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.
