Important Proxy Information for Your Clients

In the coming days, shareholders of the Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), including those invested in the Fund through a separate account strategy managed by Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC ("MNA") will receive a proxy statement regarding a shareholder meeting on August 19, 2022 to consider a proposal to elect Directors to the Board of Directors of the Fund, and a second proposal to approve a new investment advisory agreement for their respective Series between MNA and the Fund. Shareholders of the Rainier International Discovery Series will also be asked to approve a new investment sub-advisory agreement between MNA and Rainier Investment Management, LLC as part of the second proposal.

The proxy statement (https://materials.proxyvote.com/Approved/MC2933/20220621/NPS_511043.PDF) provides important information on the proposals. The "Questions and Answers" section within the proxy statement may be helpful if you receive questions from your clients about the proposals.
