NOTICE OF CHANGE OF LOCATION

OF SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON JUNE 9, 2020

To the shareholders of the above trusts (the “trusts”):

Due to the public health impact of the coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”) and to support the health and well-being of our shareholders, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the location of the Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) of the trusts has been changed. As previously announced, the Meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 9, 2020 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. In light of public health concerns regarding COVID-19 and current restrictions from the Governor of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts on gatherings of more than ten people, the Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only. The Meeting will be accessible solely by means of remote audio communication. You will not be able to attend the Meeting in person.

As described in the proxy materials for the Meeting previously distributed, the Board of Trustees of the trusts has fixed the close of business on April 13, 2020 as the record date for the determination of shareholders of the trusts entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof. To participate in the Meeting at http://www.meetingcenter.io/250362965, you must enter the Meeting password (EQU2020). You must also enter the control number found on your proxy card, voting instruction form or notice you previously received. If you have lost or misplaced your control number and security code, please email Computershare Limited, the trusts’ proxy solicitor (“Computershare”), at Fidelity.Investments@proxydirectmail.com (include your full name, street address, city, state & zip code) to verify your identity and obtain your control number and security code. You may vote during the Meeting by following the instructions available on the Meeting website during the Meeting.

If you hold your shares through an intermediary, such as a bank or broker, you must register in advance to attend the Meeting. To register you must submit proof of your proxy power (legal proxy) reflecting your trust holdings along with your name and email address to Computershare. You may forward an email from your intermediary or attach an image of your legal proxy to shareholdermeetings@computershare.com.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting through means of remote audio communications, we urge you to authorize a proxy to vote your shares in advance of the Meeting by one of the methods described in the proxy materials for the Meeting. The Proxy Statement is available on the Internet at https://www.proxy-direct.com/Fidelity.
