Fractional shares

Following the consolidation, a shareholder of the shares of the Fund could potentially hold fractional shares. In this case, a Fund will redeem the cash value (at net asset value) of any fractional shares resulting from the consolidation. The receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares may result in a taxable event for shareholders, and each shareholder should consult their own tax advisors regarding the proper treatment of the receipt of such cash payment.
