General Questions on the Proxy

Who is Computershare Fund Services?

Computershare Fund Services is a third party proxy vendor that has been hired to call shareholders and record proxy votes. In order to hold a shareholder meeting, quorum must be reached. If quorum is not met (or the required vote is not achieved), the meeting may adjourn to a future date. The campaign attempts to reach shareholders via multiple mailings to remind them to cast their vote.

SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF

VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND

VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND II

VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND III

VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND IV

TO BE HELD ON JULY 16, 2024

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with a solicitation of proxies made by, and on behalf of, the Board of Trustees of the above-named trusts (the trusts) to be used at the Special Meeting of Shareholders and at any adjournments thereof (the Meeting), to be held on July 16, 2024 at 8:00 a.m. ET. The Board of Trustees and Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) have determined that the Meeting will be held in a virtual format only. The Meeting will be accessible solely by means of remote audio communication. You will not be able to attend the meeting in person. Appendix A contains a list of the funds in each trust (the funds).

The purpose of the Meeting is set forth in the accompanying Notice. The solicitation is being made primarily by the mailing of the this Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card or voting instruction form on or about May 20, 2024. Supplementary solicitations may be made by mail, telephone, facsimile, electronic means or by personal interview by representatives of the trusts. In addition, Computershare Limited (Computershare) may be paid on a per-call basis to solicit shareholders by telephone on behalf of the funds in the trusts. The funds may also arrange to have votes recorded by telephone. Computershare may be paid on a per-call basis for vote-by-phone solicitations on behalf of the funds. The approximate anticipated total cost of these services is detailed in Appendix B.

Unless otherwise indicated in Appendix A, (i) the expenses in connection with preparing this Proxy Statement, its enclosures, and all solicitations and (ii) the expenses associated with reimbursing insurance companies and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation material to the beneficial owners of shares, will be borne by each fund.

For a fund whose management contract with FMR obligates FMR to pay certain fund level expenses, the expenses in connection with preparing this Proxy Statement and its enclosures and all solicitations will be borne by FMR. FMR will reimburse insurance companies and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation material to the beneficial owners of shares.

Appendix A lists each fund’s auditor and fiscal year end. The principal business address of FMR, each fund’s investment adviser, is 245 Summer Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02210. Each fund’s sub-adviser(s) and each sub-adviser’s principal business address are included in Appendix C. The principal business address of Fidelity Distributors Company LLC, each fund’s principal underwriter and distribution agent, is 900 Salem Street, Smithfield, Rhode Island 02917.

If the enclosed proxy or voting instruction form is executed and returned, that vote may nevertheless be revoked at any time prior to its use by written notification received

by a trust, by the execution of a later-dated proxy or voting instruction form, or by attending the virtual Meeting and voting.

All proxies solicited by the Board of Trustees that are properly executed and received by the Secretary prior to the Meeting, and are not revoked, will be voted at the Meeting. Shares represented by such proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon. If no specification is made on a properly executed proxy or voting instruction form, it will be voted FOR the matters specified on the proxy or voting instruction form. All shares that are voted and votes to ABSTAIN will be counted towards establishing a quorum. Most insurance company variable accounts will vote all of their shares in the same proportion as the voting instructions actually received from variable product owners. See page 2.

One-third of each trust’s outstanding voting securities entitled to vote constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting. If a quorum is not present at a Meeting, or if a quorum is present at a Meeting but sufficient votes to approve one or more of the proposed items are not received, or if other matters arise requiring shareholder attention, the persons named as proxy agents may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares present at the Meeting or represented by proxy. When voting on a proposed adjournment, the persons named as proxy agents will vote FOR the proposed adjournment all shares that they are entitled to vote with respect to the item, unless directed to vote AGAINST the item, in which case such shares will be voted AGAINST the proposed adjournment with respect to that item. A shareholder vote may be taken on the items in this Proxy Statement prior to such adjournment if sufficient votes have been received and it is otherwise appropriate.

Shares of each fund and class, if applicable, issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2024 are indicated in Appendix D.

Information regarding record and/or beneficial ownership of each fund and class, as applicable, is included in Appendix E.

Certain shares are registered to FMR or an FMR affiliate. To the extent that FMR and/or another entity or entities of which FMR LLC is the ultimate parent has discretion to vote, these shares will be voted at the Meeting FOR Proposal 1. Otherwise, these shares will be voted in accordance with the plan or agreement governing the shares. Although the terms of the plans and agreements vary, generally the shares must be voted either (i) in accordance with instructions received from shareholders or (ii) in accordance with instructions received from shareholders and, for shareholders who do not vote, in the same proportion as certain other shareholders have voted.

