Exhibit 99.B(n)

 

SEI DAILY INCOME TRUST
FIFTH AMENDED AND RESTATED
RULE 18F-3
MULTIPLE CLASS PLAN (THE “PLAN”)
DATED DECEMBER 27, 2022

 

(ORIGINALLY ADOPTED DECEMBER 29, 1995)

 

Introduction

 

SEI Daily Income Trust (the “Trust”), a registered investment company that consists of separately managed Funds listed on Schedule A hereto (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”), have elected to rely on Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) in offering multiple classes of units of beneficial interest (“Shares”) in each Fund. The Plan sets forth the differences among classes, including shareholder services, distribution arrangements, expense allocations, and conversion or exchange options.

 

By way of background, the conversion of prior classes B, C, H and “Sweep” into Class A shares of the same funds was approved at a meeting of the Board of Trustees held in June 2015. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held in August 2015, the creation of a new class of shares, Class CAA, was approved by the Board, which included approval of the Third Amended and Restated Rule 18f-3 Multiple Class Plan. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held in October 2016, the Board approved the renaming of Class A Shares of the Funds to Class F Shares of the Funds, effective January 31, 2017, and authorized the officers of the Trust to take any necessary or appropriate action in furtherance thereof. The Fourth Amended and Restated Rule 18f-3 Multiple Class Plan differs from the Third Amended and Restated Rule 18f-3 Multiple Class Plan only with respect to the renamed Class F Shares and to reflect the current roster of Funds on Schedule A. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held in October 2022, the creation of a new class of shares was approved by the Board, which included approval of the Fifth Amended and Restated Rule 18f-3 Multiple Class Plan. As of January 17, 2023, Class F shares of the Government Fund are redesignated as Institutional Class Shares. 

 

A.Attributes of Share Classes

 

The rights of each existing class of the Funds shall be as set forth in the respective Certificate of Class Designation for the class (each a “Certificate”), attached hereto as an Exhibit.

 

With respect to any class of Shares of a Fund created after the date hereof, each Share of a Fund will represent an equal pro rata interest in the Fund and will have identical terms and conditions, except that: (i) each new class will have a different class name (or other designation) that identifies the class as separate from any other class; (ii) each class may have different investment eligibility criteria as set forth in each Certificate; (iii) each class will separately bear any distribution expenses (“distribution fees”) in connection with a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (a “Rule 12b-1 Plan”), and will separately bear any non-Rule 12b-1 Plan service payments (“service fees”) that are made under any servicing agreement entered into with respect to that class; (iv) each class may bear, consistent with rulings and other published statements of position by the Internal Revenue Service, the expenses of the Fund’s operations which are directly attributable to such class (“Class Expenses”); and (v) shareholders of the class will have exclusive voting rights regarding the Rule 12b-1 Plan and the servicing agreements relating to such class, and will have separate voting rights on any matter submitted to shareholders in which the interests of that class differ from the interests of any other class.

 

B.Expense Allocations

 

With respect to each Fund, expenses of each existing class and of each class created after the date hereof shall be allocated as follows: (i) distribution and shareholder servicing payments associated with any Rule 12b-1 Plan or servicing agreement relating to each class of Shares are (or will be) borne exclusively by that class; (ii) any incremental transfer agency fees relating to a particular class are (or will be) borne exclusively by that class; and (iii) Class Expenses relating to a particular class are (or will be) borne exclusively by that class.

 

Non-class specific expenses shall be allocated in accordance with Rule 18f-3(c).

 

 

 

 

C.Amendment of Plan; Periodic Review

 

This Plan must be amended to properly describe (through additional exhibits hereto or otherwise) each new class of Shares approved by the Board of Trustees after the date hereof.

 

The Board of the Trust, including a majority of the Trustees, who are not “interested persons” of the Trust as defined in the 1940 Act, must periodically review this Plan for its continued appropriateness, and must approve any material amendment of the Plan as it relates to any class of any Fund covered by the Plan.
