Please note that the information regarding the required vote for Item 3, as described under "Additional Information" in the Combined Proxy Statement, is amended as follows: With respect to a Fund's Common Stock, broker-dealer firms will not be permitted to grant voting authority without instructions with respect to amending the Fund's Articles Supplementary or Certificate of Designation (Item 3). Shares of AMPS held in "street name," however, may be voted under certain conditions by broker-dealer firms with respect to Item 3 and counted for purposes of establishing a quorum if no instructions are received one business day before the Meeting, or, if adjourned, one business day before the day to which the Meeting is adjourned.

In such instances, the broker-dealer firm will vote these shares of AMPS on Item 3 in the same proportion as the votes cast by all holders of AMPS who have voted on Item 3. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated has advised the Funds that it intends to exercise discretion over shares held in its name for which no instructions have been received by voting such shares on Item 3 (with respect to AMPS only) in the same proportion as the votes received from beneficial owners of those shares for which instruction have been received, whether or not held in nominee name.
