PROPOSAL NO. 1 -- NEW INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS BETWEEN T. ROWE PRICE
INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND THE FUNDS.

Why are shareholders being asked to approve new investment management
agreements?

Rowe-Price Fleming International, Inc. ("Price-Fleming") was the investment
manager of the funds since their inception. Price-Fleming was 50% owned by
Robert Fleming Holdings Limited ("Flemings") and 50% owned by T. Rowe Price
Associates, Inc. ("T. Rowe Price"). On August 8, 2000, T. Rowe Price became the
sole owner of Price-Fleming. At the same time, T. Rowe Price changed the name of
Price-Fleming to T. Rowe Price International, Inc. ("Price International"). The
August 8, 2000, purchase caused the investment management agreements between the
funds and Price-Fleming (the "Price-Fleming Agreements") to terminate
automatically. On July 18, 2000, in order to avoid disruption of the funds'
investment management programs, the Boards of Directors of the funds, in
accordance with Rule 15a-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940
Act"), approved interim investment management agreements ("Interim Agreements")
between the funds and Price International. The Interim Agreements have a term of
150 days from August 8, 2000. Also, on July 18, 2000, in order to ensure
continuity and avoid disruption of the funds' investment management programs,
the Boards of the funds decided to approve new investment management agreements
(the "Proposed Agreements") with Price International and recommended that
shareholders of the funds be asked to approve these agreements as well.

How do the Proposed Agreements differ from the current ones?

The Proposed Agreements are identical to the Price-Fleming Agreements except
that they reflect the new name of the investment manager: Price International
instead of Price-Fleming. There are no changes in the fees charged or services
being provided. The Proposed Agreements are also identical to the Interim
Agreements except that the term of the Proposed Agreements runs from year to
year, subject to approval of the Boards of Directors, including all of the
independent directors, rather than 150 days. Additionally, the Interim
Agreements include a provision requiring the investment management fees due
Price International to be held in escrow pending approval of the Proposed
Agreements. See Exhibit 1 for a model Proposed Agreement.

What matters were considered by the Boards in recommending the new advisory
agreements?

On July 18, 2000, the Boards of Directors of the funds, including a majority of
the directors who are not "interested persons" of the investment manager or the
funds, unanimously voted to approve the Proposed Agreements.

PAGE 5

In authorizing the Proposed Agreements, the Directors of the funds took special
note that the investment management fees to be paid by the funds and the level
of services to be received by the funds were exactly the same as under the
Interim and Price-Fleming Agreements. The Boards also considered the performance
of the funds individually and relative to other international and global funds,
the level of investment management fees charged by the funds and other
comparable international and global mutual funds, and the overall expense ratios
of the funds in relation to other international and global mutual funds. The
Boards reviewed the expertise, personnel, and resources Price International is
willing to commit to the management of the funds. The Boards took into account
benefits that the funds and Price International might receive as a result of the
funds being a part of the T. Rowe Price family of mutual funds and Price
International being an affiliate of T. Rowe Price. Finally, the Boards took into
account all of the information presented to them at their March 8, 2000, Board
meeting in connection with their annual review of the funds' investment
management agreements. After reviewing all of these factors, the Boards
unanimously recommended that shareholders of the funds be asked to approve the
Proposed Agreements.

When were the current agreements adopted?

The Interim Agreements were approved by the Directors, including a majority of
the independent directors, of the funds on July 18, 2000, and became effective
on August 8, 2000. By their terms, the Proposed Agreements will continue in
effect from year to year as long as they are approved annually by the funds'
Directors (at a meeting called for that purpose) or by vote of a majority of the
funds' outstanding shares. In either case, renewal of the Proposed Agreements
must be approved by a majority of the funds' independent directors. The Proposed
Agreements are subject to termination without penalty on 60 days' written notice
by either party to the other and will terminate automatically in the event of
assignment. The Price-Fleming Agreements were last approved by shareholders as
follows:

International Stock Fund and April 21, 1987
International Bond Fund
European Stock Fund and April 19, 1990
Foreign Equity Fund
International Discovery Fund April 18, 1991
and New Asia Fund

The Price-Fleming Agreements for the other funds were approved by the initial
shareholders at the time of their inception.

What do the funds currently pay to Price International for its advisory
services?

For its services to the funds under the Interim Agreements, Price International
is paid a management fee ("MANAGEMENT FEE") at the rates set forth below. As
noted, the management fees paid under the Interim Agreements are being held in
escrow pending approval of the Proposed Agreements.

Table 1 sets forth the name of each T. Rowe Price sponsored investment company
for which Price International acts as investment manager, the fund's investment
objective and focus, net assets as of June 30, 2000, the annual rate of
compensation (i.e., the fee Price International is paid for its services as
manager to the respective portfolio), whether fees are waived or reduced, and
the total fees paid to Price International for the fund's most recent fiscal
year.

such fees or expenses would cause the funds' ratios of expenses to average net
assets to exceed the indicated percentage limitations. Fees waived or expenses
paid or assumed are subject to reimbursement to Price International by each
fund through the indicated reimbursement date, but no reimbursement will be
made if it would result in a fund's expense ratio exceeding its specified
limit. A summary of the funds' expense limitations and the periods for which
they are effective is set forth below:

/b/
Spectrum Fund does not pay a management fee. However, shareholders in the fund
indirectly pay the management fees of the underlying funds in which Spectrum
invests. A range is given because the management fee fluctuates based on the
portion of the fund's assets invested in each underlying fund.

