Certain Plan changes are summarized below.

"Opt-Out" Feature

OIA, IIM, IQI, VKI, VBF, VCV, VMO, VKQ, VPV, VGM, VTN and VVR are amending their Plans to adopt "Opt-Out" plans.  VTA and VLT already have "Opt-Out" plans.  Under an "Opt-Out" plan, new shareholders in a Fund will be automatically enrolled in the Plan unless otherwise designated by the shareholder when the shares are purchased.  If at any time a shareholder does not want to participate in the Plan and would like to receive dividends and capital gains distributions ("Distributions") in cash, such shareholder may contact Invesco to withdraw from the Plan.  Shareholders of all Funds that are not currently enrolled in the Plan will continue to receive cash Distributions. 

Share Purchase Price for Participants

OIA, IIM, IQI, VLT and VVR are amending their Plans to provide for the purchase of shares at a reduced price when the Fund's common shares are trading at a premium.  Distributions will be promptly reinvested for Plan participants.  If a Fund's common shares are trading at a share price that is equal to its net asset value ("NAV"), participants will pay that amount for their reinvested shares.  If a Fund's common shares are trading at a premium (a market price that is higher than its NAV), participants will pay either the NAV or 95 percent of the market price, whichever is greater.  If a Fund's common shares are trading at a discount (a market price that is lower than its NAV), participants will pay the market price for their reinvested shares.  VKI, VBF, VCV, VTA, VKQ, VMO, VPV, VGM and VTN already offer this feature. 

Service Fee for Share Sales

OIA, IIM and IQI are amending their Plans to implement a service fee for share sales.  If a participant withdraws from the Plan and opts to sell their common shares through Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the "Agent"), the Agent will sell all full and fractional shares and send the proceeds to such participant after deducting a $2.50 service fee and per share fees.  Per share fees include any applicable brokerage commissions the Agent is required to pay.  VKI, VBF, VCV, VTA, VLT, VKQ, VMO, VPV, VVR, VGM and VTN already impose such service fees.

Small Account Termination

Each Fund is amending its Plan to provide that a Fund may cause the Agent to terminate Plan accounts holding less than a designated number of shares, upon notice to such participants, in which case the Agent will arrange for the sale of such shares and send such participants the proceeds, less applicable fees.

Governing Law

OIA, IIM, IQI, VKI, VBF, VCV, VLT, VMO, VKQ, VPV, VGM, VTN and VVR are amending their Plans to provide that the terms and conditions of the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the state of Delaware.  VTA's Plan will continue to be governed by the laws of the state of Delaware. 

The full version of the Plan will be available on invesco.com/us.
