The Agreement provides for the transfer of all of the assets and the assumption of all of the liabilities of each series of the Capital Company and the Investment Company to a corresponding, newly created series of the Global Company in a tax-free exchange for shares of the relevant series of the Global Company. Following such exchange, each series of the Capital Company and the Investment Company will distribute the corresponding, newly created series of the Global Company shares to its stockholders pro rata, in liquidation of the series of the Capital Company and the Investment Company, respectively (the "Reorganization"). A special meeting (the "Meeting") of the stockholders of the Capital Company and the Investment Company will be held on or about December 18, 2000 to consider the Reorganization. In connection with the Meeting, the Global Company will be filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Proxy Statement describing the Reorganization and a Prospectus for the newly created series of the Global Company. If the Agreement is approved at the Meeting and certain conditions required by the Agreement are satisfied, the Reorganization is expected to become effective on or about December 31, 2000.
