YOU UNDERSTAND<BR>AND VOTE ON THE PROPOSAL</FONT></B></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<FONT face=serif size=2>Below is
a brief overview of the proposal on which you are being asked to vote. Your vote
is important, no matter how large or small your holdings may be. Please read the
full text of the Proxy Statement, which contains additional information about
the proposal, and keep it for future reference. </FONT></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<FONT face=serif size=2>We
appreciate you placing your trust in Delaware Investments and we look forward to
continuing to help you achieve your financial goals.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><I><FONT face=serif size=2>On what proposal am I being asked to
vote?</FONT></I></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<FONT face=serif size=2>You are
being asked to vote on a proposal to approve a new investment advisory agreement
(the &#147;New Investment Advisory Agreement&#148;) between your Fund and Delaware
Management Company (&#147;DMC&#148;), the current investment adviser to your Fund.
</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><I><FONT face=serif size=2>Has the Board of Trustees/Directors
(the &#147;Board&#148;) approved the proposal?</FONT></I></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<FONT face=serif size=2>Yes.
After careful consideration, the Board of your Fund has unanimously approved the
proposal and recommends that you vote </FONT><B><FONT face=serif size=2>&#147;FOR&#148;</FONT></B><FONT face=serif size=2> the proposal.</FONT></P>
<P align=center><B><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>THE PROPOSAL: TO APPROVE A NEW
INVESTMENT<BR>ADVISORY AGREEMENT</FONT></B></P>
<P align=justify><I><FONT face=serif size=2>Why am I being asked to approve the
New Investment Advisory Agreement? </FONT></I></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<FONT face=serif size=2>Your Fund
is managed by DMC pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the &#147;Current
Investment Advisory Agreement&#148;). DMC&#146;s parent company has entered into an
agreement to sell Delaware Investments, which includes DMC. Due to the
requirements of certain Federal securities laws, your Fund&#146;s Current Investment
Advisory Agreement will terminate at the closing of the sale of Delaware
Investments. As a result, Fund shareholders are being asked to approve the New
Investment Advisory Agreement so that DMC may continue to serve as the
investment adviser for your Fund. </FONT></P>
<P align=justify><I><FONT face=serif size=2>When would the New Investment
Advisory Agreement with DMC take effect?</FONT></I></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<FONT face=serif size=2>If
approved by Fund shareholders, the New Investment Advisory Agreement would take
effect if and when the sale of Delaware Investments is completed.</FONT></P>

<P align=justify><I><FONT face=serif size=2>Who is acquiring Delaware
Investments?</FONT></I></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<FONT face=serif size=2>Macquarie
Bank Limited (or a subsidiary thereof) is acquiring Delaware Investments.
Macquarie Bank Limited is a subsidiary of Macquarie Group Limited, a global
provider of banking, financial, advisory, investment and fund management
services. Macquarie Group Limited is listed on the Australian Securities
Exchange and is regulated by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, the
Australian banking regulator. Macquarie Group Limited is acquiring Delaware
Investments as part of its strategy to develop a global asset management
capability through building a highly regarded team of investment professionals,
offering an attractive suite of investment products, and gaining broader access
to markets in the United States.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><I><FONT face=serif size=2>Will the investment advisory fees or
other fees change under the New Investment Advisory Agreement?</FONT></I></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<FONT face=serif size=2>No. There
will be no change to the contractual fee rate applicable to your Fund under the
New Investment Advisory Agreement. </FONT></P>
<P align=justify><I><FONT face=serif size=2>Will the New Investment Advisory
Agreement be similar to the Current Investment Advisory
Agreement?</FONT></I></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<FONT face=serif size=2>Yes. Your
Fund&#146;s New Investment Advisory Agreement will be substantially similar to its
Current Investment Advisory Agreement. The New Investment Advisory Agreement
requires DMC to provide the same services to your Fund as it does under the
Current Investment Advisory Agreement. </FONT></P>
<P align=justify><I><FONT face=serif size=2>How will the sale of Delaware
Investments affect Fund shareholders?</FONT></I></P>
<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<FONT face=serif size=2>The sale
of Delaware Investments is not expected to have a significant effect on Fund
shareholders. The sale is not currently expected to result in a change in the
individuals responsible for the day-to-day management of your Fund or in the
operation of your Fund. After the closing of the sale, Delaware Investments will
remain headquartered in Philadelphia, will continue to operate in substantially
the same manner as at present, and is expected to provide the same services to
your Fund as it currently does. Certain other companies in Delaware Investments
that provide services to your Fund are also being acquired by Macquarie Group
Limited, and those service providers are also expected to continue to provide
the same services to your Fund as are currently provided.</FONT></P>

the New Investment Advisory Agreement, DMC will remain the investment adviser
for your Fund and the team of portfolio managers managing your Fund is not
currently expected to change as a result of the sale.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><I><FONT face=serif size=2>Has my Fund&#146;s Board concluded that
approving the New Investment Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the
Fund and its shareholders?</FONT></I></P>