/c/
The International Stock Portfolio pays an all-in management fee that includes
operating expenses.

Table 2 sets forth the name of each fund subadvised by Price International, its

compensation, and whether fees have been waived or reduced.

Please note that the net asset figures for subadvised funds are based on
internal T. Rowe Price market value records.

* Price International has agreed to waive its fees so that at $200 million, the
subadvisory fee would be.50% on all assets.

**Price International has agreed to waive its fees so that at $500 million, the
subadvisory fee would be 45% on all assets.

What services does Price International provide under the current and Proposed
Agreements?

Under the current and Proposed Agreements, Price International provides the
funds with discretionary investment services. Specifically, Price International
is responsible for supervising and directing the investments of the fund in
accordance with the fund's investment objective, program, and restrictions as
provided in its prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. Price
International is also responsible for effecting all securities transactions on
behalf of the fund, including the negotiation of commissions and the allocation
of principal business and portfolio brokerage. In addition to these services,
Price International provides the fund with a wide range of corporate
administrative services. Each agreement (other than for International Stock
Portfolio and Spectrum International) provides that the funds will bear all
expenses of their operations not specifically assumed by Price International.
The agreement with the International Stock Portfolio provides that Price
International will pay all expenses of the fund with the exception of interest,
taxes, brokerage commissions, directors fees and expenses, and non-recurring and
extraordinary expenses. The agreement with Spectrum International Fund
essentially provides that either the underlying funds in which Spectrum Fund
invests or Price International will bear the expenses of Spectrum International
Fund.

The current and Proposed Agreements also provide that Price International, its
directors, officers, employees, and certain other persons performing specific
functions for the fund will only be liable to the fund for losses resulting from
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of duty.

PAGE 12

Who else provides services to the funds?

Each fund has an underwriting agreement with T. Rowe Price Investment Services,
Inc. ("Investment Services"), a transfer agency agreement with T. Rowe Price
Services, Inc. ("Price Services"), a subtransfer agency agreement with T. Rowe
Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. ("Retirement Services"), and a fund
accounting services agreement with T. Rowe Price. The address of T. Rowe Price
and Investment Services is 100 East Pratt Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202, and
the address of Price Services and Retirement Services is 4515 Painters Mill
Road, Owings Mills, Maryland 21117. Each is a wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe
Price. James S. Riepe is Chairman of the Board of Price Services, Retirement
Services, Investment Services, and the Spectrum Fund. He is also a vice
president of Institutional International Funds, International Funds, and
International Series.

Henry H. Hopkins, a vice president of the funds, is a vice president and
director of both Investment Services and Price Services and a vice president of
Retirement Services. Certain officers and interested directors of the funds own
shares of the common stock of T. Rowe Price, its only class of securities.

What services are provided under these other agreements?

Price Services provides certain transfer agency and other shareholder
administrative and communication services for all accounts. T. Rowe Price
calculates the daily share price and maintains the portfolio and general
accounting records of the funds. Retirement Services performs certain
subaccounting and recordkeeping services with respect to shareholder accounts in
certain retirement plans. The fees paid by the funds to these entities are set
forth below for the most recent fiscal year. All such fees are reviewed annually
by the fund's directors in connection with renewal of the service contracts
involving these entities. The services provided by these entities will continue
to be provided whether or not the Proposed Agreements are approved.

The T. Rowe Price Trust Company (the "TRUST COMPANY"), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of T. Rowe Price, serves as trustee and custodian for certain IRA, Keogh, and
other prototype plans which utilize the Price Funds as investment options. For
these services, the Trust Company charges each such shareholder account a
fiduciary fee. During 1999, the aggregate of such fees totaled approximately
$4.7 million. In addition, Retirement Services provides administrative services
to certain defined contribution retirement plans. During 1999, Retirement
Services received fees from all plans utilizing such services in the amount of
$31.5 million. T. Rowe Price also receives fees for servicing variable annuity
contracts that utilize the T. Rowe Price mutual funds as investment vehicles. In
1999, these fees totaled $900,000.

Investment Services, the distributor for the Price Funds, makes available to
shareholders of the Price Funds and others a brokerage service. During 1999,
this service generated net commissions totaling $19.6 million.

The funds have been authorized to use brokers affiliated with Flemings in
connection with the execution of their portfolio transactions. The aggregate
amount of commissions paid to these affiliated brokers by the funds for their
most recent fiscal year and the percentages these

amounts represented of the total commissions paid by the funds over that period
are set forth below. These brokers ceased to be affiliates of the funds on
August 8, 2000, when Price International became a wholly-owned subsidiary of T.
Rowe Price.

