 today issued the following statement:
The Funds have received information from Citigroup Asset Management
("CAM") concerning Smith Barney Fund Management LLC ("SBFM") and
Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc ("SBAM"), investment advisory
companies that are a part of CAM. The Funds receive investment
advisory and administrative services from SBAM or SBFM, as the case
may be. The information received from CAM is as follows:
On September 16, 2005, the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") informed SBFM and SBAM that the staff
is considering recommending that the Commission institute
administrative proceedings against SBFM and SBAM for alleged
violations of Section 19(a) and 34(b) of the Investment Company
Act (and related Rule 19a-1). The notification is a result of an
industry wide inspection by the Commission and is based upon
alleged deficiencies in disclosures regarding dividends and
distributions paid to shareholders of certain funds. In connection
with the contemplated proceedings, the staff may seek a cease and
desist order and/or monetary damages from SBFM or SBAM.
SBFM and SBAM are cooperating with the Commission. Although there
can be no assurance, SBFM and SBAM believe that these matters are
not likely to have a material adverse effect on the funds or their
ability to perform their respective investment advisory services
relating to the funds.
The Commission staff's recent notification will not affect the sale
by Citigroup Inc. of substantially all of CAM's worldwide business
to Legg Mason, Inc., which Citigroup continues to expect will occur
in the fourth quarter of this year.
