to which AIM Worldwide Growth Fund ("Worldwide Growth Fund"), a series of AIM
Growth Series, would transfer substantially all of its assets to AIM Global

The Plan requires the approval of Worldwide Growth Fund shareholders
and will be submitted to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting
to be held in February 1999. If the Plan is approved by shareholders of

satisfied, the transaction is expected to become effective before the end of
February 1999.
