SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS ADJOURNED UNTIL July 15, 2025
YOUR VOTE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
NO MATTER HOW LARGE OR SMALL YOUR HOLDINGS MAY BE
Dear Shareholder:
Please be aware that both Fidelity Advisor Equity Value Fund and Fidelity Advisor Value Leaders Fund have adjourned the Special Meeting of Shareholders until July 15, 2025 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time (ET).
We have adjourned the Special Meeting of Shareholders because we have either not reached a sufficient number of votes to hold the meeting and/or not received the required number of votes to approve each Agreement and Plan of Reorganization to merge Fidelity Advisor Equity Value Fund and Fidelity Advisor Value Leaders Fund into Fidelity Value Discovery Fund and Fidelity Blue Chip Value Fund, respectively. Until we receive a sufficient number of votes, the funds may continue to incur solicitation costs. You may think your vote is not important, but the only way to pass the proposals is to vote your shares.
As a shareholder, you have the right to consider the proposal(s) that is applicable to you and vote your shares. Please take a few minutes to vote by mailing your proxy card, or calling the toll-free number or visiting the website indicated on your proxy card.
If you have already voted, thank you for your response. If you have further questions, please call 1-877-208-0098.
