Summary

T. Rowe Price Institutional Africa & Middle East Fund

Investment Objective

The fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in the common stocks of companies located ( or with primary operations ) in Africa and the Middle East.

Fees and Expenses

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the fund.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

Shareholder fees (fees paid directly from your investment)
Redemption fee (on shares held for 90 days or less)	2.00 %
Annual fund operating expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
Management fee	1.00 %
Other expenses	0. 6 8 %
Total annual fund operating expenses	1. 6 8 %

Example This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and the fund`s operating expenses remain the same . Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be :

1 year	3 years	5 years	10 years
$ 171	$ 530	$ 913	$ 1,987

Portfolio Turnover The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund`s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund`s portfolio turnover rate was 121.7% of the average value of its portfolio.

Investments, Risks, and Performance

Principal Investment Strategies The fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net assets in African and Middle East ern companies. The fund may purchase the stocks of companies of any size. The fund expects to make substantially all of its investments in common stocks, and participation notes ("P-notes") linked to common stocks, of companies located (or with primary operations) in the countries listed below, as well as others as their markets develop:

Primary Emphasis: Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and United Arab Emirates.

Others: Algeria, Botswana, Ghana, Mauritius, Namibia, Tunisia, and Zimbabwe.

The fund is "nondiversified," meaning it may invest a greater portion of assets in a single company and own more of the company`s voting securities than is permissible for a "diversified" fund. The fund`s portfolio is expected to be composed of investments in about 25 to 50 different companies, although the number could vary depending on market condi tions. The fund may make substantial investments (at times more than 25% of total assets) in telephone or banking companies in various African and Middle Eastern countries.

While the fund invests with an awareness of the outlook for industry sectors and individual countries within the region, bottom-up stock selection is the focus of our decision-making. Country allocation is driven largely by stock selection, though we may limit investments in markets that appear to have poor overall prospects.

Security selection reflects a growth style. The fund relies on a global team of investment analysts dedicated to in-depth fundamental research in an effort to identify companies capable of achieving and sustaining above-average, long-term earnings growth. We seek to purchase stocks of such companies at reasonable prices in relation to present or antici pated earnings, cash flow, or book valu e .

In selecting investments , the fund generally favors companies with one or more of the following characteristics:

leading or improving market position;

attractive business niche;

attractive or improving franchise or industry position ;

seasoned management;

stable or improving earnings and /or cash flow ; and

sound or improving balance sheet .

While the fund invests primarily in common stocks, and P-notes linked to common stocks, it may also use futures and options in keeping with its objective.

The fund may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into more promising opportunities.

Principal Risks As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the fund will achieve its objective. The fund`s share price fluctuates, which means you could lose money by investing in the fund. The principal risks of investing in this fund are summarized as follows:

Risks of stock investing Stocks generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and may decline significantly over short time periods. There is the chance that stock prices overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and falling prices. The value of a stock in which the fund invests may decline due to gen eral weakness in the stock market or because of factors that affect a company or a particular industry.

Active management risk The fund is subject to the risk that the investment adviser ` s judgments about the attractive ness, value, or potential appreciation of the fund ` s investments may prove to be incorrect. If the securities selected and strategies employed by the fund fail to produce the intended results, the fund could underperform other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies.

Foreign investing risk Investing in the securities of non-U.S. companies involves special risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. Foreign securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities, and may lose value because of adverse political, social or economic developments overseas or due to changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. In addition, foreign investments are subject to set tlement practices, and regulatory and financial reporting standards, that differ from those of the U.S.

Emerging market s risk The risks of foreign investing are heightened for securities of companies in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries tend to have economic structures that are less diverse and mature, and political systems that are less stable, than those of developed countries. In addition to all of the risks of investing in foreign developed markets, emerging market securities are susceptible to illiquid trading markets, governmental interference, and restrictions on gaining access to sales proceeds.

