INT-95-3 (PAGE 1 OF 2) May 10, 1995 INT-95-3 (PAGE 1 OF 2) May 10, 1995 The following paragraph replaces the one found in the "Shareholder and Account Policies" on P-37. EFFECT OF FOREIGN TAXES. Foreign governments may impose taxes on a fund and its investments and these taxes generally will reduce the fund's distributions. A tax credit or deduction may be available to you. If so, your tax statement will show more taxable income or capital gains than actually distributed by the fund, but will also show the amount of the available offsetting credit or deduction. The following paragraphs supplement the information found in the section entitled "Transaction Details" beginning on P-37. FIDELITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DEDUCT AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE of $12.00 from accounts with a value of less than $2,500 (including any amount paid as a sales charge), subject to an annual maximum charge of $60.00 per shareholder. It is expected that accounts will be valued on the second Friday in November of each year. Accounts opened after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that year. The fee, which is payable to the transfer agent, is designed to offset in part the relatively higher costs of servicing smaller accounts. The fee will not be deducted from retirement accounts, accounts using regular investment plans, or if total assets in Fidelity funds exceed $50,000. Eligibility for the $50,000 waiver is determined by aggregating Fidelity mutual fund accounts maintained by FSC or FBSI which are registered under the same social security number or which list the same social security number for the custodian of a Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minors Act account. The information regarding UGMS/UTMA accounts with respect to sales charge waivers (number 9) on P-39 does not apply to international funds.
