Sales charges

You may qualify for a reduction or waiver of sales charges on the offering price. To receive the reduced or waived sales charge, you must inform Customer Service or your investment professional or other financial intermediary at the time of your purchase that you qualify for such a reduction or waiver. If you do not inform Customer Service or your financial intermediary that you are eligible for a reduced or waived sales charge, you may not receive the discount or waiver to which you are entitled. You may have to produce evidence that you qualify for a reduced sales charge or waiver before you will receive it. Please refer to your summary prospectus and/or prospectus for additional information on reduced or waived sales charges.
