REMINDER: SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD SEPTEMBER 17, 1997
Dear Stockholder:
We have not yet received your vote for the upcoming Special Meeting of
Stockholders scheduled to be held on September 17, 1997. It is very important
that you vote now. By voting now, you help the Fund avoid the added costs of
prolonged solicitation and possible adjournments in order to continue gathering
votes. All votes are vital no matter how many shares you hold and YOUR SHARES
CANNOT BE VOTED UNLESS WE RECEIVE INSTRUCTIONS FROM YOU! In order to be
represented at the meeting, WE MUST RECEIVE YOUR VOTE ON OR BEFORE WEDNESDAY,
SEPTEMBER 17, 1997.
The purpose of the Special Meeting is principally to consider a proposal by the
Board of Directors to convert the Fund from a closed-end investment company to
an open-end investment company (the "Conversion"). An unusually high affirmative
vote of the holders of two-thirds or more of the outstanding shares is required
in order to approve the Conversion making it critical that all shareholders
participate.
Important features of the Conversion, as described in the Fund's proxy
statement, include:
- - Stockholders will be able to buy and sell their shares at a price based on
net asset value.
- - There will be no change in the Fund's investment objective or strategy.
- - To give the Fund the potential to benefit from economies of scale, the Fund
will operate in a Core-and-Gateway - Registered Service Mark - fund of
funds structure by investing its assets in the two investment companies
which together have the same investment policies as the Fund.
PLEASE VOTE YOUR SHARES BY CALLING YOUR BROKER OR BY RETURNING YOUR EXECUTED
BALLOT IN THE ENCLOSED POSTAGE PAID ENVELOPE.
If you have any questions or need any further information concerning the meeting
agenda, please contact SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION 1-800-733-8481