Proposal No. 1 requires the affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of
the shares present at the meeting of the fund in person or by proxy or (b) a
majority of the fund's outstanding shares. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF EACH FUND

International Bond Fund and International Bond Fund - Advisor Class will be
combined. The votes of the International Stock Fund and the International Stock
Fund - Advisor Class will be combined.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 -- AMENDMENT OF THE FOREIGN EQUITY FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL POLICY ON
SECURITIES LENDING.

The Foreign Equity Fund has a fundamental policy that prohibits it from engaging
in any securities lending. It is the only fund among the T. Rowe Price
international funds that has such a policy. The directors of the fund recommend
changing the policy to permit the fund to engage in securities lending.

In making its decision, the directors determined that the potential benefits of
permitting the fund to make securities loans outweigh the potential risks.
Securities lending has the potential to increase the fund's income as a result
of fees received by the fund from the borrowers of the securities. The potential
risk in a securities loan is that the borrower will default, that is, be unable
to return the lent security at all or return it late. To protect against this
risk, the fund's investment manager will only lend securities to persons it
believes to be creditworthy. Further, all securities loans would be fully
collateralized with liquid, high-grade debt securities. This means that at the
time the fund would make a loan of its securities, it would receive as
collateral liquid, high-grade debt securities or cash in an amount at least
equal to the value of the securities lent plus an additional amount as
determined by the fund and borrower. The amount of collateral is adjusted daily
to ensure that it remains at the appropriate level throughout the time the
securities are on loan. When the securities are returned to the fund, the
collateral is returned to the borrower. The fund would also have the right to
terminate the loan at any time and receive the securities back in a timely
manner. While there is no guarantee that the fund would have the same results,
the experience of the fund's investment manager to date with securities lending
in the other portfolios it manages has been positive. No defaults have occurred
and the income received by those other portfolios has contributed to their
overall income and return.

If the proposed change is approved by shareholders, the fund's fundamental
policy on lending would be amended to permit securities lending as follows (the
new language is in bold):

The fund may not make loans, although the fund may (i) lend portfolio securities
and participate in an interfund lending program with other Price Funds provided
that no such loan may be made if, as a result, the aggregate of such loans would
exceed 33 1/3% of the value of the fund's total assets; (ii) purchase money
market securities and enter into repurchase agreements; and (iii) acquire
publicly distributed or privately placed debt securities and purchase debt.

PAGE 16

What vote is required to approve this amendment to the fund's policies and
practices?

Proposal No. 2 requires the affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of
the shares present at the meeting of the fund in person or by proxy or (b) a
majority of the fund's outstanding shares. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS
THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 -- AMENDMENT OF THE NEW ASIA FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL POLICY TO CHANGE
ITS STATUS FROM DIVERSIFIED TO NON-DIVERSIFIED.

The fund is considered to be a diversified mutual fund under the 1940 Act. This
means that as a matter of fundamental policy the fund will not purchase a
security if, as a result, with respect to 75% of its total assets, more than 5%
of the fund's total assets would be invested in securities of a single issuer or
more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer would be held
by the fund. The directors of the fund recommend amending this fundamental
policy to change the fund to nondiversified. A nondiversified fund can invest a
greater portion of its assets in, and own a greater amount of the voting
securities of, a single company than a diversified fund. As a result, the fund
could become somewhat riskier because it would have the ability to hold larger
positions in a fewer number of securities.

Importantly, the fund is not seeking this change in order to invest the
portfolio in a significantly fewer number of issuers. However, the fund's
benchmark, the MSCI All Country Far East Free Ex-Japan Index ("MSCI Index"), has
become increasingly dominated by a small group of large companies. The fund does
not seek to replicate the MSCI Index. However, if it were enthusiastic about the
dominant stocks in the index and wished to overweight them, it could be
prevented from doing so given the fund's current policy on diversification.
Therefore, to provide the fund with sufficient investment flexibility to pursue
its investment program, the fund's Board believes it would be prudent to remove
the diversification restriction to which it is now subject.

If the proposal is approved, the fund will still be subject to the
diversification rules of the Internal Revenue Code. These provide that the fund
will not purchase a security if, as a result, with respect to 50% (instead of
75%) of its total assets, more than 5% of the fund's total assets would be
invested in securities of a single issuer or more than 10% of the outstanding
voting securities of the issuer would be held by the fund.

PROPOSAL NO. 4 -- ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

ALL FUNDS (other than Spectrum International)

Who are the nominees for director?

The Boards have proposed a slate of the five persons listed in Table 5 for
election as director, each to hold office until the next annual meeting (if any)
or until his successor is duly elected and qualified. Each of the nominees is a
member of the present Board of Directors of each fund and has served in that
capacity since originally elected.

