Semi-annual report for the six months ended September 30, 2006

EuroPacific Growth Fund^® seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in the securities of companies based in Europe and the Pacific Basin. About half of the world’s investment opportunities can be found beyond the borders of our country. As a shareholder in the fund, you have access to what we believe are the best of those opportunities.

This fund is one of the 30 American Funds. The organization ranks among the nation’s three largest mutual fund families. For 75 years, Capital Research and Management Company,^SM the American Funds adviser, has invested with a long-term focus based on thorough research and attention to risk.

Figures shown are past results for Class A shares and are not predictive of results in future periods. Current and future results may be lower or higher than those shown. Share prices and returns will vary, so investors may lose money. Investing for short periods makes losses more likely. Investments are not FDIC-insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity. For current information and month-end results, visit americanfunds.com. Fund results shown, unless otherwise indicated, are at net asset value. If a sales charge (maximum 5.75%) had been deducted, the results would have been lower.

Here are the average annual total returns on a $1,000 investment with all distributions reinvested for periods ended September 30, 2006:

Class A shares	1 year	5 years	10 years
Reflecting 5.75% maximum sales charge	+13.15%	+14.01%	+10.35%

The fund’s investment adviser waived 5% of its management fees from September 1, 2004, through March 31, 2005, and increased the waiver to 10% on April 1, 2005. Fund results shown reflect the waiver, without which they would have been lower. Please see the Financial Highlights table on pages 22 to 25 for details.

Results for other share classes can be found on page 5. Please see the inside back cover for important information about other share classes.

Investing outside the United States is subject to additional risks, such as currency fluctuations and political instability, which are detailed in the fund’s prospectus.

Fellow shareholders:

EuroPacific Growth Fund reported a 4.3% gain for the six months ended September 30, 2006, despite an erratic market environment. International markets overcame a major correction in May and June, recovering most of their losses by the end of the period. Emerging markets were among the hardest hit at that time, but concerns soon eased over higher U.S. interest rates, geopolitical turmoil and slowing global growth, allowing most markets worldwide to rebound.

EuroPacific’s return surpassed the Lipper International Funds Average of 3.0%, as well as the 4.2% return of the unmanaged MSCI ACWI (All-Country World Index) Index,^SM ex-USA, which measures 47 country indexes in developed and developing countries. The fund, however, fell shy of another benchmark, the MSCI EAFE^® (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index, which returned 5.0% in the same period.

The fund’s goal is to provide shareholders with long-term capital appreciation by investing in what we believe are the most promising companies outside of the United States, mainly in Asia and Europe. The table below shows the fund’s advantage over its peers in the long term, since the fund began on April 16, 1984.

What helped the fund

Our European investments were a particular area of strength over the period. These companies have been paying high dividends, corporate balance sheets look strong, and inflation appears benign in the region. Over the past few years, there have been a number of private equity management buy-out deals, which have acted as a bulwark for stock prices and valuations. Currency also had a positive effect on returns; the euro strengthened 4.7% against the U.S. dollar in the six-month period.

About 47% of the fund’s assets were invested in European companies, which enabled the region’s robust performance to lift the fund’s return. The biggest holdings were in the United Kingdom, where stocks returned 9.4%.* The fund also benefited from its large holdings in Switzerland, Germany and France, where markets were up 10.8%, 5.0% and 8.2%, respectively.

*Country returns are based on MSCI indexes, expressed in U.S. dollars and assuming reinvestment of dividends, unless otherwise indicated.

In fact, seven of the fund’s top 10 holdings were European as of September 30, 2006, and all seven of those gained during the six-month period. Specifically, pharmaceutical maker Roche was up 16.3% and food and beverage company Nestlé returned 17.5%; both of these are based in Switzerland but are truly global companies. German pharmaceutical manufacturer Bayer was up 27.4%. Oil and gas company Royal Dutch Shell (+5.1%), pharmaceutical makers AstraZeneca (+23.7%) and Novo Nordisk (+19.3%), and Dutch financial services company ING Groep (+12.1%) also contributed positive returns.

What hurt the fund

Despite expectations that economic growth in Japan last year would translate into gains in Japanese stocks, the markets there have remained stagnant. As a whole, Japanese equities retreated 5.2% during the six-month period. Currency was not an issue in Japan, as the measure was down a similar percentage in both yen and U.S. dollar terms. Changes in Japan’s regulatory policies hurt our consumer finance holdings, including Takefuji, ORIX and AIFUL. Other holdings that disappointed in the period were Nitto Denko, a Japanese industrial manufacturer, down 29.9%; convenience store operator Seven & I Holdings, down 18.5%; and banking conglomerate Mitsubishi UFJ Financial, down 16.1%.

