* | Expense ratios reflect annual fund operating expenses for the most recent fiscal year (as disclosed in the Funds’ current prospectuses) of the Target Fund (March 31, 2010) and the Acquiring Fund (April 30, 2010). Pro forma numbers are estimated as if the Reorganization had been completed as of May 1, 2009 and do not include the estimated costs of the Reorganization. The Target Fund is not expected to bear any Reorganization costs. For more information on the costs of the Reorganization to be borne by the Funds, see “Costs of the Reorganizations” below. | |

2. | Invesco Advisers, the Target Fund’s adviser, has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A shares to 1.32%, Class B shares to 2.07%, Class C shares to 2.07% and Class Y shares to 1.07% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement to exceed the limit reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (v) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board and Invesco Advisers mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012. | |
3. | Effective upon the closing of the Reorganization, Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2013, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A shares to 1.32%, Class B shares to 2.07%, Class C shares to 2.07% and Class Y shares to 1.07% of average daily net assets.

Principal Risk | Funds Subject to Risk | |
Active Trading Risk. The Fund may engage in frequent trading of portfolio securities. Active trading results in added expenses and may result in a lower return and increased tax liability. | Target Fund | |
Market Risk. The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations. | Acquiring Fund Target Fund | |
Utilities Sector Risk. The following factors may affect the Fund’s investments in the utilities sector: governmental regulation, economic factors, ability of the issuer to obtain financing, prices of natural resources and risks associated with nuclear power. | Acquiring Fund Target Fund | |
Credit Risk. Credit risk refers to an issuer’s ability to make timely payments of interest and principal. Noninvestment grade securities or junk bonds are considered speculative by recognized rating agencies with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to pay interest and principal, and such securities have less liquidity and a higher incidence of default than investments in higher-grade securities. | Target Fund | |
Income Risk. The ability of the Fund’s common stocks and preferred stocks to generate income generally depends on the earnings and the continuing declaration of dividends by the issuers of such securities. The interest on the Fund’s debt securities, including convertible bonds, is generally affected by prevailing interest rates, which can vary widely over the short- and long-term. | Target Fund | |
High Yield Bond (Junk Bond) Risk. Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The values of junk bonds fluctuate more than those of high-quality bonds in response to company, political, regulatory or economic developments. Values of junk bonds can decline significantly over short periods of time. | Target Fund | |
Foreign Securities Risk. The value of the Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies. | Acquiring Fund Target Fund | |
Limited Number of Holdings Risk. The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities or other instruments, which could negatively affect the value of the Fund. | Acquiring Fund Target Fund | |
Risks of Derivatives. Risks of derivatives include the possible imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to the transaction; risks that the transactions may result in losses that partially or completely offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that the instruments may not be liquid. | Acquiring Fund Target Fund | |
Management Risk. The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results. | Acquiring Fund Target Fund |

Table of Contents
Principal Risk | Funds Subject to Risk | |
Small- and Mid-Capitalization Risk. Stocks of small and mid sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small and mid sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price. | Acquiring Fund | |
Sector Fund Risk. The Fund’s investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy, which may make the Fund more volatile. | Acquiring Fund Target Fund |

