Joint Special Meeting of the Shareholders to be held January 26, 2010

Dear Investors:

I am writing to ask for your vote on an important matter concerning your investment in the BB&T Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Mid Cap Growth Fund”) and the BB&T Small Cap Fund (the “Small Cap Fund”) (collectively, the “Acquired Funds”). The Board of Trustees of BB&T Funds (the “Trustees”) have called a special meeting of shareholders of the Acquired Funds (the “Meeting”) to be held on January 26, 2010 at 10:00 am Eastern time at the offices of PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc., BB&T Funds’ sub-administrator, at 99 High Street, 27th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02110. The attached Combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus seeks shareholder approval of the following proposals that will be considered at the Meeting:

(1) To approve the following fund consolidations in accordance with Agreements and Plans of Reorganization, pursuant to which each Acquired Fund will transfer all of its assets and liabilities to the corresponding Acquiring Fund listed opposite each Acquired Fund’s name in the chart in exchange for shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund:


Acquired Fund		Acquiring Fund

Mid Cap Growth Fund		BB&T Mid Cap Value Fund
Small Cap Fund		Sterling Capital Small Cap Value Fund

If the consolidation pertaining to your Acquired Fund is approved by shareholders, you will have an interest in the corresponding Acquiring Fund on February 1, 2010. No sales charges or redemption fees will be imposed as a result of each consolidation. Additionally, the consolidations are intended to be tax-free reorganizations for federal income tax purposes.

At a meeting held on November 17, 2009, the Trustees unanimously approved the proposed consolidations and concluded that the consolidations are in the best interests of each Acquired and Acquiring Fund and their respective shareholders. BB&T Asset Management, Inc., the investment adviser for the Mid Cap Growth Fund, BB&T Mid Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Fund, and Sterling Capital Management LLC, the investment adviser for the Sterling Capital Small Cap Value Fund and the investment sub-adviser for the BB&T Mid Cap Value Fund, recommended the consolidations based on several factors, including the belief that the consolidations may offer shareholders of each of the Acquired Funds enhanced investment management efficiencies, greater market leverage and market presence, economies of scale and greater opportunities for asset growth.

(2) To transact such other business as may properly come before the Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof.

After careful consideration, the Trustees recommend that shareholders of the Mid Cap Growth Fund and Small Cap Fund vote “FOR” the proposal.

Voting is quick and easy. To cast your vote, simply complete the enclosed proxy card and return it by mail in the postage-paid envelope provided, or vote by telephone or the Internet by following the instructions provided on the proxy card. When you vote your proxy, you tell us how to vote on your behalf on important issues relating to your Fund. If you simply sign the proxy without specifying a vote, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Trustees of BB&T Funds. Your vote is very important regardless of the number of shares you hold. In order to avoid the added cost of follow-up solicitations and possible adjournments, please take the time to read the Combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus and cast your vote as soon as possible.

Should you have any questions before you vote, please call 1-800-228-1872.

COMBINED PROSPECTUS/PROXY STATEMENT

This Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies from the holders of units of beneficial interest (“Shares”) of BB&T Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Mid Cap Growth Fund”) and BB&T Small Cap Fund (the “Small Cap Fund,” and together with the Mid Cap Growth Fund, the “Acquired Funds”) by the Board of Trustees of BB&T Funds (the “Trustees”) for use at a Joint Special Meeting of shareholders to approve Agreements and Plans of Reorganization (each, a “Reorganization Plan,” and together, the “Reorganization Plans”) providing for the consolidation of the Mid Cap Growth Fund with and into the BB&T Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Mid Cap Value Fund”) and the consolidation of Small Cap Fund with and into the Sterling Capital Small Cap Value Fund (the “Small Cap Value Fund,” and together with the Mid Cap Value Fund, the “Acquiring Funds”).

Shareholders of record of each Acquired Fund on November 17, 2009 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Joint Special Meeting. The consolidations contemplate the transfer of all the assets and liabilities of each of the Acquired Funds to the corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all liabilities of the Acquired Fund, followed by the dissolution and liquidation of the Acquired Funds, and the distribution of Acquiring Fund Shares to shareholders of the Acquired Funds (the “Transactions”).

As a result of the proposed Transactions, shareholders of each Acquired Fund will receive a number of full and fractional Shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund equal in value at the date of the exchange to the value of the net assets of such Acquired Fund Shares transferred to the corresponding Acquiring Fund attributable to the shareholder (based on the proportion of outstanding Shares of the Acquired Fund owned at the time by the shareholder). It is expected that the Transactions will not result in recognition of any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. However, the Transactions will end the tax year of the Acquired Funds, likely accelerating taxable distributions from the Acquired Funds to shareholders. Mid Cap Growth Fund shareholders holding Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C Shares will receive Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C Shares, respectively, of the Mid Cap Value Fund. Small Cap Fund shareholders holding Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C Shares, will receive Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C Shares, respectively, of the Small Cap Value Fund. As of the date of this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement, only Sterling Shares are being offered by the Small Cap Value Fund. However, in connection with the consolidations described herein, Sterling Shares of the Small Cap Value Fund will be renamed Institutional Shares and issued to the shareholders of Institutional Shares of the Small Cap Fund on February 1, 2010, the anticipated effective date of the proposed Transactions (the “Exchange Date”), and Class A, B and C Shares of the Small Cap Value Fund will commence operations and be issued to the respective shareholders of Class A, B and C Shares of the Small Cap Fund on the Exchange Date.

The Mid Cap Growth Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Fund and Small Cap Value Fund are portfolios (“series”) of BB&T Funds, which is an open-end management investment company consisting of 25 separate series. BB&T Asset Management, Inc. (“BB&TAM”) serves as the investment adviser for the Small Cap Fund, Mid Cap Growth Fund, and Mid Cap Value Fund. Sterling Capital Management LLC (“Sterling”) serves as the investment adviser for the Small Cap Value Fund and investment sub-adviser for the Mid Cap Value Fund.

This Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement explains concisely what you should know before voting on the proposals described in this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement or investing in the Acquiring Funds. Please read it carefully and keep it for future reference. The current Statement of Additional Information of BB&T Funds for the Mid Cap Growth Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Fund dated February 1, 2009, as supplemented (the “BB&T SAI”) and the current Statement of Additional Information of the Small Cap Value Fund dated February 1, 2009, as supplemented (the “Small Cap Value SAI”) have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and are incorporated by reference into this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

PROPOSAL A

APPROVAL OF AGREEMENTS AND PLANS OF REORGANIZATION

At a meeting held on November 17, 2009, the Trustees of BB&T Funds (the “Trustees”) unanimously approved Reorganization Plans pursuant to which each Acquired Fund would be consolidated with and into the corresponding Acquiring Fund on or about the Exchange Date. On the Exchange Date, each Acquired Fund will transfer all of its assets and liabilities to the corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange for Acquiring Fund Shares having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate value of the net assets acquired from the Acquired Fund. The assets and liabilities of the Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Funds (the “Funds”) will be valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the business day preceding the Exchange Date. Following the transfer, each Acquired Fund will be dissolved and Shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund received by each Acquired Fund will be distributed to that Acquired Fund’s shareholders in liquidation of such Acquired Fund. As a result of the proposed Transactions, shareholders of each Acquired Fund will receive a number of full and fractional Shares equal in value at the date of the exchange to the value of the net assets of such Acquired Fund held by the shareholders (based on the proportion of the outstanding Shares of the Acquired Fund owned at the time by the shareholder). Shareholders of Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional Shares of each Acquired Fund will receive Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional Shares, respectively, of the corresponding Acquiring Fund.

For the reasons set forth below under “Reasons for the Proposed Transactions,” the Trustees, including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of BB&T Funds as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously concluded that participation in the proposed Transactions is in the best interests of each of the Acquiring Funds, Acquired Funds and their respective existing shareholders. In reaching this conclusion, the Trustees considered, among other things:

(1) the objectives, strategies, restrictions and investment portfolios of each Acquiring Fund and each corresponding Acquired Fund;

(2) the qualifications and experience of BB&TAM and Sterling and the portfolio managers of each Acquiring Fund, and the performance history of each Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund;

(3) the investment management efficiencies that may be gained and the potential economies of scale which could be realized;

(4) the continuation of all shareholder services currently provided to shareholders of the Acquired Funds;

(5) the projected expense ratios as compared to the existing expense ratios of the corresponding Acquired Fund;

(6) the advantages of aggregating the assets of the Acquiring Funds and Acquired Funds;

(7) the fact that any direct consolidation expense will be borne by Sterling and BB&TAM;

(8) the fact that the Transactions are expected to not result in a recognition of any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes;

(9) the fact that the potential benefits of the Transactions are expected to outweigh any negative potential direct or indirect consequences of the Transactions, including direct or indirect federal income tax consequences, to the shareholders of both Acquired Funds;

(10) that the economic interests of shareholders of the Acquiring Funds and Acquired Funds will not be diluted as a result of the proposed Transactions; and

(11) the recommendations of BB&TAM and Sterling in favor of the Transactions.

An Acquired Fund shareholder who does not wish to be reorganized into the applicable Acquiring Fund will not be entitled under either Massachusetts law or BB&T Funds’ Declaration of Trust to demand payment for or an appraisal of his or her Acquired Fund Shares if the reorganization is consummated over his or her objection. Shares of each Acquired Fund are, however, redeemable for cash at their net asset value on days on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading. If you redeem your shares you may recognize a taxable gain or loss based on the difference between your tax basis in the shares and the amount you receive for them.

FEE TABLES

The following tables (1) compare the current fees and expenses of each Acquired and Acquiring Fund as of September 30, 2009 and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for each class of Shares of the combined fund, on a pro forma basis.

(12)		Sterling, the Fund’s Adviser, has agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee or reimburse expenses to the extent Net Fund Operating Expenses exceed 1.15% with respect to Institutional Class Shares, 1.40% with respect to Class A Shares, 2.15% with respect to Class B Shares, and 2.15% with respect to Class C Shares for the period from February 1, 2010 through January 31, 2011. Additionally, the Distributor has agreed to limit the distribution and shareholder service (12b-1) fees for Class A Shares to 0.25%, for the same period.

Example: This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in each Acquired and Acquiring Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

SYNOPSIS

Summary. The following is a synopsis of certain information relating to the Transactions and is qualified by reference to the more complete information contained in this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement, the BB&T SAI, the Small Cap Value SAI, and the Appendices attached hereto.

Key Features of Transaction. The shareholders of the Acquired Funds are being asked to approve the Reorganization Plans adopted by the Trustees dated as of December 16, 2009, copies of which are attached to this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement as Appendices A and B. The Reorganization Plans provide, among other things, for the transfer of all of the assets of each Acquired Fund to the corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange for the assumption by that Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund and for a number of Shares of the designated class calculated based on the value of the net assets of the corresponding Acquired Fund acquired by that Acquiring Fund and the net asset value per Share of the Acquiring Fund, all as more fully described below under “Information about the Transactions.” After receipt of Shares, each Acquired Fund will dissolve, distributing the Shares to its shareholders in complete liquidation. Prior to the date of such transfer (the “Exchange Date”), each Acquired Fund will declare a distribution to its shareholders which, together with all previous distributions, will have the effect of distributing to its shareholders all of its investment company taxable income (computed without regard to the deduction for dividends paid), if any, and net realized capital gains, if any, through the Exchange Date.

At a meeting held on November 17, 2009, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, voted unanimously to approve the Transactions and to recommend that shareholders of each Acquired Fund also approve the Transactions. Approval of each Reorganization Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast by the corresponding Acquired Fund.

A shareholder of an Acquired Fund objecting to the proposed Transactions is not entitled under either Massachusetts law or BB&T Funds’ Declaration of Trust to demand payment for or an appraisal of his or her particular Shares if a Transaction is consummated over his or her objection. However, Shares of each Acquired Fund are redeemable for cash at their net asset value on days on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading. If you redeem your Shares, you may recognize a taxable gain or loss based on the difference between your tax basis in the Shares and the amount you receive for them.

In the event that this proposal is not approved by the shareholders of an Acquired Fund, such Acquired Fund will continue to be managed as a separate fund in accordance with its current investment objectives and policies, and the Trustees of BB&T Funds may consider alternatives in the best interests of the shareholders. Each Transaction is not contingent on the approval of the other Transaction.

Comparison. Below is a brief comparison of the principal investment objectives and strategies of the Mid Cap Growth Fund to the Mid Cap Value Fund and the Small Cap Fund to the Small Cap Value Fund. The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by the disclosure on such subjects contained in this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement, the BB&T SAI and the Small Cap Value Fund SAI. For a full and detailed description of permitted investments, see such applicable documents. For more information about the characteristics of the classes of Shares offered by the Funds see “Distribution, Purchase and Redemption Procedures and Exchange Rights” below, as well as “Shareholder Information” below.

The proposed Transactions may result in higher than normal portfolio turnover, which, in turn, may result in greater brokerage and other transaction costs that would be borne by the Funds and their shareholders. It may also result in the Funds realizing greater capital gains, distributions of which are taxable to shareholders. The portfolio turnover rates are shown for the Funds in the Financial Highlights section.

Investment Objectives


Acquired Fund		Acquiring Fund

Mid Cap Growth Fund. The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.		Mid Cap Value Fund. The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing the Fund’s assets primarily in equity securities of companies that are considered to be undervalued.
Small Cap Fund. The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity and equity- related securities of small capitalization companies.		Small Cap Value Fund. The Fund seeks maximum long-term total return consistent with reasonable risk to principal, by investing primarily in equity securities.

