Any discussion below and in the Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement relating to insurance companies and proportional voting applies only with respect to the BB&T Large Cap Growth VIF, not the BB&T Large Cap Growth Fund. The document you hold in your hands contains your Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement and proxy card or voting instruction form. A proxy card is, in essence, a ballot. A voting instruction form tells your insurance company how to vote on your behalf with respect to the BB&T Large Cap Growth VIF. When you vote your proxy or complete your voting instruction form, you tell us how to vote on your behalf on important issues relating to your Fund. If you simply sign the proxy card or voting instruction form without specifying a vote, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Boards of Trustees of BB&T Funds and BB&T Variable Insurance Funds, as applicable (collectively, the "Board" or "Trustees"). If you do not return your voting instruction form or record your voting instructions by telephone or through the Internet with respect to the BB&T Large Cap Growth VIF, your insurance company will vote your shares in the same proportion as shares for which instructions have been received. We urge you to spend a few minutes with the Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement, fill out your proxy card or voting instruction form, and return it (or vote by telephone or the Internet). By voting your proxy or completing your voting instruction form, and doing so promptly, you enable BB&T Funds and BB&T Variable Insurance Funds to avoid conducting additional mailings. Please take a few moments to exercise your right to vote. Thank you. BB&T FUNDS ---------- BB&T LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND BB&T LARGE CAP FUND BB&T VARIABLE INSURANCE FUNDS ----------------------------- BB&T LARGE CAP GROWTH VIF BB&T LARGE CAP VIF 3435 STELZER ROAD COLUMBUS, OHIO 43219 DECEMBER 15, 2006 Dear Investors: Enclosed you will find several documents being provided to you in connection with a joint special meeting of the shareholders of the BB&T Large Cap Growth Fund and BB&T Large Cap Growth VIF to be held January 24, 2007 at 9:00 a.m. at the offices of BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc., 100 Summer Street, Suite 1500, Boston, MA 02110. We hope this material will receive your immediate attention and that, if you cannot attend the meeting in person, you will vote your proxy or complete your voting instruction form promptly. The Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement constitutes the Proxy Statement of BB&T Funds for the meeting of shareholders of the BB&T Large Cap Growth Fund (the "Large Cap Growth Fund") and of BB&T Variable Insurance Funds for the meeting of the shareholders of the BB&T Large Cap Growth VIF (the "Large Cap Growth VIF"). It also constitutes the Prospectus of (i) the BB&T Large Cap Fund (the "Large Cap Fund") which is to issue units of beneficial interest ("Shares") to be distributed to each of the Large Cap Growth Fund shareholders in connection with the proposed reorganization of the Large Cap Growth Fund with and into the Large Cap Fund, and (ii) the BB&T Large Cap VIF (the "Large Cap VIF") Shares to be distributed to each of the Large Cap Growth VIF shareholders in connection with the proposed reorganization of the Large Cap Growth VIF with and into the Large Cap VIF. The Board of Trustees of BB&T Funds (the "BB&T Trustees") is recommending that shareholders of the Large Cap Growth Fund approve a reorganization in which the Large Cap Growth Fund will transfer all of its assets to the Large Cap Fund in return for Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C Shares of the Large Cap Fund. At the same time, the Large Cap Fund will assume all of the liabilities of the Large Cap Growth Fund. After the transfer, it is intended that Shares of the Large Cap Fund will be distributed to the shareholders of the Large Cap Growth Fund tax-free in liquidation of the Large Cap Growth Fund. As a result of these transactions, it is expected that Shares of the Large Cap Growth Fund will, in effect, be exchanged at net asset value and on a tax-free basis for Shares of the Large Cap Fund. Shareholders of the Large Cap Growth Fund holding Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C Shares, will receive Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C Shares, respectively, of the Large Cap Fund. The Board of Trustees of BB&T Variable Insurance Funds (the "VIF Trustees," and together with the BB&T Trustees, the "Trustees") is recommending that shareholders of the Large Cap Growth VIF approve a reorganization in which the Large Cap Growth VIF will transfer all of its assets to the Large Cap VIF in return for Shares of the Large Cap VIF. At the same time, the Large Cap VIF will assume all of the liabilities of the Large Cap Growth VIF. After the transfer, it is intended that Shares of the Large Cap VIF will be distributed to the shareholders of the Large Cap Growth VIF tax-free in liquidation of the Large Cap Growth VIF. As a result of these transactions, it is expected that Shares of the Large Cap Growth VIF will, in effect, be exchanged at net asset value and on a tax-free basis for Shares of the Large Cap VIF. These transactions will not result in recognition of any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. BB&T Asset Management, Inc., the investment advisor to the Acquired and Acquiring Funds (the "Funds"), has advised the Trustees that it believes that the above-described transactions offer the shareholders of the Large Cap Growth Fund and Large Cap Growth VIF, respectively, enhanced investment management efficiencies, greater market leverage and market presence, economies of scale, and greater opportunities for asset growth. The Trustees believe that the proposed combinations of the Large Cap Growth Fund with the Large Cap Fund and Large Cap Growth VIF and Large Cap VIF are in the best interests of each of the Large Cap Fund and the Large Cap Growth Fund and its shareholders and Large Cap VIF and Large Cap Growth VIF and its shareholders, respectively, and recommend that you vote in favor of each proposal. While you are, of course, welcome to join us at the Joint Special Meeting, most Shareholders cast their votes by filling out and signing the enclosed proxy card (or vote by telephone or the Internet). In order to conduct the Joint Special Meeting, a majority of shares must be represented either in person or by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Joint Special Meeting, we need your vote. Please mark, sign, and date the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form and return it promptly in the enclosed, postage-paid envelope so that the maximum number of shares may be voted (or vote by telephone or the Internet). The Notice of Joint Special Meeting of shareholders, the accompanying Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement, the form of proxy, and the form of voting instruction form are enclosed. Please read them carefully. If you are unable to attend the meeting in person, we urge you to sign, date, and return the proxy card (or vote by telephone or the Internet) so that your Shares may be voted in accordance with your instructions. SINCE THE MEETING IS LESS THAN SIX WEEKS AWAY, WE URGE YOU TO GIVE THE ENCLOSED MATERIAL YOUR PROMPT ATTENTION SO AS TO AVOID THE EXPENSE OF ADDITIONAL MAILINGS. Your vote is important to us. Thank you for taking the time to consider this important proposal. Sincerely yours, /s/ Keith F. Karlawish ---------------------------------------- Keith F.

