SYNOPSIS

The following is a summary of certain information contained elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, in the Agreement, and/or in the Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information of Fidelity® Independence Fund and Fidelity® Magellan® Fund, which are incorporated herein by reference. Shareholders should read the entire Proxy Statement and the Prospectus of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund carefully for more complete information.

What proposal am I being asked to vote on?

As more fully described in “The Proposed Transaction” below, shareholders of Fidelity® Independence Fund are being asked to approve the Agreement relating to the proposed acquisition of Fidelity® Independence Fund by Fidelity® Magellan® Fund.

Shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 16, 2021 will be entitled to vote at the Meeting.

If the Agreement is approved by fund shareholders and the Reorganization occurs, each shareholder of Fidelity® Independence Fund will become a shareholder of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund instead. Fidelity® Independence Fund will transfer all of its assets to Fidelity® Magellan® Fund in exchange solely for shares of beneficial interest of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund and the assumption by Fidelity® Magellan® Fund of Fidelity® Independence Fund’s liabilities in complete liquidation of the fund. Each shareholder of Fidelity® Independence Fund will receive shares of the corresponding class of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund. The Reorganization is currently scheduled to take place as of the close of business of the NYSE on the Closing Date.

For more information, please refer to the section entitled “The Proposed Transaction – Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.”

Has the Board of Trustees approved the proposal?

Yes. The fund’s Board of Trustees has carefully reviewed the proposal and approved the Agreement and the Reorganization. The Board of Trustees unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favor of the Reorganization by approving the Agreement.

What are the reasons for the proposal?

The Board of Trustees considered the following factors, among others, in determining to recommend that shareholders vote in favor of the Reorganization by approving the Agreement:

 

   

The Reorganization will permit Fidelity® Independence Fund shareholders to pursue the same investment objective in a larger and more successful fund.

   

Fidelity® Independence Fund shareholders are expected to receive virtually the same investment exposure in a fund that is managed similarly by the same portfolio manager against the same benchmark and is more likely to grow over time.

Table of Contents
   

Fidelity® Independence Fund shareholders are expected to benefit from an expense reduction from spreading fixed costs over a larger asset base.

   

The Reorganization will qualify as a tax-free Reorganization for federal income tax purposes.

For more information, please refer to the section entitled “The Proposed Transaction – Reasons for the Reorganization.”

How will you determine the number of shares of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund that I will receive?

Although the number of shares you own will most likely change, the total value of your holdings will not change as a result of the Reorganization.

As provided in the Agreement, Fidelity® Independence Fund will distribute shares of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund to its shareholders so that each shareholder will receive the number of full and fractional shares of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund equal in value to the net asset value of shares of Fidelity® Independence Fund held by such shareholder on the Closing Date.

For more information, please refer to the section entitled “The Proposed Transaction – Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.”

What class of shares of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund will I receive?

Holders of Fidelity® Independence Fund (Retail Class) and Class K shares of Fidelity® Independence Fund will receive Fidelity® Magellan® Fund (Retail Class) and Class K shares of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund, respectively.

Is the Reorganization considered a taxable event for federal income tax purposes?

No. Each fund will receive an opinion of counsel that the Reorganization will not result in any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes to either fund or to the shareholders of either fund, except that Fidelity® Independence Fund may recognize gain or loss with respect to assets (if any) that are subject to “mark-to-market” tax accounting.

For more information, please refer to the section entitled “The Proposed Transaction – Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

How do the funds’ investment objectives, strategies, policies, and limitations compare?

The funds have the same investment objective. Each fund seeks capital appreciation. Each fund’s investment objective is non-fundamental and does not require shareholder approval to change.

As of January 1, 2020, FMR had approximately $2.6 trillion in discretionary assets under management, and as of December 31, 2019, approximately $3.2 trillion when combined with all of its affiliates’ assets under management.

As of December 31, 2019, FMR UK had approximately $23.9 billion in discretionary assets under management. As of December 31, 2019, FMR H.K. had approximately $16.5 billion in discretionary assets under management.

FMR is expected to continue serving as manager, and FMR UK, FMR H.K, and FMR Japan are expected to continue serving as sub-advisers of the combined fund after the Reorganization.

Sammy Simnegar is portfolio manager of Fidelity® Independence Fund and Fidelity® Magellan® Fund, both of which he has managed since February 2019. He also manages other funds. Since joining Fidelity Investments in 1998, Mr. Simnegar has worked as an equity research analyst and portfolio manager. Mr. Simnegar is expected to continue to be responsible for portfolio management of the combined fund after the Reorganization.

For information about the compensation of, any other accounts managed by, and any fund shares held by the portfolio manager(s), please refer to the “Management Contract(s)” section of each fund’s Statements of Additional Information, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Each fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant to which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.

Each of Fidelity® Independence Fund and Fidelity® Magellan® Fund pays a management fee to the Adviser. The management fee is calculated and paid to the Adviser every month. The fee is determined by calculating a basic fee and then applying a performance adjustment. The performance adjustment either increases or decreases the management fee, depending on how well the fund has performed relative to the S&P 500® Index. The basic fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund’s average net assets throughout the month. The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of a group of mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52%, and it drops as total assets under management increase. For September 2020, the group fee rate for Fidelity® Independence Fund and Fidelity® Magellan® Fund was 0.23%. The individual fund fee rate for Fidelity® Independence Fund and Fidelity® Magellan® Fund is 0.30%. The basic

Table of Contents

fee for the fiscal period ended September 30, 2020, for Fidelity® Independence Fund and Fidelity® Magellan® Fund was 0.53% of each fund’s average net assets.

The performance adjustment rate for Fidelity® Independence Fund and Fidelity® Magellan® Fund is calculated monthly by comparing over the performance period each fund’s performance to that of the S&P 500® Index.

For the purposes of calculating the performance adjustment for each fund, each fund’s investment performance will be based on the performance of the Retail Class. To the extent that other classes of the fund have higher expenses, this could result in those classes bearing a larger positive performance adjustment and smaller negative performance adjustment than would be the case if each class’s own performance were considered.

The performance period for each fund is the most recent 36 month period.

For Fidelity® Independence Fund and Fidelity® Magellan® Fund, each percentage point of difference, calculated to the nearest 0.01% (up to a maximum difference of ±10.00), is multiplied by a performance adjustment rate of 0.02%. The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is ±0.20% of the fund’s average net assets over the performance period.

The basis for the Board of Trustees approving the management contract and sub-advisory agreements for Fidelity® Independence Fund is available in the fund’s semi-annual report for the fiscal period ended May 31, 2020.

The basis for the Board of Trustees approving the management contract and sub-advisory agreements for Fidelity® Magellan® Fund is available in the fund’s annual report for the fiscal period ended March 31, 2020.

If the Reorganization is approved, the combined fund will retain Fidelity® Magellan® Fund’s management fee structure.

For more information about fund management, please refer to the “Fund Management” section of the funds’ Prospectuses, and to the “Control of Investment Advisers” and “Management Contract(s)” sections of the funds’ Statements of Additional Information, each of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Expense Arrangements

For more information about the funds’ fees and operating expenses, please refer to the funds’ Prospectuses, which are incorporated herein by reference, and to “Annual Fund and Class Operating Expenses” below.

If the proposed Reorganization is not approved, the fund will maintain its current expense structure.

Distribution of Fund Shares

The principal business address of FDC, each fund’s principal underwriter and distribution agent, is 900 Salem Street, Smithfield, Rhode Island, 02917.

Table of Contents

Each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) that recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. A fund’s Distribution and Service Plan does not authorize payments by the fund other than those that are to be made to FMR under the fund’s management contract.

If the Reorganization is approved, the Distribution and Service Plan for the combined fund will remain unchanged.

For more information about fund distribution, please refer to the “Fund Distribution” section of the funds’ Prospectuses, and to the “Distribution Services” section of the funds’ Statements of Additional Information, each of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Do the procedures for purchasing and redeeming shares of the funds differ?

Except as discussed below, the procedures for purchasing shares of the funds are the same.

On December 31, 2020, Fidelity® Independence Fund closed to new accounts pending the Reorganization. Shareholders of Fidelity® Independence Fund as of that date can continue to purchase shares of the fund. Shareholders of Fidelity® Independence Fund may redeem shares of the fund through the Closing Date of the fund’s Reorganization.

Aside from the closing of Fidelity® Independence Fund, the procedures for purchasing and redeeming shares of the funds are the same. If the Reorganization is approved, the procedures for purchasing and redeeming shares of the combined fund will remain unchanged.

For more information about the procedures for purchasing and redeeming the funds’ shares, including a description of the policies and procedures designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of fund shares, please refer to the “Additional Information about the Purchase and Sale of Shares” section of the funds’ Prospectuses, and to the “Buying, Selling, and Exchanging Information” section of the funds’ Statements of Additional Information, each of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Do the funds’ dividend and distribution policies differ?

The fund’s dividend and distribution policies differ. Fidelity® Independence Fund normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions in December, while Fidelity® Magellan® Fund normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions in May and December. If the Reorganization is approved, the dividend and distribution policies of the combined fund will be the same as the current dividend and distribution policies of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund.

On or before the Closing Date, Fidelity® Independence Fund may declare additional dividends or other distributions in order to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income and net realized capital gain.

Whether or not the Reorganization is approved, Fidelity® Independence Fund is required to recognize gain or loss on any assets subject to “mark-to-market” tax accounting held by the fund on the last day of its taxable year, which is November 30th. If the Reorganization is approved, gains or losses on such assets held on the Closing Date by Fidelity® Independence Fund may be required to be recognized on the Closing Date.

For more information about the funds’ dividend and distribution policies, please refer to the “Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions” section of the funds’ Prospectuses, and to the “Distributions and Taxes” section of the funds’ Statements of Additional Information, each of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Who bears the expenses associated with the Reorganization?

Fidelity® Independence Fund will bear the cost of the Reorganization.

COMPARISON OF PRINCIPAL RISK FACTORS

Many factors affect each fund’s performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as pandemics and epidemics, may magnify factors that affect a fund’s performance. A fund’s share price changes daily based on changes in market conditions and interest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. A fund’s reaction to these developments will be affected by the types of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund’s level of investment in the securities of that issuer. When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money by investing in a fund.

