Skeptical:

Is this a SALES CALL?

This is not a sales call – it is about an investment in . We are only calling to advise

you of the upcoming shareholder’s meeting and to offer you the convenience of casting your

vote over the phone.

Why is this CALL RECORDED? All calls are recorded for quality control purposes.

Why is your number BLOCKED?

Our dialing system currently does not allow an outbound phone number to be displayed. I would

be happy to give you our toll-free number for you to call us back.

I have NEVER BEEN CALLED

BEFORE about a shareholder meeting

I understand your concern, we know many shareholders may not have the time to review the proxy materials or vote by mail. We’re calling to offer you the convenience of voting by phone.

WHO do you WORK FOR?

 I am with Alliance Advisors*, a proxy information firm, retained by to contact shareholders about the upcoming meeting. *[Broadridge Proxy Services, if Mutual Fund] WHERE are you CALLING FROM?

Bloomfield, NJ // Houston, TX // Miami, FL

I DON’T OWN SHARES. I DON’T

HAVE AN INVESTMENT with this Company/Fund.

Our records indicate that you are currently a shareholder of , and you reside in [CITY/STATE/ZIP]. Is this correct?	[IF YES]: And your street address is [STREET ADDRESS]?

[If ADDRESS DOES NOT MATCH]:

I apologize for the inconvenience. I must have the wrong number. Thank you for your time.

Why do YOU KEEP CALLING ME?

 I apologize for the inconvenience. Your participation is important, your vote has not been recorded yet, so we are reaching out to offer the option of voting by phone.

Voting Rebuttals:

WHY do I need to vote?

We want to ensure that as many shareholders as possible are represented at the upcoming meeting. If the meeting is adjourned, it will have to be rescheduled. The funds’ Board of Trustees has recommended you vote ‘FOR’ the proposals…

I have ALREADY VOTED.

I SENT IN my proxy card.

Currently, your vote is not recorded in the system. I’d be happy to reconfirm your vote now so that it will be recorded immediately, and send you a written confirmation. The funds’ Board of Trustees has recommended you vote ‘FOR’ the proposal…

I WILL VOTE online. That’s fine. Keep in mind that the materials contain a CONTROL NUMBER that you will need to cast your vote online. Or, I can record your vote right now so it is accounted for at the meeting. The funds’ Board of Trustees has recommended a vote ‘FOR’ the proposals…
I think I’ll ABSTAIN from voting.

Would you like to cast an abstain vote, or would you prefer not to vote at all?

[IF THEY VOTE ABSTAIN]: Would you like to vote on all of your accounts accordingly?

IF THEY STATE THEY WANT TO CAST AN ABSTAIN VOTE, YOU MUST TAKE IT

Abstain to vote: I understand. Thank you and have a good day.

I WILL NOT vote.

I am NOT INTERESTED.

 I understand, just remember, your vote is important, and it helps the funds reach quorum. If you change your mind, please feel free to call us back at our Toll Free Number, thank you, have a great day.

I already SOLD my shares.

I understand. However, as of the record date, you were still a shareholder and are still eligible to take part in the upcoming shareholder’s meeting. The funds’ Board of Trustees is recommending you vote ‘FOR’ the proposals...

What do you mean by RECORD DATE?

It is the date set by the Fund—a cut-off date—on which a shareholder must be recorded as an owner of shares to be eligible to vote. The funds’ Board of Trustees is recommending you vote ‘FOR’ the proposals…

Confirming the Vote:

HOW MANY ACCOUNTS do I have? Currently, our system shows [	#	] account(s), but depending on how the account is registered all accounts may not be grouped.
What do you mean by “ALL ACCOUNTS ACCORDINGLY?”

This means you would like to vote all of your accounts with this Fund only, in the same manner (for/against/abstain). So would you like to vote on all of your accounts in the same way?

(Does not state MIDDLE INITIAL, ‘ST’,

‘AVE’, APT #, ‘JR’, ‘SR’...)

 I see a middle initial in your name….? Is that ‘JR’ or ‘SR’? … I see an apartment number…?

I don’t need you to send me a

WRITTEN CONFIRMATION.

 The confirmations are automatically generated and sent to the address on record.
I want to update the address/name on file

I understand, for that you will have to contact your broker or Financial Advisor to update name/address’’

If the SH recognizes the address and verifies it as an old address, proceed and take the vote.

If the SH does not recognize the address you will need to confirm name and full address again, we might have a wrong number.

Undecided:

How do you SUGGEST I vote?

I am not authorized to advise you on how to vote, but I can tell you that the funds’ Board

of Trustees recommends you vote ‘FOR’ the proposals. Would you like to vote with the board’s recommendation for all of your accounts?

I HAVEN’T DECIDED how to vote.

I would be happy to review the meeting agenda with you right now. It will only take a few moments…

Can you CALL ME BACK? Of course. You can also call us back at our toll-free number when you are ready to cast your vote by phone.

I have NOT RECEIVED the material.

Can you REMAIL MATERIAL?

I understand. We can email you the material within 24 hours. Can you please provide your email address?

(Agent must spell check the email address)

My BROKER / FINANCIAL ADVISOR

usually handles this.

Alliance: I understand that your broker or financial advisor handles your investment, however, I can help you cast your vote right now to help the company reach quorum.

I’d rather LET MY BROKER HANDLE it.

Can I have their name and number to update our records?

Broadridge: I understand that your broker or financial advisor handles your investment, however, you as a shareholder are being offer the convenience of voting by phone to help the funds reach quorum. I’d rather LET MY BROKER HANDLE it.

Can I have their name and number to update our records?
