Re: Floating Rate Loan Portfolio, a series (or fund) of Pacific Select Fund

 

Dear Contract Owner:

 

You currently have an investment interest in the Floating Rate Loan Portfolio, which has been available as an investment option under variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies issued by Pacific Life Insurance Company and Pacific Life & Annuity Company.

 

You are being asked to approve a Plan of Reorganization pursuant to which the Floating Rate Loan Portfolio would be reorganized and merged into the Floating Rate Income Portfolio. The Floating Rate Loan Portfolio and Floating Rate Income Portfolio are each a series of Pacific Select Fund.

 

On September 26, 2018, the Board of Trustees of Pacific Select Fund, upon the recommendation of Pacific Life Fund Advisors LLC, the investment adviser of each Portfolio, considered and approved the Plan of Reorganization, subject to approval by Floating Rate Loan Portfolio shareholders.

 

The Pacific Select Fund Board of Trustees unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the Plan of Reorganization. A summary of the Board’s considerations in approving the Plan of Reorganization, as well as other important information, is provided in the combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus that is included with this letter.

 

If the Plan of Reorganization is approved by shareholders and you have not elected to move your contract/account value to a new investment option prior to the date of the Reorganization, currently scheduled for March 1, 2019, your interest in the Floating Rate Loan Portfolio will be replaced with an interest of equivalent value in the Floating Rate Income Portfolio.

 

Please read the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and consider the proposal to approve the Plan of Reorganization carefully before casting your voting instruction. We appreciate your participation and prompt response in this matter and thank you for your continued support.

 

Sincerely,

FOR THE REORGANIZATION OF

FLOATING RATE LOAN PORTFOLIO

 

INTO

 

FLOATING RATE INCOME PORTFOLIO

each a series of Pacific Select Fund

 

 

I.        INTRODUCTION

 

This combined proxy statement and prospectus (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) is being sent to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Trustees (the “Board of Trustees” or “Board”) of Pacific Select Fund (the “Trust”), for a Special Meeting of shareholders of the Floating Rate Loan Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), a series of the Trust, to be held on February 13, 2019 (the “Meeting”). As more fully described in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the purpose of the Meeting is for shareholders to consider and vote on an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan of Reorganization” or “Plan”) pursuant to which the Acquired Fund would be reorganized with and into the Floating Rate Income Portfolio (the “Surviving Fund”), another series of the Trust (the “Reorganization”) (together, the “Proposal”).

 

The Acquired Fund is available as an investment option under variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (the “Variable Contracts”) issued or administered by Pacific Life Insurance Company (“PLIC”) and Pacific Life & Annuity Company (“PL&A” and together with PLIC, “Pacific Life”). Contract owners who selected the Acquired Fund for investment through a Pacific Life Variable Contract (the “Contract Owners”) have a beneficial interest in the Acquired Fund, but do not invest directly in or hold shares of the Acquired Fund. Pacific Life, as the shareholder of the Acquired Fund, has voting rights with respect to Acquired Fund shares, but passes through those voting rights to Contract Owners. Accordingly, for ease of reference throughout this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, Contract Owners may also be referred to as “shareholders.”

 

Upon the recommendation of Pacific Life Fund Advisors LLC (“PLFA” or the “Adviser”), the investment adviser to the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund (together, the “Funds”), the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), considered and approved the Plan of Reorganization and authorized sending this Proxy Statement/Prospectus to shareholders of the Acquired Fund to solicit approval of the Plan.

 

As a Contract Owner with a beneficial interest in shares of the Acquired Fund, you are being asked to approve the Plan that would result in a transaction giving you a beneficial interest in shares of the Surviving Fund. As such, this document also serves as a prospectus for the Surviving Fund.

 

This Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which should be read and retained for future reference, sets forth concisely the information that a shareholder should know in considering the Reorganization. A Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) relating to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, dated [ ], containing additional information about the Reorganization and the parties thereto, has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and is incorporated herein by reference.

II.         SUMMARY

 

The Proposed Reorganization

 

At a meeting held on September 26, 2018, the Board approved the Plan of Reorganization, subject to shareholder approval. The Plan provides for the transfer of all of the assets of the Acquired Fund (whose outstanding shares are comprised of Class I shares and Class P shares) to the Surviving Fund, in exchange for Class I shares and Class P shares of the Surviving Fund, respectively, and the assumption by the Surviving Fund of all liabilities of the Acquired Fund, followed immediately by the distribution by the Acquired Fund to its shareholders of the portion of shares of the Surviving Fund to which the shareholder is entitled in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund.

 

Pursuant to the Plan, each shareholder of the Acquired Fund would receive a number of full and fractional Class I and Class P shares of the Surviving Fund with an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the number of full and fractional Class I and Class P shares, respectively, of the Acquired Fund held by such shareholder immediately prior to the Reorganization.

 

The Reorganization is expected to be effective after the close of business on March 1, 2019, or such other date as the parties may agree (the “Closing Date”).

 

At any time prior to the Closing Date, Contract Owners may transfer out of the Acquired Fund consistent with the transfer provisions of the applicable Variable Contract prospectus. Contract Owners may transfer into any other available investment option under their policy or contract. PLIC and PL&A have informed the Trust that transfers out of the Acquired Fund within 30 days prior to the Closing Date and transfers out of the Surviving Fund within 30 days after the Closing Date will not count as a transfer for purposes of transfer limitations under the Variable Contract. A list of the current funds offered by the Trust is attached as Appendix C. Please see the Trust’s prospectus dated May 1, 2018, as supplemented, for information about other funds of the Trust available for investment. Please see your Variable Contract prospectus for more information on transfers, including any restrictions on transfers into the Acquired Fund before the Closing Date.

Reasons for the Reorganization

 

The Adviser believes that at this time, it is no longer necessary for the Trust to have two separate Funds and two managers in the bank loan asset class. The Adviser believes that the Funds have similar principal investment strategies and that the Surviving Fund, and not the Acquired Fund, should continue on as the Trust’s sole bank loan Fund because:

 

1.The current total annual fund operating expenses of both the Surviving Fund’s Class I shares and Class P shares are lower than the total annual fund operating expenses of the Acquired Fund’s Class I shares and Class P shares, respectively.

 

2.The Adviser has agreed to waive 0.05% of its advisory fee for the Surviving Fund for a period of three years if the Plan of Reorganization is approved by Acquired Fund shareholders, thereby reducing fund fees for both Acquired Fund and Surviving Fund shareholders effective upon the Closing Date. (Currently, the Surviving Fund and the Acquired Fund have the same net advisory fee after waivers).

 

3.There has been comparable performance achieved for the Acquired Fund by Eaton Vance Investment Managers, the sub-adviser for the Acquired Fund, and for the Surviving Fund by Pacific Asset Management, the sub-adviser for the Surviving Fund (Eaton Vance Investment Managers and Pacific Asset Management together, the “Fund Managers” and each a “Fund Manager”). See Section VI (Comparison of Fund Performance).

 

4.The Adviser believes there are communication, operational and cost benefits to having an affiliated manager manage a fund that will benefit both the fund and its shareholders.

 

Approval of the Reorganization – Board Considerations

 

The Adviser advised the Board that it recommends the reorganization (merger) of the Acquired Fund with and into the Surviving Fund, subject to shareholder approval of the Plan of Reorganization. The Plan of Reorganization was presented to the Board and approved at a meeting on September 26, 2018. At that meeting, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, reviewed the recommendation by the Adviser for the Reorganization, including the information stated below and in Section VII (Additional Information about the Reorganization - Reasons for the Reorganization and Board Considerations), the principal terms and conditions of the Plan of Reorganization, and certain other materials provided by the Adviser regarding the Reorganization. The Independent Trustees had the assistance of their independent counsel during their review.

 

In approving the proposed Reorganization, the Board considered several factors, including but not limited to the following:

 

(a)the investment goals of the Funds are identical;

 

(b)the similarities and differences in the principal investment strategies and characteristics of the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund;

 

(c)performance of the Funds is similar and comparable;

 

(d)the lower total expense ratio of the Surviving Fund compared to the Acquired Fund;

 

6 | Page 

 

(e)after the Reorganization, the Adviser has agreed to waive 0.05% of its current advisory fee for a period of three years with respect to the Surviving Fund;

 

(f)after the Reorganization, the Surviving Fund’s assets will increase and are expected to provide for better economies of scale, including reaching an advisory fee breakpoint at $1 billion in assets, thereby lowering the advisory fee from the current advisory fee for shareholders (0.65% to 0.62%) on the Surviving Fund’s assets that exceed $1 billion, assuming assets for the Surviving Fund stay at the same level following the Reorganization;

 

(g)the recommendation of the Adviser;

 

(h)the fact that Contract Owners and Class P shareholders with an interest in the Acquired Fund will be given the opportunity to redeem their Class I and Class P shares, respectively, in the Acquired Fund at no cost prior to the Reorganization and invest the proceeds of such redemption in another investment option available under their Variable Contract; and

 

(i)that in the event Class I and/or Class P shares remain in the Acquired Fund at the date of the Reorganization, the Adviser recommends that it would be appropriate for the Surviving Fund to acquire the remaining assets and liabilities of the Acquired Fund for the reasons previously described above.

 

The Board also considered the continuity of management and compliance oversight, including that PLFA is investment adviser to both Funds, but that there will be a change in manager as Pacific Asset Management (the “New Manager”) is the manager to the Surviving Fund; the terms and conditions of the proposed Plan of Reorganization, including that the Reorganization is structured so as not to result in any dilution of the interests of any shareholders and will not result in the recognition of any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes for Contract Owners that invest in either the Acquired Fund or the Surviving Fund; any direct or indirect costs to be incurred by the Acquired Fund and its shareholders as a result of the proposed Reorganization, including that PLFA will bear half of the costs and expenses of the Reorganization and that the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund will each bear one quarter of the costs and expenses of the Reorganization; and the benefits that may be realized by PLFA or the New Manager as a result of the Reorganization, as well as any potential conflicts of interest relating to PLFA’s recommendation in favor of the Reorganization, including that PLFA does business as Pacific Asset Management and will see an advisory fee retention increase.

 

The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that the proposed Reorganization would be in the best interests of each of the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund and their shareholders and that the interests of each of the Acquired Fund’s and Surviving Fund’s existing shareholders would not be diluted as a result of the proposed Reorganization. Thus, the Board approved the Plan of Reorganization for the Acquired Fund, subject to shareholder approval, which is described in further detail below.

 

You should read this entire Proxy Statement/Prospectus carefully, including the Appendices, and review the Plan, which is attached as Appendix A. Also, you should consult the Trust’s prospectus, dated May 1, 2018, as supplemented, for more information about the Surviving Fund.

 

Should shareholders of the Acquired Fund not approve the Plan of Reorganization, the Reorganization will not be implemented and the Acquired Fund will continue to exist as a separate series of the Trust. PLFA and the Board will then consider other options for the Acquired Fund, including liquidation of the Acquired Fund.

 

Comparison of Investment Goals and Principal Investment Strategies

 

The Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund have identical investment goals and similar principal investment strategies, although there are some differences:

 

The Funds have identical investment goals. The Acquired Fund and Surviving Fund each seek a high level of current income.

 

7 | Page 

 

The Funds have similar principal investment strategies and characteristics. See the Comparison of Investment Goals, Principal Investment Strategies, Principal Risks, Management of the Funds and Fund Characteristics section for information on strategies, characteristics and holdings. The Surviving Fund under normal circumstances invests at least 80% of its assets in floating rate loans and floating rate debt securities while the Acquired Fund under normal circumstances invests at least 80% of its assets in floating rate loans. Both Funds expect to invest substantially all of their assets in floating rate loans and other debt instruments that are rated non-investment grade (or “high yield/high risk, sometimes called “junk bonds”) or if unrated, are of comparable quality as determined by their respective sub-adviser or manager.

 

The Funds have some differences in principal investment strategies. The Surviving Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in U.S. dollar denominated foreign investments, principally in developed markets, whereas the Acquired Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in foreign senior loans and foreign securities without the U.S. dollar-denominated and developed markets restrictions. See the Comparison of Investment Goals, Principal Investment Strategies, Principal Risks, Management of the Funds and Fund Characteristics section for more information.

 

Comparison of Distribution and Purchase Procedures, Exchange Rights and Redemption Procedures

 

Distribution and purchase procedures, exchange rights and redemption procedures are the same for both Funds.

 

Other Significant Board Considerations

 

The Surviving Fund has a lower gross advisory fee and a lower total annual fund operating expense ratio than the Acquired Fund. If the Reorganization is approved, the Adviser has agreed to waive 0.05% of the Surviving Fund’s advisory fee through April 30, 2022 effective upon the Closing Date, resulting in a net advisory fee of 0.60%, which is lower than the current net advisory fee of 0.65% for both the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund. After April 30, 2022, the waiver will be reviewed annually. The combined assets of the Surviving Fund and the Acquired Fund are expected to reach an advisory fee breakpoint at current asset levels that would further reduce the Acquired Fund’s advisory fee on assets that exceed $1 billion, as described further below in this section. See Section IV, the Comparison of Fees and Expenses section for additional information.

 

The Surviving Fund and the Acquired Fund have comparable performance. Class I of the Surviving Fund has performance comparable to that of Class I of the Acquired Fund, with better performance than the Acquired Fund for calendar year 2015, although the Acquired Fund has better performance for calendar years 2014 and 2016, and slightly better performance for calendar year 2017. For the 1- and 3- year average annual total returns as of December 31, 2017, the Acquired Fund has better performance than the Surviving Fund for the 1- year period, while the Surviving Fund has better performance than the Acquired Fund for the 3- year period. For the 1-, 3- and 5-year performance periods as of June 30, 2018, the Surviving Fund slightly outperformed the Acquired Fund over the 3- and 5-year periods, while the Acquired Fund has slightly better returns over the 1-year period. Both Funds ranked in the top quintile of their peer group for performance over the 3-year period and ranked in the second quintile over the 1- and 5-year periods. The Surviving Fund also had less volatile monthly returns than the Acquired Fund for the 1-, 3- and 5- year periods as of June 30, 2018. See Section VI, the Comparison of Fund Performance section, for additional information on performance.

