Dear Fellow RidgeWorth Funds Shareholder:

First, we would like to apologize for all the attention you have been receiving from RidgeWorth as of late. We certainly understand how busy life can be. However, there is an extremely important initiative in motion at RidgeWorth Funds that requires your attention and hopefully your response. By now you have received several packages in the mail from us concerning several important initiatives to be voted on by shareholders. The main purpose of this process is to obtain shareholder approval for a new investment advisory and sub-advisory agreement in connection with the transaction that employees of RidgeWorth Investments, in partnership with Lightyear Capital, entered into with SunTrust Banks, Inc. to acquire all outstanding equity of RidgeWorth Investments. We are very excited about this development and the future of RidgeWorth Funds.

In order for this transaction to close, we need your proxy vote by May 14. Doing so will ensure the continued, successful management and operation of the Funds. Likewise, the approval of these proposals will allow the funds greater flexibility to execute their investment strategies upon successful close of the upcoming transaction. Furthermore, there are no material changes to the agreements, fund expenses, the management of the funds or the portfolio managers.

Your vote is truly important as every share counts toward reaching the required majority of shares present at the meeting as is required for the transaction. Responses thus far have been overwhelmingly favorable, however due to a relative high vote requirement; we need your help to secure the remaining shares needed.

Voting by one of the following methods is quick and easy:

	1.      Call a proxy voting specialist at 1-866-796-7178.
	2.      Vote by mail by completing, signing and dating the enclosed proxy ballot and returning it in the pre-paid envelope provided in this package. If convenient for you, please call us so that your vote will be received in time for the adjourned special meeting on May 14th.

Please help us by taking a couple minutes now to vote your shares. Thank you in advance for your help.

Sincerely,

©2014 RidgeWorth Investments. RidgeWorth Investments is the trade name for RidgeWorth Capital Management, Inc., an investment adviser registered with the SEC and the adviser to the RidgeWorth Funds.