The following is a summary of the principal risks associated with an investment in the funds. Because the funds have identical investment objectives and substantially similar strategies as described above, the funds are subject to substantially similar

 

15


Table of Contents

investment risks. Because the funds have some different principal investment strategies as described above, the funds are also subject to some different investment risks, of which you should be aware.

What risks are associated with an investment in both of the funds?

Each fund is subject to the following principal risks:

 

   

Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.

   

Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.

   

Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole.

What additional risks are associated with an investment in Fidelity® Independence Fund?

Fidelity® Independence Fund is not subject to any principal risks which are not principal risks generally associated with an investment in Fidelity® Magellan® Fund.

What additional risks are associated with an investment in Fidelity® Magellan® Fund?

Fidelity® Magellan® Fund is subject to the following principal risk, which is not a principal risk generally associated with an investment in Fidelity® Independence Fund:

 

   

High Portfolio Turnover. High portfolio turnover (more than 100%) may result in increased transaction costs and potentially higher capital gains or losses. The effects of higher than normal portfolio turnover may adversely affect the fund’s performance.

For more information about the principal risks associated with an investment in the funds, please refer to the “Investment Details” section of the funds’ Prospectuses, and to the “Investment Policies and Limitations“ section of the funds’ Statements of Additional Information, each of which are incorporated herein by reference.

How do the funds compare in terms of their performance?

The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the funds. The information illustrates the changes in the performance of each fund’s shares from year to year and compares the performance of each fund’s shares to the performance of a securities market index over various periods of time. The index description appears in the “Additional Index Information” section of the funds’ Prospectuses. Past performance (before and after taxes, if applicable) is not an indication of future performance.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, but do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes. Actual after-tax returns may differ depending on your individual circumstances. The after-tax returns shown are not relevant if you hold your shares in a retirement account or in another tax-deferred arrangement, such as an employee benefit plan (profit sharing, 401(k), or 403(b) plan). Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than other returns for the same period due to a tax benefit of realizing a capital loss upon the sale of fund shares.

THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION

TO APPROVE AN AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION BETWEEN FIDELITY® INDEPENDENCE FUND AND FIDELITY® MAGELLAN® FUND.

Agreement and Plan of Reorganization

The terms and conditions under which the proposed transaction may be consummated are set forth in the Agreement. Significant provisions of the Agreement are summarized below; however, this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1 to this Proxy Statement.

The Agreement contemplates (a) Fidelity® Magellan® Fund acquiring as of the Closing Date all of the assets of Fidelity® Independence Fund in exchange solely for shares of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund and the assumption by Fidelity® Magellan® Fund of Fidelity® Independence Fund’s liabilities; and (b) the distribution of shares of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund to the shareholders of Fidelity® Independence Fund as provided for in the Agreement.

The value of Fidelity® Independence Fund’s assets to be acquired by Fidelity® Magellan® Fund and the amount of its liabilities to be assumed by Fidelity® Magellan® Fund will be determined as of the close of business of the NYSE on the Closing Date, using the valuation procedures set forth in Fidelity® Magellan® Fund’s then-current Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information. The net asset value of a share of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund will be determined as of the same time using the valuation procedures set forth in its then-current Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information.

As of the Closing Date, Fidelity® Magellan® Fund will deliver to Fidelity® Independence Fund, and Fidelity® Independence Fund will distribute to its shareholders of record, shares of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund so that each Fidelity® Independence Fund shareholder will receive the number of full and fractional shares of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund equal in value to the aggregate net asset value of shares of Fidelity® Independence Fund held by such shareholder on the Closing Date; Fidelity® Independence Fund will be liquidated as soon as practicable thereafter. Each Fidelity® Independence Fund shareholder’s account shall be credited with the respective pro rata number of full and fractional shares of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund due that shareholder. The net asset value per share of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund will be unchanged by the transaction. Thus, the Reorganization will not result in a dilution of any shareholder’s interest.

Any transfer taxes payable upon issuance of shares of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund in a name other than that of the registered holder of the shares on the books of Fidelity® Independence Fund as of that time shall be paid by the person to whom such shares are to be issued as a condition of such transfer. Any reporting responsibility of Fidelity® Independence Fund is and will continue to be its responsibility up to and including the Closing Date and such later date on which Fidelity® Independence Fund is liquidated.

Fidelity® Independence Fund will bear the cost of the Reorganization, including professional fees, expenses associated with the filing of registration statements, and the

 

20


Table of Contents

cost of soliciting proxies for the Meeting, which will consist principally of printing and mailing Prospectuses and the Proxy Statement, together with the cost of any supplementary solicitation.

All of the current investments of Fidelity® Independence Fund are permissible investments for Fidelity® Magellan® Fund. Nevertheless, if shareholders approve the Reorganization, FMR may sell certain securities held by the funds and purchase other securities. Any transaction costs associated with portfolio adjustments to Fidelity® Independence Fund and Fidelity® Magellan® Fund due to the Reorganization that occur prior to the Closing Date will be borne by Fidelity® Independence Fund and Fidelity® Magellan® Fund, respectively. Any transaction costs associated with portfolio adjustments to Fidelity® Independence Fund and Fidelity® Magellan® Fund due to the Reorganization that occur after the Closing Date and any additional merger-related costs attributable to Fidelity® Magellan® Fund that occur after the Closing Date will be borne by Fidelity® Magellan® Fund. The funds may recognize a taxable gain or loss on the disposition of securities pursuant to these portfolio adjustments. However, any costs of repositioning Fidelity® Independence Fund’s portfolio in preparation for the Reorganization are expected to be minimal because the funds have substantially similar portfolio holdings.

The consummation of the Reorganization is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Agreement, some of which may be waived by a fund. In addition, the Agreement may be amended in any mutually agreeable manner, except that no amendment that may have a materially adverse effect on Fidelity® Independence Fund shareholders’ interests may be made subsequent to the Meeting.

Reasons for the Reorganization

In determining whether to approve the Reorganization, each fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) considered a number of factors, including the following:

 

  (1)

the compatibility of the investment objectives, strategies, and policies of the funds;

 

  (2)

the historical performance of the funds;

 

  (3)

the fees and expenses and the relative expense ratios of the funds;

 

  (4)

the potential benefit of the Reorganization to shareholders of the funds;

 

  (5)

the costs to be incurred by each fund as a result of the Reorganization;

 

  (6)

the tax consequences of the Reorganization;

 

  (7)

the relative size of the funds;

 

  (8)

the elimination of duplicative funds; and

 

  (9)

the potential benefit of the Reorganization to FMR and its affiliates.

FMR proposed the Reorganization to each fund’s Board at a meeting of the Board held on November 18, 2020. In proposing the Reorganization, FMR advised the Board

 

21


Table of Contents

that the Reorganization would permit Fidelity® Independence Fund’s shareholders to pursue the same investment objective in a larger and more successful fund. The Board considered that Fidelity® Independence Fund’s shareholders can get virtually the same investment exposure in a fund that is managed similarly by the same portfolio manager against the same benchmark, and that is more likely to grow over time. The Board also considered that Fidelity® Independence Fund’s shareholders are expected to benefit from an expense reduction (excluding and including performance adjustments) from spreading fixed costs over a larger asset base. The Board also considered that the Reorganization will qualify as a tax-free exchange for federal income tax purposes.

Each fund’s Board carefully reviewed the proposal and determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the shareholders of each fund and that the Reorganization will not result in a dilution of the interests of the shareholders of either fund.

Description of the Securities to be Issued

Holders of Fidelity® Independence Fund (Retail Class) and Class K shares of Fidelity® Independence Fund will receive, respectively, Fidelity® Magellan® Fund (Retail Class) and Class K shares of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund.

Fidelity® Magellan® Fund is a series of Fidelity Magellan Fund. The Trustees of Fidelity Magellan Fund are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series. Each share of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund represents an equal proportionate interest with each other share of the fund, and each such share of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund is entitled to equal voting, dividend, liquidation, and redemption rights. Each shareholder of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund is entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value of the fund that shareholder owns, with fractional dollar amounts entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. Shares of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund have no preemptive rights. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set forth in the “Description of the Trust – Shareholder Liability” section of the fund’s Statements of Additional Information, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Fidelity Magellan Fund does not hold annual meetings of shareholders. There will normally be no meetings of shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees unless less than a majority of the Trustees holding office have been elected by shareholders, at which time the Trustees then in office will call a shareholder meeting for the election of Trustees. Under the 1940 Act, shareholders of record of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of an investment company may remove a Trustee by votes cast in person or by proxy at a meeting called for that purpose. The Trustees are required to call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the question of removal of any Trustee when requested in writing to do so by the shareholders of record holding at least 10% of the trust’s outstanding shares.

For more information about voting rights and dividend rights, please refer to the “Description of the Trust – Voting Rights” and the “Distributions and Taxes” sections, respectively, of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund’s Statements of Additional Information, which

 

22


Table of Contents

are incorporated herein by reference. For more information about redemption rights and exchange privileges, please refer to the “Additional Information about the Purchase and Sale of Shares” and the “Exchanging Shares” sections, respectively, of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund’s Prospectuses, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Federal Income Tax Considerations

The exchange of Fidelity® Independence Fund’s assets for Fidelity® Magellan® Fund’s shares and the assumption of the liabilities of Fidelity® Independence Fund by Fidelity® Magellan® Fund is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free Reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). With respect to the Reorganization, Fidelity® Independence Fund and Fidelity® Magellan® Fund will receive an opinion from Dechert LLP, counsel to each fund, substantially to the effect that:

 

  (i)

The acquisition by Fidelity® Magellan® Fund of substantially all of the assets of Fidelity® Independence Fund in exchange solely for Fidelity® Magellan® Fund shares and the assumption by Fidelity® Magellan® Fund of all liabilities of Fidelity® Independence Fund followed by the distribution of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund shares to the Fidelity® Independence Fund shareholders in exchange for their Fidelity® Independence Fund shares in complete liquidation and termination of Fidelity® Independence Fund will constitute a tax-free Reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code;

 

  (ii)

Fidelity® Independence Fund will recognize no gain or loss upon the transfer of substantially all of its assets to Fidelity® Magellan® Fund in exchange solely for Fidelity® Magellan® Fund shares and the assumption by Fidelity® Magellan® Fund of all liabilities of Fidelity® Independence Fund, except that Fidelity® Independence Fund may be required to recognize gain or loss with respect to contracts described in Section 1256(b) of the Code or stock in a passive foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297(a) of the Code;

