PIONEER FUNDS

60 State Street

Boston MA 02110

Dear Valued Shareholder:

As you likely know by now, each Pioneer Fund (each a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”) presented a proposal to shareholders to approve the reorganization of each Fund into a corresponding and newly created Fund within the Victory Funds at a Special Shareholder Meeting scheduled and held on March 27, 2025. The newly created Fund was developed for the sole purpose of this reorganization, and each reorganization is part of a larger plan to integrate the advisory businesses of Amundi US and Victory Capital Management Inc.

The Special Shareholder Meeting was scheduled and held and was highly successful as many of the Funds approved their respective reorganization, and shareholders were highly in favor of each reorganization. There were, however, several Funds that did not reach the required participation rate of 50% of the outstanding shares; therefore, the Special Meeting for those Funds was adjourned to April 28, 2025 at 11:00 a.m., to allow those shareholders additional time to participate. Each proxy card enclosed indicates a Fund that has adjourned and is still recording voting instructions for the adjourned Meeting.

ACCORDING TO OUR RECORDS, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED YOUR PROXY VOTE. Whether you vote For, Against, or Abstain, voting will ensure your shares are represented at the Special Meeting. Please review the proxy material and vote your shares on this important proposal. Remember, your vote is important enough to the outcome of this Special Meeting for us to be reaching out to you.

YOU CAN VOTE USING ONE OF THE CONVENIENT OPTIONS BELOW:

VOTING IS EASY AND ONLY TAKES A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME. By casting your proxy vote now, you will ensure that your shares are represented at the adjourned Special Meeting of Shareholders to help us get the 50%. Once you vote, all follow-up communications will stop.

Detailed information about the Adjourned Special Meeting of Shareholders and the proposal can be found in the proxy statement, or online at: vote.proxyonline.com/Pioneerfunds/docs

If you have any questions about the proposals or the voting process, you may contact us at (800) 488-8095. Representatives are available 9:00 am to 10:00 pm Eastern Time, Monday through Friday and 10:00 am to 9:00 pm Eastern Time on Saturday.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