Principal Investment Strategies

Mid Cap Growth Fund. To pursue its investment objective, the Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes in the securities of middle capitalization companies. Middle capitalization companies are defined as companies with market capitalizations within the range of those companies in the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index (at the time of purchase), which as of September 30, 2009 represented a range of approximately $350 million — $15 billion. The securities may include common stock, preferred stock, warrants, or debt instruments that are convertible to common stock. The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, primarily in domestically traded U.S. common stocks and U.S. traded equity stocks of foreign companies whose capitalization is within the range of those companies in the Russell Midcap Growth^® Index and that have an established record of growth and continue to present significant growth potential. In selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio manager will consider growth factors such as a company’s new products, changes in management, and business restructurings. The portfolio manager will also search for companies that have established records of earnings and sales growth that it believes are poised to meet or exceed these figures going forward. These companies generally will have lower amounts of long-term debt (representing less than 40% of the company’s capitalization); have attractive price/earnings ratios in relation to a company’s 3- to 5-year earnings per share growth rate; and have stock prices which have outperformed the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index over the previous six months. The portfolio manager will attempt to avoid overweighting the Fund’s position on any major market sector (over 10% of the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index) beyond 150% of the weighting that sector has in the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index.		Mid Cap Value Fund. To pursue its investment objective, the Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes in the securities of middle capitalization companies. Middle capitalization companies are defined as companies with market capitalizations between $500 million and $20 billion at the time of purchase. Securities in which the Fund invests may include common stock, preferred stock, warrants, or debt instruments that are convertible to common stock. The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, primarily in domestically traded U.S. common stocks and U.S. traded equity stocks of foreign companies whose capitalization is between $500 million and $20 billion. In managing the Fund, the portfolio manager attempts to diversify across different economic sectors, selecting those stocks that he believes are undervalued. In choosing individual stocks, the portfolio manager utilizes both a quantitative and qualitative approach to examine the fundamental characteristics of a particular company. Quantitative analysis focuses on businesses with strong cash flow, balance sheet strength, and above average profitability. Qualitative characteristics the portfolio manager looks for include companies with a sustainable competitive advantage and a strong management team focused on creating shareholder value. The Fund may engage in securities lending.
The portfolio manager may sell a stock if a company fails to meet earnings or revenue expectations or becomes overvalued (i.e., high price/earnings ratio relative to its earnings growth). The portfolio manager may also sell a stock to change the Fund’s weighting in a particular company, industry or sector, or if better opportunities are available. The Fund may engage in securities lending.


Acquired Fund		Acquiring Fund

Small Cap Fund. To pursue its investment objective, the Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes in the common stocks of small companies with market capitalization less than $3 billion (at the time of purchase). The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, primarily in domestically traded U.S. common stocks and U.S. traded equity stocks of foreign companies whose capitalization is less than $3 billion and which the portfolio manager believes are undervalued and have a favorable outlook. In managing the Fund’s portfolio, the portfolio manager initially screens from the universe of companies with market capitalization under $3 billion. The portfolio manager then attempts to diversify across different economic sectors selecting those stocks that he believes have a favorable outlook. In choosing individual stocks the portfolio manager uses a quantitative process to examine the financial and valuation characteristics of a particular issuer. The Fund may engage in securities lending.		Small Cap Value Fund. To pursue its investment objective, the Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus borrowings in the securities of small capitalization companies. Currently, small capitalization companies are defined as companies whose market capitalization, at the time of purchase, is less than $3 billion. The Fund invests primarily in U.S. traded equity securities of small capitalization companies. Sterling’s (the “Adviser”) investment process focuses on attempting to identify securities that are priced below the estimated value of their underlying business. The Adviser examines factors it believes are relevant to the worth of an ongoing business using traditional fundamental securities analysis. Such factors may include balance sheet quality, sustainable earnings power, industry stability, capital intensity, reinvestment opportunities, and management talent. The Adviser’s sell discipline is as important as its buy discipline. The Adviser reviews stocks that underperform their sector and may choose to sell those stocks which fail to demonstrate fundamental progress. The Adviser generally will not sell a security merely due to market appreciation outside the target capitalization range if it believes the company has growth potential.
		The Fund may engage in securities lending.

In addition to the investment objectives and strategies described above, each Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund has adopted certain fundamental and non-fundamental investment restrictions. Please refer to Appendix C for a summary of these fundamental and non-fundamental restrictions across the Acquired and Acquiring Funds.

Distribution, Purchase and Redemption Procedures and Exchange Rights. Distribution, purchase and redemption procedures and exchange rights will be identical for each Acquired Fund and corresponding Acquiring Fund.

Federal Tax Considerations. For federal income tax purposes, it is intended, although not free from doubt, that each Transaction will qualify as a tax-free reorganization. Accordingly, the Transactions are expected not to result in the recognition of gain or loss for federal income tax purposes for any of the Funds or the shareholders of any Fund, and the aggregate tax basis of the Acquiring Fund Shares received by a shareholder of an Acquired Fund is expected to equal the aggregate tax basis of that shareholder’s Acquired Fund Shares. At any time prior to the consummation of the Transactions, a shareholder may redeem Shares, likely resulting in recognition of gain or loss to such shareholder for federal income tax purposes.

Since the Transactions will end the tax year of each Acquired Fund, it may accelerate distributions from the Acquired Funds to shareholders. Specifically, each Acquired Fund will recognize any net investment company taxable income, any net tax-exempt investment income and any net capital gains, including those realized on disposition of portfolio securities in connection with the Transactions (after reduction by any available capital loss

carryforwards) or net capital losses in the short tax year ending on the date of the consolidation, and will declare and pay a distribution of such income and any such net capital gains remaining after reduction by any available capital loss carryforwards to its shareholders on or before that date.

In addition to dispositions of Acquired Fund portfolio assets that are determined to be under-performing, a portion, and potentially up to two-thirds, of the portfolio assets of each Acquired Fund may be sold prior to and in connection with the Transactions. The actual tax impact of such sales will depend on the difference between the price at which such portfolio assets are sold and the Acquired Fund’s basis in such assets. Any net capital gains recognized in these sales would, if and to the extent that they exceed the Acquired Fund’s available capital loss carryforwards, be distributed to the Acquired Fund’s shareholders as capital gain dividends (to the extent of net realized long-term capital gains distributed) and/or ordinary dividends (to the extent of net realized short-term capital gains distributed) with respect to the year of sale, and such distributions in general will be taxable to shareholders. Each of the Acquired Funds anticipates that it will be able to offset any net capital gains recognized in such sales with its capital loss carryforwards, and accordingly that these pre-Transaction sales will not result in additional taxable distributions to shareholders, although this will depend on the facts at the time any such portfolio assets are sold. For details regarding the amount of the capital loss carryforwards of each Acquired Fund, see “Information About the Transactions-Federal Income Tax Consequences” below.

The cost basis and holding period of Shares in each Acquired Fund are expected to carry over to new Shares in the respective Acquiring Fund.

Each Acquiring Fund’s ability to utilize its own and/or the corresponding Acquired Fund’s pre-Transaction losses to offset post-Transaction gains of the combined fund may be limited as a result of the Transaction due to loss limitation rules under federal tax law. As a result, shareholders of the Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Funds could receive taxable distributions sooner and in larger amounts than they would have if the Transactions had not occurred.

For more information about the federal income tax consequences of the Transactions, see “Information About the Transactions — Federal Income Tax Consequences” below.

Risks. Below is a brief comparison of the principal risk factors of the Mid Cap Growth Fund to the Mid Cap Value Fund and the Small Cap Fund to the Small Cap Value Fund. The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by the disclosure on such subjects contained in this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement, the BB&T SAI and the Small Cap Value Fund SAI. For a full and detailed description of permitted investments, see such applicable documents.

Principal Risk Factors


		Mid Cap	Mid Cap
Principal Risk	Explanation	Growth Fund	Value Fund

Market Risk	Market risk is the possibility that a Fund’s stock holdings will decline in price because of a broad stock market decline. Markets generally move in cycles, with periods of rising prices followed by periods of falling prices. The value of your investment will tend to increase or decrease in response to these movements.	X	X
Investment Style Risk — Mid Cap Growth Stocks	Investment style risk is the possibility that the market segment on which a Fund focuses — mid cap growth stocks — will underperform other kinds of investments or market averages. Short-term events, such as a failure to meet industry earnings expectations, can cause dramatic decreases in the growth stock price compared to other types of stock. Growth stocks may also trade at higher multiples of current earnings compared to value or other stocks, leading to inflated prices and thus potentially greater declines in value.	X


		Mid Cap	Mid Cap
Principal Risk	Explanation	Growth Fund	Value Fund

Investment Style Risk — Mid Cap Value Stocks	Investment style risk is the possibility that the market segment on which a Fund focuses — mid cap value stocks — will underperform other kinds of investments or market averages. A value stock may decrease in price or may not increase in price as anticipated by the adviser if other investors fail to recognize the company’s value or the factors that the adviser believes will cause the stock price to increase do not occur.		X
Company-Specific Risk	Company-specific risk is the possibility that a particular stock held in a Fund may lose value due to factors specific to the company itself, including deterioration of its fundamental characteristics, an occurrence of adverse events at the company, or a downturn in its business prospects.	X	X
Securities Lending Risk	Securities lending involves counterparty risk, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned or returned in a timely manner and/or a loss of rights in the collateral if the borrower or the lending agent default or enters into bankruptcy. This risk is increased when a Fund’s loans are concentrated with a single or limited number of borrowers. In addition, a Fund bears the risk of loss in connection with its investments of the cash collateral it receives from the borrower. To the extent that the value or return of a Fund’s investments of the cash collateral declines below the amount owed to a borrower, a Fund may incur losses that exceed the amount it earned on lending the security.	X	X
Foreign Investment Risk	Foreign securities involve risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities. Foreign securities may be adversely affected by various factors, including currency fluctuations and social, economic or political instability. These risks are particularly pronounced for emerging markets.	X	X

X	X
Small Company Risk	Investing in smaller, lesser-known companies involves greater risk than investing in those that are more established. A small company’s financial well-being may, for example, depend heavily on just a few products or services. In addition, investors may have limited flexibility to buy or sell small company stocks, which tend to trade less frequently than those of larger firms.	X	X

INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRANSACTIONS

Reorganization Plan; Securities. The proposed Reorganization Plans provide that each Acquiring Fund will acquire all of the assets of the corresponding Acquired Fund in exchange for the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the corresponding Acquired Fund as of the Exchange Date (defined in the Reorganization Plans to be on or about February 1, 2010, or such other date as determined by the Trustees). The following discussion of the Reorganization Plans is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Reorganization Plans, which are attached as Appendices A and B to this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

As a result of the Transactions, each shareholder of an Acquired Fund will receive that number of full and fractional Shares equal in value at the Exchange Date to the value of the portion of the net assets of the Acquired Fund transferred to the corresponding Acquiring Fund attributable to the shareholder (based on the proportion of the outstanding Shares of that Acquired Fund owned by the shareholder as of the Valuation Date (defined in the Reorganization Plans to be on or about January 29, 2010)). The portfolio securities of each Acquired Fund will be valued in accordance with the generally employed valuation procedures of BB&T Funds. The consolidations are being accounted for as tax-free business combinations. At a meeting held on November 17, 2009, all of the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined that the consolidations would be in the best interests of the Funds and existing shareholders, and that the economic interests of their existing shareholders would not be diluted as a result of effecting the consolidations.

Immediately following the Exchange Date, each Acquired Fund will distribute pro rata to its shareholders of record as of the close of business on the Exchange Date the full and fractional Shares received by it, and the Acquired Fund will be liquidated and dissolved. Such liquidation and distribution will be accomplished by the establishment of accounts on the Share records of the corresponding Acquiring Fund in the name of the Acquired Fund’s shareholders, each account representing the corresponding number of full and fractional Shares due such shareholder. All Mid Cap Growth Fund shareholders will receive Shares of the class (Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C) of Mid Cap Value Fund that corresponds to the class of the Mid Cap Growth Fund that they hold (Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C, respectively). All Small Cap Fund shareholders will receive Shares of the class (Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C) of Small Cap Value Fund that corresponds to the class of the Small Cap Fund that they hold (Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C, respectively). As of the date of this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement, only Sterling Shares are being offered by the Small Cap Value Fund. However, in connection with the consolidations described herein, Sterling Shares of the Small Cap Value Fund will be renamed Institutional Shares, effective on the Exchange Date, and be issued to the shareholders of Institutional Shares of the Small Cap Fund on the Exchange Date, and Class A, B and C Shares of the Small Cap Value Fund will commence operations and be issued to the respective shareholders of Class A, B and C Shares of the Small Cap Fund on the Exchange Date.

The consummation of the Transactions is subject to the conditions set forth in the Reorganization Plans. The Reorganization Plans may be terminated and the Transactions abandoned at any time, before or after approval by the shareholders, prior to the Exchange Date by BB&T Funds, by consent of its Trustees, or, if any condition set forth in the Reorganization Plans has not been fulfilled and has not been waived by the party entitled to its benefits, by such party. A shareholder of an Acquired Fund objecting to the proposed Transactions is not entitled under either Massachusetts law or BB&T Funds’ Declaration of Trust to demand payment for or an appraisal of his or her particular Shares if a Transaction is consummated over his or her objection. However, Shares of each Acquired Fund are redeemable for cash at their net asset value on days on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading. If you redeem your Shares, you may recognize a taxable gain or loss based on the difference between your tax basis in the Shares and the amount you receive for them.

Fees and expenses incurred by the Funds as a direct result of the Transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Plans, will be borne by Sterling, including the costs of proxy materials, proxy solicitations and legal expenses. BB&TAM will bear a portion of the legal expenses incurred as a direct result of the Transactions. Fees and expenses not incurred directly in connection with the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Plans will be paid by the party directly incurring such expenses. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, fees and expenses shall in any event be paid by the party directly incurring such fees and expenses if and to the extent that the payment by Sterling or BB&TAM of such fees and expenses would result in the

disqualification of such party as a regulated investment company within the meaning of Section 851 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The Trustees have determined that the interests of the existing shareholders of each of the Acquired Funds and Acquiring Funds will not be diluted as a result of the Transactions. Full and fractional Shares will be issued to each Acquired Fund’s shareholders in accordance with the Reorganization Plans as described above. Each Acquiring Fund Share will be fully paid and nonassessable when issued, will be transferable without restriction, and will have no preemptive or conversion rights.

BB&T Funds’ Declaration of Trust permits BB&T Funds to divide its Shares of any series, without shareholder approval, into one or more classes of Shares having such variations as to dividend, redemption, and voting rights, net asset values, expenses borne by the classes, and other matters as the Trustees have authorized, provided that each Share of a class shall represent an equal proportionate interest in the assets and liabilities of the class with each other Share of the same class, none having priority or preference over another.

Under Massachusetts law, BB&T Funds’ shareholders, could, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of BB&T Funds. However, the Declaration of Trust disclaims shareholder liability for acts or obligations of BB&T Funds. The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of BB&T Funds’ property for all losses and expenses of any shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of BB&T Funds. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which BB&T Funds would be unable to meet its obligations. The likelihood of such circumstances is remote.

