Dear :
As you may already know, Kemper Corporation, the parent company of Kemper
Financial Services, Inc., has entered into an agreement to be acquired by an
investor group comprised of Zurich Insurance Group and Insurance Partners.
Your Kemper fund and investment will not change as a result of this merger.
You will still own the same shares in the same fund.
The merger of Kemper Corp. and Zurich Insurance is contingent upon several
customary conditions, including the approval of the Kemper mutual fund boards
of trustees and shareholders. Consequently, you were recently sent a
shareholder proxy statement that requires your vote on several important
issues.
The first item addressed in the proxy is the election of the funds' board of
trustees. The second item asks you to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young
LLP as the funds independent auditors. You are then asked to approve an
investment management agreement with Kemper Financial Services, Inc. or its
successor. The terms of the agreement are the same as the current agreement.
However, federal law requires that shareholders approve a new agreement in
cases where control of the investment manager changes.
Finally, shareholders with Class B or Class C Shares will be asked to approve a
new Rule 12b-1 distribution plan with Kemper Distributors, Inc. or its
successor. Although the advisory fees charged to your fund will not change and
the fee rate payable under your fund's 12b-1 plan will not change, federal law
requires shareholder approval with regard to this matter as well.
I encourage you to take a few moments to review your proxy statement and
exercise your right as a shareholder to vote on these issues. If you have any
questions concerning the proxy, please feel free to call me directly at (phone
#) or contact Kemper Shareholder Services toll-free at 1-800-621-1048.
Very truly yours,
