On July 13, 2000, the shareholders of each of the above-mentioned Funds (identified in the table below under the heading "Acquired Fund") approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") between each Fund and the corresponding Acquiring Fund identified in the chart below. The Plan applicable to each Fund, except for Scudder International Bond Fund and Scudder International Growth and Income Fund, provides for the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Fund to the corresponding Acquiring Fund and the assumption of all of the liabilities of the Fund by the Acquiring Fund in exchange for Class S shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund. Shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund thereby received would then be distributed to the shareholders of the Fund in complete liquidation of the Fund. With respect to Scudder International Bond Fund and Scudder International Growth and Income Fund, the Plan provides that the issued and outstanding shares of such Funds will be reclassified into Class S shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund and, accordingly, the corresponding Acquiring Fund will acquire all of the assets and assume all of the liabilities of the Fund (the transactions contemplated by the Plans are referred to as the "Reorganizations"). The Reorganizations are currently expected to become effective on or about the applicable Reorganization Date identified in the chart below.