Several of the fund’s less-successful holdings during the period were South Korean companies, which made up 7.8% of the fund. The region was down 0.3% in local currency according to the MSCI Country Index, pulling back slightly after an extended period of strength. Kookmin Bank, one of our largest holdings, fell 9.3%, and LG Electronics was down 20.2%. However, despite short-term issues that have hurt share prices in the region, we believe our Japanese and South Korean holdings represent solid companies poised for growth in the long term.

Looking ahead

We continue to be cautiously optimistic about the global economy. Recent political changes in Europe and Japan should support an increasingly business-friendly environment. Inflation remains contained, and energy prices are moderating. Many countries continue their sturdy economic growth, and earnings projections for international firms remain strong with valuations quite reasonable from a historical perspective.

No one knows for sure the path that the global economy will take in the short term. The current environment of some uncertainty underscores the importance of a long-term approach to stock selection, which has always been our top priority. Relying on our intensive global research effort, we set our sights on companies outside the United States that are most likely to negotiate periods of uncertainty and be leaders in the years ahead.

Finally, we take this opportunity to thank all our shareholders, new and old, for your faith in us and your continued support.

Sincerely,

/s/ Gina H. Despres	/s/ Mark Denning

1.    Organization and significant accounting policies

Organization - EuroPacific Growth Fund (the "fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified management investment company. The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in the securities of companies based in Europe and the Pacific Basin.

The fund offers 14 share classes consisting of four retail share classes, five CollegeAmerica® savings plan share classes and five retirement plan share classes. The CollegeAmerica savings plan share classes (529-A, 529-B, 529-C, 529-E and 529-F) can be utilized to save for college education. The five retirement plan share classes (R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4 and R-5) are sold without any sales charges and do not carry any conversion rights.The fund’s share classes are described below:

Share class	Initial sales charge	Contingent deferred sales charge upon redemption	Conversion feature
Class A and 529-A	Up to 5.75%	None (except 1% for certain redemptions within one year of purchase without an initial sales charge)	None
Class B and 529-B	None	Declines from 5% to 0% for redemptions within six years of purchase	Class B and 529-B convert to Class A and 529-A, respectively, after eight years
Class C	None	1% for redemptions within one year of purchase	Class C converts to Class F after 10 years
Class 529-C	None	1% for redemptions within one year of purchase	None
Class 529-E	None	None	None
Class F and 529-F	None	None	None
Class R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4 and R-5	None	None	None

Holders of all share classes have equal pro rata rights to assets, dividends and liquidation proceeds.Each share class has identical voting rights, except for the exclusive right to vote on matters affecting only its class. Share classes have different fees and expenses ("class-specific fees and expenses"), primarily due to different arrangements for distribution, administrative and shareholder services. Differences in class-specific fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income and, therefore, the payment of different per-share dividends by each class.

Significant accounting policies - The financial statements have been prepared to comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the fund:

Security valuation - Equity securities are valued at the official closing price of, or the last reported sale price on, the exchange or market on which such securities are traded, as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued or, lacking any sales, at the last available bid price. Prices for each security are taken from the principal exchange or market in which the security trades. Fixed-income securities, including short-term securities purchased with more than 60 days left to maturity, are valued at prices obtained from an independent pricing service when such prices are available. However, where the investment adviser deems it appropriate, such securities will be valued at the mean quoted bid and asked prices (or bid prices, if asked prices are not available) or at prices for securities of comparable maturity, quality and type. Securities with both fixed-income and equity characteristics, or equity securities traded principally among fixed-income dealers, are valued in the manner described above for either equity or fixed-income securities, depending on which method is deemed most appropriate by the investment adviser. Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of short-term securities originally purchased with maturities greater than 60 days is determined based on an amortized value to par when they reach 60 days or less remaining to maturity. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry, state or region. Forward currency contracts are valued at the mean of representative quoted bid and asked prices. Securities and other assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable are fair valued as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by authority of the fund's board of trustees. Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; and changes in overall market conditions. If events occur that materially affect the value of securities (particularly non-U.S. securities) between the close of trading in those securities and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the securities are fair valued.

Security transactions and related investment income - Security transactions are recorded by the fund as of the date the trades are executed with brokers. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined based on the specific identified cost of the securities. In the event a security is purchased with a delayed payment date, the fund will segregate liquid assets sufficient to meet its payment obligations. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Market discounts, premiums and original issue discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized daily over the expected life of the security.

