Dear Stockholder:
Recently, we sent you proxy materials regarding the Special Meeting of Stockholders of your Dreyfus fund(s) and many other funds in the Dreyfus Family of Funds to be held on November 16, 2009. At that meeting, stockholders of each fund will be asked to approve one or more changes to the fund’s fundamental policies and investment restrictions.
One of the proposals involves approval of one or more changes to the fund’s fundamental policies and investment restrictions to increase the fund’s flexibility in managing liquidity needs and to enable the fund to participate in an interfund lending program whereby certain funds in the Dreyfus Family of Funds may directly lend to and borrow money from each other for temporary purposes. This program, for example, would permit your fund to borrow money from other Dreyfus funds as needed to make redemptions while awaiting payment for securities that it has sold. In addition, your fund could lend its cash reserves to other Dreyfus funds to meet their temporary borrowing needs. The funds would seek to use the proposed interfund lending program to (i) reduce the cost that would be incurred in borrowing from banks and other lenders and (ii) earn higher interest rates on cash balances they currently use to invest in short-term investments or repurchase agreements. As to this proposal, we want to clarify that any loan by a fund to any other fund participating in the interfund lending program would be on a secured basis only, requiring the borrowing fund to segregate collateral with a market value at least equal to the outstanding principal value of the loan. Further, if a borrowing fund’s total outstanding borrowings immediately after an interfund borrowing would be greater than 10% of its total assets, the fund would be permitted to borrow on a secured basis only by segregating collateral with a market value at least equal to 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. No fund will make any loans to any other fund or otherwise (including, without limitation, loans of portfolio securities), except on a secured basis.
The proxy statement provides a detailed description of the proposed changes to fundamental policies and investment restrictions. A copy of the proxy statement is available at HTTP://WWW.DREYFUS.COM/PROXYINFO.HTM.
