JOINT PROXY STATEMENT
INVESCO CLOSED-END FUNDS

1555 Peachtree Street, N.E.
Atlanta, Georgia 30309

JOINT ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

July 14, 2011

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF PROXY
MATERIALS FOR THE MEETING TO BE HELD ON JULY 14, 2011: THE JOINT PROXY
STATEMENT IS AVAILABLE AT THE WEBSITE ADDRESS LOCATED ON THE
ENCLOSED PROXY CARDS.

Introduction

This Joint Proxy Statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the respective Board of Trustees/Directors (the “Board”) of each of the Invesco Closed-End Funds listed on Annex A to this Joint Proxy Statement (the “Funds”) of proxies to be voted at a Joint Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Funds, and all adjournments thereof (the “Meeting”), to be held at 11 Greenway Plaza, Suite 2500, Houston, Texas 77046, on July 14, 2011, at 3:00 p.m. C.D.T. The Meeting will be an annual meeting for each Fund. The approximate mailing date of this Joint Proxy Statement and accompanying proxy cards is June 6, 2011.

Participating in the Meeting are holders of common shares of beneficial interest or, as applicable, common stock (the “Common Shares”) and, for those Funds with outstanding preferred shares of beneficial interest (the “Preferred Shares”), the holders of Preferred Shares. Annex A to this Joint Proxy Statement includes information on the number of outstanding Common Shares and Preferred Shares of each Fund. The Common Shares and the Preferred Shares of the Funds are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Shares.” The Meeting is scheduled as a joint meeting because the shareholders of the Funds are expected to consider and vote on similar matters. The Board has determined that the use of a joint proxy statement for the Meeting is in the best interests of the shareholders of each Fund. In the event that a shareholder of any Fund present at the Meeting objects to the holding of a joint meeting and moves for an adjournment of the meeting of such Fund to a time immediately after the Meeting so that such Fund’s meeting may be held separately, the persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment.

Annex A lists the stock symbols by which the Funds sometimes are referred to in this Joint Proxy Statement.

The Board has fixed the close of business on May 18, 2011 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of holders of Shares of each Fund entitled to vote at the Meeting.

If you have any questions about the Proposal, please contact us at Invesco Investment Services, Inc.’s 24-hour Automated Investor Line at 1-800-341-2929, Option 1, or on the internet at www.invesco.com/us.

The following table summarizes the proposal (the “Proposal”) to be presented at the Meeting and the shareholders entitled to vote.

The Proposal: Election of Trustees/Directors


		Shareholders
Funds:	Nominees for Election:	Entitled to Vote


ICS, IMS, MSY, OIA, OIB, and OIC	David C. Arch, Bob R. Baker, Frank S. Bayley, Larry Soll, Philip A. Taylor, and Wayne W. Whalen	Common

IIC, IQC, IMC, IIM, IMT, PIA, IQN, IQI, and IQM	David C. Arch, Bob R. Baker, Larry Soll, Philip A. Taylor, and Wayne W. Whalen	Common and Preferred, voting together

IIC, IQC, IMC, IIM, IMT, PIA, IQN, IQI, and IQM	Frank S. Bayley	Preferred, voting separately

Voting

Shareholders of a Fund on the Record Date are entitled to one vote per Share, and a proportional vote for each fractional Share, with respect to the nominees for whom they are entitled to vote under the Proposal, with no Share having cumulative voting rights.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding Shares of a Fund present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting is required to elect each nominee for Trustee/Director of such Fund designated to be elected by the holders of the outstanding Shares of such Fund. The affirmative vote of a majority of the Preferred Shares of a Fund present at the Meeting in person or by proxy and

entitled to vote at the Meeting is required to elect a nominee for Trustee/Director of such Fund designated to be elected by the holders of the Preferred Shares of each such Fund.

The Board of each Fund recommends that you cast your vote FOR ALL of the nominees.

