Manager’s Letter

Fellow Shareholders

The last six months have been marked by one of the most volatile periods for stocks on record. The global sell-off that began in September accelerated early in the period before taking a respite in December. Massive deleveraging among financial institutions gave no cover to virtually any sector or region, as investors fled riskier assets and sought the low yields of money funds and Treasury securities. However, beaten-down stocks rallied in March and April, as several economic indicators suggested the constant grind of bad news was easing. Aggressive monetary policy among central banks and massive government spending, from the United States to China, encouraged investors to take on greater risk.

Emerging markets in general rose more than developed markets. But the dramatic swing was uneven, both by region and sector. Asia staged a comeback in the last six months, and Latin America also rebounded sharply, in part on improved demand for commodities and materials from Brazil and elsewhere in the region. But economic problems continued to beset Eastern Europe, while the Middle East and Africa saw faltering growth as a result of the shrinking availability of loans, weakening currencies, and a contraction in demand for raw materials.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

Your fund rebounded in the last six months, particularly in the final two months of the period, but results lagged the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and were roughly in line with the Lipper Emerging Markets Funds Average. The shortfall against the MSCI Index was due in large measure to our holdings in the Middle East and Africa, which was hard hit by the plunge in oil prices and the severe recession. Financials holdings were also battered by the slowdown.

Over the past six months, materials, industrials, and energy stocks were the best performers. Telecoms were among the worst performers due to renewed regulatory concerns and the expected slowdown in growth within the emerging markets universe. Information technology was hurt by the economic slowdown, as many companies decreased inventory levels for IT products.

MARKET AND PORTFOLIO REVIEW

Every emerging region performed well, with the exception of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, which was hamstrung on multiple fronts. Russia is facing a major economic slowdown and a growing budget deficit that has worsened from lower oil prices. Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic have relied on foreign lending to fuel growth. Asia delivered the best gains, led by China, which has used its large reserves to underpin the economy and spur domestic demand. As investors became more willing to consider riskier appetites, stocks in India rallied. Brazil responded positively to the late-period rise in commodity prices. Mexico, however, was hampered by the slowdown in the U.S., as well as the fallout from the swine flu pandemic.

Pacific ex Japan
Emerging Asian markets increased about 23% in dollar terms over the past six months. Investors cheered China’s aggressive stimulus moves to backstop the economic slide. What’s more, China appears to be one of the few economies in the world to enjoy positive growth in 2009. We increased our exposure to the region, particularly China, and, as a result, North Asia contributed the most in absolute terms to the fund’s performance. Positions in construction and cement companies proved beneficial, as share prices rose in response to the massive amounts of money the government is spending on infrastructure projects to sustain growth. China National Building, Anhui Conch Cement, and China Shanshui Cement were among our prominent holdings. China Insurance International saw losses in premium sales. One notable purchase was China Unicom, the second-largest mobile operator in China, which is likely to gain considerable market share in the long term. (Please refer to the portfolio of investments for a complete listing of holdings and the amount each represents in the portfolio.)

The other Asian giant, India, also posted a solid gain. We are overweight in the burgeoning economy because we believe the country’s domestic growth story remains largely intact, even after accounting for a sluggish global backdrop. We have a number of holdings in infrastructure companies such as GMR Infrastructure, Container Corporation, and Jaiprakash Associates, which are benefiting from stimulus spending and have rebounded from distressed levels. We also favor port operators such as Mundra Ports, which stands to benefit when global trade improves.

South Korea may be among the countries least “de-coupled” from the developed world because it relies heavily on exports. Yet the sharp rally late in the period lifted South Korean stocks, and our underweight to the country hurt overall results. However, we continue to have lighter exposure there—and in Taiwan—because we believe these markets are vulnerable to a sustained global downturn.

Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA)
The EMEA region advanced approximately 5% in the past six months. We reduced our exposure to the region during the period, as it has been hit particularly hard by the credit crisis. But stock selection in the region proved the most costly to fund performance. At the epicenter of the storm was Russia, where a strong economic growth story was turned on its head late last year. Russia’s conflict with neighboring Georgia, plunging oil prices, and a banking liquidity squeeze eroded investor confidence. Even the strongest players in their respective industries were hurt by the dynamic. Uralkali, the low-cost potash producer, plunged due to falling fertilizer prices and a large government fine for a 2006 potash mine collapse. We eliminated our position in the company. Real estate developer Pik performed poorly amid difficulty refinancing its short-term debt, falling property prices, and the government’s decision to renegotiate a contract with the company on very unfavorable terms. We sold Bank of St. Petersburg and reduced our position in Sberbank due to the slowing economy and tight liquidity. Energy giant Gazprom also suffered from the global slowdown.

