VAN KAMPEN OHIO VALUE MUNICIPAL INCOME TRUST

                               CUSIP - 921-12W-200

                        NOTICE OF PROPOSED REORGANIZATION



                  NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that VAN KAMPEN OHIO VALUE MUNICIPAL
INCOME TRUST ("Ohio Value Municipal Income Trust") is scheduled to reorganize
into VAN KAMPEN OHIO QUALITY MUNICIPAL TRUST (the "Acquiring Fund") after the
close of business on October 7, 2005.

                  The Acquiring Fund currently has one series of auction
preferred shares ("APS"). After the reorganization is completed, the Acquiring
Fund will have two series of APS: (i) the Acquiring Fund's existing APS will
comprise Series A APS and (ii) the Acquiring Fund will issue a new series of APS
("Acquiring Fund Series B APS") in exchange for Ohio Value Municipal Income
Trust's existing auction preferred shares ("Ohio Value Municipal Income Trust
APS"). One share of Acquiring Fund Series B APS will be issued in exchange for
each share of Ohio Value Municipal Income Trust APS, so that the liquidation
preference for Acquiring Fund Series B APS will be $25,000 per share. The number
of days in the regular dividend period for Acquiring Fund Series B APS will
remain the same as the existing Ohio Value Municipal Income Trust APS (i.e., an
auction for Acquiring Fund Series B APS will occur every seven days, unless the
Acquiring Fund declares a special dividend period).

                  The previous auction for Ohio Value Municipal Income Trust APS
occurred on September 30, 2005. On October 7, 2005, holders of Ohio Value
Municipal Income Trust APS will receive a dividend representing the five day
period from October 3, 2005 through October 7, 2005. The initial dividend rate
for the Acquiring Fund Series B APS will be the rate as determined at the
September 30, 2005 auction for Ohio Value Municipal Income Trust APS, and this
rate will continue until the next regularly scheduled auction for Acquiring Fund
Series B APS, which is expected to be on October 7, 2005 (i.e., 7 days after
September 30, 2005).

                  The foregoing does not constitute an offer of any securities
for sale. The proxy statement/prospectus relating to the proposed reorganization
contains important information and shareholders are urged to read it. Free
copies of the proxy statement/prospectus are available by calling Van Kampen's
Client Relations Department at (800) 341-2929 or on the Securities and Exchange
Commission's web site at www.sec.gov.