All Shares represented by properly executed proxies received prior to the Meeting will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon. Proxies on which no vote is indicated will be voted “FOR” each nominee as to whom they are entitled to be voted. Proxies marked “WITHHOLD” will not be voted “FOR” the indicated nominee, but will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, and will therefore have the same effect as a vote “against” a nominee. A majority of the outstanding Shares of a Fund entitled to vote must be present in person or by proxy to have a quorum for such Fund to conduct business at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not count as votes in favor of the Proposal, but will be deemed to be present at the Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum. Broker non-votes arise when shares are held in “street name” by brokers who have discretion to vote on one proposal, but who have not received instructions with respect to a non-discretionary proposal from the beneficial owners or other persons entitled to vote. Beneficial owners who do not provide proxy instructions or who do not return a proxy card may have their shares voted by their brokers in favor of the Proposal. Because the only proposal is for the election of Trustees/Directors, the Funds do not expect to receive any abstentions or broker non-votes.

Shareholders who execute proxies may revoke them at any time before they are voted by filing with the respective Fund a written notice of revocation, by delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the Meeting and voting in person. Shareholders who wish to vote at the Meeting and who hold their shares in “street name” through a brokerage or similar account should obtain a “legal proxy” from their broker in order to vote at the Meeting.

The Funds know of no business other than the proposals described in this Proxy Statement that will, or are proposed to, be presented for consideration at the Meeting. If any other matters are properly presented, the persons named on the enclosed proxy cards shall vote proxies in accordance with their best judgment. If a quorum is not present at the Meeting, it may be adjourned by the Chairman (for each Fund except MSY and PIT) or by a majority of the votes present or represented by proxy, to allow additional solicitations of proxies in order to attain a quorum. The shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting will also have the power to adjourn the Meeting from time to time if the vote required to approve or reject any proposal described in the original notice of the Meeting is not obtained (with proxies being voted for or against adjournment consistent with the votes for and against the proposal for which the required vote has not been obtained). The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Shares then present in person or represented by proxy shall be required to adjourn the Meeting.

Investment Adviser

The investment adviser for each Fund is Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser”). The Adviser is a wholly owned subsidiary of Invesco Ltd. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, GA 30309. The Adviser and its predecessors have been investment advisers since 1976. The Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to each Fund, pursuant to which these affiliated sub-advisers may be appointed by the Adviser from time to time to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Funds. These affiliated sub-advisers, each of which is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, are Invesco Asset Management Deutschland Gmbh, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (each a “Sub-Adviser” and, collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”). The Adviser and each Sub-Adviser are indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Invesco Ltd.

Other Service Providers

Each Fund has entered into a master administrative services agreement with the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser performs or arranges for the provision of accounting and other administrative services to each Fund which are not required to be performed by the Adviser under its investment advisory agreement with each Fund. The custodian for each Fund is State Street Bank and Trust Company, One Lincoln Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02111. The transfer agent for each Fund is Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43078, Providence, Rhode Island 02940-3078.

THE PROPOSAL:

ELECTION OF TRUSTEES/DIRECTORS

Six Trustees/Directors are to be elected by the shareholders of each Fund at the Meeting. All nominees have consented to being named in this Joint Proxy Statement and have agreed to serve if elected.

With respect to ICS, IMS, MSY, OIA, OIB, and OIC, holders of Common Shares will vote with respect to the election of David C. Arch, Bob R. Baker, Frank S. Bayley, Larry Soll, Philip A. Taylor, and Wayne W. Whalen.

With respect to IIC, IQC, IMC, IIM, IMT, PIA, IQN, IQI, and IQM, holders of Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, will vote with respect to the election of Frank S. Bayley, while holders of Common Shares and holders of Preferred Shares will vote together with respect to David C. Arch, Bob R. Baker, Larry Soll, Philip A. Taylor, and Wayne W. Whalen.