Reasons for the Proposed Transactions. A meeting of the Trustees was held on November 17, 2009, at which all of the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined that the Transactions would be in the best interests of existing shareholders of the Funds. The Trustees also unanimously determined that the economic interests of such shareholders would not be diluted as a result of effecting the Transactions. At this same meeting, all of the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously adopted the Reorganization Plans and recommended that shareholders of the Acquired Funds approve the Transactions.

In approving and recommending that shareholders of each Acquired Fund approve the Transactions, the Trustees acted upon information provided to them indicating that the Transactions would operate in the best interests of the Acquired and Acquiring Funds’ existing shareholders. In particular, the Trustees considered the following details:

(1) The objectives, strategies, restrictions and investment portfolios of each Acquiring Fund and each corresponding Acquired Fund.

The Trustees noted that both Mid Cap Growth Fund and Mid Cap Value Fund seek long-term growth of capital, and that Mid Cap Value Fund seeks to achieve this goal by investing the Fund’s assets primarily in equity securities of companies that are considered to be undervalued. The Trustees noted that Small Cap Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity and equity-related securities of small capitalization companies, whereas the Small Cap Value Fund seeks maximum long-term total return consistent with reasonable risk to principal, by investing primarily in equity securities.

The Trustees noted that the Acquired Funds and their respective Acquiring Funds share reasonably similar investment strategies. The Trustees noted that both Mid Cap Growth Fund and Mid Cap Value Fund invest in securities of middle capitalization companies. They noted that the Mid Cap Value Fund defines “middle capitalization” as between $500 million and $20 billion, whereas the Mid Cap Growth Fund defines “middle capitalization” by reference to the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index — a range of approximately $350 million — 15 billion as of September 30, 2009. The Trustees noted that both Mid Cap Growth Fund and Mid Cap Value Fund invest primarily in domestically traded U.S. common stocks and U.S. traded equity stocks of foreign companies. The Trustees noted that both Small Cap Fund and Small Cap Value Fund invest in securities of small capitalization companies, which are defined as companies whose market capitalization at the time of purchase is less than $3 billion. The Trustees noted that, under certain market conditions, certain growth stocks may also be considered value stocks while noting important differences between the value approach of the Acquiring Funds and

the growth and core approach of the Mid Cap Growth Fund and Small Cap Fund, respectively. The Board concluded that the value approach generally could be expected to serve the interests of investors.

The Trustees noted that the investment restrictions of the Acquiring Funds and the Acquired Funds are substantially similar. The Trustees considered the overlap in the portfolio compositions of each Acquired Fund and the corresponding Acquiring Fund.

(2) The qualifications and experience of BB&TAM, Sterling and the portfolio managers of each of the Acquiring Funds, and the performance history of each Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund.

The Trustees noted the experience and qualifications of Mr. Timothy P. Beyer, CFA, who has served as portfolio manager of the Mid Cap Value Fund since July 2005. They noted that Sterling has served as sub-adviser for Mid Cap Value Fund since July 2005.

The Trustees reviewed the experience and qualifications of Mr. Eduardo Brea, who is responsible for day-to-day investment decisions for the Small Cap Value Fund. They noted that Mr. Brea joined Sterling in 1995 and has over 16 years of investment experience. They noted that Sterling has served as investment adviser for the Small Cap Value Fund since July 2006 and its predecessor fund since 2001.

The Trustees reviewed and compared the performance history of the Acquiring Funds and Acquired Funds. The Trustees noted that the performance history of each Acquiring Fund generally compares favorably to the performance history of the corresponding Acquired Fund.

(3) The investment management efficiencies that may be gained and the potential economies of scale which could be realized.

The Trustees noted that the proposed Transactions would enable shareholders of the Funds to invest in a larger combined fund with increased long-term growth prospects, which can potentially use increased asset size to achieve greater portfolio diversification, and spread relative fixed costs over a larger asset base.

(4) The continuation of all shareholder services currently provided to shareholders of the Acquired Funds.

The Trustees noted that no change in shareholder services provided to shareholders of the Acquired Funds were anticipated.

(5) The projected expense ratios as compared to the existing expense ratios of the corresponding Acquired Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Mid Cap Value Fund’s total expense ratios for the period ended September 30, 2009 compared favorably to the Mid Cap Growth Fund’s total expense ratios. Further, the projected expense ratios for the Mid Cap Value Fund also compared favorably. The Trustees also noted that BB&TAM has agreed to limit the management fees paid by the Mid Cap Value Fund to 0.70% for the period from February 1, 2010 through January 31, 2011.

The Trustees noted that the total expense ratios for the Small Cap Fund were lower than the total expense ratios for the Small Cap Value Fund. However, the Trustees also noted that the projected expense ratios for the Small Cap Value Fund are lower than the current expense ratios for the Small Cap Fund. In addition, the Trustees noted that Sterling has agreed to waive its advisory fee or reimburse expenses to the extent Net Fund Operating Expenses exceed 1.15% for Institutional Class Shares, 1.40% for Class A Shares, 2.15% for Class B Shares and 2.15% for Class C Shares for the period from February 1, 2010 through January 31, 2011. The Trustees also noted that Sterling has agreed to limit the management fees paid by the Small Cap Value Fund to 0.80% for the same period.

(6) The advantages of aggregating the assets of the Acquired Funds and Acquiring Funds.

Over the past two years, net assets of the Mid Cap Growth Fund have declined from $212.2 million on September 30, 2007 to $88 million on September 30, 2009, and the net assets of the Small Cap Fund have declined

from $94.6 million on September 30, 2007 to $27.8 million on September 30, 2009. The assets of the Acquiring Funds have also declined. The consolidation is expected to result in greater investment leverage and market presence for the Acquiring Funds. In addition, former Acquired Fund shareholders would benefit from lower expenses and the resulting economies of scale attributable to the larger asset size of the Acquiring Funds, as noted above.

(7) The fact that any direct consolidation expense will be borne by Sterling and BB&TAM.

The fees and expenses incurred directly in connection with the consummation of the Transactions will be borne by Sterling and BB&TAM.

(8) The fact that the Transactions are expected to not result in the recognition of any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

The Trustees were informed that the proposed Transactions involving the Acquiring Funds would occur only if it could be accomplished without resulting in the imposition of federal income taxes on any of the Funds or any of their shareholders as a direct result of the Transactions.

(9) The fact that the potential benefits of the Transactions will outweigh any negative potential direct or indirect consequences of the Transactions to the shareholders of the Acquired Funds.

The Trustees considered a potentially negative consequence of the Transactions to the shareholders of the Acquired Funds and Acquiring Funds. Among potential negative direct or indirect consequences is the potential for the Transactions to result in a limitation on the ability of the combined Funds to use certain of their net capital loss carryforwards. See “Federal Income Tax Consequences” for additional information.

The Board determined that the potential benefits to be gained from the proposed Transactions outweigh the potentially negative direct or indirect consequences of the Transactions on the former shareholders of the Acquired Funds. Benefits include reduced or consistent expenses and reduced transaction costs, anticipated economies of scale from increased assets, a solid performance record, and the potential for greater growth through the sale of fund shares.

(10) The fact that the economic interests of shareholders of each of the Acquiring and Acquired Funds will not be diluted as a result of the proposed Transactions.

The Trustees were informed that the interests of each Acquired and Acquiring Fund’s shareholders would not be diluted as a result of the proposed Transactions, and that each Acquired Fund’s shareholders would receive, in the aggregate, Shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund equal in value to the market value of the assets of the Acquired Fund.

(11) The recommendations of BB&TAM and Sterling in favor of the Transactions.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The Transactions are intended to be tax-free reorganizations. As a condition to the relevant Funds’ obligations to consummate each Transaction, BB&T Funds, on behalf of the applicable Funds, will receive an opinion in respect of such Transaction from Ropes & Gray LLP, counsel to BB&T Funds, to the effect that, although not free from doubt, on the basis of the existing provisions of the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, current administrative rules, and court decisions, generally for federal income tax purposes, except as noted below: (i) the Transaction will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund will each be a “party to a reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code; (ii) under Section 1032 of the Code, no gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Fund upon the receipt of the assets of the Acquired Fund in exchange for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund; (iii) under Section 362(b) of the Code, the basis in the hands of the Acquiring Fund of the assets of the Acquired Fund transferred to the Acquiring Fund in the Transaction will be the same as the basis of such assets in the hands of the Acquired Fund immediately prior to the

transfer; (iv) under Section 1223(2) of the Code, the holding periods of the assets of the Acquired Fund in the hands of the Acquiring Fund will include the periods during which such assets were held by the Acquired Fund; (v) under Section 361 of the Code, no gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquired Fund upon the transfer of the Acquired Fund’s assets to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund, or upon the distribution of Acquiring Fund Shares by the Acquired Fund to its shareholders in liquidation; (vi) under Section 354 of the Code, no gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquired Fund’s shareholders upon the exchange of their Shares for Acquiring Fund Shares; (vii) under Section 358 of the Code, the aggregate tax basis of Acquiring Fund Shares an Acquired Fund shareholder receives in connection with the Transaction will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of his or her Acquired Fund Shares exchanged therefor; (viii) under Section 1223(1) of the Code, an Acquired Fund shareholder’s holding period for his or her Acquiring Fund Shares will be determined by including the period for which he or she held the Acquired Fund Shares exchanged therefor, provided that he or she held such Acquired Fund Shares as capital assets; and (ix) the Acquiring Fund will succeed to, and take into account the items of the Acquired Fund described in Section 381(c) of the Code, subject to the conditions and limitations specified in Sections 381, 382, 383 and 384 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

Ropes & Gray LLP will express no view with respect to the effect of the Transactions on any transferred asset as to which any unrealized gain or loss is required to be recognized under federal income tax principles (i) at the end of a taxable year (or upon the termination thereof), or (ii) upon the transfer of such asset, without reference to whether such a termination or transfer would otherwise be a taxable transaction.

The opinion will be based on certain factual certifications and representations made by the officers of the Funds and will also be based on customary assumptions. The opinion is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts, and does not constitute a guarantee that the tax consequences of the Transactions will be as described above. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service will not take, or a court would not sustain, a contrary position, that the applicable law will not change, or that any such change in law will not have retroactive effect. If a Transaction does not qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Code, the Acquired Fund would recognize gain or loss on the transfer of its assets to the Acquiring Fund and each shareholder of the Acquired Fund would recognize a taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between its tax basis in its Acquired Fund shares and the fair market value of the Acquiring Fund shares it receives. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the Transactions will qualify as tax-free reorganizations.

Each Acquiring Fund’s ability to utilize its own or the corresponding Acquired Fund’s pre-Transaction losses to offset the post-Transaction gains of the combined fund may be limited as a result of the Transactions due to the application of loss limitation rules under federal tax law. In particular, pursuant to sections 382 and 383 of the Code, if a Fund were to experience an “ownership change” as a result of its respective Transaction, the ability of the combined fund to use that Fund’s capital loss carryforwards will be subject to an annual limitation that is, in general, determined by multiplying the value of the outstanding shares of the Fund immediately prior to the Transaction by the then-current long-term tax-exempt rate published monthly by the IRS (the applicable rate for December 2009 is 4.16%). Because a regulated investment company may only carry net capital losses forward for eight years, the impact of the annual limitation may include causing a portion of a Fund’s capital loss carryforwards to expire unused. Moreover, such an annual limitation would also apply to a Fund’s “built-in” (i.e., unrealized) losses that are recognized within five years following the Transaction if, as of the date of the Transaction, those built-in losses exceed certain thresholds.

In general, as between each Acquiring Fund and its corresponding Acquired Fund, the Fund that is smaller in terms of total net assets at the time of its respective Transaction can be expected to experience an ownership change, although it is possible that a Transaction could result in an ownership change for both the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund. It is currently anticipated the Mid Cap Value Fund, which had capital loss carryforwards of approximately $67.7 million as of September 30, 2009, will be smaller than Mid Cap Growth Fund as of the time of the Transactions and will undergo an ownership change. In the case of the consolidation of Small Cap Fund, which had capital loss carryforwards of approximately $22.3 million as of September 30, 2009, with and into Small Cap Value Fund, which had capital loss carryforwards of approximately $6.1 million as of the same date, it is more difficult to predict which Fund will be smaller at the time of the Transaction.

In addition, it is also possible that, for five years following the date of the Transaction, a combined fund will not be allowed to offset “built-in” (i.e., unrealized) gains of either the Acquired Fund or the Acquiring Fund at the time of the Transaction with “built-in” losses or capital loss carryforwards of the other Fund.

The application and effect of these loss limitation rules will depend on the relevant facts and circumstances relating to each Fund’s ownership, net asset value, net realized capital losses and capital loss carryforwards, and unrealized gains and losses as of the time of the Transactions, as well as the timing and amount of gains and losses recognized by each Acquiring Fund following the Transactions. As a result of these limitations, shareholders of the Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Funds could receive distributions that are taxable in the hands of taxable shareholders earlier, and in larger amounts, than they would have if the Transactions had not occurred.

At or before the closing of the Transactions, each Acquired Fund will, and each Acquiring Fund may, declare a distribution to shareholders, which together with all previous distributions, will have the effect of distributing to shareholders all of its investment company taxable income (computed without regard to the deduction for dividends paid) and net capital gain, including those realized on disposition of portfolio securities in connection with the Transactions (after reduction by any available capital loss carryforwards), if any, through the closing of the Transactions. Such distributions will be taxable to shareholders.

This description of the federal income tax consequences of the Transactions is made without regard to the particular facts and circumstances of any shareholder. Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the specific consequences to them of the Transactions, including the applicability and effect of state, local, non-U.S. and other tax laws.

SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION

Choosing a Share Class

Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional Shares have different expenses and other characteristics, allowing you to choose the class that best suits your needs. You should consider the amount you want to invest, how long you plan to have it invested, and whether you plan to make additional investments. Not all Funds or classes may be available for purchase in your state. Your financial representative can help you decide which share class is best for you.

Class A Shares


	•	Front-end sales charge (as described below under “Distribution Arrangements/Sales Charges”);


	•	Distribution and shareholder service fees of 0.50% of average daily net assets for the Small Cap Value Fund and the Small Cap Fund. BB&T AM Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) of the Small Cap Fund has contractually agreed to limit the distribution and shareholder service (12b-1) fees for Class A Shares to 0.25% for the period from February 1, 2009 through January 31, 2010. The Distributor has also agreed to limit the distribution and shareholder service (12b-1) fees for Class A Shares of the Small Cap Value Fund to 0.25% for the period from February 1, 2010 through January 31, 2011. Distribution and shareholder service fees of 0.25% of average daily net assets for the Mid Cap Growth Fund and Mid Cap Value Fund.

