THE JOINT SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS HAS
BEEN ADJOURNED TO THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 2001
Dear Shareholder:
We are writing to inform you that the Special Meeting of Shareholders scheduled
for Wednesday, December 27, 2000 has been adjourned to Thursday, January 25,
2001 in order to give Shareholders additional time to vote their shares. The
Fund's records indicate that as of September 29, 2000, ("Record Date") you were
holding shares in one or more of the Liberty or Stein Roe fund families. As
today, we have not received your vote instructions. All votes are vital no
matter how many shares you hold and your shares cannot be voted unless we
receive your executed proxy or you are present at the meeting! We urge you to
act promptly in order to allow us to obtain a sufficient number of votes and
avoid the possibility of another meeting adjournment. In order for your vote to
be represented, we must receive your instructions on or before Wednesday,
January 24, 2001.
If you have any questions regarding the meeting agenda or the execution of your
proxy please call Shareholder Communications Corporation ("SCC"), the Fund's
proxy agent, at 1-877-518-9416.
For your convenience, we have established three easy methods by which to
register your vote:
1. By Phone: To speak with a proxy specialist call 1-877-518-9416.
Representatives are available to take your vote Monday through
Friday between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. and Saturday 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.
eastern time. Please have your proxy card available at the time
of the call.
2. By Internet: Visit www.proxyvote.com, and enter the 12-digit control number
located on your proxy card.
3. By Mail: Simply return your executed proxy in the enclosed postage paid
envelope. Please use this option only if the above methods are
unavailable, as we may not receive your executed proxy by
January 25, 2001.
DO NOT HESITATE. PLEASE VOTE TODAY!
As the date of the adjourned meeting moves closer and we still have not received
your proxy, you may receive a call from SCC reminding you to exercise your right
to vote.
Thank you in advance for your participation.