To consider and act upon an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization providing for the transfer of all of the assets of the Acquired Fund to the corresponding Acquiring Fund, as listed below:
ACQUIRED FUND ACQUIRING FUND ------------- -------------- BB&T Large Cap Growth Fund BB&T Large Cap Fund BB&T Large Cap Growth VIF BB&T Large Cap VIF
in exchange for Shares of the Acquiring Fund and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund, followed by the dissolution and liquidation of the Acquired Fund and the distribution of Shares of the Acquiring Fund to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund. 2. To transact such other business as may properly come before the Joint Special Meeting or any adjournment thereof. The proposed Agreements and Plans Reorganization (the "Reorganization Plans") are described in the attached Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement. Copies of the Reorganization Plans are appended as Appendices A and B thereto. Pursuant to instructions of the Boards of Trustees of BB&T Funds and BB&T Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trustees"), the close of business on November 29, 2006, has been designated as the record date for determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Joint Special Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Shareholders and contract owners are requested to promptly vote by telephone or the Internet or to execute and return promptly in the enclosed envelope the accompanying proxy card or voting instruction form, as applicable, which is being solicited by BB&T Funds' and/or BB&T Variable Insurance Funds' Boards of Trustees. This is important to ensure a quorum at the special meeting. Proxies may be revoked at any time before they are exercised by submitting to BB&T Funds and/or BB&T Variable Insurance Funds a written notice of revocation or a subsequently executed proxy or by attending the Joint Special Meeting and voting in person. Contract owners should consult their insurance company regarding their ability to revoke voting instructions after such instructions have been provided to the insurance company. By Order of the Trustees /s/ James T. Gillespie ---------------------------------------- James T. Gillespie Secretary BB&T Funds BB&T Variable Insurance Funds Raleigh, North Carolina December 15, 2006 BB&T FUNDS BB&T VARIABLE INSURANCE FUNDS 3435 STELZER ROAD COLUMBUS, OHIO 43219 1-800-228-1872 December 15, 2006 COMBINED PROSPECTUS/PROXY STATEMENT This Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies from the holders of units of beneficial interest ("Shares") of BB&T Large Cap Growth Fund (the "Large Cap Growth Fund") and BB&T Large Cap Growth VIF (the "Large Cap Growth VIF," and together with the Large Cap Growth Fund, the "Acquired Funds") for use at a Joint Special Meeting of shareholders to approve the reorganization of the Large Cap Growth Fund with and into the BB&T Large Cap Fund (the "Large Cap Fund") and the reorganization of Large Cap Growth VIF with and into the BB&T Large Cap VIF (the "Large Cap VIF," and together with the Large Cap Fund, the "Acquiring Funds"). Acquired Fund shareholders of record on November 29, 2006 are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Joint Special Meeting. The reorganizations contemplate the transfer of all the assets and liabilities of each of the Acquired Funds to the corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange for Acquiring Fund Shares, followed by the dissolution and liquidation of the Acquired Funds, and the distribution of Acquiring Fund Shares to shareholders of the Acquired Funds (the "Transactions"). As a result of the Transactions, each shareholder of the Acquired Funds will receive a number of full and fractional Shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund equal in value at the date of the exchange to the net asset value of the Acquired Fund shares transferred by such shareholder to the corresponding Acquiring Fund. It is expected that the Transactions will not result in recognition of any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. However, the Transactions will end the tax year of the Acquired Funds, likely accelerating taxable distributions from the Acquired Funds to shareholders. Large Cap Growth Fund shareholders holding Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C Shares, will receive Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C Shares, respectively, of the Large Cap Fund. Shares of the Large Cap Growth VIF are available exclusively as a pooled funding vehicle for variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts (each a "Contract") offered by the separate accounts, or sub-accounts thereof, of certain life insurance companies ("Participating Insurance Companies"). The Participating Insurance Companies own shares of the Large Cap Growth VIF as depositors for the owners of their respective Contracts (each a "Contract Owner"). Thus, individual Contract Owners are not the "shareholders" of the Large Cap Growth VIF. Rather, the Participating Insurance Companies and their separate accounts are the shareholders. To the extent required to be consistent with the interpretations of voting requirements by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), each Participating Insurance Company will offer to Contract Owners the opportunity to instruct it as to how it should vote shares held by it and the separate accounts on the proposed merger. This Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement is, therefore, furnished to Contract Owners entitled to give voting instructions with regard to the Large Cap Growth VIF. All persons entitled to direct the voting of shares of the Large Cap Growth VIF, whether or not they are shareholders, are described as voting for purposes of this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement. This Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement, along with the Notice of a Joint Special Meeting of Shareholders and the proxy card or voting instruction form, is being mailed to shareholders and Contract Owners on or about December 19, 2006. It explains concisely what you should know before voting on the proposals described in this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement or investing in the Large Cap Growth VIF. Please read it carefully and keep it for future reference. The Large Cap Growth Fund and Large Cap Fund are portfolios ("series") of BB&T Funds, which is an open end management investment company consisting of 26 separate funds. The Large Cap Growth VIF and Large Cap VIF are portfolios ("series") of BB&T Variable Insurance Funds, which is an open end management investment company consisting of 6 separate funds. This Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement explains concisely what you should know before investing in the Acquiring Funds. Please read it carefully and keep it for future reference.

3 PROPOSAL (1) APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION At a meeting held on August 29, 2006, the Boards of Trustees of BB&T Funds and BB&T Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trustees") unanimously approved Agreements and Plans of Reorganization (each a "Reorganization Plan," collectively the "Reorganization Plans") pursuant to which each Acquired Fund would be merged with and into the corresponding acquiring Fund on or about January 29, 2007 (the "Exchange Date"). On the Exchange Date, each Acquired Fund will transfer all of its assets and liabilities to the corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange for Acquiring Fund Shares having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate value of the net assets acquired from the Acquired Fund. The assets and liabilities of the Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Funds (the "Funds") will be valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the business day preceding the Exchange Date. Following the transfer, each Acquired Fund will be dissolved and Shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund received by each Acquired Fund will be distributed to that Acquired Fund's shareholders in liquidation of such Acquired Fund. As a result of the proposed Transactions, shareholders of each Acquired Fund will receive a number of full and fractional Shares equal in value at the date of the exchange to the value of the net assets of such Acquired Fund transferred to the corresponding Acquiring Fund attributable to the shareholder (based on the proportion of the outstanding Shares of the Acquired Fund owned at the time by the shareholder). It is expected that the Transactions will not result in any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. However, the Transactions will end the tax year of the Acquired Funds, likely accelerating taxable distributions from the Acquired Funds to shareholders. All Large Cap Growth Fund shareholders will receive Shares of the BB&T class (Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C) that corresponds to the class of Large Cap Growth Fund Shares that they hold (Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C, respectively). For the reasons set forth below under "Reasons for the Proposed Transactions," the Trustees, including Trustees who are not "interested persons" of BB&T Funds and BB&T Variable Insurance Funds as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") (the "Independent Trustees"), unanimously concluded that participation in the proposed Transactions is in the best interests of each of the Acquiring Funds, the Acquired Funds and their respective existing shareholders. In reaching this conclusion, the Trustees considered, among other things: (1) the compatibility of the objectives, strategies, restrictions and investment portfolios of each Acquiring Fund with those of the corresponding Acquired Fund; (2) the qualifications and experience of BB&T Asset Management, Inc. and Ronald T. Rimkus, CFA, the portfolio manager for both the Acquiring Funds, and the performance history of the Acquired and Acquiring Funds; (3) the investment management efficiencies that may be gained and the potential economies of scale which could be realized; (4) the continuation of all shareholder services currently provided to shareholders of the Acquired Funds; (5) the projected expense ratios of each Acquiring Fund as compared to the corresponding Acquired Fund; (6) the lack of adequate shareholder demand and the failure to accumulate assets experienced by the Acquired Funds over the past 2 years; (7) the limited demand for Acquired Fund shares, indicating limited prospects for growth; (8) the fact that the Transactions will result in a better use of resources; (9) the fact that any merger expense will be borne by BB&T Asset Management, Inc.; (10) the fact that the Transactions are expected to not result in a recognition of any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes; 4 (11) the fact that the potential benefits of the Transactions, including reduced volatility, reduced transaction costs and with respect to the Large Cap Growth VIF/Large Cap VIF Transaction, reduced expenses, are expected to outweigh any negative potential direct or indirect consequences of the Transactions, including direct or indirect federal income tax consequences and additional brokerage costs, to the shareholders of both Acquired Funds; (12) the fact that the economic interests of shareholders of the Funds will not be diluted as a result of the proposed Transactions; and (13) the recommendation of BB&T Asset Management, Inc. in favor of the Transactions. Acquired Fund shareholders who do not wish to be reorganized into the respective Acquiring Fund and have their Acquired Fund shares exchanged for shares of the Acquiring Fund should redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the Transactions. If you redeem your shares you may recognize a taxable gain or loss based on the difference between your tax basis in the shares and the amount you receive for them. FEE TABLES Fee tables showing the current fees as of September 30, 2006 for the Large Cap Growth Fund and the Large Cap Fund, as well as the pro forma fees annualized after the reorganization and after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement, are below:

