1. Total (net) expense represents the total annual operating expenses that shareholders pay (after the effect of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement, if any). Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC (“Manager”) has contractually undertaken to waive and/or reimburse certain fees and expenses of the Fund so that the total annual operating expenses are capped (excluding interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes including any expense relating to tax reclaims, dividend and interest expenses relating to short sales, and extraordinary expenses, if any; consequently, total (net) expenses may exceed the contractual cap) through 10/31/2029 for Institutional Class at 0.59%, Class A at 0.99%, Class C at 1.69%, Trust Class at 0.94% and Class R6 at 0.49% (each as a % of average net assets). Absent such arrangements, which cannot be changed without Board approval, the returns may have been lower. Information as of the most recent prospectus dated February 28, 2026, as amended and supplemented.

All Risk Measures are calculated using the Fund’s Institutional Share Class.

Weighted Average Maturity is expected average life to worst or in other words the par-weighted average time (in years) to principal repayment for securitized assets or the time (in years) to probable call/put for non-securitized assets.

Average Effective Duration can be a useful tool in measuring the price sensitivity of the portfolio to changes in interest rates and measures the % change in price for a 100 bps of shift in interest rates. Unlike other measures of duration, average effective duration takes into account any optionalities (e.g. whether the instrument is callable at a certain price) embedded within each security in the portfolio. Generally, the larger the duration, the more sensitive the portfolio will be to a change in interest rates. Instruments with higher effective durations often carry more risk and have higher price volatility than those with lower durations.

Standard Deviation is a statistical measure of portfolio risk. The Standard Deviation describes the average deviation of the portfolio returns from the mean portfolio return over a certain period of time. Standard Deviation measures how wide this range of returns typically is. The wider the typical range of returns, the higher the Standard Deviation of returns, and the higher the portfolio risk.

Sharpe Ratio characterizes how well the return of the Fund compensates the investor for the risk taken relative to a risk free cash investment. When comparing two funds versus a common benchmark, the one with a higher Sharpe Ratio provides better return for the same risk (or, equivalently, the same return for lower risk).

30-day SEC yield is similar to a yield to maturity for the entire portfolio. The formula is designated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Absent any expense cap arrangement noted above, the SEC yields may have been lower. A negative 30-Day SEC yield results when a Fund’s accrued expenses exceed its income for the relevant period. Please note, in such instances the 30-day SEC yield may not equal the Fund’s actual rate of income earned and distributed by the fund and therefore, a per-share distribution may still be paid to shareholders. The unsubsidized 30-day SEC yields for Class A, Class C, Class R6, Institutional Class and Trust Class as of September 30, 2026 are 5.20%, 4.42%, 5.68%, 5.58% and 5.12% respectively.

*Distribution Rate (annualized) is calculated by taking the most recent distribution and multiplying it by 12 to get an annualized total and then dividing the total by the net asset value on the last business day of the month of the distribution. The Distribution Rate assumes the shareholder was a shareholder of record of the relevant Fund on each day during the month. The Fund declares dividends daily and pays such dividends monthly. Dividends are earned beginning on the business day after you purchased your shares through the business day you sell your shares. There is no assurance that the Fund will always be able to pay distributions of a particular size and past distributions are not indicative of future distributions. Distributions are historical, will fluctuate, including in response to tax requirements, and are not guaranteed. This data is provided for informational purposes only. The Distribution Rate represents a single distribution from the Fund and does not represent its total return.
