<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.15; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">From February 17, 2004 to December 14, 2015, Matrix Asset Advisers, Inc. ("Matrix") managed a portion of the large cap value equity allocation of the Fund's portfolio.&#160; Consistent with the Fund's multi-manager methodology, including AAI's continuous evaluation of Portfolio Managers and consideration of potential new Portfolio Managers, after evaluating Matrix, AAI deemed it in the best interest of the Fund to recommend, and the Board approved, the reallocation to Aristotle of the large cap value equity portion of the Fund's portfolio that had been managed by Matrix. Accordingly, the Portfolio Management Agreement ("Old Agreement") with Matrix was terminated on December 14, 2015, and a new Portfolio Management Agreement with Aristotle commenced on December 14, 2015.&#160;&#160; Aristotle and Matrix both manage large cap value equity portfolios and follow a fundamental, research driven investment process.&#160; AAI believes that Aristotle&#8217;s investment philosophy of investing in high quality businesses trading at discounts to Aristotle&#8217;s determination of their intrinsic values would complement the philosophies of Cornerstone Capital Management LLC, Pzena Investment Management, LLC, Delaware Investments and TCW Investment Management Company, the Fund's other current Portfolio Managers.&#160; AAI also believes that Aristotle&#8217;s experienced investment team and favorable performance record would benefit the Fund.&#160; Based upon these factors, AAI recommended that the Board approve a Portfolio Management Agreement among the Fund, AAI and Aristotle.</div>

The Old Agreement with Matrix, dated November 1, 2011, among Matrix, AAI and the Fund, was last approved by shareholders on September 30, 2011.&#160; For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, the Fund paid AAI advisory fees equal to $8,553,568 and AAI paid Matrix advisory fees equal to $870,915. During the most recent fiscal year, no fees were paid to Aristotle by the Fund, its affiliated persons or any affiliated person of such persons because Aristotle was hired as a new Portfolio Manager on December 14, 2015.</div>
