This is not an offer of money market fund shares. The Liquidity Plus program is governed by the Liquidity Plus terms and conditions. Read the terms and conditions carefully before entering into the Liquidity Plus program and read the prospectus carefully before making any money market fund investment.

Deposits in the Liquidity Plus program are deposits at participating banks, which includes U.S. Bank as the primary bank. You can exclude a participating bank from holding your deposits in the Liquidity Plus program by directing U.S. Bank to remove the bank from the list. If you have other funds on deposit at a participating bank those funds may be aggregated with your funds that are on deposit in that participating bank for deposit insurance purposes and thereby reduce your deposit insurance coverage under the program. If you exclude a participating bank, the total amount of deposit insurance available to you under the Liquidity Plus program also may decrease. Participating banks may be added or deleted from the Liquidity Plus program. Refer to the Liquidity Plus terms and conditions for full program details, including additional information on the operations and limitations of FDIC insurance on Liquidity Plus deposits.