 

Each Fund has the same investment adviser, PLFA, although each Fund has a different Fund Manager responsible for day-to-day management of the Fund. Pacific Asset Management will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the combined Fund after the Reorganization; the Acquired Fund is sub-advised by Eaton Vance Investment Managers. See the Additional Information About the Funds section for information on the Adviser and Pacific Asset Management.

 

The Surviving Fund and the Acquired Fund have approximately equivalent net assets. The Surviving Fund had net assets of approximately $502 million as of June 30, 2018 and the Acquired Fund had net assets of approximately $557 million as of the same date. If the Funds were to merge at these asset levels, an advisory fee breakpoint would be reached under the Surviving Fund’s advisory agreement that would lower the advisory fee to 0.62% for assets over $1 billion.

The Reorganization will be a non-taxable event for shareholders. See the Additional Information About the Reorganization – Tax Considerations section for additional information.

 

After careful consideration, the Board unanimously approved the PLAN OF Reorganization AND recommends that you vote “FOR” the PROPOSAL.

 

III.         COMPARISON OF PRINCIPAL RISKS OF THE FUNDS

 

As with any mutual fund, the value of either Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of your shares, may go up or down and you could lose money. There is no guarantee that either Fund will achieve its investment goal. Both the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund may be affected by the following principal risks:

 

Active Management Risk: The Fund Manager’s judgments about the potential value, potential income, credit risk, or price appreciation of an investment may prove to be incorrect or fail to have the intended results, which could negatively impact the Fund’s performance.

 

Credit Risk: An issuer or guarantor of a debt instrument might be unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations and might not make interest or principal payments on an instrument when those payments are due (“default”). Defaults may potentially reduce the Fund’s income or ability to recover amounts due and may reduce the value of the debt instrument, sometimes dramatically.

 

Debt Securities Risk: Debt securities and other debt instruments are subject to many risks, including interest rate risk, market and regulatory risk, credit risk, price volatility risk, and liquidity risk, which may affect their value.

 

Floating Rate Loan Risk: Floating rate loans (or bank loans) are usually rated below investment grade and thus are subject to high yield/high risk or “junk” securities risk. The market for floating rate loans is a private interbank resale market and thus may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and delayed settlement periods. Purchases and sales of loans are generally subject to contractual restrictions that must be fulfilled before a loan can be bought or sold. These restrictions may hamper the Fund’s ability to buy or sell loans and negatively affect the transaction price. It may take longer than seven days for transactions in loans to settle, which may result in cash proceeds not being immediately available to the Fund. The Fund is also subject to credit risk with respect to the issuer of the loan.

 

U.S. federal securities laws afford certain protections against fraud and misrepresentation in connection with the offering or sale of a security, as well as against manipulation of trading markets for securities. However, it is unclear whether these protections are available to an investment in a loan, which may not be deemed to be a security in certain circumstances and, as a result, could increase the risk of investing in loans.

 

Foreign Markets Risk: Exposure to foreign markets can involve additional risks relating to market, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other conditions. These factors can make foreign investments more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can react differently to these conditions than the U.S. market. Markets and economies throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions or events in one market, country or region may adversely impact investments or issuers in another market, country or region.

 

High Yield/High Risk or “Junk” Securities Risk: High yield/high risk securities are typically issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed and are considered to be mostly speculative in nature (high risk), subject to greater liquidity risk, and subject to a greater risk of default than higher rated securities. High yield/high risk securities (including loans) may be more volatile than investment grade securities.

 

9 | Page 

 

Interest Rate Risk: The value of debt instruments may fall when interest rates rise. Debt instruments with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, making them more volatile than debt instruments with shorter durations or floating or adjustable interest rates.

 

Issuer Risk: The value of a security or instrument may decline for reasons directly related to the issuer of the security or instrument, such as reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services.

 

Liquidity Risk: Certain holdings may be difficult to value, purchase and sell, particularly during adverse market conditions, because there is a limited market for the investment or there are restrictions on resale. The Fund may not be able to sell a holding quickly at the price it has valued the holding, may be unable to take advantage of market opportunities or may be forced to sell other more desirable, more liquid securities or sell less liquid or illiquid securities at a loss if needed to raise cash to conduct operations, including to meet redemption requests.

 

Market and Regulatory Risk: Events in the financial markets and economy may cause volatility and uncertainty and adversely impact the Fund’s performance. Market events may affect a single issuer, industry, sector, or the market as a whole. Traditionally liquid investments may experience periods of diminished liquidity. Governmental and regulatory actions, including tax law changes, may also impair portfolio management and have unexpected or adverse consequences on particular markets, strategies, or investments.

 

Price Volatility Risk: To the extent the Fund invests in investments whose value may go up or down rapidly or unpredictably, the Fund’s value may also go up or down rapidly or unpredictably. Price volatility can be caused by many factors, including changes in the economy or financial markets or for reasons specific to a particular issuer.

 

Underlying Fund Risk: Because the Fund may serve as an underlying fund of one or more “fund of funds” of the Trust and thus have a significant percentage of its outstanding shares held by such fund of funds, a change in asset allocation by the fund of funds could result in large redemptions out of the Fund, causing potential increases in expenses to the Fund and sale of securities in a short timeframe, both of which could negatively impact performance.

 

The Acquired Fund may also be affected by the following principal risk (which is not a principal risk of the Surviving Fund):

 

Currency Risk: A decline in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar reduces the value in U.S. dollars of the Fund’s investments in that foreign currency and investments denominated in that foreign currency.

 

The Surviving Fund may also be affected by the following principal risk (which is not a principal risk of the Acquired Fund):

 

Sector Risk: The Fund may be invested more heavily from time to time in a particular sector (which is more broadly defined than an industry classification) based on investment opportunities or market conditions. If the Fund is invested more heavily in a particular sector, its performance will be more sensitive to developments that affect that sector. Individual sectors may rise and fall more than the broader market. In addition, issuers within a sector may all react in the same way to economic, political, regulatory or other events.

 

IV.         COMPARISON OF FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUNDS

 

The following discussion compares the fees and expenses that shareholders pay in connection with investing in the Funds and the advisory fees that each Fund pays to PLFA for the services it provides as investment adviser.

 

Advisory Fees

 

Each Fund pays PLFA an advisory fee, payable monthly, based on the average daily net assets of the Fund. The following table shows the annual effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate calculated using applicable breakpoints) paid by each Fund for the most recent year ended December 31, 2017 as a percentage of that Fund’s average daily net assets:

 

10 | Page 

 

Fund   Effective Advisory Fee Rate
(as a % of average daily net assets)
Floating Rate Loan Portfolio (Acquired Fund)   0.65%1
Floating Rate Income Portfolio (Surviving Fund)   0.65%

 

1The Acquired Fund’s effective advisory fee rate reflects a 0.10% advisory fee waiver agreed to by PLFA.

 

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreements for the Funds is available in the Trust’s annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Fees and Expenses of the Funds

 

The tables below describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Funds. The tables are based upon the annualized operating expenses incurred by the Funds through June 30, 2018. The tables below do not reflect expenses and charges that are, or may be, imposed under your Variable Contract. Fees and expense in the tables would be higher if they did.

Examples

 

The following examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund. Each example assumes that you invest $10,000 in each Fund and in the combined Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization, for the time periods indicated, that your investment has an average return of 5%, that all dividends and distributions are reinvested, and that each Fund’s operating expenses remain the same as stated in the previous table throughout the 10-year period. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, the examples show what your costs would be based on these assumptions.

 

The examples do not reflect fees and expenses of any Variable Contract, and would be higher if they did. Keep in mind, this is only an estimate; actual expenses and performance may vary.

Class P $68 $214 $385 $880

 

Additional Information

 

The Adviser estimates that prior to the Reorganization, approximately 10 % of the Acquired Fund’s holdings will have been sold to facilitate the Reorganization. The Adviser also expects that during the year following the Reorganization, certain additional holdings will be sold in the ordinary course which would increase the Surviving Fund’s portfolio turnover. There are no explicit commission costs for bond transactions; any impact to the Surviving Fund from the sales of holdings will depend upon the execution price of each holding that is sold.

 

V.         COMPARISON OF INVESTMENT GOALS, PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES,

Investment Goal

This Fund seeks a high level of current income.

  This Fund seeks a high level of current income.
Principal Investment Strategies

Under normal circumstances, this Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in floating rate loans. Floating rate loans are those with interest rates which float, adjust or vary periodically based upon a benchmark indicator, a specified adjustment schedule or prevailing interest rates. Borrowers may include corporations, partnerships and other entities that operate in a variety of industries and geographic regions. Floating rate loans in which the Fund invests include senior loans of domestic and foreign borrowers. Senior loans are debt instruments that may have a right to payment that is senior to most other debts of the borrowers. The Fund may invest in participations in senior loans, may purchase assignments of portions of senior loans from third parties and may act as one of the group of lenders originating a senior loan. Generally, senior floating rate loans are secured by specific assets of the borrower. However, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in senior loans that are not secured by any collateral.

 

[Intentionally left blank]

 

The Fund is expected to invest substantially all of its assets in senior loans and other debt instruments that are rated non-investment grade (high yield/high risk, sometimes called “junk bonds”) or if unrated, are of comparable quality as determined by the sub-adviser.

 

The Fund may invest up to 20% (in the aggregate) of its assets (including assets maintained by the Fund as a reserve against any additional loan commitments) in (i) investment grade debt securities and/or investment grade short-term debt securities with remaining maturities of one year or less, including money market securities; (ii) warrants and equity securities in connection with the Fund’s investments in senior loans or other debt instruments; (iii) senior loans, of which the interest rates are fixed and do not float or vary periodically based upon a benchmark indicator, a specified adjustment schedule or prevailing interest rates and subordinated bridge loans; (iv) secured and unsecured subordinated loans; (v) second lien and third lien loans; (vi) senior secured bonds, senior unsecured bonds and unsecured or subordinated bonds, all of varying qualities and maturities, and all which may be fixed or floating rate; (vii) other floating rate debt instruments, such as notes and asset backed securities (including special purpose trusts investing in bank loans); and (viii) loans or other debt instruments that pay-in-kind or “PIK”, which are loans or other debt instruments that pay interest through the issuance of additional securities.

 

This Fund invests principally in income producing floating rate loans and floating rate debt securities. Under normal circumstances, this Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in floating rate loans and floating rate debt securities. Floating rate loans and floating rate debt securities are those with interest rates which float, adjust or vary periodically based upon a benchmark indicator, a specified adjustment schedule or prevailing interest rates. Floating rate loans and floating rate debt securities in which the Fund invests consist of senior secured and unsecured floating rate loans, secured and unsecured second lien floating rate loans, and floating rate debt securities of domestic and foreign issuers. Senior floating rate loans and some floating rate debt securities are debt instruments that may have a right to payment that is senior to most other debts of the borrowers. Second lien loans are generally second in line in terms of repayment priority with respect to the pledged collateral. Borrowers may include corporations, partnerships and other entities that operate in a variety of industries and geographic regions. Generally, secured floating rate loans are secured by specific assets of the borrower.

 

Floating rate loans will generally be purchased from banks or other financial institutions through assignments or participations. A direct interest in a floating rate loan may be acquired directly from the agent of the lender or another lender by assignment or an indirect interest may be acquired as a participation in another lender’s portion of a floating rate loan.

 

The Fund is expected to invest substantially all of its assets in floating rate loans and other debt instruments that are rated non-investment grade or, if unrated, are of comparable quality as determined by the Manager. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in certain other types of debt instruments or securities including non-investment grade (high yield/high risk, sometimes called “junk bonds”) debt instruments.

Floating Rate Loan Portfolio

(Acquired Fund)

 

Floating Rate Income Portfolio

(Surviving Fund)

 

The sub-adviser seeks to invest in a portfolio of loans that it believes will be less volatile over time than the general loan market. The sub-adviser seeks to maintain broad borrower and industry diversification among the Fund’s senior loans.

 

Subject to other limitations described above, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in foreign senior loans and foreign securities.

 

When selecting an investment, the sub-adviser seeks to implement a systematic risk-weighted approach that utilizes a fundamental analysis of risk/return characteristics. An investment may be sold if, in the opinion of the sub-adviser, the risk/return profile deteriorates or to pursue more attractive investment opportunities. The sub-adviser considers preservation of capital in its investment decisions when consistent with the Fund’s investment goal.

 

[Intentionally left blank]

 

The Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in U.S. dollar denominated foreign investments, principally in developed markets.

 

Individual investment selection is based on the Manager’s fundamental research process and an assessment of the investment’s relative value. The Manager performs a credit analysis on each potential investment. An investment is generally sold when the issue has realized its price appreciation target, the issue no longer offers relative value, or an adverse change in corporate or sector fundamentals has occurred. Sector allocations are determined based on the Manager's assessment of investment opportunities and/or market conditions.

Comparison of Principal Investment Strategies of Investing in the Funds

 

Similarities in principal investment strategies. Both Funds are actively managed and invest principally in floating rate loans. Both Funds invest substantially all of their assets in senior loans and other debt instruments that are rated non-investment grade or, if unrated, are of comparable quality as determined by the Fund Manager. As you can see from the tables above, this principal investment strategy results in similar fund composition for the Funds. Also as a result, many of the principal risks of investing in the Surviving Fund are the same as the principal risks of investing in the Acquired Fund, specifically active management risk, credit risk, debt securities risk, floating rate loan risk, high yield/high risk or “junk” securities risk, interest rate risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, market and regulatory risk and price volatility risk. Both Funds may also invest up to 25% of their assets in foreign senior loans and investments. As a result, both Funds are subject to foreign markets risk. While not a result of an investment strategy, the Funds are both underlying fund investment options for certain funds of funds of the Trust and are therefore both subject to underlying fund risk as well.