If elected, each nominee will serve until the later of such Fund’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2014 or until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified. As in the past, only one class of Trustees/Directors is being submitted to shareholders of each Fund for election at the Meeting. The Declaration of Trust or Articles of Incorporation, as applicable, of each Fund provides that the Board shall be divided into three classes, which must be as nearly equal in number as possible. For each Fund, the Trustees/Directors of only one class are elected at each annual meeting, so that the regular term of only one class of Trustees/Directors will expire annually and any particular Trustee/Director stands for election only once in each three-year period. This type of classification may prevent replacement of a majority of Trustees/Directors of a Fund for up to a two-year period. The foregoing is subject to the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), applicable state law based on the state of organization of each Fund, each Fund’s Declaration of Trust or Articles of Incorporation, as applicable, and each Fund’s Bylaws.

The group of Trustees/Directors up for election in any given year are the same for each Fund. The following table indicates the Trustees/Directors in each such group and the period for which each group currently serves:


Group I*	Group II**	Group III***

Albert R. Dowden	David C. Arch	James T. Bunch
Prema Mathai-Davis	Bob R. Baker	Bruce L. Crockett
Hugo F. Sonnenschein	Frank S. Bayley	Rod Dammeyer
Raymond Stickel, Jr.	Larry Soll	Jack M. Fields
	Philip A. Taylor	Martin L. Flanagan
	Wayne W. Whalen	Carl Frischling


*		Currently serving until the year 2013 Annual Meeting or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified.

**		To serve until the year 2014 Annual Meeting or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified.

***		Currently serving until the year 2012 Annual Meeting or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified.

Although each Fund votes on the same Trustees/Directors at the same time, the classification by which each Fund refers to such groups is different. IIC, IQC, IMC, IIM, MSY, OIC, IQN, and IQM classify Group I above as Class I, Group II above as Class II, and Group III above as Class III. OIB classifies Group I above as Class II, Group II above as Class III, and Group III above as Class I. ICS, IMS, IMT, IQI, OIA, and PIA classify Group I above as Class III, Group II above as Class I, and Group III above as Class II.

Information Regarding the Trustees/Directors

The business and affairs of the Funds are managed under the direction of the Board. The tables below list the incumbent Trustees/Directors and nominees for Trustee/Director, their principal occupations, other directorships held by them during the past five years, and any affiliations with the Adviser or its affiliates. The term “Fund Complex” includes each of the investment companies advised by the Adviser as of the Record Date. Trustees/Directors of the Funds generally serve three-year terms or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The address of each Trustee/Director is 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board will be composed of sixteen Trustees/Directors, including thirteen Trustees/Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Funds, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (collectively, the “Independent Trustees/Directors” and each an “Independent Trustee/Director”). In addition to eight regularly scheduled meetings per year, the Board holds special meetings or informal conference calls to discuss specific matters that may require action prior to the next regular meeting. The Board met nine times during the twelve months ended February 28, 2011. As discussed below, the Board has established committees to assist the Board in performing its oversight responsibilities.

The Board has appointed an Independent Trustee/Director to serve in the role of Chairman. The Chairman’s primary role is to participate in the preparation of the agenda for meetings of the Board and the identification of information to be presented to the Board and matters to be acted upon by the Board. The Chairman also presides at all meetings of the Board and acts as a liaison with service providers, officers, attorneys, and other Trustees/Directors generally between meetings. The Chairman may perform such other functions as may be requested by the Board from time to time. Except for any duties specified herein or pursuant to a Fund’s charter documents, the designation of Chairman does not impose on such Independent Trustee/Director any duties, obligations or liability that is greater than the duties, obligations or liability otherwise imposed on such person as a member of the Board.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

The Board considers risk management issues as part of its general oversight responsibilities throughout the year at regular meetings of the Investments, Audit, Compliance and Valuation, Distribution and Proxy Oversight Committees (as defined and further described below). These Committees in turn report to the full Board and recommend actions and approvals for the full Board to take.