 

  (iii)

Fidelity® Independence Fund will recognize no gain or loss upon the distribution to its shareholders of the Fidelity® Magellan® Fund shares received by Fidelity® Independence Fund in the Reorganization;

 

  (iv)

Fidelity® Magellan® Fund will recognize no gain or loss upon the receipt of the assets of Fidelity® Independence Fund in exchange solely for Fidelity® Magellan® Fund shares and the assumption of all liabilities of Fidelity® Independence Fund;

 

  (v)

The adjusted basis to Fidelity® Magellan® Fund of the assets of Fidelity® Independence Fund received by Fidelity® Magellan® Fund in the Reorganization will be the same as the adjusted basis of those assets in the hands of Fidelity® Independence Fund immediately before the exchange;

 

  (vi)

Fidelity® Magellan® Fund’s holding periods with respect to the assets of Fidelity® Independence Fund that Fidelity® Magellan® Fund acquires in the Reorganization will include the respective periods for which those assets were

 

23


Table of Contents
  held by Fidelity® Independence Fund (except where investment activities of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund have the effect of reducing or eliminating a holding period with respect to an asset);

 

  (vii)

The Fidelity® Independence Fund shareholders will recognize no gain or loss upon receiving Fidelity® Magellan® Fund shares in exchange solely for Fidelity® Independence Fund shares;

 

  (viii)

The aggregate basis of the Fidelity® Magellan® Fund shares received by a Fidelity® Independence Fund shareholder in the Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate basis of the Fidelity® Independence Fund shares surrendered by the Fidelity® Independence Fund shareholder in exchange therefor; and

 

  (ix)

A Fidelity® Independence Fund shareholder’s holding period for the Fidelity® Magellan® Fund shares received by the Fidelity® Independence Fund shareholder in the Reorganization will include the holding period during which the Fidelity® Independence Fund shareholder held Fidelity® Independence Fund shares surrendered in exchange therefor, provided that the Fidelity® Independence Fund shareholder held such shares as a capital asset on the date of the Reorganization.

Because Fidelity® Independence Fund and Fidelity® Magellan® Fund have very similar net unrealized gain amounts (as a percentage of net assets) and very similar holdings as of November 30, 2020, the Reorganization is not expected to result in a significant shift in exposure to future capital gain distributions for Fidelity® Independence Fund or Fidelity® Magellan® Fund shareholders.

The Reorganization could trigger tax rules that would impose an annual limit on Fidelity® Magellan® Fund’s ability to use Fidelity® Independence Fund’s net realized and/or net unrealized losses (if any at the time of the Reorganization) to offset fund gains following the Reorganization. As of November 30, 2020, Fidelity® Independence Fund did not have net realized and/or unrealized losses, although it is possible Fidelity® Independence Fund could have such losses by the date of the Reorganization.

The table below shows each fund’s approximate net assets, net realized gains/losses (including capital loss carryforwards) and net unrealized gains/losses as of November 30, 2020. The actual impact of the Reorganization on the funds’ losses and on future capital gain distributions will depend on each fund’s net assets, net realized gains/losses and net unrealized gains/losses at the time of the Reorganization, as well as the timing and amount of gains and losses realized by Fidelity® Magellan® Fund following the Reorganization, and thus cannot be determined precisely at this time.

Shareholders of Fidelity® Independence Fund should consult their tax advisers regarding the effect, if any, of the proposed Reorganization in light of their individual circumstances. Because the foregoing discussion relates only to the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, those shareholders also should consult their tax advisers as to state and local tax consequences, if any, of the Reorganization.

Forms of Organization

Fidelity® Independence Fund is a diversified series of Fidelity Financial Trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 20, 1982. Fidelity® Magellan® Fund is a diversified series of Fidelity Magellan Fund, an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on June 25, 1984. The trusts are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Because the funds are series of Massachusetts business trusts, governed by substantially similar Declarations of Trust, the rights of the security holders of Fidelity® Independence Fund under state law and the governing documents are expected to remain unchanged after the Reorganization.

For more information regarding shareholder rights, please refer to the “Description of the Trust(s)” section of the funds’ Statements of Additional Information, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Operations of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund Following the Reorganization

FMR does not expect Fidelity® Magellan® Fund to revise its investment policies as a result of the Reorganization. In addition, FMR does not anticipate significant changes to Fidelity® Magellan® Fund’s management or to entities that provide the fund with services. Specifically, the Trustees and officers, the investment adviser, distributor, and other entities will continue to serve Fidelity® Magellan® Fund in their current capacities. Sammy Simnegar, who is currently the portfolio manager of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund and Fidelity® Independence Fund, is expected to continue to be responsible for portfolio management of the combined fund after the Reorganization.

The table above assumes that the Reorganization occurred on January 31, 2021. The table is for information purposes only. No assurance can be given as to how many Fidelity® Magellan® Fund shares will be received by shareholders of Fidelity® Independence Fund on the date that the Reorganization takes place, and the foregoing should not be relied upon to reflect the number of shares of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund that actually will be received on or after that date.

Conclusion

The Agreement and the Reorganization were approved by the Board of Trustees of Fidelity Financial Trust and Fidelity Magellan Fund at a meeting held on November 18, 2020. The Board of Trustees determined that the proposed Reorganization is in the best interests of shareholders of Fidelity® Independence Fund and Fidelity® Magellan® Fund and that the interests of existing shareholders of Fidelity® Independence Fund and Fidelity® Magellan® Fund would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. In the event that the Reorganization does not occur, Fidelity® Independence Fund will continue to engage in business as a fund of a registered investment company.

The Board of Trustees of Fidelity® Independence Fund unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favor of the Reorganization by approving the Agreement.

VOTING INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies; Expenses

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with a solicitation of proxies made by, and on behalf of, the trust’s Board of Trustees to be used at the Meeting. The purpose of the Meeting is set forth in the accompanying Notice.

The solicitation is being made primarily by the mailing of this Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card on or about February 16, 2021. Supplementary solicitations may be made by mail, telephone, facsimile or electronic means, or by personal interview by representatives of the trust. In addition, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge) may be paid on a per-call basis to solicit shareholders by telephone on behalf of Fidelity® Independence Fund at an anticipated cost of approximately $10,800. Fidelity® Independence Fund may also arrange to have votes recorded by telephone. Broadridge may be paid on a per-call basis for vote-by-phone solicitations on behalf of Fidelity® Independence Fund at an anticipated cost of approximately $2,700.

If the fund records votes by telephone or through the internet, it will use procedures designed to authenticate shareholders’ identities, to allow shareholders to authorize the voting of their shares in accordance with their instructions, and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded. Proxies voted by telephone or through the internet may be revoked at any time before they are voted in the same manner that proxies voted by mail may be revoked.

The expenses in connection with preparing this Proxy Statement and its enclosures and all solicitations will be paid by Fidelity® Independence Fund.

The fund will reimburse brokerage firms and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation material to the beneficial owners of shares. The costs are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of a fund based on the net assets of each class relative to the total net assets of the fund.

Record Date; Quorum; and Method of Tabulation

Shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 16, 2021 will be entitled to vote at the Meeting. Each such shareholder will be entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value held as of that date, with fractional dollar amounts entitled to a proportional fractional vote.

If the enclosed proxy card is executed and returned, or an internet or telephonic vote is delivered, that vote may nevertheless be revoked at any time prior to its use by written notification received by the trust, by the execution of a later–dated proxy card, by the trust’s receipt of a subsequent valid telephonic or internet vote, or by attending the Meeting and voting.

All proxies solicited by the Board of Trustees that are properly executed and received by the Secretary prior to the Meeting, and that are not revoked, will be voted at the Meeting. Shares represented by such proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon. If no specification is made on a properly executed proxy card, it will be voted FOR the matters specified on the proxy card. All shares that are voted and votes to ABSTAIN will be counted toward establishing a quorum.

With respect to fund shares held in Fidelity individual retirement accounts (including Traditional, Rollover, SEP, SAR-SEP, Roth and SIMPLE IRAs), the IRA Custodian will vote those shares for which it has received instructions from shareholders only in accordance with such instructions. If Fidelity IRA shareholders do not vote their shares, the IRA Custodian will vote their shares for them, in the same proportion as other Fidelity IRA shareholders have voted.

One-third of the fund’s outstanding voting securities entitled to vote constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting. If a quorum is not present, or if a quorum is present but sufficient votes to approve the proposal are not received, or if other matters arise requiring shareholder attention, the persons named as proxy agents may propose one or more adjournments to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares present or represented by proxy. When voting on a proposed adjournment, the persons named as proxy agents will vote FOR the proposed adjournment all shares that they are entitled to vote FOR the proposal, unless directed to vote AGAINST the proposal, in which case such shares will be voted AGAINST the proposed adjournment.

FMR has advised the trust that certain shares are registered to FMR or an FMR affiliate. To the extent that FMR or an FMR affiliate has discretion to vote, these shares will be voted at the Meeting FOR the proposal. Otherwise, these shares will be voted in accordance with the plan or agreement governing the shares. Although the terms of the plans and agreements vary, generally the shares must be voted either (i) in accordance with instructions received from shareholders or (ii) in accordance with instructions received from shareholders and, for shareholders who do not vote, in the same proportion as certain other shareholders have voted.

Let’s say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that your shareholder fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here’s how much you would pay in total expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated:

Portfolio Turnover

The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 106% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

 

   

Normally investing primarily in common stocks.

 

   

Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.

 

   

Investing in either “growth” stocks or “value” stocks or both.

 

   

Using fundamental analysis of factors such as each issuer’s financial condition and industry position, as well as market and economic conditions, to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks

 

   

Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.

 

   

Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.

 

   

Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole.

 

   

High Portfolio Turnover. High portfolio turnover (more than 100%) may result in increased transaction costs and potentially higher capital gains or losses. The effects of higher than normal portfolio turnover may adversely affect the fund’s performance.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. You could lose money by investing in the fund.