Class B Shares

Class B Shares of the Funds are not offered for new purchases. If you currently hold a Class B Share, you may:


	•	Continue as a Class B shareholder;

	•	Continue to reinvest dividends and distributions into Class B Shares; and

	•	Exchange your Class B Shares of a BB&T Fund for Class B Shares of other BB&T Funds, as permitted by existing exchange privileges.


	•	No front-end sales charge; all your money goes to work for you right away.

	•	Distribution and shareholder service (12b-1) fees of 1.00% of average daily net assets.

	•	A deferred sales charge (as described below under “Contingent Deferred Sales Charge”).

	•	Automatic conversion to Class A Shares after eight years, thus reducing future annual expenses.

	•	Maximum investment for all Class B purchases: $250,000.

Class C Shares


	•	No front-end sales charge; all your money goes to work for you right away.

	•	Distribution and shareholder service (12b-1) fees of 1.00% of average daily net assets.

	•	A deferred sales charge (as described below under “Contingent Deferred Sales Charge”).

	•	Maximum investment for all Class C purchases: None

Because 12b-1 fees are paid on an ongoing basis, Class B and Class C shareholders could end up paying more expenses and receive lower dividends over the long term than if they had paid a sales charge.

Institutional Shares


	•	No sales charges.

	•	No distribution and shareholder service (12b-1) fees.


	•	Available only to Branch Banking and Trust Company and its affiliates and other financial service providers approved by the Distributor for the investment of funds for which they act in a fiduciary, advisory, agency, custodial or similar capacity; to individuals or corporations investing $1,500,000 or more; or to employees of BB&TAM.

Investment Amounts

The minimum initial investment in Institutional Shares of the Funds is $1,500,000. An Institutional shareholder’s minimum investment cannot be calculated by combining all accounts he/she maintains with BB&T Funds — rather, the shareholder must meet the minimum amount for each Fund in which he/she wishes to invest. Investors and employees of BB&TAM purchasing Institutional Shares through Branch Banking and Trust Company, its affiliates or other financial service providers approved by the Distributor are not subject to a minimum initial investment requirement.

Generally, expenses applicable to a Fund are allocated to each share class of the Fund on the basis of the relative net assets of each class. Expenses applicable to a particular share class, such as distribution and shareholder service (12b-1) fees, are borne solely by that share class.

-Pricing of Fund Shares

How NAV is Calculated

The per share net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated by adding the total value of the Fund’s investments and other assets, subtracting its liabilities and then dividing that figure by the number of outstanding shares of the Fund:


NAV			=			Total Assets — Liabilities Number of Shares Outstanding

Generally, you can find the Fund’s NAV daily at www.wsj.com/free. NAV is calculated separately for each class of shares.

The per share NAV for each Fund is determined and its shares are priced at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on days the NYSE is open. On any day that the bond or stock markets close early, such as days in advance of or following holidays or in the event of an emergency, the Funds reserve the right to advance the time NAV is determined and by which purchase, redemption, and exchange orders must be received on that day.

Your order for purchase, sale or exchange of shares is priced at the next NAV calculated after your order is accepted by the Fund less any applicable sales charge as noted in the section on “Distribution Arrangements/Sales Charges.” This is what is known as the offering price.

A Fund’s securities are generally valued at current market prices. If market quotations are not readily available, or if available market quotations are determined not to be reliable, or if a security’s value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of trading on the exchange or market on which the security is traded, but before a Fund’s NAV is calculated, prices will be based on fair value as determined by BB&T Funds’ Pricing Committee (the “Pricing Committee”) pursuant to procedures established by BB&T Funds’ Board of Trustees. For further information regarding the methods used in valuing the Fund’s investments, please see “Additional Information About the Funds — Fair Value Pricing Policies” below.

Purchasing and Adding to Your Shares

You may purchase Class A, Class B and Class C Shares of the Funds through banks, brokers and other investment representatives, which may charge additional fees and may require higher minimum investments or impose other limitations on buying and selling shares. If you purchase shares through an investment representative, that party is responsible for transmitting orders by close of business and may have an earlier cut-off time for purchase and sale requests. Not all Funds or classes may be available for purchase in your state. Consult your investment representative or institution for specific information.


	Minimum Initial		Minimum
Account type	Investment		Subsequent

Class A, Class B or Class C
Regular	$	1,000	$	0
Automatic Investment Plan	$	25	$	25

With respect to Class A, Class B and Class C Shares, a Fund may waive its minimum purchase requirement. A Fund’s transfer agent may reject a purchase order if they consider it in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

You may purchase Institutional Shares of the Funds through procedures established by the Distributor in connection with the requirements of fiduciary, advisory, agency, custodial and other similar accounts maintained by or on behalf of customers of Branch Banking and Trust Company or one of its affiliates or other financial service providers approved by the Distributor. Not all Funds or classes may be available for purchase in your state. These parties are responsible for transmitting orders by close of business. Consult your investment representative or institution for specific information.

All purchases must be in U.S. dollars. A fee will be charged for any checks that do not clear. Third-party checks, money orders, credit card convenience checks, cash, traveler’s checks, and checks drawn on foreign

currencies are not accepted. Each Fund or the transfer agent has the right to reject cashiers checks and official checks. In addition, bank starter checks are not accepted for initial purchase into the Funds.

Avoid Tax Withholding

Each Fund is required to withhold a percentage of taxable dividends, capital gains distributions and redemptions paid to shareholders who have not provided the Fund with their certified taxpayer identification number or have otherwise failed to comply with IRS rules. Shareholders are urged to read the additional information concerning withholding provided in the applicable Fund’s Statement of Additional Information and provide a correct Tax Identification Number (Social Security Number for most investors) on the account application.

Directed Dividend Option

By selecting the appropriate box in the account application, you can elect to receive your distributions in cash (check) or have distributions (capital gains and dividends) reinvested in another BB&T Fund without a sales charge. You must maintain the minimum balance in each Fund into which you plan to reinvest dividends or the reinvestment will be suspended and your dividends paid to you. The Fund may modify or terminate this reinvestment option without notice. You can change or terminate your participation in the reinvestment option at any time.

Anti-Money Laundering Program

The Funds’ transfer agent is required by law to obtain certain personal information from you (or a person acting on your behalf) in order to verify your (or such person’s) identity. If this information is not provided, the transfer agent may not be able to open your account. If the transfer agent is unable to verify your identity (or that of another person authorized to act on your behalf), or believes they have identified potentially criminal activity, the Funds, the Distributor and the transfer agent each reserve the right to refuse to open your account, to close your account or to take such other action as they deem reasonable or required by law.

Dividends and Distributions

All dividends and distributions will be automatically reinvested unless you request otherwise. There are no sales charges for reinvested distributions. Class A Shares have higher dividends than Class B and Class C Shares, because Class A Shares have lower distribution expenses than Class B and Class C Shares. Income dividends for the Funds are declared and paid quarterly to the extent they exceed a de minimis amount set by the Board of Trustees.

Distributions are made on a per share basis regardless of how long you have owned your shares. The distribution will be taxable to you even if it is paid from income or gains earned by the Fund before your investment (and thus was included in the price you paid).

Selling Your Shares

You may sell your shares at any time. Your sales price will be the next NAV after your sell order is received by the Fund, its transfer agent, or your investment representative. Normally you will receive your proceeds within a week after your request is received. For more information, see section on “General Policies on Selling Shares” below.

Withdrawing Money from Your Fund Investment

As a mutual fund shareholder, you are technically selling shares when you request a withdrawal in cash. This is also known as redeeming shares or a redemption of shares.

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge

When you sell Class B or Class C Shares, you will be charged a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) for any shares that have not been held for a sufficient length of time.

A CDSC of up to 1.00% of the purchase price will be charged to the following shareholders who received a sales charge waiver and then redeem their shares within two years after purchase: (i) shareholders who purchased $1 million or more; (ii) employees of BB&T Funds, BB&T and its affiliates; and (iii) shareholders who purchased shares with proceeds from redemptions from another mutual fund complex within 60 days of redemption if a sales charge was paid on such shares. This CDSC will be based on the lower of the cost of the shares or their NAV at the time of redemption.

Instructions for Selling Shares

If selling your shares through a financial institution, your financial adviser or broker, you should inquire about redemption procedures. Your adviser and/or broker may have transaction minimums and/or transaction times which will affect your redemption. For all other sales transactions, follow the instructions below.

You must indicate this option on your application.

The Fund will charge a $7 wire transfer fee for each wire transfer request. As of the date of this Combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus, BB&T Funds has waived the $7 wire transfer fee. This waiver is voluntary and may be discontinued at any time. Note: Your financial institution may also charge a separate fee.

Call 1-800-228-1872 to request a wire transfer.

If you call by 4 p.m. Eastern time, your payment will normally be wired to your bank on the next business day.

Electronic Redemptions

Your bank must participate in the ACH and must be a U.S. bank.

Your bank may charge a fee for this service.

Call 1-800-228-1872 to request an electronic redemption.

If you call by 4 p.m. Eastern time, the NAV of your shares will normally be determined on the same day and the proceeds credited within 7 days.

Auto Withdrawal Plan with Respect to Class A, Class B and Class C Shares

With respect to Class A, Class B and Class C Shares, you can receive automatic payments from your account on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. The minimum withdrawal is $25. To activate this feature:


	•	Complete the supplemental sign-up form which you may obtain by calling 1-800-228-1872.

	•	Include a voided personal check.

	•	Your account must have a value of $5,000 or more to start withdrawals.

	•	If the value of your account falls below $1,000, you may be asked to add sufficient funds to bring the account back to $1,000, or the Fund may close your account and mail the proceeds to you.

General Policies on Selling Shares

Redemptions In Writing Required

With respect to Class A, Class B and Class C Shares, you must request redemption in writing if:


	•	You are requesting redemption from an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”).

With respect to Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional Shares, you must request redemption in writing and obtain a Medallion signature guarantee if:


	•	Your account registration or the name(s) on your account has changed within the last 10 business days; or

	•	The check is not being mailed to the address on your account; or

	•	The check is not being made payable to the owner(s) of the account; or

	•	Your account address has changed within the last ten business days; or

	•	The redemption proceeds are being transferred to another Fund account with different registration; or

	•	The redemption proceeds are being wired to bank instructions currently not on your account.

A Medallion signature guarantee can be obtained from a financial institution, such as a bank, broker-dealer, or credit union, or from members of the STAMP (Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program), MSP (New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program) or SEMP (Stock Exchanges Medallion Program). Members are subject to dollar limitations which must be considered when requesting their guarantee. The transfer agent may reject any Medallion signature guarantee if they believe the transaction would otherwise be improper.

Verifying Telephone Redemptions

The Funds make every effort to ensure that telephone redemptions are made only by authorized shareholders. All telephone calls are recorded for your protection and you will be asked for information to verify your identity. Given these precautions, unless you have specifically indicated on your application that you do not want the telephone redemption feature, you may be responsible for any fraudulent telephone orders. If appropriate precautions have not been taken, the transfer agent may be liable for losses due to unauthorized transactions. Telephone transaction privileges, including purchases, redemptions and exchanges by the telephonic instructions or facsimile instructions, may be revoked at the discretion of the Funds without advance notice to shareholders. In such cases, and at times of peak activity when it may be difficult to place requests by phone, transaction requests may be made by regular mail.

Redemptions Within 15 Business Days of Investment

When you have made an investment by check, the proceeds of your redemption may be held up to 15 business days until the transfer agent is satisfied that the check has cleared. You can still avoid this delay by purchasing shares with a certified check or federal funds wire.

Postponement of Redemption Request

Payment for shares may be delayed under extraordinary circumstances or as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to protect remaining shareholders. If you experience difficulty making a telephone redemption during periods of drastic economic or market change, you can send the Funds your redemption request by standard or express mail.

Redemption in Kind

Each Fund reserves the right to make payment in securities rather than cash, known as “redemption in kind.” This could occur under extraordinary circumstances, such as a very large redemption that could affect Fund operations (for example, more than 1% of the Fund’s net assets). If the Fund deems it advisable for the benefit of all

shareholders, redemption in kind will consist of securities equal in market value to your shares. When you convert these securities to cash, you will pay brokerage charges.

Closing of Small Accounts

With respect to Class A, Class B and Class C Shares, if your account falls below $1,000, the Fund may ask you to increase your balance. If your account is still below $1,000 after 60 days, the Fund may close your account and send you the proceeds at the current NAV.

With respect to Institutional Shares, if your account falls below $1,500,000, the Fund may ask you to increase your balance. If it is still below $1,500,000 after 60 days, the Fund may close your account and send you the proceeds at the current NAV.

Undeliverable Distribution Checks

For any shareholder who chooses to receive distributions in cash:

If distribution checks (1) are returned and marked as “undeliverable” or (2) remain uncashed for six months, your account will be changed automatically so that all future distributions are reinvested in your account. Checks that remain uncashed for six months will be canceled and the money will be reinvested in the appropriate Fund at the current NAV.

Distribution Arrangements/Sales Charges

Calculation of Sales Charges — Class A Shares

Class A Shares are sold at their public offering price. This price equals NAV plus the initial sales charge, if applicable. Therefore, part of the money you invest is used to pay the sales charge and the remainder is invested in Fund shares. The sales charge decreases with larger purchases. There is no sales charge on reinvested dividends and distributions.

The current sales charge rates are as follows:


	Sales Charge			Sales Charge
	as a % of			as a % of
Your Investment	Offering Price			Your Investment

Up to $49,999		5.75	%		6.10	%
$50,000 to $99,999		4.50	%		4.71	%
$100,000 up to $249,999		3.50	%		3.63	%
$250,000 up to $499,999		2.50	%		2.56	%
$500,000 up to $999,999		2.00	%		2.04	%
$1,000,000 and above(1)		0.00	%		0.00	%


(1)		There is no initial sales charge on purchases of $1 million or more. However, a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of up to 1.00% of the purchase price will be charged to the shareholders if the shares are redeemed within two years after purchase. This charge will be based on the lower of your cost for the shares or their NAV at the time of redemption. There will be no CDSC on reinvested distributions.

		A CDSC of up to 1.00% of the purchase price will be charged to the following shareholders who received a sales charge waiver and then redeem their shares within two years after purchase: (i) employees of BB&T Funds, BB&T and its affiliates and (ii) shareholders who purchased shares with proceeds from redemptions from another mutual fund complex within 60 days of redemption if a sales charge was paid on such shares. This CDSC will be based on the lower of the cost of the shares or their NAV at the time of redemption.

