NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS to be held March zz, 2016


Dear Stockholders:
The Board of Directors of The American Growth Fund, Inc. (the "Company", or "Fund") is holding a special meeting ("Special Meeting") of stockholders of Series Two, Thursday, March ____, 2016 at 2:00 p.m., Mountain Time. The meeting will be held at the offices of the Company located at:

American Growth Fund, Inc.
1636 Logan Street
Denver, CO 80203.

The Special Meeting is being held to present to Series Two stockholders the following Proposal 1 along with the ability of the designated proxies to act on any other business as may properly come before the Special Meeting:

1. To change Series Two from a diversified growth mutual fund to a diversified mutual sector fund. A sector fund is a stock mutual, exchange-traded or closed-end fund that invests primarily in companies that operate in a particular industry or sector of the economy. The Company will primarily focus Series Two on investments in companies associated with the cannabis industry which may include investments in, for example, legally registered publicly traded companies such as agriculture, pharmaceutical, hydroponic or tobacco companies or REITs. The investment objective, policies, strategies and risks of Series Two will substantially change and are detailed below and/or in the Proxy Statement under Proposal 1. This change in the investment objective, policies and risks of Series Two will not affect the total balance in your account. The Company had expected more assets, and stockholders purchasing and holding Series Two shares, than have been raised. Fund management believes that the proposed changes in the structure of Series Two offers the potential for increasing the assets in Series Two. Investment Research Corporation (the "Adviser") will continue as the investment adviser for the Company and the Investment Committee responsible for the day-to-day management of the Company will not change. If you vote FOR all of the changes to Series Two´s structure, this will not be a taxable event to you. Fund management is proposing the following changes to the Series Two fundamental investment policies;

1a. To change Series Two from a diversified growth mutual fund to a diversified sector mutual fund that will focus on investments in companies associated with the cannabis industry which may include investments in, for example, legally registered publicly traded companies such as agriculture, pharmaceutical, hydroponic or tobacco companies or REITs.






1b. Modification of Series Two fundamental investment policy governing the issuance of senior securities or purchase of securities of another investment company or investment trust. Currently, Series Two cannot issue senior securities or purchase securities of another investment company or investment trust except in the open market and under several other conditions. Under the new structure, Series Two would continue to be unable to issue senior securities, but would be able to invest in other investment companies or investment trusts under a different set of conditions which are set forth in the Proxy Statement.

1c. Modification of the Series Two fundamental investment policy governing security issuers which have been in operation for less than three years. Currently Series Two cannot invest in the securities of issuers which have been in operation for less than three years if such purchase at the time thereof would cause more than 5% of the total assets of the Series Two to be so invested, and in any event, any such investments must be limited to utility or pipeline companies. Under the new structure this fundamental investment policy would be deleted in its entirety from Series Two´s registration statement which would allow Series Two to invest in companies that have been in business for less than three years.

1d. Modification of the Series Two fundamental investment policy governing real estate. Currently Series Two cannot invest in real estate. Under the new structure this fundamental investment policy would be modified to allow Series Two to invest in Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REIT") but not in direct Real Estate. An REIT is an investment company that owns assets related to real estate such as buildings, land and real estate securities. This fundamental investment policy will be revised to read: Series Two cannot invest in direct real estate, but may invest in REITs as permitted by the 1940 Act or other governing statute, by the Rules thereunder, or by the SEC or other regulatory agency with authority over Series Two.

1e. Modification of the Series Two fundamental investment policy governing investment in puts, calls, straddles and spreads. Currently Series Two cannot invest in puts, calls, straddles, spreads or any combination thereof. Under the new structure this fundamental investment policy would be deleted in its entirety from Series Two´s registration statement which would allow Series Two to invest in puts, calls, straddles and spreads as permitted by the 1940 Act or other governing statute, by the Rules thereunder, or by the SEC or other regulatory agency with authority over Series Two.

