Current performance may be higher or lower than the quoted past performance, which cannot guarantee future results. Share price, principal value, and return will vary, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares. To obtain the most recent month-end performance, or to request a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus which includes investment objectives, risks, fees, expenses, and other information that you should read and consider carefully before investing, please call 1-855-405-6488 or visit our website at troweprice.com. Total return figures include changes in principal value, reinvested dividends, and capital gain distributions.All funds are subject to market risk, including possible loss of principal. Some income may be subject to state and local taxes and the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT). In addition to their sensitivity to interest rates, high yield bonds carry a significant level of credit risk.1 Expense ratios are based on the most recent fiscal year-end data available in the prospectus.

2 Duration is a calculation that seeks to measure the price sensitivity of a bond fund to changes in interest rates. In general, the longer the maturity or duration, the greater the fund’s sensitivity to interest rates. Duration is a better indicator of price sensitivity because it takes into account the time value of cash flows.

3 For bond funds, the 30-day SEC yield is computed under a SEC standardized formula and reflects an estimated yield to maturity (assuming all portfolio securities are held to maturity).

4 This gives you an idea of the yield that an investor in the 32% federal tax bracket would have to earn on a taxable security to equal the fund’s yield.

5 The 30-day SEC yield (unsubsidized) is the fund’s 30-day SEC yield without the impact of any fee/expense waivers.

* The Overall Morningstar Rating™ for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating™ metrics. The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or “star rating,” is calculated for funds with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar risk-adjusted return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star.
