THE PIONEER FUNDS

60 State Street

Boston MA 02110

Dear (First Name on Registration or if not applicable 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 reorganizations, and shareholder voting was 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 Shareholder 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.

OUR RECORDS INDICATE THAT YOU HAVE YET TO VOTE ON THIS IMPORTANT PROPOSAL.