1f. Modification of the Series Two fundamental investment policy governing diversification of Series Two´s investments. Currently, Series Two cannot invest more than 5% of the value of its total assets at the time of investment in securities of any one issuer other than securities issued by the United States Government, or hold more than 10% of any class of voting securities or other securities of any one issuer in its securities portfolio pursuant to Series Two´s fundamental investment policies. Under the new structure, these diversification of investment limitations would only apply to 75% of Series Two´s total assets.

1g. Modification of the Series Two fundamental investment policy governing commodities contracts. Currently Series Two cannot invest in commodities or commodity contracts. Under the new structure this fundamental investment policy would be modified to allow Series Two to invest in commodities contracts. This fundamental investment policy will be revised to read: Series Two may invest in commodity contracts as permitted by the 1940 Act or other governing statute, by the Rules thereunder, or by the SEC or other regulatory agency with authority over Series Two.

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

The Company has fixed the close of business on February ____, 2016 as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting.





Each share of the Fund is entitled to one vote and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional share held.

You are cordially invited to attend the Special Meeting. If you are unable to attend the Special Meeting, please complete, date, sign and return the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed postage paid return envelope or by facsimile. It is very important that you return your signed proxy card promptly so that a quorum may be ensured and the costs of further solicitations avoided. As always, we thank you for your confidence and support.

The Company´s Board of Directors has carefully reviewed Proposal 1 and recommends that you vote "FOR" Items 1a through 1g and the ability of the designated proxies to act on any other business as may properly come before the Special Meeting.


By Order of the Company,

February ____, 2016

PROXY STATEMENT

SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

To Be Held March _____, 2016


Introduction

American Growth Fund, Inc. (the "Company" or "Fund") has called a special meeting (the "Special Meeting") of the stockholders of Series Two, a separate series of the Company, in order to seek stockholder approval of Proposal 1 and the ability of the designated proxies to act on any other business as made properly come before the Special Meeting.

Proposal 1 is to change the structure of Series Two into a diversified sector mutual fund focused on the cannabis industry.

The reorganization of Series Two into a diversified sector mutual fund focused on the cannabis industry requires several fundamental investment policy changes to be approved by the Series Two stockholders. Series Two´s operating expenses may decrease over time if, as fund management believes they will, Series Two grows in assets. Investment Research Corporation (the "Adviser") will continue as investment adviser for the Series Two and the Investment Committee´s responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Fund´s securities portfolios will not change.

If all of these changes are approved, Series Two will primarily invest in securities that are involved, in at least some aspect, in the cannabis industry. The cannabis industry does not need to be the sole focus point of a company for Series Two to invest in it nor does it need to account for a majority of its overall revenues. For example, Series Two may invest in Company XYZ, a pharmaceutical company developing uses for medical cannabis even if the revenues produced as a result of the sales of medical cannabis is responsible for less than 5% of XYZ´s overall revenue.

The cannabis industry is a quickly growing and emerging business. As a result there are additional risks that you should consider. Some of these risks are;
~ Political, Economic and Regulatory Risk - Changes in economic and tax policies, high inflation rates, government instability, and other political or economic actions or factors that may have an adverse effect on Series Two. Governmental and regulatory actions, including law changes, may have unexpected or adverse consequences on particular markets, strategies, or investments. Legislation or regulation may also change the way in which Series Two itself is regulated. Series Two cannot predict the effects of any new governmental regulation or law that may be implemented on the ability of Series Two to invest in certain assets, or the possible effect on our ability to access financial markets, and there can be no assurance that any new governmental regulation will not adversely affect Series Two´s ability to achieve its investment objectives.
~ REITs Risk - Under its modified fundamental investment policies, Series Two may invest in REITs (Real Estate Investment Trust), including Equity REITs and Mortgage REITs. Equity REITs invest directly in property while Mortgage REITs invest in mortgages on real property. REITs may be subject to certain risks associated with the direct ownership of real property including declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general and local economic conditions, over building and increased competition, increase in property taxes and operating expenses, and variations in rental income. REITS are dependent on management skills, are not diversified, and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers and self-liquidation. REITs (especially mortgage REITs) are also subject to interest rate risk. When interest rates decline, the value of a REIT´s investment in fixed-rate obligations can be expected to rise. Conversely, when interest rate rise, the value of a REIT´s investment in fixed-rate obligations can be


Proxy Page 1




expected to decline. Mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit extended to them.
~ Small Cap Risk - small cap stocks tend to have a high exposure to market fluctuations and failure.
~ Liquidity Risk - Additionally Series Two may face increased liquidity risk which is the risk that a given security or asset may not be readily marketable.