 

Differences in principal investment strategies. While both Funds may invest up to 25% of their assets in foreign senior loans and investments, the Surviving Fund may only invest in such investments if they are U.S. dollar-denominated and principally in developed markets. Accordingly, the Surviving Fund is not subject to currency risk as a principal risk whereas the Acquired Fund is. Pacific Asset Management may also consider sector allocations as part of its buy-sell strategy for the Surviving Fund. Sector allocations are determined based on Pacific Asset Management’s assessment of investment opportunities and/or market conditions. As a result, the Surviving Fund is subject to sector risk; the Acquired Fund is not subject to this risk as a principal risk.

 

VI.         COMPARISON OF FUND PERFORMANCE

 

The bar charts and Average Annual Total Returns table below provide some indication of the risk of investing in the Funds by showing changes in the performance of the Funds from year to year and showing how the Funds’ returns compare to the returns of their benchmark index. The bar charts show the performance of the Funds’ Class I shares. Returns do not reflect fees and expenses of any variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy, and would be lower if they did. Past performance is not necessarily an indication of how a Fund will perform in the future. Performance reflects fee waivers or expense limitations, if any, that were in effect during the periods presented.

(1)Information for Class I of the Acquired Fund is not presented because it has more than 10 years of operations and is not required.

 

(2)The S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index is the benchmark index for the Floating Rate Loan Portfolio (the Acquired Fund). The S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index is a daily total return index that uses Loan Syndications & Trading Association/Loan Pricing Corporation (“LSTA/LPC”) mark-to-market pricing to calculate market value change. On a real-time basis, the leveraged loan index (“LLI”) tracks the current outstanding balance and spread over London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for fully funded term loans. The facilities included in the LLI represent a broad cross section of leveraged loans syndicated in the U.S., including dollar-denominated loans to overseas issuers. Returns include reinvested distributions, but do not reflect deductions for fees, expenses or taxes.

 

(3)The Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index is the benchmark index for the Floating Rate Income Portfolio (the Surviving Fund). The Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index tracks the investable market of the U.S. dollar-denominated leveraged loan market. It consists of issues rated “5B” or lower, meaning that the highest rated issues included in this index are Moody’s/S&P ratings of Baa1/BB+ or Ba1/BBB+. All loans are funded term loans with a tenor of at least one year and are made by issuers domiciled in developed countries. Returns include reinvested distributions, but do not reflect deductions for fees, expenses or taxes.

Although performance between the Funds has been comparable, the Surviving Fund’s monthly returns over the 1-, 3, and 5-year periods as of June 30, 2018 have been less volatile than the Acquiring Fund’s monthly returns (as determined by a statistical measurement called “standard deviation”). When a fund has a higher volatility of returns (or a higher standard deviation), that means that the magnitude of its returns (both positive and negative) will be greater than a fund that has lower volatility of returns (or lower standard deviation). As shown in the table below, the Surviving Fund’s standard deviation is lower than the Acquired Fund’s standard deviation over the 1-, 3- and 5-year periods as of June 30, 2018. It should be noted, however, that historical volatility is not an indicator or guarantee of future volatility.

VII.         ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATION

 

The Plan of Reorganization

 

Significant provisions of the Plan are summarized below. For more information about the Reorganization, please refer to the copy of the Plan attached as Appendix A.

 

The Plan provides for the transfer of all of the assets of the Acquired Fund (which are comprised of Class I shares and Class P shares) to the Surviving Fund in exchange for Class I shares and Class P shares of the Surviving Fund, respectively, and the assumption by the Surviving Fund of all liabilities of the Acquired Fund, followed immediately by the distribution by the Acquired Fund to its shareholders of the portion of shares of the Surviving Fund to which the shareholder is entitled in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund.

 

If approved by shareholders, the Reorganization is expected to be effective after the close of business on the Closing Date. As a result of the Reorganization, each shareholder of the Acquired Fund would hold, immediately after the Reorganization, Class I and Class P shares of the Surviving Fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the number of Class I and Class P shares of the Acquired Fund, respectively, held by that shareholder immediately prior to the Reorganization. Until the Closing Date, shareholders of the Acquired Fund will continue to be able to redeem their shares. Redemption requests received after the Closing Date will be treated as requests for the redemption of shares of the Surviving Fund.

 

18 | Page 

 

The obligations of the Funds under the Plan are subject to various conditions, including approval by shareholders of the Acquired Fund. The Plan also requires that each of the Funds takes, or causes to be taken, all actions, and does or causes to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by the Plan. The Plan may be terminated by resolution of the Board or on certain other grounds. Please refer to Appendix A to review the terms and conditions of the Plan.

 

Reasons for the Reorganization and Board Considerations

 

The Plan was presented to the Board for consideration and approved at a meeting on September 26, 2018. At the Board meeting, as discussed further below, the Independent Trustees reviewed, with the assistance of independent counsel, the Adviser’s recommendation for the Reorganization, the principal terms and conditions of the Plan, and certain other materials provided by the Adviser regarding the Reorganization. For the reasons discussed below, after careful consideration and deliberation, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined that the proposed Reorganization (i) is in the best interests of both the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund and their shareholders and (ii) would not dilute the interests of shareholders of the Acquired Fund or Surviving Fund.

 

In approving the Plan and recommending that Contract Owners approve the Plan, the Trustees took into account a number of factors. Some of the more prominent considerations are discussed further below:

 

Identical Investment Goals and Similar Investment Strategies and Other Characteristics. The Trustees considered the identical investment goals, and the similarities and differences in the investment strategies, types of investments, and other characteristics of the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund.

 

Lower Advisory Fee and Expenses. The Trustees considered that the Surviving Fund has a lower gross advisory fee (although the current net advisory fee for the Acquired Fund and Surviving Fund are the same) and lower total annual fund operating expense ratio compared to the Acquired Fund, and that the total expenses paid by shareholders of the Acquired Fund, as shareholders of the Surviving Fund, are expected to decrease as a result of the Reorganization. The Trustees noted that the Adviser has agreed to waive 0.05% of its advisory fee for the Surviving Fund through April 30, 2022 if the Plan of Reorganization is approved by shareholders, after which the waiver would be reviewed annually. The combined assets of the Surviving Fund and the Acquired Fund are expected to reach an advisory fee breakpoint at current asset levels that would further reduce the Surviving Fund’s advisory fee on assets over $1 billion. The Trustees also noted that expenses paid by shareholders of the Surviving Fund are expected to decrease as a result of the Reorganization.

 

Comparable Performance. The Trustees considered that the Surviving Fund and the Acquired Fund have had comparable performance. The Trustees reviewed and compared the performance of the Funds for 1-, 3- and 5-year periods ended 12/31/17 as well as updated performance and historical standard deviation data for 1-, 3- and 5-year periods ended 6/30/18. The Trustees also considered that the Surviving Fund incepted on April 30, 2013 with Pacific Asset Management managing the Surviving Fund since inception and that the Acquired Fund incepted on May 1, 2007 with Eaton Vance Investment Managers managing the Acquired Fund since May 1, 2010 with some investment policies changing at that time.

 

Continuity of Management and Compliance Oversight. The Trustees considered the continuity of management and compliance oversight, noting that PLFA is investment adviser to both Funds, but that there will be a change in manager as Pacific Asset Management is the manager to the Surviving Fund.

 

The Terms and Conditions of the Reorganization. The Trustees considered the terms and conditions of the Reorganization and that the Reorganization is structured so as not to result in any dilution of the interests of any shareholders; and that PLFA will bear half of the costs and expenses of the Reorganization and that the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund would each bear one quarter of the costs and expenses of the Reorganization.

 

19 | Page 

 

Tax Consequences. The Trustees considered that Contract Owners that invest in either the Acquired Fund or the Surviving Fund will not recognize any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Reorganization.

 

Conflicts of Interest. In addition, the Trustees considered the benefits that may be realized by the Adviser and Pacific Asset Management as a result of the Reorganization and potential conflicts of interest relating to the Adviser’s recommendation in favor of the Reorganization, including that the Adviser does business as Pacific Asset Management and that the Adviser will realize an increase in advisory fee retention as a result of the Reorganization.

 

Tax Considerations

 

The Reorganization will not cause the Contract Owners who invest in the Acquired Fund or the Surviving Fund, and remain so invested through the Closing Date, to recognize any gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes from the transactions contemplated by the Plan or Reorganization. As a condition to the closing of the Reorganization, each Fund will receive an opinion from the law firm of Dechert LLP to the effect that the Reorganization will not cause the Contract Owners who invest in the Acquired Fund or the Surviving Fund and remain so invested through the Closing Date to recognize any gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes. That opinion will be based in part upon certain assumptions and upon certain representations made by PLIC and PL&A.

 

Exchanges

 

After the Reorganization, shareholders of the Surviving Fund will continue to be able to exchange shares of the Surviving Fund into shares of other funds offered by the Trust, subject to investment options available to them under their applicable Variable Contracts. PLIC and PL&A have informed the Trust that transfers out of the Surviving Fund within 30 days after the Closing Date will not count as a transfer for purposes of transfer limitations under the Variable Contract. A list of the current funds offered by the Trust is attached as Appendix C.

 

Expenses of the Reorganization

 

PLFA will bear one half of the expenses of the Reorganization. The Acquired Fund and Surviving Fund will each bear one quarter of the expenses of the Reorganization. The costs of the Reorganization shall include: preparation of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, printing and distributing the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the Surviving Fund’s prospectus and the Acquired Fund’s proxy materials, the costs of solicitation of voting instructions (including assembly and mailing of materials to owners of Variable Contracts) and any necessary filings with the SEC, legal fees, accounting fees, securities registration fees, and expenses of holding the Meeting. These expenses are considered extraordinary expenses and fall outside of the Funds’ expense limitation agreement. The total expenses for the Reorganization are estimated to be $300,000.

 

Unresolved Legal Claims

 

The Acquired Fund is a plaintiff in certain outstanding litigation matters. The Acquired Fund has also filed claims to participate in certain class recoveries for which it may be eligible but which have not been disbursed. The potential for success on any outstanding claims cannot be reasonably predicted or quantified. If any rewards were to result from a claim for the benefit of the Acquired Fund, such benefits would likely be received after the Closing Date and therefore would inure to the benefit of the Surviving Fund.

 

Future Allocation of Premiums

 

Shares of the Acquired Fund have been purchased at the direction of Contract Owners by PLIC and/or PL&A through their respective separate accounts (“Separate Accounts”) to fund benefits payable under Variable Contracts. If the Plan of Reorganization is approved, PLIC and PL&A have advised the Trust that upon effectiveness of the Reorganization, all premiums or transfers to the Acquired Fund will be allocated to the Surviving Fund.

 

20 | Page 

 

Transfers in and out of the Acquired Fund and Surviving Fund

 

At any time prior to the Closing Date, Contract Owners may transfer out of the Acquired Fund consistent with the transfer provisions of the applicable Variable Contract prospectus. Contract Owners may transfer into any other available investment option under their policy or contract. PLIC and PL&A have informed the Trust that transfers out of the Acquired Fund within 30 days prior to the Closing Date and transfers out of the Surviving Fund within 30 days after the Closing Date will not count as a transfer for purposes of transfer limitations under the Variable Contract. A list of the current funds offered by the Trust is attached as Appendix C. Please see the Trust’s Prospectus for information about other funds of the Trust available for investment. Please see your Variable Contract prospectus for more information on transfers, including any restrictions on transfers into the Acquired Fund before the Closing Date.

 

VIII.         ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS

 

Form of Organization

 

The Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund are separate series of the Trust, which is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust also offers other funds, as listed in Appendix C, which are not involved in the Reorganization. The Trust’s affairs are managed by the Board, which is comprised of six (6) Trustees.

1PLFA has agreed to waive 0.10% of its investment advisory fee through April 30, 2019. There is no guarantee that PLFA will continue such waiver after that date.

 

2PLFA has agreed to waive 0.05% of its investment advisory fee through April 30, 2022 if the Plan of Reorganization is approved by shareholders. There is no guarantee that PLFA will continue such waiver after that date.

 

Expense Limitation Agreement

 

To help limit expenses, PLFA has contractually agreed to reimburse each Fund for certain operating expenses that exceed an annual rate of 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets through April 30, 2019. To the extent these operating expenses exceed 0.10% for either Fund, thus triggering the reimbursement provisions in the expense limitation agreement for that Fund as described above, the effect of the expense reimbursement would be shown in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table for that Fund. As these operating expenses of the Acquired Fund and Surviving Fund do not currently exceed 0.10%, neither Fund’s fee table shows the effect of an expense reimbursement in its Annual Fund Operating Expenses tables. (See Section IV - Comparison of Fees and Expenses of the Funds.) These operating expenses include, but are not limited to: organizational expenses; domestic custody expenses; expenses for accounting, audit, tax and certain legal services; preparation, printing, filing, and distribution to existing shareholders of prospectuses, shareholder reports, and other regulatory documents, as applicable; independent trustees’ fees and expenses; and establishing, overseeing and administering the Fund’s compliance program. These operating expenses do not include: management fees; distribution and/or service fees, if any; additional costs associated with foreign investing (including foreign taxes on dividends, interest, or gains); interest (including commitment fees); taxes; brokerage commissions and other transactional expenses; dividends on securities sold short; acquired fund fees and expenses; extraordinary expenses such as litigation expenses, liquidation expenses, reorganization expenses and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of each Fund’s business; and expenses of counsel or other persons or services retained by the Fund’s Independent Trustees. There is no guarantee that PLFA will continue to cap expenses for the Funds upon the expiration of the expense limitation agreement. In addition, any expense reimbursements made by PLFA to a Fund are subject to recoupment by PLFA from such Fund in future periods, not to exceed three years from the date on which the reimbursement took place, provided that the recoupment would be limited to the lesser of: (i) the expense cap in effect at the time of the reimbursement or (ii) the expense cap in effect at the time of recoupment. Any amounts repaid to PLFA will have the effect of increasing such expenses of the applicable Fund, but not above the expense cap.

