Subject: YOUR FIRM'S RETAIL FUND PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT WITH MUNDER SERIES
TRUST WITH RESPECT TO ITS SERIES PORTFOLIOS (COLLECTIVELY, THE "MUNDER
FUNDS") AND MUNDER CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Dear Valued Partner:
Our records indicate that you are currently a party to an Retail Fund
Participation Agreement, as subsequently amended (the "Agreement"), relating to
certain services provided for the Munder Funds.
As previously announced, the parent company of Victory Capital Management Inc.
("VCM") has agreed to purchase Munder Capital Management ("Munder"), the
investment advisor to the Munder Funds (the "Transaction"). VCM is the
investment adviser for the series portfolios of The Victory Portfolios (the
"Victory Funds"), an investment company registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, and will be the surviving investment adviser in the
Transaction.
As part of the Transaction, each of the Munder Funds is proposed to be
reorganize into a corresponding, newly created Victory Fund (each a
"Victory/Munder Fund"), subject to the approval of each Munder Fund's
shareholders (each a "Reorganization"). Except for the Growth Opportunity Fund,
the investment objective and principal investment strategies of each
Victory/Munder Fund will be identical to that of its corresponding Munder Fund.
There are no proposed changes in the day-to-day management of the Munder Funds
as a result of the Reorganizations since VCM expects to employ or retain the
services of the Munder Funds' current portfolio managers to manage the
corresponding Victory/Munder Funds. Completion of the Transaction and the
Reorganizations is currently expected to take place early in the fourth quarter
of 2014 (the "Closing"), subject to customary closing conditions.
To ensure a seamless transition for of your agreement from the Munder Funds to
the corresponding Victory Funds and from Munder to Victory Capital Management,
Munder is requesting your consent to assign the Agreement to The Victory
Portfolios and VCM with respect only to those Funds listed in Schedule A on the
next page, as amended, to take effect upon the Closing. THERE WILL BE NO CHANGE
TO THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT UPON ITS ASSIGNMENT. SCHEDULE A, HOWEVER, WILL BE
REVISED TO REFLECT THE REORGANIZATIONS.
PLEASE INDICATE YOUR CONSENT TO THE ASSIGNMENT AND CONTINUATION OF THE AGREEMENT
IN CONNECTION WITH THE REORGANIZATIONS BY SIGNING BELOW AND RETURNING THE
EXECUTED CONSENT BY SEPTEMBER 15, 2014 TO ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ AT ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇.▇▇▇
