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

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.
If you have suffered a net loss for all transactions in the
Funds during the Class Period, you may obtain additional