The following is a synopsis of certain information relating to the Transactions and is qualified by reference to the more complete information contained in this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement, the BB&T SAI, the VIF SAI, and the Appendices attached hereto. Key Features of Transaction. The shareholders of the Acquired Funds are being asked to approve or disapprove the Agreements and Plans of Reorganization adopted by the Trustees dated as of December 5, 2006 (the "Reorganization Plans"), copies of which are attached to this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement as Appendices A and B. The Reorganization Plans provide, among other things, for the transfer of all of the assets of each Acquired Fund into the corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange for the assumption by that Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund and for a number of Shares of the designated class, if applicable, calculated based on the value of the net assets of the corresponding Acquired Fund acquired by that Acquiring Fund and the net asset value per Share of the Acquiring Fund, all as more fully described below under "Information about the Transactions." After receipt of Shares, each Acquired Fund will dissolve, distributing the Shares to its shareholders in complete liquidation, and each Acquired Fund will be terminated. Prior to the date of such transfer (the "Exchange Date"), each Acquired Fund will declare a distribution to its shareholders which, together with all previous distributions, will have the effect of distributing to its shareholders all of its investment company taxable income (computed without regard to the deduction for dividends paid), if any, and net realized capital gains, if any, through the Exchange Date. At a meeting held on August 29, 2006, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, voted unanimously to approve the Transactions and to recommend that shareholders of each Acquired Fund also approve the Transactions. Approval of each Reorganization Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast by the corresponding Acquired Fund. A shareholder of each Acquired Fund objecting to the proposed Transactions is not entitled under either Massachusetts law, BB&T Funds' Declaration of Trust or BB&T Variable Insurance Funds' Declaration of Trust to demand payment for or an appraisal of his or her particular Shares if the Transactions is consummated over his or her objection. However, Shares of each Acquired Fund are redeemable for cash at their net asset value on days on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading. If you redeem your Shares, you may recognize a taxable gain or loss based on the difference between your tax basis in the Shares and the amount you receive for them. In the event that this proposal is not approved by the shareholders of a Acquired Fund, such Acquired Fund will continue to be managed as a separate fund in accordance with its current investment objectives and policies, and the Trustees of the BB&T Funds and/or BB&T Variable Insurance Funds may consider alternatives in the best interests of the shareholders. Each Transaction is not contingent on the approval of the other Transaction. However, if approval of a Reorganization Plan is obtained, the reorganization of the corresponding Acquired Fund will be consummated. Comparison. Below is a brief comparison of the principal investment objectives and strategies of the Large Cap Growth Fund to the Large Cap Fund and the Large Cap Growth VIF and the Large Cap VIF. The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by the disclosure on such subjects contained in this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement, the BB&T SAI and the VIF SAI.

Distribution, Purchase and Redemption Procedures and Exchange Rights. Distribution, purchase and redemption procedures and exchange rights are identical for each Acquired Fund and corresponding Acquiring Fund. Federal Tax Considerations. For federal income tax purposes, it is intended that each Transaction will qualify as a tax-free reorganization. Accordingly, the Transactions are expected not to result in the recognition of gain or loss for federal income tax purposes for any of the Funds or the shareholders of any Fund, and the aggregate tax basis of the Acquiring Fund shares received by a shareholder of an Acquired Fund are expected 9 to equal the aggregate tax basis of that shareholder's Acquired Fund shares. At any time prior to the consummation of the Transactions, a shareholder may redeem shares, likely resulting in recognition of gain or loss to such shareholder for federal income tax purposes. However, since the Transactions will end the tax year of each Acquired Fund, it may accelerate distributions from the Acquired Funds to shareholders. Specifically, each Acquired Fund will recognize any net investment company taxable income, any net tax-exempt investment income and any net capital gains, including those realized on disposition of portfolio securities in connection with the Transactions (after reduction by any available capital loss carryforwards) or net capital losses in the short tax year ending on the date of the reorganization, and will declare and pay a distribution of such income and any such net capital gains remaining after reduction by any available capital loss carryforwards to its shareholders on or before that date. A substantial portion of the portfolio assets of each Acquired Fund may be sold in connection with the Transactions. The actual tax impact of such sales will depend on the difference between the price at which such portfolio assets are sold and such Acquired Fund's basis in such assets. Any capital gains recognized in these sales, if any, will be distributed to such Acquired Fund's shareholders as capital gain dividends (to the extent of net realized long-term capital gains distributed) and/or ordinary dividends (to the extent of net realized short-term capital gains distributed) during or with respect to the year of sale, and such distributions in general will be taxable to shareholders. With regard to the Large Cap Growth VIF, as long as contracts funded through the separate accounts of the insurance company shareholder qualify as annuity contracts or life insurance contracts under Section 72 or Section 7702(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Transactions will not create any tax liability for contract owners. The cost basis and holding period of shares in each Acquired Fund are expected to carry over to new shares in the respective Acquiring Fund. For more information about the federal income tax consequences of the Transactions, see "Information About the Transactions -- Federal Income Tax Consequences" below. 10 PRINCIPAL RISK FACTORS

Also, the Fund's investments may expose it to credit risk, which is the risk that the issuer of a security will default or not be able to meet its financial obligations.
As shown in the table above, the principal risks of each Acquired Fund and the corresponding Acquiring Fund are similar, except that the Acquired Funds invest in large cap growth stocks and are subject to the additional risk that the market may not favor large cap growth stocks. The Acquiring Funds have the ability to invest in large cap stocks, including both large cap growth and large cap value stocks, allowing them to respond to market changes. 11 INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRANSACTIONS Reorganization Plan; Securities. The proposed Reorganization Plans provide that the Acquiring Funds will acquire all of the assets of the Acquired Funds in exchange for the assumption by the Acquiring Funds of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Funds, and for Shares, all as of the Exchange Date (defined in the Reorganization Plans to be on or about January 29, 2007, or such other date as determined by the Trustees.) The following discussion of the Reorganization Plans is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Reorganization Plans, which is attached as Appendices A and B to this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement. As a result of the Transactions, each shareholder of an Acquired Fund will receive that number of full and fractional Shares equal in value at the Exchange Date to the value of the portion of the net assets of the Acquired Fund transferred to the corresponding Acquiring Fund attributable to the shareholder (based on the proportion of the outstanding Shares of that Acquired Fund owned by the shareholder as of the valuation time). The portfolio securities of each Acquired Fund will be valued in accordance with the generally employed valuation procedures of BB&T Funds and BB&T Variable Insurance Funds, as applicable. The reorganizations are being accounted for as tax-free business combinations. At a meeting held on August 29, 2006, all of the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined that the reorganizations would be in the best interests of the Funds and existing shareholders, and that the economic interests of their existing shareholders would not be diluted as a result of effecting the reorganizations. Immediately