 Other Events.

  

 On June 3, 2026, The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc. (“The Hartford”)
and Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington”) announced that they had reached a definitive agreement under which Wellington
Investment Advisors Holdings, LLP (“WIAH”), Wellington’s corporate parent, will acquire Hartford Funds Management
Group, Inc. (“HFMG”) and certain affiliates (including Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”)), a leading
provider of investment solutions for the wealth management market. Upon closing, HFMG will be integrated into Wellington’s U.S.
Wealth business, one of the world’s largest asset management firms with over $1 trillion in assets under management. This transaction
will allow Wellington to offer advisors and investors broader investment capabilities, a deeper distribution platform, and more integrated
support across the wealth management landscape.

  

 The resulting company will be wholly owned by Wellington and will operate
under the Wellington name. The transaction has been approved by both The Hartford and Wellington and is expected to close in the first
quarter of 2027.

  

 Following the closing of the above transaction, HFMC or an affiliate
will continue to serve as the investment adviser or manager to each Fund listed above contingent upon the approval of each Fund’s
Board of Trustees and each Fund’s shareholders.
