Shareholders Approve the Merger of
Van Kampen Select Growth Fund
At a May 2, 2008 meeting, shareholders approved the merger of
Van Kampen Select Growth Fund into Van Kampen Equity Growth Fund.
Given the approved merger, Van Kampen Select Growth Fund, previously closed to new
investors, will close to all investors on June 5, 2008.* The reorganization is scheduled to
occur at the close of business on June 6, 2008.
Following the merger, the surviving fund (Van Kampen Equity Growth Fund) will maintain its
current objectives and strategy (as outlined in its prospectus) and its current performance history.
It’s important to note: The merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” under applicable tax
law. Therefore, shareholders of record on the merger date will not incur a tax liability as a result of the
transaction. However, shareholders who initiate a sale or exchange of their shares before the merger
may trigger a taxable event. Shareholders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding their
individual situations.
* Please note: all calling and mailing campaigns associated with the related proxy solicitation efforts have ended.