following the Exchange Date, each Acquired Fund will distribute pro rata to its shareholders of record as of the close of business on the Exchange Date the full and fractional Shares received by it, and the Acquired Fund will be liquidated and dissolved. Such liquidation and distribution will be accomplished by the establishment of accounts on the Share records of the corresponding Acquiring Fund in the name of the Acquired Fund's shareholders, each account representing the corresponding number of full and fractional Shares due such shareholder. All Large Cap Growth Fund shareholders will receive Shares of the BB&T class (Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C) that corresponds to the class of the Large Cap Growth Fund that they hold (Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C, respectively). The consummation of the Transactions is subject to the conditions set forth in the Reorganization Plans. The Reorganization Plans may be terminated and the Transactions abandoned at any time, before or after approval by the shareholders, prior to the Exchange Date by consent of BB&T Funds or BB&T Variable Insurance Funds or, if any condition set forth in the Reorganization Plans has not been fulfilled and has not been waived by the party entitled to its benefits, by such party. If the Transactions are approved, Acquired Fund shareholders who do not wish to have their Acquired Fund Shares exchanged for Shares of the Acquiring Fund should redeem their shares prior to consummation of the Transactions. If you redeem your Shares you may recognize a taxable gain or loss based on the difference between your tax basis in the shares and the amount you received for them. All fees and expenses incurred by the Funds as a direct result of the Transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Plans, will be borne by BB&T Asset Management, Inc., including the costs of proxy materials, proxy solicitations and legal expenses. Aggregate costs of the Transactions are estimated to range between $150,000 and $225,000. Fees and expenses not incurred directly in connection with the consummation of the Transactions will be paid by the party directly incurring such expenses, and such fees and expenses will be paid by the party directly incurring such expenses if and to the extent that payment by the other party would result in the disqualification of any Fund, as the case may be, as a "regulated investment company" within the meaning of Section 851 of the Code. The Board has determined that the interests of the existing shareholders of the Funds will not be diluted as a result of the Transactions. Full and fractional Shares will be issued to each Acquired Fund's shareholders in accordance with the procedure under the Reorganization Plans as described above. Each Acquiring Fund Share will be fully paid and nonassessable when issued, will be transferable without restriction, and will have no preemptive or conversion rights. 12 BB&T Funds' Declaration of Trust permits BB&T Funds to divide its Shares of any series, without shareholder approval, into one or more classes of Shares having such variations as to dividend, redemption, and voting rights, net asset values, expenses borne by the classes, and other matters as the Trustees have authorized, provided that each Share of a class shall represent an equal proportionate interest in the assets and liabilities of the class with each other Share of the same class, none having priority or preference over another. Shares of certain of the BB&T Funds are currently divided into four classes: Class A, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Shares. Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C Shares will be distributed as applicable by BB&T Funds in connection with the Large Cap Fund/Large Cap Growth Fund Transaction. Upon consummation of the Large Cap Fund/Large Cap Growth Fund Transaction, Large Cap Growth Fund shareholders holding Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C Shares, will receive Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C Shares, respectively, of the Large Cap Fund. Under Massachusetts law, BB&T Funds' and BB&T Variable Insurance Funds' shareholders, could, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of BB&T Funds and BB&T Variable Insurance Funds, respectively. However, the Declarations of Trust disclaim shareholder liability for acts or obligations of BB&T Funds and BB&T Variable Insurance Funds. The Declarations of Trust provide for indemnification out of BB&T Funds or BB&T Variable Insurance Funds property for all loss and expense of any shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of BB&T Funds or BB&T Variable Insurance Funds. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which BB&T Funds or BB&T Variable Insurance Funds would be unable to meet its obligations. The likelihood of such circumstances is remote. Reasons For The Proposed Transactions. A meeting was held on August 29, 2006, for the BB&T Funds' and BB&T Variable Insurance Funds' Trustees, at which meeting all of the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined that the Transactions would be in the best interests of existing shareholders of the Funds. The Trustees also unanimously determined that the economic interests of such shareholders would not be diluted as a result of effecting the Transactions. At this same meeting, all of the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously adopted the Reorganization Plans and recommended approval of the Transactions. In electing to approve each reorganization and recommend it to shareholders of the applicable Acquired Fund, the Trustees acted upon information provided to them, indicating that the proposed Transactions would operate in the best interests of the Funds' shareholders. In particular, the Trustees considered the following details: (1) The compatibility of the objectives, strategies, restrictions and investment portfolios of each Acquiring Fund with those of the corresponding Acquired Fund. As discussed under the "Synopsis," each Acquired Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund have substantially similar fundamental investment objectives. The Trustees considered that, over time, the Acquiring Funds' flexibility to invest in either value or growth stocks, depending upon prevailing market conditions, may provide greater value to shareholders of each Acquired Fund. The Acquired Funds and Acquiring Funds also share similar investment strategies. While both of the Acquiring Funds invest generally in large capitalization stocks, each of the Acquired Funds focuses on large capitalization "growth" stocks. The Trustees considered the overlap in the portfolio compositions of the Acquired Funds and Acquiring Funds. BB&T Asset Management, Inc. advised the Trustees and the Trustees came to the conclusion that the objectives, strategies, restrictions and investment portfolios of each Acquiring Fund are compatible with those of the corresponding Acquired Fund. (2) The qualifications and experience of BB&T Asset Management, Inc. and Ronald T. Rimkus, CFA, the portfolio manager for both the Acquiring Funds, and the performance history of the Acquired and Acquiring Funds. The proposed Transactions will allow investment management to remain in the current investment adviser, BB&T Asset Management, Inc., under the direction of Ronald T. Rimkus, CFA, who currently 13 manages the Acquiring Funds. The Trustees considered the benefits that this arrangement will provide to shareholders of the Acquired Funds, including Mr. Rimkus's expertise. Ronald T. Rimkus, CFA, has been primarily responsible for the management of the Acquiring Funds since March 2006. Mr. Rimkus joined BB&T Asset Management, Inc. in January 2006 as the Director of Core Equity. From 2000 to 2006, Mr. Rimkus managed a large cap core equity product for Mesirow Financial, Inc. The Trustees reviewed and compared the performance history of the Acquiring Funds and the Acquired Funds. The performance history of each Acquiring Fund generally compares favorably to the performance history of the corresponding Acquired Fund. (3) The investment management efficiencies that may be gained and the potential economies of scale which could be realized. (4) The continuation of all shareholder services currently provided to shareholders of the Acquired Funds. (5) The projected expense ratios of each Acquired Fund as compared to the corresponding Acquired Fund. The Trustees determined that the Large Cap Growth Fund shareholders will be subject to the same expenses after the Transaction, and the Large Cap Growth VIF shareholders will benefit from the lower expense ratio of the Large Cap VIF. (6) The Trustees considered the lack of adequate shareholder demand and the failure to accumulate assets of each Acquired Fund, while considering the investment similarities among the Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Funds. Over the past two (2) years, net assets of the Large Cap Growth Fund have declined from $359 million on July 31 2004 to $343 million on July 31, 2006, while net assets of the Large Cap Growth VIF have remained fairly constant from $22 million on July 31, 2004 to $23 million on July 31, 2006. The merger is expected to result in greater investment leverage and market presence for the Acquiring Funds. In addition, former Acquired Fund shareholders would benefit from the resulting economies of scale attributable to the larger asset size of the Acquiring Funds. (7) The limited demand for Acquired Fund shares, indicating limited prospects for growth. (8) The fact that the Transactions will result in a better use of resources. (9) The fact that any merger expense will be borne by BB&T Asset Management, Inc. The fees and expenses incurred directly in connection with the consummation of the Transactions that relate to the merger will be borne by BB&T Asset Management, Inc. (10) The fact that the Transactions are expected to not result in the recognition of any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. The BB&T Funds' and BB&T Variable Insurance Funds' Trustees were informed that the proposed Transactions involving the Acquiring Funds would occur only if it could be accomplished without resulting in the imposition of federal income taxes on any of the Funds or any of their shareholders as a direct result of the Transactions. (11) The fact that the potential benefits of the Transactions will outweigh any negative potential direct or indirect consequences of the Transactions to the shareholders of the Acquired Funds. The BB&T Funds' and BB&T Variable Insurance Funds' Trustees considered the potentially negative consequences of the Transactions on the former shareholders of the Acquired Funds, as described below. 