Complex-Wide Shareholder Meeting and Proxy Campaign

Please read the Funds' definitive proxy statement. The proxy statement contains important information. Each Fund will provide its definitive proxy statement or a notice of availability of proxy materials to shareholders as of the relevant record date. Each Fund's definitive proxy statement and other related materials will also be available, without charge, on the Securities and Exchange Commission's website. This document does not constitute a solicitation of any vote or approval.

To whom it may concern:

On November 25, 2025, Capital Group is holding a complex-wide special shareholder meeting and proxy campaign in accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940. Shareholders or their representatives (e.g., plan sponsors, trustees) should have received proxy materials by email or mail from Computershare, an industry leader in running proxy campaigns that Capital Group engaged to manage this complex process. Each ballot includes a unique control number and security code, which Computershare uses to securely record votes. Shareholders will not be asked to provide personal information to vote. If shareholders question if communication is legitimate, they should contact Computershare directly at: (877) 514-4975.

The Investment Company Act of 1940 requires shareholders to elect at least two-thirds of board members. The vote is part of a routine governance cycle, with the last shareholder election in 2018. Shareholders or this representative are asked to elect the slates of board members for their respective funds.

Most^* 1940 Act funds are included in the shareholder meeting. The agenda has three components:

·

Fund board member elections - all American Funds, American Funds Insurance Series® (AFIS) and Capital Group mutual funds and Capital Group exchange-traded funds.

·

Management fee change to asset-only structure - The Bond Fund of America® (BFA), The Tax-Exempt Fund of California® (TEFCA), American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund® (AHIM), Limited Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America® (LTEX), The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America® (TEBF), American Funds Mortgage Fund® (AFMF), U.S. Government Securities Fund® (GVT), Intermediate Bond Fund of America® (IBFA), American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York® (TEFNY) and American High-Income Trust® (AHIT).

·

Fund status change to non-diversified vote - American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York (TEFNY).

*

Capital Group KKR Public-Private+ Funds are not included in this vote.

Additional information

The SEC requires funds to provide their shareholders with the opportunity to vote on items that require shareholder approval, and each proposal needs to meet a minimum threshold of total votes and votes in favor to pass.

Shareholders can expect to receive a separate ballot for each account and holding. After the initial voting materials are distributed, Computershare will initiate a call and mail campaign to solicit votes for funds that may be challenged to meet the minimum vote threshold. Shareholders will not receive calls or emails after they vote.
