On December 30, 2025, PineBridge Investments, LLC ("PineBridge" or the "Sub-Adviser"), the Sub-Adviser of each Fund, was acquired by MetLife, Inc. ("MetLife") and is now part of MetLife Investment Management, the institutional asset management business of MetLife. The transaction is deemed to be a "change in control" of PineBridge, which constituted an "assignment" (as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act")) of the sub-advisory agreement between PineBridge and Van Eck Associates Corporation ("VEAC") with respect to the Funds (the "Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement"). As required under the 1940 Act, the Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement provided that it shall automatically terminate upon its assignment. Accordingly, on June 3, 2025, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved a new sub-advisory agreement between PineBridge and VEAC (the "New Sub-Advisory Agreement"). The New Sub-Advisory Agreement took effect on December 30, 2025, and is similar in all material respects, including no change in services to be provided and fees, to the Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement. There have been no changes to the investment staff of PineBridge that provide services to the Funds, as well as to each Fund's portfolio managers, investment philosophy or principal investment strategies and risks, in connection with the transaction.
