SHAREHOLDER MEETING ADJOURNED TO NOVEMBER 28, 2011

Dear Shareholder:
Enclosed is a proxy card you can use to vote on the Invesco Fund mergers.
I realize that casting your vote may not be your priority for today, but the Invesco Funds listed in the enclosed noticereally need your vote. So we’ve tried to make it quick and easy for you, and I’m asking you to cast your vote on the enclosed card or by following the instructions in the enclosed notice.
WHY WE NEED YOUR VOTE
We’ve had to adjourn previous shareholders meetings to merge the Invesco Funds because there wasn’t sufficient voting participation from shareholders to approve the proposals.
Without your vote we won’t be able to pass the proposal(s) to merge your fund(s) into the acquiring Invesco Funds.
We really need your vote as part of the process of integrating the Van Kampen/Morgan Stanley retail investment capabilities into the Invesco product line.
Please take a moment to vote today.YOUR VOTE COUNTS! See the enclosed card or notice on how to submit your vote.
If you have any questions or need more information, please call our proxy information line at 1-800-959-4246, or contact your financial representative. Proxy materials and other fund literature may be reviewed and downloaded online atwww.invesco.com.
Thank you,
Sincerely,
