Dear Shareholder:

As a shareholder of the AXA Enterprise Growth Fund (“AXA Enterprise Fund”), a series of The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Enterprise Group”), we are writing to again notify you of a special meeting of the shareholders, which has been adjourned to a new date of December 6, 2007. You are being asked to approve the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Fund with and into the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund (“GST Fund”), a series of the Goldman Sachs Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (“GST”) (“Reorganization”). The proposed Reorganization was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of the Enterprise Group (“Enterprise Group Board”) at a meeting held on December 29, 2006. Information about the proposed Reorganization was set forth in a Combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus dated March 2, 2007 (“Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) relating to the special meeting of shareholders originally held on May 9, 2007, subsequently adjourned to June 7, 2007, September 6, 2007 and October 9, 2007. While many shareholders already have cast their votes on the AXA Enterprise Fund’s Reorganization proposal, approval of the proposal requires an unusually high affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s outstanding shares. Thus, it is extremely critical to vote your shares no matter the size of your investment.

*        *        *        *        *

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) of the AXA Enterprise Fund, a series of Enterprise Group, will be held on December 6, 2007, at 11:00 a.m., Eastern time, at the offices of AXA Financial, Inc., 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10104, for the purpose of considering and voting upon:

 

  1. A proposal to approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization by and between Enterprise Group and GST, which provides for and contemplates: (1) the transfer of substantially all of the assets of the AXA Enterprise Fund to the GST Fund in exchange solely for shares of the designated classes of the GST Fund and its assumption of substantially all of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s liabilities; and (2) the distribution of those shares to the shareholders of AXA Enterprise Fund in liquidation thereof.

 

  2. To transact such other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournments thereof.

The above proposal is described in detail in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The Enterprise Group Board unanimously recommends that you vote in favor of the proposal.

The Enterprise Group Board has established a new record date of October 9, 2007 (“New Record Date”) for the adjourned Meeting. Shareholders of record as of the close of business on the New Record Date, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.


  •

Please review the enclosed Proxy Statement/Prospectus as well as the updated information contained below in this letter and then vote your shares by following the directions on the enclosed proxy card or by casting your vote by telephone or on-line using the instructions provided on the enclosed proxy card.