Shareholders of record at the close of business on May 20, 2024 will be entitled to vote at the Meeting. Each such shareholder will be entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value held on that date, with fractional dollar amounts entitled to a proportional fractional vote.

Shares of the trust are currently sold only to life insurance companies. Each company holds its shares in a separate account (the Variable Account), which serves as the

2

funding vehicle for its variable insurance products. In accordance with its view of present applicable law, each company will vote its shares held in its respective Variable Account at the Meeting in accordance with instructions received from persons having a voting interest in the Variable Account. Those persons who have a voting interest at the close of business on May 20, 2024, will be entitled to submit instructions to their company. For ease of reference, persons with a voting interest in a Variable Account may be referred to as “shareholders” in this Proxy Statement.

Fund shares held in a Variable Account for which no timely instructions are received will be voted by most companies in proportion to the voting instructions that are received with respect to all contracts participating in a Variable Account. This means that a small number of votes could determine the outcome.

Accordingly, if you wish to vote, you should complete the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form as a participant in a Variable Account. All forms which are properly executed and received prior to the Meeting, and which are not revoked, will be voted as described above. If the enclosed voting instruction form is executed and returned, it may nevertheless be revoked at any time prior to the Meeting by written notification received by your company, by execution of a later-dated form received by your company, or by attending the virtual Meeting and voting.

For a free copy of each fund’s annual and/or semiannual reports, call Fidelity at 1-877-208-0098, visit Fidelity’s web site at institutional.fidelity.com, or write to Fidelity Distributors Company LLC at 900 Salem Street, Smithfield, Rhode Island 02917.

VOTE REQUIRED: Approval of Proposal 1 requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of the applicable trust present or represented by proxy at the Meeting. Votes to ABSTAIN will have no effect.

In case a vacancy shall for any reason exist, the remaining Trustees will fill such vacancy by appointing another Trustee, so long as, immediately after such appointment, at least two-thirds of the Trustees have been elected by shareholders. If, at any time, less than a majority of the Trustees holding office has been elected by the shareholders, the Trustees then in office will promptly call a shareholders’ meeting for the purpose of electing a Board of Trustees.

BOARD STRUCTURE AND OVERSIGHT FUNCTION AND

STANDING COMMITTEES OF THE FUNDS’ TRUSTEES

Correspondence intended for each Independent Trustee may be sent to the attention of the individual Trustee or to the Board of Trustees at Fidelity Investments, P.O. Box 55235, Boston, Massachusetts 02205-5235. Correspondence intended for each Interested Trustee may be sent to the attention of the individual Trustee or to the Board of Trustees at Fidelity Investments, 245 Summer Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02210. The current process for collecting and organizing shareholder communications requires that the Board of Trustees receive copies of all communications addressed to it. All communications addressed to the Board of Trustees or any individual Trustee are logged and sent to the Board or individual Trustee. The funds do not hold annual meetings and therefore do not have a policy with regard to Trustees’ attendance at such meetings. However, as a matter of practice, at least one Trustee attends special meetings.

Mr. Lawrence is an interested person and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the funds. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Mr. Thomas serve as Lead Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity^® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The funds’ Board oversees Fidelity’s high income and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity’s alternative investment, investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation, and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity^® funds overseen by the funds’ Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity^® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On

16

occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity^® funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the funds, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the funds’ activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the funds’ business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the funds are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates, and other service providers, the funds’ exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board’s committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the funds’ activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the funds’ Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), the adviser’s internal auditor, the independent accountants, the funds’ Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board’s committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity’s risk management program for the Fidelity^® funds.

The Board of Trustees has established various committees to support the Independent Trustees in acting independently in pursuing the best interests of the funds and their shareholders. Currently, the Board of Trustees has 9 standing committees. The members of each committee are Independent Trustees. Advisory Board Members may be invited to attend meetings of the committees.