Performance

The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the fund. The information illustrates the changes in the performance of the fund’s shares from year to year and compares the performance of the fund’s shares to the performance of a securities market index over various periods of time. The index description appears in the “Additional Index Information” section of the prospectus. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not an indication of future performance.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

The fund, the Adviser, Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), and/or their affiliates may pay intermediaries, which may include banks, broker-dealers, retirement plan sponsors, administrators, or service-providers (who may be affiliated with the Adviser or FDC), for the sale of fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing your intermediary and your investment professional to recommend the fund over another investment. Ask your investment professional or visit your intermediary’s web site for more information.

Fund Basics

Investment Details

Investment Objective

Fidelity® Magellan® Fund seeks capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Adviser normally invests the fund’s assets primarily in common stocks.

The Adviser may invest the fund’s assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

The Adviser is not constrained by any particular investment style. At any given time, the Adviser may tend to buy “growth” stocks or “value” stocks, or a combination of both types. In buying and selling securities for the fund, the Adviser relies on fundamental analysis, which involves a bottom-up assessment of a company’s potential for success in light of factors including its financial condition, earnings outlook, strategy, management, industry position, and economic and market conditions.

If the Adviser’s strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Description of Principal Security Types

Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants.

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect the fund’s performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as pandemics and epidemics, may magnify factors that affect a fund’s performance. The fund’s share price changes daily based on changes in market conditions and interest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. The fund’s reaction to these developments will be affected by the types of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund’s level of investment in the securities of that issuer. When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money by investing in the fund.

The following factors can significantly affect the fund’s performance:

Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. Fluctuations, especially in foreign markets, can be dramatic over the short as well as long term, and different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of equity securities can react differently to these

Table of Contents

developments. For example, stocks of companies in one sector can react differently from those in another, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, and “growth” stocks can react differently from “value” stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole. Changes in the financial condition of a single issuer can impact the market as a whole. Terrorism and related geo-political risks have led, and may in the future lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and markets generally.

Foreign Exposure. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.

Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers or providers in, or foreign exchange rates with, a different country or region.

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security’s or instrument’s value. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.

High Portfolio Turnover. A fund may engage in active and frequent trading of its portfolio securities. High portfolio turnover (more than 100%) may result in increased transaction costs to a fund, including brokerage commissions, dealer mark-ups, and other transaction costs on the sale of securities or reinvestment in other securities. The sale of a fund’s securities may result in the realization and/or distribution to shareholders of higher capital gains or losses as compared to a fund with less active trading policies. These effects of higher than normal portfolio turnover may adversely affect a fund’s performance.

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, a fund may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the fund does so, different factors could affect its performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Other Investment Strategies

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, the Adviser may lend the fund’s securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

The Adviser may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund’s exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values.

Fundamental Investment Policies

The following is fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval:

Fidelity® Magellan® Fund seeks capital appreciation through investments in securities of domestic, foreign, and multinational issuers. The fund normally invests primarily in common stock and securities convertible into common stock, but may also invest in other types of securities in seeking its objective. No more than 40% of the fund’s assets may be invested in companies operating exclusively in any one foreign country. No emphasis is placed on dividend income except when the Adviser believes this income will have a favorable influence on the market value of the security.

Table of Contents

Valuing Shares

The fund is open for business each day the NYSE is open.

The NAV is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The fund’s assets normally are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing NAV. Fidelity calculates NAV separately for each class of shares of a multiple class fund.

NAV is not calculated and the fund will not process purchase and redemption requests submitted on days when the fund is not open for business. The time at which shares are priced and until which purchase and redemption orders are accepted may be changed as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

To the extent that the fund’s assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund’s assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of the fund’s assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.

NAV is calculated using the values of other open-end funds, if any, in which the fund invests (referred to as underlying funds). Shares of underlying funds are valued at their respective NAVs. Other assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service are not readily available or, in the Adviser’s opinion, are deemed unreliable for a security, then that security will be fair valued in good faith by the Adviser in accordance with applicable fair value pricing policies. For example, if, in the Adviser’s opinion, a security’s value has been materially affected by events occurring before a fund’s pricing time but after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, then that security will be fair valued in good faith by the Adviser in accordance with applicable fair value pricing policies. Fair value pricing will be used for high yield debt securities when available pricing information is determined to be stale or for other reasons not to accurately reflect fair value.

Arbitrage opportunities may exist when trading in a portfolio security or securities is halted and does not resume before a fund calculates its NAV. These arbitrage opportunities may enable short-term traders to dilute the NAV of long-term investors. Securities trading in overseas markets present time zone arbitrage opportunities when events affecting portfolio security values occur after the close of the overseas markets but prior to the close of the U.S. market. Fair valuation of a fund’s portfolio securities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent dilution of NAV by short-term traders.

Policies regarding excessive trading may not be effective to prevent short-term NAV arbitrage trading, particularly in regard to omnibus accounts.

Fair value pricing is based on subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value of a security may differ materially from the value that would be realized if the security were sold.

General Information

Information on Fidelity

Fidelity Investments was established in 1946 to manage one of America’s first mutual funds. Today, Fidelity is one of the world’s largest providers of financial services.

In addition to its mutual fund business, the company operates one of America’s leading brokerage firms, Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC. Fidelity is also a leader in providing tax-advantaged retirement plans for individuals investing on their own or through their employer.

Ways to Invest

Subject to the purchase and sale requirements stated in this prospectus, you may buy or sell shares through a Fidelity® brokerage account or a Fidelity® mutual fund account. If you buy or sell shares (other than by exchange) through a Fidelity® brokerage account, your transactions generally involve your Fidelity® brokerage core (a settlement vehicle included as part of your Fidelity® brokerage account).

If you do not currently have a Fidelity® brokerage account or a Fidelity® mutual fund account and would like to invest in a fund, you may need to complete an application. For more information about a Fidelity® brokerage account or a Fidelity® mutual fund account, please visit Fidelity’s web site at www.fidelity.com, call 1-800-FIDELITY, or visit a Fidelity Investor Center (call 1-800-544-9797 for the center nearest you).

You may also buy or sell shares through a retirement account (such as an IRA or an account funded through salary deduction) or an investment professional. Retirement specialists are available at 1-800-544-4774 to answer your questions about Fidelity® retirement products. If you buy or sell shares through a retirement account or an investment professional, the procedures for buying, selling, and exchanging shares and the account features, policies, and fees may differ from those discussed in this prospectus. Fees in addition to those discussed in this prospectus may apply. For example, you may be charged a transaction fee if you buy or sell shares through a non-Fidelity broker or other investment professional.

Information on Placing Orders

You should include the following information with any order:

 

   

Your name

 

   

Your account number

 

   

Type of transaction requested

 

   

Name(s) of fund(s) and class(es)

 

   

Dollar amount or number of shares

Certain methods of contacting Fidelity may be unavailable or delayed (for example, during periods of unusual market activity). In addition, the level and type of service available may be restricted.

Frequent Purchases and Redemptions

The fund may reject for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase or exchange, including transactions deemed to represent excessive trading, at any time.

Excessive trading of fund shares can harm shareholders in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term shareholders by increasing costs to the fund (such as brokerage commissions or spreads paid to dealers who sell money market instruments), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund’s NAV.

 

10


Table of Contents

The fund reserves the right at any time to restrict purchases or exchanges or impose conditions that are more restrictive on excessive trading than those stated in this prospectus.

Excessive Trading Policy

The Board of Trustees has adopted policies designed to discourage excessive trading of fund shares. Excessive trading activity in a fund is measured by the number of roundtrip transactions in a shareholder’s account and each class of a multiple class fund is treated separately. A roundtrip transaction occurs when a shareholder sells fund shares (including exchanges) within 30 days of the purchase date.

Shareholders with two or more roundtrip transactions in a single fund within a rolling 90-day period will be blocked from making additional purchases or exchange purchases of the fund for 85 days. Shareholders with four or more roundtrip transactions across all Fidelity® funds within any rolling 12-month period will be blocked for at least 85 days from additional purchases or exchange purchases across all Fidelity® funds. Any roundtrip within 12 months of the expiration of a multi-fund block will initiate another multi-fund block. Repeat offenders may be subject to long-term or permanent blocks on purchase or exchange purchase transactions in any account under the shareholder’s control at any time. In addition to enforcing these roundtrip limitations, the fund may in its discretion restrict, reject, or cancel any purchases or exchanges that, in the Adviser’s opinion, may be disruptive to the management of the fund or otherwise not be in the fund’s interests.

Exceptions

The following transactions are exempt from the fund’s excessive trading policy described above: (i) transactions of $1,000 or less, (ii) systematic withdrawal and/or contribution programs, (iii) mandatory retirement distributions, and (iv) transactions initiated by a plan sponsor or sponsors of certain employee benefit plans or other related accounts. In addition, the fund’s excessive trading policy does not apply to transactions initiated by the trustee or adviser to a donor-advised charitable gift fund, qualified fund of fund(s), or other strategy funds. A qualified fund of fund(s) is a mutual fund, qualified tuition program, or other strategy fund consisting of qualified plan assets that either applies the fund’s excessive trading policies to shareholders at the fund of fund(s) level, or demonstrates that the fund of fund(s) has an investment strategy coupled with policies designed to control frequent trading that are reasonably likely to be effective as determined by the fund’s Treasurer.

Omnibus Accounts

Omnibus accounts, in which shares are held in the name of an intermediary on behalf of multiple investors, are a common form of holding shares among retirement plans and financial intermediaries such as brokers, advisers, and third-party administrators. Individual trades in omnibus accounts are often not disclosed to the fund, making it difficult to determine whether a particular shareholder is engaging in excessive trading. Excessive trading in omnibus accounts is likely to go undetected by the fund and may increase costs to the fund and disrupt its portfolio management.

Under policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, intermediaries will be permitted to apply the fund’s excessive trading policy (described above), or their own excessive trading policy if approved by the Adviser. In these cases, the fund will typically not request or receive individual account data but will rely on the intermediary to monitor trading activity in good faith in accordance with its or the fund’s policies. Reliance on intermediaries increases the risk that excessive trading may go undetected. For other intermediaries, the fund will generally monitor trading activity at the omnibus account level to attempt to identify disruptive trades. The fund may request transaction information, as frequently as daily, from any intermediary at any time, and may apply the fund’s policy to transactions that exceed thresholds established by the Board of Trustees. The fund may prohibit purchases of fund shares by an intermediary or by some or all of any intermediary’s clients. There is no assurance that the Adviser will request data with sufficient frequency to detect or deter excessive trading in omnibus accounts effectively.