IX.         ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING

 

Solicitation of proxies

 

The principal solicitation will be by mail, but voting instructions also may be solicited by telephone, Internet or in person. AST Fund Solutions, LLC (“AST”) has been retained to assist with voting instruction solicitation activities (including assembly and mailing of materials to Contract Owners). As described in Section VII – Additional Information About the Reorganization under the “Expenses of the Reorganization” sub-section, PLFA will bear half of the expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the solicitation of instructions and the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund will each bear one quarter of the remaining expenses. AST will be paid approximately $21,859 for its assistance with voting instruction solicitation activities.

 

Voting rights

 

Holders of shares of the Acquired Fund at the close of business on November 16, 2018 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to one vote for each share held, and a proportionate fraction of a vote for each fraction of a share held.

 

Class I. PLIC and PL&A are the sole shareholders of Class I of the Acquired Fund entitled to vote. PLIC and PL&A hold Class I shares of the Acquired Fund in their respective “Separate Accounts,” which are investment accounts established specifically to support obligations of the Variable Contracts. The assets and liabilities of the Separate Accounts are segregated from PLIC’s and PL&A’s general account assets and liabilities. PLIC’s and PL&A’s voting rights are being passed on to you as a Contract Owner, allowing you to provide voting instructions that will be followed when votes are cast by PLIC and PL&A at the Meeting. The number of shares for which such instruction may be given for purposes of voting at the Meeting, including any postponements or adjournments thereof, will be determined as of the Record Date.

 

23 | Page 

 

Class P. Certain funds of funds of the Trust are the sole shareholders of Class P of the Acquired Fund entitled to vote. These shareholders will vote in the same proportion as the vote of all other shareholders of the Acquired Fund (namely, the Class I shareholders of the Acquired Fund). The number of shares for which such instruction may be given for purposes of voting at the Meeting, including any postponements or adjournments thereof, will be determined as of the Record Date.

 

Voting options

 

Contract Owners may vote by mail, telephone, Internet or in person at the Meeting. To attend the Meeting in person, you will be required to provide proof of ownership of an interest in the Acquired Fund and a valid form of identification, such as a driver’s license, passport or other government-issued identification. Voting instructions, whether submitted via mail, telephone or Internet, must be received by 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time (5:00 a.m. Pacific Time) on the Meeting Date or properly submitted in person at the Meeting. If you vote by mail, the voting instruction proxy card must be properly executed (signed by all Contract Owners of record) and received at the address shown on the enclosed postage paid envelope.

 

Contract Owners may revoke a previously submitted voting instruction proxy card (“proxy card”) at any time prior to its use by providing PLIC or PL&A, as applicable, with a written revocation or duly executed proxy card bearing a later date. In addition, any Contract Owner who attends the Meeting in person may vote by ballot at the Meeting, thereby canceling any voting instruction previously given.

 

How PLIC and PL&A will vote at the Meeting:

 

(i)If you provide voting instructions timely (on a properly executed proxy card if you are voting by mail), PLIC and PL&A will vote your shares in accordance with your voting instructions.

 

(ii)If you provide a properly executed proxy card timely, but it does not include voting instructions, PLIC and PL&A will vote your shares FOR the Proposal.

 

(iii)If you provide voting instructions timely to ABSTAIN, the instruction will be counted as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum of shares is present at the Meeting and PLIC and PL&A will vote your shares AGAINST the Proposal.

 

(iv)If you do not provide voting instructions timely (and have not provided a properly executed proxy card), PLIC and PL&A will vote your shares in the same proportion as all other shareholders in the same Separate Account voted.

 

(v)If no Contract Owners of a Separate Account provide timely voting instructions (or properly executed proxy card), PLIC and PL&A will vote all shares held by such Separate Account in the same proportion as votes cast by all of its respective other Separate Accounts in the aggregate.

 

As a result of the proportional voting described in paragraphs (iv) and (v) above, a small number of Contract Owners may determine the outcome of the vote.

 

Quorum

 

The Acquired Fund must have a quorum to conduct its business at the Meeting. Holders of 30% of the outstanding shares of the Acquired Fund present in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, a majority of outstanding shares entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy, may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum is present. Shares held by shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting (including PLIC and PL&A) will be counted both for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum and for calculating the votes cast on any proposal before the meeting. Since PLIC and PL&A are the owners of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Class I shares of the Acquired Fund, and funds of funds of the Trust are the beneficial owners of the outstanding shares of the Class P shares of the Acquired Fund, it is anticipated that a quorum will be present at the meeting.

Required Vote

 

Approval of the Plan of Reorganization requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Acquired Fund. With respect to the Acquired Fund, a majority of the outstanding shares means the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the shares of the Acquired Fund present at the meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Acquired Fund are represented in person or by proxy at the meeting; or (b) more than 50% of the shares of the Acquired Fund.

 

Ownership of Shares of the Funds

 

With respect to Class I shares of the Funds. Because Class I shares of the Funds are only available as underlying investment funds for the Variable Contracts, the applicable Separate Accounts of Pacific Life and PL&A that own Class I shares of the Funds could be deemed to control the voting securities of the Funds (i.e., by owning more than 25%). However, Pacific Life and PL&A would exercise voting rights attributable to any Class I shares of the Funds owned by it (directly or indirectly) in accordance with voting instructions received by owners of the Variable Contracts.

 

With respect to Class P shares of the Funds. Because Class P shares of the Funds are only available for investment by certain funds of funds of the Trust, namely the Portfolio Optimization Portfolios and Diversified Alternatives Portfolio (and PLFA and certain of its affiliates), a Portfolio Optimization Portfolio or the Diversified Alternatives Portfolio owning more than 25% of the Class P shares of a Fund could be deemed to control the voting securities of Class P shares of the Fund. However, the Portfolio Optimization Portfolios and Diversified Alternatives Portfolio would exercise voting rights attributable to any Class P shares of the Funds owned by them in the same proportion as the vote of all other shareholders of the respective Fund (namely, the Class I shareholders of the Fund).

 

At the close of business on the Record Date, there were [ ] outstanding Class I shares and [ ] outstanding Class P shares of the Acquired Fund. The Class I shares of the Acquired Fund are offered as an investment option for PLIC and PL&A Separate Accounts. As of the Record Date, PLIC and PL&A owned, for their respective Separate Accounts, [ ] and [ ] Class I shares of the Acquired Fund, respectively, which represents [ ] and [ ] of the Acquired Fund’s outstanding Class I shares, respectively. To the knowledge of the Trust, as of the Record Date, the officers and Trustees own, as a group, less than 1% of the shares of the Acquired Fund.

 

As of the Record Date, the following shareholders owned 5% or more of the outstanding Class P shares of the Acquired Fund: [Pacific Funds Portfolio Optimization Moderate-Conservative Portfolio – %; Pacific Funds Portfolio Optimization Moderate Portfolio – %; Pacific Funds Portfolio Optimization Growth Portfolio – %, and Pacific Funds Portfolio Optimization Aggressive-Growth Portfolio – %.]

 

At the close of business on the Record Date, there were [ ] outstanding Class I shares and [ ] outstanding Class P shares of the Surviving Fund. The Class I shares of the Surviving Fund are offered as an investment option for PLIC and PL&A Separate Accounts. As of the Record Date, PLIC and PL&A owned, for their respective Separate Accounts, [ and ] Class I shares of the Surviving Fund, respectively, which represents [ ]% and [ ]% of the Surviving Fund’s outstanding Class I shares, respectively. To the knowledge of the Trust, as of the Record Date, the officers and Trustees own, as a group, less than 1% of the shares of the Surviving Fund.

 

As of the Record Date, the following shareholders owned 5% or more of the outstanding Class P shares of the Surviving Fund: [Pacific Funds Portfolio Optimization Moderate-Conservative Portfolio – %; Pacific Funds Portfolio Optimization Moderate Portfolio – %; Pacific Funds Portfolio Optimization Growth Portfolio – %, and Pacific Funds Portfolio Optimization Aggressive-Growth Portfolio – %.]

If approved by shareholders, once the Reorganization is completed, it is anticipated that PLIC and PL&A will own [ ]% and [ ]% of the Surviving Fund’s outstanding Class I shares, respectively, for their Separate Accounts, based on net assets of the Surviving Fund as of the Record Date. This estimate may change due to shareholder redemption activity in advance of the Reorganization. Once the Reorganization is completed, it is anticipated that [ FoF names ] will own [ ]% and [ ]% of the Surviving Fund’s outstanding Class P shares.

 

PLIC is a Nebraska domiciled life insurance company and a subsidiary of Pacific LifeCorp, a holding company, which in turn is a subsidiary of Pacific Mutual Holding Company, a mutual holding company. PL&A is an Arizona domiciled life insurance company and a subsidiary of PLIC. PLIC and PL&A’s principal offices are located at 700 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660.

 

X.         OTHER MATTERS TO COME BEFORE THE MEETING

 

The Trust does not know of any matters to be presented at the Meeting other than consideration of the Proposal. If other business should properly come before the Meeting, PLIC and PL&A will vote thereon in accordance with their respective best judgment.

 

Shareholder proposals

 

The Acquired Fund is not required to hold regular annual meetings and, in order to minimize its costs, does not intend to hold meetings of shareholders unless so required by applicable law, regulation, regulatory policy or if otherwise deemed advisable by the Acquired Fund’s management. Therefore, it is not practicable to specify a date by which shareholder proposals must be received in order to be incorporated in an upcoming proxy statement for an annual meeting.

APPENDIX A

 

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

 

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (the “Plan”) is adopted on September 26, 2018, by Pacific Select Fund (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, with its principal place of business at 700 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, California 92660, on behalf of the Floating Rate Income Portfolio (the “Surviving Fund”), a separate series of the Trust, and the Floating Rate Loan Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), another separate series of the Trust.

 

Under the reorganization (the “Reorganization”), the Acquired Fund (which is comprised of Class I shares and Class P shares) will transfer all of its assets to the Surviving Fund, in exchange for Class I shares and Class P shares of the Surviving Fund, respectively (the “Surviving Fund Shares”), the Surviving Fund will assume all liabilities of the Acquired Fund, and the Surviving Fund Shares will be distributed to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund in complete Reorganization of the Acquired Fund as provided herein, all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Plan.

 

WHEREAS, the Acquired Fund and Surviving Fund are each a series of the Trust, an open-end, registered investment company of the management type, and the Acquired Fund owns securities which generally are assets of the character in which the Surviving Fund is permitted to invest; and

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) has determined that the exchange of all of the assets of the Acquired Fund for Surviving Fund Shares and the assumption of all liabilities of the Acquired Fund by the Surviving Fund is in the best interests of the Surviving Fund and its shareholders and that the interests of the existing shareholders of the Surviving Fund would not be diluted as a result of this transaction; and

 

WHEREAS, the Board has also determined, with respect to the Acquired Fund, that the exchange of all of the assets of the Acquired Fund for Surviving Fund Shares and the assumption of all liabilities of the Acquired Fund by the Surviving Fund is in the best interests of the Acquired Fund and its shareholders and that the interests of the existing shareholders of the Acquired Fund would not be diluted as a result of this transaction.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Trust, on behalf of the Surviving Fund and the Acquired Fund separately, hereby approves the Plan on the following terms and conditions:

 

1.Transfer of Assets of the Acquired Fund to the Surviving Fund in Exchange for the Surviving Fund Shares, the Assumption of All Acquired Fund Liabilities and the Reorganization of the Acquired Fund.

 

1.1 Subject to the requisite approval of the Acquired Fund shareholders and the other terms and conditions herein set forth and on the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein, the Acquired Fund agrees to transfer all of the Acquired Fund’s assets, as set forth in paragraph 1.2, to the Surviving Fund, and the Surviving Fund agrees in exchange therefore: (i) to deliver to the Acquired Fund the number of full and fractional Class I and Class P shares of the Surviving Fund determined by dividing the value of the Acquired Fund’s net assets, computed in the manner and as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 2.1, by the net asset value of one Surviving Fund Share, computed in the manner and as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 2.2; and (ii) to assume all liabilities of the Acquired Fund. The proportion of Class I and Class P shares delivered by the Surviving Fund shall equal the proportion of the then outstanding Class I and Class P shares of the Acquired Fund. Such transactions shall take place at the closing provided for in paragraph 3.1 (the “Closing”).

 

1.2 The assets of the Acquired Fund to be acquired by the Surviving Fund shall consist of all assets and property, including, without limitation, all cash, securities, commodities and futures interests and dividends or interests receivable that are owned by the Acquired Fund and any deferred or prepaid expenses shown as an asset on the books of the Acquired Fund on the closing date provided for in paragraph 3.1 (the “Closing Date”). Whether or not shown as an asset on the books of the Acquired Fund on the Closing Date, assets consisting of any asserted or unasserted potential legal claims that may arise from the Acquired Fund as of the Closing Date or were constituted prior to the Closing Date, shall be considered part of the assets of the Acquired Fund.

 

A-1 

 

1.3 The Acquired Fund will endeavor to discharge all of its known liabilities and obligations prior to the Closing Date. The Surviving Fund shall also assume all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund, whether accrued or contingent, known or unknown, existing at the Valuation Date. Expenses, whether known or unknown as of the Valuation Date, associated with any asserted or unasserted potential legal claims that are assets of the Acquired Fund as set forth in paragraph 1.2, shall be considered liabilities of the Acquired Fund.

 

1.4 Immediately after the transfer of assets provided for in paragraph 1.1, the Acquired Fund will distribute to the Acquired Fund’s shareholders of record, determined as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Acquired Fund Shareholders”), on a pro rata basis within Class I and Class P, the Surviving Fund Shares received by the Acquired Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.1, and will completely liquidate and terminate. Such distribution and Reorganization will be accomplished by the transfer of the Surviving Fund Shares then credited to the account of the Acquired Fund on the books of the Surviving Fund to open accounts on the share records of the Surviving Fund in the names of the Acquired Fund Shareholders. The aggregate net asset value of Surviving Fund Shares to be so credited to Acquired Fund Shareholders shall be equal to the aggregate net asset value of the Acquired Fund shares owned by such shareholders on the Closing Date. All issued and outstanding shares of the Acquired Fund will simultaneously be canceled on the books of the Acquired Fund, although share certificates representing interests in shares of the Acquired Fund will then represent a number of Surviving Fund Shares, as determined in accordance with Section 2.3. The Surviving Fund shall not issue certificates representing the Surviving Fund Shares in connection with such exchange.