Credit and liquidity risk s To the extent the fund invests in P-notes, it is subject to certain risks in addition to the risks normally associated with a direct investment in the underlying foreign securities the P-note seeks to replicate. As the purchaser of a P-note, the fund is relying on the creditworthiness of the counterparty issuing the P-note and does not have the same rights under a P-note as it would as a shareholder of the underlying issuer. Therefore, if a counterparty

PAGE 7

becomes insolvent, the fund could lose the total value of its investment in the P-note. In addition, there is no assurance that there will be a trading market for a P-note or that the trading price of a P-note will equal the value of the underly ing security.

Geographic concentration risk Because the fund concentrates its investments in a particula r geographic region, the fund`s performance is closely tied to the social, political, and economic conditions within that region . As a result, the fund is likely to be more volatile than more geographically diverse international funds.

Nondiversification risk As a nondiversified fund, the fund has the ability to invest a larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, poor performance by a single large holding of the fund c ould adversely affect fund performance more than if the fund were invested in a larger number of compa nies. The fund`s share price can be expected to fluctuate more than that of a comparable diversified fund.

Investment style risk Different investment styles tend to shift in and out of favor, depending on market conditions and investor sentiment. The fund`s growth approach to investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that employ a different investment style . Growth stocks tend to be more volatile than value stocks and their prices usually fluctuate more dramatically than the overall stock market. A stock with growth characteristics can have sharp price declines due to decreases in current or expected earnings and may lack dividends that can help cushion its share price in a declining market.

Derivatives risk To the extent the fund uses futures and options, it is exposed to additional volatility and potential losses.

Performance The bar chart showing calendar year returns and the average annual total return s table indicate risk by illustrating how much returns can differ from one year to the next and how fund performance compares with that of a comparable market index. The fund`s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of future performance .

The fund can also experience short-term performance swings, as shown by the best and worst calendar quarter returns during the years depicted.

In addition, the average annual total return s table shows hypothetical after-tax returns to suggest how taxes paid by a shareholder may influence returns. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal mar ginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an inves tor`s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as a 401(k) account or individual retirement account (IRA).

The fund`s return for the s ix months ended 6/30/10 was 2.14 %.

Summary

T. Rowe Price Institutional Concentrated International Equity Fund

Investment Objective

The fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments in stocks of non-U.S. companies.

Fees and Expenses

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the fund.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

Shareholder fees (fees paid directly from your investment)
Redemption fee (on shares held for 90 days or less)	2.00 %
Annual fund operating expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
Management fee	0.65 %
Other expenses	0.40 % a
Total annual fund operating expenses	1.05 %
Fee waiver/expense reimbursement	0.30 % b
Total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver/expense reimbursement	0.75 % b

a Other expenses are estimated.

b To limit the fund`s expenses during its initial period of operations, T. Rowe Price International, Inc. agreed (through February 28, 2013) to waive its fees and/or bear any expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage, and extraordinary expenses) that would cause the fund`s ratio of expenses to average net assets to exceed 0.75%. Termination of this agreement would require approval by the fund`s Board of Directors. Fees waived and expenses paid under this agreement are subject to reimbursement to T. Rowe Price International, Inc. by the fund whenever the fund`s expense ratio is below 0.75%. However, no reimbursement will be made more than three years after the waiver or payment, or if it would result in the expense ratio exceeding 0.75%.

Example This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year , the fund`s operating expenses remain the same, and the expense limitation currently in place is not renewed . Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be :

1 year	3 years
$ 77	$ 253

Portfolio Turnover The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund`s performance. The fund`s portfolio turnover rate for the initial period of operations may exceed 100%.

Investments, Risks, and Performance

Principal Investment Strategies The fund expects to invest substantially all of its assets in stocks of companies located outside the U.S. Under normal conditions, the fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in stocks of non-U.S. com panies and no more than 15% of its net assets will be invested i n stocks of compa nies in emerging markets.

The fund intends to invest in a relatively small number of holdings . Its portfolio is expected to be composed of invest ments in about 40 to 60 different stocks , although the number could vary depending on market conditions. The fund is "nondiversified," meaning it may invest a greater portion of assets in a single company and own more of the company`s voting securities than is permissible for a "diversified" fund.

