Dear Shareholder:
Enclosed is a proxy card you can use to vote on the Invesco Fund mergers.
I realize that casting your vote may not be your priority for today, but the Invesco Funds listed
in the notice really need your vote. So weve tried to make it quick and easy for you, and Im
asking you to cast your vote on the card or by following the instructions in the enclosed notice.
WHY WE NEED YOUR VOTE
Weve had to adjourn previous shareholders meetings to merge the Invesco Funds because there wasnt
sufficient voting participation from shareholders to approve the proposals.
Without your vote we wont be able to pass the proposal(s) to merge your fund(s) into the acquiring
Invesco Funds.
We really need your vote as part of the process of integrating the Van Kampen/Morgan
Stanley retail investment capabilities into the Invesco product line.
Please take a moment to vote today. YOUR VOTE COUNTS! See the enclosed card for notice on
generally how to submit your vote.
If you have any questions or need more information, please call our proxy information line at
1-800-959-4246, or contact your financial representative. Proxy materials and other fund literature
may be reviewed and downloaded online at www.invesco.com.
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Mr. Philip Taylor
President and Principal Executive Officer of Invesco Funds
