Beginning on or about April 6, 2010, shareholders of Delaware REIT Fund (“Fund”) as of the record date of March 26, 2010 will receive a communication regarding an upcoming proxy vote in which they will be asked to participate. The proxy statement includes a proposal to approve a new investment management agreement between Delaware Pooled® Trust on behalf of the Fund and Delaware Management Company (“DMC”). Due to the requirements of certain Federal securities laws, the Fund’s previous investment management agreement terminated at the closing of Lincoln National Corporation’s sale of Delaware Investments to Macquarie Group on January 4, 2010. The Fund is currently being managed pursuant to a temporary interim investment management agreement. As a result, shareholders of the Fund are being asked to approve a new investment management agreement so that DMC may continue to serve as the investment manager of the Fund.
 
The communication will include an overview of the item on which the shareholders are asked to vote as well as the materials to use when voting by mail, telephone, or through the internet. If a certain percentage of shareholder votes have not been received on or about April 19, 2010, a telephone solicitation process by a third party, the Altman Group, will begin. A meeting of shareholders of the Delaware REIT Fund is scheduled to be held on May 7, 2010.
 
A copy of the proxy statement and Q&A is attached.
 
Please contact me if you have any questions.
