Filing Summary: On April 21, 2025, Macquarie Group Limited, parent of Delaware Management Company (DMC), along with affiliates and Nomura Holding America Inc., announced an agreement for Nomura to acquire Macquarie Asset Management's US and European public investments asset management business. This transaction is conditional on customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is projected to close by the end of October 2025. Following the closing, the existing investment advisory agreements with DMC for each Fund will terminate automatically, prompting the Fund's Board of Trustees to consider new advisory agreements for shareholder approval at that time. The closing and its conditions are subject to change. It is advised that potential investors consult tax professionals regarding any tax implications related to their investments.
