JOINT SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS

This Joint Proxy Statement is being provided to shareholders on behalf of the Board of Directors or Trustees (the “Boards”) of the funds including the American Funds and the Capital Group exchange-traded funds (each a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”) as indicated in this proxy statement. Each Fund will hold a special shareholder meeting on November 25, 2025, at the office of Capital Group, 333 South Hope Street, Los Angeles, California 90071 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND AND VOTE ON THE PROPOSALS

Please read the full text of the Joint Proxy Statement. Below is a brief overview of the proposals to be voted upon. Your vote is important.

Why am I being asked to vote?

You were as of the record date (August 28, 2025), a shareholder of one or more of the Funds. The proposals require the approval of shareholders of such Fund(s). The Board of each Fund has approved the proposals 1 – 3, as described below, and recommends that you vote “FOR” each of them.

What am I being asked to vote on?

You are being asked to vote on proposals to:

1.   Elect Board members of each of the Fund(s) of which you are a shareholder. It has been several years since the Funds held shareholder meetings to elect Board members, and subsequent changes in the composition of each Fund’s Board now necessitate the election of the nominees. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), the Board may fill vacancies by appointment so long as, after the Board fills the vacancy, at least two-thirds of the Board members were elected by shareholders. By electing Board members now, the Funds’ Boards will be able to add new members for a longer period without the expense of conducting additional shareholder meetings. The Joint Proxy Statement contains information relevant to the consideration of nominees for the Boards.

Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately to elect Board members of that Fund, except where there are multiple Funds in a series Shareholders of the Funds listed on Exhibit A will vote together to elect Board members of that series.

2.   Approve the proposed amendment of the Investment Advisory and Service Agreement to modify the investment advisory and service fee schedule for each of American Funds Mortgage Fund, American High-Income Trust, The Bond Fund of America, U.S. Government Securities Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund of America, American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund, Limited Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America, The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America, The Tax-Exempt Fund of California, and American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York.

Shareholders of these Funds are being asked to approve a change in the fee structure. The current advisory fee schedules for these Funds have both an asset and income component to the fee. This fee structure creates variability in the amount of the fees charged to a Fund, especially during dynamic interest rate environments. The Funds are proposing an asset-only advisory fee schedule that, if implemented, will create a certain amount of stability and consistency in fees for investors of these Funds, eliminating the potential for higher advisory fees during times of rising or higher interest rates.

3.   Approve a change in American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York’s classification from a “diversified” to a non-diversified” fund. Shareholders of this the Fund are being asked to approve this change in classification. The 1940 Act requires every mutual fund to be classified as either a “diversified” fund or “non-diversified” fund within the meaning of the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act also requires shareholders to approve a change in a fund’s classification from a diversified fund to a non-diversified fund. Under the 1940 Act, a diversified fund may not, with respect to

iii

75% of its total assets, invest in securities of any issuer if, as a result of such investment (i) more than 5% of the value of the fund’s total assets would be invested in securities of any one issuer, or (ii) the fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer. Non-diversified funds are not subject to these regulatory limits. Capital Research and Management Company (“CRMC”), the Fund’s investment adviser, believes that changing TEFNY’s classification to a non-diversified fund will benefit TEFNY by giving it greater investment flexibility.

Have the Funds’ Boards approved the proposals?

The Board of each Fund has approved proposals 1 – 3, as applicable, and recommends that you vote “FOR” these proposals.

What are the reasons for and advantages of the proposals?

Proposal 1 is part of a broader effort to update Board oversight and fund operations. Proposals 2 and 3 are intended to respond and adapt to changing market conditions. These changes are intended to better position the applicable Funds for achieving superior long-term investment results.

What is the vote required for each proposal?

With respect to proposal 1, approval for each Fund (other than EUPAC and EMEF) requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of votes cast by shareholders of such Fund at a shareholder meeting at which a quorum is present. Given the plurality voting standard and because each nominee is running unopposed, so long as a quorum is present for the Fund at the shareholder meeting, it is likely that each nominee will be elected for each Fund that requires a plurality of votes. See the section of this Joint Proxy Statement captioned “Method of tabulation” for more information regarding the plurality voting standard. Approval for EUPAC and EMEF requires the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast by shareholders of such Fund at a shareholder meeting at which a quorum is present. Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately to elect members of the Board of that Fund, except where there are multiple Funds in a series. Shareholders of the Funds listed on Exhibit A will vote together to elect Board members of that series, and the quorum requirement and plurality voting standard apply to the Funds of that series together.

With respect to proposals 2 and 3, approval for a Fund requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of such Fund at a shareholder meeting at which a quorum is present. Under the 1940 Act, the vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of a fund means the affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the voting securities present or represented by proxy at the shareholder meeting if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund are present in person or represented by proxy at the shareholder meeting or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. Shareholders of each applicable Fund will vote separately on proposals 2 and 3.

What if the proposals are not approved?

If there are not enough votes by shareholders of a Fund to approve a proposal by the time of the shareholder meeting, that Fund’s meeting may be adjourned to permit further solicitation of proxy votes. If a Fund’s shareholders do not ultimately approve a proposal, the Fund will continue to operate as it currently does.

iv

Who is Computershare Fund Services?

Computershare Fund Services (“Computershare”) is a company hired by the Funds to help with the shareholder meetings and collect votes. Computershare is not affiliated with the Funds, CRMC or Capital International, Inc. (“CIInc”, and together with CRMC, the “Advisers” and each the “Adviser”, as the context requires). If you have not voted before the meeting, you may get a call from Computershare asking for your vote so the meeting can go ahead as planned.

Who will pay the costs associated with obtaining shareholder approval of the Proposals?