 

1.5 Ownership of Surviving Fund Shares will be shown on the books of the Fund’s transfer agent. Shares of the Surviving Fund will be issued in the manner described in the Fund’s then-current prospectus and statement of additional information.

 

1.6 Any reporting responsibility of the Acquired Fund including, but not limited to, the responsibility for filing of regulatory reports, tax returns, or other documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), any state securities commission, and any federal, state or local tax authorities or any other relevant regulatory authority, is and shall remain the responsibility of the Acquired Fund.

 

2.Valuation

 

2.1 The value of the Acquired Fund’s assets to be acquired by the Surviving Fund hereunder shall be the value of such assets computed at or about 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date (such time and date being hereinafter called the “Valuation Date”), using the valuation procedures set forth in the Acquired Fund’s then-current prospectus or statement of additional information and as established by the Board.

 

2.2 The net asset value of the Surviving Fund Shares shall be the net asset value per share computed at or about 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and after the declaration of any dividends on the Valuation Date, using the valuation procedures set forth in the Surviving Fund’s then-current prospectus or statement of additional information with respect to the Surviving Fund, and as established by the Board.

 

2.3 The number of Surviving Fund Shares to be issued (including fractional shares, if any) in exchange for the Acquired Fund’s assets shall be determined by dividing the value of the net assets of the Acquired Fund, determined using the same valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.1, by the net asset value of a Surviving Fund Share, determined in accordance with paragraph 2.2.

 

All computations of value shall be made by the Acquired Fund’s designated recordkeeping agent.

 

3.Closing and Closing Date

 

3.1 The Closing Date shall be March 1, 2019, or such other date as the parties may agree to in writing. All acts taking place at the Closing shall be deemed to take place simultaneously as of the close of business on the Closing Date, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. The close of business on the Closing Date shall be at or about 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. The Closing shall be held at the offices of the Trust or at such other time and/or place as the parties may agree.

 

3.2 The Trust shall direct State Street Bank and Trust Company, as custodian for the Trust (the “Custodian”), to deliver, at the Closing, confirmation by an authorized officer stating that (i) the Acquired Fund’s portfolio securities, cash, and any other assets (the “Assets”) were delivered in proper form to the Surviving Fund on the Closing Date, and (ii) all necessary taxes in connection with the delivery of the Assets have been paid or provision for payment has been made. The Acquired Fund’s portfolio securities shall be transferred and delivered by the Acquired Fund as of the Closing Date for the account of the Surviving Fund duly endorsed in proper form for transfer in such condition as to constitute good delivery thereof. The Custodian shall deliver as of the Closing Date by book entry, in accordance with the customary practices of such depositories and the Custodian, the Acquired Fund’s portfolio securities and instruments deposited with a securities depository, as defined in Rule 17f-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

 

A-2 

 

3.3 In the event that on the Valuation Date (a) the New York Stock Exchange or another primary trading market for portfolio securities of the Surviving Fund or the Acquired Fund shall be closed to trading or trading thereupon shall be restricted, or (b) trading or the reporting of trading on such Exchange or elsewhere shall be disrupted so that, in the judgment of the Board, accurate appraisal of the value of the net assets of the Surviving Fund or the Acquired Fund is impracticable, the Closing Date shall be postponed until the first business day after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored or on such other day as the parties may agree.

 

4.Representations and Warranties

 

4.1 Except as has been fully disclosed to and accepted by the Surviving Fund prior to the date of this Plan in a written instrument executed by an officer of the Trust, the Trust, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, represents and warrants to the Surviving Fund as follows:

APPENDIX B

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE floating rate income portfolio

(The “SURVIVING FUND”)

 

All terms used herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus unless otherwise noted.

 

Tax Information

 

The Trust currently intends that the Surviving Fund will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, the Surviving Fund is not subject to income tax; and any income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Surviving Fund would instead be taken into account by its partners, which would be the insurance companies whose separate accounts invest in the Surviving Fund, and retain the same character for federal income tax purposes.

 

The Surviving Fund also intends to comply with the requirements of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, including diversification regulations and investor control provisions that apply to mutual funds underlying variable contracts.

 

You’ll find more information about taxation in the SAI. Because the only shareholders of the Surviving Fund are the insurance companies offering the variable products and certain funds of funds of the Trust, no discussion is included here about the federal income tax consequences at the shareholder level. Shareholders of the Surviving Fund should consult their own tax advisers with regard to the federal tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of Surviving Fund shares, as well as the tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, foreign country, or other taxing jurisdiction. The federal income tax consequences for purchasers of a variable product are described in the prospectus for the variable product.

 

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

 

Pacific Select Distributors, LLC (“PSD”), the distributor for the Surviving Fund and for the variable products, may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries for the sale of the variable products and related services, including shareholder servicing. The Surviving Fund’s service fee, which is paid to PSD, can be used for a part of these payments. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the variable contract and the Surviving Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information. If offered for the Fund, Class P shares, which are only available for purchase and sale by certain funds of funds of the Trust and are not sold through financial intermediaries, do not pay a service or distribution/service fee to PSD.

 

Surviving Fund Availability

 

Class I shares of the Surviving Fund shares are offered at NAV and are available as underlying investment options for variable life insurance and variable annuity products issued or administered by Pacific Life and Pacific Life & Annuity Company (“PL&A”). These insurance companies actually own the Class I shares of the Surviving Fund. You do not buy, sell or exchange shares of the Surviving Fund — you choose investment options through your variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy. The insurance companies then invest in the Class I shares of the Surviving Fund if you choose the Surviving Fund as an investment option and redeem shares of the Surviving Fund if you choose to decrease that investment option. Any minimum initial or subsequent investment requirements and procedures for purchase or redemption of shares of the Surviving Fund that apply to your Variable Contract should be described in the prospectus for the Variable Contract. It is possible that due to the differences in the tax treatment or other considerations, the interests of various contract owners participating in the Surviving Fund might at some time be in conflict. The Trust’s Board will monitor for any material conflicts and determine what action, if any, should be taken. Class P shares are offered at NAV and are only available for purchase and sale by certain funds of funds of the Trust.

 

Trust Organization

 

The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust. Its business and affairs are managed by its Board. The Trust is comprised of multiple funds, including the Surviving Fund. The Trust may discontinue offering shares of any fund at any time or may offer shares of a new fund. If a fund were discontinued, any investment allocation to that fund would be allocated to another fund that the Trustees believe would be suitable, as long as any required regulatory approvals were met.

How Share Prices Are Calculated

 

Valuation Policy

 

The Trust’s Board has adopted a policy (“Valuation Policy”) for determining the value of the Trust’s investments each business day. Under the Valuation Policy, the Board has delegated certain functions to the Trustee Valuation Committee (“TVC”) and/or the Valuation Oversight Committee (“VOC”) or its delegate to determine the fair value of certain investments, which includes using third party pricing services. Each valuation committee that values the Surviving Fund’s investments does so in accordance with the Valuation Policy. The methodologies used to value the Surviving Fund’s investments are described in greater detail in the Investment Valuation subsection below.

 

Determination of Net Asset Value (“NAV”)

 

Each fund of the Trust is divided into shares and share classes, if applicable. The price per share of each class of the Surviving Fund’s shares is called its NAV. The NAV forms the basis for all transactions involving buying, selling, exchanging or reinvesting shares. The Surviving Fund’s NAV is calculated by taking the total value of its assets, subtracting its liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding.

 

The Surviving Fund’s NAV is calculated once per day, every day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open, including days when foreign markets and/or bond markets are closed. For purposes of calculating the NAV, the value of investments held by the Fund is generally determined as of the scheduled closing time of the NYSE, which is usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Information that becomes known to the Trust or its agents after the scheduled close of the NYSE on a particular day will not normally be used to retroactively adjust the price of an investment for that same business day. Such information may include late dividend notifications, legal or regulatory matters, corporate actions, and corrected/adjusted last sales prices or official closing prices from an exchange.

 

The Surviving Fund’s shares are purchased, sold or exchanged at the Fund’s NAV next calculated after a request to buy, sell or exchange shares is received by Pacific Life or PL&A in proper form. The insurance companies pay for shares they purchase in cash. Similarly, when shares are sold or exchanged, the Trust generally pays the insurance companies for the shares in cash. However, the Surviving Fund may, subject to approval by the Board, pay for a sale or exchange, in whole or in part, by a distribution of investments from the Surviving Fund, in lieu of cash, in accordance with applicable rules.

 

The Surviving Fund’s NAV will not be calculated on days when the NYSE is closed. There may be a delay in calculating the NAV if: (i) the NYSE is closed on a day other than a regular holiday or weekend, (ii) trading on the NYSE is restricted, (iii) an emergency exists (as determined by the SEC), making the sale of investments or determinations of NAV not practicable, or (iv) the SEC permits a delay for the protection of shareholders. Based on information obtained from the NYSE, it is anticipated that the NYSE will be closed when the following annual holidays are observed: New Year’s Day; Martin Luther King, Jr. Day; Presidents’ Day; Good Friday; Memorial Day; Independence Day; Labor Day; Thanksgiving; and Christmas Day. The NYSE is normally closed on the preceding Friday or subsequent Monday when one of these holidays falls on a Saturday or Sunday, respectively. In addition, the NYSE typically closes early (usually 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on the day after Thanksgiving and the day before Christmas Day. Although the Trust expects the same holidays to be observed in the future, the NYSE may modify its holiday schedule or hours of operation at any time.

 

Investment Valuation

 

The value of each security or other investment is the amount which the Surviving Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the investment upon its current sale in the ordinary course of business. For purposes of calculating the NAV, the value of investments held by the Surviving Fund is based primarily on pricing data obtained from various sources approved by the Board.

 

Investment Values Determined by a Trustee Valuation Committee or a Valuation Committee Approved by the Board. The Trust’s Valuation Policy includes methodologies approved for valuing investments in circumstances where market quotations are not readily available. In such circumstances, the Valuation Policy provides that the value of such investments may be determined in accordance with Board approved formulas and methodologies (“Alternate Valuation Methodologies”). Under the Valuation Policy, these Alternate Valuation Methodologies may include, among others, amortized cost, the use of broker quotes, the use of purchase prices, last reported sale/trade prices, benchmark, proxy and matrix pricing. In the event market quotations or Alternate Valuation Methodologies are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable, the value of the investments will be determined in good faith by the TVC, or determined by the VOC or its delegate pursuant to the Valuation Policy and then subsequently submitted for approval or ratification to the TVC or to the Board. Valuations determined by the TVC or the VOC or its delegate may require subjective inputs about the value of such investments. While these valuations are intended to estimate the value a Fund might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of the investments in the ordinary course of business, such values may differ from the value that a Fund would actually realize if the investments were sold or values that would be obtained if a different valuation methodology had been used.

 

B-2 

 

Market quotations are considered not readily available if: (1) the market quotations received are deemed unreliable or inaccurate, (2) approved pricing services do not provide a valuation for a particular investment, or (3) material events occur after the close of the principal market for a particular investment but prior to the scheduled close of the NYSE

 

Domestic and Foreign Debt Investments. Debt Investments, including short-term debt, are generally valued using the mean between bid and ask prices provided by approved pricing and quotation services which are based upon evaluated prices determined from various observable market and other factors. Certain debt investments are valued by using a benchmark, matrix, or other pricing methodology approved pursuant to the Valuation Policy.

 

Dividends and Distributions

 

Currently, each of the funds in the Trust, including the Surviving Fund, is treated as a partnership (each a “Partnership Fund” and together the “Partnership Funds”) for Federal income tax purposes only. The Partnership Funds are not required to distribute taxable income and capital gains for Federal income tax purposes. Each partner, which would be Pacific Life and PL&A through their respective separate accounts, and as applicable certain funds of funds of the Trust, is required to report its respective share of income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of each Partnership Fund. Under the Trust’s dividend and distributions policy, no dividend and capital gains distributions will be made by the Surviving Fund.

 

Distribution and Service Arrangements

 

Revenue Sharing Payments

 

As noted previously, the Trust serves as an investment vehicle for variable annuity and variable life insurance products issued or administered by Pacific Life and PL&A. While there is no sales load on shares of funds in the Trust, including the Surviving Fund (to the extent permitted by SEC and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) rules and other applicable laws and regulations), PSD, principal underwriter and distributor of Pacific Life’s variable insurance products, or its affiliate pays substantial cash and non-cash compensation to broker-dealers that solicit applications for variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies issued by Pacific Life and PL&A. Some of the arrangements between PSD and the broker-dealers may be referred to as “revenue sharing” arrangements. These revenue sharing arrangements are paid out of the assets of PSD or its affiliates and are not paid directly by the Surviving Fund.

 

In consideration for revenue sharing, a broker-dealer firm may be encouraged to render services to variable annuity contract and variable life insurance policy owners and may feature certain products in its sales system or give preferential access to members of its sales force or management to the detriment of other products or investment options. Refer to the product prospectus or the offering memorandum for a description of the incentives for broker-dealers, including those arising from revenue sharing arrangements with respect to the variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and a further discussion of the conflicts of interest that may be created by this compensation.

 

B-3 

 

In addition, PSD may pay all or a portion of the servicing fees it receives from the Surviving Fund under the Service Plan (described below) to broker-dealers. Not all broker-dealer firms receive additional compensation, and the amount of compensation varies and revenue sharing arrangements may vary. These payments could be significant to a firm. PSD has informed the Trust that it hopes that its affiliates will benefit from compensation arrangements to broker-dealers including revenue sharing arrangements, and it hopes such arrangements will increase the Trust’s net assets, including the Surviving Fund’s net assets. If this is the case, this could benefit the Trust and the Surviving Fund, but would also result in additional management and other fees for PLFA (the investment adviser) and its affiliates.

