(a) If you purchased $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of an Eagle mutual fund that were not otherwise eligible for a sales charge waiver and sell the shares within 18 months from the date of purchase, you may pay up to a 1% contingent deferred sales charge at the time of sale.
(b) Eagle Asset Management, Inc. (“Eagle”) has contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses of the fund to the extent that annual operating expenses of each class exceed a percentage of that class’ average daily net assets through February 29, 2016 as follows: Class A - 1.50%, Class C - 2.30%, Class I - 0.95%, Class R-3 - 1.70%, Class R-5 - 0.95%, and Class R-6 - 0.85%. This expense limitation excludes interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, costs relating to investments in other investment companies, dividends, and extraordinary expenses, and includes offset expense arrangements with the fund’s custodian. The contractual fee waiver can be changed only with the approval of a majority of the fund’s Board of Trustees. Any reimbursement of fund expenses or reduction in Eagle’s investment advisory fees is subject to reimbursement by the fund within the following two fiscal years, if overall expenses fall below the lesser of its then current expense cap or the expense cap in effect at the time of the fund reimbursement.

Expense example | This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same, except that the example incorporates the fee waiver/expense reimbursement arrangement for Class I shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio turnover | The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 32% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal investment strategies | During normal market conditions, the Mid Cap Stock Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in the stocks of mid-capitalization companies. The fund’s portfolio managers consider mid-capitalization companies to be those companies that, at the time of initial purchase, have market capitalizations that fall within the range of companies included in the Russell Midcap® Index during the most recent 12-month period. The Russell Midcap® Index ranged from approximately $206 million to $38 billion during the 12-month period ended December 31, 2014.
The fund will invest primarily in the stocks of companies that the portfolio managers believe may be rapidly developing their business franchises,

services and products, and have above-average earnings, cash flow and/or growth at a discount from their market value. The portfolio managers focus on common stocks of mid-capitalization companies that are believed to have sustainable advantages in their industries or sectors and fit within the portfolio management team’s growth and valuation guidelines. For this purpose, stocks include common and preferred stocks, warrants or rights exercisable into common or preferred stock, and securities convertible into common or preferred stock. The fund will sell securities when they no longer meet the portfolio managers’ investment criteria.
Principal risks | The greatest risk of investing in this fund is that you could lose money. The fund invests primarily in common stocks whose values increase and decrease in response to the activities of the companies that issued such stocks, general market conditions and/or economic conditions. As a result, the fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) also increases and decreases. Investments in this fund are subject to the following primary risks:
Equity securities are subject to stock market risk. In addition, common stock generally is subordinate to preferred stock upon the liquidation or bankruptcy of the issuing company. Preferred stocks and convertible securities are sensitive to movements in interest rates. Convertible securities also are subject to the risk that the credit standing of the issuer may have an effect on the convertible securities’ investment value. Rights and warrants do not carry dividend or voting rights with respect to the underlying securities or any rights in the assets of the issuer, and a right or a warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date;
Growth stock risk is the risk of a lack of earnings increase or lack of dividend yield;
Mid-cap company risk arises because mid-cap companies may have narrower commercial markets, limited managerial and financial resources, and more volatile performance, compared to larger, more established companies;
Small-cap company risk arises because small-cap companies may have less liquid stock, a more volatile share price, a limited product or service base, narrower commercial markets and limited access to capital, compared to larger, more established companies;
Stock market risk is the risk of broad stock market decline or volatility or a decline in particular holdings in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment; and
Value stock risk arises from the possibility that a stock’s intrinsic value may not be fully realized by the market.

Summary Prospectus | 3.1.2015
 
To obtain more current performance data as of the most recent month-end, please visit our website at eagleasset.com.
After-tax returns are calculated using the historically highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account (“IRA”). After-tax returns are shown for Class A only and after-tax returns for Class C, Class I, Class R-3, Class R-5, and Class R-6 will vary. The return after taxes on distributions and sale of fund shares may exceed the return before taxes due to an assumed tax benefit from any losses on a sale of fund shares at the end of the measurement period.
Investment Adviser | Eagle Asset Management, Inc. is the fund’s investment adviser.
Portfolio Managers | Charles Schwartz, CFA®, Betsy Pecor, CFA®, and Matthew McGeary, CFA®, are Co-Portfolio Managers of the fund and are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the fund. Mr. Schwartz, Ms. Pecor and Mr. McGeary have been Co-Portfolio Managers of the fund since 2012.
Purchase and sale of fund shares | You may purchase, redeem, or exchange Class A, C and I shares of the fund on any business day through your financial intermediary, by mail at Eagle Family of Funds, c/o U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, P.O. Box 701, Milwaukee, WI 53201-0701 (for regular mail) or 615 East Michigan Street, Third Floor, Milwaukee, WI, 53202 (for overnight service), or by telephone (800.421.4184). In Class A and Class C shares, the minimum purchase amount is $1,000 for regular accounts, $500 for retirement accounts and $50 through a periodic investment program, with a minimum subsequent investment plan of $50 per month. For individual investors, the minimum initial purchase for Class I shares is $1,000,000, while fee-based plan sponsors set their own minimum requirements. Class R-3 and Class R-5 shares can only be purchased through a participating retirement plan and the minimum initial purchase for Class R-3 shares and Class R-5 shares is set by the plan administrator. Class R-6 shares can only be purchased through a qualifying retirement plan, nonqualified deferred compensation plan, or certain voluntary employee benefit association and post-retirement benefit plans. To be eligible, shares must be held through plan administrator level or omnibus accounts held on the books of the fund. The minimum initial purchase amount for individual investors is set by the plan administrator.
Tax information | The dividends you receive from the fund will be taxed as ordinary income or net capital gain (i.e., the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an IRA, in which case you may be subject to federal income tax on withdrawals from such tax-deferred arrangement.
Payments to broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries | If you purchase shares of the fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
