Q.
|
What
is being proposed?
|
A.
|
Shareholders
are being asked to vote on two separate Proposals. Proposal 1
asks that Shareholders elect one Trustee as a member of the Board of
Trustees of the Trust. Proposal 2 asks that Shareholders
approve the new Investment Management Agreement between the Trust and
Citigroup Investment Advisory Services
LLC.
|
Q.
|
Who
is eligible to vote?
|
A.
|
Shareholders
of each of the Funds of record at the close of business on July 2, 2009,
are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting or at any
adjournment thereof. Shares of each Fund are entitled to one
vote each at the Special Meeting and fractional shares are entitled to
proportionate fractions of one vote. For Proposal 1, all Funds will vote
together whereas for Proposal 2, each Fund will vote separately to meet
the required vote.
|
A.
|
The
Board recommends that you vote “FOR” each of the Proposals. The
factors considered by the Board in recommending the new Investment
Management Agreement are discussed in more detail in the Proxy
Statement.
|
Q.
|
How
does the new Investment Management Agreement compare to the investment
management agreement entered into between the Trust and CIAS (“Previous
Investment Management Agreement”)?
|
A.
|
The
new Investment Management Agreement will be the same in all material terms
as the Previous Investment Management Agreement, except for the name of
the investment adviser, the effective date and term of the
agreement.
|
A.
|
The
new Investment Management Agreement will become effective upon
Shareholders’ approval.
|
Q.
|
What
happens if there are not enough votes to reach quorum by the scheduled
Special Meeting date or if the Proposals are not
approved?
|
A.
|
If
there are not sufficient votes to approve the Proposals by the time of the
Special Meeting, the Special Meeting may be adjourned to permit further
solicitation of proxy votes. In addition, to facilitate
receiving a sufficient number of votes, further action may need to be
taken. D.F. King & Co., Inc., a proxy solicitation firm,
may contact you by mail or telephone. Therefore, Shareholders are
encouraged to vote as soon as they receive the enclosed proxy materials to
avoid additional mailings or telephone
calls.
|
Q.
|
Who
is D.F. King & Co., Inc.?
|
A.
|
D.F.
King & Co., Inc. is a third party proxy vendor that MSSB hired to call
shareholders and record proxy votes. In order to hold a
shareholder meeting, quorum must be reached. If quorum is not attained,
the Special Meeting may adjourn to a future date. As the date
of the Special Meeting approaches, phone calls and additional mailings may
be made to Shareholders who have not yet voted their shares so that the
Special Meeting need not be adjourned. Voting your shares
immediately will help minimize additional solicitation expenses and
prevent the need to make a call to you to solicit your
vote.
|
Q.
|
How
can I vote my shares?
|
A.
|
You
can vote in any one of four ways:
|
·
|
Through
the Internet by following the instructions on the enclosed Proxy
Card(s);
|
·
|
By
telephone by calling the number on the enclosed Proxy
Card(s);
|
·
|
By
mail, by signing and retuning the enclosed Proxy Card(s) in the prepaid
envelope provided; and
|
·
|
In
person at the Special Meeting.
|
Q.
|
If
I vote my proxy now, can I change my vote
later?
|
A.
|
If
you vote your proxy now, you may revoke it at any time prior to its
exercise by executing a superseding Proxy Card or by submitting a notice
of revocation to the Secretary of the Trust. In addition, although mere
attendance at the Special Meeting will not revoke a proxy, if you attend
the Special Meeting you may withdraw your proxy and vote in
person.
|
Q.
|
What
is the required vote to approve the
Proposals?
|
A.
|
With
respect to Proposal 1, an affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares
present or represented by proxy for all Funds that compose the Trust
voting as a single class is required to elect the nominee for election as
Trustee. With respect to Proposal 2, an affirmative vote of “of a majority
of the outstanding voting securities” (as defined by the 1940 Act) of each
Fund will approve the new Investment Management Agreement. This means the
lesser of (1) 67% or more of the shares of a Fund present at the Special
Meeting if the owners of more than 50% of the shares then outstanding are
present in person or by proxy, or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding
shares of the a Fund entitled to vote at the Special
Meeting.
|
Q.
|
Whom
should I call for additional information about this Proxy
Statement?
|
A.
|
Please
call the proxy solicitor, D.F. King, at 1-800-628-8510 to obtain
additional information regarding the
Proposals.

The
Committee shall not approve non-audit services that the Committee believes
may taint the independence of the auditors. As of the date of the approval
of this Audit Committee Charter, permissible non-audit services include
any professional services (including tax services), that are not
prohibited services as described below, provided to the Trust by the
independent auditors, other than those provided to the Trust in connection
with an audit or a review of the financial statements of the Trust.
Permissible non-audit services may not include: (i) bookkeeping or
other services related to the accounting records or financial statements
of the Trust; (ii) financial information systems design and
implementation; (iii) appraisal or valuation services, fairness
opinions or contribution-in-kind reports; (iv) actuarial services;
(v) internal audit outsourcing services; (vi) management
functions or human resources; (vii) broker or dealer, investment
adviser or investment banking services; (viii) legal services and
expert services unrelated to the audit; and (ix) any other service
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation,
is impermissible.
|
|
Pre-approval
by the Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so
long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit
services provided to the Trust, the Adviser and any service providers
controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that
provide ongoing services to the Trust (“Covered Service Providers”)
constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to the
independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the permissible
non-audit services are provided by (a) the Trust, (b) the
Adviser and (c) any entity controlling, controlled by or under common
control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Trust
during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have
to be approved by the Committee; (ii) the permissible non-audit
services were not recognized by the Trust at the time of the engagement to
be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought
to the attention of the Committee and approved by the Committee (or its
delegate(s)) prior to the completion of the
audit.
