Organizational Actions

Form 8937 - Report of Organizational Actions

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires mutual funds to post information on organizational actions occurring on or after January 1, 2012. IRS Form 8937 describes the effects of the organizational action on a shareholder's basis. Examples of common organizational actions include stock splits, mergers, and nontaxable distributions (i.e., return of capital). Organizational actions that affect the basis of covered securities (generally mutual fund shares purchased after January 1, 2012) will be tracked by Lord Abbett or your broker in accordance with mandatory cost-basis reporting (see the Cost Basis Center for more details). Please note, the information provided on Form 8937 is based upon the best available information as of the time it was created. Reasonable assumptions may have been made in preparing the attached form. Lord Abbett may update the form, without prior notice, if additional information is obtained that changes the effects on the cost basis as originally reported. Please consult your tax advisor prior to using the attached information.