The Board of each Fund has determined that the expenses associated with obtaining shareholder approval of the proposals, including printing and mailing of this Joint Proxy Statement and solicitation of proxies, are appropriate expenses for the Fund to incur. Accordingly, the Funds will bear these costs. We estimate that these costs will average across all Funds less than [$1.00] per shareholder account.

How many votes am I entitled to cast?

As a shareholder of a Fund, you are entitled to one vote per share and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional share you own of the Fund on the record date (August 28, 2025) with respect to that Fund’s shareholder meeting.

How do I vote my shares?

You can vote your shares online, by phone, by mail, or in person at the shareholder meeting. To vote online or by phone, use the instructions and numbers on your proxy card or meeting notice, as applicable; you’ll need the identifying numbers from the card or notice, as applicable. To vote by mail, complete, sign, and date your proxy card, then return it in the postage-paid envelope. If you have questions related to the shareholder meeting or need help voting, contact Computershare at (888) 615-7476.

You can help reduce shareholder costs by voting promptly. Your vote is important, regardless of the number of shares you own. Please read the enclosed material and vote your shares.

How do I sign the proxy card?

If voting by mail, please complete, sign and date the proxy card(s). When signing the proxy card(s):

Individual accounts: Shareholders should sign exactly as their names appear on the account registration shown on the proxy card.

Joint accounts: Either owner may sign the proxy card, but the name of the person signing should conform exactly to the name shown on the account registration.

All other accounts: The person signing must indicate his or her capacity. For example, a trustee for a trust or other entity should sign “Mary Smith, Trustee.”

PART I — THE PROPOSALS

Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately to elect Board members of that Fund, except where there are multiple Funds in a series. Shareholders of the Funds listed on Exhibit A will vote together to elect Board members of that series.

Shareholders of each applicable Fund will vote separately on proposals 2 and 3. The successful passage of a proposal as to any Fund is not conditioned on the approval of the proposal by the shareholders of any other Fund.

PROPOSAL 1: TO ELECT BOARD MEMBERS

The purpose of the proposal is to elect members of the Board of directors/trustees (the “Board”) for each of the Funds. You are being asked to vote for the election of directors or trustees for your Fund(s).

It is intended that proxies will be voted for all nominees (the “nominees”) listed below for the applicable Board unless a proxy contains specific instructions to the contrary. If elected by shareholders, each nominee’s term in office will commence on January 1, 2026, and will continue until his or her resignation, death or disability, or until his or her successor is elected and qualified.

Each nominee has consented to serve on the applicable Board if elected by shareholders. If, however, before the election, any nominee refuses or is unable to serve, proxies may be voted for a replacement nominee, if any, designated by the applicable Board.

Pertinent information about each of the nominees, including information relating to the experience, attributes and skills relevant to the nominee’s qualifications to serve on the Board, is set forth in Appendix 1. Following is the list of nominees and the Fund(s) for which he or she is standing for election.

Shareholder Approval

Approval for each Fund (other than EUPAC and EMEF) requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of votes cast by shareholders of such Fund at a Shareholder Meeting at which a quorum is present. See the section of this Joint Proxy Statement captioned “Method of tabulation” for more information regarding the plurality voting standard. Approval for EUPAC and EMEF requires the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast by shareholders of such Fund at a Shareholder Meeting at which a quorum is present. Shareholders of the Funds listed on Exhibit A will vote together to elect members of the Board of that series, and the quorum requirement and plurality voting standard apply to the Funds of that series together.

THE BOARD OF EACH FUND RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE NOMINEES FOR YOUR FUND(S).

PROXIES WILL BE VOTED “FOR” THE ELECTION OF ALL NOMINEES, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED.

Board leadership structure

Each Board is led by an independent chair who is not an “interested person” of the Fund under the 1940 Act. The Boards believe that having an independent chair helps with oversight and allows the Boards to operate more effectively. The role of the independent chair includes leading Board meetings, setting schedules and agendas, running executive sessions with the other independent Board members, facilitating communication with committee chairs, and being the main independent Board member contact for Fund management and legal counsel.

Board role in risk oversight

The operations of each Fund are supervised by its Board, which meets periodically and performs duties required by applicable state and federal laws. Day-to-day management of each Fund, including risk management, is the responsibility of the Fund’s contractual service providers, including the Advisers, principal underwriter/distributor and transfer agent. Each of these entities is responsible for specific portions of the Fund’s operations, including the processes and associated risks relating to the Fund’s investments, integrity of cash movements, financial reporting, operations and compliance. The Boards oversee the service providers’ discharge of their responsibilities, including the processes they use to manage relevant risks. In that regard, the Boards receive reports regarding the operations of a Fund’s service providers, including relevant risks. For example, the Boards receive reports from investment professionals regarding risks related to a Fund’s investments and trading. The Boards also receive compliance reports from the chief compliance officers of the Funds and Advisers addressing certain areas of risk.

As described below, each Board has three standing committees comprised entirely of independent Board members: an audit committee (“AC”), a contracts committee (“KC“) and a nominating and governance committee (“NGC”). Those committees, as well as joint committees of independent Board members of the Funds, also explore risk management procedures in particular areas and report back to the full Board.

7

Not all risks that may affect the Funds can be identified or processes and controls developed to eliminate or mitigate their effect. Moreover, it is necessary to bear certain risks (such as investment-related risks) to achieve a Fund’s objectives. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, the ability of the Funds’ service providers to eliminate or mitigate risks is subject to limitations.

Board committees and membership

Each Board committee member was an independent Board member during such Fund’s most recent fiscal year. Committee memberships are set forth in Appendix 2. If the nominees are elected, each Board may reconstitute its committees with independent Board members.

The AC provides oversight regarding the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices, its internal controls and the internal controls of the Fund’s principal service providers and acts as a liaison between the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm and its full Board.

