Regulatory Matters

On July 24, 2006, WRIMCO, Waddell & Reed, Inc. and Waddell & Reed Services Company (collectively, Waddell & Reed) reached a settlement with each of the SEC, the New York Attorney General (NYAG) and the Securities Commissioner of the State of Kansas to resolve proceedings brought by each regulator in connection with its investigation of frequent trading and market timing in certain Waddell & Reed Advisors Funds.

Under the terms of the SEC's cease-and desist order (SEC Order), pursuant to which Waddell & Reed neither admitted nor denied any of the findings contained therein, among other provisions Waddell & Reed has agreed to: pay $40 million in disgorgement and $10 million in civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures; retain an independent consultant to periodically review Waddell & Reed's supervisory, compliance, control and other policies and procedures; and retain an independent distribution consultant (described below). According to the SEC Order, the SEC found that some market timers made profits in some of the Waddell & Reed Advisors Funds, and that this may have caused some dilution in those Funds. Also, the SEC found that Waddell & Reed failed to make certain disclosures to the Waddell & Reed Advisors Funds' Boards of Directors and shareholders regarding the market timing activity and Waddell & Reed's acceptance of service fees from some market timers.

The Assurance of Discontinuance with the NYAG (NYAG Settlement), pursuant to which Waddell & Reed neither admitted nor denied any of the findings contained therein, among its conditions requires that Waddell & Reed: reduce the aggregate investment management fees paid by the Waddell & Reed Advisors Funds and by W&R Target Funds, Inc. (the Funds) by $5 million per year for five years, for a projected total of $25 million in investment management fee reductions (please see footnote 1 to the Portfolios' Fees and Expenses tables); bear the costs of an independent fee consultant to be retained by the Funds to review and consult regarding the Funds' investment management fee arrangements; and make additional investment management fee-related disclosures to Fund shareholders. The NYAG Settlement also effectively requires that the Funds implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of the Funds' Boards of Directors and appoint an independent compliance consultant responsible for monitoring the Funds' and WRIMCO's compliance with applicable laws.

The consent order issued by the Securities Commissioner of the State of Kansas (Kansas Order), pursuant to which Waddell & Reed neither admitted nor denied any of the findings contained therein, requires Waddell & Reed to pay a fine of $2 million to the Office of the Commissioner.

The SEC Order further requires that the $50 million in settlement amounts described above will be distributed in accordance with a distribution plan developed by an independent distribution consultant, in consultation with Waddell & Reed, and that is agreed to by the SEC staff and the Funds' Disinterested Directors. The SEC Order requires that the independent distribution consultant develop a methodology and distribution plan pursuant to which Fund shareholders shall receive their proportionate share of losses, if any, suffered by the Funds due to market timing. Therefore, it is not currently possible to specify which particular Fund shareholders or groups of Fund shareholders will receive distributions of those settlement monies or in what proportion and amounts. However, as noted above, the SEC Order makes certain findings with respect to market timing activities in some of the Waddell & Reed Advisors Funds only. Accordingly, it is not expected that shareholders of W&R Target Funds, Inc. will receive distributions of settlement monies.

The foregoing is only a summary of the SEC Order, NYAG Settlement and Kansas Order. A copy of the SEC Order will be available on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov. A copy of the SEC Order, NYAG Settlement and Kansas Order is available as part of the Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. Form 8-K as filed on July 24, 2006.
