Due to COVID-19 and its impact on the current environment and other unrelated service
disruptions, the United States Postal Service is unable to deliver mail to certain foreign
countries. Pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Statement Regarding
Temporary International Mail Service Suspensions to Certain Jurisdictions Related to the
COVID-19 Pandemic, dated June 24, 2020, Delaware Funds by Macquarie will be delaying
mailings to impacted clients. These restrictions impact our ability to deliver a number of
mailings, including statements, trade confirms, service notices, regulatory notices,
performance reports, tax reporting documents, prospectuses, and shareholder
communications.
In an effort to ensure undue delay in mail delivery to our clients, we encourage all
clients who live in impacted countries to opt-in to electronic delivery to avoid further
delays as a result of mail delivery restrictions. We will attempt to communicate with you
via electronic mail or telephone to encourage you to adopt electronic delivery and may,
consistent with confidentiality requirements, attempt to deliver certain disclosures
electronically. In the event that you do not consent to electronic delivery or we are
unable to deliver impacted mailings electronically, we will take reasonable steps to send
physical mailings after mail delivery services resume in your country of residence. For
assistance, please contact the Shareholder Service Center at 800
523-1918 weekdays between 8:30am and 6:00pm Eastern time.
Again, we encourage all clients to opt-in to electronic delivery to avoid further delays
as a result of mail delivery restrictions. This election can be temporary or permanent.
Once the mail suspension is lifted, you may change your delivery preference back to
physical mailings.
