Business Wire
Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust (HNW), Pioneer High Income
Trust (PHT), Pioneer Municipal High Income Trust (MHI) and Pioneer
Municipal High Income Advantage Trust (MAV) (each, a “Fund”, and,
together, the “Funds”) announced today that, due to the public
health impact of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and to
support the health and safety of Fund shareholders, the location of
the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of each Fund, which are being
held together for convenience, (the “Meeting”) has been changed. As
previously announced, each Fund’s Meeting will be held on
Wednesday, September 16, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). In light
of public health concerns regarding COVID-19, the Meeting will be
held in a virtual meeting format only. The Meeting will be
accessible solely by means of remote communication.
As described in the proxy materials for the Meeting previously
distributed, the Board of Trustees has fixed the close of business
on July 10, 2020 as the record date for the determination of
shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting or
any postponement or adjournment thereof. If you were a record
holder of Fund shares as of July 10, 2020 (i.e., you held Fund
shares in your own name directly with the Fund), you can
participate in and vote at the telephonic Meeting or any
postponement or adjournment of the Meeting. To do so, please email
AST Fund Solutions, LLC (“AST”) at attendameeting@astfinancial.com
and provide your full name, address and control number located on
proxy card previously received. If you no longer have that form,
please call (800) 769-4414. AST will then email you the conference
call dial-in information and instructions for voting during the
Meeting.
If you held Fund shares through an intermediary (such as a
broker-dealer) as of July 10, 2020, in order to participate in and
vote at the Meeting, you must first obtain a legal proxy from your
intermediary reflecting the Fund’s name, the number of Fund shares
you held, and your name and email address. You may forward an email
from your intermediary containing the legal proxy or attach an
image of the legal proxy, email it to AST at
attendameeting@astfinancial.com and put “Legal Proxy” in the
subject line. Requests for registration must be received by AST no
later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 15, 2020. You will
then receive confirmation of your registration and a control number
by email from AST. AST will also email you the conference call
dial-in information and instructions for voting during the
Meeting.
Shareholders are not required to attend the Meeting to vote on
the proposals. Whether or not shareholders plan to attend the
Meeting, each Fund urges shareholders to authorize a proxy to vote
their shares in advance of the Meeting by one of the methods
described in the proxy materials for the Meeting. In connection
with the Meeting, each Fund has filed a definitive Proxy Statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Shareholders are advised to read the Proxy Statement because it
contains important information. The Proxy Statement is available on
the Internet at
https://vote.proxyonline.com/Pioneer/docs/pioneerclosedendfunds.pdf.
The proxy card included with the proxy materials previously
distributed will not be updated to reflect the change in location
and may continue to be used to vote your shares in connection with
the Meeting. The Proxy Statement and other documents filed by the
Funds are also available for free on the SEC website,
www.sec.gov.
For more information, please call 1-800-710-0935, or consult
your Fund’s web site accessible at amundipioneer.com/us.
The funds are closed-end investment companies. Three of these
funds trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the
following symbols: MHI, MAV, and PHT. HNW trades on the
NYSEAMER.