While the fund invests with an awareness of the global economic backdrop and the outlook for industry sectors and individual countries, bottom-up stock selection is the focus of our decision-making. Country allocation is driven largely by stock selection, though we may limit investments in markets that appear to have poor overall prospects.

The fund may purchase the stocks of companies of any size and does not emphasize either a growth or value bias in se lecting investments. Securities will be selected that in the investment adviser`s view have the most favorable combination of company fundamentals, earnings potential, and relative val uation.

While the fund invests primarily in common stocks, it may also use futures and options in keeping with its objective.

The fund may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into more promising opportunities.

Derivatives risk To the extent the fund uses futures and options, it is exposed to additional volatility and potential losses.

Performance Because the fund commenced operations in 2010, there is no historical performance information shown here. Performance history will be presented after the fund has been in operation for one full calendar year.

Investments, Risks, and Performance

Principal Investment Strategies The fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net assets in stocks of large-cap com panies. Under normal conditions, the fund will invest in at least five countries and at least 40% of its net assets will be invested in large-cap companies outside the U.S. (at least 30% of its net assets will be invested in large-cap companies outside the U.S. if foreign market conditions are not favorable).

The fund defines a large-cap company as one whose market capitalization (number of shares outstanding multiplied by share price) falls within or above the applicable range for companies included in the MSCI All Country World Large- Cap Index. The fund`s and MSCI Barra`s definition of a large-cap company depends on whether the company is located in a developed market or an emerging market. As of December 31, 2009, the Index`s market capitalization range for large-cap companies in developed markets was approximately $3.1 billion to $323.7 billion, and the market capitaliza tion range for large-cap companies in emerging markets was approximately $2.2 billion to $353.1 billion. The fund also relies on MSCI Barra to classify a particular country as developed or emerging. The market capitalization of the compa nies in the fund`s portfolio and the Index changes over time; the fund will not automatically sell or cease to purchase stock of a company it already owns just because the company`s market capitalization falls below the range of the Index.

In selecting investments , the fund generally favors companies with one or more of the following characteristics:

leading or improving market position;

attractive business niche;

attractive or improving franchise or industry position ;

seasoned management;

stable or improving earnings and /or cash flow ; and

Derivatives risk To the extent the fund uses futures and options, it is exposed to additional volatility and potential losses.

The fund can also experience short-term performance swings, as shown by the best and worst calendar quarter returns during the years depicted.

T. Rowe Price Institutional International Core Equity Fund

Investment Objective

The fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments in the common stocks of non-U.S. companies.

Fees and Expenses

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the fund.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

Shareholder fees (fees paid directly from your investment)
Redemption fee (on shares held for 90 days or less)	2.00 %
Annual fund operating expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
Management fee	0.65 %
Other expenses	TBD% a
Total annual fund operating expenses	TBD %
Fee waiver/expense reimbursement	TBD% b
Total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver/expense reimbursement	0.75 % b

a Other expenses are estimated.

Example This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, the fund`s operating expenses remain the same, and the expense limitation currently in place is not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 year	3 years
$ TBD	$ TBD

Portfolio Turnover The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund`s performance. The fund`s portfolio turnover rate for the initial period of operations may exceed 100%.

Investments, Risks, and Performance

Principal Investment Strategies The fund expects to invest substantially all of its assets outside the U.S. and to diversify broadly among developed and, to a lesser extent, emerging countries throughout the world. The fund will invest prima rily (at least 65% of total assets) in the stocks of large companies that have attractive prospects for capital appreciation. Normally, at least 80% of the fund`s net assets will be invested in non-U.S. stocks.

The fund takes a core approach to investing, which provides some exposure to both growth and value styles of invest ing. The fund relies on a global research team to search for particularly promising stocks throughout developed and, to a lesser extent, emerging markets. Securities will be selected that in our view have the most favorable combination of company fundamentals, earnings potential, and valuation.

