RULE 12d1-4 INVESTMENT AGREEMENT
THIS RULE 12d1-4 INVESTMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of January 19, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), is made by and between each registered investment company (each, a “Registrant”), on behalf of each series of each such Registrant listed on Schedule A or Schedule B hereto, or if the relevant Registrant has no series, then the relevant Registrant (as applicable, each an “Acquiring Fund” or “Acquired Fund” pursuant to the applicable schedule), each severally and not jointly.
WHEREAS, each Registrant is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”);
WHEREAS, Section 12(d)(1)(A) of the 1940 Act limits the extent to which a registered investment company may invest in shares of other registered investment companies, and Section 12(d)(1)(C) of the 1940 Act limits the extent to which an investment company may invest in shares of a registered closed-end investment company;
WHEREAS, Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act (the “Rule”) permits registered investment companies, such as the Acquiring Funds, to invest in shares of other registered investment companies, such as the Acquired Funds, in excess of the limitations set forth in Sections 12(d)(1)(A) and 12(d)(1)(C) of the 1940 Act, subject to compliance with the conditions of the Rule; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to this Agreement, an Acquiring Fund may, from time to time, invest in shares of one or more Acquired Funds in excess of the limitations set forth in Section 12(d)(1)(A) of the 1940 Act in reliance on the Rule;
NOW THEREFORE, in accordance with the Rule, the Acquiring Funds and the Acquired Funds desire to set forth the following terms pursuant to which the Acquiring Funds may invest in the Acquired Funds in reliance on the Rule and certain additional terms of investment as provided below.
| 1. | Terms of Investment. |
| (a) | In order to help reasonably address the risk of undue influence on an Acquired Fund by an Acquiring Fund, and to assist the Acquired Fund’s investment adviser with making the required findings under the Rule, each Acquiring Fund and each Acquired Fund agree as follows: |
| (i) | Investment limit. The Acquiring Fund acknowledges and agrees that: |
| A. | unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund, the Acquiring Fund shall not purchase or otherwise acquire securities issued by the Acquired Fund in excess of the limits in Section 12(d)(1)(A)(i) of the 1940 Act; |
| B. | the Acquiring Fund may not rely on this Agreement to acquire shares of an Acquired Fund if such acquisition would cause the Acquiring Fund and its “advisory group” (as defined in the Rule) to hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the Acquired Fund; and |
| C. | the Acquiring Fund, its “advisory group” and any Account (as defined in Section 1(c)(i) below) shall not control (individually or in the aggregate) the Acquired Fund. |
| (ii) | Proxy voting. |
| A. | With respect to any Non-Routine Proxy Proposal involving an Acquired Fund, the Acquiring Fund acknowledges and agrees that the Acquiring Fund, its “advisory group” and any Account will (i) vote on such proposal and (ii) that such vote will be executed in accordance with such holder’s proxy voting policy or, in the case of any Account, pursuant to voting instructions from the Account client. |
| B. | In connection with executing this Agreement, the Acquiring Fund acknowledges and agrees that: |
| (x) | as of the date of this Agreement, the proxy voting policy of the Acquired Fund, each member of its “advisory group” and any Account has been provided to the Acquiring Fund and is a Permitted Proxy Voting Policy; or |
| (y) | as of the date of this Agreement, if the proxy voting policy of the Acquired Fund, each member of its “advisory group” and any Account is not a Permitted Proxy Voting Policy, the Acquiring Fund, each member of its “advisory group” and any Account will adopt and implement a proxy voting policy that is a Permitted Proxy Voting Policy within 90 days of the date of this Agreement and a copy of such proxy voting policy will be provided to the Acquired Fund promptly upon its adoption. If the Acquiring Fund, each member of its “advisory group” and any Account fails to adopt and implement a proxy voting policy that is a Permitted Proxy Voting Policy within 90 days of the date of this Agreement, the Acquiring Fund shall divest its holdings of each Acquired Fund as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event prior to the record date for the next meeting of shareholders of the Acquired Fund. |
| C. | The Acquiring Fund agrees to provide the Acquired Fund a copy of any subsequent updates to the proxy voting policy of the |
2
| Acquiring Fund, each member of its “advisory group” and any Account at least 30 days’ prior to implementation. If any subsequent updates to the proxy voting policy of the Acquiring Fund, a member of its “advisory group” and any Account results in such proxy voting policy no longer being a Permitted Proxy Voting Policy, the Acquiring Fund shall divest its holdings of each Acquired Fund as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event prior to the record date for the next meeting of shareholders of the Acquired Fund. |
