Such notice will also be posted to the Funds&#8217; website at <a href=\"https:\/\/edge.prnewswire.com\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4584558-1&amp;h=830253039&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jhinvestments.com%2F&amp;a=www.jhinvestments.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.jhinvestments.com<\/a>. The notice should not be used to prepare tax returns as the estimates indicated in the notice may differ from the ultimate federal income tax characterization of distributions.