PAGE 23

In selecting investments, the fund generally favors companies with one or more of the following characteristics:

attractive business niche with potential for earnings growth;

attractive valuation relative to the company`s peers or its own historical norm;

technological leadership or proprietary advantages;

seasoned management;

healthy balance sheet; and

potential to grow dividends or conduct share repurchases.

While the fund invests primarily in common stocks, it may also use futures and options in keeping with its objective.

The fund may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into more promising opportunities.

Active management risk The fund is subject to the risk that the investment adviser`s judgments about the attractive ness, value, or potential appreciation of the fund`s investments may prove to be incorrect. If the securities selected and strategies employed by the fund fail to produce the intended results, the fund could underperform other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies.

Investment style risk Different investment styles tend to shift in and out of favor, depending on market conditions and investor sentiment. Because the fund holds stocks with both growth and value characteristics, it could underperform other stock funds that take a strictly growth or value approach to investing when one style is currently in favor. Growth stocks tend to be more volatile than the overall stock market and can have sharp price declines as a result of earnings disappointments. Value stocks carry the risk that the market will not recognize their intrinsic value or that they are actually appropriately priced at a low level.

Derivatives risk To the extent the fund uses futures and options, it is exposed to additional volatility and potential losses.

Information About Accounts in T. Rowe Price

Funds 2

As a T. Rowe Price shareholder, you will want to know about the following policies and procedures that apply to all institutional funds in the T. Rowe Price family of funds.

Pricing Shares and Receiving Sale Proceeds

How and W hen S hares A re P riced

The share price (also called "net asset value" or NAV ) for all fund s is calculated at the close of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4 p.m. ET, each day that the e xchange is open for business. To calculate the NAV, the fund`s assets are valued and totaled, liabilities are subtracted, and the balance, called net assets, is divided by the number of shares outstanding. Market values are used to price stocks and bonds . Market values represent the prices at which securities actually trade or evaluations based on the judgment of the fund`s pricing services. If a market value for a security is not available, the fund will make a good faith effort to assign a fair value to the security by taking into account factors that have been approved by the fund`s Board of Directors . This value may differ from the value the fund receives upon sale of the securities. Amortized cost is used to price securities held by money funds and certain other debt securities held by a fund. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the closing NAV per share of the mutual fund on the day of valu ation.

Non-U.S. equity securities are valued on the basis of the ir most recent closing market prices at 4 p.m. ET except under the circumstances described below . Most foreign markets close before 4 p.m . ET . For securities primarily traded in the Far East, for example, the most recent closing prices may be as much as 15 hours old at 4 p.m . ET . If a fund determines that developments between the close of a foreign market and 4 p.m. ET will, in its judgment, materially affect the value of some or all of the fund`s securities, the fund will adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities as of 4 p.m. ET. In deciding whether to make these adjustments, the fund reviews a variety of factors, including developments in foreign markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets , and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign securities and baskets of foreign securities . The fund may also fair value securities in other situations, for example, when a particular foreign market is closed but the fund is open. The fund uses outside pricing services to provide it with closing market prices and information used for adjusting those prices. The fund cannot predict how often it will use closing prices and how often it will adjust those prices. As a means of evaluating its fair value process, the fund routinely compares closing market prices, the next day`s opening prices in the same markets, and adjusted prices. Other mutual funds may adjust the prices of their securities by different amounts.

The various ways you can buy, sell, and exchange shares are explained at the end of this prospectus and on the New Account Form.

How Y our P urchase, S ale, or E xchange P rice I s D etermined

If we receive your request in correct form by 4 p.m. ET, your transaction will be priced at that business day`s NAV. If we receive it after 4 p.m. ET , it will be priced at the next business day`s NAV.

The funds generally do not accept orders that request a particular day or price for a transaction or any other special conditions.

Fund shares may be purchased through various third-party intermediaries including banks, brokers, and investment advisers. Where authorized by a fund, orders will be priced at the NAV next computed after receipt by the intermedi ary. Contact your intermediary for trade deadlines and the applicable policies for purchasing, selling, or exchanging your shares, as well as initial and subsequent investment minimums . The intermediary may charge a fee for its services.

