Hello, my name is [STATE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME] and I
am calling from D.F. King & Co. on behalf of the [STATE
PIONEER FUND NAME] May I speak with Mr. /Mrs. /Ms.
[SHAREHOLDER'S LAST NAME]?

[IF THE SHAREHOLDER IS NOT AVAILABLE]

I am calling regarding The Annual Meeting of Shareholders
scheduled for September 18, 2012. May I leave a call back
number so that he/she may get more information regarding
the matter? Or is there a better time to reach him/her?

[ONCE SHAREHOLDER IS ON THE LINE]

Mr. /Mrs. /Ms. [SHAREHOLDER'S LAST NAME] my name is
[STATE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME] and I'm calling on a
recorded line regarding your investment in the [STATE
PIONEER FUND NAME]
Recently, you were mailed proxy materials, along with a
proxy card or voting instruction form to cast your vote
at the upcoming Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held
on September 18, 2012.  The tabulator for the Annual
Meeting has yet to receive your vote.  Your vote is very
important. In order to hold the shareholder meeting, the
Fund must obtain a minimum number of voted Fund positions
to achieve quorum. Your vote, regardless of how you cast
it, will help the Fund achieve that goal.


IF THEY DID NOT RECEIVE PROXY MATERIALS - Help the
shareholder obtain the materials he/she requires.  If a
NOBO, give him/her the 800 number and have them call
back when they receive the materials.  If registered,
we will send the materials directly.  In either case,
make sure the address is correct, make any necessary
corrections, and code the disposition as "14" or "15".


IF YES - The Board of Trustees has approved the proposal
and is recommending a vote in favor of the proposal.
Would you like to vote your shares as recommended by the
Board on the proposal?
Just to confirm, you have voted with the recommendation
of the Board on the proposal.  Is that correct?

IF YES - Thank you.  I've recorded your vote as
recommended by the Board in favor of the proposal.
We'll send a written confirmation of this vote to you at
your address of record which will also provide
instructions should you later decide to change your vote.
For confirmation purposes, please tell me your full name
and address, including city, state and zip code.

If the shareholder's name and address are correct:
Thank you for your time and your vote Mr. /Mrs. /Ms.
[SHAREHOLDER'S LAST NAME].  Have a good
[DAY/AFTERNOON/EVENING]. END CALL.
If the shareholder's name and address are NOT correct:
Mr./Mrs./Ms.[SHAREHOLDER'S LAST NAME] the information
that you just recited for me doesn't match our records
and, therefore, I can't take your vote by telephone.
Instead, I urge you to complete, sign, date and return
your proxy card or voting instruction form at your
earliest convenience, or vote your shares by touch-tone
telephone or on the Internet by following the
instructions provided on your proxy card or voting
instruction form.  Thank you for your time and have a
good [DAY/AFTERNOON/EVENING]. END CALL.

IF NO - [REFER TO APPROPRIATE REBUTTAL AND CONCLUDE BY
ASKING IF UPON REFLECTION THE SHAREHOLDER WOULD LIKE YOU
TO RECORD A VOTE CONSISTENT WITH THE BOARD'S
RECOMMENDATION ON THE PROPOSAL.]


IF YES - Thank you.  I've recorded your vote as
recommended by the Board on the proposal.  We'll send a
written confirmation of this vote to you at your address
of record which will also provide instructions should
you later decide to change your vote.  For confirmation
purposes, please tell me your full name and address,
including city, state and zip code.

IF STILL NO - Okay, I can still help.  Would you like
to vote your shares contrary to the recommendation of
the Board and against the proposal?