Each Fund’s KC is composed of all the Board’s independent Board members. The KC’s principal function is to request, review and consider the information deemed necessary to evaluate the terms of certain agreements between the Fund and its Adviser or the Adviser’s affiliates, such as the Investment Advisory and Service Agreement, Principal Underwriting Agreement, Administrative Services Agreement and Plans of Distribution adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, that the Fund may enter into, renew or continue, and to make recommendations to the Fund’s full Board on these matters.

Each Fund has a NGC composed of certain independent Board members. The NGC operates under a written charter, a form of which is set forth in Exhibit B. The NGC periodically reviews such issues as the Board’s composition, responsibilities, committees, compensation and other relevant matters, and recommends any appropriate changes to the full Board. The NGC also coordinates annual self-assessments of each Fund’s Board and evaluates, selects and nominates independent Board members to the full Board. While the NGC of each Fund normally is able to identify from its own and other resources an ample number of qualified candidates, it will consider shareholder suggestions of persons to be considered as nominees to fill future vacancies on the Board. Such suggestions must be made in writing to the NGC of the Fund, addressed to the Fund’s secretary, and accompanied by complete biographical and occupational data of the prospective nominee, along with a written consent of the prospective nominee for consideration of his or her name by the NGC (see also the section of this Joint Proxy Statement titled “Shareholder Proposals”).

Board member compensation and Fund ownership

Compensation paid to each independent Board member for the Fund(s) he or she oversees as a Board member, during the most recent fiscal year for each Fund, is set forth in Appendix 3. The value of Fund shares owned by each Board member or nominee in the Fund(s) he or she oversees, or would oversee if elected, as of June 30, 2025, is also set forth in Appendix 3. No compensation is paid by the Funds to any Board member who is affiliated with the Adviser. No pension or retirement benefits are accrued to any nominee as part of Fund expenses.

Other officers

Set forth in Appendix 4 are the executive officers of each Fund as of the date of this Joint Proxy Statement. Each officer listed was appointed and each will hold office until his or her resignation, removal or retirement, or until a successor is duly appointed.

No officer, director or employee of CRMC or CIInc receives any remuneration from any Fund.

8

Board correspondence

The Funds do not hold annual meetings of shareholders and, therefore, do not have a policy with regard to Board member attendance at such meetings. If a shareholder wishes to send a communication to any of the Boards, or to a specified Board member, the communication should be submitted in writing to the Secretary of the applicable Fund(s) at 333 South Hope Street, 55th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90071, who will forward such communication to the applicable Board member(s).

PROPOSAL 2: TO APPROVE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SERVICE AGREEMENT AMENDMENTS TO MODIFY THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SERVICE FEE SCHEDULE FOR EACH OF AMERICAN FUNDS MORTGAGE FUND, AMERICAN HIGH-INCOME TRUST, THE BOND FUND OF AMERICA, U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND, INTERMEDIATE BOND FUND OF AMERICA, AMERICAN HIGH-INCOME MUNICIPAL BOND FUND, LIMITED TERM TAX-EXEMPT BOND FUND OF AMERICA, THE TAX-EXEMPT BOND FUND OF AMERICA, THE TAX-EXEMPT FUND OF CALIFORNIA, AND AMERICAN FUNDS TAX-EXEMPT FUND OF NEW YORK.

Introduction

The purpose of the proposal is for shareholders of each Fund named in this proposal to approve the implementation of proposed changes to the Fund’s advisory fee structure to remove the income component of the fee structure and implement an asset-only advisory fee schedule as set forth in Appendix 8.

Currently, each Fund named in this proposal has an advisory fee structure in place where the advisory fee has both an asset-based component, which is calculated based on the Fund’s average daily net assets, and an income component, which is calculated based on the Fund’s monthly gross income for the preceding month (the “Income Portion”). The Income Portion of each Fund’s advisory fee is explained more fully below under “Description of Current Advisory Agreement”. Most mutual funds have simpler fee structures in place and charge an advisory fee based only on the fund’s average daily net assets. The Income Portion is complicated and creates variability (sometimes significant) in the amount of the fees charged to a Fund, especially during dynamic interest rate environments. For example, when interest rates were very low during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Funds’ advisory fees were lower, but began to rise when interest rates rose. In the current yield environment, for Funds that have an Income Portion, advisory fees have increased, as reflected in Appendix 9. In some cases, the Adviser has voluntarily waived a portion of the increase in fees to mitigate the impact. Each Fund’s Board and Adviser believes that removing the Income Portion of the advisory fee and implementing an asset-only advisory fee structure for these Funds will provide a certain amount of stability and consistency of pricing for shareholders, and will potentially make the Funds more marketable among their peers, which could result in an overall increase in assets.

Shareholders of each Fund should consider the benefits to CRMC if they approve the proposal. For example, the proposed changes to certain Funds’ advisory fee structures will, under certain circumstances for AHIT and TEBF, result in a Fund paying higher advisory fees than it pays under its current fee structure.

Furthermore, if the Funds’ assets grow, CRMC will receive more in advisory fees, because the overall average daily net assets on which CRMC will collect advisory fees will be greater.

9

Shareholders of each Fund should also consider the potential benefits to the Funds if the proposal is approved. Specifically, if the Funds’ assets grow, shareholders may benefit from efficiencies, as well as reduced overall expenses. Shareholders should note, however, that there is no guarantee such efficiencies will be realized or overall expenses reduced.

Information Regarding Capital Research and Management Company

CRMC, an experienced investment management organization founded in 1931, serves as the investment adviser to the Funds and, as of June 30, 2025, had more than $3.0 trillion in assets under management. CRMC is a corporation organized under the laws of the state of Delaware and is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Capital Group Companies, Inc. The address of CRMC and The Capital Group Companies, Inc. is 333 South Hope Street, Los Angeles, California 90071.