 

11


Table of Contents

If you purchase or sell fund shares through a financial intermediary, you may wish to contact the intermediary to determine the policies applicable to your account.

Retirement Plans

For employer-sponsored retirement plans, only participant directed exchanges count toward the roundtrip limits. Employer-sponsored retirement plan participants whose activity triggers a purchase or exchange block will be permitted one trade every calendar quarter. In the event of a block, employer and participant contributions and loan repayments by the participant may still be invested in the fund.

Qualified Wrap Programs

The fund will monitor aggregate trading activity of adviser transactions to attempt to identify excessive trading in qualified wrap programs, as defined below. Excessive trading by an adviser will lead to fund blocks and the wrap program will lose its qualified status. Transactions of an adviser will not be matched with client-directed transactions unless the wrap program ceases to be a qualified wrap program (but all client-directed transactions will be subject to the fund’s excessive trading policy).

A qualified wrap program is: (i) a program whose adviser certifies that it has investment discretion over $100 million or more in client assets invested in mutual funds at the time of the certification, (ii) a program in which the adviser directs transactions in the accounts participating in the program in concert with changes in a model portfolio, and (iii) managed by an adviser who agrees to give the Adviser sufficient information to permit the Adviser to identify the individual accounts in the wrap program.

Other Information about the Excessive Trading Policy

The fund’s Treasurer is authorized to suspend the fund’s policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. The fund reserves the right to modify its policies at any time without prior notice.

The fund does not knowingly accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares by investors, except to the extent permitted by the policies described above.

As described in “Valuing Shares,” the fund also uses fair value pricing to help reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders. There is no assurance that the fund’s excessive trading policy will be effective, or will successfully detect or deter excessive or disruptive trading.

Buying Shares

Eligibility

Shares are generally available only to investors residing in the United States.

There is no minimum balance or purchase minimum for fund shares.

Price to Buy

The price to buy one share is its NAV. Shares are sold without a sales charge.

Shares will be bought at the NAV next calculated after an order is received in proper form.

 

12


Table of Contents

The fund has authorized certain intermediaries to accept orders to buy shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be bought at the NAV next calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary. If applicable, orders by funds of funds for which Fidelity serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.

The fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

If your payment is not received and collected, your purchase may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees the fund or Fidelity has incurred.

Certain financial institutions that have entered into sales agreements with FDC may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to follow no later than the time when fund shares are priced on the following business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the financial institution could be held liable for resulting fees or losses.

Under applicable anti-money laundering rules and other regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.

Selling Shares

The price to sell one share is its NAV.

Shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after an order is received in proper form. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect the fund.

The fund has authorized certain intermediaries to accept orders to sell shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary. If applicable, orders by funds of funds for which Fidelity serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.

See “Policies Concerning the Redemption of Fund Shares” below for additional redemption information.

A signature guarantee is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. If you hold your shares in a Fidelity® mutual fund account and submit your request to Fidelity by mail, Fidelity may require that your request be made in writing and include a signature guarantee in certain circumstances, such as:

 

   

When you wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares.

 

   

When the address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 days or you are requesting that a check be mailed to an address different than the record address.

 

   

When you are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner.

 

   

In certain situations when the redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity® mutual fund account with a different registration.

You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker (including Fidelity® Investor Centers), dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.

 

13


Table of Contents

When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:

 

   

Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected.

 

   

Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.

 

   

Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if the Adviser determines it is in the best interests of the fund.

 

   

You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.

 

   

If you hold your shares in a Fidelity® mutual fund account and your redemption check remains uncashed for six months, the check may be invested in additional shares at the NAV next calculated on the day of the investment.

 

   

Under applicable anti-money laundering rules and other regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

Policies Concerning the Redemption of Fund Shares

If your account is held directly with a fund, the length of time that a fund typically expects to pay redemption proceeds depends on the method you have elected to receive such proceeds. A fund typically expects to make payment of redemption proceeds by wire, automated clearing house (ACH) or by issuing a check by the next business day following receipt of a redemption order in proper form. Proceeds from the periodic and automatic sale of shares of a Fidelity® money market fund that are used to buy shares of another Fidelity® fund are settled simultaneously.

If your account is held through an intermediary, the length of time that a fund typically expects to pay redemption proceeds depends, in part, on the terms of the agreement in place between the intermediary and a fund. For redemption proceeds that are paid either directly to you from a fund or to your intermediary for transmittal to you, a fund typically expects to make payments by wire, by ACH or by issuing a check on the next business day following receipt of a redemption order in proper form from the intermediary by a fund. Redemption orders that are processed through investment professionals that utilize the National Securities Clearing Corporation will generally settle one to three business days following receipt of a redemption order in proper form.

As noted elsewhere, payment of redemption proceeds may take longer than the time a fund typically expects and may take up to seven days from the date of receipt of the redemption order as permitted by applicable law.

Redemption Methods Available. Generally a fund expects to pay redemption proceeds in cash. To do so, a fund typically expects to satisfy redemption requests either by using available cash (or cash equivalents) or by selling portfolio securities. On a less regular basis, a fund may also satisfy redemption requests by utilizing one or more of the following sources, if permitted: borrowing from another Fidelity® fund; drawing on an available line or lines of credit from a bank or banks; or using reverse repurchase agreements. These methods may be used during both normal and stressed market conditions.

In addition to paying redemption proceeds in cash, a fund reserves the right to pay part or all of your redemption proceeds in readily marketable securities instead of cash (redemption in-kind). Redemption in-kind proceeds will typically be made by delivering the selected securities to the redeeming shareholder within seven days after the receipt of the redemption order in proper form by a fund.

Exchanging Shares

An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.

As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares for shares of other Fidelity® funds.

However, you should note the following policies and restrictions governing exchanges:

 

   

The exchange limit may be modified for accounts held by certain institutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange limits and Department of Labor regulations. See your retirement plan materials for further information.

 

   

The fund may refuse any exchange purchase for any reason. For example, the fund may refuse exchange purchases by any person or group if, in the Adviser’s judgment, the fund would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.

 

   

Before any exchange, read the prospectus for the shares you are purchasing, including any purchase and sale requirements.

 

   

The shares you are acquiring by exchange must be available for sale in your state.

 

   

Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.

 

   

If you are exchanging between accounts that are not registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number (TIN), there may be additional requirements.

 

   

Under applicable anti-money laundering rules and other regulations, exchange requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

The fund may terminate or modify exchange privileges in the future.

Other funds may have different exchange restrictions and minimums. Check each fund’s prospectus for details.

Policies

The following apply to you as a shareholder.

Statements that Fidelity sends to you, if applicable, include the following:

 

   

Confirmation statements (after transactions affecting your fund balance except, to the extent applicable, reinvestment of distributions in the fund or another fund and certain transactions through automatic investment or withdrawal programs).

 

   

Monthly or quarterly account statements (detailing fund balances and all transactions completed during the prior month or quarter).

Current regulations allow Fidelity to send a single copy of shareholder documents for Fidelity® funds, such as prospectuses, annual and semi-annual reports, and proxy materials, to certain mutual fund customers whom we believe are members of the same family who share the same address. For certain types of accounts, we will not send multiple copies of these documents to you and members of your family who share the same address. Instead, we will send only a single copy of these documents. This will continue for as long as you are a shareholder, unless you notify us otherwise. If at any time you choose to receive individual copies of any documents, please call 1-800-544-8544. We will begin sending individual copies to you within 30 days of receiving your call.

Electronic copies of most financial reports and prospectuses are available at Fidelity’s web site. To participate in Fidelity’s electronic delivery program, call Fidelity or visit Fidelity’s web site for more information.

You may initiate many transactions by telephone or electronically. Fidelity will not be responsible for any loss, cost, expense, or other liability resulting from unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements upon receipt and notify Fidelity immediately of any discrepancies in your account activity. If you do not want the ability to sell and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions.

You may also be asked to provide additional information in order for Fidelity to verify your identity in accordance with requirements under anti-money laundering regulations. Accounts may be restricted and/or closed, and the monies withheld, pending verification of this information or as otherwise required under these and other federal regulations. In addition, the fund reserves the right to involuntarily redeem an account in the case of: (i) actual or suspected threatening conduct or actual or suspected fraudulent, illegal or suspicious activity by the account owner or any other individual associated with the account; or (ii) the failure of the account owner to provide information to the fund related to opening the accounts. Your shares will be sold at the NAV, minus any applicable shareholder fees, calculated on the day Fidelity closes your fund position.

Fidelity may charge a fee for certain services, such as providing historical account documents.

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

The fund earns dividends, interest, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. The fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.

The fund normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions in May and December.

Table of Contents

Distribution Options

When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to receive your distributions. The following distribution options are available:

1. Reinvestment Option. Any dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned this option.

2. Income-Earned Option. Any capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares. Any dividends will be paid in cash.

3. Cash Option. Any dividends and capital gain distributions will be paid in cash.

4. Directed Dividends® Option. Any dividends will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity® fund. Any capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity® fund, automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund, or paid in cash.

Not all distribution options may be available for every account and certain restrictions may apply. If the distribution option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current distribution option, visit Fidelity’s web site at www.fidelity.com or call 1-800-544-6666 for more information.

If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.

If your dividend check(s) remains uncashed for six months, your check(s) may be invested in additional shares at the NAV next calculated on the day of the investment.

Tax Consequences

As with any investment, your investment in the fund could have tax consequences for you. If you are not investing through a tax-advantaged retirement account, you should consider these tax consequences.

Taxes on Distributions

Distributions you receive from the fund are subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes.

For federal tax purposes, certain of the fund’s distributions, including dividends and distributions of short-term capital gains, are taxable to you as ordinary income, while certain of the fund’s distributions, including distributions of long-term capital gains, are taxable to you generally as capital gains. A percentage of certain distributions of dividends may qualify for taxation at long-term capital gains rates (provided certain holding period requirements are met).

If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will be “buying a dividend” by paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable distribution.

Any taxable distributions you receive from the fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution option.

Table of Contents

Taxes on Transactions

Your redemptions, including exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in the fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.

Table of Contents

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity® fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity® fund.