14 The Board determined that the potential benefits to be gained from the proposed Transactions, outweigh the potentially negative direct or indirect consequences of the Transactions on the former shareholders of the Acquired Funds. Benefits include reduced volatility, reduced or consistent expenses and reduced transaction costs, anticipated economies of scale from increased assets, potential for greater diversification based on broader investment strategy, a solid performance record, and the potential for greater growth through the sale of fund shares. Among potential negative direct or indirect consequences is the potential loss of net capital loss carryforwards by each Acquired Fund and additional brokerage costs associated with portfolio assets of the Acquired Funds being sold in connection with the Transactions. See "Federal Income Tax Consequences" for additional information. (12) The fact that the economic interests of shareholders of each of the Funds will not be diluted as a result of the proposed Transactions. The BB&T Funds' and BB&T Variable Insurance Funds' Trustees were informed that the interests of each Fund's shareholders would not be diluted as a result of the proposed Transactions, and that each Acquired Fund's shareholders would receive, in the aggregate, Shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund equal in value to the market value of the assets of the Acquired Fund. (13) The recommendation of BB&T Asset Management, Inc. in favor of the Transactions. Federal Income Tax Consequences. The Transactions are intended to be tax- free reorganizations. As a condition to the relevant Funds' obligations to consummate the applicable Transaction, BB&T Funds or BB&T Variable Insurance Funds (as applicable), on behalf of such Funds, will receive an opinion, in a form reasonably acceptable to such Funds, in respect of such Transaction from Ropes & Gray LLP, counsel to BB&T Funds and BB&T Variable Insurance Funds, to the effect that, although not free from doubt, on the basis of the existing provisions of the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, current administrative rules, and court decisions, generally for federal income tax purposes, except as noted below: (i) such Transaction will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund will each be a "party to a reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code; (ii) under Section 1032 of the Code no gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Fund upon the receipt of the assets of the Acquired Fund in exchange for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund; (iii) under Section 362(b) of the Code the basis in the hands of the Acquiring Fund of the assets of the Acquired Fund transferred to the Acquiring Fund in the Transaction will be the same as the basis of such assets in the hands of the Acquired Fund immediately prior to the transfer; (iv) under Section 1223(2) of the Code the holding periods of the assets of the Acquired Fund in the hands of the Acquiring Fund will include the periods during which such assets were held by the Acquired Fund; (v) under Section 361 of the Code no gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquired Fund upon the transfer of the Acquired Fund's assets to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund, or upon the distribution of Acquiring Fund Shares by the Acquired Fund to its shareholders in liquidation; (vi) under Section 354 of the Code no gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquired Fund's shareholders upon the exchange of their Shares for Acquiring Fund Shares; (vii) under Section 358 of the Code, the aggregate basis of Acquiring Fund Shares an Acquired Fund shareholder receives in connection with the Transaction will be the same as the aggregate basis of his or her Acquired Fund Shares exchanged therefor; (viii) under Section 1223(1) of the Code, an Acquired Fund shareholder's holding period for his or her Acquiring Fund Shares will be determined by including the period for which he or she held the Acquired Fund Shares exchanged therefor, provided that he or she held such Acquired Fund Shares as capital assets; and (ix) the Acquiring Fund will succeed to, and take into account the items of the Acquired Funds described in Section 381(c) of the Code, subject to the conditions and limitations specified in Sections 381, 382, 383 and 384 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Ropes & Gray LLP will express no view with respect to the effect of the Transactions on any transferred asset as to which any unrealized gain or loss is required to be recognized at the end of a taxable year (or on the termination or transfer thereof) under federal income tax principles. 15 The opinion will be based on certain factual certifications and representations made by the officers of the Funds and will also be based on customary assumptions. The opinion is not a guarantee that the tax consequences of the Transactions will be as described above. It is possible that each Acquiring Fund's ability to utilize either its own or the corresponding Acquired Fund's pre-Transaction losses to offset the post- Transaction gains of the combined fund will be limited as a result of the Transaction due to the application of loss limitation rules under federal tax law. In addition, for five years beginning after the closing date, the combined fund will not be allowed to offset gains "built in" to either the Acquired or Acquiring Fund at the time of the Transaction against capital losses (including capital loss carryforwards) built in to the other Fund. As a result of these limitations, under certain circumstances the shareholders of either the Acquired or Acquiring Fund could receive distributions that are taxable in the hands of taxable shareholders earlier than they would if the Transaction were not to have occurred. The effect of these limitations, however, will depend on the amount of losses in each Fund at the time of the Transaction, and, in any event, these limitations will only affect taxable shareholders. Because the shareholders of the Large Cap Growth VIF and the Large Cap VIF are Participating Insurance Companies and their separate accounts (which are not taxable shareholders), the impact (if any) of these loss limitation rules in connection with the reorganization of the Large Cap Growth VIF with and into the Large Cap VIF will be generally inconsequential to shareholders. If the reorganization of the Large Cap Growth Fund with and into the Large Cap Fund were to have taken place on September 30, 2006, the combined fund's use of the pre-Transaction losses (including capital loss carryforwards) of the Large Cap Growth Fund and the Large Cap Fund would not have been limited by the above- described rules. However, because, as a result of the Transaction, the shareholders of the Large Cap Growth Fund will receive Shares of the combined fund, such shareholders will be allocated a proportionate share of any built-in gains in the Large Cap Fund's assets, as well as any taxable gains realized by the Large Cap Fund but not distributed to its shareholders prior to the Transaction. Accordingly, distributions to shareholders' of the Large Cap Growth Fund may be increased or accelerated as a result of the Transaction. If the Transaction were to have taken place on September 30, 2006, the combined fund would have had higher built-in gains as a percentage of net assets than the Large Cap Growth Fund prior to the Transaction because as of that date the Large Cap Fund had higher built-in gains as a percentage of net assets than the Large Cap Growth Fund. A substantial portion of the portfolio assets of the Acquired Funds may be sold in connection with the Transactions. The actual tax impact of such sales will depend on the difference between the price at which such portfolio assets are sold and that Acquired Fund's basis in such assets. Any net capital gains recognized in these sales will be distributed to such Acquired Fund's shareholders as capital gain dividends (to the extent of net realized long-term capital gains) and/or ordinary dividends (to the extent of net realized short- term capital gains) during or with respect to the year of sale, and such distributions will be taxable to shareholders. At or before the closing of the Transactions, each Acquired Fund will, and each Acquiring Fund may, declare a distribution to shareholders, which together with all previous distributions, will have the effect of distributing to shareholders all of its investment company taxable income (computed without regard to the deduction for dividends paid) and net capital gains, including those realized on disposition of portfolio securities in connection with the Transactions (after reduction by any available capital loss carryforwards), if any, through the closing of the Transactions. Such distributions will be taxable to shareholders. With regard to the Large Cap Growth VIF, as long as contracts funded through the separate accounts of the insurance company qualify as annuity contracts shareholder or life insurance contracts under Section 72 or Section 7702(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Transactions will not create any tax liability for contract owners. This description of the federal income tax consequences of the Transactions is made without regard to the particular facts and circumstances of any shareholder. Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the specific consequences to them of the Transactions, including the applicability and effect of state, local, non-U.S. and other tax laws. 16 Voting Rights. Each shareholder of the Acquired Funds is entitled to one vote per Share and a proportionate fractional vote for any fractional Share. The former shareholders of the Large Cap Growth Fund, as holders of Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C Shares of the Large Cap Fund, will vote separately as a fund or a class on matters relating solely to that fund or class. On all other matters, they will vote in the aggregate with shareholders of the Large Cap Fund. The former shareholders of the Large Cap Growth VIF, as holders of Shares of the Large Cap VIF, will vote separately as a fund on matters relating solely to that fund. On all other matters, they will vote in the aggregate with shareholders of the Large Cap VIF. As shareholders of the considerably larger Acquiring Funds following the Transactions, the former shareholders of the Acquired Funds will possess less proportional voting power when they vote separately as Acquiring Fund shareholders, or shareholders of the classes thereof, than they had when they voted separately as shareholders of the smaller Acquired Fund.

