1 The Management Fee, Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements have been restated to reflect current fees due to a reduction in the stated, gross Management Fee for the Fund. Prior to December 30, 2016, the annual advisory fee was 0.85% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
2 The Fund has adopted a Distribution (12b-1) Plan for its F class shares pursuant to which the F class of the Fund may incur or charge a Distribution (12-1) fee of up to a maximum of 0.05%. No such fee is currently incurred or charged by the F class of the Fund. The F class of the Fund will not incur or charge such a Distribution (12b-1) fee until such time as approved by the Fund's Board of Directors (the “Directors”).
3 The Adviser and certain of its affiliates on their own initiative have agreed to waive certain amounts of their respective fees and/or reimburse expenses. Total annual fund operating expenses (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, interest expense, extraordinary expenses, tax reclaim recovery expenses and proxy-related expenses paid by the Fund, if any) paid by the Fund's A, B, C, F and IS classes (after the voluntary waivers and/or reimbursements) will not exceed 0.94%, 1.71%, 1.68%, 0.94% and 0.62%, (the “Fee Limit”), respectively, up to but not including the later of (the “Termination Date”): (a) February 1, 2018; or (b) the date of the Fund's next effective Prospectus. While the Adviser and its affiliates currently do not anticipate terminating or increasing these arrangements prior to the Termination Date, these arrangements may only be terminated or the Fee Limit increased prior to the Termination Date with the agreement of the Directors.
