QUESTIONS & ANSWERS FOR:
INVESCO ENERGY FUND
We encourage you to read the proxy statement in full; however, the following represent some typical questions that shareholders may have regarding the proxy statement.
HOW DO I VOTE?
Voting may take place in the following ways:
| • | You may vote your shares on the voting website listed on your proxy card and/or voting instruction card. You will need the 14-digit control number from your proxy card and/or voting instruction card to vote on the Internet. Because Internet voting is the most economical way to vote your proxy, we encourage all shareholders to use this method. |
| • | You may call in your vote to a 24-hour automated system or a live proxy representative by calling the phone number(s) listed on your proxy card and/or voting instruction card. You will need the 14-digit control number from your proxy card and/or voting instruction card to vote by telephone. |
| • | You may indicate your vote on the proxy card and/or voting instruction card and return it in the postage-paid envelope mailed to you with your proxy statement. |
| • | If you do attend the meeting, you may vote your shares in person. Please notify us by calling 1-800-952-3502 if you plan to attend the meeting. |
WHAT IS THE PROPOSAL BEING PRESENTED AT THE SHAREHOLDER MEETING AND WHAT AM I BEING ASKED TO VOTE ON?
| • | To approve changing the Fund’s sub-classification from “diversified” to “non-diversified” and approve the elimination of the related fundamental investment restriction. |
HOW DOES THE BOARD RECOMMEND THAT I VOTE?
The Board recommends that you vote FOR the Proposal.
WHY SHOULD I VOTE?
Every vote is important. If shareholders fail to vote their proxies, the fund may not receive enough votes to go forward with the December 6, 2022 shareholder meeting. If this happens, additional solicitations may have to be made to obtain a quorum, or proxies may have to be resent to shareholders.
WHO HAVE WE CONTRACTED FOR THE SERVICES OF A PROXY SOLICITOR?
We have hired Computershare Trust Company, N.A. as the Fund’s proxy solicitor. If we do not receive your vote after a reasonable amount of time, you may receive a telephone call from them reminding you to vote your shares.
WILL MY VOTE BE CONFIDENTIAL USING THE ONLINE PROXY VOTING SYSTEM?
The Web proxy voting system offered by www.proxy-direct.com maintains security features designed to protect the confidentiality of your vote. These security features include:
| • | HTTP Secure (HTTPS) – A security measure that encrypts all information that travels between the www.proxy-direct.com Web server and the shareholder’s computer. |
| • | Control Number – Each shareholder is required to enter his or her 14-digit control number. www.proxy-direct.com verifies the number and presents the holder with the proxy card and/or voting instruction card. |
| • | Firewall – To protect the confidentiality of your account records, www.proxy-direct.com uses only control numbers and card codes to register votes. Voted positions are then periodically uploaded to our master database of shareholders listed as of the record date. All account-specific data remains behind our firewall. |
HOW DO I SIGN THE PROXY CARD AND/OR VOTING INSTRUCTION CARD?
The following general rules for signing proxy cards and/or voting instruction cards may be of assistance to you and could help avoid the time and expense involved in validating your vote if you fail to sign your proxy card and/or voting instruction card properly.
Individual and Joint Accounts: Shareholders and joint owners should sign exactly as their name appears in the account registration shown on the proxy card and/or voting instruction card. If shares are held jointly, one or more owners should sign personally.
All Other Accounts: The capacity of the individual signing the proxy card and/or voting instruction card (for example, “trustee”) should be indicated unless it is reflected in the form of registration. If a corporation, limited liability company, or partnership, please sign the full entity name and indicate the signer’s position with the entity.
