c.
The following replaces the information relating to Bailard, Inc. under subsection “Description of Compensation Structure” under the heading “Appendix C – Portfolio Managers”:
 
Bailard, Inc. (“Bailard”)
 
Ms. Liando, Mr. McKellar, Dr. Akgun, Mr. Mudge and Mr. Moshy are each paid a base salary, an “investment performance” bonus relating to the Fund and strategy each manages and, potentially, an additional discretionary bonus. The investment performance bonus is designed to be significant but not so significant that it would encourage extreme risk taking. Investment performance bonuses are based on pre-tax performance and are not based on value of assets held in the Fund’s portfolio.  For the Nationwide Bailard Small Cap Value Fund, the Nationwide Bailard International Equities Fund and the Nationwide Bailard Technology Fund, it is based on the relevant Fund’s return ranking on a rolling 12-month basis relative to that Fund’s peer group: Morningstar Small Cap Value Category (for the Nationwide Bailard Small Cap Value Fund), Morningstar Foreign Large
1

 
Blend Category (for the Nationwide Bailard International Equities Fund) and Morningstar Technology Category (for the Nationwide Bailard Technology Fund). Additionally, a portion of Mr. McKellar’s and Ms. Liando’s investment performance bonus is based on the performance of Bailard’s EAFE Composite (0% Emerging Markets) on a rolling 12-month basis. In addition to the investment performance bonus related to the Fund, Dr. Akgun also receives an investment performance bonus for Bailard’s Tactical Asset Allocation strategy. The discretionary bonus, if any, reflects the pre-tax profitability of Bailard and the portfolio manager’s contribution to meeting Bailard’s general corporate goals.  On occasion, the portfolio managers named above may receive stock grants based on individual performance.  
 
Mr. Smith, Ms. Mughal and Mr. Townsend are members of Bailard’s Senior Management Team and as such, their compensation consists primarily of a base salary and a significant discretionary cash bonus. The cash bonus reflects Bailard’s profitability and Mr. Smith, Ms. Mughal and Mr. Townsend’s contribution to Bailard’s corporate goals.  On occasion, portfolio managers on the Senior Management Team may receive stock grants based on individual performance. None of Ms. Mughal’s nor Mr. Smith’s compensation is based directly on the performance of the Nationwide Bailard Technology Fund. None of Mr. Townsend’s compensation is based directly on the performance of the Nationwide Bailard Small Cap Value Fund.
 
d.
