RIVERFRONT FUNDS
INTRODUCTION
Hello, my name is __________. I'm calling from DF King on behalf of the
Riverfront Funds. May I please speak with ________ ?
The Directors of The Riverfront Funds mailed you proxy material concerning the
upcoming meeting of shareholders, which is scheduled to be held on August 7,
1998. I'm calling to find out if you have received these materials. Do you have
a moment?
Have you received the proxy materials in the mail?
If not, then help the shareholder obtain the material he required. If a NOBO,
he should contact his broker. If registered, we will send the materials
directly. In either case, make sure the address is correct, make any
necessary corrections, and code the disposition as "14" or "15".
Are you familiar with the proposal? Do you have any questions?
Take time to answer all questions carefully. Do not give advice. Remind the
shareholder that his Board of Directors has recommended that he vote in favor
of the proposal. Most questions can be addressed by referring to the proxy
statement and reading the appropriate sections.
At your earliest convenience, please vote by signing and dating the proxy card
you received, and returning it in the envelope provided. If you like, I can
record your vote over the telephone right now, Okay?
Allow the person to give you a response. If the person says he has already
sent in the proxy, do not ask how he/she voted.
Here's how we'll proceed. We'll record this phone call. I'll ask you for your
name, confirmation of receipt of the materials, your address and the last 4
digits of your social security number. Then we'll take your vote. Within 72
hours, we'll mail you a letter confirming your vote, which will tell you how to
make any changes you wish. Are you ready?
Depending on answer, TAB down and hit either "y" or "N".
BEGIN THE VOTE
Turn on the tape recorder.
At this time, I'll begin recording the call. First, I'll reintroduce myself.
My name is ________ , calling from DF King & Co. on behalf of The Riverfront
Funds. Today's date is ________ and the time is ________.
May I please have your name?
<PAGE> 3
Have you received the proxy materials?
May I please have your address?
And finally, may I have the last 4 digits of your social security number?
Input the last 4 digits of the SSN. You may not proceed without this
information. If the shareholder refuses to give this information, explain
that it is for security purposes only, to assure that only the proper person
can vote his shares. However, if the shareholder continues to resist, you
have no choice but to politely end the call. In this case, return to the
first screen (Shift TAB) and hit "N", which will take you to the disposition
screen.
ACTUAL VOTING
Your Board of Directors has made a proposal which they have studied carefully.
They recommend that you vote in favor of the proposal. Would you like to vote in
favor of the proposal as recommended by your Board?
Hit either "Y" or "N". If you hit "Y", then the computer will fill in the
response for the proposal. If you hit "N", then you will have to input votes
one by one. If you are required to send the proposal, end the proposal by
saying, "Your Board recommends that you vote in favor. How would you like to
vote?" For this proposal, the valid response is:
F = For proposal.
A = Against proposal.
S = Abstain.
CLOSING
I have recorded your vote. You have voted ________ . Is that correct?
If it is correct, then hit "Y". If you hit "Y" at this point, it is too late
not to vote. Do not hit this "Y" unless you are absolutely certain that the
shareholder intends to vote. If it is not correct, then hit "N". The cursor
will return to the top of the ballot and allow you to make corrections.
In the next 72 hours, we will mail you a letter confirming your vote. If you
wish to change your vote for any reason, please call us at the phone number
listed in the letter. Thank you for your time.
Turn off the tape recorder. Record the shareholder's name and number of
shares on your log. Finish the phone call. If you get a verbal vote, the only
valid disposition is "01". If you do not get a verbal vote, then you may use
any valid disposition except "01".
