     Voyageur Fund Managers,  Inc. ("Voyageur") serves as investment adviser for
the  above-captioned  mutual  funds  ("Voyageur  Funds").  On January  15,  1997
Voyageur's  parent,  Dougherty  Financial  Group,  Inc.  ("DFG"),   executed  an
Agreement and Plan of Merger  ("Agreement")  with Lincoln  National  Corporation
("LNC")  pursuant  to which LNC would  acquire  DFG,  including  the mutual fund
investment advisory business of DFG conducted by Voyageur.

     LNC,  headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana, owns and operates insurance and
investment management businesses,  including Delaware Management Holdings,  Inc.
("DMH").  Affiliates of Delaware  Management  Holdings,  Inc.  serve as adviser,
distributor  and transfer  agent for the  Delaware  Group of Mutual  Funds.  The
Delaware  Group of Mutual  Funds,  consisting  of  approximately  $11 billion in
assets, includes 38 retail open-end funds and two closed-end funds.

     It is anticipated that certain portfolio  managers and marketing  personnel
currently serving,  or with prior service to, the Voyageur Funds denoted with an
asterisk  above  (in  particular,   portfolio  managers  Beth  Howell  and  Drew
McCullagh)  will  continue  to serve  those  Funds  following  the  transaction.
Voyageur  Funds  not  so  denoted  may be  managed  by  personnel  of DMH or its
affiliates  following  the  transaction  and certain  Voyageur  Funds  (National
Insured Tax Free Fund,  National  Limited Term Tax Free Fund,  National Tax Free
Fund, Growth and Income Fund and  International  Equity Fund) may be merged with
corresponding  Delaware Group mutual funds following the  transaction.  Any such
merger  would   require   approval  of  such  fund's  board  of  directors   and
shareholders.

     Consummation of the transaction will cause a change in control of Voyageur.
Under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940,  as amended,  this will result in an
"assignment"  and automatic  termination of the Funds'  investment  advisory and
distribution agreements with Voyageur.  Therefore,  the Voyageur Funds' Board of
Directors  and  Trustees  ("Board")  will be asked  to  approve  new  investment
advisory and distribution  agreements  containing the same terms and fees as the
current agreements. If the Board approves these agreements,  the Board will call
a shareholder  meeting of the Voyageur Funds at which  shareholders will vote on
new investment advisory agreements and Board members.
