It is proposed that this filing
will become effective immediately upon filing pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 485 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The
Registrant has registered an indefinite amount of its shares of beneficial interest under the Securities Act of 1933, pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In reliance upon Rule 24f-2, no filing fee is being paid at this
time.
This Amendment to the Registration Statement on Form N-14 of Praxis Mutual Funds (the Trust), filed with the Commission on
November 6, 2012 (Accession No. 0001144204-12-059740; 1933 Act Registration No. 333-184782) (the Registration Statement), is being filed solely to add Exhibit (12) to the Registration Statement. The prospectus and
statement of additional information included in the Registration Statement are incorporated herein by reference.
N-14 PART C
Praxis Mutual Funds
OTHER INFORMATION
Reference is made to
Article VII of the Registrants Declaration of Trust (Exhibit (a)(1), and Article VI of the Registrants By-Laws (Exhibit (b), which are incorporated by reference herein.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant by the Registrant pursuant to the
Funds Declaration of Trust, its By-Laws or otherwise, the Registrant is aware that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and, therefore, is
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by trustees, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant in connection with the
successful defense of any act, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustees, officers or controlling persons in connection with shares being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Subject to the rules on
incorporation by reference, give a list of all exhibits filed as part of the registration statement.
