The following replaces in its entirety the information appearing in the fifth paragraph under the heading "BROKERAGE ALLOCATION AND OTHER PRACTICES - BROKERAGE SELECTION": "AIM may determine target levels of brokerage business with various brokers on behalf of its clients (including the Funds) over a certain time period. The target levels will be based upon the following factors, among others: (1) the execution services provided by the broker; and (2) the research services provided by the broker. Portfolio transactions also may be effected through broker-dealers that recommend the Funds to their clients, or that act as agent in the purchase of a Fund's shares for their clients. AIM will not enter into a binding commitment with brokers to place trades with such brokers involving brokerage commissions in precise amounts." The following replaces in its entirety the information appearing in the second paragraph under the heading "PURCHASE, REDEMPTION AND PRICING OF SHARES - PAYMENTS TO DEALERS": "In addition to, or instead of, amounts paid to dealers as a sales commission, AIM Distributors may, from time to time, at its expense out of its own financial resources or as an expense for which it may be compensated or reimbursed by an AIM Fund under a distribution plan, if applicable, make cash payments to dealer firms as an incentive to sell shares of the funds and/or to promote retention of their customers' assets in the funds. Such cash payments may be calculated on sales of shares of AIM Funds ("Sales-Based Payments"), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the public offering price of all shares sold by the dealer firm during the applicable period. Such cash payments also may be calculated on the average daily net assets of the applicable AIM Fund(s) attributable to that particular dealer ("Asset-Based Payments'), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. AIM Distributors may agree to make such cash payments to a dealer firm in the form of either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments. AIM Distributors may also make other cash payments to dealer firms in addition to or in lieu of Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments, in the form of payment for travel expenses, including lodging, incurred in connection with trips taken by qualifying registered representatives of those dealer firms and their families to places within or outside the United States; meeting fees; entertainment; transaction processing and transmission charges; advertising or other promotional expenses; or other amounts as determined in AIM Distributor's discretion. In certain cases these other payments could be significant to the dealer firms. To the extent dealer firms sell more shares of the Funds or cause clients to retain their investment in the Funds, AIM benefits from management and other fees it is paid with respect to those assets. Any payments described above will not change the price paid by investors for the purchase of the applicable AIM Fund's shares or the amount that any particular AIM Fund will receive as proceeds from such sales. AIM Distributors determines the cash payments described above in its discretion in response to requests from dealer firms, based on factors it deems relevant. Dealers may not use sales of the AIM Funds' shares to qualify for any incentives to the extent that such incentives may be prohibited by the laws of any state." 1 The following replaces in its entirety the information appearing under the heading "DIRECTED BROKERAGE (RESEARCH SERVICES) AND PURCHASES OF SECURITIES OF REGULAR BROKERS OR DEALERS" in APPENDIX I: "During the last fiscal year ended October 31, 2003, each Fund allocated the following amount of transactions to broker-dealers that provided AIM with certain research, statistics and other information: Related Fund Transactions Brokerage Commissions - ---- ------------ --------------------- AIM Asia Pacific Growth Fund $ 162,113 $ 450 AIM European Growth Fund 22,224,855 42,716 AIM Global Aggressive Growth Fund 53,258,282 80,270 AIM Global Growth Fund 69,679,872 120,060 AIM International Growth Fund 80,904,692 138,032 During the last fiscal year ended October 31, 2003, the Funds did not purchase securities of their "regular" brokers or dealers." The following replaces in its entirety the information appearing under the heading "REGULATORY INQUIRIES AND PENDING LITIGATION": "The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to regulatory inquires and litigation related to a wide range of issues. These issues include, among others, market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies and issues related to Section 529 college savings plans. As described in the prospectuses for the AIM and INVESCO Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), the former investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds, and A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"), the investment advisor to the AIM and INVESCO Funds, have reached agreements in principle with certain regulators to resolve civil enforcement actions and investigations related to market timing activity in the INVESCO Funds and the AIM Funds, respectively. These regulators include the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the State of New York, acting through the office of the state Attorney General ("NYAG"), and the State of Colorado, acting through the office of the state Attorney General ("COAG"). AIM expects that its wholly owned subsidiary A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI"), the