The following contain important information concerning Fund distributions.
EOI, EOS, ETJ, EXD, ETV, ETO, ETB, ETY, ETW, EXG, EVT and ETG currently make distributions in accordance with a managed distribution plan. Distributions may include amounts characterized for federal income tax purposes as ordinary dividends (including qualified dividends), capital gain distributions and nondividend distributions, also known as return of capital distributions. A return of capital distribution may include, for example, a return of some or all of the money that an investor invested in Fund shares. With each distribution, a Fund issues a notice to shareholders and a press release containing information about the amount and sources of the distribution and other related information. Below are notices and press releases for the last 24 months. The amounts and sources of distributions reported in the notices and press releases are only estimates and are not provided for tax reporting purposes. Each Fund reports the character of distributions for federal income tax purposes each calendar year on Form 1099-DIV.
A Fund's distributions in any period may be more or less than the net return earned by the Fund on its investments, and therefore should not be used as a measure of performance or confused with "yield" or "income." Distributions in excess of Fund returns will cause its NAV to erode. Investors should not draw any conclusions about a Fund's investment performance from the amount of its distribution or from the terms of its managed distribution plan.