Our Oman and Qatar positions were also costly. These markets are not included in our market index, and they underperformed the wider emerging markets index. Our financials holdings in these countries lost value as weakening economies led to slowing loan growth. Investors also were concerned over exposure to the rapidly deteriorating real estate market in parts of the region. One such position was Bank Muscat of Oman. We sold our position in Egypt’s Orascom Construction, which fell due to declining demand for fertilizer and a weaker outlook for construction across the region. We also eliminated our position in Orascom Telecom due to faltering growth and exposure to weakening currency in some key markets such as Pakistan and Algeria.

Despite the setbacks on multiple fronts, we believe the region offers real long-term investment opportunities, as the economies become more diverse and reforms take root. We made several purchases, including South African miner AngloGold Ashanti, based on a positive outlook for gold prices and an improved strategy, and MTN, a pan-African mobile telephone company that is enjoying solid growth in underpenetrated markets. South Africa is struggling from a slowing economy and a large current account deficit. We have no holdings in central Africa, where there is precious little liquidity and an abundance of corporate governance issues. Our largest purchase during the period was Israel’s Teva Pharmaceutical, a leading maker of generic drugs that is expanding beyond North Africa and Western Europe into higher growth areas such as Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe.

Latin America
The region rallied approximately 19% in the last six months in dollar terms. The fourth-quarter sell-off prompted us to increase our Latin America positions, which helped performance. It is now the fund’s largest overweight. We believe that the region’s economic strides will continue, driven by sensible fiscal management and sound fundamentals. We’re focused on the region’s largest markets, Mexico and Brazil, and emphasizing domestic retail, banks, and telecom stocks.

Of course, Latin America was not immune to the deteriorating equity market climate over the past six months. Mexico in particular was hurt by the U.S. economic crisis. Homebuilder Urbi Desarrollos was hit by the economic slowdown, as was Grupo Banorte. Regional telecom heavyweight America Movil—one of the fund’s larger positions—declined. While telecoms were among the fund’s worst performers, we believe their long-term prospects are strong. For that reason, America Movil remains a top holding. Petrobras, the Brazilian oil company, was a top performer. It enjoys strong production growth and is attractively valued. Wal-Mart de Mexico, the Mexican discount retailer, has a strong competitive position and should prosper in a weaker economic environment. Banco Itau of Brazil is well run and has a solid balance sheet. In sum, we are confident these and other well-managed companies with a strong domestic presence are positioned to benefit as economic growth picks up.

OUTLOOK

Emerging stock markets suffered devastating losses last year, and it’s too soon to know if the recent rally can be sustained, but, overall, the developing markets appear well positioned amid the global economic recession. The return on capital in many areas, particularly Asia and Latin America, is significantly higher than most of the developed world. High productivity, strong domestic demand, and young populations should fuel solid economic growth. In addition, many countries have illustrated a willingness and ability to respond quickly and forcefully to the economic crisis. China and many other countries have announced significant stimulus measures, and interest rates are also being cut across the emerging markets universe. Banking systems in general are much healthier than in the developed world, with little or no impact from the subprime mortgage crisis. Consumers and corporations are significantly less indebted than their developed market peers. Consumption is a key theme in emerging markets, and domestic economies remain strong.

We believe that infrastructure spending among emerging markets and the largest developed countries will lead the economic recovery. That bodes well for emerging economies, given their high exposure to the materials, industrials, technology, and energy sectors. In fact, the relative resilience of emerging markets gives us confidence that the asset class will fare better and lead developed markets in an upturn. Emerging markets have arguably suffered indiscriminately in the sell-off, regardless of their fundamentals. We believe this discrepancy between market psychology and long-term fundamentals and valuations has created favorable investment opportunities. Prospects vary widely among the regions, but we believe many stock-specific opportunities remain.

