("Diamond Hill"), a subadviser to the Fund, recently announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with First Eagle Investments ("First Eagle") under which First Eagle would acquire all outstanding shares of Diamond Hill.

There have been no changes to the Fund's portfolio managers, investment objective, or principal investment strategies and risks in connection with the Transaction.
Pursuant to an exemptive order from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Acuitas, subject to Board approval, is permitted to enter into new or modified subadvisory agreements with existing or new subadvisers for the Fund without obtaining approval of Fund shareholders. Shareholders of the Fund will receive an Information Statement in the near future, as required under the exemptive order, with more detailed information about Diamond Hill and the Transaction.
