On September 12, 2006, Kopp Investment Advisors, LLC, the investment
adviser to Kopp Funds, Inc. ("Kopp Funds"), entered into an agreement with
American Century Investment Management, Inc. ("American Century") that
contemplates that the Kopp Emerging Growth Fund and the Kopp Total Quality
Management Fund (the "Funds"), each a series of Kopp Funds, will be reorganized
with and into two American Century funds. The agreement is subject to a number
of conditions, including the separate approval of agreements and plans of
reorganization (the "Reorganization Agreements") by shareholders of the Funds at
a special shareholders meeting to be held on or about January 12, 2007 (the
"Special Meeting").
The Reorganization Agreements provide that the Kopp Emerging Growth Fund
will be reorganized into the American Century New Opportunities II Fund, a
series of American Century Mutual Funds, Inc., and the Kopp Total Quality
Management Fund will be reorganized into the American Century Equity Growth
Fund, a series of American Century Quantitative Equity Funds, Inc. The
Reorganization Agreements have been unanimously approved by each board of
directors of Kopp Funds, American Century Mutual Funds, Inc. and American
Century Quantitative Equity Funds, Inc.
At the Special Meeting, shareholders of the Kopp Emerging Growth Fund will
also be asked to approve a subadvisory agreement appointing American Century as
subadvisor to the Kopp Emerging Growth Fund for purposes of transitioning the
portfolio prior to the reorganization. This subadvisory arrangement, which has
been approved by the board of directors of Kopp Funds, will take effect
following shareholder approval of the reorganization and the subadvisory
agreement.
Additional details regarding the Special Meeting will be contained in a
combined proxy statement/prospectus to be mailed to shareholders of the Funds in
