Following the closing of the transaction, Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC, the Fund'​s Investment Manager, Wells Capital Management Incorporated and Wells Fargo Asset Management (​International) Limited, each Sub-​advisors to certain Funds, and Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, the Funds’ principal underwriter, will each migrate to Allspring."
