EXHIBIT (A)(29)
IVY FUND
Ivy International Fund
Establishment and Designation of Additional
Class of Shares of Beneficial Interest,
No Par Value Per Share
I, James W. Broadfoot, being a duly elected, qualified and acting
Trustee of Ivy Fund (the "Trust"), a business trust organized under the laws of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, DO HEREBY CERTIFY that, by Written Consent
dated June 27, 2000, the Trustees of the Trust (the "Trustees"), pursuant to
Article III and Article IV of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the
Trust dated December 21, 1983, as amended and restated December 10, 1992 (the
"Declaration of Trust"), duly approved, adopted and consented to the following
resolutions as actions of the Trustees of the Trust:
WHEREAS, Ivy International Fund (the "Fund") currently has an unlimited
number of authorized and unissued shares of beneficial interest
designated as "Class A," "Class B," "Class C" and "Class I"; and
WHEREAS, the Trustees have decided to divide the shares of beneficial
interest of the Fund into an additional class, no par value per share;
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY:
RESOLVED, that the shares of beneficial interest of the Fund are hereby
divided into one additional class, no par value per share, to be
designated as the "Advisor Class," of which there shall hereby be
designated an unlimited number of authorized and unissued shares of
beneficial interest (the "Advisor Class Shares");
FURTHER RESOLVED, that each Advisor Class Share of the Fund shall be
redeemable, shall represent a pro rata beneficial interest in the
assets attributable to the Advisor Class, and shall be entitled to
receive its pro rata share of net assets attributable to the Advisor
Class upon liquidation of the Fund, all as provided in or not
inconsistent with the Declaration of Trust. Each Advisor Class Share
shall have the voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights,
preferences, powers, restrictions, limitations, qualifications, terms
and conditions as each other share of the Trust, as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust;
FURTHER RESOLVED, that each Advisor Class Share of the Fund shall be
entitled to one vote (or fraction thereof in the case of a fractional
share) on matters on which such shares shall be entitled to vote.
Shareholders of the Fund shall vote together on any matter, except to
the extent otherwise required by the 1940 Act or when the Trustees have
determined that the matter affects only the interest of shareholders of
one or more classes, in which case only the shareholders of that class
(or classes) shall be entitled to vote thereon. Any matter shall be
deemed to have been effectively acted upon with respect to the Fund if
acted upon in accordance with Rule 18f-2 under the 1940 Act (or any
successor rule) and the Declaration of Trust;
FURTHER RESOLVED, that liabilities, expenses, costs, charges or
reserves that should be properly allocated to a particular class of
shares of the Fund may, in accordance with a plan previously adopted by
the Trustees pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the 1940 Act (the "Rule 18f-3
Plan"), or such similar rule under or provision or interpretation of
the 1940 Act, be charged to and borne solely by that class, and the
expenses so borne by a class may be appropriately reflected and cause
differences in the net asset value attributable to, and the dividend,
redemption and liquidation rights of, the shares of the affected class,
the other classes of the Fund, and the other series of the Trust;
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Trustees (including any successor Trustee)
shall have the right at any time and from time to time to reallocate
assets, liabilities and expenses or to change the designation of any
class now or hereafter created, or to otherwise change the special and
relative rights of any such class, provided that such change shall not
adversely affect the rights of shareholders of that class; and
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the preceding resolutions shall constitute an
Amendment to the Declaration of Trust, effective as of the date that
the Registration Statement pertaining to the Advisor Class Shares
described in the following resolution is filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and that the officers of the Trust be, and
they hereby are, authorized to file such Amendment to the Declaration
of Trust in the offices of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have signed this Amendment this 28th day of June,
2000.