When authorized by the fund, certain financial institutions or retirement plans purchasing fund shares on behalf of customers or plan participants through Financial Institution Services or Retirement Plan Services may place a purchase order unaccompanied by payment . Payment for these shares must be received by the time designated by the fund (not

to exceed the period established for settlement under applicable regulations). If payment is not received by this time, the order may be canceled. The financial institution or retirement plan is responsible for any costs or losses incurred by the fund or T. Rowe Price if payment is delayed or not received.

Note: The time at which transactions and shares are priced and the time until which orders are accepted may be changed in case of an emergency or if the New York Stock Exchange closes at a time other than 4 p.m. ET. There may be times when you are unable to contact us by telephone or access your account online due to extreme market activity, the unavailability of the T. Rowe Price We b site , or other circumstances. Should this occur, your order must still be placed and accepted prior to the time the New York Stock Exchange closes to be priced at that business day`s NAV .

How Y ou C an R eceive the P roceeds F rom a S ale

When filling out the New Account Form, you may wish to give your organization the widest range of options for receiving proceeds from a sale.

If your request is received by 4 p.m. ET (on a business day) in correct form, proceeds are usually sent on the next busi ness day. Proceeds can be sent to you by mail or to your bank account by Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfer or bank wire. ACH is an automated method of initiating payments from, and receiving payments in, your financial institution account. Proceeds sent by ACH transfer are usually credited the second business day after the sale. Proceeds sent by bank wire should be credited to your account the first business day after the sale.

Exception: Under certain circumstances and when deemed to be in a fund`s best interest, your proceeds may not be sent for up to seven calendar days after we receive your redemption request.

If for some reason we cannot accept your request to sell shares, we will contact you.

Contingent Redemption Fee

Short-term trading can disrupt a fund`s investment program and create additional costs for long-term shareholders. For these reasons, certain T. Rowe Price funds, listed in the following table , assess a fee on redemptions (including exchanges) , which reduces the proceeds from such redemptions by the amounts indicated:

<R>

T. Rowe Price Institutional Funds With Redemption Fees
Fund	Redemption fee	Holding period
Institutional Africa & Middle East	2%	90 days or less
Institutional Concentrated International Equity	2%	90 days or less
Institutional Emerging Markets Bond	2%	90 days or less
In stituti onal Emerging Markets Equity	2%	90 days or less
In stitutiona l Floating Rate	1%	90 days or less
In stitutional Global Equity	2%	9 0 days or less
Institutional Global Large-Cap Equity	2 %	90 days or less
Institutional High Yield	1%	90 days or less
In stitutional International Bond	2%	9 0 days or less
Institutional International Core Equity	2%	90 days or less
In stitutional International Growth Equity	2%	90 days or less

</R>

Redemption fees are paid to a fund to deter short-term trading, offset costs, and protect the fund`s long-term sharehold ers. Subject to the exceptions described on the following pages, a ll persons holding shares of a T. Rowe Price fund that imposes a redemption fee are subject to the fee , whether the person is holding shares directly with a T. R owe Price fund, through a retirement plan for which T. Rowe Price serves as recordkeeper, or indirectly through an intermediary, such as a broker, bank, investment adviser, recordkeeper for retirement plan participants, or any other third party .

Computation of H olding P eriod

When an investor sells shares of a fund that assesses a redemption fee, T. Rowe Price will use the "first - i n, first - out" (FIFO) method to determine the holding period for the shares sold. Under this method, the date of redemption or exchange will be compared with the earliest purchase date of shares held in the account. A redemption fee will be charged on shares sold on or before the end of the required holding period. The day after the date of your purchase is

PAGE 31

considered Day 1 for purposes of computing the holding period. For example, if you redeem your shares on or before the 90th day from the date of purchase, you will be assessed the redemption fee. If you purchase shares through an intermediary, consult your intermediary to determine how the holding period will be applied.

