Automatic Investment Plan and Systematic Withdraw Plan:

Any automatic investment or systematic withdraw instructions you have set up with the Kelmoore Funds will carry over uninterrupted to your Dunham Fund account on the 25th of each month. If you had automatic investments into or systematic withdrawals from multiple Kelmoore Strategy® Funds, they will be combined into one investment or withdrawal from the Dunham Monthly Distribution Fund. For example, systematic withdrawals of $300 from the Kelmoore Strategy® Liberty Fund and $400 from the Kelmoore Strategy® Eagle Fund will be combined to one $700 systematic withdrawal from the Dunham Monthly Distribution Fund. Should you wish to change these amounts, please complete either a Non-Retirement Account Maintenance or IRA Distribution form.

Monthly Distributions:

The Dunham Monthly Distribution Fund seeks to pay monthly distributions to its shareholders at an annual rate equal to Prime, which is currently 5%, although this is not guaranteed. This distribution will occur on the last day of each month, payable on the first business day of the following month. If you want your systematic withdrawal or investment to coincide with the monthly distribution, please complete either an Non-Retirement Account Maintenance or IRA Distribution form and return to Shareholder Services.

Year-End Tax Reporting:

For your convenience, the 2008 tax information for the Kelmoore Funds (excluding the Kelmoore Strategy® Money Market Fund) and for the Dunham Monthly Distribution Fund will be reported on one combined 1099 which will be sent to you by January 31, 2009. The 2008 tax information for the Kelmoore Strategy Money Market Fund will be sent to you separately.
