Effective immediately, SSGA Funds Management, Inc.

Accordingly, effective immediately, (i) all references to the Fund’s fee waiver are deleted, and (ii) the fee table and example table in the “FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND” section on page 8 of the Prospectus are deleted and replaced with the following:
