FINANCIAL ADVISOR PROXY LETTER

- For Financial Advisor Use Only -

Dear [Financial Advisor NAME]:

During the week of September 14, 2015 or shortly thereafter, your clients who were invested in one or more of the First Eagle funds on the record date of August 18, 2015, will receive a mailing with important proxy information. The proxy asks them to vote on significant proposals related to the Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on October 20, 2015.

As you are aware, in July we announced that private equity funds managed by Blackstone Capital Partners and Corsair Capital are seeking to make a majority investment in the parent company of First Eagle Investment Management. This prospective change in ownership triggers a regulatory requirement that shareholders approve “new” investment advisory agreements.

At the Special Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider proposals to approve:

· Investment advisory agreements between the First Eagle Funds and First Eagle Investment Management;

· With respect to First Eagle Fund of America only, a sub-advisory agreement between First Eagle Investment Management and Iridian Asset Management;

· The election of one member to the Board of Trustees of First Eagle Funds. (The nominee currently serves on the Board by appointment of the Trustees.)

After careful consideration, First Eagle Funds’ Board of Trustees believes that these actions are in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders and urges shareholders to vote in favor of each proposal.

First Eagle Investment Management will continue to serve as the funds’ investment adviser and there will be no change in advisory fees, service levels or the number of shares investors own as a result of this transaction. In addition, it is intended that the same portfolio managers will continue to manage the funds in accordance with the same investment objectives and policies.

We are making you aware of the proxy mailing and the Special Meeting of Shareholders because your clients may contact you with questions. We also want you to know that our proxy solicitor, AST Fund Solutions, may call your clients to confirm that they have received the proxy material, answer any questions they may have, and solicit a proxy vote. If your clients contact you about this, please recommend that they exercise their voting rights no matter how many shares they own. Early voting will help eliminate the need for follow-up mailings and phone calls.

Your clients can exercise their vote using any of the convenient methods listed on the voting instruction form that they will receive in the mail or via email. If they reach out to you and have their voting instruction form ready, you can ask them to log on to www.proxyvote.com, enter the control number found on the voting instruction form, and cast their votes.

If you have discretion to vote on behalf of your clients, we urge you to do so at your earliest convenience, using the above-mentioned web site.

If you would like to review the proxy statement yourself, you can find it at: www.proxyonline.com/docs/firsteagle2015.pdf

For your convenience, we are attaching a template of a letter you can send to your clients to encourage them to cast their vote. If at any point you or your clients have any questions about the voting process, you can reach AST Fund Solutions at (877) 896-3191 between the hours of 9:00am and 10:00pm Eastern Standard Time.

We greatly appreciate your help in encouraging your clients’ participation in this important process. Please feel free to contact me at any time with questions.

Sincerely,

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 3

For Internal Distribution Only

ALL FUNDS

PROPOSAL 1: To seek shareholder approval of the “new” advisory agreement for the Fund that will continue the existing advisory arrangement with First Eagle Investment Management, LLC (“FEIM”) subsequent to the prospective change of ownership of the parent company of FEIM, Arnhold and S. Bleichroeder Holdings, Inc.

Why are shareholders being asked to approve the “new” advisory agreement for the Fund?

A shareholder vote is required because of the prospective change of ownership of ASB Holdings (Arnhold and S. Bleichroeder Holdings, Inc.). That transaction will be considered to result in an “assignment” of the advisory agreements. The Board of Trustees of the First Eagle Funds is seeking shareholder approval of the new agreements to continue the advisory arrangements with First Eagle Investment Management.

What is meant by an “assignment”?

An “assignment” is a legal term for an event involving a change in the ultimate ownership of an investment adviser and, under the laws governing U.S. mutual funds, will terminate the advisory agreements and require that the funds seek approval from First Eagle Funds’ shareholders to continue them as “new” agreements.

How will the transaction and “new” advisory agreement affect my fund shares?

The Transaction does not affect the amount of shares you own or the total advisory fees charged to First Eagle Funds. First Eagle Investment Management will continue to serve as First Eagle Funds’ investment adviser with no change in terms or service levels.

Will the day-to-day management of my fund change as a result of the “new” advisory agreement?

It is intended that the same portfolio managers will continue to manage the Funds in accordance with the same investment objectives and policies.

How does the “new” advisory agreement differ from the existing advisory agreement?

