Effective February 1, 2006, the benchmarks of the STI Classic Large Cap Relative Value Fund and the STI Classic Large Cap Value Equity Fund changed from the S&P 500(R)/BARRA Value Index to the Russell 1000(R) Value Index. The Russell 1000(R) Value Index is a widely-recognized, capitalization-weighted (companies with larger market capitalizations have more influence than those with smaller market capitalizations) index of companies in the Russell 1000(R) Index. The Russell 1000(R) Index is a widely-recognized, comprehensive large-cap index that measures the performance of the 1,000 largest companies in the Russell 3000(R) Index. The Russell 3000(R) Index is a widely-recognized, capitalization-weighted index that measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization. This change resulted from the discontinuation of the S&P(R)/BARRA indices by Standard & Poor's and will not impact either Fund's investment strategy or objective. The Large Cap Relative Value Fund will continue to measure its performance against the S&P 500(R) Index in addition to the Russell 1000(R) Value Index. 2. In the "HOW TO SELL YOUR FUND SHARES" section, the second paragraph has been deleted and replaced with the following: A Medallion Signature Guarantee* by a bank or other financial institution (a notarized signature is not sufficient) is required if the redemption is: - made payable to someone other than the registered owner; or - sent to an address or bank account other than the address or bank account of record (the address and/or bank account supplied in the initial Account Application), or an address or bank account of record that has been changed within the last 15 calendar days. - - MEDALLION SIGNATURE GUARANTEE: A Medallion Signature Guarantee verifies the authenticity of your signature and helps ensure that changes to your account are in fact authorized by you. A Medallion Signature Guarantee may be obtained from a domestic bank or trust company, broker, dealer, clearing agency, savings association or other financial institution participating in a Medallion Program recognized by the Securities Trading Association. Signature guarantees from financial institutions that do not reflect one of the following are not part of the program and will not be accepted. The acceptable Medallion programs are Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, (STAMP), Stock Exchange Medallion Program, (SEMP), or the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Medallion Program, (NYSE MSP). Contact your local financial adviser for further assistance. 3.
