The sources from which the special distribution was paid are estimates based on information as of 5/11/22.

To be clear, the actual conversion of the Fund from a mutual fund to an ETF is expected to be a tax-free reorganization. As a result, Fund shareholders generally will not recognize a taxable gain (or loss) for U.S. tax purposes as a result of the conversion (except with respect to cash received, as explained in the Information Statement/Prospectus previously delivered to shareholders).

However, notwithstanding the expected tax-free status of the conversion, the Fund is still required to distribute accumulated realized capital gains to satisfy its annual distribution requirements for U.S. tax purposes.

At the time of the special distribution, the Fund had accumulated realized capital gains generated in the normal course of business. Whether the Fund remained a mutual fund or converted to an ETF, there still would have been a requirement for the Fund to pay out any realized capital gains for calendar year 2022.

So, while the timing of these capital gain distributions has changed within the calendar year, the expected occurrence of the conversion did not increase or decrease the amount of accumulated realized capital gains that the Fund distributed on May 12th.

One of the benefits of ETFs is the potential for increased tax efficiency. Upon conversion to an ETF, the Fund will be able to utilize the in-kind redemption feature that should enhance tax efficiency going forward. Additionally, the ETF will benefit from lower fees for at least the first three years following conversion.