RISKS OF INTERNATIONAL INVESTING

Funds that invest overseas generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. assets. Funds investing in a single country or in a limited geographic region tend to be riskier than more diversified funds. Risks can result from varying stages of economic and political development; differing regulatory environments, trading days, and accounting standards; and higher transaction costs of non-U.S. markets. Non-U.S. investments are also subject to currency risk, or a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency.

Performance and Expenses

GROWTH OF $10,000 

This chart shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds lacking 10-year records). The result is compared with benchmarks, which may include a broad-based market index and a peer group average or index. Market indexes do not include expenses, which are deducted from fund returns as well as mutual fund averages and indexes.

AVERAGE ANNUAL COMPOUND TOTAL RETURN 

This table shows how the fund would have performed each year if its actual (or cumulative) returns for the periods shown had been earned at a constant rate.

FUND EXPENSE EXAMPLE 

As a mutual fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as redemption fees or sales loads, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the most recent six-month period and held for the entire period.

Actual Expenses
The first line of the following table (“Actual”) provides information about actual account values and expenses based on the fund’s actual returns. You may use the information in this line, together with your account balance, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information on the second line of the table (“Hypothetical”) is based on hypothetical account values and expenses derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% per year rate of return before expenses (not the fund’s actual return). You may compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypothetical example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Note: T. Rowe Price charges an annual small-account maintenance fee of $10, generally for accounts with less than $2,000 ($500 for UGMA/UTMA). The fee is waived for any investor whose T. Rowe Price mutual fund accounts total $25,000 or more, accounts employing automatic investing, and IRAs and other retirement plan accounts that utilize a prototype plan sponsored by T. Rowe Price (although a separate custodial or administrative fee may apply to such accounts). This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.

You should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing costs and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees or sales loads. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. To the extent a fund charges transaction costs, however, the total cost of owning that fund is higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc. (the corporation), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). The Emerging Markets Stock Fund (the fund), a diversified, open-end management investment company, is one portfolio established by the corporation. The fund commenced operations on March 31, 1995. The fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments primarily in the common stocks of companies located (or with primary operations) in emerging markets.

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the use of estimates made by fund management. Fund management believes that estimates and security valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the security valuations reflected in the financial statements may differ from the value the fund ultimately realizes upon sale of the securities.

Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Distributions Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes. Dividends received from mutual fund investments are reflected as dividend income; capital gain distributions are reflected as realized gain/loss. Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income tax-related interest and penalties, if incurred, would be recorded as income tax expense. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions are declared and paid on an annual basis. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid by the fund, typically on an annual basis.

Currency Translation Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate, using the mean of the bid and asked prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars as quoted by a major bank. Purchases and sales of securities, income, and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on realized and unrealized security gains and losses is reflected as a component of security gains and losses.

Redemption Fees A 2% fee is assessed on redemptions of fund shares held for 90 days or less to deter short-term trading and to protect the interests of long-term shareholders. Redemption fees are withheld from proceeds that shareholders receive from the sale or exchange of fund shares. The fees are paid to the fund, and are recorded as an increase to paid-in capital. The fees may cause the redemption price per share to differ from the net asset value per share.

New Accounting Pronouncements On November 1, 2008, the fund adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (FAS 157), Fair Value Measurements. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes the framework for measuring fair value, and expands the disclosures of fair value measurements in the financial statements. Adoption of FAS 157 did not have a material impact on the fund’s net assets or results of operations.

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (FAS 161), Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about derivative and hedging activities, including how such activities are accounted for and their effect on financial position, performance and cash flows. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 will have on the fund’s financial statements and related disclosures; however, it is expected to have no material impact on the fund’s net assets or results of operations.

NOTE 2 - VALUATION

The fund’s investments are reported at fair value as defined under FAS 157. The fund values its investments and computes its net asset value per share at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day that the NYSE is open for business.

Valuation Methods Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities exchange or in the over-the-counter (OTC) market are valued at the last quoted sale price or, for certain markets, the official closing price at the time the valuations are made, except for OTC Bulletin Board securities, which are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices. A security that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security. Listed securities not traded on a particular day are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices for domestic securities and the last quoted sale price for international securities. Debt securities with remaining maturities of less than one year at the time of acquisition generally use amortized cost in local currency to approximate fair value. However, if amortized cost is deemed not to reflect fair value or the fund holds a significant amount of such securities with remaining maturities of more than 60 days, the securities are valued at prices furnished by dealers who make markets in such securities or by an independent pricing service.

Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund’s closing net asset value per share on the day of valuation.

Other investments, including restricted securities, and those for which the above valuation procedures are inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value are stated at fair value as determined in good faith by the T. Rowe Price Valuation Committee, established by the fund’s Board of Directors.

For valuation purposes, the last quoted prices of non-U.S. equity securities may be adjusted under the circumstances described below. If the fund determines that developments between the close of a foreign market and the close of the NYSE will, in its judgment, materially affect the value of some or all of its portfolio securities, the fund will adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities as of the close of the NYSE. In deciding whether it is necessary to adjust closing prices to reflect fair value, the fund reviews a variety of factors, including developments in foreign markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets, and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign securities and baskets of foreign securities. A fund may also fair value securities in other situations, such as when a particular foreign market is closed but the fund is open. The fund uses outside pricing services to provide it with closing prices and information to evaluate and/or adjust those prices. The fund cannot predict how often it will use closing prices and how often it will determine it necessary to adjust those prices to reflect fair value. As a means of evaluating its security valuation process, the fund routinely compares closing prices, the next day’s opening prices in the same markets, and adjusted prices.

Valuation Inputs Various inputs are used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk)

Level 3 – unobservable inputs

Observable inputs are those based on market data obtained from sources independent of the fund, and unobservable inputs reflect the fund’s own assumptions based on the best information available. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, non-U.S. equity securities actively traded in foreign markets generally are reflected in Level 2 despite the availability of closing prices, because the fund evaluates and determines whether those closing prices reflect fair value at the close of the NYSE or require adjustment, as described above. The following table summarizes the fund’s investments, based on the inputs used to determine their values on April 30, 2009:

Following is a reconciliation of the fund’s Level 3 investments for the period ended April 30, 2009:

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Consistent with its investment objective, the fund engages in the following practices to manage exposure to certain risks or to enhance performance. The investment objective, policies, program, and risk factors of the fund are described more fully in the fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

Emerging Markets At April 30, 2009, approximately 90% of the fund’s net assets were invested, directly or indirectly, in securities of companies located in emerging markets or denominated in or linked to the currencies of emerging market countries. Future economic or political developments could adversely affect the liquidity or value, or both, of such securities.

Repurchase Agreements All repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S. government securities. Collateral is in the possession of the fund’s custodian or, for tri-party agreements, the custodian designated by the agreement. Collateral is evaluated daily to ensure that its market value exceeds the delivery value of the repurchase agreements at maturity. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the fund could experience a delay in recovering its value and a possible loss of income or value if the counter-party fails to perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

China A-shares During the six months ended April 30, 2009, the fund invested in certain Chinese equity securities (A-shares) available only to local Chinese investors and Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (QFII). The fund gains access to the A-share market through T. Rowe Price International, Inc. (TRPI), which serves as the registered QFII for all participating T. Rowe Price-sponsored investment companies. Investment decisions related to A-shares are specific to each participating fund, and each fund bears the resultant economic and tax consequences of its holdings and transactions in A-shares. The fund is subject to certain restrictions and administrative processes relating to its ability to repatriate cash balances, investment proceeds, and earnings associated with its A-shares and may incur substantial delays in gaining access to its assets or a loss of value in the event of noncompliance with applicable Chinese rules or requirements. Current Chinese tax law is unclear whether capital gains realized on the fund’s investments in A-shares will be subject to tax. Because management believes it more likely than not that Chinese capital gains taxes will be imposed, accrued taxes are reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

Securities Lending The fund lends its securities to approved brokers to earn additional income. It receives as collateral cash and U.S. government securities valued at 102% to 105% of the value of the securities on loan. Cash collateral is invested by the fund’s lending agent(s) in accordance with investment guidelines approved by fund management. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and a possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the securities or if collateral investments decline in value. Securities lending revenue recognized by the fund consists of earnings on invested collateral and borrowing fees, net of any rebates to the borrower and compensation to the lending agent. On April 30, 2009, the value of loaned securities was $153,716,000.

Other Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $606,441,000 and $558,602,000, respectively, for the six months ended April 30, 2009.