Under the Current Advisory Agreement, CRMC is responsible for providing a continuous investment program for each Fund, making decisions with respect to all purchases and sales of assets, and placing orders for the investment and reinvestment of Fund assets.

In consideration of the services provided by CRMC under the Current Advisory Agreements, the Funds pay CRMC a fee that is composed of a Base Fee (defined below) and an Income Portion.

Base Fee. The base fee is calculated and accrued daily, at the annualized rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets as set forth in Appendix 8 (“Base Fee”).

Income Portion. The Income Portion is calculated from the Fund’s monthly gross income for the preceding month. The Income Portion accrues daily, and “gross income” for this purpose is determined in the same manner as gross income is determined for and reported in financial statements and does not include gains or losses from the sale of securities.

Description of Advisory Agreement Amendment

The proposed amendment to the advisory agreement between CRMC and each Fund (the “Advisory Agreement Amendment”) makes no changes to the Current Advisory Agreement, with the exception of changing the date of effectiveness and the advisory fee rate for each Fund and removing the Income Portion of the advisory fee.

Additionally, there are no differences in CRMC’s obligations to the Funds imposed by the Advisory Agreement Amendment. Accordingly, the Advisory Agreement Amendment would not result in any material changes to the nature, extent or quality of services provided by CRMC to any Fund. If the proposal is not approved by shareholders of a certain Fund, the applicable Fund’s existing advisory agreement and fee structure will remain in effect. If shareholders of each Fund approve the proposal applicable to that Fund at the Shareholder Meeting, the fee changes will be effective no sooner than March 1, 2026. Until that time, the Funds will be charged fee rates consistent with the Current Advisory Agreements. The Advisory Agreement Amendment’s initial term will last until the Fund’s Current Advisory Agreement is set to expire and will continue in effect for successive one-year periods thereafter if its continuance is approved, on behalf of the Funds, at least annually in the manner required by the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

The proposed advisory fee rates under the Advisory Agreement Amendment are set forth in Appendix 8.

Appendix 9 is a comparison of the advisory fees each Fund paid for the previous three prospectus filings, and proposed advisory fees each Fund would have paid at June 30, 2025, applied to the 12-month average daily net assets. Appendix 9 also provides the ranking of each Fund against advisory fees of similar funds, excluding funds of funds, in its peer group assuming the new advisory fee is in place, as well as comparative data showing examples of the highest and lowest advisory fees for each Fund over market environments of the prior twenty fiscal years, which included a variety of different market environments.

Additionally, Appendix 10 includes a comparison of each Fund’s annual operating expenses for the fiscal year 2024 and hypothetical annual operating expenses for each Fund if the new asset-based-only advisory fee would have been in place. As shown in Appendix 10, the actual gross advisory fees paid to CRMC for each Fund for the fiscal year 2024 may vary significantly when compared to a hypothetical example of the amount of fees that would have been paid during this period had the Advisory Agreement Amendment been in effect. This is because the Income Portion is tied to the income generated by each Fund.

11

Board Considerations Regarding Advisory Agreement Amendment

At a meeting held on June 12, 2025 (the “Contracts Committee Meeting”), the KC reviewed and approved the Advisory Agreement Amendment, on behalf of each Fund, and recommended the Advisory Agreement Amendment to the Board. At meetings held on March 3, 2025, and June 12, 2025, the Board, including a majority of the independent Board members, reviewed and, in the exercise of its business judgment, approved the Advisory Agreement Amendment, on behalf of each Fund. The Board also recommended that shareholders of each Fund approve the Advisory Agreement Amendment. The independent Board members received advice from, and met separately with, independent Board member counsel in considering whether to approve the Advisory Agreement Amendments. The Board considered the information provided about the Funds together and with respect to each Fund separately as the Board deemed appropriate.

In considering the approval of the Advisory Agreement Amendments, the Board reviewed and considered information provided by CRMC at the Contracts Committee Meeting and throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. The Board also reviewed and considered information provided in response to a detailed request for information submitted to CRMC by independent Board member counsel on behalf of the independent Board members.

In approving the Advisory Agreement Amendment, the Board, including a majority of the independent Board members, determined that the terms of the Advisory Agreement Amendment are fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided, and that the Advisory Agreement Amendment is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. While attention was given to all information furnished, the following discusses some primary factors relevant to the Board’s determination. The Board did not identify any single issue or particular piece of information that, in isolation, was the controlling factor, and each Board member did not necessarily attribute the same weight to each factor.

   The Board noted its review and consideration of the information provided by CRMC, including the performance results of the Funds, in connection with the annual contract renewal process at a meeting in December 2024.

   The Board considered a form of the Advisory Agreement Amendment for each Fund and noted that the Advisory Agreement Amendment did not change any of the terms and conditions of the Current Advisory Agreement other than the fee schedule for the Fund and the date of the contract.

   The Board noted that except for the change in advisory fee for each Fund, the Advisory Agreement Amendment would result in no change or diminution in the nature, extent, or quality of services provided by CRMC to the Fund, and that the Fund’s current portfolio managers would continue to manage the Fund.

   The Board also reviewed CRMC’s rationale for the changes to the advisory fee structure, including that (i) the Income Portion is more complicated than the asset-based advisory fee proposed in the Advisory Agreement Amendment and that the Funds’ advisory fees had increased in the current interest rate environment; and (ii) the proposed change in investment advisory fees is intended to provide a certain amount of stability and consistency of pricing for shareholders and will potentially make the Funds more marketable among their peers.