Advisory Fee(s)

The fund pays a management fee to the Adviser. The management fee is calculated and paid to the Adviser every month. The fee is determined by calculating a basic fee and then applying a performance adjustment. The performance adjustment either increases or decreases the management fee, depending on how well the fund has performed relative to the S&P 500® Index.

Management Fee = Basic Fee Performance Adjustment

The basic fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund’s average net assets throughout the month.

The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of a group of mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

For March 2020, the group fee rate was 0.24%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.30%.

The basic fee for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, was 0.54% of the fund’s average net assets.

The performance adjustment rate is calculated monthly by comparing over the performance period the fund’s performance to that of the S&P 500® Index.

For the purposes of calculating the performance adjustment for the fund, the fund’s investment performance will be based on the performance of the class of shares of the fund offered through this prospectus. To the extent that other classes of the fund have higher expenses, this could result in those classes bearing a larger positive performance adjustment and smaller negative performance adjustment than would be the case if each class’s own performance were considered.

The performance period is the most recent 36 month period.

The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is ±0.20% of the fund’s average net assets over the performance period. The performance adjustment rate is divided by twelve and multiplied by the fund’s average net assets over the performance period, and the resulting dollar amount is then added to or subtracted from the basic fee.

The total management fee for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, was 0.63% of the fund’s average net assets. Because the fund’s management fee rate may fluctuate, the fund’s management fee may be higher or lower in the future.

The Adviser pays FMR UK, FMR H.K., and FMR Japan for providing sub-advisory services.

The basis for the Board of Trustees approving the management contract and sub-advisory agreements for the fund is available in the fund’s annual report for the fiscal period ended March 31, 2020.

From time to time, the Adviser or its affiliates may agree to reimburse or waive certain fund expenses while retaining the ability to be repaid if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.

 

19


Table of Contents

Reimbursement or waiver arrangements can decrease expenses and boost performance.

Fund Distribution

The fund is composed of multiple classes of shares. All classes of the fund have a common investment objective and investment portfolio.

FDC distributes the fund’s shares.

Intermediaries may receive from the Adviser, FDC, and/or their affiliates compensation for providing recordkeeping and administrative services, as well as other retirement plan expenses, and compensation for services intended to result in the sale of fund shares. These payments are described in more detail in this section and in the SAI.

Distribution and Service Plan(s)

The fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) with respect to its shares that recognizes that the Adviser may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund and/or shareholder support services. The Adviser, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of the fund has authorized such payments for shares of the fund.

If payments made by the Adviser to FDC or to intermediaries under the Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of a class’s assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

From time to time, FDC may offer special promotional programs to investors who purchase shares of Fidelity® funds. For example, FDC may offer merchandise, discounts, vouchers, or similar items to investors who purchase shares of certain Fidelity® funds during certain periods. To determine if you qualify for any such programs, contact Fidelity or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com.

No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related SAI, in connection with the offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the fund or FDC. This prospectus and the related SAI do not constitute an offer by the fund or by FDC to sell shares of the fund to or to buy shares of the fund from any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer.

Portfolio Turnover

The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 106% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

 

   

Normally investing primarily in common stocks.

 

   

Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.

 

   

Investing in either “growth” stocks or “value” stocks or both.

 

   

Using fundamental analysis of factors such as each issuer’s financial condition and industry position, as well as market and economic conditions, to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks

 

   

Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.

 

   

Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.

 

   

Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole.

 

   

High Portfolio Turnover. High portfolio turnover (more than 100%) may result in increased transaction costs and potentially higher capital gains or losses. The effects of higher than normal portfolio turnover may adversely affect the fund’s performance.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. You could lose money by investing in the fund.

Performance

The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the fund. The information illustrates the changes in the performance of the fund’s shares from year to year and compares the performance of the fund’s shares to the performance of a securities market index over various periods of time. The index description appears in the “Additional Index Information” section of the prospectus. Past performance is not an indication of future performance.

Fund Basics

Investment Details

Investment Objective

Fidelity® Magellan® Fund seeks capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Adviser normally invests the fund’s assets primarily in common stocks.

The Adviser may invest the fund’s assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

The Adviser is not constrained by any particular investment style. At any given time, the Adviser may tend to buy “growth” stocks or “value” stocks, or a combination of both types. In buying and selling securities for the fund, the Adviser relies on fundamental analysis, which involves a bottom-up assessment of a company’s potential for success in light of factors including its financial condition, earnings outlook, strategy, management, industry position, and economic and market conditions.

If the Adviser’s strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Description of Principal Security Types

Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants.

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect the fund’s performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as pandemics and epidemics, may magnify factors that affect a fund’s performance. The fund’s share price changes daily based on changes in market conditions and interest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. The fund’s reaction to these developments will be affected by the types of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund’s level of investment in the securities of that issuer. When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money by investing in the fund.

The following factors can significantly affect the fund’s performance:

Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. Fluctuations, especially in foreign markets, can be dramatic over the short as well as long term, and different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, stocks of companies in one sector can react differently from those in another, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, and “growth” stocks can react differently from “value” stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole. Changes in the financial condition of a single issuer can impact the market as a whole. Terrorism and related geo-political risks have led, and may in the future lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and markets generally.

Table of Contents

Foreign Exposure. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.

Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers or providers in, or foreign exchange rates with, a different country or region.

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security’s or instrument’s value. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.

High Portfolio Turnover. A fund may engage in active and frequent trading of its portfolio securities. High portfolio turnover (more than 100%) may result in increased transaction costs to a fund, including brokerage commissions, dealer mark-ups, and other transaction costs on the sale of securities or reinvestment in other securities. The sale of a fund’s securities may result in the realization and/or distribution to shareholders of higher capital gains or losses as compared to a fund with less active trading policies. These effects of higher than normal portfolio turnover may adversely affect a fund’s performance.

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, a fund may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the fund does so, different factors could affect its performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Other Investment Strategies

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, the Adviser may lend the fund’s securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

The Adviser may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund’s exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values.

Fundamental Investment Policies

The following is fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval:

Fidelity® Magellan® Fund seeks capital appreciation through investments in securities of domestic, foreign, and multinational issuers. The fund normally invests primarily in common stock and securities convertible into common stock, but may also invest in other types of securities in seeking its objective. No more than 40% of the fund’s assets may be invested in companies operating exclusively in any one foreign country. No emphasis is placed on dividend income except when the Adviser believes this income will have a favorable influence on the market value of the security.

Valuing Shares

The fund is open for business each day the NYSE is open.

The NAV is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The fund’s assets normally are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing NAV. Fidelity calculates NAV separately for each class of shares of a multiple class fund.

 

8


Table of Contents

NAV is not calculated and the fund will not process purchase and redemption requests submitted on days when the fund is not open for business. The time at which shares are priced and until which purchase and redemption orders are accepted may be changed as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

To the extent that the fund’s assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund’s assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of the fund’s assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.

NAV is calculated using the values of other open-end funds, if any, in which the fund invests (referred to as underlying funds). Shares of underlying funds are valued at their respective NAVs. Other assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service are not readily available or, in the Adviser’s opinion, are deemed unreliable for a security, then that security will be fair valued in good faith by the Adviser in accordance with applicable fair value pricing policies. For example, if, in the Adviser’s opinion, a security’s value has been materially affected by events occurring before a fund’s pricing time but after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, then that security will be fair valued in good faith by the Adviser in accordance with applicable fair value pricing policies. Fair value pricing will be used for high yield debt securities when available pricing information is determined to be stale or for other reasons not to accurately reflect fair value.

Arbitrage opportunities may exist when trading in a portfolio security or securities is halted and does not resume before a fund calculates its NAV. These arbitrage opportunities may enable short-term traders to dilute the NAV of long-term investors. Securities trading in overseas markets present time zone arbitrage opportunities when events affecting portfolio security values occur after the close of the overseas markets but prior to the close of the U.S. market. Fair valuation of a fund’s portfolio securities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent dilution of NAV by short-term traders.

Policies regarding excessive trading may not be effective to prevent short-term NAV arbitrage trading, particularly in regard to omnibus accounts.

Fair value pricing is based on subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value of a security may differ materially from the value that would be realized if the security were sold.

Shareholder Information

Additional Information about the Purchase and Sale of Shares

As used in this prospectus, the term “shares” generally refers to the shares offered through this prospectus.

General Information

Certain methods of contacting Fidelity may be unavailable or delayed (for example, during periods of unusual market activity). In addition, the level and type of service available may be restricted.

Frequent Purchases and Redemptions

The fund may reject for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase or exchange, including transactions deemed to represent excessive trading, at any time.

 

9


Table of Contents

Excessive trading of fund shares can harm shareholders in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term shareholders by increasing costs to the fund (such as brokerage commissions or spreads paid to dealers who sell money market instruments), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund’s NAV.

The fund reserves the right at any time to restrict purchases or exchanges or impose conditions that are more restrictive on excessive trading than those stated in this prospectus.

Excessive Trading Policy

The Board of Trustees has adopted policies designed to discourage excessive trading of fund shares. Excessive trading activity in a fund is measured by the number of roundtrip transactions in a shareholder’s account and each class of a multiple class fund is treated separately. A roundtrip transaction occurs when a shareholder sells fund shares (including exchanges) within 30 days of the purchase date.

Shareholders with two or more roundtrip transactions in a single fund within a rolling 90-day period will be blocked from making additional purchases or exchange purchases of the fund for 85 days. Shareholders with four or more roundtrip transactions across all Fidelity® funds within any rolling 12-month period will be blocked for at least 85 days from additional purchases or exchange purchases across all Fidelity® funds. Any roundtrip within 12 months of the expiration of a multi-fund block will initiate another multi-fund block. Repeat offenders may be subject to long-term or permanent blocks on purchase or exchange purchase transactions in any account under the shareholder’s control at any time. In addition to enforcing these roundtrip limitations, the fund may in its discretion restrict, reject, or cancel any purchases or exchanges that, in the Adviser’s opinion, may be disruptive to the management of the fund or otherwise not be in the fund’s interests.

