Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in bonds. To keep current income relatively stable and to limit share price volatility, the Fund emphasizes investment grade securities and maintains a short (typically 3.5 years or less) average portfolio duration, with the goal of being between 75-125% of the market benchmark duration (for this purpose, the benchmark used is Bloomberg US Government/Credit Float Adjusted 1-5 Year Index, the duration of which as of June 30, 2025 was 2.42 years). The maximum average duration of any individual portfolio security will be 8 years. Duration is an approximation of the expected change in a debt security’s price given a 1% move in interest rates, using the following formula: change in debt security value = (change in interest rates) x (duration) x (-1). By way of example, assume XYZ company issues a five-year bond which has a duration of 4.5 years. If interest rates were to instantly increase by 1%, the bond would be expected to decrease in value by approximately 4.5%.

Madison Asset Management, LLC (“Madison” or the “Advisor”) considers, among other things, credit risk, sector exposure and yield curve positioning in selecting securities for the Fund. Tidal Investments LLC (“Tidal” or the “Subadvisor”) provides advisory services to the Fund by, among other things, trading equity portfolio securities and performing related services (if any), providing tax optimization services and assists in basket creation, reporting and monitoring, portfolio compliance monitoring and reporting. The Fund generally holds 100-500 individual securities in its portfolio at any given time and may invest in the following instruments:

Madison may alter the composition of the Fund with regard to quality and maturity and may sell securities prior to maturity. Under normal market conditions, however, turnover for the Fund is generally not expected to exceed 100%. Sales of fund securities may result in capital gains. This can occur any time Madison sells a bond at a price that was higher than the purchase price, even if Madison does not engage in active or frequent trading. Madison’s intent when it sells bonds is to “lock in” any gains already achieved by that investment or, alternatively, prevent additional or potential losses that could occur if Madison continued to hold the bond. Turnover may also occur when Madison finds an investment that could generate a higher return than the investment currently held. However, increasing portfolio turnover at a time when Madison’s assessment of market performance is incorrect could lower investment performance. The Fund pays implied brokerage commissions when it purchases or sells bonds, which is the difference between the bid and ask price. As a result, as portfolio turnover increases, the cumulative effect of this may hurt Fund performance. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will not engage in active or frequent trading of its bonds. However, it is possible that Madison will determine that market conditions require a significant change to the composition of the Fund’s portfolio. For example, if interest rates begin to rise, Madison may attempt to sell bonds in anticipation of further rate increases before they lose more value. Also, if the Fund experiences large swings in shareholder purchases and redemptions, Madison may be required to sell bonds more frequently in order to generate the cash needed to pay redeeming shareholders. Under these circumstances, the Fund could make a taxable capital gain distribution.

The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in shares of other registered investment companies that principally invest in fixed income securities. The Fund may also invest, without limit, in securities that have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and continue to be subject to restrictions on resale, securities held by control persons of the issuer and securities that are subject to contractual restrictions on their resale (collectively, “restricted securities”). Restricted securities include, without limitation, securities eligible for purchase and sale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) and other securities issued in private placements. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will limit its investments in Rule 144A securities to securities with $100 million or more in principal amount outstanding as of the time of their original issuance.

The Fund’s investment strategy reflects Madison’s general “Participate and Protect^®” investment philosophy. Madison’s expectation is that investors in the Fund will participate near fully in market appreciation during bull markets and experience something less than full participation during bear markets compared with investors in portfolios holding more speculative and volatile securities; therefore, this investment philosophy is intended to represent a conservative investment strategy. There is no assurance that Madison’s expectations regarding this investment strategy will be realized.

The Fund will seek to achieve its objectives by (1) investing in common stocks of equity securities that pay dividends and (2) writing (i.e., selling) covered call options on a substantial portion of its portfolio of securities.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies, including other investment companies. The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of large- and mid-capitalization issuers that, in the view of the Fund’s investment advisor, Madison Asset Management LLC (“Madison” or the “Advisor”), sell at a reasonable price in relation to their long-term earnings growth rates, exhibit a high degree of financial strength and are well-positioned competitively. Tidal Investments LLC (“Tidal” or the “Subadvisor”) provides advisory services to the Fund by, among other things, trading portfolio securities and performing related services, providing tax optimization services and assists in basket creation, reporting and monitoring, portfolio compliance monitoring and reporting. The Fund will invest in growth stocks, value stocks or stocks that exhibit both style designations.

The Fund will invest at least 65% of its net assets in common stocks of large capitalization issuers that meet the Advisor’s investment criteria, which the Advisor generally considers to be stocks with a market capitalization similar to those companies in the S&P 500 Index^®. The Fund may invest the remainder of its common stock investments in companies that meet the Advisor’s selection criteria but whose market capitalization is considered to be “mid-cap,” which the Advisor generally considers to be stocks with a market capitalization similar to those companies in the Russell Midcap^® Index.

The Fund will generally maintain a “sector neutral” approach relative to the S&P 500 Index’s Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) sector weightings. In addition, the Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in foreign securities, including American Depository Receipts (ADRs) and emerging market securities. The Fund will generally hold 30-60 individual equity and investment company securities. This reflects Madison’s belief that the Fund should be invested in Madison’s top investment ideas, and that focusing on Madison’s highest conviction investment ideas is the best way to achieve the Fund’s investment objective.

In addition to investing in common stock that pay a regular dividend, the Fund will simultaneously write covered call options on a substantial portion of the common stocks in its portfolio.

In general, an option contract is an agreement between a buyer and a seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not the obligation) to purchase or sell the underlying asset at a specified price (the “strike price”) within a specified time period (the “expiration date”). A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and obligates the seller (i.e., the Fund) to sell, the underlying security at the exercise price before the expiration date. In exchange for writing a call option on an underlying portfolio security, the Fund receives income, in the form of a premium, from the option buyer. The Fund’s covered call options help to partially offset the effect of a price decline of the portfolio securities of the Fund through means of the premiums received by the Fund. At the same time, because the Fund must be prepared to deliver the underlying security in return for the strike price, even if its current value is greater, the Fund gives up some ability to participate in the underlying security price increases. The Fund employs a “covered call” option strategy meaning the option written by the Fund is a call option on a portfolio security that the Fund invests in. The extent of option writing activity will depend upon market conditions and the Advisor’s ongoing assessment of the attractiveness of writing call options on the Fund’s stock holdings.

In addition to its covered call option strategy, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in an option strategy that includes the writing of put options on certain of the common stocks in the Fund’s portfolio. A put option gives the purchaser of the option the right to sell, and the writer (i.e., the Fund) of the option the obligation to buy, the underlying security during the option period at the strike price. To seek to offset some of the risk of a larger potential decline in the event the overall stock market has a sizable short-term or intermediate-term decline, the Fund may, to a limited extent (not more than 2% of its total assets) purchase put options or put option debit spreads (where another put option at a lower strike price is sold to offset the cost of the first put option) on broad-based securities indices (such as the S&P 500^® Index, S&P MidCap 400^® Index or other indices deemed suitable) or certain ETFs that trade like common stocks but represent such market indices. To seek to offset some of the risk of a larger potential decline in an individual holding due to a binary short-term company specific event, the Fund may, to a limited extent (not more than 2% of its total assets) purchase put options on individual equity holdings.
