Dear Valued Shareholder:
Recently we sent to you a prospectus/proxy statement and other proxy materials for the upcoming Special Meeting of Shareholders for Evergreen Large Company Growth Fund and the Wells Fargo Advantage Large Company Growth Fund (each a “Fund,” together, the “Funds”) scheduled for June 8, 2010 (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, shareholders of the Funds will be asked to consider a proposal to reorganize the Fund into the Wells Fargo Advantage Premier Large Company Growth Fund. The enclosed Supplement updates the prospectus/proxy statement dated April 15, 2010 (the “Proxy Statement”) that you recently received in connection with that Special Meeting. The Special Meeting will be held on June 8, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific time, at the offices of Wells Fargo Advantage Funds®, 525 Market Street, San Francisco, California 94105; however, in order to provide you with additional time to consider the information in the Supplement, the Special Meeting will be adjourned immediately until June 18, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific time.