Exceptions

The following transactions are exempt from the fund’s excessive trading policy described above: (i) transactions of $1,000 or less, (ii) systematic withdrawal and/or contribution programs, (iii) mandatory retirement distributions, and (iv) transactions initiated by a plan sponsor or sponsors of certain employee benefit plans or other related accounts. In addition, the fund’s excessive trading policy does not apply to transactions initiated by the trustee or adviser to a donor-advised charitable gift fund, qualified fund of fund(s), or other strategy funds. A qualified fund of fund(s) is a mutual fund, qualified tuition program, or other strategy fund consisting of qualified plan assets that either applies the fund’s excessive trading policies to shareholders at the fund of fund(s) level, or demonstrates that the fund of fund(s) has an investment strategy coupled with policies designed to control frequent trading that are reasonably likely to be effective as determined by the fund’s Treasurer.

Omnibus Accounts

Omnibus accounts, in which shares are held in the name of an intermediary on behalf of multiple investors, are a common form of holding shares among retirement plans and financial intermediaries such as brokers, advisers, and third-party administrators. Individual trades in omnibus accounts are often not disclosed to the fund, making it difficult to determine whether a particular shareholder is engaging in excessive trading. Excessive trading in omnibus accounts is likely to go undetected by the fund and may increase costs to the fund and disrupt its portfolio management.

Under policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, intermediaries will be permitted to apply the fund’s excessive trading policy (described above), or their own excessive trading policy if approved by the Adviser. In these cases, the fund will typically not request or receive individual account data but will rely on the intermediary to monitor trading activity in good faith in accordance with its or the fund’s policies. Reliance on intermediaries increases the risk that excessive trading may go undetected. For other intermediaries, the fund will generally monitor trading activity at the omnibus account level to attempt to identify disruptive trades. The fund may request transaction information, as frequently as daily, from any intermediary at any time, and may apply the fund’s policy to transactions that exceed thresholds established by the Board of Trustees. The fund may prohibit purchases of fund shares by an intermediary or by some or all of any intermediary’s clients. There is no assurance that the Adviser will request data with sufficient frequency to detect or deter excessive trading in omnibus accounts effectively.

Table of Contents

If you purchase or sell fund shares through a financial intermediary, you may wish to contact the intermediary to determine the policies applicable to your account.

Retirement Plans

For employer-sponsored retirement plans, only participant directed exchanges count toward the roundtrip limits. Employer-sponsored retirement plan participants whose activity triggers a purchase or exchange block will be permitted one trade every calendar quarter. In the event of a block, employer and participant contributions and loan repayments by the participant may still be invested in the fund.

Qualified Wrap Programs

The fund will monitor aggregate trading activity of adviser transactions to attempt to identify excessive trading in qualified wrap programs, as defined below. Excessive trading by an adviser will lead to fund blocks and the wrap program will lose its qualified status. Transactions of an adviser will not be matched with client-directed transactions unless the wrap program ceases to be a qualified wrap program (but all client-directed transactions will be subject to the fund’s excessive trading policy).

A qualified wrap program is: (i) a program whose adviser certifies that it has investment discretion over $100 million or more in client assets invested in mutual funds at the time of the certification, (ii) a program in which the adviser directs transactions in the accounts participating in the program in concert with changes in a model portfolio, and (iii) managed by an adviser who agrees to give the Adviser sufficient information to permit the Adviser to identify the individual accounts in the wrap program.

Other Information about the Excessive Trading Policy

The fund’s Treasurer is authorized to suspend the fund’s policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. The fund reserves the right to modify its policies at any time without prior notice.

The fund does not knowingly accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares by investors, except to the extent permitted by the policies described above.

As described in “Valuing Shares,” the fund also uses fair value pricing to help reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders. There is no assurance that the fund’s excessive trading policy will be effective, or will successfully detect or deter excessive or disruptive trading.

Buying Shares

Eligibility

Shares are generally available only to investors residing in the United States.

Shares generally are available only to employer-sponsored retirement plans (including profit sharing, 401(k), 403(b), 457(b), and similar plans) that are recordkept by Fidelity or, if not recordkept by Fidelity, that already hold shares of the fund, and certain Fidelity health savings accounts that are made available through employers. Shares may also be available to an employer-sponsored retirement plan whose sponsor is involved in a corporate action with a company that sponsors a plan for which Fidelity provides recordkeeping services, in anticipation of a transition to the Fidelity® recordkeeping platform. Please contact Fidelity for more information about Class K shares.

 

11


Table of Contents

Shares generally are not available to retail retirement or non-retirement accounts, traditional and Roth Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), Coverdell Education Savings Accounts, SEPs, SARSEPs, SIMPLE IRAs, individual 403(b) accounts that are not part of an employer’s 403(b) plan, or qualified tuition programs.

Investors eligible to purchase Class K shares may also be eligible to purchase Fidelity® Magellan® Fund shares, a class of shares of the fund that is not offered through this prospectus. However, plan participants may purchase only the classes of shares that are eligible for sale and available through their plan. Each class has different expenses and features, as described in its prospectus. Fidelity® Magellan® Fund shares have higher expenses than Class K shares.

There is no minimum balance or purchase minimum for fund shares.

Price to Buy

The price to buy one share is its NAV. Shares are sold without a sales charge.

Shares will be bought at the NAV next calculated after an order is received in proper form.

The fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

Under applicable anti-money laundering rules and other regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.

Selling Shares

The price to sell one share is its NAV.

Shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after an order is received in proper form. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect the fund.

See “Policies Concerning the Redemption of Fund Shares” below for additional redemption information.

A signature guarantee is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. Fidelity may require that your request be made in writing and include a signature guarantee in certain circumstances, such as:

 

   

When you wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares.

 

   

When the address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 days or you are requesting that a check be mailed to an address different than the record address.

 

   

When you are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner.

 

   

In certain situations when the redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity® account with a different registration.

You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker (including Fidelity® Investor Centers), dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.

 

12


Table of Contents

When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:

 

   

Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected.

 

   

Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.

 

   

Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if the Adviser determines it is in the best interests of the fund.

 

   

You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.

 

   

Under applicable anti-money laundering rules and other regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

Policies Concerning the Redemption of Fund Shares

If your account is held directly with a fund, the length of time that a fund typically expects to pay redemption proceeds depends on the method you have elected to receive such proceeds. A fund typically expects to make payment of redemption proceeds by wire, automated clearing house (ACH) or by issuing a check by the next business day following receipt of a redemption order in proper form. Proceeds from the periodic and automatic sale of shares of a Fidelity® money market fund that are used to buy shares of another Fidelity® fund are settled simultaneously.

If your account is held through an intermediary, the length of time that a fund typically expects to pay redemption proceeds depends, in part, on the terms of the agreement in place between the intermediary and a fund. For redemption proceeds that are paid either directly to you from a fund or to your intermediary for transmittal to you, a fund typically expects to make payments by wire, by ACH or by issuing a check on the next business day following receipt of a redemption order in proper form from the intermediary by a fund. Redemption orders that are processed through investment professionals that utilize the National Securities Clearing Corporation will generally settle one to three business days following receipt of a redemption order in proper form.

As noted elsewhere, payment of redemption proceeds may take longer than the time a fund typically expects and may take up to seven days from the date of receipt of the redemption order as permitted by applicable law.

Redemption Methods Available. Generally a fund expects to pay redemption proceeds in cash. To do so, a fund typically expects to satisfy redemption requests either by using available cash (or cash equivalents) or by selling portfolio securities. On a less regular basis, a fund may also satisfy redemption requests by utilizing one or more of the following sources, if permitted: borrowing from another Fidelity® fund; drawing on an available line or lines of credit from a bank or banks; or using reverse repurchase agreements. These methods may be used during both normal and stressed market conditions.

In addition to paying redemption proceeds in cash, a fund reserves the right to pay part or all of your redemption proceeds in readily marketable securities instead of cash (redemption in-kind). Redemption in-kind proceeds will typically be made by delivering the selected securities to the redeeming shareholder within seven days after the receipt of the redemption order in proper form by a fund.

Converting Shares

The fund will automatically convert your Fidelity® Magellan® Fund shares, a class of shares of the fund that is not offered through this prospectus, to Class K shares if Class K of the fund is available under your plan.

The fund will convert your Class K shares to Fidelity® Magellan® Fund shares if your plan is no longer eligible to offer Class K. Investors will be notified in writing before any such conversion to Fidelity® Magellan® Fund shares.

 

13


Table of Contents

A conversion will be based on the respective NAVs of the two classes, without the imposition of any fees, on the trade date of the conversion. A conversion between share classes of the same fund is a non-taxable event.

Exchanging Shares

An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.

Shares may be exchanged into shares of any class of a Fidelity® fund available through your plan or certain Fidelity health savings accounts that are made available through employers.

However, you should note the following policies and restrictions governing exchanges:

 

   

The exchange limit may be modified for accounts held by certain institutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange limits and Department of Labor regulations. See your retirement plan materials for further information.

 

   

The fund may refuse any exchange purchase for any reason. For example, the fund may refuse exchange purchases by any person or group if, in the Adviser’s judgment, the fund would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.

 

   

Before any exchange, read the prospectus for the shares you are purchasing, including any purchase and sale requirements.

 

   

The shares you are acquiring by exchange must be available for sale in your state.

 

   

If you are exchanging between accounts that are not registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number (TIN), there may be additional requirements.

 

   

Under applicable anti-money laundering rules and other regulations, exchange requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

The fund may terminate or modify exchange privileges in the future.

Other funds may have different exchange restrictions and minimums. Check each fund’s prospectus for details.

Rollover IRAs

Class K shares generally are not available to IRA rollover accounts. Assets from retirement plans may be invested in other class(es) of shares of the fund through an IRA rollover, including class(es) of shares not offered in this prospectus. Each class of the fund has different expenses and features and may have higher expenses than Class K shares. Information on the other class(es) of shares of the fund, including any class expenses and features, can be found in the applicable class’s prospectus.

Account Policies

The following apply to you as a shareholder.

Statements that Fidelity sends to you, if applicable, include the following:

 

   

Confirmation statements (after transactions affecting your fund balance except reinvestment of distributions in the fund).

 

   

Monthly or quarterly account statements (detailing fund balances and all transactions completed during the prior month or quarter).

Table of Contents

You may initiate many transactions by telephone or electronically. Fidelity will not be responsible for any loss, cost, expense, or other liability resulting from unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements upon receipt and notify Fidelity immediately of any discrepancies in your account activity. If you do not want the ability to sell and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions. Additional documentation may be required from corporations, associations, and certain fiduciaries.