Class allocations - Income, fees and expenses (other than class-specific fees and expenses) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily among the various share classes based on their relative net assets. Class-specific fees and expenses, such as distribution, administrative and shareholder services, are charged directly to the respective share class.

Dividends and distributions to shareholders -Dividends and distributions paid to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Non-U.S. currency translation - Assets and liabilities, including investment securities, denominated in non-U.S. currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the dates of such transactions. In the accompanying financial statements, the effects of changes in non-U.S. exchange rates on investment securities are included with the net realized gain or loss and net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. The realized gain or loss and unrealized appreciation or depreciation resulting from all other transactions denominated in non-U.S. currencies are disclosed separately.

Forward currency contracts - The fund may enter into forward currency contracts, which represent agreements to exchange non-U.S. currencies on specific future dates at predetermined rates. The fund enters into these contracts to manage its exposure to changes in non-U.S. exchange rates arising from investments denominated in non-U.S. currencies. Upon entering into these contracts, risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from possible movements in non-U.S. exchange rates. Due to these risks, the fund could incur losses up to the entire contract amount, which may exceed the net unrealized value shown on the accompanying financial statements. On a daily basis, the fund values forward currency contracts based on the applicable exchange rates and records unrealized gains or losses. The fund records realized gains or losses at the time the forward contract is closed or offset by another contract with the same broker for the same settlement date and currency.

2.    Non-U.S. investments

Investment risk - The risks of investing in securities of non-U.S.issuers may include, but are not limited to, investment and repatriation restrictions; revaluation of currencies; adverse political, social and economic developments; government involvement in the private sector; limited and less reliable investor information; lack of liquidity; certain local tax law considerations; and limited regulation of the securities markets.

Taxation - Dividend and interest income is recorded net of non-U.S. taxes paid. Gains realized by the fund on the sale of securities in certain countries are subject to non-U.S. taxes. The fund records a liability based on unrealized gains to provide for potential non-U.S. taxes payable upon the sale of these securities. For the six months ended September 30, 2006, non-U.S. taxes paid on realized gains were $1,358,000. As of September 30, 2006, non-U.S. taxes provided on unrealized gains were $6,325,000.

3.    Federal income taxation and distributions

The fund complies with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to mutual funds and intends to distribute substantially all of its net taxable income and net capital gains each year. The fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent such distributions are made. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Distributions - Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences are due primarily to differing treatment for items such as non-U.S. currency gains and losses; short-term capital gains and losses; capital losses related to sales of certain securities within 30 days of purchase; unrealized appreciation of certain investments in non-U.S. securities; and non-U.S. taxes on capital gains. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the fund for financial reporting purposes.

The components of distributable earnings on a tax basis are reported as of the fund’s most recent year-end. As of March 31, 2006, the fund had tax basis undistributed ordinary income of $1,658,836,000 and undistributed long-term capital gain of $1,922,922,000.

As of September 30, 2006, the tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and cost of investments were as follows:

	(dollars in thousands)
Gross unrealized appreciation on investment securities		$23,492,670
Gross unrealized depreciation on investment securities		(1,199,100)
Net unrealized appreciation on investment securities		22,293,570
Cost of investment securities		66,437,912

No distributions were paid to shareholders during the six months ended September 30, 2006. For the year ended March 31, 2006, the tax character of distributions paid to shareholders was as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Year ended March 31, 2006

4. Fees and transactions with related parties

Capital Research and Management Company ("CRMC"), the fund’s investment adviser, is the parent company of American Funds Service Company ^SM ("AFS"), the fund’s transfer agent, and American Funds Distributors, Inc.^SM ("AFD"), the principal underwriter of the fund’s shares.

Investment advisory services - The Investment Advisory and Service Agreement with CRMC provides for monthly fees accrued daily. These fees are based on a declining series of annual rates beginning with 0.690% on the first $500 million of daily net assets and decreasing to 0.405% on such assets in excess of $71 billion. During the period ended September 30, 2006, CRMC reduced investment advisory service rates to a proposed rate that would continue the series of rates to include an additional annual rate of 0.400% on daily net assets in excess of $89 billion. CRMC is currently waiving 10% of investment advisory services fees. During the six months ended September 30, 2006, total investment advisory services fees waived by CRMC were $18,136,000. As a result, the fee shown on the accompanying financial statements of $181,356,000, which was equivalent to an annualized rate of 0.428%, was reduced to $163,220,000, or 0.385% of average daily net assets.