VOTING INFORMATION Proxies are being solicited from shareholders of the Large Cap Growth Fund by the Trustees of BB&T Funds and the Large Cap Growth VIF by the Trustees of BB&T Variable Insurance Funds for the Joint Special Meeting of shareholders to be held on January 24, 2007, at the offices of BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc., 100 Summer Street, Suite 1500, Boston, MA 02110 at 9:00 a.m., Eastern time, or at such later time made necessary by adjournment. This Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement and the enclosed form of proxy or voting instruction form are being mailed to shareholders and contract owners on or about December 19, 2006. The costs of the proxy materials and proxy solicitations will be borne by BB&T Asset Management, Inc. A proxy may be revoked at any time at or before the meeting by submitting to BB&T Funds or BB&T Variable Insurance Funds a subsequently dated proxy, delivering a written notice of revocation to BB&T Funds or BB&T Variable Insurance Funds at 3435 Stelzer Road, Columbus, Ohio 43219 or as otherwise described in the "Introduction" above. All properly executed proxies received in time for the Meeting will be voted as specified in the proxy, or, if no specification is made, FOR the proposals set forth in Proposals 1 and 2 of the Notice of Joint Special Meeting to implement the reorganizations of the Acquired Funds by the transfer of all of its assets to the Acquiring Funds, in exchange for Shares of the Acquiring Funds and the assumption by the Acquiring Funds of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Funds followed by the dissolution and liquidation of the Acquired Funds and the distribution of Shares to the shareholders of the Acquired Funds. All Large Cap Growth Fund shareholders will receive Shares of the BB&T Class (Institutional, Class A, Class B, or Class C) that corresponds to the Class of each of Large Cap Growth Fund Shares that they hold (Institutional, Class A, Class B, or Class C, respectively). Each Transaction contemplated by the Reorganization Plans will be consummated only if: (1) a quorum is present (except as otherwise provided by law, to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at a shareholders' meeting, there must be present, in person or by proxy, holders of a majority of the total number of shares of an Acquired Fund then outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting); (2) approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast by each Acquired Fund voting as a fund, as described below; and (3) the other closing conditions set forth in each Reorganization Plan are satisfied. In the event the shareholders do not approve one or both of the Transactions, the Trustees of BB&T Funds and/or BB&T Variable Insurance Funds will consider possible alternative arrangements in the best interests of BB&T Funds and/or BB&T Variable Insurance Funds and their shareholders. Each Transaction is not contingent on the approval of the other Transaction. Proxies are being solicited by mail. Shareholders of record of each Acquired Fund at the close of business on November 29, 2006, (the "Record Date"), will be entitled to vote at the Joint Special Meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof. Each Share is entitled to one vote as of the close of business on November 29, 2006. Approval of Proposal 1 requires the affirmative vote of the lesser of: (a) 67% or more of the outstanding shares of the Acquired Fund present at the Joint Special Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present or represented by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Acquired Fund. As discussed above, Shares of the Large Cap Growth VIF are offered only to Participating Insurance Companies to fund benefits under their Contracts. Accordingly, as of the close of business on November 29, 2006, Shares of the Large Cap Growth VIF were held by separate accounts, or sub-accounts thereof, of various Participating Insurance Companies. These Shares are owned by the Participating Insurance Companies as depositors for their respective Contracts issued to individual Contract Owners or to a group (e.g., a defined benefit plan) in which Contract Owners participate. Contract Owners have the right to instruct the Participating Insurance Companies on how to vote the Shares related to their interests through their Contracts (i.e., pass-through voting). A Participating Insurance Company must vote the Shares of the Large Cap Growth VIF held in its name as directed. In the absence of voting directions on any voting instruction form that is signed and returned, the 25 Participating Insurance Company will vote the interest represented thereby in favor of a Proposal. If a Participating Insurance Company does not receive voting instructions for all of the Shares of the Large Cap Growth VIF held under the Contracts, it will vote all of the Shares in the relevant separate accounts with respect to a Proposal, for, against, or abstaining, in the same proportion as the Shares of the Large Cap Growth VIF for which it has received instructions from Contract Owners (i.e., echo voting). Echo voting may lead to a small number of Contract Owners determining the outcome of the vote. This Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement is used to solicit voting instructions from Contract Owners, as well as to solicit proxies from the Participating Insurance Companies, the actual shareholders of the Large Cap Growth VIF. All persons entitled to direct the voting of Shares, whether or not they are shareholders, are described as voting for purposes of this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement. Contract Owners should consult their Participating Insurance Company regarding their ability to revoke voting instructions after such instructions have been provided to the Participating Insurance Company. As of November 29, 2006, there were outstanding the following amount of Shares of Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C Class of the Large Cap Growth Fund and Shares of the Large Cap Growth VIF: LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND: 15,665,940.899 Institutional Shares 983,770.741 Class A Shares 984,192.159 Class B Shares 4,459.924 Class C Shares LARGE CAP GROWTH VIF: 1,284,835.693 Shares
Votes cast by proxy, telephone, the Internet or in person at the meeting will be counted by the inspector of election appointed by BB&T Funds. The inspector of election will count the total number of votes cast "for" approval of the Proposal for purposes of determining whether sufficient affirmative votes have been cast. The inspector of election will count Shares represented by proxies that reflect abstentions as Shares that are present and entitled to vote on the matter for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum; however, the inspector of election will not count "broker non-votes" (i.e., Shares held by brokers or nominees as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or the persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have the discretionary voting power on a particular matter) as Shares that are present and entitled to vote on the matter for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. For purposes of determining whether an issue has been approved, abstentions have the effect of a negative vote on the proposal, and broker non-votes are treated as "against" votes in those instances where approval of an issue requires a certain percentage of all votes outstanding, but are given no effect in those instances where approval of an issue requires a certain percentage of the votes constituting the quorum for such issue. BB&T Funds' and BB&T Variable Insurance Funds' Trustees know of no matters other than those set forth herein to be brought before the meeting. If, however, any other matters properly come before the meeting, it is the Trustees' intention that proxies will be voted on such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy. As of November 29, 2006, the officers and Trustees of BB&T Funds as a group beneficially owned less than 1% of the outstanding Shares of Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C Shares of any of the BB&T Funds. As of November 29, 2006, the officers and Trustees of BB&T Variable Insurance Funds as a group beneficially owned less than 1% of the outstanding Shares of any of the BB&T Variable Insurance Funds. The information in the following table shows, to the best of the knowledge of BB&T Funds and BB&T Variable Insurance Funds, the shareholders who owned of record or beneficially 5% or more of the indicated Fund and Class, if applicable. The table also shows, as far as practicable, the percentage of record and beneficial ownership of these same shareholders upon consummation of the Transactions calculated on the basis of holdings as of the November 29, 2006 record date. Those shareholders who beneficially own 25% or more of the outstanding shares of a fund may be deemed to be controlling persons of that fund under the 1940 Act. In this context, "control" shall mean (1) the beneficial ownership, either directly or through one or more controlled companies of more than 25% of the voting securities of 26 a company; (2) the acknowledgement or assertion by either the controlled or controlling party of the existence of control; or (3) an adjudication under sec.2(a)(9)of the 1940 Act which has become final, that control exists.

Wayne Annas and Carolyn B. Annas. may be deemed a controlling person of the Class C Shares of the BB&T Large Cap Growth Fund. With respect to the effect of this control on the voting rights of other security holders, such a controlling person's vote may determine the outcome of each proposal. 28 APPENDIX A BB&T FUNDS BB&T LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND AND BB&T LARGE CAP FUND AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION This Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, having been approved by the Board of Trustees of BB&T Funds, is made as of December 5, 2006 between BB&T Funds, on behalf of BB&T Large Cap Growth Fund and BB&T Large Cap Fund, and BB&T Asset Management, Inc (the "Plan").

