For the Fiscal Year ended November 30, 2013, Non-Audit Fees—Other relate to services provided by FMO’s independent registered public accounting firm in connection with an analysis of FMO's proper state of domicile and assumptions regarding state tax rates to which FMO will be subject. These special non-routine services and corresponding fees are not expected to recur in future fiscal years. Aggregate fees billed for these services by FMO’s independent registered public accounting firm were $71,000 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2013. Total Non-Audit Fees, less such fees billed in connection with the non-routine services described above, would have been $39,000 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2013.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS
THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” EACH PROPOSAL
LISTED IN THE PROXY STATEMENT
It is important that your shares be represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to complete, sign, date, and return the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided or vote via telephone or the Internet pursuant to the instructions on the enclosed proxy card so you will be represented at the Annual Meeting. If you attend the Annual Meeting and wish to vote in person, you will be able to do so and your vote at the Annual Meeting will revoke any proxy you may have submitted. Merely attending the Annual Meeting, however, will not revoke any previously submitted proxy.
