At the meeting, stockholders of each\nFund will consider the election of Directors and approval of auditors.\n\nImportant Information\n\nThe Central and Eastern Europe Fund, Inc. is non-diversified and can take\nlarger positions in fewer issues, increasing its potential risk. Investing in\nforeign securities presents certain risks, such as currency fluctuations,\npolitical and economic changes, and market risks. Emerging markets tend to be\nmore volatile and less liquid than the markets of more mature economies, and\ngenerally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less\nstable political systems than those of developed countries. Any fund that\nfocuses in a particular segment of the market or region of the world will\ngenerally be more volatile than a fund that invests more broadly. This fund is\nnon-diversified and can take larger positions in fewer issues, increasing its\npotential risk.\n\nThe New Germany Fund, Inc. is diversified and primarily focuses its\ninvestments in Germany, thereby increasing its vulnerability to developments\nin that country.\n\nInvesting in foreign securities, particularly of emerging markets, presents\ncertain risks, such as currency fluctuations, and risks of currency and\ncapital controls, political and economic changes, and market risks. Any fund\nthat concentrates in a particular segment of the market or a particular\ngeographical region will generally be more volatile than a fund that invests\nmore broadly.\n\nThe shares of most closed-end funds, including the Funds, are not continuously\noffered. Once issued, shares of closed-end funds are bought and sold in the\nopen market through a stock exchange. Shares of closed-end funds frequently\ntrade at a discount to net asset value. The price of a fund’s shares is\ndetermined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of\nthe fund. Therefore, a fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at,\nbelow, or above net asset value.\n\nWar, terrorism, sanctions, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health\ncrises and related geopolitical events have led, and, in the future, may lead\nto significant disruptions in US and world economies and markets, which may\nlead to increased market volatility and may have significant adverse effects\non the funds and their investments.\n\nThis press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to\nbuy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or\njurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation or sale would be unlawful\nprior to registration or qualification under the laws of such state or\njurisdiction.\n\nPast performance is no guarantee of future results.\n\nNOT FDIC/ NCUA INSURED • MAY LOSE VALUE • NO BANK GUARANTEE\n\nNOT A DEPOSIT • NOT INSURED BY ANY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCY\n\nDWS Distributors, Inc.\n\n222 South Riverside Plaza\n\nChicago, IL 60606-5808\n\nwww.dws.com \n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dws.com&esheet=54520709&newsitemid=20260422413768&lan=en-US&anchor=www.dws.com&index=1&md5=b9ba9fd623e980947f937a69c4a7abe7)\n\nTel (800) 621-1148\n\n© 2026 DWS Group GmbH & Co.
