Back to Questions
<PAGE> 4
WHY DID I RECEIVE MULTIPLE PROXIES?
Each proxy statement relates to a particular fund or group of funds, and each
fund has different proposals. You may receive multiple mailings, depending on
which funds you own, or you may receive one mailing even though you own more
than one fund. Each mailing contains proxy cards for the fund(s) you own and are
entitled to vote.
Back to Questions
HOW DOES THE BOARD RECOMMEND THAT I VOTE?
The board recommends that you vote FOR all the proposals on the proxy card.
Back to Questions
WHY SHOULD I VOTE?
Every vote is important. If shareholders fail to vote their proxies, a fund may
not receive enough votes to go forward with the May 31st shareholder meeting. If
this happens, the fund may have to make extra solicitations to obtain a quorum
or resend proxies to shareholders, incurring unnecessary additional costs.
Back to Questions
HAS AIM CONTRACTED FOR THE SERVICES OF A PROXY SOLICITOR?
Yes, AIM has hired Shareholder Communications Corporation as its proxy
solicitor. If we do not receive your vote after a reasonable amount of time, you
may receive a telephone call from them reminding you to vote your shares.
Back to Questions
WILL MY VOTE BE CONFIDENTIAL USING THE ONLINE PROXY VOTING SYSTEM?
The Web proxy voting system offered by Proxycard.com maintains a high level of
security to ensure the confidentiality of your vote. Security features include:
o SECURE SOCKETS LAYER (SSL) - A security measure that encrypts all
information that travels between ProxyCard.com's Web server and the
shareholder's computer.
o CONTROL NUMBER - Each shareholder is required to enter his or her
12-digit control number. ProxyCard.com verifies the number and
presents the holder with the appropriate proxy card for his or her
fund(s).
<PAGE> 5
o FIREWALL - To protect the confidentiality of your account records,
ProxyCard.com uses only control numbers and card codes to register
votes. Voted positions are then periodically uploaded to our master
database of shareholders listed as of the record date. All
account-specific data remain behind our firewall.
Back to Questions
HOW DO I SIGN THE PROXY CARD?
(DOES NOT APPLY IF VOTING BY PHONE OR INTERNET)
o INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS: Shareholders should sign exactly as their names
appear in the account registration shown on the proxy card.
o JOINT ACCOUNTS: All joint owners should sign exactly as their names
appear in the registration.
o ALL OTHER ACCOUNTS: The person signing must indicate his or her

Debt Fund seeks high current income with a secondary objective of
growth of capital. AIM Developing Markets Fund seeks long-term growth
of capital with a secondary objective of income.
o To achieve its objective, AIM Developing Markets Fund has a broader
investment mandate, with the ability to invest more extensively in
equity securities. AIM Developing Markets Fund may also invest up to
50% of its assets in developing market debt securities, although it
primarily invests in equity securities.
o AIM Developing Markets Fund has superior recent performance compared
to AIM Emerging Markets Debt Fund.
o Though the expense ratio of AIM Developing Markets Fund is higher than
that of AIM Emerging Markets Debt Fund, the expense ratio is expected

We encourage you to read the proxy statement in full; however, the following
represent some typical questions that shareholders may have regarding the proxy
statement.
GENERAL QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

o Will my vote be confidential using the online proxy voting system?
o How do I sign the proxy card?
o What is the deadline for voting?
HOW DO I VOTE?
Voting may take place in the following ways:
o You may vote your shares at https://www.proxycard.com/aim2/ unless

Back to Questions
<PAGE> 33
WHY DID I RECEIVE MULTIPLE PROXIES?
Each proxy statement relates to a particular fund or group of funds, and each
fund has different proposals. You may receive multiple mailings, depending on
which funds you own, or you may receive one mailing even though you own more
than one fund. Each mailing contains proxy cards for the fund(s) you own and are
entitled to vote.
Back to Questions
HOW DOES THE BOARD RECOMMEND THAT I VOTE?
The board recommends that you vote FOR all the proposals on the proxy card.
Back to Questions
WHY SHOULD I VOTE?
Every vote is important. If shareholders fail to vote their proxies, a fund may
not receive enough votes to go forward with the May 31st shareholder meeting. If
this happens, the fund may have to make extra solicitations to obtain a quorum
or resend proxies to shareholders, incurring unnecessary additional costs.
Back to Questions
HAS AIM CONTRACTED FOR THE SERVICES OF A PROXY SOLICITOR?
Yes, AIM has hired Shareholder Communications Corporation as its proxy
solicitor. If we do not receive your vote after a reasonable amount of time, you
may receive a telephone call from them reminding you to vote your shares.
Back to Questions
WILL MY VOTE BE CONFIDENTIAL USING THE ONLINE PROXY VOTING SYSTEM?
The Web proxy voting system offered by Proxycard.com maintains a high level of
security to ensure the confidentiality of your vote. Security features include:
o SECURE SOCKETS LAYER (SSL) - A security measure that encrypts all
information that travels between ProxyCard.com's Web server and the
shareholder's computer.
o CONTROL NUMBER - Each shareholder is required to enter his or her
12-digit control number. ProxyCard.com verifies the number and
presents the holder with the appropriate proxy card for his or her
fund(s).
<PAGE> 34
o FIREWALL - To protect the confidentiality of your account records,
ProxyCard.com uses only control numbers and card codes to register
votes. Voted positions are then periodically uploaded to our master
database of shareholders listed as of the record date. All
account-specific data remain behind our firewall.
Back to Questions
HOW DO I SIGN THE PROXY CARD?
(DOES NOT APPLY IF VOTING BY PHONE OR INTERNET)
o INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS: Shareholders should sign exactly as their names
appear in the account registration shown on the proxy card.
o JOINT ACCOUNTS: All joint owners should sign exactly as their names
appear in the registration.
o ALL OTHER ACCOUNTS: The person signing must indicate his or her
capacity. For example, if Jane A. Doe is a trustee for a trust or
other entity, she should sign, "Jane A. Doe, Trustee."
Back to Questions
WHAT IS THE DEADLINE FOR VOTING?
All votes must be received before or at the Shareholder Meeting, which will be
held at 3:00 P.M. Central time May 31, 2000.
