Dear Valued Shareholder,

Our proxy solicitation firm, AST Fund Solutions, LLC. (“AST”), recently contacted you seeking your participation at a special meeting of shareholders (“Special Meeting”) of AllianzGI Artificial Intelligence & Technology Opportunities Fund (“AIO” or the “Fund”), in which you were invested as of the record date, September 10, 2020. When AST contacted you, you requested that AST not contact you again by telephone regarding this matter. We understand and respect your wishes not to be contacted via telephone again by AST and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience these calls may have caused.

Unfortunately, because of the regulatory requirements associated with the proposals to be addressed at the Special Meeting, we must continue to contact shareholders until we obtain the minimum number of votes necessary.

Please be advised that, to date, the Fund has not received the minimum number of shareholder votes required by law to proceed with the important proposals outlined in the proxy materials previously mailed to you. As you are one of the largest un-voted shareholders, we are reaching out to you again, via this mailing, to respectfully reiterate how critical it is for you to vote your shares.

To vote, please call 1-866-342-4883, Extension 14688 between 9 a.m. and 10 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, and provide the reference number listed below. The call will take less than two minutes of your time.

REFERENCE NUMBER:    123456789

As detailed in the proxy materials, the Board of Trustees of AIO unanimously recommends that you vote in favor of the proposals to approve the New Investment Advisory Agreement and New Sub Advisory Agreement for AIO.

Please vote now so that your response is received before the adjourned Special Meeting on January 26, 2021. By casting your vote now, your vote will be counted if the Special Meeting is adjourned to a later date.

Your prompt response is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

 

NOBO
