Additional Information for Taxpayers

If you invested in a tax-exempt fund that paid exempt interest dividends during the 2009 tax year, we are required to provide you with Form 1099-INT along with Form 1099-DIV*.
*Form 1099-DIV is NOT provided for those distributions under $10.00.

Distributions of $10 or more must be reported on your tax returns, whether you received cash or reinvested additional fund shares.

The percentage of tax-exempt income from the Virtus California Tax Exempt Bond Fund subject to the federal alternative minimum tax is 14.19%.

The percentage of tax-exempt income from the Virtus Intermediate Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, the Virtus Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, and the Virtus Insight Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund subject to the federal alternative minimum tax is 0.0%.

Shareholders with incorrect or missing Social Security Numbers (also called Taxpayer Identification Numbers) will be subject to the IRS required 28% withholding from all distributions and redemptions. If your Social Security Number is incorrect or missing from your tax form(s), please complete Form W-9 and send it to Virtus Investment Partners.