Principal Risk | Funds Subject to Risk | |
Market Risk. Market risk is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the Fund will decline. Investments in equity securities generally are affected by changes in the stock markets, which fluctuate substantially over time, sometimes suddenly and sharply. | All Funds | |
Risks of Small Capitalization Companies. Small capitalization companies often have less predictable earnings, more limited product lines, markets, distribution channels or financial resources and the management of such companies may be dependent upon one or few key people. The market movements of equity securities of small capitalization companies may be more abrupt and volatile than the market movements of equity securities of larger, more established companies or the stock market in general and are generally less liquid than equity securities of larger companies. | All Funds | |
Value Investing Risk. Value investing is subject to the risk that the valuations never improve, and the returns on value equity securities may or may not move in tandem with the returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. | All Funds | |
Common Stock and Other Equity Securities. In general, stock and other equity security values fluctuate, and sometimes widely fluctuate, in response to activities specific to the company as well as general market, economic and political conditions. Investments in convertible securities subject the Fund to the risks associated with both fixed-income securities, including credit risk and interest rate risk, and common stocks. | All Funds | |
Foreign Risks. The risks of investing in securities of foreign issuers, including emerging market issuers, can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange controls, political and economic instability, differences in securities regulation and trading, and foreign taxation issues. Emerging market issuer risk is not a principal risk for the Small-Mid Special Value Fund, Special Value Fund and U.S. Small/Mid Cap Value Fund. | Acquiring Fund Small-Mid Special Value Fund Special Value Fund U.S. Small/Mid Cap Value Fund | |
Risks of Investing in REITs. Investing in REITs makes the Fund more susceptible to risks associated with the ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general and may involve duplication of management fees and other expenses. REITs may be less diversified than other pools of securities, may have lower trading volumes and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. | Acquiring Fund Small-Mid Special Value Fund U.S. Small/Mid Cap Value Fund | |
Risks of Derivatives. Risks of derivatives include the possible imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to the transaction; risks that the transactions may result in losses that partially or completely offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that the instruments may not be liquid. | Acquiring Fund Small-Mid Special Value Fund Special Value Fund U.S. Small Cap Value Fund | |
IPOs. Shares issued in IPOs expose the Fund to risks associated with companies that have little operating history, as well as risks inherent in sectors of the market where new issuers operate. The market for IPO issuers has been volatile, and share prices of certain newly-public companies have fluctuated significantly over short periods of time. | Small-Mid Special Value Fund |
15
Table of Contents
Principal Risk | Funds Subject to Risk | |
Lower Rate Securities (Junk Bonds). The prices of these securities are likely to be more sensitive to adverse economic changes, resulting in increased volatility of market prices of these securities during periods of economic uncertainty, or adverse individual corporate developments, than higher rated securities. In addition, during an economic downturn or substantial period of rising interest rates, junk bond issuers and, in particular, highly leveraged issuers may experience financial stress and junk bonds may have a higher incidence of default than higher-rated securities. | Special Value Fund | |
Medium Capitalization Companies. Investing in securities of medium capitalization companies involves greater risk than is customarily associated with investing in larger, more established companies. Often the stocks of these companies may be more volatile and less liquid than stocks of more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt and erratic price movements. These stocks may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly from the overall stock market. Often medium capitalization companies and the industries in which they are focused are still evolving and, while this may offer better growth potential than larger more established companies, it also may make them sensitive to changing market conditions. | Small-Mid Special Value Fund U.S. Small/Mid Cap Value Fund |

* | Expense ratios reflect annual fund operating expenses for the most recent fiscal year (as disclosed in the Funds’ current prospectuses) of the Basic Value Fund (October 31, 2009), Value Fund (September 30, 2009), Value II Fund (September 30, 2009) and the Acquiring Fund (December 31, 2009). Pro forma numbers are estimated as if the Reorganization had been completed as of January 1, 2009 and do not include the estimated costs of the Reorganization. The estimated Reorganization costs that the Basic Value Fund, the Value Fund and the Value II Fund will bear are $110,000, $140,000 and $90,000, respectively. Invesco Advisers estimates that shareholders of the Basic Value Fund, the Value Fund and the Value II Fund will recoup these costs through reduced expenses in two months or less, five months or less, and twelve months or less, respectively. For more information on the costs of the Reorganization to be borne by the Funds, see “Costs of the Reorganizations” below. | |
1. | Based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year. | |
2. | Effective upon the closing of the Reorganization, Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A shares to 0.89%, Class B shares to 1.64%, Class C shares to 1.64% , Class R shares to 1.14%, Class Y shares to 0.64% and Institutional Class shares to 0.64% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement to exceed the limit reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (v) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board and Invesco Advisers mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012. | |
3. | Reflects actual 12b-1 fees currently paid under the Acquiring Fund’s 12b-1 Plan. Maximum 12b-1 fees payable under the Plan are 1.00%. |

Principal Risk | Funds Subject to Risk | |
Market Risk. Market risk is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the Fund will decline. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, sector of the economy or the market as a whole. Investments in equity securities generally are affected by changes in the stock markets which fluctuate substantially over time, sometimes suddenly and sharply. The value of a convertible security tends to decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying equity security. | Acquiring Fund Basic Value Fund | |
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration. | Basic Value Fund | |
Credit Risk. The issuer of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating. | Basic Value Fund | |
Exchange-Traded Funds Risk. An investment by an underlying fund in ETFs generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a mutual fund. In addition, ETFs may be subject to the following: (1) a discount of the ETF’s shares to its net asset value; (2) failure to develop an active trading market for the ETF’s shares; (3) the listing exchange halting trading of the ETF’s shares; (4) failure of the ETF’s shares to track the referenced index; and (5) holding troubled securities in the referenced index. | Basic Value Fund | |
Value Investing. A value style of investing emphasizes undervalued companies with characteristics for improved valuations. This style of investing is subject to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on value equity securities are less than the returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock markets. | Acquiring Fund Basic Value Fund Value Fund Value II Fund | |
Foreign Risks. The risks of investing in securities of foreign issuers, including emerging market issuers, can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange controls, political and economic instability, differences in securities regulation and trading, and foreign taxation issues. | Acquiring Fund Basic Value Fund Value Fund | |
Foreign and Emerging Market Securities. Investments in foreign markets entail special risks such as currency, political, economic and market risks. There also may be greater market volatility, less reliable financial information, higher transaction and custody costs, decreased market liquidity and less government and exchange regulation associated with investments in foreign markets. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than risks associated with investments in foreign developed countries. In addition, the portfolio’s investments may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, changes in the value of a country’s currency compared to the U.S. dollar may affect the value of the Fund’s investments. | Value II Fund | |
U.S. Government Obligations Risk. The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. | Basic Value Fund Value Fund | |
Counterparty Risk. Certain instruments may be subject to the risk that the other party to a contract will not fulfill its contractual obligations. | Basic Value Fund | |
Limited Number of Holdings Risk. The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities, which could negatively affect the value of the Fund. | Basic Value Fund | |
Management Risk. The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results. | Acquiring Fund Target Funds |

