The joint special meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting") of Van Kampen
Advantage Municipal Income Trust and Van Kampen Municipal Opportunity Trust
(each, a "Fund"), was held on September 23, 2005 and has been adjourned to

The purpose of the Meeting is to seek shareholder approval for the
reorganization of Van Kampen Advantage Municipal Income Trust into Van Kampen

shares, as applicable.