The Special Meeting will be held at the offices of the American Growth Fund, Inc. located at 1636 Logan Street, Denver, CO 80203 at 2:00p.m. Mountain Time, on Thursday, March ____, 2016. This Proxy Statement and form of proxy are being mailed to stockholders of record on or about February ____, 2016.

Items for Consideration

The Special Meeting has been called by the Board of Directors of the Company for the following specific purpose:

1. To obtain stockholder approval of the proposal to change Series Two from a diversified growth mutual fund to a diversified sector mutual fund. A sector mutual fund is a stock mutual, exchange-traded or closed-end fund that invests primarily in companies that operate in a particular industry or sector of the economy. The Company will focus Series Two on investments in companies associated with the cannabis industry which may include investments in, for example, legally registered publicly traded companies such as agriculture, pharmaceutical, hydroponic or tobacco companies or REITs. The investment objective, policies, strategies and risks of the new Series Two will substantially change and are detailed below under Proposal 1. This change in the investment objective, policies, strategies and risks of Series Two will not affect the total balance in your account. The Company had expected more assets, and stockholders purchasing and holding Series Two shares, than have been raised. Fund management believes that the proposed changes in the structure of Series Two offers the potential for increasing the assets of Series Two. Investment Research Corporation (the "Adviser") will continue as the investment adviser for the Company and the Investment Committee responsible for the day-to-day management of the Company will not change. If you vote FOR all of the changes to Series Two´s structure, this will not be a taxable event to you. In order to operate as a sector mutual fund, Fund management is proposing the changes to the Series Two fundamental investment policies, stockholder approval of all of which is needed, set forth below.

2. To obtain stockholder approval of the proposal to transact such other business as may properly come before the Special Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on February ____, 2016 (the "Record Date") are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof.


PROPOSAL 1

American Growth Fund Series Two

To approve the reorganization of Series Two from a diversified growth mutual fund to a diversified sector mutual fund primarily focused on the cannabis industry and to approve each and every one of the changes to Series Two´s fundamental investment policies.


Proxy Page 2




SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL 1

Below is a brief summary of this Proposal and how it will affect Series Two ("Existing Fund"). We urge you to read the full text of the Proxy Statement.

You are being asked to consider a reorganization of Series Two. The Existing Fund is currently part of American Growth Fund, Inc. (the "Company"). The Existing Fund offers two classes of shares - Class E and Class F. If approved by stockholders, Series Two will become a diversified sector mutual fund focused on the cannabis industry. Approval of this proposal requires that the Series Two stockholders approve all of the changes to the Existing Fund´s fundamental investment policies set forth below. The Company´s investment adviser and Investment Committee will remain the same. The service providers to the Series One will remain the same. The Company´s service providers are as follows: Investment Research Corporation (Adviser), Fund Services, Inc. (Transfer Agent), UMB Bank NA (Custodian), UMB Bank NA (Retirement Plan Custodian), Tait Weller & Baker LLP (Independent Auditor), Jones & Keller P.C. (Legal Counsel), and World Capital Brokerage, Inc. (Underwriter).

Each stockholder will own the same value of shares of the Series Two immediately after the reorganization. The reorganization of Series Two will result in comparable stockholder services as the Existing Fund is currently receiving. The total operating expense ratio of Series Two may become slightly lower, in the long term, as a result of the reorganization and anticipated growth. In the short term, stockholders may see a slight rise in the expense ratio as a result of the proxy solicitation. The Adviser believes that stockholders may benefit in the long-term as a result of anticipated asset growth opportunities in Series Two.

The Series Two will be overseen by the same Board of Directors.

