Class B shares The sub-section entitled "Class B" in each Fund's prospectus under the section entitled "HOW TO CHOOSE THE SHARE CLASS THAT BEST SUITS YOU" is revised to include the following information: A shareholder may not purchase Class B shares if the purchase would cause the shareholder's aggregate Class B share holdings in the Evergreen funds to exceed $250,000. Purchase orders that would cause a shareholder's account to exceed this amount in Class B shares will be treated as a purchase of Class A shares. In addition, Evergreen is not able to track a shareholder's purchases made through financial intermediaries and held in an omnibus account. It will be necessary for the financial intermediaries to track purchases of the Funds by their clients to ensure adherence to our policy. The computer systems of certain of the Funds' financial intermediaries currently do not have the ability to aggregate shares. Until these systems have been revised, this limitation will apply only to individual purchases rather than to aggregate holdings through those intermediaries. In addition, financial intermediaries may limit the maximum purchase or aggregate purchase amount of Class B shares by their customers to an amount less than $250,000. Purchases of Class B shares made through different financial intermediaries, such as through two different broker dealers, would not be able to be tracked and aggregated. In addition, the sub-section "Class B Shares" in each Fund's SAI under the section entitled "PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES" is revised to include the above policy. Class C shares The shareholder fees for Class C shares have been revised in the "Shareholder Fees" table under the section entitled "EXPENSES" of each Fund's prospectus as follows (in bold): Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment) - --------------------------------------------------- --------- Shareholder Transaction Expenses Class C - --------------------------------------------------- --------- - --------------------------------------------------- --------- Maximum sales charge imposed on purchases None (as a % of offering price) - --------------------------------------------------- --------- - --------------------------------------------------- --------- Maximum deferred sales charge (as a % of either the redemption amount or 1.00% initial investment, whichever is lower) - --------------------------------------------------- --------- The "Example of Fund Expenses" table for Class C shares is revised in each Fund's prospectus to include the new sales charges as follows: Example of Fund Expenses

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 revised as follows (in bold): Class C If you select Class C shares, you do not pay a front-end sales charge but 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. 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 amount of the maximum deferred sales charge depends on the length of time the shares are held, as shown below: - ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Time Held Maximum Deferred Sales Charge - ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- - ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Month of Purchase + First 12 Month Period 1.00% - ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- - ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Thereafter 0.00% - ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- - ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Dealer Allowance 1.00% - ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- The maximum deferred sales charge and dealer allowance may be reduced for certain investors. In addition, the sub-section "Class C Shares" in each Fund's SAI under the section entitled "PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES" is replaced in its entirety with the following: Class C Shares The Fund offers Class C shares at NAV without a front-end sales charge. 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 1.00% period following the month of purchase - -------------------------------------------- ----------- - -------------------------------------------- ----------- Thereafter 0.00% - -------------------------------------------- ----------- For a complete description of CDSC, including how the charge is calculated, see "Contingent Deferred Sales Charge" below. The sub-section "Commissions" in each Fund's SAI under the section entitled "SERVICE FEES AND COMMISSIONS PAID TO INVESTMENT FIRMS" is revised to reflect the following: EDI pays commissions to investment firms for sales of Class C shares of all of the Evergreen funds in the amount of 1.00% of shares sold at the time of purchase.