You may also be asked to provide additional information in order for Fidelity to verify your identity in accordance with requirements under anti-money laundering regulations. Accounts may be restricted and/or closed, and the monies withheld, pending verification of this information or as otherwise required under these and other federal regulations. In addition, the fund reserves the right to involuntarily redeem an account in the case of: (i) actual or suspected threatening conduct or actual or suspected fraudulent, illegal or suspicious activity by the account owner or any other individual associated with the account; or (ii) the failure of the account owner to provide information to the fund related to opening the accounts. Your shares will be sold at the NAV, minus any applicable shareholder fees, calculated on the day Fidelity closes your fund position.

Fidelity may charge a fee for certain services, such as providing historical account documents.

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

The fund earns dividends, interest, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. The fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.

The fund normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions in May and December.

Any dividends and capital gain distributions paid to retirement plan participants will be automatically reinvested.

Tax Consequences

Taxes on Distributions

Distributions by the fund to tax-advantaged retirement plan accounts are not taxable currently (but you may be taxed later, upon withdrawal of your investment from such account).

Taxes on Transactions

Exchanges within a tax-advantaged retirement plan account will not result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. Please consult your tax advisor regarding the tax treatment of distributions from a tax-advantaged retirement plan account.

Sammy Simnegar is portfolio manager of the fund, which he has managed since February 2019. He also manages other funds. Since joining Fidelity Investments in 1998, Mr. Simnegar has worked as an equity research analyst and portfolio manager.

The statement of additional information (SAI) provides additional information about the compensation of, any other accounts managed by, and any fund shares held by the portfolio manager(s).

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity® fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity® fund.

Advisory Fee(s)

The fund pays a management fee to the Adviser. The management fee is calculated and paid to the Adviser every month. The fee is determined by calculating a basic fee and then applying a performance adjustment. The performance adjustment either increases or decreases the management fee, depending on how well the fund has performed relative to the S&P 500® Index.

 

16


Table of Contents

Management Fee = Basic Fee Performance Adjustment

The basic fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund’s average net assets throughout the month.

The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of a group of mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

For March 2020, the group fee rate was 0.24%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.30%.

The basic fee for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, was 0.54% of the fund’s average net assets.

The performance adjustment rate is calculated monthly by comparing over the performance period the fund’s performance to that of the S&P 500® Index.

For the purposes of calculating the performance adjustment for the fund, the fund’s investment performance will be based on the performance of Fidelity® Magellan® Fund, a class of shares of the fund that is not offered through this prospectus. To the extent that other classes of the fund have higher expenses, this could result in those classes bearing a larger positive performance adjustment and smaller negative performance adjustment than would be the case if each class’s own performance were considered.

The performance period is the most recent 36 month period.

The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is ±0.20% of the fund’s average net assets over the performance period. The performance adjustment rate is divided by twelve and multiplied by the fund’s average net assets over the performance period, and the resulting dollar amount is then added to or subtracted from the basic fee.

The total management fee for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, was 0.63% of the fund’s average net assets. Because the fund’s management fee rate may fluctuate, the fund’s management fee may be higher or lower in the future.

The Adviser pays FMR UK, FMR H.K., and FMR Japan for providing sub-advisory services.

The basis for the Board of Trustees approving the management contract and sub-advisory agreements for the fund is available in the fund’s annual report for the fiscal period ended March 31, 2020.

From time to time, the Adviser or its affiliates may agree to reimburse or waive certain fund expenses while retaining the ability to be repaid if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.

Reimbursement or waiver arrangements can decrease expenses and boost performance.

Fund Distribution

The fund is composed of multiple classes of shares. All classes of the fund have a common investment objective and investment portfolio.

FDC distributes Class K shares.

Intermediaries may receive from the Adviser, FDC, and/or their affiliates compensation for providing recordkeeping and administrative services, as well as other retirement plan expenses, and compensation for services intended to result in the sale of Class K shares. These payments are described in more detail in this section and in the SAI.

Table of Contents

Distribution and Service Plan(s)

Class K has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) that recognizes that the Adviser may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of Class K shares and/or shareholder support services. The Adviser, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of the fund has authorized such payments for Class K shares.

If payments made by the Adviser to FDC or to intermediaries under the Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of Class K’s assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

From time to time, FDC may offer special promotional programs to investors who purchase shares of Fidelity® funds. For example, FDC may offer merchandise, discounts, vouchers, or similar items to investors who purchase shares of certain Fidelity® funds during certain periods. To determine if you qualify for any such programs, contact Fidelity or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com.

No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related SAI, in connection with the offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the fund or FDC. This prospectus and the related SAI do not constitute an offer by the fund or by FDC to sell shares of the fund to or to buy shares of the fund from any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer.

D

The amount show for a share outstanding does not correspond with the aggregate net gain (loss) on investments for the period due to the timing of sales and repurchases of shares in relation to fluctuating market values of the investment of the Fund.

E

Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) per share reflects proceeds received from litigation which amounted to $.01 per share. Excluding these litigation proceeds, the total return would have been (.95)%

F

Total returns would have been lower if certain expenses had not been reduced during the applicable periods shown.

G

Fees and expenses of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds are not included in the Fund’s expense ratio. The Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

H

Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the class. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or reductions from other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the class during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class.

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

February 16, 2021

This Statement of Additional Information (SAI) relates to the proposed acquisition of Fidelity Independence Fund, a series of Fidelity Financial Trust, by Fidelity Magellan Fund, a series of Fidelity Magellan Fund. This SAI contains information that may be of interest to shareholders, but which is not included in the Proxy Statement which relates to the Reorganization.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Pro Forma Financial Statements for the Reorganization are provided on the following pages.


Table of Contents

Fidelity Magellan Fund: Fidelity Magellan Fund

Fidelity Financial Trust: Fidelity Independence Fund

Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited Pro Forma Combined Schedule of Investments and Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflect balances as of September 30, 2020 and the unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations reflect results for the twelve months ended September 30, 2020, as if the merger had occurred on the first day of the year presented (October 1, 2019). The unaudited pro forma financial statements are presented to show the effect of the proposed merger of Fidelity Independence Fund (the “Acquired Fund”) into Fidelity Magellan Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), the accounting survivor. Each Fund offers Retail Class and Class K shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class.

The unaudited pro forma financial statements were derived from financial statements prepared for the Acquiring Fund and Acquired Fund in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements which are incorporated by reference in the Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) to this Proxy Statement and Prospectus for the Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund. The reorganization is expected to qualify as a tax-free transaction with no gain or loss recognized by the funds or their shareholders.

2. Investment Valuation:

Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of each Fund’s investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by each Fund’s investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund’s valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee’s activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing each Fund’s investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.


Table of Contents

The Acquired Funds and Acquiring Fund categorize the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value each Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of September 30, 2020, is included at the end of the listing within Fidelity Magellan Fund Combined Pro Forma Portfolio (unaudited).

3. Investment Transactions and Income.

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds’ investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends


Table of Contents

included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Funds represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Funds determine the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

4. Class Allocations and Expenses:

Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of each Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of each Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

5. Merger Costs:

Fidelity Independence Fund will bear the costs of the Reorganization, including professional fees, expenses associated with the filing of registration statements, and the cost of soliciting proxies for the Meeting, which will consist principally of printing and mailing prospectuses and Proxy Statement, together with the cost of any supplementary solicitation. The estimated one time expenses related to the Reorganization for Fidelity Independence Fund is $105,000.

6. Capital Shares:

Shareholders of the Acquired Fund would become shareholders of the Acquiring Fund receiving shares of the corresponding class of the Acquiring Fund equal to the value of their holdings in each Acquired Fund. The amount of additional shares assumed to be issued was calculated based on the September 30, 2020 net assets of the Acquired Fund and the net asset value per share of the Acquiring Fund as disclosed within the Pro Forma Combined Statement of Assets and Liabilities (unaudited).

7. Use of Estimates:

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Table of Contents

8. Federal Income Taxes:

Each year, each of the Funds intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required.

  Item 15.

Indemnification

Article XI, Section 2 of the Declaration of Trust sets forth the reasonable and fair means for determining whether indemnification shall be provided to any past or present Trustee or officer. It states that the Trust shall indemnify any present or past trustee or officer to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability, and all expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he or she is involved by virtue of his or her service as a trustee or officer and against any amount incurred in settlement thereof. Indemnification will not be provided to a person adjudged by a court or other adjudicatory body to be liable to the Trust or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties (collectively, “disabling conduct”), or not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of the Trust. In the event of a settlement, no indemnification may be provided unless there has been a determination, as specified in the Declaration of Trust, that the officer or trustee did not engage in disabling conduct.

Pursuant to Section 11 of the Distribution Agreement, the Trust agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any loss, liability, claim, damages or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damages, or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising by reason of any person acquiring any shares, based upon the ground that the registration statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, shareholder reports or other information filed or made public by the Trust (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading under the 1933 Act, or any other statute or the common law. However, the Trust does not agree to indemnify the Distributor or hold it harmless to the extent that the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the Trust by or on behalf of the Distributor. In no case is the indemnity of the Trust in favor of the Distributor or any person indemnified to be deemed to protect the Distributor or any person against any liability to the Issuer or its security holders to which the Distributor or such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

Pursuant to the agreement by which Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (“FIIOC”) is appointed transfer agent, the Registrant agrees to indemnify and hold FIIOC harmless against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) resulting from:

(1) any claim, demand, action or suit brought by any person other than the Registrant, including by a shareholder, which names FIIOC and/or the Registrant as a party and is not based on and does not result from FIIOC’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of duties, and arises out of or in connection with FIIOC’s performance under the Transfer Agency Agreement; or

(2) any claim, demand, action or suit (except to the extent contributed to by FIIOC’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of duties) which results from the negligence of the Registrant, or from FIIOC’s acting upon any instruction(s) reasonably believed by it to have been executed or communicated by any person duly authorized by the Registrant, or as a result of FIIOC’s acting in reliance upon advice reasonably believed by FIIOC to have been given by counsel for the Registrant, or as a result of FIIOC’s acting in reliance upon any instrument or stock certificate reasonably believed by it to have been genuine and signed, countersigned or executed by the proper person.


Table of Contents

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
