                          ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DATED

                           --------------------------


Performance  figures for Class B and C shares of the Fund for the period May 31,
1994 to December 31, 1999  reflect the actual  performance  of these  classes of
shares.  Returns for Class B and C shares for the period  October 1, 1989 to May
31, 1994 are derived from the historical performance of Class A shares, adjusted
to reflect the operating expenses applicable to Class B and C shares,  which may
be higher or lower than those of Class A shares.  The  performance  figures  are
also  adjusted to reflect the maximum  sales  charge of 5.75% for Class A shares
and the  current  maximum  contingent  deferred  sales  charge of 4% for Class B
shares and 1% for Class C shares.

The returns in the chart below assume reinvestment of distributions at net asset
value  and  represent  both  actual  past   performance   figures  and  adjusted
performance  figures of the Class A shares of the Fund as described above;  they
do not guarantee  future  results.  Investment  return and principal  value will
fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less
than their original cost.

    and Class C shares.

* Because Class B and C shares were not introduced until May 31, 1994, the total
return for Class B and C shares for the period  prior to their  introduction  is
based upon the performance of Class A shares from the commencement of investment
operations,  October 1, 1989 through May 31, 1994. Actual performance of Class B
and C shares is shown beginning May 31, 1994.