Class-specific fees and expenses - Expenses that are specific to individual share classes are accrued directly to the respective share class. The principal class-specific fees and expenses are described below:

Distribution services - The fund has adopted plans of distribution for all share classes, except Class R-5. Under the plans, the board of trustees approves certain categories of expenses that are used to finance activities primarily intended to sell fund shares and service existing accounts. The plans provide for payments, based on an annualized percentage of average daily net assets, ranging from 0.25% to 1.00% as noted below. In some cases, the board of trustees has limited the amounts that may be paid to less than the maximum allowed by the plans. All share classes may use up to 0.25% of average daily net assets to pay service fees, or to compensate AFD for paying service fees, to firms that have entered into agreements with AFD to provide certain shareholder services. The remaining amounts available to be paid under each plan are paid to dealers to compensate them for their sales activities.

For Class A and 529-A, the board of trustees has also approved the reimbursement of dealer and wholesaler commissions paid by AFD for certain shares sold without a sales charge. These classes reimburse AFD for amounts billed within the prior 15 months but only to the extent that the overall annual expense limit of 0.25% is not exceeded. As of September 30, 2006, unreimbursed expenses subject to reimbursement totaled $11,413,000 for Class A. There were no unreimbursed expenses subject to reimbursement for Class 529-A.

Share class	Currently approved limits	Plan limits
Class A	0.25%	0.25%
Class 529-A	0.25	0.50
Class B and 529-B	1.00	1.00
Class C, 529-C and R-1	1.00	1.00
Class R-2	0.75	1.00
Class 529-E and R-3	0.50	0.75
Class F, 529-F and R-4	0.25	0.50

Transfer agent services -The fund has a transfer agent agreement with AFS for Class A and B. Under this agreement, these share classes compensate AFS for transfer agent services including shareholder recordkeeping, communications and transaction processing. AFS is also compensated for certain transfer agent services provided to all other share classes from the administrative services fees paid to CRMC described below.

Administrative services - The fund has an administrative services agreement with CRMC to provide transfer agent and other related shareholder services for all share classes other than Class A and B. Each relevant share class pays CRMC annual fees up to 0.15% (0.10% for Class R-5) based on its respective average daily net assets. Each relevant share class also pays AFS additional amounts for certain transfer agent services. CRMC and AFS may use these fees to compensate third parties for performing these services. CRMC has agreed to pay AFS on the fund's behalf for a portion of the transfer agent services fees for some of the retirement plan share classes.For the six months ended September 30, 2006, the total administrative services fees paid by CRMC were $292,000 for Class R-2. Administrative services fees are presented gross of any payments made by CRMC. Each 529 share class is subject to an additional annual administrative services fee of 0.10% of its respective average daily net assets; this fee is payable to the Commonwealth of Virginia for the maintenance of the CollegeAmerica plan.Although these amounts are included with administrative services fees on the accompanying financial statements, the Commonwealth of Virginia is not considered a related party.

Expenses under the agreements described above for the six months ended September 30, 2006, were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Share class	Distribution services	Transfer agent services	Administrative services
			CRMC administrative services	Transfer agent services	Commonwealth of Virginia administrative services
Class A	$63,358	$18,703	Not applicable	Not applicable	Not applicable

Class R-5	Not applicable		5,103	36	Not applicable
Total	$118,635	$19,215	$19,349	$2,994	$360

Deferred trustees’ compensation - Since the adoption of the deferred compensation plan in 1993, trustees who are unaffiliated with CRMC may elect to defer the cash payment of part or all of their compensation. These deferred amounts, which remain as liabilities of the fund, are treated as if invested in shares of the fund or other American Funds. These amounts represent general, unsecured liabilities of the fund and vary according to the total returns of the selected funds. Trustees’ compensation of $345,000, shown on the accompanying financial statements, includes $203,000 in current fees (either paid in cash or deferred) and a net increase of $142,000 in the value of the deferred amounts.

Affiliated officers and trustees - Officers and certain trustees of the fund are or may be considered to be affiliated with CRMC, AFS and AFD. No affiliated officers or trustees received any compensation directly from the fund.

  Expense example     unaudited  

As a shareholder of the fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs such as initial sales charges on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (loads); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2006, through September 30, 2006).

