Proposed Reorganization. The Board of Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VII has unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization ("Agreement") between Fidelity Advisor® Consumer Discretionary Fund, Fidelity Advisor® Energy Fund, Fidelity Advisor® Technology Fund, and Fidelity Advisor® Utilities Fund and Consumer Discretionary Portfolio, Energy Portfolio, Technology Portfolio, and Utilities Portfolio pursuant to which Fidelity Advisor® Consumer Discretionary Fund, Fidelity Advisor® Energy Fund, Fidelity Advisor® Technology Fund, and Fidelity Advisor® Utilities Fund would be reorganized on a tax-free basis with and into Consumer Discretionary Portfolio, Energy Portfolio, Technology Portfolio, and Utilities Portfolio.
As a result of the proposed Reorganization, shareholders of Fidelity Advisor® Consumer Discretionary Fund, Fidelity Advisor® Energy Fund, Fidelity Advisor® Technology Fund, and Fidelity Advisor® Utilities Fund would receive, respectively, corresponding shares of Consumer Discretionary Portfolio, Energy Portfolio, Technology Portfolio, and Utilities Portfolio.
The Agreement provides for the transfer of all of the assets of Fidelity Advisor® Consumer Discretionary Fund, Fidelity Advisor® Energy Fund, Fidelity Advisor® Technology Fund, and Fidelity Advisor® Utilities Fund in exchange for corresponding shares of Consumer Discretionary Portfolio, Energy Portfolio, Technology Portfolio, and Utilities Portfolio equal in value to the net assets of Fidelity Advisor® Consumer Discretionary Fund, Fidelity Advisor® Energy Fund, Fidelity Advisor® Technology Fund, and Fidelity Advisor® Utilities Fund and the assumption by Consumer Discretionary Portfolio, Energy Portfolio, Technology Portfolio, and Utilities Portfolio of all of the liabilities of Fidelity Advisor® Consumer Discretionary Fund, Fidelity Advisor® Energy Fund, Fidelity Advisor® Technology Fund, and Fidelity Advisor® Utilities Fund. After the exchange, Fidelity Advisor® Consumer Discretionary Fund, Fidelity Advisor® Energy Fund, Fidelity Advisor® Technology Fund, and Fidelity Advisor® Utilities Fund will distribute the Consumer Discretionary Portfolio, Energy Portfolio, Technology Portfolio, and Utilities Portfolio shares to its shareholders pro rata, in liquidation of Fidelity Advisor® Consumer Discretionary Fund, Fidelity Advisor® Energy Fund, Fidelity Advisor® Technology Fund, and Fidelity Advisor® Utilities Fund. As a result, shareholders of Fidelity Advisor® Consumer Discretionary Fund, Fidelity Advisor® Energy Fund, Fidelity Advisor® Technology Fund, and Fidelity Advisor® Utilities Fund will become shareholders of Consumer Discretionary Portfolio, Energy Portfolio, Technology Portfolio, and Utilities Portfolio (these transactions are collectively referred to as the "Reorganization").
The Reorganization, which does not require shareholder approval, is expected to take place on or about October 17, 2025 for Fidelity Advisor® Utilities Fund and on or about November 14, 2025 for Fidelity Advisor® Consumer Discretionary Fund, Fidelity Advisor® Energy Fund, and Fidelity Advisor® Technology Fund. The Reorganization is expected to be a tax-free transaction. This means that neither Fidelity Advisor® Consumer Discretionary Fund, Fidelity Advisor® Energy Fund, Fidelity Advisor® Technology Fund, and Fidelity Advisor® Utilities Fund nor its shareholders will recognize any gain or loss as a direct result of the Reorganization.
Effective after the close of business on the business day prior to the Reorganization, new positions in the fund may no longer be opened. Existing shareholders may continue to hold their shares and purchase additional shares through the reinvestment of dividend and capital gain distributions until the fund's Reorganization takes place.