The reorganization of the Existing Fund will be accomplished as follows:

a. Changing Series Two from a diversified growth mutual fund to a diversified sector mutual fund that will focus on investments in companies associated with the cannabis industry which may include investments in, for example, legally registered publicly traded companies such as agriculture, pharmaceutical, hydroponic equipment or tobacco companies or REITs.

b. Modification of the Series Two fundamental investment policy governing the issuance of senior securities or purchase of securities of another investment company or investment trust. Currently, Series Two cannot issue senior securities or purchase securities of another investment company or investment trust except in the open market and under several other conditions. Under the new structure, Series Two would continue to be unable to issue senior securities, but would be able to invest in other investment companies or investment trusts under a different set of conditions which are set forth later in the Proxy Statement. Series Two would be able to invest in other investment companies or investment trusts under the following set of conditions;

(1) Other Investment Companies - Series Two will be able to invest in other investment companies to the extent permitted by applicable law or SEC exemption. Under Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act, a mutual fund generally is limited to investing only up to 10% of its assets in shares of other investment companies and up to 5% of its assets in any one investment company, and no such investment can represent more than 3% of the voting stock of an acquired investment company. In addition, no mutual funds for which IRC acts as an advisor may, in the aggregate, own more than 10% of the voting stock of a closed-end investment company. The 1940 Act and related rules provide certain exemptions from these restrictions. If a mutual fund invests in other investment companies, shareholders will bear not only their proportionate share of the fund´s expenses (including operating expenses and the fees of the advisor), but they also may indirectly bear the similar expenses of the underlying investment companies. Certain


Proxy Page 3




investment companies, such as business development companies (BDCs), are more akin to operating companies and, as such, their expenses are not direct expenses paid by fund shareholders and are not used to calculate the fund´s net asset value. SEC rules nevertheless require that any expenses incurred by a BDC be included in a fund´s expense ratio as "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses." The expense ratio of a mutual fund that holds a BDC will thus overstate what the fund actually spends on portfolio management, administrative services, and other shareholder services by an amount equal to these Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. The Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not included in a mutual fund´s financial statements, which provide a clearer picture of a mutual fund´s actual operating expenses. Shareholders would also be exposed to the risks associated not only with the investments of the mutual fund but also with the portfolio investments of the underlying investment companies. Certain types of investment companies, such as closed-end investment companies, issue a fixed number of shares that typically trade on a stock exchange or over-the-counter at a premium or discount to their net asset value. Others are continuously offered at net asset value but also may be traded on the secondary market.

(2) Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) - An equity REIT owns either real estate properties directly and generates income from rental and lease payments, or owns shares of companies in the real estate business. Equity REITs also have the potential to generate capital gains as properties or real estate company shares are sold at a profit. A mortgage REIT makes construction, development, and long-term mortgage loans to commercial real estate developers and earns interest income on these loans. A hybrid REIT holds interests in properties and real estate companies and mortgages. To avoid taxation at the corporate level, REITs must distribute most of their earnings to shareholders.
Investments in REITs are subject to many of the same risks as direct investments in real estate. In general, real estate values can be affected by a variety of factors, including supply and demand for properties, general or local economic conditions, and the strength of specific industries that rent properties. Ultimately, a REIT´s performance depends on the types and locations of the properties it owns and on how well the REIT manages its properties. For example, rental income could decline because of extended vacancies, increased competition from nearby properties, tenants´ failure to pay rent, or incompetent management. Property values could decrease because of overbuilding in the area, environmental liabilities, uninsured damages caused by natural disasters, a general decline in the quality of the neighborhood, losses because of casualty or condemnation, increases in property taxes, or changes in zoning laws.
The value of a REIT may also be affected by changes in interest rates. Rising interest rates generally increase the cost of financing for real estate projects, which could cause the value of an equity REIT to decline. During periods of declining interest rates, mortgagors may elect to prepay mortgages held by mortgage REITs, which could lower or diminish the yield on the REIT. REITs are also subject to heavy cash-flow dependency, default by borrowers, and changes in tax and regulatory requirements. In addition, a REIT may fail to qualify for tax-exempt status under the Internal Revenue Code and/or fail to maintain an exemption from the 1940 Act.