Actual expenses:

The first line of each share class in the table on the next page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses paid during period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. There are some account fees that are charged to certain types of accounts, such as Individual Retirement Accounts and CollegeAmerica accounts (generally, a $10 fee is charged to set up the account and an additional $10 fee is charged to the account annually) that would increase the amount of expenses paid on your account. In addition, retirement plan participants may be subject to certain fees charged by the plan sponsor, and Class F and 529-F shareholders may be subject to fees charged by financial intermediaries, typically ranging from 0.75% to 1.50% of assets annually depending on services offered. You can estimate the impact of these fees by adding the amount of the fees to the total estimated expenses you paid on your account during the period as calculated above. In addition, your ending account value would also be lower by the amount of these fees.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes:

The second line of each share class in the table on the next page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio for the share class and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of the share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5.00% hypothetical example with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. There are some account fees that are charged to certain types of accounts, such as Individual Retirement Accounts and CollegeAmerica accounts (generally, a $10 fee is charged to set up the account and an additional $10 fee is charged to the account annually) that would increase the amount of expenses paid on your account. In addition, retirement plan participants may be subject to certain fees charged by the plan sponsor, and Class F and 529-F shareholders may be subject to fees charged by financial intermediaries, typically ranging from 0.75% to 1.50% of assets annually depending on services offered. You can estimate the impact of these fees by adding the amount of the fees to the total estimated expenses you paid on your account during the period as calculated on the previous page. In addition, your ending account value would also be lower by the amount of these fees.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

There are several ways to invest in EuroPacific Growth Fund. Class A shares are subject to a 5.75% maximum up-front sales charge that declines for accounts (and aggregated investments) of $25,000 or more and is eliminated for purchases of $1 million or more. Other share classes, which are generally not available for certain employer-sponsored retirement plans, have no up-front sales charges but are subject to additional annual expenses and fees. Annualized expenses for Class B shares were 0.74 percentage points higher than for Class A shares; Class B shares convert to Class A shares after eight years of ownership. If redeemed within six years, Class B shares may also be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of up to 5% that declines over time. Class C shares were subject to annualized expenses 0.83 percentage points higher than those for Class A shares and a 1% CDSC if redeemed within the first year after purchase. Class C shares convert to Class F shares after 10 years. Class F shares, which are available only through certain fee-based programs offered by broker-dealer firms and registered investment advisers, had higher annualized expenses (by 0.02 percentage points) than did Class A shares, and an annual asset-based fee charged by the sponsoring firm. Expenses are deducted from income earned by the fund. As a result, dividends and investment results will differ for each share class.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the American Funds. This and other important information is contained in the fund’s prospectus, which can be obtained from your financial adviser and should be read carefully before investing. You may also call American Funds Service Company (AFS) at 800/421-0180 or visit the American Funds website at americanfunds.com.

“American Funds Proxy Voting Guidelines” — which describes how we vote proxies relating to portfolio securities — is available free of charge on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) website at sec.gov, on the American Funds website or upon request by calling AFS. The fund files its proxy voting record with the SEC for the 12 months ended June 30 by August 31. The report also is available on the SEC and American Funds websites.

A complete September 30, 2006, portfolio of EuroPacific Growth Fund’s investments is available free of charge by calling AFS or visiting the SEC website (where it is part of Form N-CSR).

EuroPacific Growth Fund files a complete list of its portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. This filing is available free of charge on the SEC website. You may also review or, for a fee, copy this filing at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. (800/SEC-0330). Additionally, the list of portfolio holdings also is available by calling AFS.

This report is for the information of shareholders of EuroPacific Growth Fund, but it may also be used as sales literature when preceded or accompanied by the current prospectus, which gives details about charges, expenses, investment objectives and operating policies of the fund. If used as sales material after December 31, 2006, this report must be accompanied by an American Funds statistical update for the most recently completed calendar quarter.

ITEM 10 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the Registrant’s Board of Trustees since the Registrant last submitted a proxy statement to its shareholders. The procedures are as follows. The Registrant has a Nominating Committee comprised solely of persons who are not considered ‘‘interested persons’’ of the Registrant within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The committee periodically reviews such issues as the Board’s composition, responsibilities, committees, compensation and other relevant issues, and recommends any appropriate changes to the full Board of Trustees. While the committee normally is able to identify from its own resources an ample number of qualified candidates, it will consider shareholder suggestions of persons to be considered as nominees to fill future vacancies on the Board. Such suggestions must be sent in writing to the Nominating Committee of the Registrant, c/o the Registrant’s Secretary, and must be accompanied by complete biographical and occupational data on the prospective nominee, along with a written consent of the prospective nominee for consideration of his or her name by the Nominating Committee.

(b)	There were no changes in the Registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Investment Company Act of 1940) that occurred during the Registrant’s second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
