Auction Rate Preferred Share Calculation

March 5, 2008

Over the past several days, the auction rate preferred share market has experienced a number of failed auctions across the industry. A number of Van Kampen closed-end funds (the “Funds”) that have outstanding series of auction preferred shares (“APS”) also have experienced failed auctions. These failed auctions are not defaults or credit events. There is no loss of capital and holders of APS continue to receive interest on their investment, currently at a pre-determined maximum rate. The Funds remain in compliance with all applicable asset coverage tests and the Funds continue to maintain the AAA/Aaa rating on their respective series of APS. Investors who purchase APS in future auctions should be aware of the possibility that a particular auction may fail and consequently investors may not be able to sell their shares on that auction date. The most current maximum applicable rates for the Funds' one week APS series are as indicated in the attached chart. Van Kampen continues to monitor developments in the auction market on a daily basis and is working with other market participants to find ways to restore liquidity to the APS market. Investors and potential investors are referred to further discussion on the closed-end section of the Van Kampen website.