Invesco prepares regular reports that address certain investment, valuation and compliance matters, and the Board as a whole or the Committees may also receive special written reports or presentations on a variety of risk issues at the request of the Board, a Committee or the Senior Officer. In addition, the Audit Committee of the Board meets regularly with Invesco Ltd.’s internal audit group to review reports on their examinations of functions and processes within the Adviser that affect the Funds.

The Investments Committee and its sub-committees receive regular written reports describing and analyzing the investment performance of the Funds. In addition, the portfolio managers of the Funds meet regularly with the sub-committees of the Investment Committee to discuss portfolio performance, including investment risk, such as the impact on the Funds of the investment in particular securities or instruments, such as derivatives. To the extent that a Fund changes a particular investment strategy that could have a material impact on the Fund’s risk profile, the Board generally is consulted in advance with respect to such change.

The Adviser provides regular written reports to the Valuation, Distribution and Proxy Oversight Committee that enable the Committee to monitor the number of fair valued securities in a particular portfolio, the reasons for the fair valuation and the methodology used to arrive at the fair value. Such reports also include information concerning illiquid securities within a Fund’s portfolio. In addition, the Audit Committee reviews valuation procedures and pricing results with the Fund’s independent auditors in connection with such Committee’s review of the results of the audit of the Fund’s year end financial statement.

The Compliance Committee receives regular compliance reports prepared by the Adviser’s compliance group and meets regularly with the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) to discuss compliance issues, including compliance risks. As required under U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules, the Independent Trustees/Directors meet at least quarterly in executive session with the CCO, and the Fund’s CCO prepares and presents an annual written compliance report to the Board. The Compliance Committee recommends and the Board adopts compliance policies and procedures for the Fund and approves such procedures for the Fund’s service providers. The compliance policies and procedures are specifically designed to detect, prevent and correct violations of the federal securities laws.

Remuneration of Trustees/Directors

Each Trustee/Director who is not an employee or officer of the Adviser is compensated for his or her services according to a fee schedule that recognizes the fact that such Trustee/Director also serves as a Trustee/Director of other Invesco Funds. Each such Trustee/Director receives a fee, allocated among the Invesco Funds for which he or she serves as a Trustee/Director, that consists of an annual retainer component and a meeting fee component. The Chair of the Board and Chairs and Vice Chairs of certain committees receive additional compensation for their services.

The Trustees/Directors have adopted a retirement plan for the Trustees/Directors who are not employees of the Adviser, which is secured by the Funds. The Trustees/Directors also have adopted a retirement policy that permits each non-Invesco-affiliated Trustee/Director to serve until December 31 of the year in which the Trustee/Director turns 75. A majority of the Trustees/Directors may extend from time to time the retirement date of a Trustee/Director.

Annual retirement benefits are available from the Funds and/or the other Invesco Funds for which a Trustee/Director serves (each, a “Covered Fund”), for each Trustee/Director who is not an employee or officer of the Adviser, who became a Trustee/Director prior to December 1, 2008, and who has at least five years of credited service as a Trustee/Director (including service to a predecessor fund) of a Covered Fund. Effective January 1, 2006, for retirements after December 31, 2005, the retirement benefits will equal 75% of the Trustee’s/Director’s annual retainer paid to or accrued by any Covered Fund with respect to such Trustee/Director during the twelve-month period prior to retirement, including the amount of any retainer deferred under a separate deferred compensation agreement between the Covered Fund and the Trustee/Director. The amount of the annual retirement benefit does not include additional compensation paid for Board meeting fees or compensation paid to the Chair of the Board and the Chairs and Vice Chairs of certain Board committees, whether such amounts are paid directly to the Trustee/Director or deferred. The annual retirement benefit is payable in quarterly installments for a number of years equal to the lesser of (i) sixteen years or (ii) the number of such Trustee’s/Director’s credited years of service. If a Trustee/Director dies prior to receiving the full amount of retirement benefits, the remaining payments will be made to the deceased Trustee’s/Director’s designated beneficiary for the same length of time that the Trustee/Director would have received the payments based on his or her service or, if the Trustee/Director has elected, in a discounted lump sum payment. A Trustee/Director must have attained the age of 65 (60 in the event of death or disability) to receive any retirement benefit. A Trustee/Director may make an irrevocable election to commence payment of retirement benefits upon retirement from the Board before age 72; in such a case, the annual retirement benefit is subject to a reduction for early payment.