c. Modification of the Series Two fundamental investment policy governing security issuers which have been in operation for less than three years. Currently Series Two cannot invest in the securities of issuers which have been in operation for less than three years if such purchase at the time thereof would cause more than 5% of the total assets of the Series Two to be so invested, and in any event, any such investments must be limited to utility or pipeline companies. Under the new structure this fundamental investment policy would be deleted in its entirety from Series Two´s registration statement which would allow Series Two to invest in companies that have been in business for less than three years.

d. Modification of the Series Two fundamental investment policy governing real estate. Currently Series Two cannot invest in real estate. Under the new structure this fundamental investment policy would be modified to allow Series Two to invest in Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REIT") but not in direct Real Estate. An REIT is an investment company that owns assets related to real estate such as buildings,

Proxy Page 4




land and real estate securities. This fundamental investment policy will be revised to read: Series Two cannot invest in direct real estate, but may invest in REITs as permitted by the 1940 Act or other governing statute, by the Rules thereunder, or by the SEC or other regulatory agency with authority over Series Two.

e. Modification of the Series Two fundamental investment policy governing investment in puts, calls, straddles and spreads. Currently Series Two cannot invest in puts, calls, straddles, spreads or any combination thereof. Under the new structure this fundamental investment policy would be deleted in its entirety from Series Two´s registration statement which would allow Series Two to invest in puts, calls, straddles and spreads as permitted by the 1940 Act or other governing statute, by the Rules thereunder, or by the SEC or other regulatory agency with authority over Series Two.

f. Modification of the Series Two fundamental investment policy governing diversification of Series Two´s investments. Currently, Series Two cannot invest more than 5% of the value of its total assets at the time of investment in securities of any one issuer other than securities issued by the United States Government, or hold more than 10% of any class of voting securities or other securities of any one issuer in its securities portfolio. Under the new structure, these diversification of investment limitations would only apply to 75% of Series Two´s total assets.

g. Modification of the Series Two fundamental investment policy governing commodities contracts. Currently Series Two cannot invest in commodities or commodity contracts. Under the new structure this fundamental investment policy would be modified to allow Series Two to invest in Commodities contracts. This fundamental investment policy will be revised to read: Series Two may invest in commodity contracts as permitted by the 1940 Act or other governing statute, by the Rules thereunder, or by the SEC or other regulatory agency with authority over Series Two.

The Board of Directors of the Company, including the Directors who are not "interested persons" as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Independent Directors"), in attendance, considered Proposal to, and unanimously determined that the res of Series Two will be in the best interest of the Existing Fund and its stockholders.

The following documents have been filed with the SEC and are incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement:

* Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") for the Existing Fund and Series One dated November 27, 2015; and

* Annual Report to Stockholders of the Existing Fund and Series One, including audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2015.

The most recent annual report of the Existing Fund, including audited financial statements, for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2015 has been mailed, and the most recent semi-annual report for the period ended January 31, 2016 will be mailed shortly, to stockholders. If you do not receive these reports or would like to receive additional copies free of charge or would like to receive copies of the Prospectus and SAI free of charge, please contact the Existing Fund at the address set forth on the first page of this Proxy Statement or by calling 1-800-525-2406, and they will be sent to you within three business days by first class mail. You may also access these reports on the Fund´s website at www.americangrowthfund.com.

REASONS FOR THE CHANGES IN THE FUNDAMEMTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES OF SERIES TWO

The Board of Directors held detailed discussions with the Advisor and officers of the Fund as to the future prospects of Series Two. Among other things, the Board noted that the Adviser had considered the size of the Existing Fund as well as ease of administration of the Company. The Company had expected more assets, and stockholders purchasing and holding Series Two shares, than have been raised. The Adviser has indicated that it can support Series Two operating as a sector mutual fund. The Board considered and approved the option to reorganize the Existing Fund into a sector mutual fund by changing all of the Existing Fund´s fundamental investment policies set forth above.

