QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT PROXY VOTING
FOR SHAREHOLDERS OF
AIM INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND
AIM WORLDWIDE GROWTH FUND
AIM EMERGING MARKETS FUND
We encourage you to read the proxy statement in full; however, the following
questions and answers represent some typical questions that shareholders might
have regarding the proxy statement.
1. What am I being asked to vote on?
2. How will this reorganization benefit me?
3. Will the reorganization affect the value of my account?
4. Are any sales charges applicable to this reorganization?
5. Are there any tax consequences to shareholders as a result of the
reorganization?
6. How does the Board recommend that I vote?
7. Why should I bother to vote?
8. Has AIM contracted for the services of a proxy solicitor?
9. How do I register my vote?
10. Will my vote be confidential using the online proxy voting system?
11. How do I sign the proxy card?
12. When is the deadline for voting?
1. WHAT AM I BEING ASKED TO VOTE ON?
You are being asked to approve the reorganization and merger of the AIM
International Growth Fund with AIM International Equity Fund, AIM Worldwide
Growth Fund with AIM Global Growth Fund, and AIM Emerging Markets Fund with AIM
Developing Markets Fund.
AIM International Growth Fund, AIM Worldwide Growth Fund, and AIM Emerging
Markets Fund are the acquired funds and AIM International Equity Fund, AIM
Global Growth Fund, and AIM Developing Markets Fund are the acquiring funds.
6
The shareholders of the Advisor Class of AIM International Growth Fund and AIM
Worldwide Growth Fund will receive Class A shares of acquiring funds.
The shareholders of the Advisor Class of AIM Emerging Markets Fund will receive
shares of the existing Advisor Class of AIM Developing Markets Fund.
2. HOW WILL THIS REORGANIZATION BENEFIT ME?
FOR THE INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND AND WORLDWIDE GROWTH FUND'S
SHAREHOLDERS:
o The acquiring funds have essentially the same investment objectives and
policies as the acquired funds.
o The acquiring funds have better performance records and generally lower
operating expense ratios than the acquired funds.
o The acquiring funds are substantially larger than the acquired funds and
have a more stable base of assets.
FOR THE EMERGING MARKETS FUND'S SHAREHOLDERS:
o Both Funds have essentially the same investment objectives and policies.
o The acquiring fund has the ability to invest more extensively in debt
securities giving it greater flexibility to respond to volatility in the
equity markets.
o Expense ratio of acquiring fund could decrease if the combined Fund
experienced increased sales of its shares.
3. WILL THE REORGANIZATION AFFECT THE VALUE OF MY ACCOUNT?
The value of your account will be the same immediately after the reorganization
as it was prior to the reorganization. Of course, as was the case with your
acquired fund, your account value in the acquiring fund may fluctuate because
of market conditions. The net asset value of a Fund's shares is determined at
the close of each business day the New York Stock Exchange is open.
7
4. ARE ANY SALES CHARGES APPLICABLE TO THIS REORGANIZATION?
You will not pay any initial sales charge for shares of the acquiring funds
received in connection with the reorganization.
5. ARE THERE ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SHAREHOLDERS AS A RESULT OF THE
REORGANIZATION?
The reorganization will be tax-free to the Funds and its shareholders.
6. HOW DOES THE BOARD RECOMMEND THAT I VOTE?
The Board recommends that you vote "FOR" all the proposals on the proxy card.
7. WHY SHOULD I BOTHER TO VOTE?
Every vote is important. If shareholders fail to vote their proxies, your Fund
may not receive enough votes to go forward with its meeting. If this happens,
AIM may have to do extra solicitations to obtain a quorum or re-mail proxies to
shareholders, incurring unnecessary additional costs.
8. HAS AIM CONTRACTED FOR THE SERVICES OF A PROXY SOLICITOR?
Yes. The proxy solicitor that AIM is using is Shareholder Communications
Corporation. If we do not hear from you after a reasonable amount of time you
may receive a telephone call from them reminding you to vote your shares.
9. HOW DO I REGISTER MY VOTE?
o You may indicate your vote on the proxy card and return it in the
postage-paid envelope.
o You may fax the proxy card to Shareholder Communications Corporation, our
proxy solicitor, at 1-800-733-1885.
8
o You may call in your vote to Shareholder Communications Corporation at
1-800-733-8481, ext 464.
o You may vote your shares through our web site at http://www.aimfunds.com
where you will find an icon for Online Proxy Voting.
10. WILL MY VOTE BE CONFIDENTIAL USING THE ONLINE PROXY VOTING SYSTEM?
The web proxy voting system offered by Proxycard.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 Proxycard.com web server and the
shareholder's computer.
o Control Number - Each shareholder is required to enter his or her pre-issued
control number. Proxycard.com verifies the number and presents the holder
with the appropriate proxy card for his or her position.
o Firewall - To protect the confidentiality of your account records,
Proxycard.com uses only control numbers and card codes to register votes.
Voted positions are then periodically uploaded to our master database of
shareholders' accounts. All account specific data remains behind our
firewall.
11. HOW DO I SIGN THE PROXY CARD? (Does not apply if voting by Phone or
Internet)
Individual Accounts: Shareholders should sign exactly as their
names appear on the account registration shown on the proxy card.
Joint Accounts: All joint owners should sign exactly as their names appear in
the registration.
All Other Accounts: The person signing must indicate his or
her capacity. For example, a trustee for a trust or other entity should
sign, "Jane A. Doe, Trustee."
9
12. WHEN IS THE DEADLINE FOR VOTING?
All votes must be received prior to the Shareholder Meeting, which will be held
at 3:00 p.m. on February 10, 1999.