distributor of the retail classes of shares of the AIM and INVESCO Funds, also will be included as a party in the settlement with respect to AIM. On September 8, 2004, Raymond R. Cunningham's law firm issued a press release announcing that Mr. Cunningham had agreed to resolve the civil actions against him by paying the SEC and the NYAG a $500,000 civil penalty, to accept a two-year ban from the securities industry and to accept a five-year ban from serving as an officer or director in the securities industry. In addition to IFG, the SEC and NYAG had filed civil proceedings against Mr. Cunningham, in his former capacity as the chief executive officer of IFG. At the time these proceedings were filed Mr. Cunningham held the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc. ("AIM Management"), the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. Mr. Cunningham is no longer affiliated with AIM. In addition, as described more fully below, IFG and AIM are the subject of a number of ongoing regulatory inquiries and civil lawsuits related to one or more of the issues currently being scrutinized by various Federal and state regulators, including but not limited to those described above. Additional regulatory actions and/or civil lawsuits related to the above or other issues may be filed against the AIM and INVESCO Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. Additional regulatory inquiries related to the above or other issues also may be received by the AIM and INVESCO Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. This statement of additional information will be supplemented periodically to disclose any such additional regulatory actions, civil lawsuits and regulatory inquiries. 2 Ongoing Regulatory Inquiries Concerning IFG IFG, certain related entities, certain of their current and former officers and/or certain of the INVESCO Funds have received regulatory inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, some of which concern one or more INVESCO Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, and investments in securities of other registered investment companies. These regulators include the SEC, the NASD, Inc. ("NASD"), the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia, the West Virginia Securities Commission and the Bureau of Securities of the State of New Jersey. IFG and certain of these other parties also have received more limited inquiries from the United States Department of Labor ("DOL") and the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, some of which concern one or more INVESCO Funds. Ongoing Regulatory Inquiries Concerning AIM AIM, certain related entities, certain of their current and former officers and/or certain of the AIM Funds have received regulatory inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies and issues related to Section 529 college savings plans. These regulators include the SEC, the NASD, the Department of Banking for the State of Connecticut, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia, the West Virginia Securities Commission and the Bureau of Securities of the State of New Jersey. AIM and certain of these other parties also have received more limited inquiries from the SEC, the DOL, the Internal Revenue Service, the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, the United States Attorney's Office for the Central District of California, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Securities Division and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds. Private Civil Actions Alleging Market Timing Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, AIM Management, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and/or certain of their current and former officers) making allegations substantially similar to the allegations in the three regulatory actions concerning market timing activity in the INVESCO Funds that have been filed by the SEC, the NYAG and the COAG against these parties. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and/or (iv) breach of contract. These lawsuits were initiated in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys' and experts' fees. A list identifying such lawsuits that have been served on IFG or AIM, or for which service of process has been waived, as of September 23, 2004 is set forth in Appendix N-1. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (the "Panel") has ruled that all actions pending in Federal court that allege market timing and/or late trading be transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland for coordinated pre-trial proceedings. All such cases against IFG and related defendants filed to date have been conditionally or finally transferred to the District of Maryland in accordance with the Panel's directive. In addition, the proceedings initiated in state court have been removed by IFG to Federal court and transferred to the District of Maryland. The plaintiff in one such action continues to seek remand to state court. Private Civil Actions Alleging Improper Use of Fair Value Pricing Multiple civil class action lawsuits have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG and/or AIM) alleging that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) 3 violations of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; (ii) common law breach of duty; and (iii) common law negligence and gross negligence. These lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory and punitive damages; interest; and attorneys' fees and costs. A list identifying such