The change in the fund’s independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the fund’s board of trustees, including a majority of the independent trustees, upon recommendation of the audit committee, as part of a broader effort to update board oversight and fund operations. At no point during the fund’s fiscal years ended October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2025, and the subsequent interim period through December 11, 2025, were there any disagreements between management and D&T on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.</div>