The Operations Committee is composed of all of the Independent Trustees, with Mr. Thomas currently serving as Chair and Mr. Wiley serving as Vice Chair. The committee serves as a forum for consideration of issues of importance to, or calling for particular determinations by, the Independent Trustees. The committee also considers matters involving potential conflicts of interest between the funds and FMR and its affiliates and reviews proposed contracts and the proposed continuation of contracts between the funds and FMR and its affiliates, and reviews and makes recommendations regarding contracts with third parties unaffiliated with FMR, including insurance coverage and custody agreements. The committee also monitors additional issues including the nature, levels and quality of services provided to shareholders and significant litigation. The committee also has oversight of compliance issues not specifically within the scope of any other committee. The committee is also responsible for definitive action on all compliance matters involving the potential for significant reimbursement by FMR. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the committee held ten meetings.

17

The Fair Value Oversight Committee is composed of Mses. Fuller (Chair) and Tomasky, and Messrs. Advani, Bostick, and Donahue. The Fair Value Oversight Committee oversees the valuation of fund investments by the valuation designee, receives and reviews related reports and information, and monitors matters of disclosure to the extent required to fulfill its statutory responsibilities. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the committee held four meetings.

The Board of Trustees has established two Fund Oversight Committees: the Equity I Committee (composed of Ms. Tomasky (Chair) and Messrs. Advani, Bostick, Donahue, and Munoz) and the Equity II Committee (composed of Messrs. Kennedy (Chair), Thomas, and Wiley, and Mses. Fuller, Kampling, and Peetz). Each committee develops an understanding of and reviews the investment objectives, policies, and practices of each fund under its oversight. Each committee also monitors investment performance, compliance by each relevant fund with its investment policies and restrictions and reviews appropriate benchmarks, competitive universes, unusual or exceptional investment matters, the personnel and other resources devoted to the management of each fund and all other matters bearing on each fund’s investment results. Each committee will review and recommend any required action to the Board in respect of specific funds, including new funds, changes in fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies and restrictions, partial or full closing to new investors, fund mergers, fund name changes, and liquidations of funds. The members of each committee may organize working groups to make recommendations concerning issues related to funds that are within the scope of the committee’s review. These working groups report to the committee or to the Independent Trustees, or both, as appropriate. Each working group may request from FMR such information from FMR as may be appropriate to the working group’s deliberations. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Equity I Committee and the Equity II Committee each held six meetings.

The Shareholder, Distribution, Brokerage and Proxy Voting Committee is composed of Ms. Kampling (Chair) and Messrs. Kennedy, Munoz, Thomas, and Wiley. Regarding shareholder services, the committee considers the structure and amount of the funds’ transfer agency fees and fees, including direct fees to investors (other than sales loads), such as bookkeeping and custodial fees, and the nature and quality of services rendered by FMR and its affiliates or third parties (such as custodians) in consideration of these fees. The committee also considers other non-investment management services rendered to the funds by FMR and its affiliates, including pricing and bookkeeping services. The committee monitors and recommends policies concerning the securities transactions of the funds, including brokerage. The committee periodically reviews the policies and practices with respect to efforts to achieve best execution, commissions paid to firms supplying research and brokerage services or paying fund expenses, and policies and procedures designed to assure that any allocation of portfolio transactions is not influenced by the sale of fund shares. The committee also monitors brokerage and other similar relationships between the funds and firms affiliated with FMR that participate in the execution of securities transactions. Regarding the distribution of fund shares, the committee considers issues bearing on the various distribution channels employed by the funds, including issues regarding Rule 18f-3 plans and related consideration of

18

classes of shares, sales load structures (including breakpoints), load waivers, selling concessions and service charges paid to intermediaries, Rule 12b-1 plans, contingent deferred sales charges, and finder’s fees, and other means by which intermediaries are compensated for selling fund shares or providing shareholder servicing, including revenue sharing. The committee also considers issues bearing on the preparation and use of advertisements and sales literature for the funds, policies and procedures regarding frequent purchase of fund shares, and selective disclosure of portfolio holdings. Regarding proxy voting, the committee reviews the fund’s proxy voting policies, considers changes to the policies, and reviews the manner in which the policies have been applied. The committee will receive reports on the manner in which proxy votes have been cast under the proxy voting policies and reports on consultations between the fund’s investment advisers and portfolio companies concerning matters presented to shareholders for approval. The committee will address issues relating to the fund’s annual voting report filed with the SEC. The committee will receive reports concerning the implementation of procedures and controls designed to ensure that the proxy voting policies are implemented in accordance with their terms. The committee will consider FMR’s recommendations concerning certain non-routine proposals not covered by the proxy voting policies. The committee will receive reports with respect to steps taken by FMR to assure that proxy voting has been done without regard to any other FMR relationships, business or otherwise, with that portfolio company. The committee will make recommendations to the Board concerning the casting of proxy votes in circumstances where FMR has determined that, because of a conflict of interest, the proposal to be voted on should be reviewed by the Board. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the committee held five meetings.

