Closing of the Merger is subject to a number of contingencies, including approvals of the stockholders of Dreyfus and of Mellon. The Merger is expected to occur in late August 1994, but could occur significantly later. The Merger will result in the automatic termination of the Fund's current investment advisory agreement with Dreyfus, as required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