 

Service Plan

 

The Trust has adopted a non-12b-1 service plan (“Service Plan”) pursuant to which Class I shares of the Surviving Fund pay a service fee at an annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets attributed to Class I shares of the Fund. The service fees are paid to PSD, the Trust’s distributor, in connection with services rendered or procured to or for shareholders of the Trust or their variable contract owners. These services may include, but are not limited to: providing electronic, telephonic, and technological servicing support in connection with existing investments in the Surviving Fund; answering questions regarding the Trust, the Surviving Fund, its Managers and/or other service providers; responding to inquiries regarding this prospectus and the SAI, and supplements thereto, reports, notices, proxies and proxy statements and other information regarding the Trust; payment of compensation to broker-dealers, including PSD itself, and other financial institutions and organizations which assist in providing any of the services; and other services. The amounts paid under the Service Plan are intended to be treated as service fees under the applicable rule of FINRA regarding asset-based sales charges for investment companies. The Service Plan is not adopted as a distribution or “12b-1 plan” under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.

 

The Service Plan may be terminated at any time by vote of the majority of the Board of Trustees. Because service fees are paid out of the Surviving Fund’s assets on an ongoing basis, they will increase the cost of your investment over time. See the SAI for additional details.

 

Prevention of Disruptive Trading

 

The Surviving Fund is intended for long-term investment through variable life insurance and annuity contracts; not as a short-term trading vehicle. Accordingly, organizations or individuals that use market timing investment strategies and make frequent transfers should not choose the Surviving Fund as an investment option under their Variable Contracts. The Trust relies on any insurance company that participates in the Trust (including Pacific Life and PL&A) to enforce the Trust’s limitations on transfers by passing through the limitations and applying them to the insurer’s variable annuity contract owners and variable life insurance policy holders as if they were investing directly in the Surviving Fund.

 

Frequent, short-term trading can disrupt the management of the Trust and the Surviving Fund and can raise expenses through increased trading and transaction costs, forced and unplanned portfolio turnover, lost opportunity costs, and large asset swings that decrease the Surviving Fund’s ability to provide maximum investment return to all shareholders. In addition, certain trading activity that attempts to take advantage of inefficiencies in the valuation of the Surviving Fund’s securities holdings may dilute the interests of the remaining contract owners. This in turn can have an adverse effect on the Surviving Fund’s performance. While these issues can occur in connection with any fund of the Trust, funds holding securities that are subject to market pricing inefficiencies could be more susceptible to abuse. For example, holding international securities may be more susceptible to time-zone arbitrage which seeks to take advantage of pricing discrepancies occurring between the time of the closing of the market on which the security is traded and the time of pricing the funds. The Trust has retained a pricing service to assist in the valuation of certain foreign securities, which may reduce the ability of shareholders to engage in such arbitrage, although there is no assurance that this measure will be effective in reducing arbitrage opportunities.

 

The Trust’s Board adopted a policy with respect to limitations on transfers for all funds of the Trust, including the Surviving Fund. The limitations specified below apply to all variable annuity contract owners and variable life insurance policy holders (“Investors”), whether natural persons, partnerships, corporations, limited liability companies, trusts or any other type of entity, but do not apply directly to the insurance company in its capacity as record shareholder:

 

B-4 

 

1.An Investor may not make more than 25 (twenty-five) transfers per calendar year.

 

2.Once the 25 transfer limit is reached, one “safe harbor” transfer is permitted out of the Trust (to the extent permitted under the terms of the applicable variable contract).

 

3.For purposes of the above, multiple transfers among the funds of the Trust on the same day count as one transfer.

 

4.Transfers to or from a fund of the Trust cannot be made before the seventh calendar day following the last transfer to or from the same fund. If the seventh calendar day is not a business day, then a transfer may not occur until the next business day. The day of the last transfer is not considered a calendar day for purposes of meeting this requirement. For example, if you make a transfer into the Surviving Fund on a Monday that is a business day, you may not make any transfers to or from that Fund before the following Monday.

 

5.Insurance companies that participate in the Trust may exclude certain transactions from the above limitations, including but not limited to: fund rebalancing, approved asset allocation service transactions, approved corporate owned life insurance policy rebalancing programs, dollar cost averaging, earnings sweep, loan payments and repayments, and such other transactions as the participating insurance companies determine are appropriate and disclose such exclusions in their product prospectuses and/or offering documents. Variable Contracts may have other restrictions on buying and selling shares. See applicable prospectus and contract terms for details.

 

6.Purchases and sales by any fund that seeks to achieve its investment goal by investing primarily in other funds of the Trust (a “fund-of-funds”) are exempt from all of the above limitations.

 

The trading activity of individual contract owners is generally not identified to the Trust; and therefore, the ability of the Surviving Fund to monitor exchanges made by contract owners is limited. The Trust relies principally on Pacific Life or PL&A as the issuers or administrator of the variable contracts to monitor frequent, short-term trading within the Surviving Fund by contract owners. However, the Trust may request information from the insurance companies regarding Investors’ transfer activity to oversee the monitoring of such short-term trading activity.

 

Pacific Life and PL&A attempt to discourage frequent trading by imposing transaction limitations on variable contract owners and by monitoring certain large transaction activity through the variable contracts. Variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies may have other restrictions on buying and selling shares. Please see the product prospectus or offering memorandum of the relevant variable contracts for more information about these policies. There is no guarantee that Pacific Life and PL&A will be able to identify all individual contract owners who may be making frequent, short-term, or other disruptive or dilutive trades or to curtail their trading activity.

            Discount for lack of marketability 20.0% N/A

 

A significant increase in the discount for lack of marketability, probability of default, or spread to USD LIBOR and discount rate could result in a decrease to the fair value measurement. A significant increase in estimated liquidation value, projected revenue growth, projected EBITDA growth/margin, or EBITDA multiples could result in an increase to the fair value measurement. Conversely, significant movements in the opposite direction in each of these unobservable inputs could have the inverse effect on the fair value measurement.

 

Demand Yield: In fair valuing a senior loan note, the investment adviser utilizes one or more of the valuation techniques to assess the likelihood that the borrower will make a full repayment of the loan underlying such senior loan note relative to yields on other senior loan issued by companies of comparable credit quality. If the investment adviser believes that there is a reasonable likelihood of full repayment, the investment adviser will determine fair value using a matrix pricing approach that considers the yield on the senior loan note.

 

All other significant unobservable inputs with a total aggregate value of $3,193,067 in common stocks were provided by a single broker quote.

(Unaudited)

 

1.BASIS OF COMBINATION

 

On September 26, 2018, the Board of Trustees of Pacific Select Fund (the “Board”) approved a Plan of Reorganization whereby, subject to approval by the shareholders of the Floating Rate Loan Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), the Floating Rate Income Portfolio (the “Surviving Fund”) will acquire the assets of the Floating Rate Loan Portfolio, subject to the liabilities of such Acquired Fund, in exchange for a number of shares having an aggregate value equal to the aggregate value of the shares of the Acquired Fund (collectively, the “Reorganization”).

 

The Reorganization will be accounted for as a tax-free merger of investment companies. The pro forma financial statements are presented for the information of the reader and may not necessarily be representative of what the actual combined financial statements would have been had the Reorganization occurred as of June 30, 2018. The unaudited pro forma Statement of Assets and Liabilities and pro forma Schedule of Investments reflect the financial position of the Surviving Fund and the Acquired Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) as of June 30, 2018. The unaudited pro forma Statements of Operations reflect the results of operations of the Funds for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the period ended June 30, 2018. These statements have been derived from the Funds’ respective books and records utilized in calculating daily net asset values at the dates indicated above for the Funds under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the Surviving Fund, and results of operations of the Surviving Fund for pre-combination periods will not be restated.

 

The pro forma Statement of Assets and Liabilities, pro forma Statements of Operations, and pro forma Schedules of Investments should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Floating Rate Income and Floating Rate Loan Portfolios of Pacific Select Fund (the “Trust”) incorporated by reference in the Statement of Additional Information.

 

2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its pro forma financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the pro forma financial statements and the increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund qualifies as an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to the Investment Companies Topic of U.S. GAAP.

 

A. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME

 

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as a Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date or upon receipt of the dividend. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded daily on an accrual basis. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld, if any. A Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. A Fund will accrue such taxes and reclaims as applicable, based upon the current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which that Fund invests. Facility fees and other fees (such as origination fees) received from floating rate senior loan notes purchased (see Note 4) by a Fund are amortized over the expected term of each applicable senior loan. Commitment fees received by a Fund relating to unfunded senior loan commitments are amortized to income over the period of the commitment. Consent fees, which are compensation for agreeing to changes in the terms of debt instruments, are recorded as interest income when received. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on the basis of identified cost. Gains and losses realized on principal paydowns from mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are recorded as interest income. Litigation settlements on securities that were previously held are recorded as realized gains on investment securities.

 

B. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

 

Each Fund of the Trust is treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. As partnerships, none of these Funds are required to distribute taxable income and capital gains (see Note 9). No dividend and capital gain distributions have been paid by any Fund during the period ended June 30, 2018 and there will be no dividends and capital gains distributions paid by any Fund in future years under the current dividend and distribution policy.

 

C. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

 

The Trust’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market value of investments and other assets and liabilities, which are denominated in non-U.S. currencies, are translated into U.S. dollars based on the applicable exchange rates at the end of each business day. Purchases and sales of investments and income and expenses, denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the transaction date.

 

None of the Funds separately report the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices of investments held. Such changes are included with the net realized gain or loss and change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain or loss, if any, are reported separately as net realized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign currencies.

 

D. ALLOCATION OF INCOME, EXPENSES, GAINS AND LOSSES

 

Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses, are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative portion of net assets of each class. Certain Trust expenses directly attributable to a particular Fund are charged to that Fund (such as fund-specific transactional fees, proxies, liquidations, litigation, and organizational/start-up costs) and class-specific fees and expenses are charged directly to the respective share class within each Fund. Generally, other Trust expenses are allocated proportionately among all the Funds in relation to the net assets of each Fund.

3.VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

A. VALUATION POLICY

 

The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted a policy (“Valuation Policy”) for determining the value of the Trust’s investments each business day. Under the Valuation Policy, the Board has delegated certain functions to the Trustee Valuation Committee (“TVC”) and/or the Valuation Oversight Committee (“VOC”) or its delegate to determine the fair value of certain investments, which includes using third party pricing services. Each valuation committee that values the Funds’ investments does so in accordance with the Valuation Policy. Notes 3B and 3C below describe in greater detail the methodologies used to value each Fund’s investments.

 

B. DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE (“NAV”)

 

Each Fund presented in these pro forma financial statements is divided into shares and share classes, if applicable. The price per share of each class of a Fund’s shares is called its NAV. The NAV forms the basis for all transactions involving buying, selling, exchanging or reinvesting shares. Each Fund’s NAV is calculated by taking the total value of a Fund’s assets, subtracting a Fund’s liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding.

 

Each Fund’s NAV is calculated once per day, every day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open, including days when foreign markets and/or bond markets are closed. For purposes of calculating the NAV, the value of investments held by each Fund is generally determined as of the scheduled closing time of the NYSE, which is usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Information that becomes known to the Trust or its agents after the scheduled close of the NYSE on a particular day will not normally be used to retroactively adjust the price of an investment for that same business day. Such information may include late dividend notifications, legal or regulatory matters, corporate actions, and corrected/adjusted last sales prices or official closing prices from an exchange.

 

Each Fund’s NAV will not be calculated on days when the NYSE is closed. There may be a delay in calculating the NAV if: (i) the NYSE is closed on a day other than a regular holiday or weekend, (ii) trading on the NYSE is restricted, (iii) an emergency exists (as determined by the SEC), making the sale of investments or determinations of NAV not practicable, or (iv) the SEC permits a delay for the protection of shareholders.

 

Certain Funds may hold investments that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges. Because those investments trade on weekends and other days when the Funds do not calculate their NAVs, the value of those investments may change on days when a shareholder will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of those Funds.

 

C. INVESTMENT VALUATION

 

The value of each security or other investment is the amount which a Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the investment upon its current sale in the ordinary course of business. For purposes of calculating the NAV, the value of investments held by each Fund is based primarily on pricing data obtained from various sources approved by the Board.

 

Domestic Equity Investments

 

For domestic equity investments (including exchange-traded funds), the Trust generally uses the official closing price or last reported sale price from an exchange as of the scheduled closing time of the NYSE and does not normally take into account trading, clearances or settlements that take place after the scheduled close of the NYSE. Investments for which no official closing price or last reported sales price are reported are generally valued at the mean between the most recent bid and ask prices obtained from approved pricing services, established market makers, or from broker-dealers.

 

Foreign Equity Investments

 

For foreign equity investments, the Trust generally uses the official closing price or the last reported sale price from the principal foreign exchanges, which may be earlier than the scheduled close of the NYSE. The Trust then may adjust for market events occurring between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the scheduled close of the NYSE. The Trust has retained an independent statistical analysis service approved by the Board to assist in determining the value of certain foreign equity investments. This service utilizes proprietary computer models based on historical performance of markets and other considerations to determine adjustments for market events. Quotations of foreign investments in foreign currencies and those valued using forward currency rates are converted into U.S. dollar equivalents using a foreign exchange quotation from an approved source.

 

Domestic and Foreign Debt Investments

 

Debt investments are generally valued using the mean between bid and ask prices provided by approved pricing and quotation services, which are based upon evaluated prices determined from various observable market and other factors. Certain debt investments are valued by using a benchmark, matrix, or other pricing methodology approved pursuant to the Valuation Policy.

