                       Supplement dated February 25, 2000
                      to the Prospectus dated March 1,1999,
                         as revised November 5, 1999 and
              as supplemented January 24, 2000 and February 4, 2000

This supplement supersedes and replaces in its entirety the supplement dated
January 24, 2000.

At a meeting held on February 3, 2000, the Board of Directors of AIM
International Funds, Inc. (the company), on behalf of AIM Global Income Fund
(the fund), voted to request shareholders to approve the following items that
will affect the fund:

          -    An Agreement and Plan of Reorganization which provides for the
               reorganization of the company, which is currently a Maryland
               corporation, as a Delaware business trust;

          -    A new advisory agreement between the company and A I M Advisors,
               Inc. (AIM). The principal changes to the advisory agreement are
               (i) the deletion of references to the provision of administrative
               services and certain expense limitations that are no longer
               applicable, and (ii) the clarification of provisions relating to
               delegations of responsibilities and the non-exclusive nature of
               AIM's services. The revised advisory agreement does not change
               the fees paid by the fund (except that the agreement permits the
               fund to pay a fee to AIM in connection with any new securities
               lending program implemented in the future);

          -    Changing the fund's fundamental investment restrictions. The
               proposed revisions to the fund's fundamental investment
               restrictions are described in a supplement to the fund's
               statement of additional information; and

          -    Changing the fund's investment objective so that it is
               non-fundamental. The investment objective of the fund would be
               changed by deleting references to the types of securities that
               the fund will purchase to achieve its objective of long-term
               growth of capital. If the investment objective of the fund
               becomes non-fundamental, it can be changed in the future by the
               Board of Directors of the company without further approval by
               shareholders.

The Board of Directors of the company has called a meeting of the fund's
shareholders to be held on or about May 3, 2000 to vote on these and other
proposals. Only shareholders of record as of February 18, 2000 will be entitled
to vote at the meeting. Proposals that are approved are expected to become
effective on or about May 26, 2000.

The sixth paragraph appearing under the heading "PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN
THE FUND" on page 2 of the prospectus is deleted in its entirety.

The following replaces in its entirety the paragraph appearing under the heading
"PERFORMANCE INFORMATION" on page 3 of the prospectus:

         "The bar chart and table shown below provide an indication of the risks
         of investing in the fund. The fund's past performance is not
         necessarily an indication of its future performance."

The fourth paragraph appearing under the heading "FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS" on page
6 of the prospectus is deleted in its entirety.