		For (i) sales of over $1 million or more, (ii) sales to employees of BB&T Funds, BB&T and its affiliates, and (iii) sales of shares purchased with proceeds from redemptions from another mutual fund complex within 60 days of redemption, if a sales charge was paid on such shares, the Distributor also pays broker-dealers a finder’s fee of up to 1.00% of the offering price of such shares up to and including $2.5 million, 0.5% of the offering price over $2.5 million and up to $5 million, and 0.25% of the offering price over $5 million out of its own assets.

Calculation of Sales Charges — Class B Shares

Class B Shares are offered at NAV, without any up-front sales charge. Therefore, all the money you invest is used to purchase Fund shares. However, if you sell your Class B Shares of the Fund before the sixth anniversary, you will have to pay a CDSC at the time of redemption. The CDSC will be based upon the lower of the NAV at the time of purchase or the NAV at the time of redemption according to the schedule below. There is no CDSC on reinvested dividends or distributions.


	CDSC as a % of
	Dollar Amount
Years Since Purchase	Subject to Charge

0-1		5.00	%
1-2		4.00	%
2-3		3.00	%
3-4		3.00	%
4-5		2.00	%
5-6		1.00	%
more than 6		None

If you sell some but not all of your Class B Shares, certain shares not subject to the CDSC (i.e., shares purchased with reinvested dividends) will be redeemed first, followed by shares subject to the lowest CDSC (typically shares held for the longest time).

Conversion Feature — Class B Shares


	•	Class B Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares of the same Fund after eight years from the end of the month of purchase.

	•	After conversion, your shares will be subject to the lower distribution and shareholder servicing fees charged on Class A Shares which may increase your investment return compared to the Class B Shares.

	•	You will not pay any sales charge or fees when your shares convert, nor will the transaction be subject to any tax.

	•	If you purchased Class B Shares of one Fund which you exchanged for Class B Shares of another Fund, your holding period will be calculated from the time of your original purchase of Class B Shares.

	•	The dollar value of Class A Shares you receive will equal the dollar value of the Class B Shares converted.

Calculation of Sales Charges — Class C Shares

Class C Shares are offered at NAV, without any up-front sales charge. Therefore, all the money you invest is used to purchase Fund shares. However, if you sell your Class C Shares of the Fund before the first anniversary, you will have to pay a 1% CDSC at the time of redemption. The CDSC will be based upon the lower of the NAV at the time of purchase or the NAV at the time of redemption. In any sale, certain shares not subject to the CDSC (i.e., shares purchased with reinvested dividends or distributions) will be redeemed first, followed by shares subject to the lowest CDSC (typically shares held for the longest time).

Sales Charge Reductions and Waivers

Reduced sales charges for Class A Shares are available to shareholders with investments of $50,000 or more. In addition, you may qualify for reduced sales charges under the following circumstances.


	•	Letter of Intent. You inform the Fund in writing that you intend to purchase enough shares over a 13-month period to qualify for a reduced sales charge. You must include a minimum of 5% of the total amount you intend to purchase with your letter of intent.

	•	Rights of Accumulation. When the value of shares you already own plus the amount you intend to invest reaches the amount needed to qualify for reduced sales charges, your added investment will qualify for the


		reduced sales charge. You must, at the time of purchase, give the transfer agent sufficient information to permit confirmation of your qualification for the right of accumulation.


	•	Combination Privilege. Combine accounts of multiple Funds (excluding the Money Market Fund) or accounts of immediate family household members (spouse and children under 21) to achieve reduced sales charges.

Class A Shares

The following qualify for waivers or reductions of sales charges:


	•	Existing Shareholders of a Fund upon the reinvestment of dividend and capital gain distributions;

	•	Shares purchased with proceeds from redemptions from another mutual fund complex within 60 days after redemption, if you paid a sales charge for those shares during the previous two calendar years;

	•	Officers, trustees, directors, advisory board members, employees and retired employees of the BB&T Funds, BB&T and its affiliates, the Distributor and its affiliates, and employees of the Sub-Advisers (and spouses, children and parents of each of the foregoing);

	•	Investors for whom a BB&T correspondent bank or other financial institution acts in a fiduciary, advisory, custodial, agency, or similar capacity;

	•	BB&T Fund shares purchased with proceeds from a distribution from BB&T or an affiliate trust or agency account (this waiver applies only to the initial purchase of a BB&T Fund subject to a sales load;

	•	Investors who beneficially hold Institutional Shares of any Fund of the BB&T Funds;

	•	Investors who purchase shares of a Fund through a payroll deduction plan, a 401(k) plan, a 403(b) plan which by its terms permits purchase of shares or any other employer-sponsored plan; and

	•	Investors whose shares are held of record by, and purchases made on behalf of, other investment companies distributed by the Distributor or its affiliated companies.

The Distributor may also waive the sales charge at anytime in its own discretion. Consult the Statement of Additional Information of the respective Fund for more details concerning sales charges waivers and reductions.

Reinstatement Privilege

If you have sold Class A Shares or Class C Shares and decide to reinvest in the Fund within a 90 day period, you will not be charged the applicable sales charge on amounts up to the value of the shares you sold. You must provide a written request for reinstatement and payment within 90 days of the date your instructions to sell were processed.

Class B and C Shares

The CDSC will be waived under certain circumstances, including the following:


	•	Minimum required distributions from an IRA or other qualifying retirement plan to a shareholder who has attained age 701/2.

	•	Redemptions from accounts following the death or disability of the shareholder.

	•	Returns of excess contributions to retirement plans.

	•	Distributions of less than 12% of the annual account value under the Auto Withdrawal Plan.

	•	Shares issued in a plan of reorganization sponsored by the Adviser, or shares redeemed involuntarily in a similar situation.

Current information regarding each Fund’s sales charges and breakpoints is available on the Funds’ Web site at www.bbtfunds.com.

Distribution and Shareholder Service (12b-1) Fees

12b-1 fees compensate financial intermediaries, including banks, brokers and other investment representatives for services and expenses relating to the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares and/or for providing shareholder services. 12b-1 fees are paid from Fund assets on an ongoing basis, and will increase the cost of your investment.

The 12b-1 and shareholder servicing fees vary by share class as follows:


	•	Class A Shares pay a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets of a Fund (0.25% for the Mid Cap Value Fund and the Mid Cap Growth Fund). The Distributor has agreed to limit the distribution and shareholder service (12b-1) fees for Class A Shares of the Small Cap Value Fund to 0.25% for the period from February 1, 2010 through January 31, 2011.

	•	Class B Shares pay a 12b-1 fee of up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the applicable Fund. This will cause expenses for Class B Shares to be higher and dividends to be lower than for Class A Shares.

	•	Class C Shares pay a 12b-1 fee of up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the applicable Fund. This will cause expenses for Class C Shares to be higher and dividends to be lower than for Class A Shares.

	•	Institutional Shares pay no distribution and shareholder service (12b-1) fees.

	•	The higher 12b-1 fee on Class B and Class C Shares, together with the CDSC, defrays the Distributor’s costs of advancing brokerage commissions to investment representatives.

	•	The Distributor may use up to 0.25% of the 12b-1 fee for expenses related to shareholder servicing and up to 0.75% for distribution expenses.

Over time shareholders will pay more than the equivalent of the maximum permitted front-end sales charge because 12b-1 distribution and service fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an ongoing basis.

Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Arrangements — Revenue Sharing

With respect to the Class A, Class B, and Class C Shares, the Adviser and/or its affiliates may pay out of their own assets compensation to broker-dealers and other persons for the sale and distribution of the Shares and/or for the servicing of the Shares. These additional cash incentives, sometimes referred to as “revenue sharing arrangements” are payments over and above the sales charges (including Rule 12b-1 fees) and service fees paid by the Funds, which are disclosed elsewhere in this Appendix. These additional cash payments made by the Adviser may be made to supplement commissions reallowed to dealers, and may take the form of (1) due diligence payments for a broker-dealer’s examination of the Funds and payments for employee training and education relating to the Funds; (2) listing fees for the placement of the Funds on a broker-dealer’s list of mutual funds available for purchase by its clients; (3) fees for providing assistance in promoting the sale of Shares; (4) payments in connection with attendance at sales meetings for the promotion of the sale of Shares; and (5) payments for the sale of Shares and/or the maintenance of share balances. These payments, which may be different for different financial institutions, will not change the price an investor will pay for Shares or the amount that a Fund will receive for the sale of Shares.

With respect to Institutional Shares, the Adviser and/or its affiliates may pay out of their own assets compensation to financial intermediaries for the sale and distribution of the Shares and/or for the servicing of the Shares. These additional cash and non-cash incentives, sometimes referred to as “revenue sharing arrangements” may take the form of (1) due diligence payments for a financial intermediary’s examination of the Funds and payments for employee training and education relating to the Funds; (2) listing fees for the placement of the Funds on a financial intermediary’s list of mutual funds available for purchase by its clients; (3) marketing support fees for providing assistance in promoting the sale of Shares; (4) payments in connection with attendance at sales meetings for the promotion of the sale of Shares; and (5) payments for the sale of shares and/or the maintenance of share balances. These payments, which may be different for different financial institutions, will not change the price an investor will pay for Shares or the amount that a Fund will receive for the sale of Shares.

Networking and Sub-Transfer Agency Fees

The Funds may also directly enter into agreements with financial intermediaries pursuant to which the Funds will pay the financial intermediary for services such as networking or sub-transfer agency. Payments made pursuant to such agreements are generally based on either (1) a percentage of the average daily net assets of clients serviced by such financial intermediary up to a set maximum dollar amount per shareholder account serviced, or (2) the number of accounts serviced by such financial intermediary. With respect to Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares, payments made pursuant to such agreements may include fees in addition to, rather than in lieu of, Rule 12b-1 fees the financial intermediary may also be receiving pursuant to agreements with the Distributor.

Exchanging Your Shares

You can exchange your shares in one Fund for shares of the same class of another BB&T Fund, usually without paying additional sales charges (see “Notes on Exchanges” below). You must meet the minimum investment requirements for the Fund into which you are exchanging. Exchanges from one Fund to another are taxable. Class A, Class B, and Class C Shares may also be exchanged for Institutional Shares of the same Fund if you become eligible to purchase Institutional Shares. Neither Class B Shares nor Class C Shares may be exchanged for Class A Shares. Class C Shares may not be exchanged for Class B Shares. Institutional Shares may also be exchanged for Class A Shares of the same Fund if you cease to be eligible to purchase Institutional Shares. Institutional Shares of each Fund may not be exchanged for Class B Shares or Class C Shares. Furthermore, the exchange of Institutional Shares for Class A Shares will require payment of the sales charge unless the sales charge is waived. No transaction fees are currently charged for exchanges.

Systematic Exchanges with Respect to Class A, Class B and Class C Shares

You may use the Funds’ Systematic Exchange feature to purchase shares at regular intervals, by exchanging shares from one BB&T Fund for shares of the same class of another BB&T Fund. You must meet the minimum investment requirements described below. Exchanges will continue as long as your balance is sufficient to complete the systematic transfer, subject to BB&T Funds’ “Closing of Small Accounts” policy described in “General Policies on Selling Shares” above. To participate in the Systematic Exchange feature:


	•	Complete the appropriate section of the Account Application.

	•	Keep a minimum of $10,000 in your BB&T Funds account and $1,000 in the Fund whose shares you are buying.

To change the Systematic Exchange instructions or to discontinue the feature, you must send a written request to BB&T Funds, P.O. Box 9762, Providence, RI 02940-9762.

Instructions for Exchanging Shares

Exchanges may be made by sending a written request to BB&T Funds, P.O. Box 9762, Providence, RI 02940-9762, or by calling 1-800-228-1872. Please provide the following information:


	•	Your name and telephone number,

	•	The exact name on your account and account number,

	•	Taxpayer identification number (usually your Social Security number),

	•	Dollar value or number of shares to be exchanged,

	•	The name of the Fund from which the exchange is to be made, and

	•	The name of the Fund into which the exchange is being made.

See “Selling your Shares” above for important information about telephone transactions.

Notes on Exchanges


	•	When exchanging from a Fund that has no sales charge or a lower sales charge to a Fund with a higher sales charge, you will pay the difference.


	•	The registration and tax identification numbers of the two accounts must be identical.

	•	The exchange privilege (including systematic exchanges) may be changed or eliminated at any time upon 60 days’ notice to shareholders.

	•	Be sure to read carefully the Prospectus of any Fund into which you wish to exchange shares.

Market Timing Policies

Excessive short-term trading or other abusive trading practices may disrupt portfolio management strategies and hurt Fund performance. Such practices may dilute the value of Fund shares, interfere with the efficient management of a Fund’s investments, and increase brokerage and administrative costs. To prevent disruption in the management of the Fund due to market timing strategies, we have adopted certain policies and procedures. We reserve the right to close any account or limit exchange activity for any account in which we have identified a pattern of excessive or abusive trading. We cannot guarantee that we will detect every market timer due to the limitations inherent in our technological systems; as a result, some shareholders may be able to market time while others bear the effect of market timing activity. For example, certain accounts, which are known as omnibus accounts, include multiple investors and such accounts typically provide the Funds with a net purchase or redemption order on any given day where purchasers of Fund shares and redeemers of Fund shares are netted against one another and the identity of individual purchasers and redeemers are not known by the Fund. While the Funds seek to monitor for market timing activities in the omnibus accounts and may restrict purchases or exchanges of Fund shares held in such omnibus accounts pursuant to Rule 22c-2 shareholder information agreements between a Fund and the financial intermediaries holding such omnibus accounts, the netting effect limits the Funds’ ability to locate and eliminate individual market timers. In addition to the Funds’ frequent trading policies, the Funds may permit financial intermediaries to utilize their own policies and procedures to identify market timers holding Fund shares through omnibus accounts. These policies and procedures may be different than those utilized by the Funds.

We will apply our policies and procedures consistently to all fund shareholders, except with respect to trades that occur through omnibus accounts at financial intermediaries as described above. We reserve the right to modify our policies and procedures at any time without prior notice as we deem in our sole discretion to be in the best interests of Fund shareholders, or to comply with state or federal legal requirements.

Dividends, Distributions and Taxes

Please consult your tax adviser regarding your specific questions about federal, state, local, foreign or other taxes applicable to you. Below we have summarized some important U.S. federal tax issues that affect the Funds and their shareholders. Your investment in the Funds may have other tax implications. This summary is based on current tax laws, which may change.

