PLEASE REVIEW              

 

Dear Shareholder:

 

The Joint Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Funds originally scheduled for August 24, 2023 has been adjourned until September 26, 2023. Although the vote response is favorable so far, each Fund is in jeopardy of not receiving the necessary votes. At this point we have not received your vote and we would greatly appreciate you acting on this matter today. Each Fund’s shareholders need to approve a new Investment Advisory Agreement for the Fund in order to ensure that Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC (“Credit Suisse”) can continue to provide uninterrupted investment advisory services to the Fund.

 

The Joint Special Meeting will be held on September 26, 2023 at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time at Eleven Madison Avenue, Floor 2B, New York, NY 10010. If you don’t plan to participate in person, please vote your shares using any of the convenient methods described below and on the enclosed proxy card.

 

Please note that each Fund’s new Investment Advisory Agreement will be identical to the Fund’s prior Investment Advisory Agreement with Credit Suisse, except for the dates of execution, effectiveness and termination and certain non-material changes.  No changes to the investment objective(s), principal investment strategies and policies, principal risks, fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies, or portfolio managers (other than potential personnel changes outside of Credit Suisse’s control) of each Fund are currently contemplated.

 

WHAT DO WE NEED FROM YOU? Please vote in order to ensure that Credit Suisse can continue to provide uninterrupted investment advisory services to each Fund. Please also note that each Fund’s shareholder base is made up of thousands of investors just like yourself, which makes your vote even more important no matter how many shares you own. Accordingly, your vote is critical to the approval of this proposal.
