Matters With Respect to the Reorganization of the Brandywine Funds
 
On Monday, September 23, 2013, the shareholders of the Brandywine Fund, the Brandywine Blue Fund and the Brandywine Advisors Midcap Growth Fund (the “Brandywine Funds”) approved the Agreements and Plans of Reorganization (the “Plans”), which provide for the reorganization of each of the Brandywine Funds into a corresponding series of Managers Trust I (the “Managers Funds”), which will be advised by Managers Investment Group LLC and subadvised by Friess Associates, LLC and Friess Associates of Delaware, LLC.  The reorganizations are expected to occur on or about October 1, 2013.

The Plans set forth the terms by which each Brandywine Fund will transfer all of its assets and liabilities to its corresponding Managers Fund in exchange for shares of the corresponding Managers Fund, and subsequently distribute those Managers Fund shares to the applicable Brandywine Fund’s shareholders in complete liquidation of such Brandywine Fund.  As a result of the reorganizations, shareholders of the Brandywine Funds will become shareholders of their corresponding Managers Funds upon the closing of the reorganizations, as follows: 
 
Brandywine Fund
Corresponding Managers Fund
Brandywine Fund
Brandywine Fund, a series of Managers Trust I
