Mr. John Costello, Assistant Treasurer
Fidelity Magellan Fund (the Trust):
Fidelity Magellan Fund (the fund)
82 Devonshire Street
Boston, Massachusetts 02109
Dear Mr. Costello:
Fidelity Magellan Fund was a corporation organized under the laws
of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on December 31, 1962,
under the name of International Fund, Inc. The corporation's name
was changed to Magellan Fund, Inc. on March 30, 1965. On June
25, 1976, Essex Fund, Inc. was merged into Magellan Fund, Inc.
and on June 19, 1981, Salem Fund Inc. was also merged into this
entity. On June 24, 1981, the corporation's name was changed to
Fidelity Magellan Fund, Inc. On October 1, 1984, the entity's name
was changed to Fidelity Magellan Fund at the time of its
reorganization as a Massachusetts business Trust (the Trust) upon a
written Declaration of Trust dated June 25, 1984, executed and
delivered in Boston, Massachusetts on July 11, 1984. There have
been three supplements which amended the Declaration of Trust.
These supplements were filed with the Secretary of the
Commonwealth on January 18, 1985, April 27, 1987, and
November 16, 1989, respectively. An Amended and Restated
Declaration of Trust, dated April 15, 1994, was executed and
delivered in Boston, Massachusetts on May 18, 1994.
I have conducted such legal and factual inquiry as I have deemed
necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion.
Capitalized terms used herein, and not otherwise herein defined, are
used as defined in the Declaration of Trust.
Under Article III, Section 1, of the Declaration of Trust, the
beneficial interest in the Trust shall be divided into such transferable
Shares of one or more separate and distinct Series or classes as the
Trustees shall from time to time create and establish. The number
of Shares is unlimited and each Share shall be without par value and
shall be fully paid and non assessable. The Trustees shall have full
power and authority, in their sole discretion and without obtaining
any prior authorization or vote of the Shareholders or of any series
or class of Shareholders of the Trust to create and establish (and to
change in any manner) Shares or any series or classes thereof, with
such preferences, voting powers, rights, and privileges as the
Trustees may from time to time determine, to divide or combine the
Shares or any series or classes thereof, into a greater or lesser
number, to classify or reclassify any issued Shares into one or more
Series or classes of Shares, to abolish any one or more Series of
Shares, and to take such other action with respect to the Shares as
the Trustees may deem desirable.
Under Article III, Section 4, the Trustees shall accept investments
in the Trust from such persons and on such terms as they may from
time to time authorize. Such investments may be in the form of
cash or securities in which the appropriate Series is authorized to
invest, valued as provided in Article X, Section 3. After the date of
the initial contribution of capital, the number of Shares to represent
the initial contribution may in the Trustees' discretion be considered
as outstanding and the amount received by the Trustees on account
of the contribution shall be treated as an asset of the Trust.
Subsequent investments in the Trust shall be credited to each
Shareholder's account in the form of full Shares of the Trust at the
Net Asset Value per Share next determined after the investment is
received; provided, however, that the Trustees may, in their sole
discretion, (a) impose a sales charge upon investments in the Trust
and (b) issue fractional Shares.
By a vote adopted on October 1, 1984, and amended on February
22, 1985, the Board of Trustees authorized the issue and sale, from
time to time, of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest
of the Trust in accordance with the terms included in the current
Registration Statement and subject to the limitations of the
Declaration of Trust and any amendments thereto.
I understand from you that, pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, the Trust has registered an
indefinite amount of shares of beneficial interest under the
Securities Act of 1933. I further understand that, pursuant to the
provisions of Rule 24f-2, the Trust intends to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission a Notice making definite the
registration of 216,657,303 shares of the Trust (the "Shares") sold
in reliance upon Rule 24f-2 during the fiscal year ended March 31,
1996.
I am of the opinion that all necessary Trust action precedent to the
issue of Shares has been duly taken, and that all the Shares were
legally and validly issued, and are fully paid and non assessable,
except as described in the fund's Statement of Additional
Information under the heading "Shareholder and Trustee Liability."
In rendering this opinion, I rely on the representation by the Trust
that it or its agent received consideration for the Shares in
accordance with the Declaration of Trust and I express no opinion
as to compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, the Investment
Company Act of 1940 or applicable state "Blue Sky" or securities
laws in connection with sales of the Shares.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and
Exchange Commission in connection with a Rule 24f-2 Notice
which you are about to file under the 1940 Act with said
commission.
Sincerely,
/s/Judith R. Hogan
Judith R. Hogan
Associate General Counsel
