-$0.18 per share The above-listed funds are not expected to pay any
short-term capital gain distributions for 2007. The funds are
expected to pay capital gain distributions on January 25, 2008 to
shareholders of record as of December 26, 2007, with an ex-dividend
date of December 21, 2007. For updates on this and other fund
information, please visit the Cohen & Steers Web site at
cohenandsteers.com. The projections identified above represent
estimates and are subject to change based on portfolio and market
activity and tax adjustments. The statement that certain funds are
not expected to pay any short-term capital gain distribution for
2007 is also a forecast and is subject to change. Actual capital
gain distributions will appear on shareholders' 1099-DIV forms,
which will be mailed in early 2008. Shareholders should keep in
mind that some broker-dealers may distribute information on fund
capital gain distributions based on preliminary data and
subsequently distribute revised reports after the fund calculates
final distribution amounts for the 2007 tax year. Shareholders
should also remember that the net asset value of a fund with a
capital gain distribution will decline on the "ex-dividend" date to
reflect the adjusted net asset value of the fund after the
distribution, in addition to any effect the market's performance
had on the securities within the fund's portfolio on that day. This
information reflects distribution activities at the fund level
only. Certain of the funds will own securities issued by REITs. A
portion of the dividends paid by REITs may be recharacterized for
tax purposes following year-end as capital gain and/or return of
capital. To the extent this occurs, distributions paid by the fund
during the year also will be reclassified to reflect these REIT
recharacterizations. Therefore, the composition of a fund's
distributions during a year may change substantially by year-end.
If these changes occur, they may reduce the net investment income
component of fund distributions and increase the capital gain
and/or return of capital components. You can find more information
regarding the tax character of fund distributions by visiting the
Cohen & Steers Web site at cohenandsteers.com. Shareholders
will receive notification in a Form 1099-DIV of the exact
composition of all distributions for the year and the related tax
treatment. Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Cohen & Steers, Inc., a publicly traded
company whose common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange
under the symbol "CNS." DATASOURCE: Cohen & Steers Capital