The Board noted that the proposal to reorganize Series Two is in the stockholder´s best interest. The Adviser noted, and the Board considered, that Series Two Stockholders that did not wish to be part of the reorganized Series Two could redeem their shares from the Existing Fund prior to the reorganization. Investment objectives, policies and strategies of the Company will continue to be managed by the same Adviser and by the same Investment Committee. The Board determined the payment of costs and expenses associated with the reorganization of Series Two to be reasonable, fair, and in the best interest of Series Two stockholders. The Board considered the fact that the reorganization would not be taxable.

The Board considered that the Adviser believed that Proposal 1 may offer the potential for future increases in Company assets under management, thereby creating the opportunity for future cost savings for the Company.

After consideration of this and other factors it deemed appropriate, the Board of Directors of the Company, including all of the Independent Directors, approved Proposal 1 and has recommended such Proposal to Series Two stockholders for their approval. In approving the proposal to restructure Series Two, the Directors of the Company determined that the restructure of Series Two would be in the best interests of the Existing Fund and its Stockholders.

The Board now submits to stockholders of the Existing Fund the proposal to approve the Reorganization. If stockholders approve this Proposal which requires their approval of all of the changes to the Existing Funds fundamental investment policies set forth above, the Directors and officers of the Company will execute and implement the reorganization of Series Two. If this proposal is approved, an amended Registration Statement for the Company would be filed with the SEC within 2 business days of the approval. The time it will take the SEC Staff to process the amended Registration Statement ("Approval Date") cannot be projected in advance and is not within the control of the Company. The Company will make every effort to work with the SEC Staff to complete the process as quickly as possible.


SUMMARY OF THE IMPORTANT TERMS OF PROPOSAL 1

Below is a summary of the important terms of this Proposal.

Under this Proposal, up until the Approval Date, Series Two will function as it currently is functioning. On the Approval Date Series Two will begin the process of switching over to a diversified sector mutual fund which involves liquidating those securities that do not fit within its new investment criteria and purchasing new securities that do fall within its new investment criteria.

The Adviser to the Existing Fund will continue to serve as the investment adviser to the Series Two. Series Two will continue to be overseen by the same Investment Committee and Board of Directors. If approved by Series Two stockholders, the amended registration statement filing is expected to take place within two business days of the approval.


Proxy Page 6




The reorganization is subject to a number of conditions. Certain of these conditions may be waived by the Board of Directors of the Company. The significant conditions include approval of Proposal 1 by stockholders of the Existing Fund.

The reorganization may be terminated and abandoned at any time prior to the Approval Date, and before or after approval of this proposal by the stockholders of the Existing Fund, or by the Board of Directors of the Company. In addition, the reorganization may be modified upon mutual agreement.


OPERATIONS OF THE REORGANIZED SERIES TWO

Fees and Expenses

The table of Fees and Expenses and the Examples shown below are based on fees and expenses as shown in the Existing Fund´s prospectus. The following table is designed to help you understand the fees and expenses that you may pay, both directly and indirectly, by investing in Series One´s Shares as compared to the Shares of the Existing Fund.

Table of Fees and Expenses Class E (Series Two) Shares

STOCKHOLDER FEES Series Two
Maximum sales charge (load) imposed on purchases (as a percentage of offering price) 5.75%

Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Company with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Company for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Company´s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Class E $1,216 $2,464

Information on Stockholder Services

The reorganized Series Two will offer the same stockholder services as the Existing Fund.
Shares of Series Two may be redeemed at a redemption price equal to the net asset value of the shares as next determined following the receipt of a redemption order and any other required documentation in proper form, less any applicable redemption fee. Payment of redemption proceeds for redeemed Series Two shares will generally be made within seven days after receipt of a redemption request in proper form and required documentation.

Minimum Initial and Subsequent Investment Amounts

The reorganized Series Two will have no minimum or subsequent minimum purchase requirements.

Dividends and Distributions

The reorganized Series Two will have the same dividend and distribution policy as the Existing Fund. Series Two Stockholders who have elected to have their dividends reinvested will continue to have dividends reinvested in the Series Two following the change in structure of the Existing Fund. Stockholders who currently have capital gains reinvested in the Existing Fund will continue to have capital gains reinvested in the Series Two after the change in structure of the Existing Fund.

