No class has yet been certified in the above action. Members of the Class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff. If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff no later than June 28, 2010 and be selected by the Court. The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement and how much of a settlement to accept for the Class in the action. The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in the Company during the Class Period. You are not required to have sold your shares to seek damages or to serve as a Lead Plaintiff. You may contact Brower Piven (through hoffman@browerpiven.com or 410/415-6616) to answer any questions you may have in that regard.

The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the Company's failure to disclose during the Class Period: (1) that the Funds' investments in poor-quality asset-backed securities ("ABS"), leveraged many times over by complex capital structures; (2) that, contrary to Defendants' representations that the securities held in the Funds were corporate bonds and preferred stocks, the Funds held concentrated holdings of low-priority tranches of ABS; and (3) that Defendants repeatedly and inappropriately compared the performance of the Funds to the Lehman Brothers Ba U.S. High-Yield Index, which contained only corporate bonds, wholly distinct from ABS held by the Funds. According to the complaint, Defendants' conduct has prompted regulatory enforcement actions or investigations by at least five state regulators, FINRA, and the SEC, and, on July 9, 2009, the SEC served Regions Financial Corp., Morgan Keegan's parent company, with a Wells Notice, which notified Regions that the SEC would commence an enforcement action.
