You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund's Managed Distribution Policy.
The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its net investment income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with "yield" or "income".
The amounts and sources of distributions reported above are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund provides financial intermediary firms the information necessary to produce the Form 1099-DIV, and then the relevant financial intermediary firm will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

Dassault Systèmes and Patrick Jouin Unveil 'Ta.Tamu,' Their Latest Collaboration Redefining Traditional Design
PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: FR0014003TT8, and the French designer Patrick Jouin today unveiled ' a lightweight, 3D-printed and functional chair, co-created using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud. serves as a proof of concept for emerging, generative design processes that combine AI-powered virtual twins and the frugal use of materials to drive the generative economy. is the result of a four-year dialogue between Patrick Jouin's intuitive design approach and Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Designers and engineers redefined how a chair could be conceived — challenging traditional design methods, pushing formal and structural limits, and inventing new ways to minimize matter. Developed through enhanced ideation and concept development, and a life cycle assessment integrated early in the process, pioneering aesthetics were inspired by biomimicry and the structural logic of the human body, such as bone density and joint articulation. The light yet robust lattice structure weighs just 8.6 pounds (3.9 kg), can support 220 pounds (100 kg), and can be 3D printed in a flat, folded position without needing assembly. 'Nature uses only the energy and materials it needs. We wanted to apply this very simple philosophy to the development of With the help of new collaborative technologies of Dassault Systèmes, we are now able to come up with new ideas and make them possible, creating more efficiently while producing less waste, right from the design process,' said Jouin. Collaborating around an AI-powered virtual twin, design teams modeled and simulated the behavior of complex assembled components, using topological optimization to refine every joint, unfolding articulation, and zone of pressure and support. At each stage, the design evolved in real time through close interaction with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, with changes updated and visible in the virtual twin. Teams modified the chair's geometry while balancing its aesthetics, resulting in an optimal design where gesture, function, and structure converge in a chair that weighs 75% less than it would have weighed at full density. 'To improve the world we live in, we have to change the way we produce, design and use materials. represents a call to action for industry to embrace a generative economy instead of continuing to create without limits,' said Anne Asensio, Vice President Design Experience, Dassault Systèmes. ' was created with the technology used to innovate sustainably in industrial contexts. As a science-based company, we want to create value for society in every aspect of people's lives through our 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Design processes integrating modeling and simulation from the start lead to innovations that improve real life.' ### About Dassault Systèmes Dassault Systèmes is a catalyst for human progress. Since 1981, the company has pioneered virtual worlds to improve real life for consumers, patients and citizens. With Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform, 370,000 customers of all sizes, in all industries, can collaborate, imagine and create sustainable innovations that drive meaningful impact. For more information, visit: About Patrick Jouin Patrick Jouin is a French designer and a graduate of ENSCI–Les Ateliers. In 1999, he founded his industrial design studio, Patrick Jouin iD. A pioneer in the use of 3D printing for furniture design, he created the Solid collection in 2004, the first series of furniture pieces produced directly from digital files, without molds or assembly. This milestone marked the beginning of an in-depth exploration of new ways to design and manufacture, rethinking forms, gestures, and structures in light of emerging technologies. Through objects such as One Shot, Bloom, and the monolithic bench at the Palais de Tokyo, Patrick Jouin has revealed the ability of these tools to generate intuitive, lightweight, and sometimes otherwise unattainable forms. Since 2019, he has been engaged in an experimental collaboration with Anne Asensio and the teams at Dassault Systèmes, exploring generative design, folding, and deployability.

Earnings To Watch: Lindsay (LNN) Reports Q2 Results Tomorrow
Agricultural and farm machinery company Lindsay (NYSE:LNN) will be announcing earnings results this Thursday morning. Here's what investors should know. Lindsay beat analysts' revenue expectations by 4% last quarter, reporting revenues of $187.1 million, up 23.5% year on year. It was an incredible quarter for the company, with a solid beat of analysts' organic revenue estimates and an impressive beat of analysts' EPS estimates. Is Lindsay a buy or sell going into earnings? Read our full analysis here, it's free. This quarter, analysts are expecting Lindsay's revenue to grow 16.4% year on year to $162 million, a reversal from the 15.4% decrease it recorded in the same quarter last year. Adjusted earnings are expected to come in at $1.41 per share. Analysts covering the company have generally reconfirmed their estimates over the last 30 days, suggesting they anticipate the business to stay the course heading into earnings. Lindsay has missed Wall Street's revenue estimates four times over the last two years. With Lindsay being the first among its peers to report earnings this season, we don't have anywhere else to look to get a hint at how this quarter will unravel for heavy machinery stocks. However, there has been positive investor sentiment in the segment, with share prices up 2.9% on average over the last month. Lindsay is down 1.1% during the same time and is heading into earnings with an average analyst price target of $139 (compared to the current share price of $138.22). Today's young investors likely haven't read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy. But if we apply the same principles, then enterprise software stocks leveraging their own generative AI capabilities may well be the Gorillas of the future. So, in that spirit, we are excited to present our Special Free Report on a profitable, fast-growing enterprise software stock that is already riding the automation wave and looking to catch the generative AI next.

PRIMERICA HOUSEHOLD BUDGET INDEX™: Spending Power Moderately Improves for Middle-Income Families as Average Earned Income Rises Above Cost Increases of Everyday Necessities
DULUTH, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The latest Primerica Household Budget Index™ (HBI™) data, a monthly economic metric that examines how inflation and wage trends impact the ability of middle-income families to afford life's everyday necessities, was 100.1% in May, a 0.4% increase from a month ago and up 1.5% from a year ago. Purchasing power improved slightly in May as the average earned income of middle-income households rose more than the increase in the cost of necessity items. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) that measures inflation for a comprehensive basket of goods for all U.S. households came in at 2.3% in May. Over the past twelve months ending in May, middle-income households saw a 2.8% rise in the cost of all items and a 2.5% rise in the cost of necessity items used in the HBI™ (food, utilities, gas, auto insurance, and health care). For more information on the Primerica Household Budget Index™ metric, visit About the Primerica Household Budget Index™ (HBI™) The Primerica Household Budget Index™ (HBI™) data is constructed monthly on behalf of Primerica by its chief economic consultant Amy Crews Cutts, PhD, CBE ®. The index measures the purchasing power of middle-income families with household incomes from $30,000 to $130,000 and is developed using data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. Bureau of Census, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. The index looks at the cost of necessities including food, gas, auto insurance, utilities, and health care and earned income to track differences in inflation and wage growth. Primerica's HBI™ metric was created to fill an information void around the economy's impact on middle-income families. Metrics like the Consumer Price Index (CPI) measure overall inflation but don't offer a clear picture of how it impacts middle-income Americans. Middle-income households play a key role in driving consumer spending and the overall economy as they account for over 55% of the U.S. population. The purchasing power of middle-income families are a key barometer of real-time economic trends. Understanding middle-income households' purchasing power is important because it shows whether they are gaining financial ground or falling behind. The HBI™ data uses January 2019 as its baseline, with the value set to 100% at that point in time. Periodically, prior HBI™ values may be modified due to revisions in the CPI series and Consumer Expenditure Survey releases by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Beginning with the December 2024 release of the index, the expenditure weights have been updated to the most recent (Q1 2024) data and auto insurance has been added to the group of necessity items.