12

   The Board reviewed and considered information regarding each Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components, including advisory fees and operating expenses under the Current Advisory Agreement and the Advisory Agreement Amendment. The Board reviewed and considered the actual advisory fees paid to CRMC by each Fund for the prior ten fiscal years as compared to a hypothetical example of the advisory fees that would have been paid during such periods had the Advisory Agreement Amendment been in effect. The Board then reviewed expense tables comparing each Fund’s annual operating expenses based on total annual fund operating expenses for the fiscal year 2024 and pro forma expenses showing these same expenses adjusted for the change in the advisory fee under the Advisory Agreement Amendment. The Board compared the advisory fees and total expense levels of each Fund to those of other relevant funds. The Board noted that the information showed that for certain Funds, the advisory fee for fiscal year 2024 would have been higher using the proposed advisory fee, but nonetheless determined that the terms of the Advisory Agreement Amendment are fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided.

   The Board considered management’s explanation of how management arrived at the proposed advisory fees for each Fund based on the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Board noted that the proposed advisory fees would generally position each Fund within the lowest three deciles (which are the most favorable) of advisory fees of comparable funds included in the Fund’s Morningstar category as of June 30, 2025.

The Board reviewed and considered information regarding the estimated impact of the proposed advisory fees to CRMC’s profitability. The Board noted the competitiveness and cyclicality of both the mutual fund industry and the capital markets, and the importance in that environment of CRMC’s long-term profitability for maintaining its independence, company culture and management continuity. The Board further considered the breakpoint discounts in each Fund’s proposed advisory fee schedule and CRMC’s sharing of potential economies of scale, or efficiencies, through the breakpoints. The Board also took into account the voluntary fee waiver agreement between CRMC and each Fund, as well as the fact that CRMC had been reimbursing certain expenses of each Fund since each Fund’s inception. The Board and the committee concluded that each Fund’s proposed advisory fee schedule reflected a reasonable sharing of benefits between CRMC and the Fund’s shareholders.

   The Board noted management’s belief that removing the Income Portion and implementing an advisory fee based on average daily net assets for each Fund will potentially increase the marketability of the Funds, which could result in an overall increase in assets. The Board further noted that if the Funds’ assets grow, then shareholders may benefit from efficiencies, as well as reduced overall expenses. The Board considered CRMC’s statement, but noted, however, that there is no guarantee that such efficiencies will be realized or overall expenses reduced.

   The Board considered the approval of the KC of the Advisory Agreement Amendment and such committee’s recommendation to the Board.

   The Board noted the length of time CRMC had provided services as an Adviser to each Fund, and the reasons why CRMC believes that seeking shareholder approval of the Advisory Agreement Amendment at the current time is reasonable and in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

13

   The Board took into account CRMC’s overall marketing strategy for the American Funds, including how the Funds fit into that strategy currently and going forward, including with respect to possible new products.

Shareholder Approval

Approval of the proposal as to a Fund will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of that Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act. A “majority of the outstanding voting securities” is defined in the 1940 Act as the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the voting securities present at the Shareholder Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund are present at the Shareholder Meeting or represented by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

IF APPLICABLE TO YOU, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL 3: TO APPROVE A CHANGE IN AMERICAN FUNDS TAX-EXEMPT FUND OF NEW YORK’S CLASSIFICATION FROM A “DIVERSIFIED” FUND TO A “NON-DIVERSIFIED” FUND.

Background and Description of the Proposal

The 1940 Act requires every mutual fund to be classified as either a “diversified” fund or “non-diversified” fund within the meaning of the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act also requires shareholders to approve a change in a fund’s classification from a diversified fund to a non-diversified fund.

A diversified fund is limited as to the amount it may invest in any single issuer. Under the 1940 Act, a diversified fund may not, with respect to 75% of its total assets, invest in securities of any issuer if, as a result of such investment (i) more than 5% of the value of the fund’s total assets would be invested in securities of any one issuer, or (ii) the fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer. These percentage limitations do not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, or to securities issued by other investment companies. With respect to the remaining 25% of its total assets, a diversified fund may invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of one issuer. These limits apply at the time a diversified fund purchases a security; a diversified fund may exceed these limits if positions it already holds increase in value relative to the rest of the fund’s holdings. In contrast, a non-diversified fund is not subject to the limits of a diversified fund; it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a single issuer or a fewer number of issuers than a diversified fund.

TEFNY is currently classified as a diversified fund. Shareholders are being asked to approve a change in TEFNY’s classification from a diversified fund to a non-diversified fund, as defined under the 1940 Act. CRMC, TEFNY’s investment adviser, believes that changing the Fund’s classification to non-diversified will benefit the Fund by giving it the flexibility to hold larger positions in certain issuers. With respect to TEFNY’s investment universe, the New York municipal market is generally a high-quality market, with few issuers. Accordingly, CRMC believes that this change will better allow the Fund to take more meaningful positions in the securities of issuers that express the Adviser’s highest convictions. In addition, according to data available on Morningstar, as of July 31, 2025, a majority of the New York tax-exempt registered funds were non-diversified.

14

If TEFNY concentrates its investments in fewer issuers, it becomes more vulnerable to negative developments affecting those issuers. A larger allocation to any single issuer increases the risk of loss and share price volatility, since adverse circumstances or events impacting that issuer could lead to greater losses than if assets were spread across more issuers.

Other than the change in TEFNY’s classification from diversified to non-diversified, CRMC does not propose or anticipate any material changes in the management of the Fund if the proposal is approved. Any future material changes to the management of the Fund will require consideration by the Board and disclosure in the Fund’s prospectus or statement of additional information, as appropriate.

In addition, TEFNY is (and will remain) subject to the diversification rules of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”). These rules provide that, to maintain favorable tax treatment, the Fund must invest at least 50% of its total assets so that no more than 5% of its total assets are invested in the securities of any issuer, and so that it holds no more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any issuer. With respect to the remaining 50% of its total assets, the Fund is limited to investing 25% in the securities of a single issuer. These limits apply only as of the end of each quarter of the Fund’s fiscal year, so the Fund may have a higher concentration in an issuer during periods between the ends of its fiscal quarters. However, CRMC has no current intention of investing in the securities of any single issuer beyond the Tax Code limits. Like the 1940 Act limits, the Tax Code limits do not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, or to securities issued by other investment companies.

