During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 (January 31, 2003 for CDC Nvest Companies Trust I), this Committee held five (5) meetings. The Audit Committee of the Trusts is comprised solely of Independent Trustees and considers matters relating to the scope and results of the Trusts' audits and serves as a forum in which the independent accountants can raise any issues or problems identified in the audit with the Board of Trustees. This Committee also reviews and monitors compliance with stated investment objectives and policies, SEC and Treasury regulations as well as operational issues relating to the transfer agent and custodian. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 (January 31, 2003 for CDC Nvest Companies Trust I) this Committee held four (4) meetings. The membership of each committee is as follows: AUDIT COMMITTEE CONTRACT REVIEW AND GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE Daniel M. Cain - Chairman Kenneth J. Cowan - Chairman Sandra O. Moose Graham T. Allison, Jr. Edward A. Benjamin Richard Darman Pendleton P. White John A. Shane Paul G. Chenault TRUSTEE FEES The Trusts pay no compensation to their officers or to their trustees who are Interested Trustees. Each Independent Trustee receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $45,000 and meeting attendance fees of $4,500 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends. Each committee member receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $7,000. Furthermore, each committee chairman receives an additional retainer fee (beyond the $7,000 fee) at the annual rate of $5,000. The retainer fees assume four Committee meetings per year. Each Trustee is compensated $1,750 per Committee meeting that he or she attends in excess of four per year. In addition, for oversight of the AEW Real Estate Income Fund each Trustee receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $2,000 and meeting attendance fees of $375 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends. Each committee member receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $2,000. Furthermore, each committee chairman receives an additional retainer fee (beyond the $2,000 fee) at the annual rate of $1,000. The retainer fees assume four Committee meetings per year. Each Trustee is compensated $200 per Committee meeting that he or she attends in excess of four per year. These fees are allocated among the mutual fund portfolios in the Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II based on a formula that takes into account, among other factors, the relative net assets of each Fund.