The Audit Committee is composed of Messrs. Donahue (Chair), Advani, and Kennedy, and Mses. Peetz and Tomasky. All committee members must be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. At least one committee member will be an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC. The committee meets separately at least annually with the funds’ Treasurer, with the funds’ Chief Financial Officer, with personnel responsible for the internal audit function of FMR LLC, with the funds’ independent auditors, and with the funds’ CCO. The committee has direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the independent auditors employed by the funds. The committee assists the Trustees in fulfilling their responsibility to oversee: (i) the systems relating to internal control over financial reporting of the funds and the funds’ service providers; (ii) the funds’ auditors and the annual audits of the funds’ financial statements; (iii) the financial reporting processes of the funds; (iv) the handling of whistleblower reports relating to internal accounting and/or financial control matters; (v) the accounting policies and disclosures of the funds; and (vi) studies of fund profitability and other comparative analyses relevant to the board’s consideration of the investment management contracts for the funds. The committee considers and acts upon (i) the provision by any independent auditor of any non-audit services for any fund, and (ii) the provision by any independent auditor of certain non-audit services to fund service providers and their affiliates to the extent that such

19

approval (in the case of this clause (ii)) is required under applicable regulations of the SEC. In furtherance of the foregoing, the committee has adopted (and may from time to time amend or supplement) and provides oversight of policies and procedures for non-audit engagements by independent auditors of the funds. The committee is responsible for approving all audit engagement fees and terms for the funds and for resolving disagreements between a fund and any independent auditor regarding any fund’s financial reporting. Auditors of the funds report directly to the committee. The committee will obtain assurance of independence and objectivity from the independent auditors, including a formal written statement delineating all relationships between the auditor and the funds and any service providers consistent with the rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. It will discuss regularly and oversee the review of internal controls of and the management of risks by the funds and their service providers with respect to accounting and financial matters (including financial reporting relating to the funds), including a review of: (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the funds’ ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data; (ii) any change in the fund’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the fund’s internal control over financial reporting; and (iii) any fraud, whether material or not, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the funds’ or service providers’ internal control over financial reporting. The committee will also review periodically the funds’ major exposures relating to internal control over financial reporting and the steps that have been taken to monitor and control such exposures. In connection to such reviews the committee will receive periodic reports on the funds’ service providers’ internal control over financial reporting. It will also review any correspondence with regulators or governmental agencies or published reports that raise material issues regarding the funds’ financial statements or accounting policies. These matters may also be reviewed by the Compliance Committee or the Operations Committee. The Chair of the Audit Committee will coordinate with the Chairs of other committees, as appropriate. The committee reviews at least annually a report from each independent auditor describing any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality control, peer review, or Public Company Accounting Oversight Board examination of the auditing firm and any material issues raised by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities of the auditing firm and in each case any steps taken to deal with such issues. The committee will oversee and receive reports on the funds’ financial reporting process, will discuss with FMR, the funds’ Treasurer, independent auditors and, if appropriate, internal audit personnel of FMR LLC, their qualitative judgments about the appropriateness and acceptability of accounting principles and financial disclosure practices used or proposed for adoption by the funds. The committee will review with FMR, the funds’ Treasurer, independent auditor, and internal audit personnel of FMR LLC and, as appropriate, legal counsel the results of audits of the funds’ financial statements. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the committee held six meetings.

The Governance and Nominating Committee is composed of Messrs. Thomas (Chair), Donahue, and Wiley, and Ms. Fuller. With respect to fund governance and board

