Effective February 25, 2013, the name of the Index changed from Share Buyback Achievers Index to NASDAQ Buyback Achievers Index. There will be no change to the methodology by which NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc., the Index Provider, calculates the Index. Please see the Fund’s prospectus supplement for more information. On February 25, 2013, NASDAQ took the place of the NYSE as the official Index data source.
