NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
OF IVY ASSET STRATEGY FUND
TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 6, 2009
_________________________________

We are writing to notify you again of a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of the shareholders of Ivy Asset Strategy Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Ivy Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation), which has been adjourned to a new date of November 6, 2009. The Special Meeting was originally held on January 15, 2009 and subsequently adjourned to July 2, 2009. The Special Meeting will be held at 6300 Lamar Avenue, Overland Park, Kansas, at 4:00 pm, Central Time. The purpose of the Special Meeting is:

	1.		To approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization pursuant to which the Fund would (i) transfer all of its assets and liabilities to a corresponding new series of Ivy Funds, a newly formed Delaware statutory trust (the “New Trust”), that has the identical name (the “New Fund”) in exchange for shares of beneficial interest of the New Fund, (ii) distribute such shares to its shareholders and (iii) be dissolved.

	2.		To transact such other business as may properly be presented at the Special Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

The above proposal is described in detail in the Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders and Joint Proxy Statement, each dated November 19, 2008.

The Board of Directors of the Corporation recommends you vote “FOR”
the reorganization and subsequent dissolution of the Existing Fund, for the
reasons discussed in the Joint Proxy Statement.

To comply with applicable law with respect to the record date for an adjourned shareholder meeting, the Board of Directors of the Corporation has established a new record date of August 7, 2009 for the adjourned Special Meeting. Although shareholders of the Fund that voted, voted overwhelmingly to approve the Plan of Reorganization, approval of the proposal requires an affirmative vote of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding shares. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on the new record date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the adjourned Special Meeting (and any further adjournments thereof).

IF YOU WERE NOT A SHAREHOLDER AS OF THE RECORD DATE OF EITHER THE JANUARY 15, 2009 SPECIAL MEETINGOR THE JULY 2, 2009 ADJOURNED SPECIAL MEETING, and have not previously received a copy of the Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders and Joint Proxy Statement,we have enclosed a copy.

Update, standardize and streamline the Fund’s investment restrictions.

The reorganization will not result in any increase in the managementfee paid by the Fund. The reorganization will also not result in any material change intheinvestment objective(s) or principal investment strategies of the Fund.Immediately afterthe reorganization: the investment manager, portfoliomanager(s) and other serviceproviders for the New Fund will be the same asthey were for the Fund prior to itsreorganization; the servicesprovided by those service providers for the New Fund will bethe same as theywere for the Fund prior to its reorganization; and the New Fund willoffer the same services to shareholders as are currently provided by theFund. Detailedinformation about the proposal is contained in the enclosed materials.

Please take a minute to cast your vote. The Board of Directors recommends you vote “FOR” the proposal.