20

administration matters, the committee periodically reviews procedures of the Board of Trustees and its committees (including committee charters) and periodically reviews compensation of Independent Trustees. The committee monitors corporate governance matters and makes recommendations to the Board of Trustees on the frequency and structure of the Board of Trustee meetings and on any other aspect of Board procedures. It acts as the administrative committee under the retirement plan for Independent Trustees who retired prior to December 30, 1996 and under the fee deferral plan for Independent Trustees. It reviews the performance of legal counsel employed by the funds and the Independent Trustees. On behalf of the Independent Trustees, the committee will make such findings and determinations as to the independence of counsel for the Independent Trustees as may be necessary or appropriate under applicable regulations or otherwise. The committee is also responsible for Board administrative matters applicable to Independent Trustees, such as expense reimbursement policies and compensation for attendance at meetings, conferences and other events. The committee monitors compliance with, acts as the administrator of, and makes determinations in respect of, the provisions of the code of ethics and any supplemental policies regarding personal securities transactions applicable to the Independent Trustees. The committee monitors the functioning of each Board committee and makes recommendations for any changes, including the creation or elimination of standing or ad hoc Board committees. The committee monitors regulatory and other developments to determine whether to recommend modifications to the committee’s responsibilities or other Trustee policies and procedures in light of rule changes, reports concerning “best practices” in corporate governance, and other developments in mutual fund governance. The committee reports regularly to the Independent Trustees with respect to these activities. The committee recommends that the Board establish such special or ad hoc Board committees as may be desirable or necessary from time to time in order to address ethical, legal, or other matters that may arise. The committee also oversees the annual self-evaluation of the Board of Trustees and of each committee and establishes procedures to allow it to exercise this oversight function. In conducting this oversight, the committee shall address all matters that it considers relevant to the performance of the Board of Trustees and shall report the results of its evaluation to the Board of Trustees, including any recommended amendments to the principles of governance, and any recommended changes to the funds’ or the Board of Trustees’ policies, procedures, and structures. The committee reviews periodically the size and composition of the Board of Trustees as a whole and recommends, if necessary, measures to be taken so that the Board of Trustees reflects the appropriate balance of knowledge, experience, skills, expertise, and diversity required for the Board as a whole and contains at least the minimum number of Independent Trustees required by law. The committee makes nominations for the election or appointment of Independent Trustees and non-management Members of any Advisory Board, and for membership on committees. The committee shall have authority to retain and terminate any third-party advisers, including authority to approve fees and other retention terms. Such advisers may include search firms to identify Independent Trustee candidates and board compensation consultants. The committee may conduct or authorize investigations into or studies of matters within the committee’s scope of responsibilities, and may retain, at the funds’ expense, such independent counsel or

21

other advisers as it deems necessary. The committee will consider Independent Trustee candidates to the Board of Trustees recommended by shareholders based upon the criteria applied to candidates presented to the committee by a search firm or other source. Recommendations, along with appropriate background material concerning the candidate that demonstrates his or her ability to serve as an Independent Trustee of the funds, should be submitted to the Chair of the committee at the address maintained for communications with Independent Trustees. If the committee retains a search firm, the Chair will generally forward all such submissions to the search firm for evaluation. With respect to the criteria for selecting Independent Trustees, it is expected that all candidates will possess the following minimum qualifications: (i) unquestioned personal integrity; (ii) not an interested person of the funds within the meaning of the 1940 Act; (iii) does not have a material relationship (e.g., commercial, banking, consulting, legal, or accounting) with the adviser, any sub-adviser, or their affiliates that could create an appearance of lack of independence in respect of the funds; (iv) has the disposition to act independently in respect of FMR and its affiliates and others in order to protect the interests of the funds and all shareholders; (v) ability to attend regularly scheduled meetings during the year; (vi) demonstrates sound business judgment gained through broad experience in significant positions where the candidate has dealt with management, technical, financial, or regulatory issues; (vii) sufficient financial or accounting knowledge to add value in the complex financial environment of the funds; (viii) experience on corporate or other institutional oversight bodies having similar responsibilities, but which board memberships or other relationships could not result in business or regulatory conflicts with the funds; and (ix) capacity for the hard work and attention to detail that is required to be an effective Independent Trustee in light of the funds’ complex regulatory, operational, and marketing setting. The Governance and Nominating Committee may determine that a candidate who does not have the type of previous experience or knowledge referred to above should nevertheless be considered as a nominee if the Governance and Nominating Committee finds that the candidate has additional qualifications such that his or her qualifications, taken as a whole, demonstrate the same level of fitness to serve as an Independent Trustee. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the committee held ten meetings.

