1Until February 28, 2005, Legend Equities Corporation (Legend) receives a dealer reallowance in the full amount of the Class A shares charge.
2No sales charge is payable at the time of purchase on investments of $1 million or more, although for such investments the Fund may impose a CDSC of 1.00% on certain redemptions made within twelve months of the purchase. The CDSC is assessed on an amount equal to the lesser of the then current market value or the cost of the shares being redeemed. Accordingly, no sales charge is imposed on increases in net asset value above the initial purchase price.
Ivy Funds Distributor, Inc. (IFDI) or its affiliates may pay dealers up to 1.00% on investments made in Class A shares with no initial sales charge.
IFDI or its affiliates may pay additional compensation from its own resources to broker-dealers based upon the value of shares of a Fund owned by the broker-dealer for its own account or for its customers, including compensation for shares of the Funds purchased by customers of such dealers without payment of a sales charge. Please see the Statement of Additional Information (SAI) for more information.