NOTE 4 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

No provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its taxable income and gains. Distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which differ from generally accepted accounting principles, and, therefore, may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character but are not adjusted for temporary differences. The amount and character of tax-basis distributions and composition of net assets are finalized at fiscal year-end; accordingly, tax-basis balances have not been determined as of April 30, 2009.

The fund intends to retain realized gains to the extent of available capital loss carryforwards. As of October 31, 2008, the fund had $101,032,000 of unused capital loss carryforwards that expire in fiscal 2016.

At April 30, 2009, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $3,233,938,000. Net unrealized loss aggregated $291,228,000 at period-end, of which $380,952,000 related to appreciated investments and $672,180,000 related to depreciated investments.

NOTE 5 - FOREIGN TAXES

The fund is subject to foreign income taxes imposed by certain countries in which it invests. Additionally, capital gains realized by the fund upon disposition of securities issued in or by certain foreign countries are subject to capital gains tax imposed by those countries. All taxes are computed in accordance with the applicable foreign tax law, and, to the extent permitted, capital losses are used to offset capital gains. Tax expense attributable to income is accrued by the fund as a reduction of income. Current and deferred tax expense attributable to net capital gains is reflected as a component of realized and/or change in unrealized gain/loss on securities in the accompanying financial statements. At April 30, 2009, the fund had no deferred tax liability attributable to foreign securities and $19,873,000 of foreign capital loss carryforwards, including $3,870,000 that expire in 2016, and $16,003,000 that expire in 2017.

NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The fund is managed by T. Rowe Price International, Inc. (the manager), a wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Price Associates), which is wholly owned by T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. The investment management agreement between the fund and the manager provides for an annual investment management fee, which is computed daily and paid monthly. The fee consists of an individual fund fee, equal to 0.75% of the fund’s average daily net assets, and a group fee. The group fee rate is calculated based on the combined net assets of certain mutual funds sponsored by Price Associates (the group) applied to a graduated fee schedule, with rates ranging from 0.48% for the first $1 billion of assets to 0.285% for assets in excess of $220 billion. The fund’s group fee is determined by applying the group fee rate to the fund’s average daily net assets. At April 30, 2009, the effective annual group fee rate was 0.31%.

In addition, the fund has entered into service agreements with Price Associates and two wholly owned subsidiaries of Price Associates (collectively, Price). Price Associates computes the daily share price and provides certain other administrative services to the fund. T. Rowe Price Services, Inc., provides shareholder and administrative services in its capacity as the fund’s transfer and dividend disbursing agent. T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc., provides subaccounting and recordkeeping services for certain retirement accounts invested in the fund. For the six months ended April 30, 2009, expenses incurred pursuant to these service agreements were $100,000 for Price Associates, $936,000 for T. Rowe Price Services, Inc., and $130,000 for T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. The total amount payable at period-end pursuant to these service agreements is reflected as Due to Affiliates in the accompanying financial statements.

Additionally, the fund is one of several mutual funds in which certain college savings plans managed by Price Associates may invest. As approved by the fund’s Board of Directors, shareholder servicing costs associated with each college savings plan are borne by the fund in proportion to the average daily value of its shares owned by the college savings plan. For the six months ended April 30, 2009, the fund was charged $49,000 for shareholder servicing costs related to the college savings plans, of which $42,000 was for services provided by Price. The amount payable at period-end pursuant to this agreement is reflected as Due to Affiliates in the accompanying financial statements. At April 30, 2009, approximately 1% of the outstanding shares of the fund were held by college savings plans.

The fund is also one of several mutual funds sponsored by Price Associates (underlying Price funds) in which the T. Rowe Price Spectrum Funds (Spectrum Funds) and T. Rowe Price Retirement Funds (Retirement Funds) may invest. Neither the Spectrum Funds nor the Retirement Funds invest in the underlying Price funds for the purpose of exercising management or control. Pursuant to separate special servicing agreements, expenses associated with the operation of the Spectrum and Retirement Funds are borne by each underlying Price fund to the extent of estimated savings to it and in proportion to the average daily value of its shares owned by the Spectrum and Retirement Funds, respectively. Expenses allocated under these agreements are reflected as shareholder servicing expenses in the accompanying financial statements. For the six months ended April 30, 2009, the fund was allocated $70,000 of Spectrum Funds’ expenses and $732,000 of Retirement Funds’ expenses. Of these amounts, $582,000 related to services provided by Price. The amount payable at period-end pursuant to this agreement is reflected as Due to Affiliates in the accompanying financial statements. Additionally, redemption fees received by the Spectrum Funds are allocated to each underlying Price fund in proportion to the average daily value of its shares owned by the Spectrum Funds. $3,000 of redemption fees reflected in the accompanying financial statements were received from the Spectrum Funds. At April 30, 2009, approximately 3% of the outstanding shares of the fund were held by the Spectrum Funds and 26% were held by the Retirement Funds.

