*** IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PROPOSED FUND REORGANIZATION ***
Based on a recommendation by Shelton Capital Management, the adviser to the Fund, the Board of Trustees of Shelton Funds (the “Trust”) has approved a proposed reorganization (the “Reorganization”) of the Fund into the International Select Equity Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Fund.
To accomplish the Reorganization, the Board approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the acquisition of substantially all the assets of the Fund by the Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for Institutional Class and Investor Class shares of the Acquiring Fund, which would be distributed pro rata by the Fund to the holders of Direct Class and Class K shares of the Fund, respectively, in complete liquidation of the Fund. Direct Class and Class K shareholders of the Fund will become shareholders the Institutional Class and Investor Class shares, respectively, of the Acquiring Fund, receiving Institutional Class and Investor Class shares, respectively, of the Acquiring Fund equal in value to the Direct Class and Class K shares of the Fund held by the shareholders immediately prior to the Reorganization. The effect of the Reorganization will be that the Direct Class and Class K shareholders of the Fund will become Institutional Class and Investor Class shareholders, respectively, of the Acquiring Fund. The Reorganizations intended to qualify as a tax-free transaction for federal income tax purposes.
