IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE FEDERATED HERMES FUNDS
SUPPLEMENT TO CURRENT SUMMARY PROSPECTUSES, PROSPECTUSES AND STATEMENTS OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
On November 10, 2022, the Boards of Trustees/Directors (the “Boards”) of the Federated Hermes Funds (the “Funds”) listed below approved a Plan of Conversion for the Class B Shares of the Funds pursuant to which the Class B Shares of each of the Funds will be converted into each Fund’s existing Class A Shares on or about February 3, 2023, resulting in the closure and termination of the Funds’ Class B Shares. In approving the conversion, the Board determined that the conversion of the Class B Shares into Class A Shares is in the best interests of the shareholders of the Class B Shares. The Funds’ Class B Shares were previously closed to new investments and new accounts, with the exception of exchanges by existing Class B shareholders.
Pursuant to the Plan of Conversion, Class B shareholders will automatically receive shares of Class A Shares in exchange for their Class B Shares without any fee, load or charge to the shareholder, including any contingent deferred sales charges, on or about February 3, 2023. Future purchases of Class A Shares will be at the applicable sales load schedule. Shareholders should consult their Fund’s prospectus for additional information regarding Class A sales loads and other expenses.
The conversion will occur on a tax-free basis. The cash value of a shareholder’s investment will not change as a result of the share class conversion. Class B shareholders will receive Class A Shares with a total dollar value equal to the total dollar value of the Class B Shares owned at the time of conversion. With respect to each Fund, the Class A Shares into which shareholders will be converted currently offer a lower total net expense ratio than the Class B Shares.
No action is required by shareholders to effect the conversion. There will be no disruption to their accounts.
Please delete all references to the following Class B Shares effective as of February 3, 2023.
