[At the close of business on the Record Date, Officers and Trustees as a group directly owned less than 1% of the Fund. However, as a result of the aggregate investment in the Fund by the Adviser's affiliate described above, J. Christopher Donahue and Thomas R.

Delivery of Documents to Shareholders Sharing an Address
In an effort to reduce costs and avoid duplicate mailings, the Fund intends to deliver a single copy of certain documents to each household in which more than one shareholder of the Fund resides (so-called "householding"), as permitted by applicable rules. The Fund's "householding" program covers its Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, and supplements to each, as well as Semi-Annual and Annual Shareholder Reports and any Proxies or information statements.
Shareholders must give their written consent to participate in the "householding" program. The Fund is also permitted to treat a shareholder as having given consent ("implied consent") if: (i) shareholders with the same last name, or believed to be members of the same family, reside at the same street address or receive mail at the same post office box; (ii) the Fund gives notice of its intent to "household" at least sixty (60) days before it begins "householding"; and (iii) none of the shareholders in the household have notified the Fund or their agent of the desire to "opt out" of "householding." Shareholders who have granted written consent, or have been deemed to have granted implied consent, can revoke that consent and opt out of "householding" at any time: shareholders who purchased shares through an intermediary should contact their representative; other shareholders may call the Fund at 1-800-341-7400, Option #4. If you are a shareholder residing at an address to which one copy of the Information Statement was delivered, you may request an additional copy