A shareholder using the enclosed proxy card can vote for all or any of the
nominees or withhold his or her vote from all or any of such nominees. If the
proxy card is properly executed but unmarked, it will be voted for all of the
nominees. Each of the nominees has agreed to serve as a director if elected;
however, should any nominee become unable or unwilling to accept nomination or
election, the persons named in the proxy will exercise their voting power in
favor of such other person or persons as the Boards of the funds may recommend.
There are no family relationships among these nominees.

Shareholders are being asked to elect the Board of Directors of their respective
fund(s) only.

Do the nominees have a stake in the funds?

The Boards of the funds believe it is important that each nominee for director
have an investment in the T. Rowe Price funds. The nominees allocate their
investments among the T. Rowe Price funds based on their own investment
objectives. Table 5 lists each nominee's investment in the funds, if any, as
well as his total investment in all of the T. Rowe Price funds.

What are the primary responsibilities of each fund's Board members?

They are responsible for the general oversight of each fund's business and for
assuring that each fund is managed in the best interests of its shareholders.
The directors periodically review the performance, expenses, and service
providers of the funds based on reports provided by Price International, T. Rowe
Price, auditors, and legal counsel.

How often does each fund's Board meet?

The Boards of Directors of the funds held five meetings during fiscal year 1999,
and each director standing for reelection attended 75% or more of those
meetings. The Board of Directors for the T. Rowe Price International Funds,
Inc., has held seven meetings so far during fiscal year 2000. The Boards of
Directors of the Institutional International Funds, Inc., and the T. Rowe Price
International Series, Inc., have met six times. Each director standing for
reelection has attended 75% or more of the meetings held so far during fiscal
year 2000. Each Board currently has two committees, described in the following
paragraphs.

The Nominating Committee, which functions only in an advisory capacity, is
responsible for reviewing and recommending to the full Board candidates for
election as independent directors or trustees to fill vacancies on each fund's
Board. The Nominating Committee will consider written recommendations from
shareholders for possible nominees. Shareholders should submit their
recommendations to the

PAGE 20

secretary of the funds. Members of the Nominating Committee are Messrs. Deering,
Dick, and Wythes. They met informally during the last fiscal year, but the
committee as such held no formal meetings.

The Joint Audit Committee includes at least one independent trustee/ director
representing each of the T. Rowe Price funds. Mr. Wythes, a nominee of the fund,
is a member of the committee. The other members are F. Pierce Linaweaver, John
G. Schreiber, and Hubert D. Vos, independent directors of other T. Rowe Price
funds. These directors also receive a fee of $1,000 for each committee meeting
attended. The Audit Committee holds two regular meetings during each fiscal
year, at which time it meets with the independent accountants of the T. Rowe
Price funds to review: (1) the services provided; (2) the findings of the most
recent audit; (3) management's response to the findings of the most recent
audit; (4) the scope of the audit to be performed; (5) the accountants' fees;
and (6) any accounting or other questions relating to particular areas of the T.
Rowe Price funds' operations or the operations of parties dealing with the T.
Rowe Price funds, as circumstances indicate. The Audit Committee for the funds
met four times in 1999 and twice so far in 2000. All members of the committee
participated in the meetings. The Audit Committee for the Spectrum International
Fund met once in 1999. All members of the committee participated in the meeting.

What are the directors paid for their services to the funds?

Messrs. Testa and Wade are employed by, and thus are considered "interested
persons" of, Price International. Therefore, they are not entitled to
compensation or benefits from the funds for their service as directors of the
funds.

Messrs. Deering, Dick, and Wythes are the independent, or noninterested,
directors of the funds. Their directors' fees are based on the following fee
schedule applicable to all independent directors of the T. Rowe Price funds: an
annual retainer of $65,000 per year for service on the Boards of the T. Rowe
Price domestic funds, an additional annual retainer of $15,000 for service on
the boards of the T. Rowe Price international funds, and a fee of $1,000 for
each Audit Committee meeting attended. The Price fund group included 88 funds

PAGE 21

at December 31, 1999. The independent directors of the funds do not receive any
pension or retirement benefits from the funds or T. Rowe Price.

Table 7 provides the independent directors' accrued compensation for the most
recently completed fiscal year of each fund and their total compensation for the
period January 1, 1999, through December 31, 1999. The fees are allocated to
each fund under a formula which includes a base fee and a fee based on the net
assets of each fund relative to the other funds.

Each corporation, Institutional International, International Funds, and
International Series, votes separately but all funds or series of each
corporation vote together. A plurality of the combined votes cast at the meeting
by the shareholders of all funds or series of each corporation is sufficient to
approve the election of a director of that corporation. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR ALL OF THE PROPOSED NOMINEES. The votes of
the International Bond Fund and International Bond Fund - Advisor Class will be
combined. The votes of the International Stock Fund and the International Stock
Fund - Advisor Class will be combined.