lawsuits that have been served on IFG or AIM, or for which service of process has been waived, as of September 23, 2004 is set forth in Appendix N-2. Private Civil Actions Alleging Excessive Advisory and Distribution Fees Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, IFG, AIM, INVESCO Institutional (N.A.), Inc. ("IINA"), ADI and/or INVESCO Distributors, Inc. ("INVESCO Distributors")) alleging that the defendants charged excessive advisory and distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale. Certain of these lawsuits also allege that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; (ii) breach of fiduciary duty; and/or (iii) breach of contract. These lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as damages; injunctive relief; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements and distribution plans; interest; prospective relief in the form of reduced fees; and attorneys' and experts' fees. A list identifying such lawsuits that have been served on IFG or AIM, or for which service of process has been waived, as of September 23, 2004 is set forth in Appendix N-3. Private Civil Actions Alleging Improper Distribution Fees Charged to Closed Funds Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or certain of the trustees of the AIM and INVESCO Funds) alleging that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by charging distribution fees while funds and/or specific share classes were closed generally to new investors and/or while other share classes of the same fund were not charged the same distribution fees. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; and (ii) breach of fiduciary duty. These lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as damages; injunctive relief; and attorneys' and experts' fees. A list identifying such lawsuits that have been served on IFG or AIM, or for which service of process has been waived, as of September 23, 2004 is set forth in Appendix N-4. Private Civil Actions Alleging Improper Mutual Fund Sales Practices and Directed-Brokerage Arrangements Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, AIM Management, IFG, AIM, AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") and/or certain of the trustees of the AIM and INVESCO Funds) alleging that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM and INVESCO Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM and INVESCO Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; (ii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iii) aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty. These lawsuits have been filed in Federal courts and seek such remedies as compensatory and punitive damages; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements and distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid; an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments; restitution of all unlawfully or discriminatorily obtained fees and charges; and attorneys' and experts' fees. A list identifying such lawsuits that have been served on IFG or AIM, or for which service of process has been waived, as of September 23, 2004 is set forth in Appendix N-5."

The following replaces in its entirety the information appearing under the heading "REGULATORY INQUIRIES AND PENDING LITIGATION": "The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to regulatory inquires and litigation related to a wide range of issues. These issues include, among others, market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies and issues related to Section 529 college savings plans. As described in the prospectuses for the AIM and INVESCO Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), the former investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds, and A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"), the investment advisor to the AIM and INVESCO Funds, have reached agreements in principle with certain regulators to resolve civil enforcement actions and investigations related to market timing activity in the INVESCO Funds and the AIM Funds, respectively. These regulators include the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the State of New York, acting through the office of the state Attorney General ("NYAG"), and the State of Colorado, acting through the office of the state Attorney General ("COAG"). AIM expects that its wholly owned subsidiary A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI"), the distributor of the retail classes of shares of the AIM and INVESCO Funds, also will be included as a party in the settlement with respect to AIM. On September 8, 2004, Raymond R. Cunningham's law firm issued a press release announcing that Mr. Cunningham had agreed to resolve the civil actions against him by paying the SEC and the NYAG a $500,000 civil penalty, to accept a two-year ban from the securities industry and to accept a five-year ban from serving as an officer or director in the securities industry. In addition to IFG, the SEC and NYAG had filed civil proceedings against Mr. Cunningham, in his former capacity as the chief executive officer of IFG. At the time these proceedings were filed Mr. Cunningham held the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc. ("AIM Management"), the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. Mr. Cunningham is no longer affiliated with AIM. In addition, as described more fully below, IFG and AIM are the subject of a number of ongoing regulatory inquiries and civil lawsuits related to one or more of the issues currently being scrutinized