To facilitate the anticipated Reorganization, Automated Customer Account Transfer Service ("ACATS") will be restricted as of market close on September 2, 2022, and all shares of the Fund will cease trading on the NYSE as of market close on Thursday, September 8, 2022.  On Wednesday, September 14, 2022, shareholders of the Fund who become shareholders of SMAPX pursuant to the Reorganization will hold shares of SMAPX and not the Fund. Shareholders of the Fund who become shareholders of SMAPX will receive newly issued Class A Shares of SMAPX in the Reorganization.