PROPOSAL NO. 5 -- SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

All Funds

The selection by the Board of Directors of the firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP as the independent accountants for the funds for their current fiscal year
is to be submitted for ratification or rejection by the shareholders at the
annual meeting. The firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has served each fund as
independent accountants since its inception. The independent accountants have
advised the funds that they have no direct or material indirect financial
interest in the funds. Representatives of the firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
are expected to be present at the annual meeting and will be available to make a
statement, if they desire to do so, and to respond to appropriate questions
which the shareholders may wish to address to them. Table 8 lists the various
fiscal year-ends for the funds.

vote by a majority of the shares cast at the meeting of each fund in person or
by proxy. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE
PROPOSAL. The votes of the International

Class will be combined.

FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING AND THE SHAREHOLDER MEETING

What is the required quorum?

To hold the meeting, a majority of each fund's shares entitled to be voted must
have been received by proxy or be present at the meeting. In the event that a
quorum is present but sufficient votes in favor of one or more of the proposals
are not received by the meeting date, the persons named as proxies may propose
one or more adjournments to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any such
adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares
present in person or by proxy at the meeting to be adjourned. The persons named
as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment if they determine that
additional solicitation is reasonable and in the interests of the fund's
shareholders.

How are the votes counted?

The individuals named as proxies (or their substitutes) on the enclosed proxy
card (or cards, if you have multiple funds or accounts) will vote according to
your directions if your proxy is received properly executed, or in accordance
with your instructions given when voting by telephone or Internet. You may
direct the proxy holders to vote your shares on a proposal by checking the
appropriate box "FOR" or "AGAINST," or instruct them not to vote those shares on
the proposal by checking the "ABSTAIN" box. Alternatively, you may simply sign,
date, and return your proxy card(s) with no specific instructions as to the
proposals. IF YOU PROPERLY EXECUTE YOUR PROXY CARD AND GIVE NO VOTING
INSTRUCTIONS WITH RESPECT TO A PROPOSAL, YOUR SHARES WILL BE VOTED FOR THE
PROPOSAL.

PAGE 24

Abstentions and "broker non-votes" (as defined below) are counted for purposes
of determining whether a quorum is present for purposes of convening the
meeting. "Broker non-votes" are shares held by a broker or nominee for which an
executed proxy is received by the fund but are not voted as to one or more
proposals because instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners
or persons entitled to vote, and the broker or nominee does not have
discretionary voting power. If a proposal must be approved by a percentage of
votes cast on the proposal, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted
as "votes cast" on the proposal and will have no effect on the result of the
vote. If the proposal must be approved by a percentage of voting securities
present at the meeting or a majority of the fund's outstanding shares,
abstentions and broker non-votes will be considered to be voting securities that
are present and will have the effect of being counted as votes against the
proposal.

For shares held in IRA accounts, the Custodian shall, without written direction
from the investor, vote shares for which no voting instructions are timely
received in the same proportion as shares for which voting instructions from
other shareholders are timely received. Shares of the International Stock
Portfolio held by insurance company separate accounts for which the insurance
company has not received timely voting instructions, as well as shares the
insurance company owns, shall be voted in the same proportion as shares for
which voting instructions from contract holders are timely received.

Can additional matters be acted upon at the annual meeting?

The management of the funds knows of no other business which may come before the
meeting. However, if any additional matters are properly presented at the
meeting, it is intended that the persons named in the enclosed proxy, or their
substitutes, will vote on such matters in accordance with their judgment.

How can proxies be recorded?

You may record your votes on the proxy card enclosed with this statement and
mail it in the prepaid envelope provided to Management Information Services
Corp., who the funds have retained to tabulate the votes. In addition, the funds
(except the International Stock Portfolio) have arranged to have votes recorded
through the Internet or by telephone. The telephone and Internet voting
procedures are designed to authenticate shareholders' identities, to allow
shareholders to authorize the voting of their shares in accordance with their
instructions, and to confirm that their instructions have been properly
recorded.

PAGE 25

How can proxies be solicited, and who pays for the costs involved?

Directors, officers, or employees of the funds, Price International or T. Rowe
Price, may solicit proxies by mail, in person, or by telephone. In the event
that votes are solicited by telephone, shareholders would be called at the
telephone number T. Rowe Price has in its records for their accounts, and would
be asked for their Social Security number or other identifying information. The
shareholders would then be given an opportunity to authorize proxies to vote
their shares at the meeting in accordance with their instructions. To ensure
that shareholders' instructions have been recorded correctly, confirmation of
the instructions is also mailed. A special toll-free number will be available in
case the information contained in the confirmation is incorrect.

To ensure that sufficient shares of common stock are represented at the meeting
to permit approval of the proposals outlined in the proxy statement, the funds
may retain the services of a proxy solicitor to assist them in soliciting
proxies for a fee plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses. Securities
brokers, custodians, fiduciaries, and other persons holding shares as nominees
will be reimbursed, upon request, for their reasonable expenses in sending
solicitation materials to the principals of the accounts.

The approximate date on which this proxy statement and proxy card are first
being mailed to shareholders is September 1, 2000.

All costs of the shareholder meetings and the proxy solicitation will be paid
for by Price International.

Can I change my vote after I mail my proxy?

