related to the change in persons primarily responsible for day-to-day management of the Fund was discussed in the Letter to Shareholders
for each Fund&rsquo;s First Quarter Report dated March&nbsp;31, 2023. The information was also specifically addressed in Item 8.b. of
the Form&nbsp;N-CSR/S for the period ended June&nbsp;30, 2023, filed with the SEC on August&nbsp;7, 2023. Management believes the real-time
reporting of these changes in the earlier quarterly report to shareholders and the other prior public disclosures, including in the Form&nbsp;N-CSR/S,
provided notification as intended by ICA Rule&nbsp;8b-16(b)(5).</FONT></P>