by various Federal and state regulators, including but not limited to those described above. Additional regulatory actions and/or civil lawsuits related to the above or other issues may be filed against the AIM and INVESCO Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. Additional regulatory inquiries related to the above or other issues also may be received by the AIM and INVESCO Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. This statement of additional information will be supplemented periodically to disclose any such additional regulatory actions, civil lawsuits and regulatory inquiries. Ongoing Regulatory Inquiries Concerning IFG IFG, certain related entities, certain of their current and former officers and/or certain of the INVESCO Funds have received regulatory inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, some of which concern one or more INVESCO Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, and investments in securities of other registered investment companies. These regulators include the SEC, the NASD, Inc. ("NASD"), the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia, the West Virginia Securities Commission and the Bureau of Securities of the State of New Jersey. IFG and certain of these other parties also have received more limited inquiries from the United States Department of Labor ("DOL") and the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, some of which concern one or more INVESCO Funds. 1 Ongoing Regulatory Inquiries Concerning AIM AIM, certain related entities, certain of their current and former officers and/or certain of the AIM Funds have received regulatory inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies and issues related to Section 529 college savings plans. These regulators include the SEC, the NASD, the Department of Banking for the State of Connecticut, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia, the West Virginia Securities Commission and the Bureau of Securities of the State of New Jersey. AIM and certain of these other parties also have received more limited inquiries from the SEC, the DOL, the Internal Revenue Service, the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, the United States Attorney's Office for the Central District of California, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Securities Division and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds. Private Civil Actions Alleging Market Timing Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, AIM Management, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and/or certain of their current and former officers) making allegations substantially similar to the allegations in the three regulatory actions concerning market timing activity in the INVESCO Funds that have been filed by the SEC, the NYAG and the COAG against these parties. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and/or (iv) breach of contract. These lawsuits were initiated in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys' and experts' fees. A list identifying such lawsuits that have been served on IFG or AIM, or for which service of process has been waived, as of September 23, 2004 is set forth in Appendix F-1. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (the "Panel") has ruled that all actions pending in Federal court that allege market timing and/or late trading be transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland for coordinated pre-trial proceedings. All such cases against IFG and related defendants filed to date have been conditionally or finally transferred to the District of Maryland in accordance with the Panel's directive. In addition, the proceedings initiated in state court have been removed by IFG to Federal court and transferred to the District of Maryland. The plaintiff in one such action continues to seek remand to state court. Private Civil Actions Alleging Improper Use of Fair Value Pricing Multiple civil class action lawsuits have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG and/or AIM) alleging that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violations of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; (ii) common law breach of duty; and (iii) common law negligence and gross negligence. These lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory and punitive damages; interest; and attorneys' fees and costs. A list identifying such lawsuits that have been served on IFG or AIM, or for which service of process has been waived, as of September 23, 2004 is set forth in Appendix F-2. Private Civil Actions Alleging Excessive Advisory and Distribution Fees Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, IFG, AIM, INVESCO Institutional (N.A.), Inc. ("IINA"), ADI and/or INVESCO Distributors, Inc. ("INVESCO Distributors")) alleging that the defendants charged excessive advisory and distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale. Certain of these lawsuits also allege that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; (ii) breach 2 of fiduciary duty; and/or (iii) breach of contract. These lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as damages; injunctive relief; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements and distribution plans; interest; prospective relief in the form of reduced fees; and attorneys' and experts' fees. A list identifying such lawsuits that have been served on IFG or AIM, or for which service of process has been waived, as of September 23, 2004 is set forth in Appendix F-3. Private Civil Actions Alleging Improper Distribution Fees Charged to Closed Funds Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or certain of the trustees of the AIM and INVESCO Funds) alleging that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by charging distribution fees while funds and/or specific share classes were closed generally to new investors and/or while other share classes of the same fund were not charged the same distribution fees. