a substantially similar fund and class of another Delaware Fund as shown in the table below:

The Reorganization provides for: (a) the acquisition of all of the assets and assumption of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Portfolio by the Delaware
Value Fund, a series of Delaware Group Equity Funds II (“Acquiring Fund”) in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund; (b) the distribution of such shares to the shareholders of the Acquired Portfolio; and (c) the liquidation and termination of the
Acquired Portfolio.
The Reorganization will take place at the close of business on or about September 17, 2021.
The Acquired Portfolio will continue to accept purchases from both new and existing shareholders until close of business on September 10, 2021. Reinvested
dividends and capital gains may continue until the Reorganization date.
Prior to the closing of the Reorganization, the Acquired Portfolio will distribute to its shareholders, in one or more distributions, all of its income and
gains (net of available capital loss carryovers) not previously distributed for taxable years ending on or prior to the date of closing of the Reorganization.
Shareholders will be permitted to exchange their shares for the same share class of any of Delaware Funds® by Macquarie’s other funds prior to the
Acquired Portfolio’s reorganization date. Any exchange would be made at the current net asset value of the Acquired Portfolio and the selected Delaware Fund.
Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, you should consult your tax professional about federal, state, local, or foreign tax
consequences before making an investment in the Portfolio.
