Re: | AllianzGI Small-Cap Blend Fund |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This will confirm the agreement between the undersigned (the “Trust”) and Allianz Global
Investors Distributors LLC (the “Distributor”) as follows:
1. The Trust is an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust and consisting of such separate investment portfolios as have been or may be
established by the Trustees of the Trust from time to time. Up to seven separate classes of shares
of beneficial interest in the Trust are currently offered to investors with respect to each
investment portfolio. AllianzGI Small-Cap Blend Fund (the “Additional Fund”) is a separate
investment portfolio of the Trust.
2. The Trust and the Distributor have entered into a Distribution Contract (the “Contract”)
dated February 17, 2012, pursuant to which the Distributor has agreed to be the distributor of
shares of beneficial interest in the Trust.
3. In accordance with paragraph 1 of the Contract, the Trust and the Distributor hereby
designate the Additional Fund as an additional investment portfolio to which the Contract pertains
and adopt the Contract with respect to the Additional Fund, the terms and conditions of the
Contract being hereby incorporated herein by reference.
4. This Supplement and the Contract shall become effective with respect to the Additional Fund
on the date hereof and shall remain in full force and effect continuously as to the Additional Fund
and a class of shares thereof (unless terminated automatically as set forth in paragraph 17 of the
Contract) until terminated:
(a) Either by the Additional Fund or by the Distributor by not more than sixty (60) days’ nor
less than thirty (30) days’ written notice delivered or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid,
to the other party; or
(b) Automatically as to the Additional Fund at the close of business one year from the date
hereof, or upon the expiration of one year from the effective date of the last continuance of the
Contract, whichever is later, if the continuance of the Contract is not specifically approved at
least annually by the Trustees of the Trust or the shareholders of the Additional Fund by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Additional Fund and by a majority
of the Trustees of the Trust who are not interested persons of the Trust and who have no direct or
indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plans (as defined in the Contract) or the
Contract by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.
Action by the Additional Fund under (a) above may be taken either (i) by vote of the Trustees
of the Trust, or (ii) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the
Additional Fund. The requirement under (b) above that the continuance of this Contract be
“specifically approved at least annually” shall be construed in a manner consistent with the
Investment Company Act of 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, as amended from time
to time.
Termination of this Addendum and the Contract pursuant to this section shall be without the
payment of any penalty.
The termination of, or failure to renew, the Contract with respect to any investment portfolio
of the Trust (including the Additional Fund) or class of shares thereof shall not impair the
continued effectiveness of the Contract with respect to any other investment portfolio of the Trust
or class thereof as to which it has not been terminated (or has been renewed).
