On April 29, 2024, The Baker Funds agreed to extend this waiver through May 27, 2024 (the “Amendment to the Waiver Agreement”). The foregoing summary of the Amendment to the Waiver Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the Amendment to the Waiver Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
