[1] Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the Advisor or Manning & Napier) has contractually agreed to waive the management fee for the Class W shares. In addition, pursuant to a separate expense limitation agreement, the Advisor has contractually agreed to limit its fees and reimburse expenses to the extent necessary so that the total direct annual fund operating expenses of each Class, exclusive of the Shareholder Services Fee and waived Class W management fees (collectively, “excluded expenses”), do not exceed 0.80% of the average daily net assets of the Class S shares, and 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Class W shares. These contractual waivers will continue indefinitely, and may only be amended or terminated with the approval of the Series’ Board of Directors. The Advisor’s agreement to limit each Class’s operating expenses is limited to direct operating expenses and, therefore, does not apply to acquired fund fees and expenses, which are indirect expenses incurred by the Series through its investments in other investment companies. The Advisor may receive from a Class the difference between the Class’s total direct annual fund operating expenses, not including excluded expenses, and the Class’s contractual expense limit to recoup all or a portion of its prior fee waivers (other than Class W management fee waivers) or expense reimbursements made during the rolling three-year period (i.e., the three year period following a waiver or reimbursement) preceding the recoupment if at any point the total direct annual fund operating expenses, not including excluded expenses, are below the contractual expense limit (a) at the time of the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement and (b) at the time of the recoupment.
[2] The total annual fund operating expenses in this fee table may not correlate to the expense ratios in the financial highlights in the prospectus (and in the Series’ financial statements) because the financial highlights include only the Series’ direct operating expenses and do not include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Series through its investments in other investment companies.