Deferred Compensation Agreements. Edward K. Dunn (a former Trustee/Director of funds in the Invesco fund complex), Messrs. Crockett, Fields and Frischling, and Drs. Mathai-Davis and Soll (for purposes of this paragraph only, the “Deferring Trustees/Directors”) have each executed a Deferred Compensation Agreement (collectively, the “Compensation Agreements”). Pursuant to the Compensation Agreements, the Deferring Trustees/Directors have the option to elect to defer receipt of up to 100% of their compensation payable by the Funds, and such amounts are placed into a deferral account and deemed to be invested in one or more Invesco Funds selected by the Deferring Trustees/Directors. Distributions from these deferral accounts will be paid in cash, generally in equal quarterly installments over a period of up to ten (10) years (depending on the Compensation Agreement) beginning on the date selected under the Compensation Agreement. If a Deferring Trustee/Director dies prior to the distribution of amounts in his or her deferral account, the balance of the deferral account will be distributed to his or her designated beneficiary. The Compensation Agreements are not funded and, with respect to the payments of amounts held in the deferral accounts, the Deferring Trustees/Directors have the status of unsecured creditors of the Funds and of each other Invesco Fund from which they are deferring compensation.

Information on the compensation of the Trustees/Directors is included in Annex B.

Shareholder Information

The persons who, according to publicly available filings with the SEC, held of record more than 5% of the Common Shares or Preferred Shares of a Fund as of May 27, 2011 are set forth in Annex C. To the knowledge of each Fund, no other person owns, directly or beneficially, 5% or more of the Common Shares or Preferred Shares of any Fund. As of May 27, 2011, no Trustee/Director or executive officer owned, directly or beneficially, Common Shares or Preferred Shares of any Fund. As of May 27, 2011, each Trustee/Director beneficially owned equity securities of other funds in the Invesco Fund Complex overseen by the Trustees/Directors in the dollar range amounts specified in Annex D.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 30(f) of the 1940 Act and Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, require each of the Funds’ Trustees/Directors, officers, and investment advisers, affiliated persons of the investment advisers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of a Fund’s equity securities to file forms with the SEC and the exchange on which they are listed, reporting their affiliation with the Fund and reports of ownership and changes in ownership of Fund Shares. These persons and entities are required by

SEC regulations to furnish the Fund with copies of all such forms they file. Based on a review of these forms furnished to each Fund, each Fund believes that during its last fiscal year, its Trustees/Directors, its officers, the Adviser and affiliated persons of the Adviser complied with the applicable filing requirements.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of each Fund, including a majority of the Independent Trustees/Directors, appointed, effective June 1, 2010, PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of each Fund. Each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm prior to May 31, 2010 was Deloitte & Touche LLP (“D&T” or the “Prior Auditor”). The audit committee of each Fund recommended and approved the decision to change each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm and such decision was approved by each Fund’s Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees/Directors, in connection with the change in control of the Fund’s investment adviser, and the Adviser becoming investment adviser to each Fund (“Change in Control”). The Change in Control resulted in the Prior Auditor being prohibited from being engaged by the Funds as independent registered public accountants for the Funds’ fiscal years ended after May 31, 2010 because of certain business relationships between the accountants and certain affiliates of the Funds’ new investment adviser, the Adviser, or its affiliated companies that are not permitted under the auditor independence requirements in Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. The Funds’ Board believes that there are operational efficiencies in having one auditor for all Invesco Funds.

