The first footnote to the Transfer Agency Fee schedule in the sub-section of the Funds’ Statements of Additional Information entitled “TRANSFER AGENT” in the section entitled “OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS” is replaced with the following:

¹ The Fund pays ESC this fee for all open accounts where shareholders of the Fund hold their accounts directly with the Fund. For accounts held in the name of a financial intermediary, ESC may pay the financial intermediary an amount intended to compensate the intermediary for certain shareholder services provided by it and related expenses ("sub-transfer agency fees"). The Fund reimburses ESC for all or a portion of that amount plus an additional amount equal to ten percent of the reimbursement as compensation to ESC for the operation of the reimbursement program.
