Comments: The Board of Directors of DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. has approved a reorganization of the Dimensional 2010 Target Date Retirement Income Fund into the Dimensional Retirement Income Fund. This reorganization involves the transfer of substantially all the assets of the Target Portfolio to the Acquiring Portfolio in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Portfolio equivalent in value. The reorganization is expected to take place on or about February 7, 2025, and is intended to be tax-free for federal income tax purposes. Shareholders of the Target Portfolio will automatically become shareholders of the Acquiring Portfolio without needing to vote. The reorganization is aimed at improving operational efficiencies, maintaining identical investment objectives, strategies, and risk profiles between the two Portfolios, and enabling the combined Portfolio to achieve greater economies of scale. The Board believes this action is in the best interests of the shareholders without diluting their interests. The estimated cost associated with the merger is anticipated to be around $95,000, influenced by the ongoing expense assumption agreement.
