The paragraph describing Class C shares under the section entitled "HOW TO CHOOSE THE SHARE CLASS THAT BEST SUITS YOU" in each Fund's prospectus is replaced with the following: Class C If you select Class C shares, you may pay a front-end sales charge of 1.00% and your shares are subject to 12b-1 fees. In addition, you may pay a deferred sales charge if you redeem your shares within one year after the month of purchase. Also, these shares do not convert to Class A shares and so the higher 12b-1 fees paid by the Class C shares continue for the life of the account. The front-end sales charge is deducted from your investment before it is invested. The amount of the maximum deferred sales charge depends on the length of time the shares are held, as shown below: Maximum Deferred Time Held Sales Charge Month of Purchase + First 12 Month Period 1.00% Thereafter 0.00% Dealer Allowance 2.00% The maximum deferred sales charge and dealer allowance may be reduced for certain investors. In addition, the section of each Fund's SAI entitled "PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES" is revised as follows: Class C Shares The Fund offers Class C shares at NAV with a front-end sales charge of 1.00%. In addition, the Fund may charge a CDSC on shares you redeem based on the following schedule: REDEMPTION TIME CDSC RATE Month of purchase and the first 12-month period following the month of purchase 1.00% Thereafter 0.00% January 2, 2003 564829 (1/03) -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