In consideration therefor, Large Cap Fund shall, on the Exchange Date, assume all of the liabilities of Large Cap Growth Fund existing at the Valuation Time and transfer to Large Cap Growth Fund a number of full and fractional units of beneficial interest ("Shares") (such Shares being Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C Shares) of Large Cap Fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the assets of Large Cap Growth Fund transferred to Large Cap Fund on such date less the value of all of the liabilities of Large Cap Growth Fund assumed by Large Cap Fund on that date. It is intended that the reorganization described in this Plan shall be a tax-free reorganization under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). (b) Upon consummation of the transaction described in paragraph 1(a) of this Plan, Large Cap Growth Fund in complete liquidation shall distribute to its respective shareholders of record as of the Exchange Date the Large Cap Fund Shares received by it, each shareholder being entitled to receive that number of such Large Cap Fund Shares equal to the total of (i) the proportion which the number of Shares of Large Cap Growth Fund held by such shareholder bears to the number of such Shares of Large Cap Growth Fund outstanding on such date multiplied by (ii) the total number of Large Cap Fund Shares received by the Large Cap Growth Fund, as of the Exchange Date.

See accompanying notes to the Pro Forma financial statements. C-10 BB&T LARGE CAP FUND PRO FORMA NOTES TO COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 (UNAUDITED) 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND: The BB&T Large Cap Fund, ('Large Cap Fund") a series of the BB&T Funds (the "Trust"), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("the 1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end investment company established as a Massachusetts business trust. The BB&T Funds are authorized to issue an unlimited amount of shares without par value. The Large Cap Fund offers four classes of shares: Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares. The Class A Shares of the Large Cap Fund, have a maximum sales charge of 5.75% as a percentage of original purchase price. Certain purchases of Class A Shares will not be subject to a front-end sales charge, but will be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1.00% of the purchase price if redeemed less than one year after purchase. The Class B Shares of the Funds are offered without any front-end sales charge but will be subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% if redeemed less than one year after purchase and 1.00% if redeemed less than six years after purchase. The Class C Shares of the Funds are offered without any front-end sales charge but will be subject to a maximum CDSC of 1.00% if redeemed less than one year after purchase. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges except with respect to the fees paid under the distribution plan, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares and the exchange privilege of each class of shares. The pro forma adjustments and pro forma combined columns of the Statement of Operations reflect the adjustments necessary to show expenses at the rates which would have been in effect if the Funds were combined for the periods ended September 30, 2006. Investment advisory, administration and 12b-1 fees in the pro forma combined column are calculated at the projected rates in effect for the Large Cap Fund based upon the combined net assets of the corresponding Large Cap Fund and the Large Cap Growth Fund. Certain pro forma adjustments were made to estimate the benefit of combining operations of separate funds into one survivor fund. 2. BASIS OF COMBINATION: The accompanying pro forma financial statements are presented to show the effect of the proposed acquisition of the BB&T Large Cap Growth Fund, ("Large Growth Fund") a series of the Trust, by Large Cap Fund as if such acquisition had taken place as of October 1, 2005. Under the terms of the Plan of Reorganization, the combination of Large Growth Fund and Large Cap Fund will be accounted for by the method of accounting for tax-free mergers of investment companies. The acquisition would be accomplished by an acquisition of the net assets of Large Growth Fund in exchange for shares of Large Cap Fund at the September 30, 2006 net asset value. The statement of assets and liabilities and the related statement of operation of Large Growth Fund and Large Cap Fund have been combined as of and for the year ended September 30, 2006. Following the acquisition, the Large Cap Fund will be the accounting survivor. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the Large Cap Fund and the results of operations for pre-combination periods of the Large Cap Fund will not be restated. The accompanying pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of Large Cap Fund and Large Growth Fund included in their respective annual report dated September 30, 2006. The following notes refer to the accompanying pro forma financial statements as if the above-mentioned acquisition of Large Growth Fund by Large Cap Fund had taken place as of October 1, 2005. 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United C-11 BB&T LARGE CAP FUND PRO FORMA NOTES TO COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) States of America. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. SECURITIES VALUATION: Investments in common stocks, the principal market for which is a securities exchange or an over-the-counter market, are valued at their latest available sale price (except for those securities that are traded on NASDAQ, which will be valued at the NASDAQ official closing price) or in the absence of such a price, by reference to the latest available bid price in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. The Large Cap Fund may also use an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees to value certain securities. Such prices reflect fair values which may be established through the use of electronic and matrix techniques. Short-term obligations that mature in 60 days or less are valued at either amortized cost or original cost plus interest, which approximates current value. Investments in open-end investment companies, including the Funds of Funds, are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such companies. Investments in closed-end investment companies are valued at their fair values based upon the latest available bid prices in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. The differences between cost and fair values of investments are reflected as either unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available will be valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME: During the period, security transactions are accounted for no later than one business day after trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on trade date of the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the pro-rata amortization/accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND COLLATERALIZED LOAN AGREEMENTS: The Funds may enter into agreements with member banks of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and with registered broker/dealers that BB&T Asset Management, Inc. ("BB&T") deems creditworthy under guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees, subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed-upon date and price. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying Fund securities. The seller, under these types of agreements, is required to maintain the value of collateral held pursuant to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Securities subject to repurchase are held by the Funds' custodian, another qualified custodian, or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. In the event of counterparty default, the Fund has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. There is potential for loss to the Fund in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the fair value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights. SECURITY LOANS: To generate additional income, the Funds may lend up to 33 1/3% of their respective total assets pursuant to agreements requiring that the loan be continuously secured by any combination of cash, U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, equal at all times to at least 100% of the fair value. C-12 BB&T LARGE CAP FUND PRO FORMA NOTES TO COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the cash collateral received by the Funds was pooled and at September 30, 2006 was invested in Commercial Paper, Corporate Bonds, Mutual Funds, and Repurchase Agreements (with interest rates ranging from 5.30% to 5.48% and maturity dates ranging from October 2006 through December 2015) these investments are managed by U.S. Bank National Association. The Funds receive payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities lent while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of collateral. Collateral is marked to market daily to provide a level of collateral at least equal to the fair value of securities lent. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. However, loans will be made only to borrowers, such as broker-dealers, banks or institutional borrowers of securities, deemed by BB&T Funds to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in the judgment of BB&T Funds, the consideration which can be earned currently from such securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time and are, therefore, not considered to be illiquid investments. As of September 30, 2006, the following Funds had loans outstanding:
AVERAGE VALUE ON LOAN FOR THE VALUE OF PERIOD ENDED LOANED SEPTEMBER 30, SECURITIES VALUE OF COLLATERAL 2006 ------------ ------------------- --------------- Large Cap Fund........................ $122,511,470 $126,591,112 $179,921,206 Large Cap Growth Fund................. 97,859,740 101,006,062 113,851,334
ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY: Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated proportionately among all Funds daily in relation to the net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable basis. Each class of shares bears its pro-rata portion of expenses attributable to its series, except that each class separately bears expenses related specifically to that class, such as distribution fees. Expenses, which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the BB&T Funds and BB&T Variable Insurance Funds, based upon relative net assets or on another reasonable basis. BB&T serves as the Investment Advisor for each of the BB&T Funds. Income and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets or another appropriate basis. DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly for the Large Cap Fund. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly for the Large Cap Growth Fund. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually. The character of income and gains distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g. reclass of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders which exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital. 4. CAPITAL SHARES: The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of shares of the Large Cap Fund that would have been issued at September 30, 2006, in connection with the proposed reorganization. The number of shares assumed to be issued is equal to the net asset value of shares of Large Growth Fund, as of September 30, 2006, divided by the C-13 BB&T LARGE CAP FUND PRO FORMA NOTES TO COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) net asset value per share of the shares of Large Cap Fund as of September 30, 2006. The pro forma number of shares outstanding, by class, for the combined fund consists of the following at September 30, 2006:

C-14 BB&T LARGE CAP FUND PRO FORMA NOTES TO COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 5. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the policy of the Large Cap Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, after the acquisition, by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is required. At September 30, 2006, the Large Growth Fund had net capital loss carryforwards to offset future net capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by the Treasury regulations. To the extent that these carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the gains that are offset will not be distributed to shareholders.

