Supplement to Prospectuses of Above Funds
Dates of Which Are Indicated in Parenthesis
The Section of the above Funds' Prospectuses entitled "How to Buy Shares
Distribution Expenses" or "How Shares Can Be Purchased - Distribution Expenses"
is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
Distribution Expenses. The/Each Fund is authorized under a Plan and
Agreement of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "Plan") to use its assets to finance certain
activities relating to the distribution of its shares to investors. Under
the Plan, monthly payments may be made by the Fund to IFG/INVESCO to
permit it, at IFG's/INVESCO's discretion, to engage in certain activities,
and provide certain services approved by the board of directors in
connection with the distribution of the Fund's shares to investors.
<PAGE>
These activities and services may include the payment of compensation
(including incentive compensation and/or continuing compensation based on
the amount of customer assets maintained in the Fund) to securities
dealers and other financial institutions and organizations, which may
include IFG/INVESCO affiliated companies, to obtain various
distribution-related and/or administrative services for the Fund. Such
services may include, among other things, processing new shareholder
account applications, preparing and transmitting to the Fund's Transfer
Agent computer processable tapes of all transactions by customers, and
serving as the primary source of information to customers in answering
questions concerning the Fund and their transactions with the Fund.
In addition, other permissible activities and services include
advertising, the preparation and distribution of sales literature,
printing and distributing prospectuses to prospective investors, and such
other services and promotional activities for the Fund(s) as may from time
to time be agreed upon by the Company/Fund and its board of directors,
including public relations efforts and marketing programs to communicate
with investors and prospective investors. These services and activities
may be conducted by the staff of IFG/INVESCO or its affiliates or by third
parties.
Under the Plan, the Company's/Fund's payments to IFG/INVESCO on
behalf of the/each Fund are limited to an amount computed at an annual
rate of 0.25% of the/each Fund's average net assets during the month.
IFG/INVESCO is not entitled to payment for overhead expenses under the
Plan, but may be paid for all or a portion of the compensation paid for
salaries and other employee benefits for the personnel of IFG/INVESCO
whose primary responsibilities involve marketing shares of the IFG/INVESCO
funds, including the Fund(s). Payment amounts by the/each Fund under the
Plan, for any month, may be made to compensate IFG/INVESCO for permissible
activities engaged in and services provided by IFG/INVESCO during the
rolling 12-month period in which that month falls, although this period is
expanded to 24 months for obligations incurred during the first 24 months
of the/each Fund's operations. Therefore, any obligations incurred by
IFG/INVESCO in excess of the limitations described above will not be paid
by the Fund(s) under the Plan, and will be borne by IFG/INVESCO. In
addition, IFG/INVESCO may from time to time make additional payments from
its revenues to securities dealers and other financial institutions that
provide distribution-related and/or administrative services for the
Fund(s). No further payments will be made by the Fund(s) under the Plan in
the event of its termination. Also, any payments made by the Fund(s) may
not be used to finance directly the distribution of shares of any other
fund of the Company/Fund or other mutual fund advised by IFG/INVESCO.
Payments made by the/each Fund under the Plan for compensation of
marketing personnel, as noted above, are based on an allocation formula
designed to ensure that all such payments are appropriate.
The date of this Supplement is February 21, 1997.
