Effective December 31, 2025, William H. Cunningham is retiring as an Independent Trustee. Accordingly, all references to Mr. Cunningham as a current Independent Trustee are removed from each SAI as of December 31, 2025.

Ms. Rathke and Mr. Bacic have each been designated by the Board as an "audit committee financial expert," as defined in SEC rules.

Contracts, Legal & Risk Committee.  The Board also has a standing Contracts, Legal & Risk Committee (Mr. Boyle, Ms. Ellison McKee, and Mr. Phelan). Mr. Boyle serves as Chairperson of this Committee.

Finally, certain other information in the "Board Committees" sub-section of the "Duties of Trustees; Committee Structure" section is amended, effective January 1, 2026, to reflect updated subcommittee Chairpersons for the Investment Committee as set forth below:

Investment Committee. The Board also has an Investment Committee composed of all of the Trustees. The Investment Committee has four subcommittees with the Trustees divided among the four subcommittees (each an "Investment Sub-Committee"). Messrs. Bacic and Boyle and Mses.
