[1] For Class A shares, a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1.00% applies on certain redemptions made within 18 months following purchases of $1 million or more made without an initial sales charge. For Class C shares, the CDSC is eliminated one year after purchase.
[2] "Other expenses" are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year; actual expenses may vary.
[3] Neuberger Berman Management LLC (NBM) has contractually undertaken to waive current payment of fees and/or reimburse certain expenses of Class A and Class C so that the total annual operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend expense on short sales, and extraordinary expenses, if any) of each class are limited to 1.21% and 1.96% of average net assets, respectively. Each of these undertakings lasts until 8/31/2016 and may not be terminated during its term without the consent of the Board of Trustees. The Fund has agreed that each of Class A and Class C will repay NBM for fees and expenses waived or reimbursed for the class provided that repayment does not cause annual operating expenses to exceed 1.21% and 1.96% of the class' average net assets, respectively. Any such repayment must be made within three years after the year in which NBM incurred the expense.