See accompanying notes to the Pro Forma financial statements. C-27 BB&T LARGE CAP VIF PRO FORMA NOTES TO COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2006 (UNAUDITED) 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND: The BB&T Large Cap VIF, ("Large Cap VIF") a series of the BB&T Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust"), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("the 1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end investment company established as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest without par value. Shares of the Funds are offered through variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies. The pro forma adjustments and pro forma combined columns of the statements of operations reflect the adjustments necessary to show expenses at the rates which would have been in effect if the Funds were combined for the periods ended December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006. Investment advisory and administration fees in the pro forma combined column are calculated at the projected rates in effect for the Large Cap VIF based upon the combined net assets of the corresponding Large Cap VIF and the BB&T Large Cap Growth VIF. Certain pro forma adjustments were made to estimate the benefit of combining operations of separate funds into one survivor fund. Under the Funds' organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote. 2. BASIS OF COMBINATION: The accompanying pro forma financial statements are presented to show the effect of the proposed acquisition of the BB&T Large Cap Growth VIF ("Large Cap Growth VIF") a series of the Trust, by Large Cap Fund as if such acquisition had taken place as of January 1, 2006 or July 1, 2006. Under the terms of the Plan of Reorganization, the combination of Large Cap Growth VIF and Large Cap VIF will be accounted for by the method of accounting for tax-free mergers of investment companies. The acquisition would be accomplished by an acquisition of the net assets of Large Cap Growth VIF in exchange for shares of Large Cap VIF at the December 31, 2005 or June 30, 2006 net asset values. The statements of assets and liabilities and the related statements of operations of Large Cap Growth VIF and Large Cap VIF have been combined as of and for the periods ended December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006. Following the acquisition, the Large Cap VIF will be the accounting survivor. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the Large Cap VIF and the results of operations for pre-combination periods of the Large Cap VIF will not be restated. The accompanying pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of Large Cap Growth VIF and Large Cap VIF included in their respective annual and semi-annual reports dated December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006. The following notes refer to the accompanying pro forma financial statements as if the above-mentioned acquisition of Large Cap Growth VIF by Large Cap VIF had taken place as of January 1, 2006 or July 1, 2006. C-28 BB&T LARGE CAP VIF PRO FORMA NOTES TO COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. SECURITIES VALUATION: Investments in common stocks, the principal market for which is a securities exchange or an over-the-counter market, are valued at their latest available sale price (except for those securities that are traded on NASDAQ, which will be valued at the NASDAQ official closing price) or in the absence of such a price, by reference to the latest available bid price in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. The Large Cap VIF may also use an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees to value certain securities. Such prices reflect fair values which may be established through the use of electronic and matrix techniques. Short-term obligations that mature in 60 days or less are valued at either amortized cost or original cost plus interest, which approximates current value. Investments in closed-end investment companies are valued at their fair values based upon the latest available bid prices in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. The differences between cost and fair values of investments are reflected as either unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available will be valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME: During the period, security transactions are accounted for no later than one business day after trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on trade date of the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the pro-rata amortization/accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND COLLATERALIZED LOAN AGREEMENTS: The Fund may enter into agreements with member banks of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and with registered broker/dealers that BB&T Asset Management, Inc. ("BB&T") deems creditworthy under guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees, subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed-upon date and price. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying Fund securities. The seller, under these types of agreements, is required to maintain the value of collateral held pursuant to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Securities subject to repurchase are held by the Fund's custodian, another qualified custodian, or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. In the event of counterparty default, the Fund has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. There is potential for loss to the Fund in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the fair value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights. C-29 BB&T LARGE CAP VIF PRO FORMA NOTES TO COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY: Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated proportionately among all Funds daily in relation to the net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable basis. Expenses which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the BB&T Variable Insurance Funds and BB&T Funds Trusts, based upon relative net assets or on another reasonable basis. BB&T serves as the Investment Advisor for the BB&T Variable Insurance Funds and BB&T Fund Trusts. DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly for the Large Cap Growth VIF and Large Cap VIF. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually. The character of income and gains distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g. reclass of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax- basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders which exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital. 4. CAPITAL SHARES: The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of shares of the Large Cap VIF that would have been issued at June 30, 2006, in connection with the proposed reorganization. The number of shares assumed to be issued is equal to the net asset value of shares of Large Cap Growth VIF, as of June 30, 2006, divided by the net asset value per share of the shares of Large Cap VIF as of June 30, 2006. The pro forma number of shares outstanding, by class, for the combined Fund consists of the following at June 30, 2006:

-------- (A) Annualized. C-30 BB&T LARGE CAP VIF PRO FORMA NOTES TO COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 5. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the policy of the Large Cap VIF to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, after the acquisition, by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is required. At December 31, 2005, the Large Cap VIF had net capital loss carryforwards to offset future net capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by the Treasury regulations. To the extent that these carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the gains that are offset will not be distributed to shareholders.

INDEMNIFICATION Article VIII, Sections 1 and 2 of the Registrant's Declaration of Trust provides as follows: "Trustees, Officers, etc. Section 1. The Trust shall indemnify each of its Trustees and officers (including persons who serve at the Trust's request as directors, officers or trustees of another organization in which the Trust has any interest as a shareholder, creditor or otherwise) (hereinafter referred to as a "Covered Person") against all liabilities and expenses, including but not limited to amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties, and counsel fees reasonably incurred by any Covered Person in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any court or administrative or legislative body, in which such Covered Person may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise or with which such Covered Person may be or may have been threatened, while in office or thereafter, by reason of being or having been such a Covered Person except with respect to any matter as to which such Covered Person shall have been finally adjudicated in any such action, suit or other proceeding to be liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Covered Person's office. Expenses, including counsel fees so incurred by any such Covered Person (but excluding amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines or penalties), shall be paid from time to time by the Trust in advance of the final disposition of any such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay amounts so paid to the Trust if it is ultimately determined that indemnification of such expenses is not authorized under this Article, provided, however, that either (a) such Covered Person shall have provided appropriate security for such undertaking, (b) the Trust shall be insured against losses arising from any such advance payments or (c) either a majority of the disinterested Trustees acting on the matter (provided that a majority of the disinterested Trustees then in office act on the matter), or independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall have determined, based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial type inquiry) that there is reason to believe that such Covered Person will be found entitled to indemnification under this Article. Compromise Payment Section 2. As to any matter disposed of (whether by a compromise payment, pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise) without an adjudication by a court, or by any other body before which the proceeding was brought, that such Covered Person either (a) did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the Trust or (b) is liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office, indemnification shall be provided if (a) approved as in the best interests of the Trust, after notice that it involves such indemnification, by at least a majority of the disinterested Trustees acting on the matter (provided that a majority of the disinterested Trustees then in office act on the matter) upon a determination, based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial type inquiry) that such Covered Person acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the Trust and is not liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office, or (b) there has been obtained an opinion in writing of independent legal counsel, based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial type inquiry) to the effect that such Covered Person appears to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the Trust and that such indemnification would not protect such Person against any liability to the Trust to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office. Any approval pursuant to this Section shall not prevent the recovery from any Covered Person of any amount paid to such Covered Person in accordance with this Section as indemnification if such Covered Person is subsequently adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that such Covered Person's action was in the best interests of the Trust or to have been liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Covered Person's office." Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers, and controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer, or controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. In addition, the Trust maintains a directors and officer liability insurance policy with a maximum coverage of $5,000,000. ITEM 16.
