The Van Kampen Funds’ 12(b)-1 Plan is a reimbursement plan. This means that in the event that revenues collected under the Plan (distribution and service fees) exceed actual expenses under the Plan (compensation paid out to financial advisors), over a period of time, the amount of this excess is reimbursed back to the fund. This reimbursement results in lower 12(b)-1 fees for the fund, and in some cases may result in certain share classes having lower operating expenses than other share classes over a short period.
A fund passes any reimbursement on to shareholders the month it is received. If a fund receives a reimbursement one month and no reimbursement the following month the following monthly dividend will be adjusted downward to reflect the absence of the reimbursement.
Very small variances in dividend payout that are 12b-1 expense related have to do with the calculation of the per share allocation of expense. Assets Under Management (AUM) are a variable in this equation. As they fluctuate, the allocation of expense to the various share classes will shift slightly causing slight shifts in the dividend.
In light of this activity, management has approved distribution rate changes to the following Van Kampen Funds as outlined below. These new dividend rates were effective May 1, 2008, and are first payable on May 30, 2008. There is no assurance that this type of situation will continue in the future.
