Transfer of Shares After the Effective Time No transfers of Shares shall be made on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation at or after the Effective Time.
Status of Shares; Limitation of Shareholder Liability Shares shall be deemed to be personal property giving Shareholders only the rights provided in this Declaration. Every Shareholder, by virtue of having acquired a Share, shall be held expressly to have assented to and agreed to be bound by the terms of this Declaration and to have become a party hereto. No Shareholder shall be personally liable for the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by, contracted for, or otherwise existing with respect to, the Trust or any Series. The death, incapacity, dissolution, termination or bankruptcy of a Shareholder during the existence of the Trust shall not operate to terminate the Trust, nor entitle the representative of any such Shareholder to an accounting or to take any action in court or elsewhere against the Trust or the Trustees, but entitles such representative only to the rights of such Shareholder under this Trust. Ownership of Shares shall not entitle the Shareholder to any title in or to the whole or any part of the Trust Property or right to call for a partition or division of the same or for an accounting, nor shall the ownership of Shares constitute the Shareholders as partners. Neither the Trust nor the Trustees shall have any power to bind any Shareholder personally or to demand payment from any Shareholder for anything, other than as agreed by the Shareholder. Shareholders shall have the same limitation of personal liability as is extended to shareholders of a private corporation for profit incorporated in the State of Delaware. Every written obligation of the Trust or any Series shall contain a statement to the effect that such obligation may only be enforced against the assets of the appropriate Series or all Series; however, the omission of such statement shall not operate to bind or create personal liability for any Shareholder or Trustee.
Purchase of Shares from each Fund The Shares are offered in four classes (each, a "Class"), as described in the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented from time to time.
Purchase of Shares from the Fund 3.1 The Distributor shall have the right to buy from the Fund on behalf of investors the Shares needed, but not more than the Shares needed (except for clerical errors in transmission) to fill unconditional orders for Shares placed with the Distributor by investors or registered and qualified securities dealers and other financial institutions (selected dealers).
No Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.
No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.
Correction of Shareholder Accounts In the case of a Material NAV Error, corrections are made by correcting or “reprocessing” shareholder transactions/accounts at the correct NAV. When the NAV is understated, investors purchasing shares receive too many shares, and redeeming shareholders are paid less redemption proceeds than that to which they are entitled. When the NAV is overstated, investors purchasing shares receive too few shares for the amount paid and redeeming shareholders are paid excess redemption proceeds. Thus, correction or reprocessing of shareholder accounts results in adjusting the number of shares purchased or sold to the number that should have been acquired or sold, based on the correct NAV and the amount paid. In the case of a full redemption at an 91 understated NAV, the redeeming shareholder would be reimbursed directly for the additional amount they would have received in the absence of the NAV Error (subject to the $10 per-account correction minimum). In the case of a full redemption at an overstated NAV, TRP would determine whether to pursue reclamation of the overpayment from the shareholder (for accounts above the $10 per-account correction minimum). If TRP elects not to pursue reclamation from the shareholder, the amount of the overpayment will be paid in to the fund by TRP. Additionally, any reasonable losses and out-of-pocket expenses incurred for correcting shareholder accounts will be paid by the party responsible for causing the error. When a fund corrects shareholder accounts (and restates its NAV), investors or beneficial owners who hold shares through an intermediary (such as banks, broker-dealers, and defined contribution plan recordkeepers) will be corrected in the same manner (i.e., shareholders invested through an intermediary’s omnibus account should be transacted at the fund’s restated/official NAV). Further, there may also be losses or benefits to shareholders if the shareholders exchanged all shares of a fund with a Material NAV Error into another fund (“New Fund”) during an Error Period. Should this occur, the amount of New Fund shares may also need to be corrected to reflect the correct share amount (e.g., if a shareholder exchanges all shares of a fund with an understated NAV into a New Fund, the shareholder will receive less proceeds and therefore less shares of the New Fund and the New Fund account also would be corrected). In certain circumstances, such as, for example, where the costs of determining and administering the adjustment to shareholder accounts are excessive in relation to the adjustment, TRP may determine to implement alternative corrective action subject to approval by the fund’s Audit Committee or Trust Company’s Board. In such cases, the incremental cost of any such alternative corrective action (in excess of the cost of correction otherwise in accordance with this policy) will be borne solely by TRP. To the extent an NAV Error is corrected by adjusting shareholder accounts/transactions at the correct NAV (i.e., the NAV is restated), the restated NAV becomes the official NAV and is used for all purposes, including shareholder account/transaction correction, performance computations, “as of” transactions, and financial reporting. The restated NAV is presented on shareholder statements, web postings, and in financial reporting. If an NAV Error does not result in an NAV restatement, the original NAV remains the official NAV used for shareholder transactions and performance computations.
Distribution of Rights to Purchase Shares (a) Distribution to ADS Holders Whenever the Company intends to distribute to the holders of the Deposited Securities rights to subscribe for additional Shares, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Depositary at least 60 days prior to the proposed distribution stating whether or not it wishes such rights to be made available to Holders of ADSs. Upon receipt of a notice indicating that the Company wishes such rights to be made available to Holders of ADSs, the Depositary shall consult with the Company to determine, and the Company shall determine, whether it is lawful and reasonably practicable to make such rights available to the Holders. The Depositary shall make such rights available to Holders only if (i) the Company shall have timely requested that such rights be made available to Holders, (ii) the Depositary shall have received satisfactory documentation within the terms of Section 5.7, and (iii) the Depositary shall have determined that such distribution of rights is lawful and reasonably practicable. In the event any of the conditions set forth above are not satisfied, the Depositary shall proceed with the sale of the rights as contemplated in Section 4.4(b) below or, if timing or market conditions may not permit, do nothing thereby allowing such rights to lapse. In the event all conditions set forth above are satisfied, the Depositary shall establish an ADS Record Date (upon the terms described in Section 4.7) and establish procedures (x) to distribute such rights (by means of warrants or otherwise) and (y) to enable the Holders to exercise the rights (upon payment of applicable (a) fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Depositary and (b) taxes and other governmental charges). Nothing herein shall obligate the Depositary to make available to the Holders a method to exercise such rights to subscribe for Shares (rather than ADSs).
Distributions Other Than Cash, Shares or Rights to Purchase Shares (a) Whenever the Company intends to distribute to the holders of Deposited Securities property other than cash, Shares or rights to purchase additional Shares, the Company shall give timely notice thereof to the Depositary and shall indicate whether or not it wishes such distribution to be made to Holders of ADSs. Upon receipt of a notice indicating that the Company wishes such distribution be made to Holders of ADSs, the Depositary shall consult with the Company, and the Company shall assist the Depositary, to determine whether such distribution to Holders is lawful and reasonably practicable. The Depositary shall not make such distribution unless (i) the Company shall have requested the Depositary to make such distribution to Holders, (ii) the Depositary shall have received satisfactory documentation within the terms of Section 5.7, and (iii) the Depositary shall have determined that such distribution is reasonably practicable.