Principal Risk | Funds Subject to Risk | |
Small- and Medium-Sized Companies Risk. During an overall stock market decline, stock prices of small- or medium-sized companies often fluctuate more than stock prices of larger companies or the market averages in general. In addition, such companies typically are subject to a greater degree of change in earnings and business prospects than are larger companies and may be less liquid than larger-sized companies. In addition, small- and medium-sized companies may have more limited markets, financial resources and product lines, and may lack the depth of management of larger companies. | Acquiring Fund | |
Securities of Small Companies. Investments in smaller companies may involve greater risk than investments in larger, more established companies. The securities issued by smaller companies may be less liquid and their prices subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements. In addition, smaller companies may have more limited markets, financial resources and product lines, and may lack the depth of management of larger companies. The Adviser’s perception that a stock is under- or over-valued may not be accurate or may not be realized. | Value II Fund | |
Risks of Investing in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Investing in REITs makes the Fund more susceptible to risks associated with the ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general. In addition, REITs depend upon specialized management skills, may not be diversified, may have less trading volume, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. REITs must comply with certain requirements of the federal income tax law to maintain their federal income tax status. Investments in REITs may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses. | Acquiring Fund Value Fund Value II Fund | |
Risks of Using Derivative Instruments. Derivative transactions involve risks different from direct investments in underlying securities. Risks of derivatives include the possible imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to certain transactions; risks that the transactions may result in losses that partially or completely offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that the transactions may not be liquid. | Acquiring Fund Basic Value Fund Value II Fund | |
Common Stock and Other Equity Securities. In general, stock and other equity security values fluctuate, and sometimes widely fluctuate, in response to activities specific to the company as well as general market, economic and political conditions. Investments in convertible securities subject the Fund to the risks associated with both fixed-income securities, including credit risk and interest rate risk, and common stocks. | Acquiring Fund Value Fund Value II Fund | |
Leveraging Risk. Certain transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. To mitigate leveraging risk, the Fund will earmark liquid assets or otherwise cover the transactions that may give rise to such risk. The use of leverage may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations or to meet earmarking requirements. Leverage, including borrowing, may cause the Fund to be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. | Value II Fund | |
Fixed-Income Securities. All fixed-income securities are subject to two types of risk: credit risk and interest rate risk. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities go down. When the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up. | Value Fund |

(e) | Performance was positively impacted by approximately 0.39% due to the receipt of proceeds from the settlements of class action suits involving primarily two of the portfolio’s past holdings. This was a one-time settlement, and as a result, the impact on the NAV and consequently the performance will not likely be repeated in the future. Had these settlements not occurred, the total return for Class I and Class P shares would have been approximately 11.33% and 11.22%, respectively. | |

* | Expense ratios reflect annual fund operating expenses for the most recent fiscal year (as disclosed in the Funds’ current prospectuses) of the Target Fund (December 31, 2009) and the Acquiring Fund (March 31, 2010). Pro forma numbers are estimated as if the Reorganization had been completed as of April 1, 2009 and do not include the estimated costs of the Reorganization. The Target Fund is not expected to bear any Reorganization costs. For more information on the costs of the Reorganization to be borne by the Funds, see “Costs of the Reorganization” below. | |
† | Class R shares and Institutional Class shares will not be issued until the consummation of the Reorganization (the “Closing”). | |
1 | Based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year. | |
2 | Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A shares to 1.41%, Class B shares to 2.16%, Class C shares to 2.16%, Class R shares to 1.66% , Class Y shares to 1.16% and Institutional Class shares to 1.16% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement to exceed the limit reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (v) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board and Invesco Advisers mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012. | |
3 | Effective upon the closing of the Reorganization, the Acquiring Fund’s advisory fee schedule has been amended so that it matches the fee of the Target Fund. The advisory fee rates to be paid to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets are as follows: 0.695% of the first $250 million, plus 0.67% of the next $250 million, plus 0.645% of the next $500 million, plus 0.62% of the next $1.5 billion, plus 0.595% of the next $2.5 billion, plus 0.57% of the next $2.5 billion, plus 0.545% of the next $2.5 billion, plus 0.52% of the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $10 billion. | |

