Waivers for Investments of Proceeds From Other Investments
Purchase may be made at NAV, without payment of a front-end sales charge,
to the extent that: (i) you are investing proceeds from a redemption of shares
of another open-end investment company on which you paid a front-end sales
charge, and (ii) such redemption occurred within thirty (30) days prior to the
date of the purchase order. You must notify a Fund and/or the transfer agent at
the time you place such purchase order of your eligibility for the waiver of
front-end sales charges and provide satisfactory evidence thereof (e.g., a
confirmation of the redemption and the sales charges paid).
The following paragraphs are amended and/or added as follows:

that is maintained, managed or advised by Wells Fargo Bank, Stephens or their
affiliates. In addition, Class A shares may be purchased without payment of a
front-end sales charge, with proceeds from a required minimum distribution from
any Individual Retirement Account ("IRA"), Simplified Employee Pension Plan or
other self-directed retirement plan for which Wells Fargo Bank serves as
trustee, provided that the proceeds are invested in a Fund within 30 days of
such distribution and such distribution is required as a result of reaching age
70 1/2. Investors who purchase Class A shares though Internet providers approved
by Wells Fargo Bank may purchase such shares without a front-end sales charge.
Class A Shares may be purchased without a front-end sales charge by the
following types of investors when the trades are placed through an omnibus
account maintained with a Fund by a broker/dealer---trust companies; deferred
compensation plans and the trusts used to fund these plans; investment advisers
and financial planners who charge a management, consulting or other fee for
their services and who place trades on their own behalf if the clients' accounts
are linked to the master account of such investment adviser or financial planner
on the books and records of the broker/dealer.
