Item 77E: Legal Proceedings
Series 15 - GMO Emerging Markets Fund
Indian regulators alleged in 2002 that the Fund violated some conditions under
which it was granted permission to operate in India and have restricted some of
the Fund's locally held assets pending resolution of the dispute. Although
these locally held assets remain the property of the Fund, a portion of the
assets are not permitted to be withdrawn from the Fund's local custodial
account located in India. The amount of these restricted assets is small
relative to the size of the Fund, representing approximately 0.08% of the
Fund's total net assets as of February 28, 2018. The effect of this claim on
the value of the restricted assets, and all matters relating to the Fund's
response to these allegations, are subject to the supervision and control the
Trust's Board of Trustees. Any costs in respect of this matter are being borne
by the Fund.
Item 77I: Terms of new or amended securities
No items to be updated at this time.
