                               2005 MARKET STREET
                             PHILADELPHIA, PA 19103

                     SUPPLEMENT TO COMBINED PROXY STATEMENT
                              DATED AUGUST 1, 2006

            PATRICK P. COYNE EXPECTED TO BE RECOMMENDED AS SUBSTITUTE
             NOMINEE FOR ELECTION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES

A Combined Proxy Statement dated July 10, 2006 (the "Proxy Statement") related
to the Joint Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting") of the
above-referenced Funds was mailed to each Fund's shareholders on or about July
12, 2006. The sole proposal to be presented to shareholders at the Meeting is
the election of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the "Board"). Subsequent to the
mailing of the proxy materials, Jude T. Driscoll, a Director/Trustee and one of
the nominees for election to the Board, resigned from the Board, effective
August 1, 2006. As a result, Mr. Driscoll has withdrawn from the election
described in the Proxy Statement.

At a regularly scheduled meeting on August 16, 2006, the Board's Nominating
Committee is expected to recommend substituting Patrick P. Coyne for Mr.
Driscoll as a nominee for election to the Board and, if Mr. Coyne is recommended
by the Nominating Committee, the Board is expected to recommend Mr. Coyne as a
substitute nominee for election to the Board. Mr. Coyne was elected President
and CEO of the Funds on August 1, 2006. He is also President and CEO of all of
the funds in the Delaware Investments(R) Family of Funds and President of
Delaware Investments, the parent company of the Funds' investment manager. Mr.
Coyne has worked at Delaware Investments for over 17 years.

As previously disclosed in the Proxy Statement, in the case of the withdrawal of
a nominee for election, the power given by shareholders in the Proxy Card may be
used by the persons named as proxies to vote for a substitute nominee or
nominees as recommended by the existing Board. Accordingly, if Mr. Coyne is
recommended by the Board as a substitute nominee, the named proxies are expected
to exercise their discretion to vote for Mr. Coyne at the Meeting.

If you have already voted your shares for the nominees listed in the proxy
materials, your votes will be cast as indicated with respect to all the nominees
except Mr. Driscoll. Votes received with respect to Mr. Driscoll will not be
counted. You may revoke your proxy at any time before the Meeting: (i) by
notifying Delaware Investments in writing at 2005 Market Street, Philadelphia,
PA 19103; (ii) by submitting a later signed Proxy Card; or (iii) by voting your
shares in person at the Meeting. You may request a new copy of the Proxy
Statement or Proxy Card by calling 1-800-523-1918. If your shares are held in
the name of your broker, you will have to make arrangements with your broker to
revoke any previous voting instructions.
