[1] During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Fund paid amounts to American Beacon Advisors, Inc. (the “Manager”) that were previously waived and/or reimbursed by the Manager under a contractual fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement for the Fund’s Y Class and R5 Class shares in the amount of 0.04% for the Y Class shares and 0.05% for the R5 Class shares.
[2] The Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not correlate to the ratio of expenses to average net assets provided in the Fund’s Financial Highlights table, which reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.
[3] The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund’s Y Class, R5 Class and Investor Class shares, as applicable, through October 31, 2024 to the extent that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses exceed 0.99 % for the Y Class, 0.92% for the R5 Class and 1.24% for the Investor Class (excluding taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, securities lending fees, expenses associated with securities sold short, litigation, and other extraordinary expenses). As part of this arrangement, SSI Investment Management LLC (the “Sub-Advisor”) has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its sub-advisory fees equal to 0.44% of the Fund’s average daily net assets under the Sub-Advisor’s management through October 31, 2024. The contractual expense reimbursement and fee waiver by the Manager and the contractual fee waiver by the Sub-Advisor can be changed or terminated only in the discretion and with the approval of a majority of the Fund’s Board of Trustees. The Manager may also, from time to time, voluntarily waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund. The Manager (but not the Sub-Advisor) can be reimbursed by the Fund for any contractual or voluntary fee waivers or expense reimbursements if reimbursement to the Manager (a) occurs within three years from the date of the Manager’s waiver/reimbursement and (b) does not cause the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses of a class to exceed the lesser of the contractual percentage limit in effect at the time of the waiver/reimbursement or the time of the recoupment.
