13. 12b-1 Fees Proposed Reform • SEC proposed significant changes to the current mutual fund distribution framework, including rescission of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, in July, 2010 (Release Nos. 33-9128). • SEC proposed new rule 12b-2 which would allow funds to continue to charge limited “marketing and service fees” subject to a 25 basis point annual cap. • The adoption of amendments to Rule 6c-10 to permit funds to deduct an “ongoing sales charge” from fund assets in excess of the marketing and service fee as an alternative to a traditional front-end sales load, but which would be subject to a cumulative fee cap on sales charges.

14. 12b-1 Fees Proposed Reform (continued) • A substantial reduction in the duties imposed on fund boards by eliminating the requirement for boards to adopt and annually approve distribution plans and make special findings relating to the payment of asset-based distribution fees, • The adoption of rule and form amendments to require enhanced disclosure of sales charges, marketing and service fees and other fees in mutual fund registration statements, shareholder reports, and transaction confirmations, and other documents • The adoption of amendments to Rule 6c-10 that will permit mutual funds to establish classes of shares to sell through broker-dealers that would determine their own sales compensation, rather than simply imposing the sales charges described in the prospectus as required under current law.

15. 12b-1 Fees Proposed Reform (continued) • Compliance Dates and Transition Period • The SEC contemplates the new rules becoming effective within 60 days of publication of the final rule release, and funds are permitted to rely on the new rules at such time. • The SEC will most likely allow a compliance period after the effective date for funds to come into compliance with the new rules with respect to shares issued after the compliance date. • For shares issued prior to the compliance date, a five-year grandfathering period will most likely apply to allow funds to continue to deduct fees pursuant to Rule 12b-1 as it exists today. New sales would not be permitted in a grandfathered share class after the compliance date, but dividends or other distributions on the grandfathered shares could be reinvested in the same share class.

16. 12b-1 Fees Proposed Reform (continued) • Compliance Dates and Transition Period • After the five-year period, the grandfathered shares would be required to be converted or exchanged into a class that does not deduct an ongoing sales charge. However, such class could charge a Rule 12b-2 marketing and service fee, except that such marketing and service fee cannot be higher than the Rule 12b-1 fee charged on the grandfathered shares in the most recent fiscal year before the class’s conversion. • Recordkeeping Obligations to Track Fund Shareholders • If adopted, the Proposal would require mutual funds (or their service providers or financial intermediaries) to track the cumulative amount of sales charges that an investor pays on the purchase of fund shares. Similar to the way they handle the administration of monitoring for breakpoint discounts in fund sales loads, mutual funds are likely to push this requirement down to their selling broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries.