Concurrent with the effective date of the Change in Control, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of each Fund.

The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of each Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report for any Fund.

Audit and Other Fees

The Adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Funds (“Covered Entities”), were billed the amounts listed in Annex E by PwC and the Prior Auditor during each Fund’s stub fiscal year ended February 28, 2011 and the two prior fiscal years.

The audit committee of each Board has considered whether the provision of non-audit services performed by PwC to the Funds and Covered Entities is compatible with maintaining PwC’s independence in performing audit services. The audit committee also is required to pre-approve services to Covered Entities to the extent that the services are determined to have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the Funds and 100% of such services were pre-approved by the audit committee pursuant to the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures. The Board’s pre-approval policies and procedures are included as part of the Board’s audit committee charter, which is available at www.invesco.com/us.

The Audit Committee of each Fund reviewed and discussed the last audited financial statements of each Fund with management and with PwC. In the course of its discussions, the Audit Committee discussed with PwC any relevant matters required to be discussed under Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61. Based on this review, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of each Fund that each Fund’s audited financial statements be included in each Fund’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the most recent fiscal year for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from PwC required under Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Ethics & Independence Rule 3526 and has discussed with PwC its independence with respect to each Fund. Each Fund knows of no direct financial or material indirect financial interest of PwC in the Fund. As disclosed above, the members of the Audit Committee are currently Messrs. David C. Arch, Frank S. Bayley, James T. Bunch, Bruce L. Crockett, Rodney Dammeyer (Vice Chair), Raymond Stickel, Jr. (Chair) and Dr. Larry Soll.

It is not expected that representatives of PwC will attend the Meeting. In the event representatives of PwC do attend the Meeting, they will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to answer appropriate questions.

Expenses

The expenses of preparing, printing and mailing these proxy solicitation materials and all other costs in connection with the solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Funds. To the extent the expenses are not billed by a Fund, they will be allocated among the Funds. The Funds will also reimburse banks, brokers and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owners of the shares of the Funds. In order to obtain the necessary quorum at the Meeting, additional solicitations may be made by mail, telephone, telegraph, facsimile or personal interview by representatives of the Funds, the Adviser or its affiliates, by the transfer agents of the Funds and by dealers or their representatives. The Funds have also retained The Altman Group, Inc. (“The Altman Group”), a professional proxy solicitation firm, to assist in any additional proxy solicitation. As the date of the Meeting approaches, certain shareholders may receive a telephone call from a representative of The Altman Group if their votes have not yet been received. The estimated cost of solicitation by The Altman Group is approximately $1,500 per Fund.

Shareholder Proposals

Shareholder proposals intended to be presented at the year 2012 annual meeting of shareholders for a Fund pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), must be received by the Fund’s Secretary at the Fund’s principal executive offices by February 6, 2012, in order to be considered for inclusion in the Fund’s proxy statement and proxy card relating to that meeting. Timely submission of a proposal does not necessarily mean that such proposal will be included in the Fund’s proxy statement. If a shareholder wishes to make a proposal at the year 2012 annual meeting of shareholders without having the proposal included in a Fund’s proxy statement, then such proposal must be received by the Fund’s Secretary at the Fund’s principal executive offices not earlier than April 13, 2012 and not later than May 15, 2012. Any shareholder who wishes to submit a proposal for consideration at a meeting of such shareholder’s Fund should send such proposal to the respective Fund’s Secretary at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309, Attn: Secretary.

General

Management of each Fund does not intend to present, and does not have reason to believe that others will present, any other items of business at the Meeting. However, if other matters are properly presented to the Meeting for a vote, the proxies will be voted upon such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons acting under the proxies.

Failure of a quorum to be present at the Meeting for any Fund may necessitate adjournment and may subject such Fund to additional expense.

If you cannot be present in person, you are requested to fill in, sign and return the enclosed proxy card(s), for which no postage is required if mailed in the United States, or record your voting instructions by telephone or via the internet promptly.