The Board met on June 12, 2025 and unanimously approved the proposal. In its decision, the Board considered CRMC’s view that changing TEFNY to a non-diversified fund would provide flexibility to invest more meaningfully in select issuers. The Board also noted the increased risk of concentrating assets but accepted CRMC’s position that these risks are justified by potential benefits. If TEFNY shareholders approve the proposal, the change in the Fund’s classification to non-diversified will become effective once its registration statement is updated to reflect this change. If the proposal is not approved, the Fund will remain diversified under its current policy.

Shareholder Approval

Approval of the proposal will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of TEFNY, as defined in the 1940 Act. A “majority of the outstanding voting securities” is defined in the 1940 Act as the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the voting securities present at the Shareholder Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund are present at the Shareholder Meeting or represented by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

IF APPLICABLE TO YOU, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL.

As of June 30, 2025, the officers and Board members of each Fund, as a group, owned of record and beneficially less than 1% of the outstanding voting securities of such Fund.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

AUDIT COMMITTEE AND INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM. Each Fund’s AC acts as the liaison between the full Board and the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm (“auditors”). The AC of each Fund is responsible for the appointment, compensation and retention of the Fund’s auditors, including evaluating their independence, recommending the selection of the Fund’s auditors to the full Board, and meeting with such auditors to consider and review matters relating to the Fund’s financial reports and internal accounting. The members of each Fund’s AC, all of whom are independent Board members, are indicated in Appendix 2.

SELECTION OF AUDITORS. The AC and the Board of each Fund have selected either Deloitte & Touche LLP (“D&T”) or PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), as indicated in Appendix 7, as auditors of such Fund for the current fiscal year. The Funds do not expect representatives of D&T or PwC to be present at the Shareholder Meetings; however, representatives of D&T and/or PwC will have the opportunity to make a statement if they wish and will be available should any matter arise requiring their presence.

AUDIT FEES. The aggregate fees paid to D&T or PwC by each Fund for professional services rendered for the audit of the Fund’s annual financial statements or for services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the Fund’s last two fiscal years are set forth in Appendix 7.

AUDIT-RELATED FEES. The aggregate fees paid to D&T or PwC by each Fund for assurance and other services rendered that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund’s financial statements for the Fund’s last two fiscal years and not reported under “Audit Fees” above are set forth in Appendix 7.

TAX FEES. The aggregate fees paid to D&T or PwC by each Fund for tax compliance, tax advice or tax planning services (“tax services”) rendered by D&T or PwC to a Fund for that Fund’s last two fiscal years are set forth in Appendix 7. The tax services for which these fees were paid related to the preparation of the Fund’s tax returns.

ALL OTHER FEES. The Funds did not pay any fees for products or services provided by D&T or PwC to the Funds, other than those reported above, for each Fund’s last two fiscal years.

17

AGGREGATE NON-AUDIT FEES. The aggregate fees paid to D&T or PwC by each Fund for non-audit services provided to such Fund, to the Adviser and to any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provide ongoing services to the Fund for each Fund’s last two fiscal years are set forth in Appendix 7.

The AC of each Fund has determined that the provision of such non-audit services, including tax-related services, to the Adviser and to any entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provide ongoing services to the Fund is compatible with maintaining D&T’s or PwC’s independence.

AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. The AC of each Fund has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require all audit, audit-related, tax and other services provided by D&T or PwC be pre-approved by the AC. The AC of each Fund has further delegated the authority to review and pre-approve such fees for services not to exceed an aggregate amount of $5,000 to the AC Chair, provided the AC Chair reports such matters to the full AC at its next meeting.

FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING AND THE SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES. Your vote is being solicited by, and on behalf of, the Board members of each Fund. The cost of soliciting proxies, including the fees of a proxy soliciting agent, will be borne by the Funds. The Funds reimburse brokerage firms and others for their expenses in forwarding proxy material to the beneficial owners and soliciting them to execute proxies. The Funds have engaged Computershare, a professional proxy solicitation firm, to solicit proxies from brokers, banks, other institutional holders and individual shareholders. The Funds expect that the solicitation will be primarily by mail, but may also include telephone, electronic or other means of communication. If your Fund does not receive your proxy by a certain time, you may receive a telephone call from Computershare asking you to vote. In any case, Computershare will be: (i) required to maintain the confidentiality of all shareholder information; (ii) prohibited from selling or otherwise disclosing shareholder information to any third party; and (iii) required to comply with applicable state telemarketing laws. The Fund does not reimburse Board members and officers of the Fund or regular employees and agents of CRMC involved in the solicitation of proxies. The Funds will pay all costs associated with the solicitation and the Shareholder Meetings. Such costs will be allocated among the Funds.

VOTING BY BROKER-DEALERS. The Funds expect that, before the Shareholder Meetings, broker-dealer firms holding shares of the Funds in “street name” for their customers will request voting instructions from their customers and beneficial owners. When these instructions are not received by the date specified in the broker-dealer firms’ proxy solicitation material, the Funds understand that broker-dealers have authority under applicable stock exchange rules to cast votes on certain “routine” matters. Proposal 1 is considered a routine matter. Proposals 2 and -3 are considered non-routine matters.

QUORUM. With respect to proposal 1, holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of EUPAC and holders of one-third of the outstanding shares of every other Fund, present in person or represented by proxy, constitute a quorum at the applicable Shareholder Meeting for purposes of acting upon the proposal with respect to that Fund.

With respect to proposals 2 and 3, holders of one-third of the outstanding shares of each Fund, present in person or represented by proxy, constitute a quorum at the applicable Shareholder Meeting for purposes of acting upon the proposal with respect to that Fund.

