Temporary International Mail Service Disruptions to Certain Countries Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic

Due to COVID-19 and its impact on the current environment, the United States Postal Service (USPS) has temporarily suspended international mail service to the foreign countries listed on their website. Pursuant to the Security and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Staff Statement Regarding Temporary International Mail Service Suspensions to Certain Jurisdictions Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic, dated June 24, 2020, Principal Funds mailings to shareholders in the international jurisdictions impacted by the mail suspensions will be delayed. These restrictions may impact Principal Funds’ ability to timely deliver certain documents, including account statements, trade confirmations, tax reporting documents, prospectuses, annual reports, semi-annual reports, proxy statements and other shareholder communications.

To avoid undue delay in receipt of these documents, we encourage all shareholders who live in impacted countries to opt-in to electronic delivery, either temporarily or permanently, to avoid further delays as a result of mail delivery restrictions. If you do not consent to electronic delivery, Principal Funds will take reasonable steps to send physical mailings within 7 days after mail delivery services resume in your country of residence.
