Q&A

What is the reason for and advantages of this merger?

The proposed merger would combine two small funds, creating a single fund with greater assets and lower expenses and provide shareholders of Fidelity International Bond Fund with an opportunity to invest in a fund with broader investment policies, and a lower management fee. Fidelity Strategic Income Fund has significantly outperformed Fidelity International Bond Fund in each of the last two years, as evidenced by historical performance. Please keep in mind that past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Annual Total Returns (periods ended December 31)
	2000	1999
Fidelity International Bond Fund	1.49%	0.46%
Fidelity Strategic Income Fund	4.07%	6.35%

Do the funds being merged have similar investment objectives?

No. Fidelity International Bond Fund seeks high total investment return. Fidelity Strategic Income Fund seeks a high level of current income and may also seek capital appreciation.

Is the merger considered a taxable event for federal income tax purposes?

No, the exchange of shares in a fund merger transaction will not result in a gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

How will you determine the number of shares of Fidelity Strategic Income that I will receive?

As of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange on the Closing Date of the merger, shareholders will receive the number of full and fractional shares of Fidelity Strategic Income Fund that is equal in value to the net asset value of their shares of Fidelity International Bond Fund on that date. The anticipated Closing Date is January 17, 2002.

What if there are not enough votes to reach quorum by the scheduled shareholder meeting date?

To facilitate receiving sufficient votes, we will need to take further action. Fidelity, or D.F. King & Co., Inc., a proxy solicitation firm, may contact you by mail or telephone. Therefore, we encourage shareholders to vote as soon as they review the enclosed proxy materials to avoid additional mailings or telephone calls.

If there are not sufficient votes to approve the proposals by the time of the Shareholder Meeting (December 19, 2001), the meeting may be adjourned to permit further solicitation of proxy votes.

Has the fund's Board of Trustees approved the proposal?

Yes. The Board of Trustees has unanimously approved the merger proposal and recommends that you vote to approve the merger.

How many votes am I entitled to cast?

As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value you own of Fidelity International Bond Fund on the record date. The record date is October 22, 2001.

How do I vote my shares?

You can vote your shares by completing and signing the enclosed proxy card(s), and mailing it in the enclosed postage paid envelope; or by touch-tone telephone using the toll-free number located on your proxy card.