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; and (ii) breach of fiduciary duty. These lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as damages; injunctive relief; and attorneys' and experts' fees. A list identifying such lawsuits that have been served on IFG or AIM, or for which service of process has been waived, as of September 23, 2004 is set forth in Appendix F-4. Private Civil Actions Alleging Improper Mutual Fund Sales Practices and Directed-Brokerage Arrangements Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, AIM Management, IFG, AIM, AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") and/or certain of the trustees of the AIM and INVESCO Funds) alleging that the defendants improperly used the assets of the AIM and INVESCO Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM and INVESCO Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; (ii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iii) aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty. These lawsuits have been filed in Federal courts and seek such remedies as compensatory and punitive damages; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements and distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid; an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments; restitution of all unlawfully or discriminatorily obtained fees and charges; and attorneys' and experts' fees. A list identifying such lawsuits that have been served on IFG or AIM, or for which service of process has been waived, as of September 23, 2004 is set forth in Appendix F-5." The following replaces in its entirety the headings and the information appearing under the headings "APPENDIX F-1" through "APPENDIX F-5": "APPENDIX F-1 PENDING LITIGATION ALLEGING MARKET TIMING The following civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits involve, depending on the lawsuit, one or more AIM or INVESCO Funds, IFG, AIM, AIM Management, AMVESCAP and/or certain related entities and individuals and are related to the three regulatory actions concerning market timing activity in the INVESCO Funds that have been filed by the SEC, the Attorney General of the State of New York and the State of Colorado against these parties. These lawsuits either have been served or have had service of process waived as of September 23, 2004.

Rowe Price Mutual Fund Litigation). The plaintiffs in one of these lawsuits (Carl E. Vonder Haar, et al. v. INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. et al.) continue to seek remand to state court.

The following replaces in its entirety the information appearing in the fifth paragraph under the heading "BROKERAGE ALLOCATION AND OTHER PRACTICES - BROKERAGE SELECTION": "AIM may determine target levels of brokerage business with various brokers on behalf of its clients (including the Fund) over a certain time period. The target levels will be based upon the following factors, among others: (1) the execution services provided by the broker; and (2) the research services provided by the broker. Portfolio transactions also may be effected through broker-dealers that recommend the Fund to their clients, or that act as agent in the purchase of the Fund's shares for their clients. AIM will not enter into a binding commitment with brokers to place trades with such brokers involving brokerage commissions in precise amounts." The following replaces in its entirety the information appearing under the heading "DIRECTED BROKERAGE (RESEARCH SERVICES) AND PURCHASES OF SECURITIES OF REGULAR BROKERS OR DEALERS" in APPENDIX I: "During the last fiscal year ended October 31, 2003, the Fund allocated the following amount of transactions to broker-dealers that provided AIM with certain research, statistics and other information: Related Fund Transactions Brokerage Commissions - ---- ------------ --------------------- AIM International Growth Fund $80,904,692 $138,032 During the last fiscal year ended October 31, 2003, the fund did not purchase securities of its "regular" brokers or dealers." The following replaces in its entirety the information appearing under the heading "REGULATORY INQUIRIES AND PENDING LITIGATION": "The mutual fund industry as a whole is currently subject to regulatory inquires and litigation related to a wide range of issues. These issues include, among others, market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies and issues related to Section 529 college savings plans. As described in the prospectuses for the AIM and INVESCO Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. ("IFG"), the former investment advisor to the INVESCO Funds, and A I M Advisors, Inc. ("AIM"), the investment advisor to the AIM and INVESCO Funds, have reached agreements in principle with certain regulators to resolve civil enforcement actions and investigations related to market timing activity in the INVESCO Funds and the AIM Funds, respectively. These regulators include the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the State of New York, acting through the office of the state Attorney General ("NYAG"), and the