<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>The recent Consent Order involving Deutsche
Bank AG (&#8220;DB&#8221;), described below, does not involve the Registrant or DWS International GmbH (&#8220;DWSI&#8221;). DWSI
has informed the Registrant&#8217;s Board of Directors (the &#8220;Board&#8221;) that, subject to the receipt of temporary and
permanent exemptive orders (described below), DWSI believes the Consent Order will not have any material impact on the Registrant
or the ability of DWSI to perform services for the Registrant.</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">On June 17, 2020, DB resolved with the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission (&#8220;CFTC&#8221;) charges stemming from alleged violations of various swap data reporting requirements
and corresponding supervision and other failures. The matter, which was resolved by the issuance of a federal court order (&#8220;Consent
Order&#8221;), involved unintentional conduct that resulted from a system outage that prevented DB from reporting data in accordance
with applicable CFTC requirements for a period of five days in April 2016.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The matter giving rise to the Consent Order
did not arise out of any investment advisory or fund management activities of DWSI. DWS Group GmbH &amp; Co. KGaA (&#8220;DWS Group&#8221;),
of which DWSI is a wholly-owned subsidiary, is a separate publicly traded company but continues to be an affiliate of DB due to,
among other things, DB&#8217;s 79.49% ownership interest in DWS Group. Under a provision of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as a result of the Consent Order, DWSI would not be eligible to continue to provide investment advisory services to the Registrant
absent an order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;SEC&#8221;). DB and DWSI are seeking temporary and permanent
orders from the SEC to permit DWSI to continue to provide investment advisory services to the Registrant and other registered investment
companies notwithstanding the Consent Order. While there can be no assurance that the requested exemptive orders will be granted,
the SEC has granted this type of relief in the past.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Consistent with its fiduciary and other relationships
with the Registrant, and in accordance with the desire of the Board, DWSI continues to provide investment advisory services to
the Registrant.</P>
