Focused Growth and Income Portfolio
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR PORTFOLIO AND SUNAMERICA FOCUSED ALPHA LARGE-CAP FUND
Dear Shareholder:
Recently, we sent you proxy materials for the special shareholders meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of the Focused Growth and Income Portfolio (the “Growth and Income Portfolio”), a series of SunAmerica Series, Inc. (the “Corporation”), scheduled for June 29, 2012.
The purpose of the Special Meeting is to consider a proposal to approve a proposed Agreement and Plan of Reorganization pursuant to which the Growth and Income Portfolio would transfer all of its assets to the SunAmerica Focused Alpha Large-Cap Fund (the “Large-Cap Fund”), a series of SunAmerica Specialty Series, in exchange solely for the assumption of the Growth and Income Portfolio’s liabilities by the Large-Cap Fund and Class A and Class C shares of the Large-Cap Fund, which shares will be distributed by the Growth and Income Portfolio to the holders of its shares in complete liquidation thereof. You can find further details about this proposal in the proxy materials previously mailed to you.
Since the proxy materials were mailed, the Large-Cap Fund announced a change in one of its portfolio managers. In particular, Chris Leavy of BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BlackRock”), a subadviser to the Large-Cap Fund, was appointed as a portfolio manager of the Large-Cap Fund, replacing Robert C. Doll. A supplement to the Large-Cap Fund’s prospectus, dated June 8, 2012, has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to reflect this change. A copy of the supplement is enclosed.
As a shareholder of the Growth and Income Portfolio, your vote is important. If you have not yet voted, you may vote in one of the following ways:
| • | | By calling us toll-free at the telephone number listed on the enclosed proxy card; |
| • | | By Internet at the website address listed on the enclosed proxy card; |

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
John T. Genoy