Each Fund intends to elect to be treated and qualify each year as a regulated investment company. A regulated investment company is not subject to tax at the corporate level on income and gains from investments that are distributed in a timely manner to shareholders. However, a Fund’s failure to qualify as a regulated investment company would result in corporate level taxation, and consequently, a reduction in income available for distribution to shareholders.

Distributions. Generally, for federal income tax purposes, Fund distributions of investment income (other than “exempt-interest dividends”, described below) are taxable as ordinary income. Taxes on distributions of capital gains are determined by how long the Fund owned the investments that generated them, rather than how long you have owned your shares. Distributions of net capital gain (that is, the excess of net long-term capital gains from the sale of investments that a Fund owned for more than one year over net short-term capital losses) that are properly designated by the Fund as capital gain dividends will be taxable as long-term capital gains. Distributions of gains from the sale of investments that a Fund owned for one year or less will be taxable as ordinary income. For taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011, distributions of investment income designated by a Fund as derived from “qualified dividend income” will be taxed at the rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided holding period and other requirements are met at both the shareholder and Fund levels. Long-term capital gains rates applicable to individuals have been reduced to 15%, with lower rates applicable to taxpayers in the 10% and 15% rate brackets, for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011.

Distributions are taxable whether you receive them in cash or reinvest them in additional shares. Distributions are also taxable to you even if they are paid from income or gains earned by a Fund before your investment (and thus were included in the price you paid for your shares). Distributions of investment income (or dividend income with respect to Institutional Shares) and capital gains may be subject to state and local taxes as well.

BB&T Funds will send you a statement each year showing the tax status of all your distributions. Distributions may vary considerably from year to year.

Special Considerations for Shareholders of Funds Investing in Foreign Securities. A Fund’s investments in foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes. In that case, the Fund’s yield on those securities would be decreased. Foreign governments may also impose taxes on other payments or gains a Fund earns from these securities. Under normal circumstances, the International Equity Fund will be eligible to elect to “pass through” to its shareholders foreign income taxes that it pays. If the International Equity Fund makes that election, a shareholder must include its share of those taxes in gross income as a distribution from the Fund and will be allowed to claim a credit (or a deduction, if that shareholder itemizes deductions) for such amounts on its federal income tax return, subject to certain limitations. Shareholders in Funds other than the International Equity Fund generally will not be entitled to claim a credit or deduction with respect to foreign taxes. (There are some exceptions, however, please consult your tax adviser for more information.) In addition, a Fund’s investments in foreign securities or foreign currencies may increase or accelerate a Fund’s recognition of ordinary income and may affect the timing or amount of a Fund’s distributions, which could increase your tax liability.

Special Considerations for Non-U.S. Shareholders. In general, dividends (other than capital gain and exempt-interest dividends) paid to a shareholder that is not a “U.S. person” within the meaning of the Code are subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate). However, effective for taxable years of the Funds beginning before January 1, 2010, the Funds are not required to withhold any amounts with respect to distributions of (i) U.S.-source interest income that in general would not be subject to U.S. federal income tax if earned directly by an individual foreign person, and (ii) net short-term capital gains in excess of net long-term capital losses, in each case to the extent such distributions are properly designated by the Funds. Depending on the circumstances, a Fund may make such designations with respect to all, some or none of its potentially eligible dividends and/or treat such dividends, in whole or in part, as ineligible for this exemption from withholding. Non-U.S. investors may also be subject to U.S. estate tax.

Sales, Exchanges and Redemptions of Shares. A sale, exchange or redemption of your Fund shares is a taxable event. Any gain resulting from a sale, exchange or redemption of your Fund shares (even if the income from the shares is tax-exempt) will generally be subject to tax as capital gains. Any loss from the sale, exchange or redemption of your Fund shares will generally be treated as capital loss.

General. Generally, the Funds’ advisers do not consider taxes when deciding to buy or sell securities.

The tax information is provided as general information and will not apply to you if you are investing through a tax-deferred account such as an IRA or a qualified employee benefit plan. Shareholders are urged to consult with their tax advisers to determine the tax considerations that are relevant to their particular tax situation, including possible federal, state, local and foreign taxes.

More information about taxes is available in the respective Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

Additional Information about the Funds

Fair Value Pricing Policies

A Fund will fair value price its securities when market quotations are not readily available or if available market quotations are determined not to be reliable. Generally, this would include securities for which trading has been halted, securities whose value has been materially affected by the occurrence of a significant event (as defined below), securities whose price has become stale (i.e., the market price has remained unchanged for five business days), and other securities where a market price is not available from either a national pricing service or a broker. In these situations, the Pricing Committee will employ certain Board-approved methodologies to determine a fair

value for the securities. Fair valuations will be reviewed by the Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis. Fair value pricing may result in a different determination of a Fund’s NAV price than other valuation methods.

A “significant event” is one that occurred prior to a Fund’s valuation time, is not reflected in the most recent market price of a security, and materially affects the value of a security. Generally, such “significant events” relate to developments in foreign securities that occur after the close of trading in their respective markets. The Fund’s accounting agent may obtain fair value prices of foreign securities through utilization of a Fair Value Pricing Service previously approved by the Board where a movement in the U.S. equities market is sufficiently large to constitute a trigger established by the Pricing Committee.

Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings

Information regarding the Funds’ policies and procedures regarding the disclosure of portfolio holdings is contained in the respective Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

Investment in Exchange-Traded Funds

The Funds may each invest in index-based exchange-traded funds, such as iShares^® Trust and iShares^®, Inc. (“iShares^® ”). iShares^® is a registered trademark of Barclays Global Investors, N.A. (“BGI”). Neither BGI nor the iShares^® funds make any representations regarding the advisability of investing in an iShares^® fund.

iShares^® is a registered investment company unaffiliated with the Funds that offers several series of securities, each of which seeks to replicate the performance of a stock market index or a group of stock markets in a particular geographic area. Thus, investment in iShares and other exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) offers, among other things, an efficient means to achieve diversification to a particular industry that would otherwise only be possible through a series of transactions and numerous holdings. Although similar diversification benefits may be achieved through an investment in another investment company, ETFs generally offer greater liquidity and lower expenses. Because an ETF charges its own fees and expenses, fund shareholders will indirectly bear these costs. The Funds will also incur brokerage commissions and related charges when purchasing shares in an ETF in secondary market transactions. Unlike typical investment company shares, which are valued once daily, shares in an exchange-traded fund may be purchased or sold on a listed securities exchange throughout the trading day at market prices that are generally close to NAV. See the respective Fund’s Statement of Additional Information for additional information regarding investment in an ETF.

Because ETFs are investment companies, investment in such funds would, absent exemptive relief, be limited under applicable Federal statutory provisions. Those provisions restrict a fund’s investment in the shares of another investment company to up to 5% of its assets (which may represent no more than 3% of the securities of such other investment company) and limit aggregate investments in all investment companies to 10% of assets. The Funds may invest in certain ETFs, including but not limited to iShares^®, in excess of the 3-5-10 Limitations in reliance on exemptive relief issued to the ETF by the SEC, provided that certain conditions are met.

Performance.

Mid Cap Value Fund

The chart and table on this page show how the Mid Cap Value Fund has performed and how its performance has varied from year to year. The bar chart gives some indication of risk by showing changes in the Fund’s yearly performance to demonstrate that the Fund’s value varied at different times. The table below compares the Fund’s performance over time to that of the Russell Midcap^® Value Index, a widely recognized, unmanaged index of generally mid-sized companies that measures the performance of those securities in the Russell 1000^® Index with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. Of course, past performance does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. The returns for Class B, Class C and Institutional Class Shares will differ from the Class A Share returns shown in the bar chart because of differences in expenses of each class. The table assumes that Class B and Class C shareholders redeem all of their Fund shares at the end of the period indicated.

The after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are shown for Class A Shares only; after-tax returns for Class B and C Shares will vary.

(4)		Class B and C Shares were not in existence prior to July 25, 2001. Performance for periods prior to July 25, 2001 is based on Class A Share performance and has been adjusted for the maximum contingent deferred sales charge applicable to Class B and C Shares, respectively, but does not reflect Class B and C Shares’ 12b-1 fees and expenses. With those adjustments, performance would be lower than that shown.

(5)		Since 7/31/96.

Small Cap Value Fund

The chart and table on this page show how the Small Cap Value Fund has performed and how its performance has varied from year to year. The bar chart gives some indication of risk by showing changes in the Fund’s yearly performance to demonstrate that the Fund’s value varied at different times. The table below compares the Fund’s performance over time to that of the Russell 2000^® Value Index, a widely recognized, unmanaged index of common stocks that measures the performance of those Russell 2000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The Russell 2000^® Index is comprised of the smallest 2000 companies out of the 3000 largest U.S. companies. Of course, past performance does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. The returns for Class A, Class B and Class C Shares will differ from the Institutional Share returns shown in the bar chart because of differences in expenses of each class. The table assumes that Class B and Class C shareholders redeem all of their Fund shares at the end of the period indicated.

(1)		In connection with the Transaction, Sterling Shares of the Small Cap Value Fund will be renamed Institutional Shares of the Small Cap Value Fund effective February 1, 2010.

(2)		The performance information for the Institutional Shares prior to 12/18/06 is based on the performance of the Institutional Shares of the Small Cap Value Fund’s predecessor, Sterling Capital Small Cap Value Fund, a series of The Advisors’ Inner Circle Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”), which transferred all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund pursuant to a reorganization. Information prior to 3/16/01 relates to the UAM Fund Inc.’s Sterling Partners’ Small Cap Value Portfolio, the assets of which were acquired by the Predecessor Fund. The Predecessor Fund’s investment program was substantially similar to that of the Fund. The performance of the Institutional Shares would have been different because the Small Cap Value Fund’s Institutional Shares have different expenses than the predecessor’s Institutional Shares.

(6)		Class A, Class B and Class C Shares of the Small Cap Value Fund will not commence operations until February 1, 2010.

Note Regarding Class B Shares.

Class B Shares of the Acquiring and Acquired Funds are not offered for new purchases. If you currently hold a Class B Share, you may:


	•	Continue as a Class B shareholder;

	•	Continue to reinvest dividends and distributions into Class B Shares; and

	•	Exchange your Class B Shares of a BB&T Fund for Class B Shares of other BB&T Funds, as permitted by existing exchange privileges.

Voting Rights. Each shareholder of the Acquired Funds is entitled to one vote per Share and a proportionate fractional vote for any fractional Share. For the Acquired Funds, with respect to the Transactions, Shares of all classes vote together as a single class. As shareholders of the considerably larger Acquiring Funds following the Transactions, the former shareholders of the Acquired Funds will possess less proportional voting power when they vote separately as Acquiring Fund shareholders, or shareholders of the classes thereof, than they had when they voted separately as shareholders of the smaller Acquired Fund.

*		Sterling Shares of the Sterling Capital Small Cap Value Fund are renamed Institutional Shares as part of the Reorganization.


**		Sterling Capital Small Cap Value Fund’s fiscal year-end changed from October 31 to September 30, effective September 30, 2007.


***		Total return is for the period indicated and has not been annualized. Total returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemptions of fund shares. Total return would have been lower if the Advisor did waive a portion of its fee. The performance for the Sterling Capital Small Cap Value Fund prior to December 18, 2006 is based on the performance of the Institutional Shares of the Fund’s predecessor, Sterling Small Cap Value Fund, a series of the Advisor’s Inner Circle Fund which transferred all of its assets and liabilities to the Sterling Capital Small Cap Value Fund pursuant to a reorganization.


(a)		Per share net investment income (loss) has been calculated using the average daily shares method except for the year ended October 31, 2004 in the Sterling Small Cap Value Fund which utilized the SEC method.

(b)		Amount is less than $0.005.

(c)		The amount shown for a share outstanding throughout the period does not accord with the changes in aggregate gains and losses in the portfolio of securities during the period because of the timing of sales and purchases of Fund shares in relation to fluctuating market values during the period.

(d)		Not annualized.

(e)		Annualized.

(f)		The ratio of expenses to average net assets excludes the effects of fees paid indirectly. If these expense offsets were included, the ratio would not significantly differ.

(g)		During the period certain fees were reduced. If such reduction had not occurred, the ratios would have been as indicated.

(h)		Portfolio turnover rate is calculated on the basis of the Fund as a whole without distinguishing between classes of shares issued.

VOTING INFORMATION

Proxies are being solicited from shareholders of the Mid Cap Growth Fund and Small Cap Fund by the Trustees of BB&T Funds for the Joint Special Meeting of shareholders to be held on January 26, 2010, at the offices of PNCGIS at 99 High Street, 27^th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02110 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time, or at such later time made necessary by adjournment. This Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement and the enclosed form of proxy is being mailed to shareholders on or about December 23, 2009. The costs of the proxy materials and proxy solicitations will be borne by Sterling. A proxy may be revoked at any time at or before the meeting by submitting to BB&T Funds a subsequently dated proxy, delivering a written notice of revocation to BB&T Funds at 434 Fayetteville Street Mall, 5th Floor Raleigh, North Carolina 27601-0575, or at the Joint Special Meeting of Shareholders at PNCGIS, 99 High Street, 27^th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, or as otherwise described in the “Introduction” above. All properly executed proxies received in time for the Meeting will be voted as specified in the proxy, or, if no specification is made, FOR the proposals set forth in the Notice of Joint Special Meeting.

Each Transaction contemplated by the Reorganization Plans will be consummated only if: (1) a quorum is present (except as otherwise provided by law, to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at a shareholders’ meeting, there must be present, in person or by proxy, holders of a majority of the total number of Shares of an Acquired Fund then outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting); (2) approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast by each Acquired Fund as described below; and (3) the other closing conditions set forth in each Reorganization Plan are satisfied. In the event the shareholders do not approve one or both of the Transactions, the Trustees of BB&T Funds will consider possible alternative arrangements in the best interests of BB&T Funds and their shareholders. Each Transaction is not contingent on the approval of the other Transaction.

Proxies are being solicited by mail and/or by phone or electronically. Shareholders of record of each Acquired Fund at the close of business on November 17, 2009, will be entitled to vote at the Joint Special Meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof. Each shareholder of the Acquired Funds is entitled to one vote per Share and a proportionate fractional vote for any fractional Share. Approval of Proposal A requires the affirmative vote of the lesser of: (a) 67% or more of the outstanding Shares of the Acquired Fund present at the Joint Special Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding Shares are present or represented by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding Shares of the Acquired Fund.

