Transactions

Use the information presented here as a general guide. Your circumstances may vary; talk to your investment professional, or call one of our Customer Service Representatives at 1-800-225-6292.

Before you decide to invest, please keep in mind the following guidelines:

• Read the fund's prospectus before you invest, send money or transact. It contains additional information about the fund, including sales charges, expenses and potential limits on transactions.
• Your initial investment must meet the minimum amount for the selected fund and class of shares. Refer to the fund's prospectus for the applicable investment minimums.
• Separate minimum investment requirements may apply to retirement plans and to telephone and wire orders placed for you by broker/dealers. Any checks should be made payable to Amundi US.
• Shares will be purchased at the public offering price — that is, the net asset value per share plus any applicable sales charge — next determined after we receive your complete purchase request. If your complete request is received after the close of the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time), shares will be purchased using the price of the next business day.
• To use online transactions, you must read and agree to the terms of an online transaction agreement. When you or your investment firm requests an online transaction, this requires an authorizing password and sends a written confirmation. The fund may implement other procedures from time to time. Different procedures may apply if you have a non-U.S. account or if your account is registered in the name of an institution, broker-dealer or other third party.

Purchase Additional Shares

You may add to an Amundi US mutual fund account through any securities broker/dealer that has a selling agreement with Amundi Distributor US, Inc. Amundi US provides several other convenient methods for investing.

Online

If your account is registered in your name, you may be able to buy shares online. You can use online purchase privileges if you have an existing account. You may not be able to use the online transaction privilege for certain types of accounts.

If your account is eligible, you can purchase additional fund shares online if:

• You established your bank account of record at least 30 days ago
• Your bank information has not changed for at least 30 days
• You are not purchasing more than $100,000 worth of shares per account per day
• You can provide the proper account identification information

When you request an online purchase, the transfer agent will electronically debit the amount of the purchase from your bank account of record. The transfer agent will purchase fund shares for the amount of the debit at the offering price determined after the transfer agent receives your online purchase instruction and good funds. It usually takes three business days for the transfer agent to receive notification from your bank that good funds are available in the amount of your investment.
