Dear Financial Professional,

The Board of Directors of The Jensen Portfolio, Inc. (the “Fund”) would like to give you advanced notice of an upcoming Proxy mailing and solicitation campaign by the Fund to begin September 30, 2010.   This notification is to help you inform your clients that are shareholders of the Fund.  Please take a moment to view information about the special meeting of shareholders and Proxy mailing packet below.

The meeting will take place Wednesday, November 10, 2010, at 9:00 a.m. Pacific time, at 5300 Meadows Road, Suite 250, Lake Oswego, OR 97035 for the following purposes:

1.   To approve a new Investment Management Agreement between Jensen Investment Management, Inc., and the Fund.

On or about February 28, 2011, a “Change in Control” of the ownership of Jensen Investment Management, Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (“Jensen”), will be triggered by Jensen’s repurchase of all of the shares of the company owned by one of its majority shareholders, Mr. Robert Millen, concurrent with his retirement.  Under federal securities laws, this Change in Control will cause the advisory agreement between Jensen and the Fund to automatically terminate.  In order for Jensen to continue to provide investment advisory services to the Fund, a new investment advisory agreement must be approved by the Fund’s shareholders.  With the exception of Mr. Millen, the team responsible for managing the Fund is not expected to change as a result of this transaction.

2.   To elect a Board of Directors.

Shareholders will be asked to elect a Board of Directors of the Fund. The federal securities laws require that at least two-thirds of the Fund’s Directors have been elected by the shareholders before the Board may fill a vacancy. Mr. Kenneth Thrasher was appointed to the Board of Directors on July 11, 2007. By electing the entire Board now, the Board believes it will have more flexibility to add new members for a longer period without the expense of conducting additional shareholder meetings.

Attending the meeting is not necessary to cast a vote. Voting has been made very simple and can be done online, by phone or by sending in the ballot by mail.  All necessary information for voting will be enclosed in the Proxy packet.  

IT IS CRITICAL THAT PROXY VOTES ARE RECEIVED BEFORETHE MEETING. Additional solicitation efforts are costly and could delay the important business of the Fund.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.  We hope providing this information to you in advance will help you in communicating the need for the proxy and avoid the cost of further solicitation to shareholders.   Please call our proxy information line if you have any questions at 1-877-536-1562 between the hours of 9am and 10pm Eastern Time – or call us directly at 1-800-221-4384.