State of Colorado, acting through the office of the state Attorney General ("COAG"). AIM expects that its wholly owned subsidiary A I M Distributors, Inc. ("ADI"), the distributor of the retail classes of shares of the AIM and INVESCO Funds, also will be included as a party in the settlement with respect to AIM. 1 On September 8, 2004, Raymond R. Cunningham's law firm issued a press release announcing that Mr. Cunningham had agreed to resolve the civil actions against him by paying the SEC and the NYAG a $500,000 civil penalty, to accept a two-year ban from the securities industry and to accept a five-year ban from serving as an officer or director in the securities industry. In addition to IFG, the SEC and NYAG had filed civil proceedings against Mr. Cunningham, in his former capacity as the chief executive officer of IFG. At the time these proceedings were filed Mr. Cunningham held the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of A I M Management Group Inc. ("AIM Management"), the parent of AIM, and the position of Senior Vice President of AIM. Mr. Cunningham is no longer affiliated with AIM. In addition, as described more fully below, IFG and AIM are the subject of a number of ongoing regulatory inquiries and civil lawsuits related to one or more of the issues currently being scrutinized by various Federal and state regulators, including but not limited to those described above. Additional regulatory actions and/or civil lawsuits related to the above or other issues may be filed against the AIM and INVESCO Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. Additional regulatory inquiries related to the above or other issues also may be received by the AIM and INVESCO Funds, IFG, AIM and/or related entities and individuals in the future. This statement of additional information will be supplemented periodically to disclose any such additional regulatory actions, civil lawsuits and regulatory inquiries. Ongoing Regulatory Inquiries Concerning IFG IFG, certain related entities, certain of their current and former officers and/or certain of the INVESCO Funds have received regulatory inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, some of which concern one or more INVESCO Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, and investments in securities of other registered investment companies. These regulators include the SEC, the NASD, Inc. ("NASD"), the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia, the West Virginia Securities Commission and the Bureau of Securities of the State of New Jersey. IFG and certain of these other parties also have received more limited inquiries from the United States Department of Labor ("DOL") and the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, some of which concern one or more INVESCO Funds. Ongoing Regulatory Inquiries Concerning AIM AIM, certain related entities, certain of their current and former officers and/or certain of the AIM Funds have received regulatory inquiries in the form of subpoenas or other oral or written requests for information and/or documents related to one or more of the following issues, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds: market timing activity, late trading, fair value pricing, excessive or improper advisory and/or distribution fees, mutual fund sales practices, including revenue sharing and directed-brokerage arrangements, investments in securities of other registered investment companies and issues related to Section 529 college savings plans. These regulators include the SEC, the NASD, the Department of Banking for the State of Connecticut, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia, the West Virginia Securities Commission and the Bureau of Securities of the State of New Jersey. AIM and certain of these other parties also have received more limited inquiries from the SEC, the DOL, the Internal Revenue Service, the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, the United States Attorney's Office for the Central District of California, the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Securities Division and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, some of which concern one or more AIM Funds. Private Civil Actions Alleging Market Timing Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG, AIM, AIM Management, AMVESCAP, certain related entities and/or certain of their current and former officers) making allegations substantially similar to the allegations in the three regulatory actions concerning market timing activity in the INVESCO Funds that have been filed by the SEC, the NYAG and the COAG against these parties. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal and state securities laws; (ii) violation of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"); (iii) breach of fiduciary duty; and/or (iv) breach of contract. These lawsuits were initiated in both Federal and state courts and seek such 2 remedies as compensatory damages; restitution; rescission; accounting for wrongfully gotten gains, profits and compensation; injunctive relief; disgorgement; equitable relief; various corrective measures under ERISA; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements; declaration that the advisory agreement is unenforceable or void; refund of advisory fees; interest; and attorneys' and experts' fees. A list identifying such lawsuits that have been served on IFG or AIM, or for which service of process has been waived, as of September 23, 2004 is set forth in Appendix K-1. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (the "Panel") has ruled that all actions pending in Federal court that allege market timing and/or late trading be transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland for coordinated pre-trial proceedings. All such cases against IFG and related defendants filed to date have been conditionally or finally transferred to the District of Maryland in accordance with the Panel's directive. In addition, the proceedings initiated in state court have been removed by IFG to Federal court and transferred to the District of Maryland. The plaintiff in one such action continues to seek remand to state court. Private Civil Actions Alleging Improper Use of Fair Value Pricing Multiple civil class action lawsuits have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, certain INVESCO Funds, certain AIM Funds, IFG and/or AIM) alleging that certain AIM and INVESCO Funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violations of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; (ii) common law breach of duty; and (iii) common law negligence and gross negligence. These lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as compensatory and punitive damages; interest; and attorneys' fees and costs. A list identifying such lawsuits that have been served on IFG or AIM, or for which service of process has been waived, as of September 23, 2004 is set forth in Appendix K-2. Private Civil Actions Alleging Excessive Advisory and Distribution Fees Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, IFG, AIM, INVESCO Institutional (N.A.), Inc. ("IINA"), ADI and/or INVESCO Distributors, Inc. ("INVESCO Distributors")) alleging that the defendants charged excessive advisory and distribution fees and failed to pass on to shareholders the perceived savings generated by economies of scale. Certain of these lawsuits also allege that the defendants adopted unlawful distribution plans. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; (ii) breach of fiduciary duty; and/or (iii) breach of contract. These lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as damages; injunctive relief; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements and distribution plans; interest; prospective relief in the form of reduced fees; and attorneys' and experts' fees. A list identifying such lawsuits that have been served on IFG or AIM, or for which service of process has been waived, as of September 23, 2004 is set forth in Appendix K-3. Private Civil Actions Alleging Improper Distribution Fees Charged to Closed Funds Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, IFG, AIM, ADI and/or certain of the trustees of the AIM and INVESCO Funds) alleging that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by charging distribution fees while funds and/or specific share classes were closed generally to new investors and/or while other share classes of the same fund were not charged the same distribution fees. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; and (ii) breach of fiduciary duty. These lawsuits have been filed in both Federal and state courts and seek such remedies as damages; injunctive relief; and attorneys' and experts' fees. A list identifying such lawsuits that have been served on IFG or AIM, or for which service of process has been waived, as of September 23, 2004 is set forth in Appendix K-4. Private Civil Actions Alleging Improper Mutual Fund Sales Practices and Directed-Brokerage Arrangements Multiple civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against various parties (including, depending on the lawsuit, AIM Management, IFG, AIM, AIM Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS") and/or certain of the trustees of the AIM and INVESCO Funds) alleging that the defendants improperly used the assets of 3 the AIM and INVESCO Funds to pay brokers to aggressively promote the sale of the AIM and INVESCO Funds over other mutual funds and that the defendants concealed such payments from investors by disguising them as brokerage commissions. These lawsuits allege a variety of theories of recovery, including but not limited to: (i) violation of various provisions of the Federal securities laws; (ii) breach of fiduciary duty; and (iii) aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty. These lawsuits have been filed in Federal courts and seek such remedies as compensatory and punitive damages; rescission of certain Funds' advisory agreements and distribution plans and recovery of all fees paid; an accounting of all fund-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments; restitution of all unlawfully or discriminatorily obtained fees and charges; and attorneys' and experts' fees. A list identifying such lawsuits that have been served on IFG or AIM, or for which service of process has been waived, as of September 23, 2004 is set forth in Appendix K-5." The following replaces in its entirety the headings and the information appearing under the headings "APPENDIX K-1" through "APPENDIX K-5": "APPENDIX K-1 PENDING LITIGATION ALLEGING MARKET TIMING The following civil lawsuits, including purported class action and shareholder derivative suits involve, depending on the lawsuit, one or more AIM or INVESCO Funds, IFG, AIM, AIM Management, AMVESCAP and/or certain related entities and individuals and are related to the three regulatory actions concerning market timing activity in the INVESCO Funds that have been filed by the SEC, the Attorney General of the State of New York and the State of Colorado against these parties.