 

Investment Values Determined by a Valuation Committee

 

The Trust’s Valuation Policy includes methodologies approved for valuing investments in circumstances where market quotations are not readily available. In such circumstances, the Valuation Policy provides that the value of such investments may be determined in accordance with Board approved formulas and methodologies (“Alternate Valuation Methodologies”). Under the Valuation Policy these Alternate Valuation Methodologies may include, among others, amortized cost, the use of broker quotes, the use of purchase prices, last reported sale/trade prices, and benchmark, proxy, and matrix pricing. In the event market quotations or Alternate Valuation Methodologies are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable, the value of the investments will be determined in good faith by the TVC, or determined by the VOC or its delegate pursuant to the Valuation Policy and then subsequently submitted for approval or ratification to either the TVC or the Board. Valuations determined by the TVC or the VOC or its delegate may require subjective inputs about the value of such investments. While these valuations are intended to estimate the value, a Fund might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of the investments in the ordinary course of business, such values may differ from the value that a Fund would actually realize if the investments were sold or values that would be obtained if a different valuation methodology had been used.

 

 C-2

 

 PACIFIC SELECT FUND

NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited) 

 

Market quotations are considered not readily available if: (i) the market quotations received are deemed unreliable or inaccurate, (ii) approved pricing services do not provide a valuation for a particular investment, or (iii) material events occur after the close of the principal market for a particular investment but prior to the scheduled close of the NYSE.

 

D. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DISCLOSURES

 

The Trust characterizes its investments as Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 based upon the various inputs or methodologies used to value the investments. Under the Valuation Policy, the VOC determines the level in which each investment is characterized. The VOC includes investment, legal, and compliance members of the Trust’s Investment Adviser, accounting members of Pacific Life, and the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”). The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 – Significant observable market-based inputs, other than Level 1 quoted prices, or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by observable market data

 

The VOC reviews the Valuation Policy periodically (at least annually) to determine the appropriateness of the pricing methodologies used to value each Fund’s investments. The VOC also periodically evaluates how the Trust’s investments are characterized within the three-tier hierarchy and the appropriateness of third party pricing sources. The VOC also periodically (at least annually) conducts back-testing of the value of various Level 2 and Level 3 investments to evaluate the effectiveness of the pricing methodologies including the unobservable inputs used to value those investments. Such back-testing includes comparing Level 2 and Level 3 investment values to subsequently available exchange-traded prices, transaction prices, and/or observable vendor prices. All changes to the Valuation Policy are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis with material changes, as determined by the Trust’s CCO, requiring approval by the Board.

 

The inputs or methodologies used for characterizing each Fund’s investments within the three-tier hierarchy are not necessarily an indication of the relative risks associated with investing in those investments. Foreign equity investments that are valued with the assistance of a statistical research service approved by the Board (as described in Note 3C) and based on significant observable inputs are reflected as Level 2. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the hierarchy. Transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy resulting from such changes are deemed to have occurred as of the end of the reporting period. A summary of each Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2018, as categorized under the three-tier hierarchy of inputs, can be found in the Notes to pro forma Schedule of Investments section of each Fund’s pro forma Schedule of Investments.

 

The following is a description of valuation inputs and techniques that the Trust currently utilizes to fair value each major category of assets and liabilities:

 

Equity Securities (Common and Preferred Stock) and Mutual Funds

 

Equity securities (foreign or domestic) that are actively traded on a securities exchange are fair valued based on quoted prices from the applicable exchange, and to the extent valuation adjustments are not applied to these securities, they are categorized as Level 1. Equity securities traded on inactive markets and certain foreign equity securities are fair valued using significant other observable inputs which include broker-dealer quotes, recently executed transactions adjusted for changes in the benchmark index, or evaluated price quotes received from pricing vendors that take into account the integrity of the market sector and issuer, the individual characteristics of the security, and information received from broker-dealers and other market sources pertaining to the issuer or security. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of these securities would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

 

Investments in registered mutual funds, including affiliated registered mutual funds, are valued at their respective published NAV and are categorized as Level 1.

 

U.S. Treasury Obligations

 

U.S. Treasuries are fair valued based on pricing models that evaluate the mean between the most recently published bid and ask price from market data sources. The models also take into consideration yield curves and data received from active market makers and inter-dealer brokers. Yield curves change daily in response to market conditions and are generally obtained from the new issue market and broker-dealer sources. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of U.S. Treasury obligations would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

 

Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities

 

Mortgage-backed securities, including government sponsored enterprises, are fair valued using pricing models based on inputs that include issuer type, coupon, and cash flows, mortgage prepayment projection tables and adjustable rate mortgage evaluations that incorporate index data, periodic and life caps, the next coupon reset date, and the convertibility of the bond. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of mortgage-backed securities would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair value would be categorized as Level 3.

 

 C-3

 

 PACIFIC SELECT FUND 

NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited) 

 

Asset-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are fair valued using pricing models based on a security’s average life volatility. The models also take into account tranche characteristics such as coupon average life, collateral types, ratings, the issuer and tranche type, underlying collateral and performance of the collateral, and discount margin for certain floating rate issues. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of asset-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

 

Municipal Bonds

 

Municipal bonds are fair valued based on pricing models that take into account, among other factors, information received from market makers and broker-dealers, current trades, bid lists, offerings, market movements, the callability of the bond, state of issuance, benchmark yield curves, and bond insurance. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of municipal bonds would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

 

Foreign Government Bonds and Notes

 

Foreign government bonds and notes are fair valued based on discounted cash flow models that incorporate option adjusted spreads along with benchmark curves and credit spreads. In addition, international bond markets are monitored daily for information pertaining to the issuer and/or the specific issue. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of foreign government bonds and notes would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

 

Corporate Bonds and Notes and U.S. Government Agency Issues

 

Corporate bonds held by a Fund are generally comprised of two main categories: investment grade bonds and high yield bonds. Investment grade bonds are reported at fair value using various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations, live trading levels, recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, issuer credit information, and option-adjusted spread models where applicable. Fair values for high yield bonds are based primarily on broker-dealer quotations from relevant market makers and recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. The broker-dealer quotations received are supported by credit analysis of the issuer that takes into consideration credit quality assessments, daily trading activity, and the activity of the underlying equities, listed bonds, and sector-specific trends. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of corporate bonds would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

 

U.S. Government Agency Issues are reported at fair value using various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations, live trading levels, recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer, issuer credit information, and option-adjusted spread models where applicable. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of U.S. Government Agency Issues would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

 

Senior Loan Notes

 

Floating rate senior loan notes (“Senior Loans”) are fair valued based on a quoted price received from a single broker-dealer or an average of quoted prices received from multiple broker-dealers or valued relative to other benchmark securities when broker-dealer quotes are unavailable. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the fair values of Senior Loans would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

 

Credit-Oriented Investments

 

For non-publicly traded instruments that represent debt to the Trust, the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The Trust may use market transactions for identical or similar instruments or a market yield approach, which utilizes expected future cash flows that are discounted using estimated current market rates. Discounted cash flow calculations may be adjusted to reflect current market conditions and/or the perceived credit risk of each Fund as applicable. Consideration may also include an evaluation of collateral. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values for credit-oriented investments are categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

 

4.INVESTMENTS AND RISKS

 

General Investment Risks

 

An investment in each Fund represents an indirect investment in the assets owned by that Fund. As with any mutual fund, the value of the assets owned by each Fund may move up or down, and as a result, an investment in a Fund at any point in time may be worth more or less than the original amount invested.

 

A Fund’s transactions in listed securities are settled/paid for upon delivery to or from their counterparties; therefore, the risk of counterparty default for listed securities is considered minimal, as delivery of securities sold is only made once a Fund has received payment. Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been delivered by the counterparty. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligations.

 

Market and Regulatory Risks

 

Events in the financial markets and economy may cause volatility and uncertainty and affect Fund performance. Market events may affect a single issuer, industry, sector, or the market as a whole. In addition, because of interdependencies between markets, events in one market may adversely impact other markets or issuers in which a Fund invests in unforeseen ways. Traditionally liquid investments may experience periods of diminished liquidity. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value and a Fund may lose value, regardless of the individual results of the securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests. Governmental and regulatory actions, including tax law changes, may also impair Fund management and have unexpected or adverse consequences on particular markets, strategies, or investments. Future market or regulatory events may impact a Fund in unforeseen ways, such as causing the Fund to alter its existing strategies or potentially, to liquidate and close.

Equity Investments

 

Stock markets are volatile. Equity investments tend to go up or down in value, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, in response to many factors, including a company’s historical and prospective earnings, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions, and market liquidity. Due to the complexities of markets, events in one market or sector may adversely impact other markets or sectors.

 

Debt Investments

 

Debt investments are subject to many risks, including, but not limited to, interest rate risk, credit risk, market and regulatory risk, price volatility, and liquidity risk, which may affect their value. There is a risk that an issuer or guarantor of a debt investment might be unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations and might not make interest or principal payments on an instrument when those payments are due (“default”). Defaults may potentially reduce a Fund’s income or ability to recover amounts due and may reduce the value of the debt investment, sometimes dramatically. High yield/high risk or “junk” securities may be more volatile than higher rated securities. High yield/high risk securities (including loans) are typically issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy, or financially distressed and are considered to be mostly speculative in nature (high risk), subject to greater liquidity risk, and subject to a greater risk of default than higher rated securities, especially during periods of economic uncertainty or during economic downturns. Debt investments, including bonds, fixed rate loans, and short-term instruments may be affected by changes in interest rates. Debt investments with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, making them more volatile than debt investments with shorter durations or floating or adjustable interest rates. The value of debt investments may fall when interest rates rise. Certain debt investments may be difficult to value, purchase, and sell, particularly during adverse market conditions, because there is a limited market for the investment or there are restrictions on resale.

 

Given the historically low interest rate environment in the U.S., risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened. The negative impact on debt investments from potential interest rate increases could be swift and significant, including falling market values, increased redemptions and reduced liquidity. Substantial redemptions from bond and other income funds may worsen that impact. Additionally, regulations applicable to and changing business practices of broker-dealers that make markets in debt investments may result in those broker-dealers restricting their market making activities for certain debt investments, which may reduce the liquidity and increase the volatility of such debt investments.

 

Certain asset-backed instruments, such as collateralized debt obligations, collateralized mortgage obligations, and other mortgage-related securities, structured investment vehicles, and other debt investments may have exposure to subprime loans or subprime mortgages, which are loans to persons with lower credit ratings. These instruments may present credit risk that is not transparent and that is greater than indicated by their ratings. The value of these instruments may be more acutely affected by downturns in the credit markets or the real estate market than certain other investments, and it may be difficult to value these instruments because of a thin secondary market.

 

Senior Loan Participations and Assignments

 

Certain Funds may invest in Senior Loans of domestic or foreign corporations, partnerships, and other entities (“Borrowers”), the interest rates of which float or adjust periodically based upon a specified adjustment schedule, benchmark indicator, or prevailing interest rates. Senior Loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically redetermined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates generally include prime rates of one or more major U.S. banks, London Interbank Offered Rates (“LIBOR”) or certificates of deposit rates. Senior Loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the Borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which Borrowers repay cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities. Senior Loans are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, may contain certain restrictions on resale, and cannot be sold publicly. A Fund’s investments in Senior Loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties.

 

When a Fund purchases assignments, it acquires all the rights and obligations under the loan agreement of the assigning lender. Assignments may, however, be arranged through private negotiations between potential assignees and potential assignors, and the rights and obligations acquired by the purchaser of an assignment may differ from, and be more limited than those held by the assigning lender.

 

When a Fund purchases a participation of a Senior Loan interest, the Fund typically enters into a contractual agreement with the lender or other third party selling the participation. A participation interest in Senior Loans includes the right to receive payments of principal, interest, and any fees to which it is entitled from the lender and only upon receipt by the lender of payments from the Borrower, but not from the Borrower directly. When investing in a participation interest, if a Borrower is unable to meet its obligations under a loan agreement, a Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the Borrower, the selling participant, and any other persons that are interpositioned between the Fund and the Borrower. If the lead lender in a typical lending syndicate becomes insolvent, enters Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) receivership or, if not FDIC insured, enters into bankruptcy, the Fund may incur certain costs and delays in receiving payment or may suffer a loss of principal and/or interest. As of June 30, 2018, no participation interest in Senior Loans was held by any of the Funds presented in these pro forma financial statements.

 

Unfunded loan commitments on senior loan participations and assignments, if any, are marked to market daily and valued according to the Trust’s valuation policies and procedures. Any outstanding unfunded loan commitments are presented in the Notes to pro forma Schedules of Investments section of each applicable Fund’s pro forma Schedule of Investments. Any applicable net unrealized appreciation or depreciation at the end of the reporting period is recorded as an asset (unfunded loan commitment appreciation) or a liability (unfunded loan commitment depreciation) and any change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation for the reporting period is recorded as a change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on unfunded loan commitment. As of June 30, 2018, the Floating Rate Income and Floating Rate Loan Portfolios had unfunded loan commitments of $717,502 and $997,807, respectively, (see details in the Notes to pro forma Schedules of Investments).

Repurchase Agreements

 

Certain Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that the Investment Adviser or sub-adviser has determined are creditworthy. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, a Fund takes possession of an underlying security (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and a Fund to resell the security at an agreed upon price and time. Repurchase agreements permit a Fund to maintain liquidity and potentially earn income over periods of time that may be as short as overnight. The collateral for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping for the benefit of the Funds at the Trust’s custodian, or broker-dealer, or a designated sub-custodian under a tri-party repurchase agreement. All repurchase agreements entered into by a Fund are collateralized with cash or securities of a type that the Fund is permitted to hold. The collateral is evaluated daily to ensure its market value equals or exceeds the current market value of the repurchase agreements, including accrued interest, except in the case of a repurchase agreement entered into for the purposes of selling a security short, where the value of the collateral delivered to a Fund must equal or exceed 95% of the value of the repurchase price during the term of the repurchase agreement. The terms of a repurchase agreement entered into for the purposes of selling a security short may provide that the cash purchase price paid by a Fund is more than the value of the collateral received that it is obligated to return to the counterparty under the repurchase agreement. Since in such a transaction, a Fund normally will have used the collateral received to settle the short sale, a Fund will segregate liquid assets equal to the marked to market value of the collateral received that it is obligated to return to the counterparty under the repurchase agreement.

