QUESTIONS & ANSWERS FOR:
AIM ADVANTAGE HEALTH SCIENCES FUND
We encourage you to read the proxy statement in full; however, the following
represent some typical questions that shareholders may have regarding the proxy
statement/prospectus.
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 1-866-905-8141; 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 provided in the shareholder mailing.
o If you do attend the meeting, you may vote your shares in person.
Please notify AIM Investments 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 on the proxy card.
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 March 15, 2007, 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 HAS AIM CONTRACTED FOR THE SERVICES OF A PROXY SOLICITOR?
AIM has hired Computershare Fund Services as its 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 March 15, 2007 at 3:00 p.m. Central Time.
WHAT ARE THE PROPOSALS BEING PRESENTED AT THE MEETING AND WHAT AM I BEING ASKED
TO VOTE ON?
o You are being asked to vote on the approval of an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the "Agreement") under which all of the assets and
liabilities of AIM Advantage Health Sciences Fund (the "Fund"), a
portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust ("Trust"), will be transferred
to AIM Global Health Care Fund ("Buying Fund"), a portfolio of AIM
Investment Funds ("Buyer"), and Buyer will issue shares of each class
of Buying Fund to shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of
the Fund.
WHERE CAN I FIND MORE INFORMATION CONCERNING THE PROPOSAL?