Distribution Arrangements - Series Two Class E Shares

Class E
Class E shares have an up-front sales charge of up to 5.75% that you pay when you buy shares.
The offering price for Class E shares includes the front-end sales charge.
If you invest $50,000 or more, your front-end sales charge will be reduced.
You may qualify for other reduced sales charges, as described in the Company´s prospectus section How to Reduce Your Sales Charge, and under certain circumstances the sales charge may be waived.
Class A and E shares are also subject to an annual 12b-1 fee no greater than 0.30% of average net assets.
Class E shares are not subject to a contingent deferred sales charge unless they are sold in amounts of $1,000,000 or more at net asset value and are redeemed within one year of purchase.


The Existing Fund is offered through financial supermarkets, advisers and consultants, financial planners, brokers, dealers and other investment professionals, and directly through the Fund´s distributor. Investment professionals who offer shares may request fees from their individual clients. If you invest through a third party, the policies and fees may be different than those described in the Company´s prospectus. For example, third parties may charge transaction fees or set different minimum investment amounts. If you purchase your Class E shares through a broker-dealer, the broker-dealer firm is entitled to receive a percentage of the sales charge you pay in order to purchase Fund shares. Class E Shares of the Existing Fund are subject to an identical front-end sales charge and a distribution and service fee.

$1,000,000 and over* 0.00% 0.00% 0.00%
* As shown above, there is no front-end sales charge when you purchase $1 million or more of Class E shares. However, if your financial adviser is paid a commission on your purchase, you may have to pay a limited contingent deferred sales charge of 1% if you redeem these shares within the first year.

Sales charge reductions. We offer a number of ways to reduce or eliminate the sales charge on shares. Please refer to the Company´s Statement of Additional Information for detailed information and eligibility requirements. You can also get additional information from your financial adviser.

REGULATORY MATTERS

VOTING INFORMATION

Voting Securities and Required Vote

As of January 26, 2016, there were 167,831 par value shares of common stock of the Series Two outstanding.

All stockholders of record of the Existing Fund on February ____, 2016 are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting on the Proposals. Each Existing Fund stockholder is entitled to one vote per share held, and fractional votes for fractional shares held, on any matter submitted to a vote at the Special Meeting.

With regard to the Existing Fund, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote representing more than fifty percent of the total combined net asset value of all shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business at the Special Meeting. Any meeting of Existing Fund Stockholders may be adjourned from time to time by a majority of the votes of the Existing Fund Stockholders properly cast upon the question of adjourning a meeting to another date and time, whether or not a quorum is present, and the meeting may be held as adjourned within a reasonable time after the date set for the original meeting without further notice. Proxies returned for shares that represent broker non-votes, and shares whose proxies reflect an abstention on the Proposals, are all counted as shares present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining whether the required quorum of shares exists. However, since such shares are not voted in favor of the Proposals, they have the effect of counting as a vote AGAINST the Proposals. An affirmative vote of the holders of a majority (i.e., greater than 50% of the shares represented in person or by proxy) of the outstanding voting shares of the Existing Fund present at the Special Meeting or represented by proxy is required for the approval of the Proposals.
You may attend the Special Meeting and vote in person or you can vote your shares by completing and signing the enclosed proxy card(s) and mailing it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. You may also vote by telephone by calling the toll-free number printed on your proxy card(s).
If you simply sign and date the proxy card, but do not indicate a specific vote on the Proposals, your shares will be voted FOR the Proposals and to grant discretionary authority to the persons named as proxies on the card to vote as they determine as to any other matters that may properly come before the Special Meeting. Abstentions will be treated as votes AGAINST the Proposal.
Stockholders who execute proxies may revoke them at any time before they are voted by (1) filing with the Existing Fund a written notice of revocation, or (2) by attending the Special Meeting and voting in person.
The Company is not required, and does not intend, to hold regular annual meetings of stockholders. If the transfer of the assets and liabilities of the Existing Fund into Series One or the reorganization is not approved, and the Existing Fund is not dissolved then stockholders wishing to submit proposals for consideration for inclusion in the Existing Fund´s proxy statement for any future meeting of stockholders should send their written proposals to the Secretary of the Fund, c/o American Growth Fund, Inc. 1636


