments made through intermediaries. Investors may be required to demonstrate eligibility to purchase shares of the fund before an investment is accepted. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
