We may also have contacted you by telephone to inform you of this proposal and let you know that we can take your vote by phone. We apologize for any inconvenience our calls may have caused you, but we want to emphasize the importance of this proposal and your vote. We believe one combined fund will result in greater efficiencies than two separate funds. The reorganization has been structured as a tax-free transaction for shareholders. As we did not receive votes sufficient to approve the proposal at the shareholder meeting scheduled for June 30, 1997, we have adjourned the meeting until July 14, 1997. Therefore, we are again requesting that you vote your shares. The Fund's Directors have carefully reviewed this proposed reorganization and believe it is in the best interest of shareholders. They recommend you vote FOR the proposal. YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT! Voting Instructions (Telephone or Mail): - --------------------------------------- Telephone: We are offering a convenient way to vote your shares by telephone. Simply call 1-800-424-3107 from 8:00 am until 9:00 pm eastern time and a customer service representative will personally take your vote. A written confirmation of your vote will be mailed to you. Mail: If you prefer to vote by mail, please sign the enclosed proxy card and return it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. If you have already voted, we thank you for your participation. No further action is required on your part. We sincerely appreciate your vote and hope that you will take a moment to help us obtain the necessary votes on this important issue affecting your Fund. If you have any questions about this proposal, please call Evergreen Keystone at 1-800-343-2898.
