HOW DO I VOTE? Voting may take place in the following ways: o You may vote your shares at www.proxyweb.com unless your shares are held through a broker, in which case you may vote your shares at www.proxyvote.com. You will need the control number from your proxy card to vote on the Internet. Because Internet voting is the most economical way to vote your proxy, we encourage all shareholders to use this method. o You may call in your vote to a 24-hour automated system at 1-888-221-0697. You will need the control number from your proxy card to vote by telephone. For questions or to vote through a customer service representative you may call 1-866-438-4810; you will be asked to verify your identity by providing certain information such as your current address and ZIP code. o You may indicate your vote on the proxy card and return it in the postage-paid envelope mailed to you with this proxy statement. o If you do attend the meeting, you may vote your shares in person. Please notify us by calling 1-800-952-3502 if you plan to attend the meeting. HOW DOES THE BOARD RECOMMEND THAT I VOTE? The Board recommends that you vote FOR the proposal. WHY SHOULD I VOTE? Every vote is important. If shareholders fail to vote their proxies, the fund may not receive enough votes to go forward with the October 29, 2009 shareholder meeting. If this happens, additional solicitations may have to be made to obtain a quorum, or proxies may have to be resent to shareholders, which will result in additional expense to the fund. WHO HAVE WE CONTRACTED FOR THE SERVICES OF A PROXY SOLICITOR? We have hired Computershare Fund Services as the Funds' proxy solicitor. If we do not receive your vote after a reasonable amount of time, you may receive a telephone call from them reminding you to vote your shares. WILL MY VOTE BE CONFIDENTIAL USING THE ONLINE PROXY VOTING SYSTEM? The Web proxy voting system offered by proxyweb.com maintains a high level of security to ensure the confidentiality of your vote. Security features include: o Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) -- A security measure that encrypts all information that travels between proxyweb.com's Web server and the shareholder's computer. o Control Number -- Each shareholder is required to enter his or her control number. Proxyweb.com verifies the number and presents the holder with the proxy card. o Firewall -- To protect the confidentiality of your account records, proxyweb.com uses only control numbers and card codes to register votes. Voted positions are then periodically uploaded to our master database of shareholders listed as of the record date. All account-specific data remains behind our firewall. HOW DO I SIGN THE PROXY CARD? The following general rules for signing proxy cards may be of assistance to you and could help avoid the time and expense involved in validating your vote if you fail to sign your proxy card properly. Individual Accounts: Shareholders should sign exactly as their name appears in the account registration shown on the proxy card. Joint Accounts: All joint owners should sign exactly as their names appear in the account registration shown on the proxy card. All Other Accounts: The capacity of the individual signing the proxy card (for example, "trustee") should be indicated unless it is reflected in the form of registration. If a corporation, limited liability company, or partnership, please sign full entity name and indicate the signer's position with the entity. WHAT IS THE DEADLINE FOR VOTING? All votes must be received before or at the shareholder meeting, which will be held on October 29, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. Central Time. WHAT IS THE PROPOSAL BEING PRESENTED AT THE MEETING AND WHAT AM I BEING ASKED TO VOTE ON? o To approve changing the Fund's sub-classification from "diversified" to "non-diversified" and eliminating the Fund's related fundamental investment restriction on diversification. WHERE CAN I FIND MORE INFORMATION CONCERNING THE PROPOSALS? Further details about the proposals can be found in the proxy statement.