The Compliance Committee is composed of Messrs. Wiley (Chair), Bostick, and Munoz, and Mses. Fuller, Kampling, and Peetz. The committee oversees the administration and operation of the compliance policies and procedures of the funds and their service providers as required by Rule 38a-1 of the 1940 Act. The committee is responsible for the review and approval of policies and procedures relating to (i) provisions of the Code of Ethics, (ii) anti-money laundering requirements, (iii) compliance with investment restrictions and limitations, (iv) privacy, (v) recordkeeping, and (vi) other compliance policies and procedures which are not otherwise delegated to another committee. The committee has responsibility for recommending to the Board the designation of a CCO of the funds. The committee serves as the primary point of contact between the CCO and the Board, oversees the annual performance review and compensation of the CCO, and makes recommendations to the Board with respect to the removal of the appointed CCO, as appropriate. The committee receives reports of significant corre-

22

spondence with regulators or governmental agencies, employee complaints or published reports which raise concerns regarding compliance matters, and copies of significant non-routine correspondence with the SEC. The committee receives reports from the CCO including the annual report concerning the funds’ compliance policies as required by Rule 38a-1, quarterly reports in respect of any breaches of fiduciary duty or violations of federal securities laws, and reports on any other compliance or related matters that would otherwise be subject to periodic reporting or that may have a significant impact on the funds. The committee will recommend to the Board, what actions, if any, should be taken with respect to such reports. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the committee held five meetings.

The Research Committee is composed of all of the Independent Trustees, with Mr. Bostick currently serving as Chair. The Committee’s purpose is to assess the quality of the investment research available to FMR’s investment professionals. As such, the Committee reviews information pertaining to the sources of such research, the categories of research, the manner in which the funds bear the cost of research, and FMR’s internal research capabilities, including performance metrics, interactions between FMR portfolio managers and research analysts, and the professional quality of analysts in research careers. Where necessary, the Committee recommends actions with respect to various reports providing information on FMR’s research function. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the committee held six meetings.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS

The firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) or Deloitte & Touche LLP (Deloitte), the member firms of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, and their respective affiliates (collectively, Deloitte Entities), has been selected as the independent registered public accounting firm for each fund, as indicated in Appendix A. PwC and Deloitte Entities, in accordance with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board rules, have confirmed to the Audit Committee of each trust, as applicable, that they are the independent registered public accounting firms with respect to the funds.

The independent registered public accounting firms audit annual financial statements for the funds and provide other audit-related, non-audit, and tax-related services to the funds. Representatives of PwC and Deloitte Entities are not expected to be present at the Meeting, but have been given the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available should any matter arise requiring their presence.

Each trust’s Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by a fund’s independent registered public accounting firm relating to the operations or financial reporting of the funds. Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.

Each trust’s Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the Committee’s consideration of non-audit services by the audit firms that audit the Fidelity funds. The policies and procedures require that

23

any non-audit service provided by a fund audit firm to a Fidelity fund and any non-audit service provided by a fund auditor to FMR and entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with FMR (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) that provide ongoing services to the funds (Fund Service Providers) that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (Covered Service) are subject to approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided. All Covered Services must be approved in advance of provision of the service either: (i) by formal resolution of the Audit Committee, or (ii) by oral or written approval of the service by the Chair of the Audit Committee (or if the Chair is unavailable, such other member of the Audit Committee as may be designated by the Chair to act in the Chair’s absence). The approval contemplated by (ii) above is permitted where the Treasurer determines that action on such an engagement is necessary before the next meeting of the Audit Committee.

Non-audit services provided by a fund audit firm to a Fund Service Provider that do not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (Non-Covered Service) are reported to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis.

Each trust’s Audit Committee has considered non-audit services that were not pre-approved that were provided by PwC and Deloitte Entities to Fund Service Providers to be compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC and Deloitte Entities in their audit of the funds, taking into account representations from PwC and Deloitte Entities, in accordance with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board rules, regarding their independence from the funds and their related entities and FMR’s review of the appropriateness and permissibility under applicable law of such non-audit services prior to their provision to the Fund Service Providers.

Fees and Services

Appendix I presents fees billed by PwC and Deloitte Entities in each of the last two fiscal years for services rendered to the funds.

Appendix J presents fees billed by PwC and Deloitte Entities that were required to be approved by each trust’s Audit Committee for services that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the funds and that are rendered on behalf of Fund Service Providers.

Appendix K presents the aggregate non-audit fees billed by PwC and Deloitte Entities for services rendered to the funds and any Fund Service Provider for each of the last two fiscal years of the funds.

There were no non-audit services approved or required to be approved by the trusts’ Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception during the funds’ last two fiscal years relating to services provided to (i) the funds or (ii) any Fund Service Provider that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the funds.