Proxy Page 15




Logan Street, Denver, CO 80203 so they are received within a reasonable time before any such meeting. No business other than the Proposals is expected to come before the Special Meeting. If any other matters arise requiring a vote of Series Two Stockholders, including any question as to an adjournment or postponement of the Special Meeting, the persons named on the enclosed proxy card will vote on such matters according to his or her best judgment in the interests of the Existing Fund.

Adjournments

It is important that we receive your signed proxy card to ensure that there is a quorum for the Special Meeting. If we do not receive your vote, you may be contacted by a representative of the Company who will remind you to vote your shares and help you return your proxy card. In the event a quorum is present at the Special Meeting but sufficient votes to approve the Proposals are not received, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies.

Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares represented at the Special Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

Effect of Abstentions and Broker "Non-Votes"

All proxies voted, including abstentions and broker non-votes (shares held by brokers or nominees where the underlying holder has not voted and the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote the shares), will be counted toward establishing a quorum. In addition if a broker has not received instructions from beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and the proposals to be voted upon may "affect substantially" a stockholder´s rights or privileges, the broker may not vote the shares as to those proposals even if it has discretionary voting power. As a result, these shares also will be treated as broker non-votes for purposes of proposals that may "affect substantially" a stockholder´s rights or privileges (but will not be treated as broker non-votes for other proposals, including adjournment of the Special Meeting).
Abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as shares voted against the proposals. Treating broker non-votes as votes against a proposal can have the effect of causing stockholders who choose not to participate in the proxy vote to prevail over stockholders who cast votes or provide voting instructions to their brokers or nominees. In order to prevent this result, the Existing Fund may request that selected brokers or nominees refrain from returning proxies on behalf of shares for which voting instructions have not been received from beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote. The Existing Fund also may request that selected brokers or nominees return proxies on behalf of shares for which voting instructions have not been received if doing so is necessary to obtain a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be voted "FOR" or "AGAINST" any adjournment.

Notice to Banks, Broker-Dealers and Voting Trustees and Their Nominees

Banks, broker-dealers, voting trustees and their nominees should advise the Company, in care of American Growth Fund, Inc. 1636 Logan Street, Denver, CO, whether other persons are beneficial owners of shares held in their names for which proxies are being solicited and, if so, the number of copies of the Proxy Statement they wish to receive in order to supply copies to the beneficial owners of the respective shares.

Householding

As permitted by law, only one copy of this Proxy Statement is being delivered to stockholders residing at the same address, unless such stockholders have notified the Company of their desire to receive multiple copies of the reports and proxy statements the Company sends. If you would like to receive an additional copy, please contact the Existing Fund by writing to the address set forth on the first page of this Proxy


Proxy Page 16




Statement or by calling 1-800-525-2406. The Existing Fund will then promptly deliver a separate copy of the Proxy Statement to any stockholder residing at an address to which only one copy was mailed. Stockholders wishing to receive separate copies of the Company´s reports and proxy statements in the future, and stockholders sharing an address that wish to receive a single copy if they are receiving multiple copies should also direct requests as indicated.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT AND CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS

To the best knowledge of the Company, except as listed below, there were no Directors or officers of the Company or other stockholders who were the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Existing Fund on the Record Date. As of the Record Date, the Company knows of no other person (including any "group" as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that beneficially owns more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Existing Fund.

OTHER BUSINESS

The Board of Directors of the Company knows of no business to be brought before the meeting other than the matters set forth in this Proxy Statement. Should any other matter requiring a vote of the stockholders of the Existing Fund arise, however upon stockholder approval of the ability of the designated proxies to act on any other business as may properly come before the Special Meeting, the proxies will vote thereon according to their best judgment in the interests of the Existing Fund and the stockholders of the Existing Fund.
