The exchange will take place at relative net asset value and there will be no sales charge imposed on the reorganization.
Neither Selected International Fund nor its shareholders will recognize any gain or loss as a direct result of the reorganization.
Effective the close of business on November 7, 2025, new positions in Selected International Fund may no longer be opened. Shareholders of the fund on that date may continue to add to their fund positions existing on that date.
Effective after the close of business on November 7, 2025, new positions in the fund may no longer be opened. Existing shareholders may continue to hold their shares and purchase additional shares through the reinvestment of dividend and capital gain distributions until the fund’s liquidation.
