The first paragraph in the section of each Prospectus titled ‘‘Share Class Arrangements – Class B Shares – Conversion Feature’’ is hereby deleted and replaced with the following: 

Conversion Feature.    After eight years, Class B shares will convert automatically to Class A shares of the Fund with no initial sales charge. The eight-year period runs from the last day of the month in which the shares were purchased or, in the case of Class B shares acquired through an exchange, from the last day of the month in which the original Class B shares were purchased; the shares will convert to Class A shares based on their relative net asset values in the month following the eight-year period. At the same time, an equal proportion of Class B shares acquired through automatically reinvested distributions will convert to Class A shares on the same basis. This conversion will be suspended during any period in which the expense ratio of the Class B shares of the Fund is lower than the expense ratio of the Class A shares of the Fund. 

PLEASE RETAIN THIS SUPPLEMENT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