Principal Risk | Funds Subject to Risk | |
Market Risk. Market risk is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the Fund will decline. Investments in common stocks and other equity securities generally are affected by changes in the stock markets, which fluctuate substantially over time, sometimes suddenly and sharply. | Acquiring Fund Target Fund | |
Value Investing Style. The Fund emphasizes a value style of investing, which focuses on undervalued companies with characteristics for improved valuations. This style of investing is subject to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on “value” equity securities are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. Value stocks also may decline in price, even though in theory they are already underpriced. | Acquiring Fund Target Fund | |
Management Risk. The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results. | Acquiring Fund Target Fund | |
Foreign Risks. The risks of investing in securities of foreign issuers, including emerging market issuers, can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange controls, political and economic instability, differences in securities regulation and trading, and foreign taxation issues. Emerging market issuer risk is not a principal risk for the Target Fund. | Acquiring Fund Target Fund | |
Small and Medium Capitalization Companies. Investments in small and medium capitalization companies entail greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies. Often the stock of these companies may be more volatile and less liquid than the stock of more established companies. These stocks may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall stock market. | Acquiring Fund | |
Risks of Investing in REITs. Investing in REITs makes the Fund more susceptible to risks associated with the ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general and may involve duplication of management fees and other expenses. REITs may be less diversified than other pools of securities, may have lower trading volumes and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. | Acquiring Fund | |
Risks of Derivatives. Risks of derivatives include the possible imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to the transaction; risks that the transactions may result in losses that partially or completely offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that the instruments may not be liquid. | Acquiring Fund | |
Limited Number of Holdings Risk. The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities, which could negatively affect the value of the Fund. | Target Fund |

OTHER INFORMATION
Item 15. | Indemnification | |
Indemnification provisions for officers, trustees, and employees of the Registrant are set forth in Article VIII of the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust and Article VIII of its Amended and Restated Bylaws, and are hereby incorporated by reference. See Item 16(1) and (2) below. Under the Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated September 14, 2005, as amended (i) Trustees or officers, when acting in such capacity, shall not be personally liable for any act, omission or obligation of the Registrant or any Trustee or officer except by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office with the Trust; (ii) every Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, the Registrant’s Bylaws and other applicable law; and (iii) in case any shareholder or former shareholder of the Registrant shall be held to be personally liable solely by reason of his being or having been a shareholder of the Registrant or any portfolio or class and not because of his acts or omissions or for some other reason, the shareholder or former shareholder (or his heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives, or, in the case of a corporation or other entity, its corporate or general successor) shall be entitled, out of the assets belonging to the applicable portfolio (or allocable to the applicable class), to be held harmless from and indemnified against all loss and expense arising from such liability in accordance with the Bylaws and applicable law. The Registrant, on behalf of the affected portfolio (or class), shall upon request by the shareholder, assume the defense of any such claim made against the shareholder for any act or obligation of that portfolio (or class). | ||
The Registrant and other investment companies and their respective officers and trustees are insured under a joint Mutual Fund Directors and Officers Liability Policy, issued by ICI Mutual Insurance Company and certain other domestic insurers, with limits up to $80,000,000 (plus an additional $20,000,000 limit that applies to independent directors/trustees only). | ||
Section 16 of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement between the Registrant and Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”) provides that in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of Invesco or any of its officers, directors or employees, that Invesco shall not be subject to liability to the Registrant or to any series of the Registrant, or to any shareholder of any series of the Registrant for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security. Any liability of Invesco to any series of the Registrant shall not automatically impart liability on the part of Invesco to any other series of the Registrant. No series of the Registrant shall be liable for the obligations of any other series of the Registrant. |

Section 9 of the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the “Sub-Advisory Contract”) between Invesco Advisers, Inc., on behalf of Registrant, and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Ltd., Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (each a “Sub-Adviser”, collectively the “Sub-Advisers”) provides that the Sub-Adviser shall not be liable for any costs or liabilities arising from any error of judgment or mistake of law or any loss, suffered by any series of the Registrant or the Registrant in connection with the matters to which the Sub-Advisory Contract relates except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Sub-Adviser in the performance by the Sub-Adviser of its duties or from reckless disregard by the Sub-Adviser of its obligations and duties under the Sub-Advisory Contract. | ||
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
