Class C and Q Shares will be identical to all other Classes of the Fund in all respects except for Class designation, allocation of certain expenses attributable to Class C and Q Shares, respectively, and voting rights. Class C and Q Shares shareholders will vote separately with respect to issues affecting only Class C and Q, respectively.