Any proxy, including those given via the Internet or by telephone, may be
revoked at any time before it is voted by filing a written notice of revocation
with the funds, by delivering a properly executed proxy bearing a later date, or
by attending the meeting and voting in person.

Are the funds required to hold annual meetings?

Under Maryland law, the funds are not required to hold annual meetings. The
Board of Directors of each fund has determined that the funds will take
advantage of these Maryland law provisions to avoid the significant expense
associated with holding annual meetings, including legal, accounting, printing,
and mailing fees incurred in preparing proxy materials. Accordingly, no annual
meetings shall be held in any year in which a meeting is not otherwise required
to be held by the 1940 Act unless the Boards determine otherwise. However,
special meetings will be held in accordance with applicable law or when
otherwise determined by each fund's Board.

PAGE 26

If a shareholder wishes to present a proposal to be included in the proxy
statement for the next shareholder meeting, the proposal must be submitted in
writing and received by Patricia B. Lippert, Secretary of the Funds, T. Rowe
Price Associates, Inc., 100 East Pratt Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202, within
a reasonable time before the funds begin to print and mail their proxy
materials.

monthly to the Manager on the first business day of the next succeeding calendar
month and shall be calculated as follows:

A.
GROUP FEE. The monthly Group Fee ("Monthly Group Fee") shall be the sum of the
daily Group Fee accruals ("Daily Group Fee Accruals") for each month. The Daily
Group Fee Accrual for any particular day will be computed by multiplying the
Price Funds' group fee accrual as determined below ("Daily Price Funds' Group
Fee Accrual") by the ratio of the Fund's net assets for that day to the sum of
the aggregate net assets of the Price Funds for that day. The Daily Price Funds'
Group Fee Accrual for any particular day shall be calculated by multiplying the
fraction of one (1) over the number of calendar days in the year by the
annualized Daily Price Funds' Group Fee Accrual for that day as determined in
accordance with the following schedule:

PAGE 38

Price Funds Annual Group
Base Fee Rate for Each Level of Assets

0.295% Thereafter

The Price Funds shall include all the mutual funds distributed by T. Rowe
Price Investment Services, Inc., (other than institutional, "private label" or
index funds, Spectrum Funds and Reserve Investment Funds). For the purposes of
calculating the Daily Price Funds' Group Fee Accrual for any particular day, the
net assets of each Price Fund shall be determined in accordance with the Fund's
prospectus, as of the close of business on the previous business day on which
the Fund was open for business.

B.
FUND FEE. The monthly Fund Fee ("Monthly Fund Fee") shall be the sum of the
daily Fund Fee accruals ("Daily Fund Fee Accruals") for each month. The Daily
Fund Fee Accrual for any particular day will be computed by multiplying the
fraction of one (1) over the number of calendar days in the year by the Fund Fee
Rate as set forth below and multiplying this product by the net assets of the
Fund for that day, as determined in accordance with the Fund's prospectus as of
the close of business on the previous business day on which the Fund was open
for business.

year-to-date expenses shall be computed daily by prorating the Expense
Limitation based on the number of days elapsed within the fiscal year of the
Fund, or limitation period, if shorter ("Prorated Limitation"). The Prorated
Limitation shall be compared to the expenses of the Fund recorded through the
prior day in order to produce the allowable expenses to be recorded for the
current day ("Allowable Expenses"). If the Fund's Management Fee and other
expenses for the current day exceed the Allowable Expenses, the Management Fee
for the current day shall be reduced by such excess ("Unaccrued Fees"). In the
event the excess exceeds the amount due as the Management Fee, the Manager shall
be responsible to the Fund for the additional excess ("Other Expenses Exceeding
Limit"). If at any time up through and including the Certain Date, the Fund's
Management Fee and other expenses for the current day are less than the
Allowable Expenses, the differential shall be due to the Manager as payment of
cumulative Unaccrued Fees (if any) or as payment for cumulative Other Expenses
Exceeding Limit (if any). If cumulative Unaccrued Fees or cumulative Other
Expenses Exceeding Limit remain at the Certain Date, these amounts shall be paid
to the Manager in the future provided that: (1) no such payment shall be made to
the Manager after a two year reimbursement period following the Certain Date;
and (2) such payment shall only be made to the extent that it does not result in
the Fund's aggregate expenses exceeding the Expense Limitation. The Manager may
voluntarily agree to an additional expense limitation (any such additional
expense limitation hereinafter referred to as an "Additional Expense
Limitation"), at the same or a different level and for the same or a different
period of time beyond the Certain Date (any such additional period being
hereinafter referred to an as "Additional Period") provided, however, that: (1)
the calculations and methods of payment shall be as described above; (2) no
payment for cumulative Unaccrued Fees or cumulative Other Expenses Exceeding
Limit shall be made to the Manager more than two years after the end of an
Additional Period; and (3) payment for cumulative Unaccrued Fees or cumulative
Other Expenses Exceeding Limit after the expiration of the Additional

3.4.1
SHAREHOLDER ACCOUNT FEE (INTERNATIONAL STOCK PORTFOLIO). The Corporation, on
behalf of the Fund, by resolution of the board of directors, including a
majority of the independent directors, may from time to time authorize the
imposition of a fee as a direct charge against shareholder accounts to be
retained by the Fund or to be paid to the Manager to defray expenses which would
otherwise be paid by the Manager in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph
2 of this Agreement. At least 60 days' prior written notice of the intent to
impose such fee must be given to the Fund's shareholders.