The terms and conditions of the new advisory agreements are substantially similar to those under the current arrangements. There is no change in the advisory fees paid to the Adviser.

Will fees increase as a result of the “new” advisory agreement?

The fees payable to the Adviser under the new Agreements will be identical to the fees payable under the original Agreements.

If approved, how long will the “new” advisory agreement remain in effect?

The New Advisory Agreements do not change as to term. The agreement will remain in effect for an initial two-year term, with expected one-year terms after that.

What will happen if shareholders do not approve the “new” advisory agreement?

If the shareholders of a particular Fund do not approve the New Advisory Agreement with respect to that Fund and the Transaction is consummated, the Trustees, in consultation with the Adviser, will

consider what further action to take consistent with their fiduciary duties to that Fund. Such action will initially include obtaining for the Fund interim investment advisory services from the Adviser at no more than the current fee rate for up to 150 days following the Transaction. In the event the Transaction is not consummated, the Adviser will continue to serve as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to the terms of the existing advisory agreements.

Can you provide me with additional information on the transaction?

The transaction will lead to the prospective change of ownership of the parent company of First Eagle Investment Management, ASB Holdings. The acquisition will occur via the merger of ASB Holdings with a newly-formed subsidiary of Buyer, with ASB Holdings being the surviving company in the merger and continuing as a majority-owned subsidiary of Buyer. The transaction includes the sale by funds affiliated with TA Associates, L.P. of their entire investment in First Eagle Investment Management.

Who is the buyer?

In the Transaction, an entity owned by a consortium of funds advised or managed by Blackstone Management Partners L.L.C. (and its affiliates) and Corsair Capital, LLC (and its affiliates) and certain co-investors proposes to directly acquire a majority of the outstanding equity of ASB Holdings such that Buyer will indirectly acquire a majority interest in First Eagle Investment Management.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 1

FIRST EAGLE FUND OF AMERICA ONLY

PROPOSAL 2: To seek shareholder approval of a “new” subadvisory agreement for the Fund that will continue the existing subadvisory arrangement between FEIM and Iridian Asset Management LLC subsequent to the termination of FEIM’s advisory agreement for the Fund as a result of the Transaction.

Why are shareholders being asked to approve a “new” subadvisory agreement for the Fund?

Continuation of the subadvisory agreement as a “new” subadvisory agreement is needed because the current subadvisory agreement will terminate when the First Eagle Investment Management advisory agreement for the Fund terminates. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees of the First Eagle Funds is seeking shareholder approval to continue the subadvisory arrangement between First Eagle Investment Management and Iridian. The Board believes continuing the subadvisory arrangement will be beneficial to First Eagle Fund of America and its shareholders by, among other things, offering the continued ability to benefit from the expertise of the same portfolio managers of Iridian currently managing the Fund.

Will the day-to-day management of my fund change as a result of the “new” advisory agreement?

The same portfolio managers will continue to manage First Eagle Fund of America in accordance with the same investment objectives and policies.

How does the “new” subadvisory agreement differ from the existing advisory agreement?

The terms and conditions of the New Subadvisory Agreement are substantially similar to the original subadvisory agreement, except that certain now irrelevant references to Iridian’s former parent company have been removed.

Will fees increase as a result of the “new” subadvisory agreement?

The fees payable to Iridian under the New Subadvisory Agreement will be identical to the fees payable to Iridian for subadvisory services under the original subadvisory agreement. Those fees will continue to be paid by the Adviser and, under the New Subadvisory Agreement, there will be no increase in the total advisory fees borne by Shareholders.

If approved, how long will the “new” subadvisory agreement remain in effect?

The New Subadvisory Agreement does not change as to term. The agreement will remain in effect for an initial two-year term, with expected one-year terms after that.

What will happen if shareholders do not approve the “new” subadvisory agreement?

If the shareholders of First Eagle Fund of America do not approve the New Subdvisory Agreement and the Transaction is consummated, the Trustees, in consultation with the Adviser, will consider what further action to take consistent with their fiduciary duties to the Fund. Such action will initially include obtaining for the Fund interim investment subadvisory services from Iridian at no more than the current fee rate for up to 150 days following the Transaction. In the event the Transaction is not consummated, Iridian will continue to serve as subadviser to the Fund pursuant to the terms of the existing subadvisory agreement.
