URGENT: SPECIAL MEETING OF MDT ALL CAP CORE FUND, MDT TAX AWARE / ALL CAP
CORE FUND, AND MDT SMALL CAP CORE FUND SHAREHOLDERS ADJOURNED UNTIL FRIDAY,
DECEMBER 8, 2006
Dear MDT Shareholder:
Today, the MDT Funds' shareholder meeting to reorganize the MDT Funds into
Federated MDT Funds and to authorize new advisory contracts was adjourned for
those shareholders invested in the MDT All Cap Core Fund, the MDT Tax Aware /
All Cap Core Fund, and the MDT Small Cap Core Fund. Sufficient votes have
already been obtained for the additional six MDT Funds. This adjournment
allows the proxy solicitation process to continue in an effort to obtain the
required vote of each fund's outstanding shares. Although we are close to
obtaining the necessary vote, we still need your help. So again, I write to ask
those of you who have not yet cast your vote in the three above mentioned MDT
funds to please vote your shares before Friday, December 8, 2006. YOUR VOTE IS
CRITICAL TO THE BUSINESS NEEDS OF YOUR MDT FUND AND WILL ULTIMATELY PREVENT THE
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL MEETING POSTPONEMENTS. The shareholder meeting will
reconvene at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, December 8, 2006.
PLEASE CAST YOUR ESSENTIAL VOTE.