3.5.
PRORATION OF FEE (ALL FUNDS). If this Agreement becomes effective or terminates
before the end of any month, the Fee for the period from the effective date to
the end of such month or from the beginning of such month to the date of
termination, as the case may be, shall be prorated according to the proportion
which such period bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or
termination occurs.

4.
BROKERAGE. Subject to the approval of the board of directors, the Manager, in
carrying out its duties under Paragraph 1.A., may cause the Corporation, with
respect to the Fund, to pay a broker-dealer which furnishes brokerage or
research services [as such services are defined under Section 28(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "'34 Act")], a higher
commission than that which might be charged by another broker-dealer which does
not furnish brokerage or research services or which furnishes brokerage or
research services deemed to be of lesser value, if such commission is deemed
reasonable in relation to the brokerage and research services provided by the
broker-dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the
overall responsibilities of the Manager with respect to the accounts as to which
it exercises investment discretion (as such term is defined under Section
3(a)(35) of the '34 Act).

5.
MANAGER'S USE OF THE SERVICES OF OTHERS. The Manager may (at its cost except as
contemplated by Paragraph 4 of this Agreement) employ, retain, or otherwise
avail itself of the services or facilities of other persons or organizations for
the purpose of providing the Manager or the Corporation or Fund, as appropriate,
with such statistical and other factual information, such advice regarding
economic factors and trends, such advice as to occasional transactions in
specific securities or such other information, advice or assistance as the
Manager may deem necessary, appropriate, or convenient for the discharge of its
obligations hereunder or otherwise helpful to the Corporation or Fund, as
appropriate, or in the discharge of Manager's overall responsibilities with
respect to the other accounts which it serves as investment manager.

6.
OWNERSHIP OF RECORDS. All records required to be maintained and preserved by the
Corporation or Fund pursuant to the provisions of rules or regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 31(a) of the Act and maintained

appropriate, are the property of the Corporation or Fund, as appropriate, and
will be surrendered by the Manager promptly on request by the Corporation or
Fund, as appropriate.

PAGE 42

7.
REPORTS TO MANAGER. The Corporation or Fund, as appropriate, shall furnish or
otherwise make available to the Manager such prospectuses, financial statements,
proxy statements, reports, and other information relating to the business and
affairs of the Corporation or Fund, as appropriate, as the Manager may, at any
time or from time to time, reasonably require in order to discharge its
obligations under this Agreement.

8.
SERVICES TO OTHER CLIENTS. Nothing herein contained shall limit the freedom of
the Manager or any affiliated person of the Manager to render investment
supervisory and corporate administrative services to other investment companies,
to act as investment manager or investment counselor to other persons, firms, or
corporations, or to engage in other business activities; but so long as this
Agreement or any extension, renewal, or amendment hereof shall remain in effect
or until the Manager shall otherwise consent, the Manager shall be the only
investment manager to the Fund.

9.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF MANAGER. Neither the Manager nor any of its officers,
directors, or employees, nor any person performing executive, administrative,
trading, or other functions for the Corporation or Fund (at the direction or
request of the Manager) or the Manager in connection with the Manager's
discharge of its obligations undertaken or reasonably assumed with respect to
this Agreement, shall be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or
for any loss suffered by the Corporation or Fund in connection with the matters
to which this Agreement relates, except for loss resulting from willful
misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its or his
duties on behalf of the Corporation or Fund or from reckless disregard by the
Manager or any such person of the duties of the Manager under this Agreement.

10.
USE OF MANAGER'S NAME. The Corporation or Fund may use the name "T. Rowe Price
International Funds, Inc." or any other name derived from the name "T. Rowe
Price" only for so long as this Agreement or any extension, renewal, or
amendment hereof remains in effect, including any similar agreement with any
organization which shall have succeeded to the business of the Manager as
investment manager. At such time as this Agreement or any extension, renewal, or
amendment hereof, or such other similar agreement shall no longer be in effect,
the Corporation or Fund will (by corporate action, if necessary) cease to use
any name derived from the name "T. Rowe Price," any name similar thereto or any
other name indicating that it is advised by or otherwise connected with the
Manager, or with any organization which shall have succeeded to the Manager's
business as investment manager.