 

In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase a security held by a Fund as collateral, the Fund has the right to liquidate the security and apply the proceeds to the counterparty’s obligations to the Fund under the repurchase agreement. Upon an event of default under the repurchase agreement, if the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if the seller enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed, limited, or wholly denied.

 

Segregation and Collateral

 

If a Fund engages in certain transactions, such as derivative investments, repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions, or repurchase-to-maturity transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, it may require collateral in the form of cash or investments to be held in segregated accounts at the Trust’s custodian, with an exchange or clearing member firm, or segregated on the Fund’s books and records maintained by the custodian and/or the manager of the Fund. In each instance that segregation of collateral is required, it is done so in accordance with the 1940 Act and/or any interpretive guidance issued by the SEC. In the event of the counterparty default on the transaction, a Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds to the counterparty’s obligations to that Fund. Upon an event of default, if the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if the seller enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed, limited or wholly denied. There is also a possibility that a Fund could experience a delay in selling investments that are segregated as collateral.

 

5.INVESTMENT ADVISORY, ADMINISTRATION AND SUPPORT SERVICES, AGENCY, AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS

 

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, PLFA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Life serves as Investment Adviser to each Fund of the Trust. PLFA receives investment advisory fees from each Fund which are based on annual percentages of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Pursuant to Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trust and PLFA engage various investment management firms under PLFA’s supervision to sub-advise for certain Funds presented in these pro forma financial statements. PLFA manages the Floating Rate Income Portfolio under the name Pacific Asset Management. PLFA, as Investment Adviser to each Fund of the Trust, pays related management fees to these sub-advisers as compensation for their sub-advisory services provided to the Trust. As of June 30, 2018, the investment advisory fees that PLFA receives from each Fund based upon an annual percentage of the average daily net assets of each Fund, and the sub-adviser of each Fund, are as follows:

  0.57% on excess    

 

Pursuant to an Agreement for Administration and Support Services (the “Administration Agreement”), Pacific Life and PLFA provide support services to the Trust that are outside the scope of the Investment Adviser’s responsibilities under the Advisory Agreement. Under the Administration Agreement, the Trust compensates Pacific Life and PLFA for their expenses in providing support services to the Trust in connection with various matters, including the expense of registering and qualifying the Trust on state and Federal levels, providing legal, compliance, accounting, tax, chief compliance officer services, and on-going compliance, maintaining the Trust’s legal existence, shareholders’ meetings and expenses associated with preparing, printing and distributing reports, proxies and prospectuses to existing shareholders. The Trust reimburses Pacific Life and PLFA for these support services on an approximate cost basis.

Pursuant to a Transfer Agency Agreement, Pacific Life serves as transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for Class I shares of the Trust, without remuneration from the Trust. Pursuant to a Transfer Agency and Service Agreement, State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as transfer agent for all Class P shares of the Trust and is compensated by the Trust for these services.

 

Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, Pacific Select Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Life, serves as distributor of the Trust. The Trust adopted a service plan (the “Service Plan”) for Class I shares of each applicable Fund, under which each applicable Fund pays the Distributor an amount at an annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets of each Fund for shareholder servicing activities. Class P shares do not incur a service fee. Under the Service Plan, the service fee may be used by the Distributor for services rendered to or procured for shareholders of the Trust, or the variable annuity and variable life insurance contract owners who use the Trust as the underlying investment vehicle for their contracts. These services may include, but are not limited to: providing electronic, telephonic, and technological servicing support in connection with existing investments in the Trust; answering shareholder questions regarding the Trust, the Funds, its managers and/or other service providers; payment of compensation to broker-dealers, including the Distributor itself, and other financial institutions and organizations which assist in providing any of these services; and other services as described in the Service Plan. The Service Plan was not adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.

 

The Service Plan will each remain in effect as long as their continuance is specifically approved at least annually.

 

6.TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

 

A. ADVISORY FEES, DISTRIBUTION AND/OR SERVICE FEES AND EXPENSES FOR SUPPORT SERVICES

 

The Investment Adviser, the Distributor, and Pacific Life are related parties. The advisory fees earned by the Investment Adviser, including any advisory fee waiver, distribution and/or service fees earned by the Distributor, and expenses for support services recovered by PLFA and Pacific Life (see Note 5) from each Fund presented in these pro forma financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2018 are presented in the pro forma Statements of Operations. The amounts of each of these fees that remained payable as of June 30, 2018 are presented in the pro forma Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

B. EXPENSE LIMITATION AGREEMENTS

 

To help limit the Trust’s expenses, PLFA has contractually agreed to reimburse each Fund presented in these pro forma financial statements for certain operating expenses that exceed an annual rate of 0.10% of a Fund’s average daily net assets through April 30, 2019 (“expense cap”). These operating expenses include, but are not limited to: organizational expenses; domestic custody expenses; expenses for accounting, audit, tax, and certain legal services; preparation, printing, filing, and distribution to existing shareholders of proxies, prospectuses and shareholder reports, and other regulatory documents, as applicable; independent trustees’ fees and expenses; and establishing, overseeing, and administering the Trust’s compliance program. These operating expenses do not include: investment advisory fees; distribution and/or service fees; additional costs associated with foreign investing (including foreign taxes on dividends, interest or gains); interest (including commitment fees); taxes; brokerage commissions and other transactional expenses; dividends on securities sold short; acquired fund fees and expenses; extraordinary expenses such as litigation expenses, liquidation expenses, reorganization expenses and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of each Fund’s business; and expenses of counsel or other persons or services retained by the independent trustees.

 

There is no guarantee that PLFA will continue to cap expenses for a Fund upon the expiration of the expense cap. In addition, any expense reimbursements made by PLFA to a Fund are subject to recoupment by PLFA from such Fund in future periods, not to exceed three years from the date on which the reimbursement took place, provided that the recoupment would be limited to the lesser of: (i) the expense cap in effect at the time of the reimbursement or (ii) the expense cap in effect at the time of recoupment. Any amounts repaid to PLFA will have the effect of increasing such expenses of the applicable Fund, but not above the expense cap. The amounts of adviser reimbursement to each of applicable Fund presented in these pro forma financial statements for period ended June 30, 2018 are presented in the pro forma Statements of Operations. Any amounts that remained due from the Investment Adviser as of June 30, 2018 are presented in the pro forma Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

There was no recoupment of expense reimbursement by PLFA from any other Funds presented in these pro forma financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2018.

 

C. INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES

 

The Trust pays each independent trustee of the Board retainer fees and specified amounts for various Board and committee services and for chairing those committees. The fees and expenses of the independent trustees of the Board are presented in the pro forma Statements of Operations. Each independent trustee of the Board is eligible to participate in the Trust’s Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan allows each independent trustee to voluntarily defer receipt of all or a percentage of fees, which otherwise would be payable for services performed. Amounts in the deferral account are obligations of each Fund at the time of such deferral and are payable in accordance with the Plan. An independent trustee who defers compensation has the ability to select credit rate options that track the performance, at NAV of Class I shares of the Trust or at NAV of Class A of certain series of the Pacific Funds Series Trust without a sales load. Pacific Funds Series Trust is a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the 1940 Act as an open-end management investment company. PLFA is the Investment Adviser to Pacific Funds Series Trust. The obligation of each Fund under the Plan (the “DCP Liability”) is recorded as a liability (accrued trustees’ fees and expenses and deferred compensation). Accordingly, the market value appreciation or depreciation on a Fund’s DCP Liability account will cause the expenses of that Fund to increase or decrease due to market fluctuation. The change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on a Fund’s DCP Liability account is recorded as an increase or decrease to expenses (trustees’ fees and expenses). For the period ended June 30, 2018, such expenses decreased by $196 for all applicable Funds presented in these pro forma financial statements as a result of the market value appreciation on such accounts. As of June 30, 2018 the total amount in the DCP Liability accounts was $16,143 for all applicable Funds presented in these pro forma financial statements.

D. OFFICERS OF THE TRUST

 

All officers of the Trust are also officers of Pacific Life and/or PLFA and received no compensation from the Trust.

 

E. INDEMNIFICATIONS

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust entered into an agreement with each of the trustees which provides that the Trust will indemnify and hold harmless each trustee against any expenses actually and reasonably incurred by any trustee in any proceeding arising out of or in connection with the trustee’s services to the Trust, to the fullest extent permitted by the Trust’s Declaration of Trust and By-Laws, the general trust law of the State of Delaware, the Securities Act of 1933, and the 1940 Act, each as now or hereinafter in force. In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers and others that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements and agreements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Trust and/or the trustees and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

 

F. INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS

 

In accordance with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act and applicable Trust policies and procedures, purchase and sale transactions may be conducted between a Fund of the Trust and another Fund of the Trust or certain affiliates of the Trust if conducted at the independent “current market price” (the last sales price, intra-day price, or average of highest bid/lowest offer, as applicable) on a commission-free basis with no remuneration paid in connection with the transaction (other than cash payment against prompt delivery). At the quarterly Board meeting subsequent to the purchase and sale transactions taking place, the Board will be asked to determine that the transactions were conducted in compliance with applicable Trust policies and procedures.

 

For the period ended June 30, 2018, there were no purchase and sale transactions with an affiliated Fund conducted in compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act.

 

7.COMMITTED LINE OF CREDIT

 

The Trust has an unsecured $75,000,000 committed revolving line of credit agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”), which is renewed annually. The interest rate on borrowing under the line of credit agreement is the higher of the Federal Funds effective rate or the One-Month LIBOR rate, plus 1.25%. The Trust pays the Bank a commitment fee equal to 0.25% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line of credit, up to an annual maximum of $187,500. As of June 30, 2018, the actual interest rate on borrowing by the Trust was 2.81%. The committed line of credit will expire on October 31, 2018, unless renewed, and is available to all Funds presented in these pro forma financial statements. The commitment fees and interest incurred by each Fund presented in these pro forma financial statements are recorded as an expense. The commitment fees are allocated to each Fund in proportion to its relative average daily net assets and the interest expenses are charged directly to the applicable Fund.

 

None of the Funds presented in these pro forma financial statements had a loan outstanding in connection with this revolving line of credit during the period or as of June 30, 2018.

 

8.PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS

 

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2018, are summarized in the following table:

 

   Other Securities 
Portfolio   Purchases    Sales 
Floating Rate Loan (Acquired Fund)  $93,046,026   $252,841,157 
Floating Rate Income (Surviving Fund)   343,244,792    420,112,696 

 

9.FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION

 

Each Fund presented in these pro forma financial statements is treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. A Fund that is treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes is not subject to income tax; and any income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits of the Fund are instead “passed through” pro rata to the insurance companies whose separate accounts invest in the Fund and retain the same character for Federal income tax purposes. An insurance company may benefit from this tax treatment. No dividends and capital gains distributions have been made by the Funds under the current dividend and distribution policy since partnerships are not required to distribute taxable income and capital gains for Federal income tax purposes (see Note 2B).

 

The aggregate cost of investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments and net unrealized appreciation and/or depreciation on derivatives and short sales as of June 30, 2018, were as follows:

a.The difference between the total cost of investments on tax basis and investments, at cost, as presented in the pro forma Statements of Assets and Liabilities is primarily due to wash sale loss deferrals.

 

Each Fund recognizes the financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits with a corresponding income tax expense. Management has analyzed all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the pro forma financial statements. Each Fund remains subject to examination by Federal and State tax authorities for the returns filed for tax years ended as of and after December 31, 2013.

 

10.SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

 

Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest with no par value unless otherwise determined by the trustees of the Board. Changes in shares of beneficial interest of each Fund for the period ended June 30, 2018 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 were as follows:

The number of shares acquired in connection with the reorganization was calculated by dividing the net asset value of the Acquired Funds, after all the adjustments made to the pro forma operating expenses as presented in the accompanying pro forma Statements of Assets and Liabilities, by the net asset value per share of the Surviving Fund, net of acquired shares of the Acquired Fund.

 

11.REORGANIZATION EXPENSES

 

Reorganization costs are estimated at approximately $75,000 for the Acquired Fund, $75,000 for the Surviving Fund, and $150,000 for PLFA. The costs of the Reorganization shall include: preparation of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, printing and distributing the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the Surviving Fund’s prospectus and the Acquired Fund’s proxy materials, the costs of solicitation of voting instructions (including assembly and mailing of materials to owners of Variable Contracts) and any necessary filings with the SEC, legal fees, accounting fees, securities registration fees, and expenses of holding the Meeting. These expenses are considered extraordinary expenses and fall outside of the Funds’ expense limitation agreement. The total expenses for the Reorganization are estimated to be $300,000, $150,000 of which will be paid equally by shareholders of both Funds and are included in the pro forma Statements of Operations as an adjustment.

 

12.SUBSEQUENT EVENT

 

Events or transactions occurring subsequent to June 30, 2018 through the date the original financial statements were issued, have been evaluated by management in the preparation of the pro forma financial statements and no items were noted requiring additional disclosure. Management has not evaluated events after that date for presentation in these pro forma financial statements.

Certain agreements to which the Registrant is a party incorporated herein by reference from the Registrant’s registration statement provide for indemnification for certain liabilities for the trustees, officers and/or certain affiliated persons of the Registrant. The Registrant has also entered into Indemnification Agreements with each of its trustees which provide that the Registrant shall advance expenses and indemnify and hold harmless each trustee in certain circumstances against any expenses incurred by a trustee in any proceeding arising out of or in connection with the trustee’s service to the Registrant, to the fullest extent permitted by the Registrant’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust, By-Laws, the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940, and which provide for certain procedures in connection with such advancement of expenses and indemnification.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Act”) may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant by the Registrant pursuant to the Agreement and Declaration of Trust or otherwise, the Registrant is aware that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and, therefore, is unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by trustees, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant in connection with the successful defense of any act, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustees, officers or controlling persons in connection with the shares being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issues.