The fund may invest in the T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Fund and the T. Rowe Price Government Reserve Investment Fund (collectively, the T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Funds), open-end management investment companies managed by Price Associates and considered affiliates of the fund. The T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Funds are offered as cash management options to mutual funds, trusts, and other accounts managed by Price Associates and/or its affiliates and are not available for direct purchase by members of the public. The T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Funds pay no investment management fees.

As of April 30, 2009, T. Rowe Price Group, Inc., and/or its wholly owned subsidiaries owned 122,828 shares of the fund, representing less than 1% of the fund’s net assets.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

On March 10, 2009, the fund’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the investment advisory contract (Contract) between the fund and its investment manager, T. Rowe Price International, Inc. (Manager). The Board considered a variety of factors in connection with its review of the Contract, also taking into account information provided by the Manager during the course of the year, as discussed below:

Services Provided by the Manager
The Board considered the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided to the fund by the Manager. These services included, but were not limited to, management of the fund’s portfolio and a variety of related activities as well as financial and administrative services, reporting, and communications. The Board also reviewed the background and experience of the Manager’s senior management team and investment personnel involved in the management of the fund. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided by the Manager.

Investment Performance of the Fund
The Board reviewed the fund’s average annual total returns over the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods as well as the fund’s year-by-year returns and compared these returns with a wide variety of previously agreed upon comparable performance measures and market data, including those supplied by Lipper and Morningstar, which are independent providers of mutual fund data. On the basis of this evaluation and the Board’s ongoing review of investment results, and factoring in the severity of market turmoil in 2008, the Board concluded that the fund’s performance was satisfactory.

Costs, Benefits, Profits, and Economies of Scale
The Board reviewed detailed information regarding the revenues received by the Manager under the Contract and other benefits that the Manager (and its affiliates) may have realized from its relationship with the fund, including research received under “soft dollar” agreements. The Board noted that soft dollars were not used to pay for third-party, non-broker research during 2008. The Board also received information on the estimated costs incurred and profits realized by the Manager and its affiliates from advising T. Rowe Price mutual funds, as well as estimates of the gross profits realized from managing the fund in particular. The Board concluded that the Manager’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the fund. The Board also considered whether the fund or other funds benefit under the fee levels set forth in the Contract from any economies of scale realized by the Manager. Under the Contract, the fund pays a fee to the Manager composed of two components—a group fee rate based on the aggregate assets of certain T. Rowe Price mutual funds (including the fund) that declines at certain asset levels and an individual fund fee rate that is assessed on the assets of the fund. The Board concluded that the advisory fee structure for the fund continued to provide for a reasonable sharing of benefits from economies of scale with the fund’s investors.

Fees
The Board reviewed the fund’s management fee rate, operating expenses, and total expense ratio and compared them with fees and expenses of other comparable funds based on information and data supplied by Lipper. The information provided to the Board indicated that the fund’s management fee was at or below the median for comparable funds. The information also indicated that the fund’s expense ratio was above the median for certain groups of comparable funds but at or below the median for other groups of comparable funds. The Board also reviewed the fee schedules for comparable privately managed accounts of the Manager and its affiliates. Management informed the Board that the Manager’s responsibilities for privately managed accounts are more limited than its responsibilities for the fund and other T. Rowe Price mutual funds that it or its affiliates advise. On the basis of the information provided, the Board concluded that the fees paid by the fund under the Contract were reasonable.

Approval of the Contract
As noted, the Board approved the continuation of the Contract. No single factor was considered in isolation or to be determinative to the decision. Rather, the Board concluded, in light of a weighting and balancing of all factors considered, that it was in the best interests of the fund to approve the continuation of the Contract, including the fees to be charged for services thereunder.
