(1) Amount Previously Paid: (2) Form, Schedule or Registration Statement No.: (3) Filing Party: (4) Date Filed: Dear DG Shareholder: The Board of Trustees of the DG Investor Series has called a special shareholders meeting concerning matters that are important to you. As you may be aware, Deposit Guaranty Corp. completed a merger with and into First American Corporation on May 1, 1998. As a result, the new organization has since taken steps to consolidate the mutual fund investment advisory activities of both banks under one umbrella. We believe that these actions will result in positive benefits for DG shareholders. As the next step in the consolidation process, you are asked to vote on the approval of the reorganization of the DG Investor Series into the AmeriStar Portfolios of The Infinity Mutual Funds, Inc. As part of the reorganization, the newly combined funds will be renamed the ISG FUNDS. Upon completion of the proposed reorganization, the ISG Funds will consist of 19 funds with over $2.6 billion in assets. WHAT DO THESE CHANGES MEAN TO YOU? o The aggregate value of the shares you held before the reorganization will not change and will be the same immediately after the reorganization. o The reorganization will be tax-free and will not involve any sales loads, commissions or transaction charges. o The investment objectives and policies of your fund will be substantially similar to your fund's current objectives and policies except as stated in the enclosures. KEY BENEFITS OF THE REORGANIZATION: o Substantial increase in the number of fund choices available to you. o Enhanced investment management expertise and improved research capabilities. o Improved shareholder servicing and the elimination of redundant administration costs to the funds. o Greater efficiencies in the operational management of the funds. As a result, the DG Investor Series' Board of Trustees has voted in favor of the proposed reorganization and strongly encourages that you vote "For" the proposal as well. The reorganization and other related matters are discussed in detail in the enclosed materials, which you should read carefully. FUND COMBINATIONS AND NEW FUND NAMES: In connection with the reorganization of the DG Investor Series, each DG Fund listed below will transfer all of its assets and liabilities to the indicated ISG Fund in exchange for Shares of such ISG Fund, assuming that the reorganization is approved by shareholders. This transaction is described in detail in the enclosed materials, which you should read carefully. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DG FUNDS ISG FUNDS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DG Equity Fund -> ISG Large Cap Equity Fund - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DG Opportunity Fund -> ISG Small Cap Opportunity Fund - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DG International Equity Fund -> ISG International Equity Fund - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DG Government Income Fund -> ISG Government Income Fund - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DG Limited Term Government -> ISG Limited Duration U.S. Income Fund Government Fund - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DG Municipal Income Fund -> ISG Municipal Income Fund - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DG Prime Money Market Fund -> ISG Prime Money Market Fund - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DG Treasury Money Market Fund -> ISG U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VOTING INSTRUCTIONS Vote by mail.
