Reorganization of the AFBA Funds into The FBR Funds

On November 17, 2009, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved Agreements and Plans of Reorganization by and between The FBR Funds, a Delaware statutory trust, on behalf of its series, and the Trust, on behalf of its series (the “Reorganization Agreements”). The Reorganization Agreements contemplate the reorganization of the AFBA Funds (each, an “Acquired Fund”) into the FBR Balanced Fund, FBR Core Bond Fund, FBR Pegasus Fund, FBR Pegasus Mid Cap Fund, FBR Pegasus Small Cap Growth Fund and FBR Technology Fund (each, an “Acquiring Fund”), each a series of The FBR Funds.

The Reorganization Agreements will be submitted to a vote of the shareholders of each Acquired Fund, voting separately, at a meeting which is expected to be held in February 2010. If the Reorganization Agreements are approved by shareholders, and certain other conditions are satisfied, the assets and liabilities of each Acquired Fund will be transferred to the corresponding Acquiring Fund and the shareholders of each Acquired Fund will become shareholders of each corresponding Acquiring Fund and will receive shares of the corresponding share class of each Acquiring Fund as set forth below:

The current sub-advisers for the AFBA 5Star Balanced Fund and the AFBA 5Star Total Return Bond Fund will be retained as the sub-advisers for the FBR Balanced Fund and the FBR Core Bond Fund, respectively.

A combined proxy statement and prospectus with respect to the proposed reorganization will be mailed to shareholders in advance of the meeting. If the Reorganization Agreements are approved by shareholders, it is expected that the reorganization will occur in the first calendar quarter of 2010. The reorganization is intended to be tax-free under federal income tax laws. The reorganization may be terminated and abandoned, before or after shareholder approval, by action of the Board of Trustees.
