Within the same section, the following replaces the third paragraph under the subheading "3. Description of Compensation" on page B-55:

A portfolio manager's bonus is determined by a number of factors. For portfolio managers from Vanguard's Equity Index Group, one factor is gross, pre-tax performance of a fund relative to expectations for how the fund should have performed, given the fund's investment objective, policies, strategies, and limitations, and the market environment during the measurement period. This performance factor is not based on the amount of assets held in any individual fund's portfolio. For each Fund, the performance factor depends on how closely the portfolio manager in the Equity Index Group tracks the Fund's benchmark index over a one-year period. An additional factor for portfolio managers in the Equity Index Group is the portfolio manager's contributions to the investment management functions within the sub-asset class. For portfolio managers in the Equity Index Group and Investment Strategy Group, factors include the portfolio manager's overall contributions to strategic planning and decisions for the investment group, contributions to

the development of other investment professionals and supporting staff, and, in the case of the Investment Strategy Group only, contributions to long-term investor outcomes. The target bonus is expressed as a percentage of base salary. The actual bonus paid may be more or less than the target bonus, based on how well the manager satisfies the applicable objectives previously described. The bonus is paid on an annual basis.

Within the same section, the following is added under the subheading "4. Ownership of Securities" on page B-55:

As of December 31, 2022, Ms. Denis owned shares of Vanguard Target Retirement 2065 Fund within the

$10,001–$50,000 range and shares of Vanguard Target Retirement 2055 Fund within the $1–$10,000 range. As of December 31, 2022, Mr. Aliaga-Diaz and Mr. Roach did not own any shares of the Funds.