18

With respect to proposals 1-3, proxies returned with respect to shares over which broker-dealers have discretionary voting power, shares that represent “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter), and shares whose proxy instructions reflect an abstention will all be counted as shares present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining whether the required quorum of shares exists.

METHOD OF TABULATION. With respect to proposal 1, except for EUPAC and EMEF, approval of the proposal as to each Fund requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the applicable Shareholder Meeting. Shareholders of the Funds listed on Exhibit A will vote together to elect members of the Board of that series, and the plurality voting standard applies to the Funds in that series together. It is expected that, as to each of these Funds that has a plurality voting standard, the proposal will be approved and each nominee to the respective Board will be elected. Under a plurality voting standard, the nominee receiving the greatest number of affirmative votes will be elected for the board seat for which he or she has been nominated, regardless of whether the nominee receives a majority of the votes cast. In other words, a majority of a Fund’s shareholders could withhold approval of a nominee’s election, but, so long as a quorum is present, the nominee could be elected with a single “FOR” vote. Because a single nominee has been nominated for each available Board seat and because each nominee is running unopposed, provided a quorum is present, each nominee for each Fund that has a plurality voting standard is expected to be elected.

With respect to proposal 1 for EUPAC and EMEF, approval of the proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Shareholder Meeting of the Fund.

With respect to proposals 2 and 3, if a quorum is present at the shareholder meeting, approval of the proposal will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of such Fund. Under the 1940 Act, the vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of a Fund means the affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the voting securities present or represented by proxy at the Shareholder Meeting if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund are present in person or represented by proxy at the Shareholder Meeting, or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately on the proposals, as applicable.

Abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as votes present at the Shareholder Meetings for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum, but will not be treated as votes cast. Abstentions and broker non-votes, therefore, will have no effect on the Proposal 1, but will have the effect of votes against Proposals 2 and 3. Proxy cards that are signed and dated, but not completed, will be voted “FOR” each of the proposals.

ADJOURNMENT. With respect to any Fund, whether or not a quorum is present, the Shareholder Meeting may be adjourned by a majority of the votes properly cast upon the question of adjourning the Shareholder Meeting to another date and time. For each Fund (other than EMEF, EUPAC, NWF and SCWF), the Shareholder Meeting may also be adjourned to another date and time by, or upon the authority of, the Chairman of the Board or the Board members of the Fund. For EMEF, EUPAC, NWF and SCWF, the Shareholder Meeting may also be adjourned to another date, time or place by the Chairman of the meeting. Such authority to adjourn the Shareholder Meeting may be exercised if a quorum is not present at the Shareholder Meeting, or, if a quorum is present but sufficient votes have not been received to approve the proposal or for any other reason consistent with applicable laws and the Fund’s charter, bylaws or other

19

governing documents, including to allow for the further solicitation of proxies. Any adjournment may be made with respect to any business which might have been transacted at such Shareholder Meeting, and any adjournment will not delay or otherwise affect the effectiveness and validity of any business transacted at the Shareholder Meeting prior to adjournment. Unless otherwise instructed by a shareholder granting a proxy, the persons designated as proxies may use their discretionary authority to vote as instructed by management of the Fund on questions of adjournment and on any other proposals raised at the Shareholder Meeting to the extent permitted by federal proxy rules, including proposals for which management of the Fund did not have timely notice.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS. The Funds are not required and do not intend to hold regular annual meetings of shareholders. A shareholder who wishes to submit a proposal for consideration for inclusion in a Fund’s proxy statement for its next meeting of shareholders should send a written proposal to the Fund’s office at 333 South Hope Street, Los Angeles, CA 90071, Attention: Secretary, so that it is received within a reasonable time in advance of such meeting in order to be included in the Fund’s proxy statement relating to that meeting and presented at the meeting. A shareholder proposal may be presented at a shareholder meeting only if such proposal concerns a matter that may be properly brought before the meeting under applicable federal proxy rules, state law and other governing instruments. Submission of a proposal by a shareholder does not guarantee that the proposal will be included in a Fund’s proxy statement or presented at the meeting.

REVOKING YOUR PROXY. Your latest vote is the one that counts. Therefore, you can revoke a prior proxy simply by voting again — online, with your proxy card, or by phone. You can also revoke a prior proxy by writing to the Fund’s secretary at 333 South Hope Street, Los Angeles, CA 90071 or by voting in person at the Shareholder Meeting. You may revoke your proxy at any time up until voting results are announced at the Shareholder Meeting.

OTHER BUSINESS. No business other than the matters described above is expected to come before the Shareholder Meetings, but should any other matter requiring a vote of any Fund’s shareholders arise, including any questions as to an adjournment or postponement of a Shareholder Meeting, the persons designated as proxies will vote on such matters in accordance with the views of management.

FORM OF
NOMINATING AND GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE CHARTER

I.      COMMITTEE ORGANIZATION

The Nominating and Governance Committee (the “Committee”), a committee established by the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) of the Fund/Trust, will be comprised solely of members of the Board who are not considered “interested persons” of the Fund/Trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and who are otherwise independent. To be considered independent a member may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the Board, the Committee or any other committee of the Board, accept any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the Fund/Trust, or be a former officer or director of Capital Research and Management Company (“CRMC”) or any of its affiliates.

The Board will appoint the members of the Committee. If the Board has not designated a Chair of the Committee, the Committee members may designate a Chair by majority vote of all members. The Committee will be composed of at least three independent board members. The Fund’s/Trust’s Secretary will serve as Secretary of the Committee.

The Committee will meet with the frequency, and at the times, determined by the Committee Chair or a majority of Committee members. Under normal circumstances, the Committee is expected to meet at least annually. The Chair will cause notice of each meeting, together with the agenda and any related material, to be sent to each member, normally at least one week before the meeting. The Chair will cause minutes of each Committee meeting to be prepared and distributed to Committee members promptly. The Committee may ask independent legal counsel, officers of the Fund/Trust, representatives of CRMC, or others to attend Committee meetings and provide pertinent information as necessary or desirable. The Committee may also meet in executive session.

