Material Terms of the Subadvisory Agreement

The Subadvisory Agreement has an initial term of two years from its effective date of November 18, 2024 (unless sooner terminated in accordance with its terms). Thereafter, continuance of the Subadvisory Agreement shall be subject to the specific approval, at least annually, by vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees, at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and by either an affirmative vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust, or a vote of the majority of the outstanding voting securities (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund.

Under the terms of the Subadvisory Agreement, subject to the supervision of the Adviser and the Board, Putnam formulates and implements a continuous investment program for the Sub-Advised Portion and determines the securities, cash and other financial instruments to be purchased, retained or sold for the Sub-Advised Portion.

The Subadvisory Agreement provides that it may be terminated at any time, without payment of any penalty, (i) by the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund (as defined by the 1940 Act), upon sixty (60) days' written notice to USBAM and the Sub-Adviser, (ii) by USBAM or the Sub-Adviser upon at least sixty (60) days' written notice to the other party, and (iii) by USBAM or the Fund upon a material breach by the Sub-Adviser of any of the Sub-Adviser's obligations or representations under the Subadvisory Agreement if such breach is not corrected within five (5) business days after notice thereof by USBAM or the Fund. The Subadvisory Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of any assignment thereof, as defined in the 1940 Act, and upon any termination of the Management Agreement between USBAM and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund.

The Subadvisory Agreement provides that neither the Sub-Adviser nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be subject to liability to USBAM or the Fund or to any shareholder of the Fund for any error of judgment or mistake of law or any other act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services under the Subadvisory Agreement, for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security by the Fund, or as a result of any activities of any other sub-adviser appointed by USBAM to provide investment management services to the Fund, provided that nothing in the Subadvisory Agreement shall be construed to protect Putnam or any director, officer or employee of Putnam in the event of Putnam's material breach of the Subadvisory Agreement, willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of its obligations or duties under the Subadvisory Agreement. The Subadvisory Agreement provides that Putnam will indemnify and hold harmless the Fund, USBAM and each of its affiliates, officers, directors, trustees, and employees (each a "USBAM Indemnified Party") harmless from, against, for and in respect of all losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred by a USBAM Indemnified Party with respect to (i) Sub-Adviser's material breach of the Subadvisory Agreement, willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of its obligations or duties under the Subadvisory Agreement, together with all legal and other expenses

3

reasonably incurred by any such USBAM Indemnified Party in connection with such liability. The Subadvisory Agreement contains similar provisions pursuant to which USBAM and the Fund are subject to liability and required to indemnify the Sub-Adviser.

As compensation for the subadvisory services performed by Putnam, the Adviser pays Putnam a subadvisory fee out of the advisory fee the Adviser receives from the Fund.

Because the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser out of the advisory fee the Adviser receives from the Fund, there is no increase in the advisory fee paid by the Fund in connection with the appointment of Putnam as sub-adviser to the Fund.

Evaluation by the Board

At the Meeting, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, reviewed and approved the Subadvisory Agreement on behalf of the Fund for an initial two-year period. The Independent Trustees received advice from and met separately with Independent Trustee counsel in considering whether to approve the Subadvisory Agreement.

In considering the Subadvisory Agreement, the Board reviewed and considered information provided by Putnam at the Meeting specifically related to the Subadvisory Agreement, as well as information about the management of the Fund by the Adviser and other sub-advisers provided throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. The Board also reviewed and considered information Putnam provided in response to a detailed set of requests for information submitted to the Sub-Adviser by Independent Trustee counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees in connection with the approval of the Subadvisory Agreement. The Board reviewed and considered all of the factors it deemed relevant in approving the Subadvisory Agreement, including, but not limited to: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by Putnam; (ii) the costs of the services to be provided to the Fund; and (iii) the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows; and (iv) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.

In approving the Subadvisory Agreement, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of the Subadvisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that the approval of such Subadvisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. While attention was given to all information furnished, the following discusses some primary factors relevant to the Board's determination.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services: The Board reviewed and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of investment sub-advisory services expected to be provided by Putnam to the Fund and its shareholders.The Board noted that the Fund employs a "manager of managers" structure pursuant to the Order, whereby the Adviser is responsible for selecting sub-advisers (subject to Board and shareholder approval, as applicable); and subject to oversight of the Board, for allocating the Fund's assets among such sub-advisers, and overseeing the sub-advisers' day-to-day management of their respective sleeves of the Fund. The Board further noted the responsibilities that Putnam will have with respect to the Sub-Advised Portion, including, among others, security selection for the Sub-Advised Portion consistent with agreed upon investment guidelines. The information the Board reviewed and considered by included, among other things, Putnam's proposed investment strategy, and ability to implement such investment strategy, including, but not limited to, Putnam's trading practices and investment decision processes. The Board also reviewed and considered, among other things, general information on the ownership structure, history, management, affiliations, financial condition and viability, and insurance coverage of Putnam; Putnam's professional staff, including the experience and responsibilities of the investment team and potential conflicts of interests; information on how portfolio transactions would be effected; Putnam's risk management controls, including how Putnam would comply with the Fund's investment guidelines; and Putnam's compliance program. The Board also considered the Adviser's rationale for recommending the approval of Putnam.

4

The Board further considered the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer's review of Putnam's compliance program and capabilities as such program and capabilities relate to the operations of the Fund and the monitoring and testing of such program undertaken by the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer. The Board also considered the selection and due diligence process employed by the Adviser in selecting and deciding to retain Putnam as a sub-adviser to the Fund, including the due diligence undertaken with respect to Putnam's compliance and risk management capabilities.

Following consideration of such information, the Board was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Putnam to the Fund and its shareholders.

Fund Performance: Because Putnam has not yet managed any assets of the Fund, the Board concluded that the Fund's current performance was not a relevant factor in its consideration of the Subadvisory Agreement. Notwithstanding, the Board considered the historic performance of a composite for Putnam, but noted that the composite's multi-cap strategy was not directly comparable to the large-cap strategy mandate that the Sub-Adviser would employ for the Fund.

Comparative Fees and Expenses: The Board reviewed and considered information regarding the sub-advisory fee to be paid to Putnam (the "Sub-Advisory Fee"). The Board received confirmation that the Sub-Advisory Fee will be paid by the Adviser to Putnam and is not an additional fee to be borne by the Fund. The Board noted that the Sub-Advisory Fee to be paid by the Adviser to Putnam was the product of arms-length negotiations between the Adviser and Putnam. The Board concluded that the Sub-Advisory Fee is reasonable based on the information provided.

Profitability and Economies of Scale: The Board reviewed and considered information it received at the Meeting regarding the expected impact of retaining the Sub-Adviser on the profitability of the Adviser consistent with the conditions of the Order. The Board determined that its conclusions regarding profitability and economies of scale reached in connection with the September 2024 annual contract renewal of the existing investment management agreement with the Adviser had not changed as a result of the proposal to approve the Sub-advisory Agreement.

Conclusion: Based on its review, consideration and evaluation of all factors it believed relevant, including the above-described factors and conclusions, the Board unanimously approved the Subadvisory Agreement for an initial two-year period.
