QUESTIONS & ANSWERS FOR:

INVESCO OPPENHEIMER V.I. CAPITAL APPRECIATION 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.

HOW DO I VOTE?

Voting may take place in the following ways:

 

   

You may vote your shares on the voting website listed on your proxy card or voting instruction card. You will need the 14-digit control number from your proxy card or voting instruction 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.

 

   

You may call in your vote to a 24-hour automated system or a live proxy representative by calling the phone number(s) listed on your proxy card or voting instruction card. You will need the 14-digit control number from your proxy card or voting instruction card to vote by telephone.

 

   

You may indicate your vote on the proxy card or voting instruction card and return it in the postage-paid envelope mailed to you with your proxy statement.

 

   

If you do participate in the meeting online via live webcast, you will need to follow the instructions in the proxy statement and on your proxy card or voting instruction card and provide the 14-digit control number found on your proxy card or voting instruction card, so you may vote your shares. Please notify us by calling 1-800-952-3502 if you plan to participate in the meeting online via live webcast.

WHAT IS THE PROPOSAL BEING PRESENTED AT THE SHAREHOLDER MEETING AND WHAT AM I BEING ASKED TO VOTE ON?

 

   

To approve changing the Fund’s sub-classification from “diversified” to “non-diversified” and approve the elimination of a related fundamental investment restriction.

HOW DOES THE BOARD RECOMMEND THAT I VOTE?

The Board recommends that you vote FOR the Proposal.

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 January 22, 2021 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.

WHO HAVE WE CONTRACTED FOR THE SERVICES OF A PROXY SOLICITOR?

We have hired Computershare, Inc. as the Fund’s 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.