| (iii) | Scale of investment. Upon a reasonable request by an Acquired Fund, the Acquiring Fund will provide summary information regarding the anticipated timeline of investments in the Acquired Fund by the Acquiring Fund, its “advisory group” and any Account and the scale of the contemplated investments in the Acquired Fund by the Acquiring Fund, its “advisory group” and any Account. The Acquired Fund acknowledges and agrees that any summary information provided pursuant to the foregoing is not a commitment to purchase the Acquired Fund shares in any amount, nor a limitation thereof, and constitutes an estimate that may differ materially from the amount, timing and manner in which the Acquiring Fund may acquire shares of the Acquired Fund, if at all. The Acquired Fund agrees to treat any information provided by the Acquiring Fund under this provision confidentially and to use such information only for purposes contemplated by this Agreement. |
| (b) | In order to assist an Acquiring Fund’s investment adviser or, in the case of an Acquiring Fund that is a unit investment trust, its principal underwriter or depositor, with evaluating the complexity of the structure and fees and expenses associated with an investment in the Acquired Fund, each Acquired Fund shall provide each Acquiring Fund with information on the fees and expenses of the Acquired Fund reasonably requested by the Acquiring Fund with reference to the Rule. Such fee and expense information shall be limited to that which is made publicly available by the Acquired Fund. In accordance with the foregoing and in recognition of each Acquired Fund’s obligations regarding disclosure of material nonpublic information under applicable laws, rules and regulations, including without limitation Regulation FD, the Acquiring Funds and Acquired Funds agree that the information on the fees and expenses of each Acquired Fund shall be provided through delivery of or access to publicly available documents. |
| (c) | Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings: |
| (i) | “Account” shall mean any account managed by a member of an Acquiring Fund’s “advisory group” where such member of the Acquiring Fund’s “advisory group” exercises voting power, within the meaning of Rule 13d-3(a)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, over the securities of the Acquired Fund held in such account. |
3
| (ii) | “Permitted Proxy Voting Policy” means a proxy voting policy that provides for discretionary voting on Non-Routine Proxy Proposals with respect to an Acquired Fund and does not (x) require Non-Routine Proxy Proposals with respect to an Acquired Fund to be voted in accordance with the recommendation of a proxy advisory firm or (y) require or permit voting on Non-Routine Proxy Proposals with respect to an Acquired Fund in the same proportion as the vote of all other holders of such securities. |
| (iii) | “Non-Routine Proxy Proposals” means any proposal upon which a broker may not give or authorize a proxy to vote without instructions from beneficial owners pursuant to NYSE Rule 452 (or any successor provision). |
| 2. | Representations of the Acquired Funds. |
In connection with any investment by an Acquiring Fund in an Acquired Fund in excess of the limitations set forth in Section 12(d)(1)(A) of the 1940 Act, the Acquired Fund agrees to: (i) comply with all conditions of the Rule applicable to the Acquired Fund; (ii) comply with its obligations under this Agreement; and (iii) promptly notify the Acquiring Fund if such Acquired Fund fails to comply with the Rule with respect to an investment by the Acquiring Fund or this Agreement.

| dealer will: (a) not make an investment in an Acquired Fund that causes such Acquiring Fund to hold 5% or more of such Acquired Fund’s total outstanding voting securities without prior approval from the Acquired Fund, and (b) notify the Acquired Fund if any investment by the Acquiring Fund that complied with (a) at the time of purchase no longer complies. |

8
| (d) | This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other. |
| (e) | Other than as set forth in Sections 3(e), 6 and 7 above and Schedule B hereto, this Agreement may be amended only by a writing that is signed by each affected party. |
| (f) | The Acquiring Funds and the Acquired Funds may file a copy of this Agreement with the SEC or any other regulatory body if required by applicable law. |
| (g) | With respect to any Acquiring Fund or Acquired Fund organized as a Massachusetts business trust or a series thereof (each such trust, a “Massachusetts Trust”), a copy of the Declaration of Trust of each Massachusetts Trust is on file with the Secretary of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and notice is hereby given that this Agreement is executed on behalf of each Massachusetts Trust by an officer of the Trust in his or her capacity as an officer of the Trust and not individually and that no trustee, officer, employee, agent, employee or shareholder of a Massachusetts Trust shall have any personal liability under this Agreement. |
| 10. | Termination of Prior Agreements. |
The execution of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute the termination as of the Effective Date of any and all prior agreements between an Acquiring Fund and an Acquired Fund that relates to the investment by any Acquiring Fund in any Acquired Fund in reliance on a participation agreement, exemptive order or other arrangement among the parties intended to achieve compliance with Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act (the “Prior Section 12 Agreements”).