TERM OF AGREEMENT. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the date first
above written, and unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided, this
Agreement shall remain in effect through April 30, 2001. Thereafter, this
Agreement shall continue in effect from year to year, with respect to the Fund,

PAGE 43

either the Board of Directors of the Corporation, or by vote of a majority of
the outstanding voting securities of the Fund; (b) in either event by the vote,
cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval,
of a majority of the directors of the Corporation, with respect to the Fund, who
are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any such party; and
(c) the Manager shall not have notified the Corporation, in writing, at least 60
days prior to April 30, 2001 or prior to April 30th of any year thereafter, that
it does not desire such continuation. The Manager shall furnish to the
Corporation, promptly upon its request, such information as may reasonably be
necessary to evaluate the terms of this Agreement or any extension, renewal, or
amendment hereof.

securities of the Fund, and this Agreement shall automatically and immediately
terminate in the event of its assignment.

13.
TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement may be terminated by either party
hereto, without the payment of any penalty, upon 60 days' prior notice in
writing to the other party; provided, that in the case of termination by the
Corporation, with respect to the Fund, such action shall have been authorized by
resolution of a majority of the directors of the Corporation who are not parties
to this Agreement or interested persons of any such party, or by vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

of the Corporation of its responsibility for and control of the conduct of the
affairs of the Fund.

To International Stock Portfolio shareholders

Dear Shareholder:

We cordially invite you to attend the annual meeting of shareholders of the T.
Rowe Price International Stock Portfolio on Wednesday, October 25, 2000. Several
issues affecting your fund will be on the agenda. THE FUND'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS
RECOMMENDS THE FOLLOWING PROPOSALS, AND WE ASK YOU TO READ THE ENCLOSED
INFORMATION CAREFULLY AND REGISTER YOUR VOTES.

. To approve a new investment management agreement for the fund. As you know,
the International Stock Portfolio was managed by Rowe Price-Fleming, a 50/50
joint venture between T. Rowe Price Associates and Robert Fleming Holdings. On
August 8, 2000, T. Rowe Price became the sole owner of the investment
management company and renamed it T. Rowe Price International, Inc. This
transaction caused the investment management agreement with Rowe Price-Fleming
to terminate automatically. We are seeking your approval of a new agreement
between the fund and T. Rowe Price International, Inc. that is identical to
the prior one. There are no changes in fees or services.

. To elect the directors nominated for the fund's Board.

. To ratify the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent
accountants.

We realize it may be difficult for you to attend the meeting to vote your
shares, so we are enclosing a proxy card. Just indicate your votes, sign, date,
and return the card in the envelope provided. If you have any questions, please
call us at 1-800-541-5910. YOUR VOTE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

Sincerely,

[To international funds shareholders]

Dear Shareholder:

We cordially invite you to attend an annual meeting of shareholders of the T.
Rowe Price international funds on Wednesday, October 25, 2000. Several important
issues affecting your funds will be on the agenda: three apply to all
shareholders in the international funds; one applies only to shareholders in the
New Asia Fund; and one applies to the Foreign Equity Fund. (The Foreign Equity
Fund is for institutional investors.) THE FUNDS' BOARDS OF DIRECTORS RECOMMEND
THE FOLLOWING PROPOSALS, AND WE ASK YOU TO READ THE ENCLOSED INFORMATION
CAREFULLY AND REGISTER YOUR VOTES.

Proposals affecting all international funds:
. To approve a new Investment Management Agreement for each international fund.
As you know, the international funds were managed by Rowe Price-Fleming, a
50/50 joint venture between T. Rowe Price Associates and Robert Fleming
Holdings. On August 8, 2000, T. Rowe Price became the sole owner of the
investment management company and renamed it T. Rowe Price International, Inc.
This transaction caused the investment management agreements with Rowe
Price-Fleming to terminate automatically. The funds' Directors previously
approved interim management agreements and we are seeking your approval of new
agreements between the funds and T. Rowe Price International, Inc. that are
identical to the prior ones. There are no changes in fees or services.

. To elect directors for the Boards of the funds (except for Spectrum
International).

. To ratify the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent
accountants.

Proposal affecting New Asia Fund:
. To change the fund's status to "nondiversified." The New Asia Fund is
currently classified as "diversified," which means its holdings must meet
certain diversification criteria established by the Investment Act of 1940
(see page 17 of this proxy). Importantly, the fund is not seeking this change
in order to invest the portfolio in a significantly fewer number of issuers.
However, a number of large, fast growing companies represent significant
portions of the region's market value. This change will give the fund the
flexibility it needs if the managers wish to increase exposure to these
companies.

Proposal affecting Foreign Equity Fund:
. To permit the fund to lend securities. Securities lending can generate
significant income for the Fund. Granting the fund this right would align its
fundamental policy on securities lending with corresponding policies of all
other T. Rowe Price international funds. This program will be subject to all
of the existing controls in place in the Price Funds Securities Lending
Program (see page 16) and to a T. Rowe Price limit on all lending to no more
than 33 1/3% of the value of a fund's total assets.

We realize it may be difficult for you to attend the meeting to vote your
shares. HOWEVER, WE NEED YOUR VOTE. YOU CAN VOTE BY MAIL, TELEPHONE, OR THROUGH
THE INTERNET, AS EXPLAINED ON THE ENCLOSED CARD.

If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-541-5910. YOUR VOTE IS
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

Sincerely,

/s/Martin G. Wade
