Share Class Inception: A – 5/31/07; F – 2/28/17; I – 2/29/08. Performance shown prior to the inception of a class reflects
performance and operating expenses of another class(es) (excluding sales charges, if applicable). Had fees and
expenses of a class been reflected for the periods prior to the inception of that class, performance would be different.
Since inception (SI) performance is from 5/31/07. Performance and expenses for other share classes will vary. Additional
information is in the prospectus. Only Class A assesses a sales charge.
