Shares purchased within the same fund family through a systematic reinvestment of capital gains and dividend distributions
Employees and registered representatives of Raymond James or its affiliates and their family members as designated by Raymond James

A shareholder in the Fund’s Class C shares will have their shares converted at net asset value to Class A shares (or the appropriate share class) of the Fund if the shares are no longer subject to a CDSC and the conversion is in line with the policies and procedures of Raymond James