As of November 17, 2009, there were outstanding the following amount of Shares of Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C Class of the Mid Cap Growth Fund and the Small Cap Fund:


Mid Cap Growth Fund:		8,838,997.367 Institutional Shares
		774,187.864 Class A Shares
		179,692.332 Class B Shares
		9,101.565 Class C Shares

Small Cap Fund:		2,570,787.907 Institutional Shares
		530,841.778 Class A Shares
		126,485.979 Class B Shares
		1,730.696 Class C Shares

Votes cast by proxy, telephone, the Internet or in person at the meeting will be counted by the inspector of election appointed by BB&T Funds. The inspector of election will count the total number of votes cast “for” approval of the Proposal for purposes of determining whether sufficient affirmative votes have been cast. The inspector of election will count Shares represented by proxies that reflect abstentions as Shares that are present and

entitled to vote on the matter for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum; however, the inspector of election will not count “broker non-votes” (i.e., Shares held by brokers or nominees as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or the persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have the discretionary voting power on a particular matter) as Shares that are present and entitled to vote on the matter for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. For purposes of determining whether an issue has been approved, abstentions have the effect of a negative vote on the proposal, and broker non-votes are treated as “against” votes in those instances where approval of an issue requires a certain percentage of all votes outstanding, but are given no effect in those instances where approval of an issue requires a certain percentage of the votes constituting the quorum for such issue.

The Trustees know of no matters other than those set forth herein to be brought before the meeting. If, however, any other matters properly come before the meeting, it is the Trustees’ intention that proxies will be voted on such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy.

INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE TRANSACTION

The information in the following table shows, to the best of the knowledge of BB&T Funds, the shareholders who owned of record or beneficially 5% or more of the indicated Fund and Class, if applicable. The table also shows, as far as practicable, the percentage of record and beneficial ownership of these same shareholders upon consummation of the Transactions calculated on the basis of holdings as of the November 17, 2009 record date. Those shareholders who beneficially own 25% or more of the outstanding shares of a fund may be deemed to be controlling persons of that fund under the 1940 Act. In this context, “control” shall mean (1) the beneficial ownership, either directly or through one or more controlled companies of more than 25% of the voting securities of a company; (2) the acknowledgement or assertion by either the controlled or controlling party of the existence of control; or (3) an adjudication under §2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act which has become final, that control exists.

APPENDIX A

BB&T FUNDS

BB&T Mid Cap Growth Fund and

BB&T Mid Cap Value Fund

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

This Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, having been approved by the Board of Trustees of BB&T Funds, is made as of December 16, 2009 between BB&T Funds, on behalf of its series BB&T Mid Cap Growth Fund and BB&T Mid Cap Value Fund, and Sterling Capital Management LLC (“Sterling”) (the “Plan”). The capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in this Plan.


	1.	Overview of Plan of Reorganization.

(a) BB&T Mid Cap Growth Fund (“Mid Cap Growth Fund”) will sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver to BB&T Mid Cap Value Fund (“Mid Cap Value Fund”), and Mid Cap Value Fund will acquire, on the Exchange Date (as defined in Section 7 of this Plan), all of the properties and assets existing at the Valuation Time (as defined in Section 4 of this Plan) in Mid Cap Growth Fund, subject to liabilities.

In consideration therefor, Mid Cap Value Fund shall, on the Exchange Date, assume all of the liabilities of Mid Cap Growth Fund existing at the Valuation Time and transfer to Mid Cap Growth Fund a number of full and fractional units of beneficial interest (“Shares”) (such Shares being Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C Shares) of Mid Cap Value Fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the assets of Mid Cap Growth Fund transferred to Mid Cap Value Fund on such date less the value of all of the liabilities of Mid Cap Growth Fund assumed by Mid Cap Value Fund on that date. It is intended that the reorganization described in this Plan shall be a tax-free reorganization under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

(b) Upon consummation of the transaction described in paragraph 1(a) of this Plan, Mid Cap Growth Fund in complete liquidation shall distribute to its respective shareholders of record as of the Exchange Date the Mid Cap Value Fund Shares received by it, each shareholder being entitled to receive that number of such Mid Cap Value Fund Shares equal to the total of (i) the proportion which the number of Shares of Mid Cap Growth Fund held by such shareholder bears to the number of such Shares of Mid Cap Growth Fund outstanding on such date multiplied by (ii) the total number of Mid Cap Value Fund Shares received by the Mid Cap Growth Fund, as of the Exchange Date. Mid Cap Growth Fund shareholders of record holding Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C Shares will receive Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C Shares, respectively, of Mid Cap Value Fund.

(b) BB&T Funds, on behalf of Mid Cap Growth Fund, will pay or cause to be paid to Mid Cap Value Fund any interest and cash dividends received by it on or after the Exchange Date with respect to the Investments transferred to Mid Cap Value Fund hereunder. BB&T Funds, on behalf of Mid Cap Growth Fund, will transfer to Mid Cap Value Fund any rights, stock dividends, or other securities received by Mid Cap Growth Fund after the Exchange Date as stock dividends or other distributions on or with respect to the Investments transferred, which rights, stock dividends, and other securities shall be deemed included in the assets transferred to Mid Cap Value Fund at the Exchange Date and shall not be separately valued, in which case any such distribution that remains unpaid as of the Exchange Date shall be included in the determination of the value of the assets of Mid Cap Growth Fund acquired by Mid Cap Value Fund.

4. Exchange Date; Valuation Time. On the Exchange Date, Mid Cap Value Fund will deliver to Mid Cap Growth Fund a number of Mid Cap Value Fund Shares having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the

A-3

assets attributable to each corresponding class of Shares of Mid Cap Growth Fund acquired by Mid Cap Value Fund, less the value of the liabilities of Mid Cap Growth Fund assumed, determined as hereafter provided in this Section 4.

(a) Subject to Section 4(d) hereof, the value of Mid Cap Growth Fund’s net assets will be computed as of the Valuation Time using the valuation procedures for Mid Cap Value Fund set forth in the Prospectuses and the Statement of Additional Information. In no event shall the same security held by the Mid Cap Growth Fund and another series of BB&T Funds be valued at different prices.

(b) Subject to Section 4(d) hereof, the net asset value of a Share of Mid Cap Value Fund will be determined to the nearest full cent as of the Valuation Time, using the valuation procedures set forth in the Prospectuses and the Statement of Additional Information for Mid Cap Value Fund.

(c) Subject to Section 4(d), the Valuation Time shall be 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard time on January 29, 2010, or such earlier or later days as may be established by the proper officers of BB&T Funds (the “Valuation Time”).

(e) Mid Cap Value Fund shall issue its Shares to Mid Cap Growth Fund on one share deposit receipt registered in the name of Mid Cap Growth Fund. Mid Cap Growth Fund shall distribute in liquidation the Mid Cap Value Fund Shares received by it hereunder pro rata to its shareholders by redelivering such share deposit receipt to BB&T Funds’ transfer agent which will as soon as practicable set up open accounts for each Mid Cap Growth Fund shareholder, in accordance with written instructions furnished by Mid Cap Growth Fund.

All such fees and expenses incurred and so borne by Sterling will be solely and directly related to the transaction contemplated by this Plan and will be paid directly by Sterling to the relevant providers of services or other payees, in accordance with the principles set forth in Revenue Ruling 73-54, 1973-1 C.B. 187. Fees and expenses not incurred directly in connection with the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Plan will be paid by the party directly incurring such expenses. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, fees and expenses shall in any event be paid by the party directly incurring such fees and expenses if and to the extent that the payment by Sterling of such fees and expenses would result in the disqualification of such party as a regulated investment company within the meaning of Section 851 of the Code. Mid Cap Growth Fund shareholders will pay their respective expenses, if any, incurred in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Plan. Neither BB&TAM nor Sterling nor Mid Cap Growth Fund nor Mid Cap Value Fund will pay Mid Cap Growth Fund shareholders’ expenses.

7. Exchange Date. Delivery of the assets of Mid Cap Growth Fund to be transferred, assumption of the liabilities of Mid Cap Growth Fund to be assumed, and the delivery of Mid Cap Value Fund Shares to be issued shall be made at the offices of BB&T Funds, 434 Fayetteville Street Mall, 5th Floor, Raleigh, North Carolina, 27601, at

BB&T Small Cap Fund and
Sterling Capital Small Cap Value Fund

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

This Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, having been approved by the Board of Trustees of BB&T Funds, is made as of December 16, 2009 between BB&T Funds, on behalf of its series BB&T Small Cap Fund and Sterling Capital Small Cap Value Fund, and Sterling Capital Management LLC (“Sterling”) (the “Plan”). The capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in this Plan.


	1.	Overview of Plan of Reorganization.

(a) BB&T Small Cap Fund (“Small Cap Fund”) will sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver to Sterling Capital Small Cap Value Fund (“Small Cap Value Fund”), and Small Cap Value Fund will acquire, on the Exchange Date (as defined in Section 7 of this Plan), all of the properties and assets existing at the Valuation Time (as defined in Section 4 of this Plan) in Small Cap Fund, subject to liabilities.

In consideration therefor, Small Cap Value Fund shall, on the Exchange Date, assume all of the liabilities of Small Cap Fund existing at the Valuation Time and transfer to Small Cap Fund a number of full and fractional units of beneficial interest (“Shares”) (such Shares being Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C Shares) of Small Cap Value Fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the assets of Small Cap Fund transferred to Small Cap Value Fund on such date less the value of all of the liabilities of Small Cap Fund assumed by Small Cap Value Fund on that date. In connection with the reorganization described herein, effective on the Exchange Date, (i) Class A, Class B, and Class C Shares of the Small Cap Value Fund will commence operations and be issued to the respective shareholders of Class A, Class B, and Class C Shares of the Small Cap Fund, and (ii) Sterling Shares of the Small Cap Value Fund will be renamed Institutional Shares and will be issued to the shareholders of Institutional Shares of Small Cap Fund. It is intended that the reorganization described in this Plan shall be a tax-free reorganization under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

(b) Upon consummation of the transaction described in paragraph 1(a) of this Plan, Small Cap Fund in complete liquidation shall distribute to its respective shareholders of record as of the Exchange Date the Small Cap Value Fund Shares received by it, each shareholder being entitled to receive that number of such Small Cap Value Fund Shares equal to the total of (i) the proportion which the number of Shares of Small Cap Fund held by such shareholder bears to the number of such Shares of Small Cap Fund outstanding on such date multiplied by (ii) the total number of Small Cap Value Fund Shares received by the Small Cap Fund, as of the Exchange Date. Small Cap Fund shareholders of record holding Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C Shares will receive Institutional, Class A, Class B or Class C Shares, respectively, of Small Cap Value Fund.

2. Representations and Warranties of BB&T Funds. Each of BB&T Funds, Small Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Fund warrant to and agree that:

As of the Exchange Date, the Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information then in effect will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(p) Effective on the Exchange Date, Class A, Class B, and Class C Shares of the Small Cap Value Fund will commence operations and Sterling Shares of the Small Cap Value Fund will be renamed Institutional Shares.

3. Reorganization. (a) Subject to the requisite approval of the shareholders of Small Cap Fund (in respect of the Small Cap Fund Reorganization, as hereafter defined) and to the other terms and conditions contained herein (including Small Cap Fund’s obligation described in Section 9(j) hereof to distribute to its respective shareholders all of its undistributed investment company taxable income (as defined in Section 852 of the Code), if any, and net capital gain (as defined in Section 1222 of the Code)), Small Cap Fund will agree to sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver to Small Cap Value Fund, and Small Cap Value Fund will agree to acquire from Small Cap Fund, on the Exchange Date all of the Investments and all of the cash and other assets of Small Cap Fund, subject to liabilities, in exchange for that number of Shares of Small Cap Value Fund provided for in Section 4 and the assumption by Small Cap Value Fund of all of the liabilities of Small Cap Fund.

(b) BB&T Funds, on behalf of Small Cap Fund, will pay or cause to be paid to Small Cap Value Fund any interest and cash dividends received by it on or after the Exchange Date with respect to the Investments transferred to Small Cap Value Fund hereunder.

B-3

and shall not be separately valued, in which case any such distribution that remains unpaid as of the Exchange Date shall be included in the determination of the value of the assets of Small Cap Fund acquired by Small Cap Value Fund.

4. Exchange Date; Valuation Time. On the Exchange Date, Small Cap Value Fund will deliver to Small Cap Fund a number of Small Cap Value Fund Shares having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the assets attributable to each corresponding class of Shares of Small Cap Fund acquired by Small Cap Value Fund, less the value of the liabilities of Small Cap Fund assumed, determined as hereafter provided in this Section 4.

(a) Subject to Section 4(d) hereof, the value of Small Cap Fund’s net assets will be computed as of the Valuation Time using the valuation procedures for Small Cap Value Fund set forth in the Prospectuses and the Statements of Additional Information. In no event shall the same security held by the Small Cap Fund and another series of BB&T Funds be valued at different prices.

(b) Subject to Section 4(d) hereof, the net asset value of a Share of Small Cap Value Fund will be determined to the nearest full cent as of the Valuation Time, using the valuation procedures set forth in the Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information for Small Cap Value Fund.

(d) No formula will be used to adjust the net asset value of Small Cap Fund or Small Cap Value Fund to take into account differences in realized and unrealized gains and losses.

(e) Small Cap Value Fund shall issue its Shares to Small Cap Fund on one share deposit receipt registered in the name of Small Cap Fund. Small Cap Fund shall distribute in liquidation the Small Cap Value Fund Shares received by it hereunder pro rata to its shareholders by redelivering such share deposit receipt to BB&T Funds’ transfer agent which will as soon as practicable set up open accounts for each Small Cap Fund shareholder, in accordance with written instructions furnished by Small Cap Fund.

All such fees and expenses incurred and so borne by Sterling will be solely and directly related to the transaction contemplated by this Plan and will be paid directly by Sterling to the relevant providers of services or other payees, in accordance with the principles set forth in Revenue Ruling 73-54, 1973-1 C.B. 187. Fees and expenses not incurred directly in connection with the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Plan will be paid by the party directly incurring such expenses. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, fees and expenses shall in any event be paid by the party directly incurring such fees and expenses if and to the extent that the payment by Sterling of such fees and expenses would result in the disqualification of such party as a regulated investment company within the meaning of Section 851 of the Code. Small Cap Fund shareholders will pay their respective expenses, if any, incurred in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Plan. Neither BB&TAM nor Sterling nor Small Cap Fund nor Small Cap Value Fund will pay Small Cap Fund shareholders’ expenses.

