Investing in securities of companies that Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) believes are undervalued in the marketplace in relation to factors such as assets, sales, earnings, growth potential, or cash flow, or in relation to securities of other companies in the same industry (stocks of these companies are often called "value" stocks). Investing in domestic and foreign issuers. Using fundamental analysis of factors such as each issuer's financial condition and industry position, as well as market and economic conditions, to select investments. Effective December 11, 2025, normally investing at least 80% of assets in equity securities of value companies. Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Equity securities include common stocks (including depositary receipts evidencing ownership of common stock), preferred stocks and other preferred securities, convertible securities, rights and warrants, and other securities, such as hybrid securities and trust preferred securities, believed to have equity-like characteristics. Value companies are companies the Adviser believes are undervalued in the marketplace. The Adviser considers traditional and other measures of value, such as whether the company is included in a third-party value benchmark or classified as a value company by a third-party vendor, whether the company's free cash flow yield is above the equity market median, whether the company's enterprise value (the total value of a company's outstanding equity and debt) relative to earnings is below the equity market median, or whether the company's price-to-book (P/B) ratio or projected price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is below the equity market median. An issuer may be determined to be a value company under any of these factors. Derivative instruments that provide investment exposure to the investments above or exposure to one or more market risk factors associated with such investments are included in the fund's 80% policy, consistent with the fund's investment policies and limitations with respect to investments in derivatives. Proposed Reorganization. The Board of Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series I has unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization ("Agreement") between Fidelity Advisor Equity Value Fund and Fidelity Value Discovery Fund pursuant to which Fidelity Advisor Equity Value Fund would be reorganized on a tax-free basis with and into Fidelity Value Discovery Fund. As a result of the proposed Reorganization, shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Equity Value Fund would receive, respectively, corresponding shares of Fidelity Value Discovery Fund. The Agreement provides for the transfer of all of the assets of Fidelity Advisor Equity Value Fund in exchange for corresponding shares of Fidelity Value Discovery Fund equal in value to the net assets of Fidelity Advisor Equity Value Fund and the assumption by Fidelity Value Discovery Fund of all of the liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Equity Value Fund. After the exchange, Fidelity Advisor Equity Value Fund will distribute the Fidelity Value Discovery Fund shares to its shareholders pro rata, in liquidation of Fidelity Advisor Equity Value Fund. As a result, shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Equity Value Fund will become shareholders of Fidelity Value Discovery Fund (these transactions are collectively referred to as the "Reorganization"). A Special Meeting (the "Meeting") of the Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Equity Value Fund is expected to be held during the second quarter of 2025 and approval of the Agreement will be voted on at that time. A combined proxy statement and prospectus containing more information with respect to the Reorganization will be provided to shareholders of record of Fidelity Advisor Equity Value Fund in advance of the meeting. If the Agreement is approved at the Meeting and certain conditions required by the Agreement are satisfied, the Reorganization is expected to take place on or about June 6, 2025. If shareholder approval of the Agreement is delayed due to failure to meet a quorum or otherwise, the Reorganization will become effective, if approved, as soon as practicable thereafter. Effective after the close of business on the business day prior to the Reorganization, new positions in the fund may no longer be opened. Existing shareholders may continue to hold their shares and purchase additional shares through the reinvestment of dividend and capital gain distributions until the fund's Reorganization takes place. The foregoing is not a solicitation of any proxy. For a free copy of the Proxy Statement describing the Reorganization (and containing important information about fees, expenses and risk considerations) and a Prospectus for Fidelity Value Discovery Fund please call 1-800-544-8544. The prospectus/proxy statement will also be available for free on the Securities and Exchange Commission's web site (www.sec.gov).
