Business Wire
Pioneer Floating Rate Trust (PHD) (the “Fund”) 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
the Fund (the “Meeting”) has been changed. As previously announced,
the Fund’s Meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 16, 2020 at
3:00 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 June 23, 2020 as the record date for the determination of
shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting or
any adjournment or postponement thereof. If you were a record
holder of Fund shares as of June 23, 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
the WHITE proxy card previously received. AST will then email you
the conference call dial-in information and instructions for voting
during the Meeting. If you no longer have the WHITE proxy card,
please call the Fund’s proxy solicitor, Okapi Partners LLC, at +1
877-566-1922 (Toll Free) for assistance.
If you held Fund shares through an intermediary (such as a
broker-dealer) as of June 23, 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, the 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, the 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 http://www.OkapiVote.com/PHD. The WHITE 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 Fund are also available
for free on the SEC website, www.sec.gov.
