The principal effect of each reorganization would be to convert an investment in a Fund into an investment in an Acquiring Fund.

If shareholder approval is obtained and the other conditions to the reorganizations are satisfied, it is anticipated that the reorganizations will take place in mid to late September 2006. At that time, Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class Z Shares of each Fund would be exchanged for shares of equal dollar value in an identical class of the corresponding Acquiring Fund as shown in the chart below.
