                        NOTICE OF PROPOSED REORGANIZATION


     NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that VAN KAMPEN MUNICIPAL OPPORTUNITY TRUST II
("MUNICIPAL OPPORTUNITY TRUST II") and VAN KAMPEN VALUE MUNICIPAL INCOME TRUST
("VALUE MUNICIPAL INCOME TRUST") are scheduled to reorganize into VAN KAMPEN
ADVANTAGE MUNICIPAL INCOME TRUST II (the "Acquiring Fund") after the close of
business on JANUARY 27, 2006.

     The Acquiring Fund currently has two series of auction preferred shares
("APS"). After the reorganization is completed, the Acquiring Fund will have ten
series of APS: (i) the Acquiring Fund's existing APS will comprise Series A APS
and Series B APS, (ii) the Acquiring Fund will issue three new series of APS
("Acquiring Fund Series C APS", "Acquiring Fund Series D APS" and "Acquiring
Fund Series E APS") in exchange for Municipal Opportunity Trust II's existing
APS ("Municipal Opportunity Trust II Series A APS", "Municipal Opportunity Trust
II Series B APS" and Municipal Opportunity Trust II Series C APS",
respectively), and (iii) the Acquiring Fund will issue five new series of APS
("Acquiring Fund Series F APS", "Acquiring Fund Series G APS", "Acquiring Fund
Series H APS", "Acquiring Fund Series I APS" and "Acquiring Fund Series J APS")
in exchange for Value Municipal Income Trust's existing APS ("Value Municipal
Income Trust Series A APS", "Value Municipal Income Trust Series B APS", "Value
Municipal Income Trust Series C APS", "Value Municipal Income Trust Series D
APS" and "Value Municipal Income Trust Series E APS"). The number of days in the
regular dividend period for Acquiring Fund Series C APS, Acquiring Fund Series D
APS and Acquiring Fund Series E APS will remain the same as the existing APS for
Municipal Opportunity Trust II Series A APS, Municipal Opportunity Trust II
Series B APS and Municipal Opportunity Trust II Series C APS, respectively
(i.e., an auction for Acquiring Fund Series C APS, Acquiring Fund Series D APS
and Acquiring Fund Series E APS will occur every 7 days, unless the Acquiring
Fund declares a special dividend period). The number of days in the regular
dividend period for Acquiring Fund Series F APS, Acquiring Fund Series G APS,

Series J APS will remain the same as the existing APS for Value Municipal Income
Trust Series A APS, Value Municipal Income Trust Series B APS, Value Municipal
Income Trust Series C APS, Value Municipal Income Trust Series D APS and Value
Municipal Income Trust Series E APS, respectively (i.e., an auction for
Acquiring Fund Series F APS and Acquiring Fund Series J APS will occur every 7
