OF AIM FUNDS" on page 54 of the Statement of Additional Information:

                  "In addition to, or instead of, amounts paid to dealers as a
         sales commission, AIM Distributors may, from time to time, at its
         expense or as an expense for which it may be compensated under a
         distribution plan, if applicable, pay a bonus or other consideration or
         incentive to dealers. At the option of the dealer, such incentives may
         take the form of payment for travel expenses, including lodging,
         incurred in connection with trips taken by qualifying registered
         representatives and their families to places within or outside the
         United States. The total amount of such additional bonus payments or
         other consideration shall not exceed 0.25% of the public offering price
         of the shares sold or of average daily net assets of the AIM Fund
         attributable to that particular dealer. Any

         such bonus or incentive programs will not change the price paid by
         investors for the purchase of the applicable AIM Fund's shares or the
         amount that any particular AIM Fund will receive as proceeds from such
         sales. Dealers may not use sales of the AIM Funds' shares to qualify
         for any incentives to the extent that such incentives may be prohibited
         by the laws of any state."
