The Special Meeting was originally convened on September 14, 2017, and then adjourned and reconvened on September 26, 2017, and further adjourned and reconvened on November 16, 2017.  The shareholders of the Rainier Small/Mid Cap Equity Fund then adjourned the Special Meeting to Tuesday, December 26, 2017, at 10:00 a.m. local time, in the offices of the Rainier Trust at 601 Union Street, Suite 3525, Seattle, Washington 98101.
