I need your proxy vote. The Special Meeting of Shareholders originally held on April 23, 2007, has been adjourned once again due to a lack of shareholder participation. Of our 49 funds, all but 6 have received sufficient voting to conduct the formal business of the Meeting. On the record date set for the Meeting by the Fund Trustees, you were a shareholder of 1 or more of these 6 funds and we have not yet received your proxy vote. We at Gartmore Funds want to continue to be faithful stewards of your investment capital. Please help us hold the Special Meeting and continue with the business of managing your investment with Gartmore Funds. Even if you have redeemed your shares since the record date, only you have the right to vote those shares and we still need your vote. More information can be found in the proxy statement, which was previously mailed to you. If you need another copy of the proxy statement, or have any proxy-related questions, please call 1-800-398-1247 for assistance. It is critical that we receive enough votes to complete the business of the Meeting without additional delay. However you choose to vote, your vote matters and will help us to obtain the required number of votes to complete the Meeting. The Special Meeting of Shareholders has been adjourned until Monday, July 16, 2007, to allow you more time to respond. Please help us by taking a moment to cast your vote today. Thank you in advance for your participation. Sincerely, /s/John H.
