The Board of Trustees of BNY Mellon Funds Trust (the "Trust") has approved the liquidation of BNY Mellon New York Intermediate Tax-Exempt Bond Fund (the "Fund"), a series of the Trust, effective on or about August 11, 2025 (the "Liquidation Date"). Before the Liquidation Date, and at the discretion of Fund management, the Fund's portfolio securities will be sold and the Fund may cease to pursue its investment objective and policies. The liquidation of the Fund may result in one or more taxable events for shareholders subject to federal income tax.

Accordingly, effective on or about July 15, 2025, the Fund will be closed to any investments for new accounts. The Fund will continue to accept subsequent investments until the Liquidation Date, except that subsequent investments made by check or pursuant to TeleTransfer or Automatic Asset Builder no longer will be accepted after August 1, 2025. Please note that checks presented for payment to the Fund's transfer agent pursuant to the Fund's Checkwriting Privilege on or after the Liquidation Date will not be honored.

Shares held by shareholders who elect to redeem their Fund shares prior to the Liquidation Date will be redeemed in the ordinary course at the applicable net asset value per share. Fund shareholders may exchange their shares for shares of certain other funds comprising the Trust at any time before the Fund ceases operations. Each shareholder who remains in the Fund until the Liquidation Date will receive a liquidation distribution equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shares of the Fund that such shareholder then holds. Fund shareholders are encouraged to consider options that may be suitable for the reinvestment of liquidation proceeds, including exchanging into another fund comprising the Trust.
