Classes of Shares The Trustees are authorized, without shareholder approval, to create new series and classes of shares. The Trustees may reclassify unissued shares of the Fund into additional series or classes of shares. The Trustees also may divide or combine the shares of a class into a greater or lesser number of shares without changing the proportionate beneficial interest of a shareholder in the Fund. Shares do not have cumulative voting rights or preemptive or subscription rights. Shares may be voted in person or by proxy at shareholder meetings. The Fund currently has five classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y. All classes invest in the same investment portfolio. Only retirement plans may purchase Class N shares. Only certain institutional investors may elect to purchase Class Y shares. Each class of shares: o has its own dividends and distributions, o pays certain expenses which may be different for the different classes, o may have a different net asset value, o may have separate voting rights on matters in which interests of one class are different from interests of another class, and o votes as a class on matters that affect that class alone. Shares are freely transferable, and each share of each class has one vote at shareholder meetings, with fractional shares voting proportionally on matters submitted to the vote of shareholders. Each share of the Fund represents an interest in the Fund proportionately equal to the interest of each other share of the same class.
Classes of Stock The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be designated, respectively, “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock.” The total number of shares which the Corporation is authorized to issue is 22,131,485 shares, each with a par value of $0.01 per share. 17,000,000 shares shall be Common Stock and 5,131,485 shares shall be Preferred Stock.
Classes of Units As of the date of this Agreement, the Company has three classes of Units: Common Units, Class A Units, and Class B Units.
Establishment of Series and Classes of Shares Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.6, the Trust shall consist of the Series and Classes indicated on Schedule A attached hereto (“Schedule A”), as such Schedule A may be amended from time to time. The Series and Classes indicated on Schedule A as of the date hereof are hereby established and are referred to as the “Initial Series and Classes.” The establishment of any Series or Class of Shares (other than the Initial Series and Classes) shall be effective upon the adoption by the Trustees of a resolution that sets forth the designation of, or otherwise identifies, such Series or Class, whether directly in such resolution or by reference to, or approval of, another document that sets forth the designation of, or otherwise identifies, such Series or Class including any Registration Statement, any amendment and/or restatement of this Declaration of Trust and/or Schedule A or as otherwise provided in such resolution. Upon the establishment of any Series or Class of Shares or the termination of any existing Series or Class of Shares, Schedule A shall be amended to reflect the addition or termination of such Series or Class and any officer of the Trust is hereby authorized to make such amendment; provided that the amendment of Schedule A shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment or termination of any Series or Class in accordance with this Declaration of Trust. The relative rights and preferences of each Series and each Class (including the Initial Series and Classes) shall be as set forth herein and as set forth in any Registration Statement relating thereto, unless (with respect to any Series or Class other than the Initial Series and Classes) otherwise provided in the resolution establishing such Series or Class. Any action that may be taken by the Trustees with respect to any Series or Class, including any addition, modification, division, combination, classification, reclassification, change of name or termination may be made in the same manner as the establishment of such Series or Class. Unless otherwise provided in any Registration Statement relating thereto, Shares of the Initial Series and Classes and each additional Series or Class established pursuant to this Article III (unless otherwise provided in the resolution establishing such additional Series or Class), shall have the following relative rights and preferences:
Additional Funds or Classes of Shares In the event that the Trust establishes one or more series or classes of shares after the Agreement Effective Date, each such series or class of shares shall become a Fund or class of shares of a Fund (if applicable), under this Agreement and shall be added to Schedule A.
Sales of Funds Offering Multiple Classes Of Shares 4. The sales charge applicable to any sale of Fund shares by you and the dealer concession or commission applicable to any order from you for the purchase of Fund shares accepted by us shall be set forth in the then current Prospectus of the Fund. You shall notify us if you are not eligible to receive a dealer concession or commission. You may be deemed to be an underwriter in connection with sales by you of shares of the Fund where you receive all or substantially all of the sales charge as set forth in the Fund’s Prospectus, and therefore you may be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933.
Classes of Partnership Units The General Partner is hereby authorized to cause the Partnership to issue Partnership Units designated as Class T Units, Class S Units, Class D Units, Class I Units and Class E Units. Each such Class shall have the rights and obligations attributed to that Class under this Agreement.
