At special meetings of shareholders, a majority of the shareholders of each Fund
and Series listed above approved a proposal which gives the respective  Board of
Directors or Board of Trustees the discretion to retain the current distribution
arrangement  for the  Fund or  Series  while  investing  in a  master  fund in a
master/feeder fund structure as described below.

A master/feeder fund structure is one in which a fund (a "feeder fund"), instead
of investing  directly in a portfolio of securities,  invests most or all of its
investment  assets in a separate  registered  investment  company  (the  "master
fund") with  substantially  the same  investment  objective  and policies as the
feeder  fund.  Such a  structure  permits  the  pooling of assets of two or more
feeder funds,  preserving  separate  identities or distribution  channels at the
feeder  fund  level.  Based on the  premise  that  certain  of the  expenses  of
operating an investment  portfolio are  relatively  fixed,  a larger  investment
portfolio may eventually  achieve a lower ratio of operating expenses to average
net assets. An existing  investment  company is able to convert to a feeder fund
by  selling  all  of  its  investments,   which  involves  brokerage  and  other
transaction  costs and realization of a taxable gain or loss, or by contributing
its assets to the master  fund and  avoiding  transaction  costs and,  if proper
procedures are followed, the realization of taxable gain or loss.
