BNY Mellon has been contacted by the Dreyfus Family of Funds (“Dreyfus” or the “Funds”), in our capacity as custodian to holders of Fund shares, in connection with the Funds’ shareholder proxy solicitation effort. We understand that written materials were previously distributed by Dreyfus asking that you approve changes to the Fund’s fundamental policies and investment restrictions, including, for all Funds, those relating to lending. We are contacting you to make you aware of this recent communication, intended for you as beneficial owner.

 

In its communication to us, Dreyfus indicated that the Funds are in the middle of an important shareholder proxy solicitation effort and they have not yet received some votes.

 

          They inquired as to whether proxy materials had been received and indicated that if they had not been received, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), the Funds’ proxy solicitor, coulddeliver materials to you electronically.

 

          Dreyfus also inquired as to participation in the vote, and indicated that anyone who wished to vote by phone could do so by calling Broadridge.

 

Would you like us to transfer you to Broadridge now?

 

(If yes)

 

OK. Before I transfer you, please note that BNY Mellon is contacting you as your custodian and is not acting as a proxy solicitation agent for the Funds. Further, BNY Mellon has no recommendation, or discretion, relating to the manner in which you vote, or whether you choose to vote. Please hold while I transfer you to Broadridge.

 

(If no)

 

OK. You can call Broadridge directly at 1-866-776-7031. Dreyfus indicated that Broadridge representatives are available Monday through Friday, 9:30 AM to 9:00 PM, eastern standard time, and Saturday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, eastern standard time.

 

BNY Mellon is contacting you as your custodian and is not acting as a proxy solicitation agent for the Issuer. Further BNY Mellon has no recommendation, or discretion, relating to the manner in which you vote, or whether you choose to vote. If you have any further questions please call the Issuer’s agent at the telephone number previously provided.