II.    DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The Committee will:

(a)   Evaluate the size and composition of the Board, and formulate policies and objectives concerning the desired mix of independent board member skills and characteristics. In doing so, the Committee will take into account all factors it considers relevant, including experience, demonstrated capabilities, independence, commitment, reputation, background, understanding of the investment business and understanding of business and financial matters generally. Where feasible and appropriate, the Committee will seek to enhance the diversity of Board membership. The Committee will also consider Board member succession matters.

(b)   Identify and recommend to the full Board for approval board member nominations.

(c)   Review independent board member compensation at least every two years, and expense-reimbursement policies as appropriate. The Committee will make recommendations on these matters to the full Board.

(d)   Review material, including information drawn from independent board member questionnaires, relating to positions, transactions and relationships that could reasonably bear on the independence of board members or raise concerns regarding potential conflicts of interest.

B-1

(e)   Make recommendations to the full Board concerning the appointment of the Chair and any Vice Chair of the Board and the appointment of independent board members to the Board’s committees and as Board committee chairs. The Committee will review terms of the Board Chair and committee chairs in accordance with the Board’s current policy, consider exceptions as needed, and make recommendations to the full Board.1

(f)   Periodically consider the responsibilities of Board committees, the continuing need for each committee, the possible need for additional committees, and the desirability of combining or reorganizing committees, and make recommendations to the full Board with respect to such matters.

(g)   Participate in discussions regarding the annual assessment of the Board’s performance and review, discuss and make recommendations to the Board relating to those issues arising from such assessment.

(h)   Consider governance-related matters and recommend to the Board any actions related to such matters as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable from time to time.

III.     AUTHORITY AND RESOURCES

The Committee will have the resources and authority appropriate to discharge its responsibilities, including, among other things, the authority to retain a search firm to assist the Committee in identifying, screening and attracting independent board members.

Independent legal counsel to the independent board members will serve as independent legal counsel to the Committee.

IV.     POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

The Committee’s policies and procedures may change from time to time to reflect new or evolving business conditions or nominating committee practices. In meeting its responsibilities, the Committee is expected to:

(a)   Provide oversight and help facilitate the orientation of new independent board members. The Committee Chair may designate an experienced independent board member to assist, and be available to, a new independent board member during his or her first year of service on the Board.

(b)   Consider, at such times as the Committee may deem appropriate, whether the composition of the Board, its committees reflect an appropriate blend of skills, backgrounds and experience, in relation to the goal of maximizing their effectiveness. The Committee may also consider the effectiveness of meetings, including their frequency, scheduling and duration, adequacy and focus of agendas, and material and presentations, and, as appropriate, Board member attendance.

(c)   Periodically review and reassess the adequacy of this Charter and recommend to the full Board any changes deemed advisable.

____________

1     The Board’s current policy is that the independent Board chair and Board committee chairs shall serve terms of three years in length, which can be extended to a second three-year term, for a maximum of six years. In some instances there can be exceptions.

B-2

APPENDIX 1

Board Member and Nominee Information

Each Fund’s nominating and governance committee and Board select nominees with a view toward constituting a Board that, as a body, possesses the qualifications, skills, attributes and experience to appropriately oversee the actions of the Fund’s service providers, decide upon matters of general policy and represent the long-term interests of Fund shareholders. In doing so, the nominating and governance committee considers the qualifications, skills, attributes and experience of the current Board members, with a view toward maintaining a Board that is diverse in viewpoint, experience, education and skills.

Each Fund seeks nominees who have high ethical standards and the highest levels of integrity and commitment, who have inquiring and independent minds, mature judgment, good communication skills, and other complementary personal qualifications and skills that enable them to function effectively in the context of the Fund’s board and committee structure and who have the ability and willingness to dedicate sufficient time to effectively fulfill their duties and responsibilities.

Each nominee has a significant record of accomplishments in governance, business, not-for-profit organizations, government service, academia, law, accounting or other professions. Although no single list could identify all experience upon which the Fund’s Independent Board members draw in connection with their service, the following table summarizes key experience for each nominee.

These references to the qualifications, attributes and skills of the nominees are pursuant to federal proxy disclosure requirements, and shall not be deemed to impose any greater responsibility or liability on any nominee, Board member or the Board as a whole. Notwithstanding the accomplishments listed below, none of the nominees is considered an “expert” within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to information in this Joint Proxy Statement.

1   An independent Board member refers to a board member who is not an “interested person” of the Fund within the meaning of the 1940 Act.

2   Amounts may be deferred by eligible Board members under a nonqualified deferred compensation plan adopted by the Fund. Deferred amounts accumulate at an earnings rate determined by the total return of one or more Funds as designated by the Board members. Compensation shown in this table for the most recent fiscal year does not include earnings on amounts deferred in previous fiscal years. Total compensation from all funds managed by CRMC or its affiliates.

3   Dollar range of Fund shares owned is made using the following ranges: None; $1 - $10,000; $10,001 - $50,000; $50,001 - $100,000 and Over $100,000. The amounts listed for interested Board members include shares owned through The Capital Group Companies, Inc. retirement plan and 401(k) plan. Aggregate dollar range of shares owned include all funds overseen by the Board member in the same family of investment companies as the Fund.

4   Nominee who was not an independent Board member of the Fund at the close of the most recent fiscal year end period; therefore, the nominee did not receive any compensation from the Fund during its most recent fiscal year.

5   An interested Board member refers to a board member who is an “interested person” of the Fund within the meaning of the 1940 Act on the basis of their affiliation with CRMC or affiliated entities.