6. Permitted Assets. BB&T Funds and Small Cap Fund will agree to review the assets of Small Cap Fund to ensure that at any time prior to the Exchange Date the assets of Small Cap Fund do not include any assets that Small Cap Value Fund is not permitted, or reasonably believes to be unsuitable for it, to acquire, including without limitation any security that, prior to its acquisition by Small Cap Fund, is unsuitable for Small Cap Value Fund to acquire.

Industry Concentration:

The Fund may not purchase any securities that would cause 25% or more of the value of the Fund’s total assets at the time of purchase to be invested in securities of one or more issuers conducting their principal business activities in the same industry, provided that(a) there is no limitation with respect to obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities and repurchase agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities; (b) wholly-owned finance companies will be considered to be in the industries of their parents if their activities are primarily related to financing the activities of their parents; and (c) utilities will be divided according to their services. For example, gas, gas transmission, electric and gas, electric, and telephone will each be considered a separate industry.

Underwriting Securities:

The Fund may not underwrite any issue of securities, except as the Fund may be deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the sale of securities in accordance with its investment objectives, policies, and limitations.

Diversification:

The Fund may not purchase securities of any one issuer, other than obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities, if, immediately after such purchase, more than 5% of the value of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in such issuer, or the Fund would hold more than 10% of any class of securities of the issuer or more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer, except that up to 25% of the value of the Fund’s total assets may be invested without regard to such limitations. There is no limit to the percentage of assets that may be invested in U.S. Treasury bills, notes, or other obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities.

Fund

The Fund may purchase securities of any issuer only when consistent with the maintenance of its status as a diversified company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), or the rules or regulations thereunder, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended from time to time. Under the 1940 Act, and the rules, regulations, and interpretations thereunder, a “diversified company,” as to 75% of its total assets, may not purchase securities of any issuer (other than U.S. Treasury bills, notes or other obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or its instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 5% of the value of its total assets would be invested in the securities of such issuer or more than 10% of the issuer’s voting securities would be held by the fund. [With respect to the Small Cap Value Fund.]

Senior Securities:

The Fund may issue senior securities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, or the rules or regulations thereunder as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended from time to time, or by regulatory guidance or interpretation of such statute, rules or regulations.

Commodities:

The Fund may purchase or sell commodities, commodities contracts, or future contracts or real estate to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, or the rules or regulations thereunder as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended from time to time, or by regulatory guidance or interpretation of such statute, rules or regulations.

Borrowing:

The Fund may borrow money or lend to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, or the rules or regulations thereunder as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended from time to time, or by regulatory guidance or interpretation of such statute, rules or regulations.

The 1940 Act limits the Fund’s ability to borrow money, prohibiting a fund from issuing senior securities, except that it may borrow from any bank, provided that immediately after any such borrowing there is an asset coverage of at least 300% for all borrowings by a Fund and provided further, that in the event that such asset coverage shall at any time fall below 300%, a Fund shall, within three days thereafter or such longer period as the SEC may prescribe by rules and regulations, reduce the amount of its borrowings to such an extent that the asset coverage of such borrowing shall be at least 300%.

Put Options:

The Fund may not write put options.

Securities on the Margin:

The Fund may not purchase securities on margin, except that the Fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of portfolio transactions, and the Fund may make margin payments in connection with futures contracts, options, forward contracts, swaps, caps, floors, collars and other financial instruments.

Short Selling:

The Fund may not sell securities short (unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short), however that policy does not prevent the Fund from entering into short positions in foreign currency, futures contracts, options, forward contracts, swaps, caps, floors, collars, and other financial instruments, and the Fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of portfolio transactions.

Illiquid Securities:

The Fund may not invest more than 15% of its net assets in “illiquid” securities, which include securities with legal or contractual restrictions on resale or for which no readily available market exists but exclude such securities if resalable pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Other Investment Company Securities:

The 1940 Act also limits the amount that the Fund may invest in other investment companies, prohibiting the Fund from(i) owning more than 3% of the total outstanding voting stock of a single other investment company; (ii) investing more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of a single other investment company; and (iii) investing more than 10% of its total assets in securities of all other investment companies.

Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the SEC to iShares^®, the Fund may invest in iShares^® in excess of the 5% and 10% limits, provided certain conditions are met. In addition, pursuant to exemptive rules under the 1940 Act, the Fund may invest in shares of affiliated and unaffiliated money market funds to the extent permitted by its investment strategy.


*		Except as provided otherwise, fundamental investment restrictions may be changed only by a vote of a majority of the outstanding Shares of the Fund. A “vote of a majority of the outstanding Shares” of BB&T Funds or a particular Fund means the affirmative vote, at a meeting of shareholders duly called, of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the votes of shareholders of BB&T Funds or such Fund present at such meeting at which the holders of more than 50% of the votes attributable to the shareholders of record of BB&T Funds or such Fund are represented in person or by proxy, or (b) the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding votes of shareholders of BB&T Funds or such Fund.

**		As a matter of non-fundamental policy, the Fund may underwrite securities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, or the rules and regulations thereunder, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended from time to time, or by regulatory guidance or interpretations of such statute, rules or regulations.

Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements
September 30, 2009 (Unaudited)

1. Description of the Funds

Each BB&T Fund (a “Fund”) is a series of the BB&T Funds (the “Trust”) and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end, diversified investment company established as a Massachusetts business trust.


“Acquired Fund”		“Acquiring Fund”
BB&T Small Cap Fund	into	Sterling Capital Small Cap Value Fund
BB&T Mid Cap Growth Fund	into	BB&T Mid Cap Value Fund

The BB&T Small Cap Fund, BB&T Mid Cap Growth Fund and BB&T Mid Cap Value Fund consist of four classes of shares: Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares. The Sterling Capital Small Cap Value Fund consists of Sterling Shares. However, in connection with the Plan of Reorganization, as described in the Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement, Sterling Shares of the Sterling Capital Small Cap Value Fund will be renamed Institutional Shares and will be issued to shareholders of Institutional Shares of BB&T Small Cap Fund, and Class A, B, and C Shares of the Sterling Capital Small Cap Value Fund will commence operations and be issued to the respective shareholders of Class A, B, and C Shares of the Small Cap Fund.

All shareholders bear the common expenses of the fund based on the daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. Differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.

2. Basis of Combination

The accompanying Pro Forma Combined Schedule of Investments, Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Operations are presented to show the effect of the acquisition of each Acquired Fund by the Acquiring Fund as if such acquisition had taken place on September 30, 2009.

Under the terms of the Plans of Reorganization, the combination of the Acquired Funds and Acquiring Funds will be accounted for by the method of accounting for tax-free mergers of investment companies. The acquisition would be accomplished by an acquisition of the net assets of the Acquired Funds in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Funds at net asset value. The Pro Forma Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the related Pro Forma Statement of Operations of the Acquired Funds and Acquiring Funds have been combined as of and for the twelve months ended September 30, 2009. Following the acquisition, the Acquiring Funds will be the accounting and performance survivors. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the Acquiring Funds and the results of operations for pre-combination periods of the Acquiring Funds will not be restated.

The accompanying Pro Forma Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Acquired Funds and Acquiring Funds, which have been incorporated by reference into the Statement of Additional Information.

3. Portfolio Valuation

Investments in securities for which the principal market is a securities exchange or an over-the-counter market are valued at their latest available sales price (except for those securities traded on NASDAQ, which will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price) or, absent such a price, by reference to the latest available bid price in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. Securities for which the principal market is not a securities exchange are valued at their latest bid quotation in such principal market. The Funds may also use an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality are valued either at amortized cost or original cost plus interest, which approximates current value.

Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

•		Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

•		Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

•		Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The summary of inputs used to value each Fund’s investments as of September 30, 2009 is as follows:


				Acquiring Fund
	Acquired Fund			Sterling Capital
	BB&T Small			Small Cap

(a)		Industries of security types as disclosed in the Pro Forma Schedules of Investments.

(b)		Represents securities held as collateral for securities on loan.

4. Capital Shares

The Pro Forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of additional shares of the Acquiring Funds that would have been issued at September 30, 2009 in connection with the proposed Plans of Reorganization. The Pro Forma number of shares outstanding consists of shares assumed issued in the Plan of Reorganization plus shares of the Acquired Funds outstanding at September 30, 2009. Each may be found in the Pro Forma Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

5. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund has elected to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). After the acquisition, each Acquiring Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, Federal income taxes.

The identified cost of investments for the Funds is substantially the same for both financial accounting and Federal income tax purposes. The tax cost of investments will remain unchanged for the combined Fund.

6. Security Loans

The Funds may loan securities secured by collateral in the form of securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities, irrevocable letters of credit, U.S. dollar cash or other forms of collateral as may be agreed to between the Trust and Mellon Bank, N.A., the lending agent (“Mellon”). A Fund may receive compensation for lending securities in the form of fees payable by the borrower or by retaining a portion of the income and earnings from the investment and reinvestment of cash collateral received and held on behalf of the Fund (after payment of a “broker rebate fee” to the borrower). In extremely low interest rate environments, the broker rebate fee may exceed the interest earned on the cash collateral which would result in a loss to the Fund. A Fund also continues to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. Although security loans are secured at all times by collateral, the loans may not be fully supported if, for example, the instruments in which cash collateral is invested decline in value or the borrower fails to provide additional collateral when required in a timely manner or at all. Concurrently with the delivery of the Fund’s securities to a borrower, Mellon is required to obtain from the borrower collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value of the securities loaned plus accrued interest in the case of U.S. securities, and at least 105% of the market value of the securities loaned plus accrued interest in the case of foreign securities. If at the close of trading on any business day the market value of the collateral is less than 100% of the market value of such loaned securities as of such business day, the borrower is required to deliver additional collateral which will cause the total collateral to be equal to not less than 102% of the market value of the securities loaned plus accrued interest in the case of U.S. securities and 105% of the market value of the securities loaned plus accrued interest in the case of foreign securities. A Fund bears all of the gains and losses on such investments. Cash collateral received by a Fund at September 30, 2009 was invested in the BNY Institutional Cash Reserve Fund (“ICRF”) Series A and B, an unregistered investment pool managed by Mellon, which was invested in repurchase agreements and Lehman Brothers.

The net asset value of a Fund will be affected by an increase or decrease in the value of the securities loaned and by an increase or decrease in the value of the ICRF or any other investment vehicle in which cash collateral may be invested. At September 30, 2009, the ICRF held investments in Lehman Brothers (Series B) which was in default. The default resulted in the value of the ICRF being less than the amount of collateral owed back to the borrowing brokers. The difference between the value of the collateral investments in the ICRF and what is owed to the borrowing brokers negatively impacted the NAV’s of Funds at September 30, 2009 by the following amounts per share:


	NAV Impact
Mid Cap Value Fund		0.03
Mid Cap Growth Fund		0.04
Small Cap Fund		0.06
Sterling Capital Small Cap Value Fund		0.01

There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Another risk from securities lending is that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due or when called for by the Fund. The Funds are indemnified from losses resulting from brokers failing to return securities. As the securities lending agent for the Funds, Mellon receives for its services 20% of the revenues earned on the securities lending activities and incurs all expenses. The securities lending agent may make payments to borrowers and placing brokers, who may not be affiliated, directly or indirectly, with the Trust, the advisor or the distributor. In connection with lending securities, a Fund may pay reasonable administrative and custodial fees. The value of the securities on loan and the liability to return the related collateral at September 30, 2009, are shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of September 30, 2009, the Funds had loans outstanding:

PART C

Item 15. Indemnification

Article VIII, Sections 1 and 2 of the Registrant’s Declaration of Trust provides as follows:

“Trustees, Officers, etc.

Section 1. The Trust shall indemnify each of its Trustees and officers (including persons who serve at the Trust’s request as directors, officers or trustees of another organization in which the Trust has any interest as a shareholder, creditor or otherwise) (hereinafter referred to as a “Covered Person”) against all liabilities and expenses, including but not limited to amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties, and counsel fees reasonably incurred by any Covered Person in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any court or administrative or legislative body, in which such Covered Person may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise or with which such Covered Person may be or may have been threatened, while in office or thereafter, by reason of being or having been such a Covered Person except with respect to any matter as to which such Covered Person shall have been finally adjudicated in any such action, suit or other proceeding to be liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of wilful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Covered Person’s office. Expenses, including counsel fees so incurred by any such Covered Person (but excluding amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines or penalties), shall be paid from time to time by the Trust in advance of the final disposition of any such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay amounts so paid to the Trust if it is ultimately determined that indemnification of such expenses is not authorized under this Article, provided, however, that either (a) such Covered Person shall have provided appropriate security for such undertaking, (b) the Trust shall be insured against losses arising from any such advance payments or (c) either a majority of the disinterested Trustees acting on the matter (provided that a majority of the disinterested Trustees then in office act on the matter), or independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall have determined, based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial type inquiry) that there is reason to believe that such Covered Person will be found entitled to indemnification under this Article.

Compromise Payment

Section 2. As to any matter disposed of (whether by a compromise payment, pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise) without an adjudication by a court, or by any other body before which the proceeding was brought, that such Covered Person either (a) did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the Trust or (b) is liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of wilful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office, indemnification shall be provided if (a) approved as in the best interests of the Trust, after notice that it involved such indemnification, by at least a majority of the disinterested Trustees acting on the matter (provided that a majority of the disinterested Trustees then in office act on the matter) upon a determination, based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial type inquiry) that such Covered Person acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the Trust and is not liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reasons of wilful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office, or (b) there has been obtained an opinion in writing of independent legal counsel, based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial type inquiry) to the effect that such Covered Person appears to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the Trust and that such indemnification would not protect such Person against any liability to the Trust to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of wilful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office. Any approval pursuant to this Section shall not prevent the recovery from any Covered Person of any amount paid to such Covered Person in accordance with this Section as indemnification if such Covered Person is subsequently adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that such Covered Person’s action was in the best interests of the Trust or to have been liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of wilful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Covered Person’s office.”

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers, and controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, 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 Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer, or controlling person of 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, 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 of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Indemnification for the Trust’s principal underwriter is provided for in the Underwriting Agreement incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit (7)(i).The Trust maintains a directors and officers liability insurance policy. In addition, certain officer and the interested trustee are covered by BB&T Corporation’s directors and officers liability insurance policy.