Transactions N ot S ubject to R edemption F ees

The T. Rowe Price funds will not assess a redemption fee with respect to certain transactions. As of the date of this pro spectus , the following shares of T. Rowe Price funds will not be subject to redemption fees:

1. Shares redeemed via a n automated , systematic withdrawal plan ;

2. Shares redeemed through or used to establish certain rebalancing or asset allocation program s or fund-of- funds products , if approved in writing by T. Rowe Price;

3. Shares purchased by the reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions; *

4. Shares converted from one share class to another share class of the same fund; *

5 . Shares redeemed by a fund ( e.g. , for failure to meet account minimums or to cover various fees , such as fiduciary fees) ;

6 . Shares purchased by rollover and changes of account registration within the same fund; *

7 . Shares redeemed to return an excess contribution in an IRA account;

8 . Shares of T. Rowe Price f unds purchased by certain other T. Rowe Price f unds or accounts managed by T. Rowe Price (please note that other shareholders of the T. Rowe Price f und are still subject to the policy) ;

9 . Shares transferred to T. Rowe Price or a third - party intermediary acting as a service provider when the age of the shares cannot be determined systematically ; * and

1 0 . Shares redeemed in retirement plans or other products that restrict trading to no more frequently than once per quarter , if approved in writing by T. Rowe Price.

* Subsequent exchanges of these shares into funds that assess redemption fees will subject such shares to the fee.

Redemption F ees on S hares H eld in R etirement P lans

If shares are held in a retirement plan, redemption fees will generally be assessed on shares redeemed by exchange only if they were originally purchased by exchange. However, redemption fees may apply to transactions other than exchanges depending on how shares of the plan are held at T. Rowe Price or how the fees are applied by your plan`s recordkeeper. To determine which of your transactions are subject to redemption fees, you should contact T. Rowe Price or your plan recordkeeper.

Omnibus A ccounts

If your shares are held through an intermediary in an omnibus account, T. Rowe Price relies on the intermediary to assess the redemption fee on underlying shareholder accounts. T. Rowe Price seeks to identify intermediaries establishing omnibus accounts and to enter into agreements requiring the intermediary to assess the redemption fees. There are no assurances that T. Rowe Price will be successful in identifying all intermediaries or that the intermediaries will properly assess the fees.

Certain intermediaries may not apply the exemptions previously lis ted to the redemption fee policy; all redemptions by persons trading through such intermediaries may be subject to the fee. Certain intermediaries may exempt transactions not listed fr om redemption fees, if approved by T. Rowe Price. Persons redeeming shares th r ough an intermediary should check with the ir respective intermediary to determine which transactions are subject to the fees.

Useful Information on Distributions and Taxes

To the extent possible, a ll net investment income and realized capital gains are distributed to shareholders.

Dividends and Other Distributions

Dividend and capital gain distributions are reinvested in additional fund shares in your account unless you select another option on your New Account Form. Reinvesting distributions results in compounding, that is, receiving income dividends and capital gain distributions on a rising number of shares .

Distributions not reinvested are paid by check or transmitted to your bank account via ACH. If the U.S. Post Office cannot deliver your check, or if your check remains uncashed for six months, the fund reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check in your account at the NAV on the day of the reinvestment and to reinvest all subsequent dis tributions in shares of the fund. I nterest will not accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution s or redemp tion checks.

The following table provides details on dividend payments :

Dividend Payment Schedule

Fund	Dividends
Bond funds	Shares normally begin to earn dividends on the busi ness day after payment is received by T. Rowe Price .
	Declared daily and p aid on the first business day of each month.
Stock funds	Must be a shareholder on the dividend record date .
	Declared and paid annually, if any, generally in December .

Bond fund shares will earn dividends through the date of redemption . S hares redeemed on a Friday or prior to a holi day will continue to earn dividends until the next business day. Generally, if you redeem all of your bond fund shares at any time during the month, you will also receive all dividends earned through the date of redemption in the same check. When you redeem only a portion of your bond fund shares, all dividends accrued on those shares will be rein vested, or paid in cash, on the next dividend payment date.

If you purchase and sell your shares through an intermediary, consult your intermediary to determine when your shares begin and stop accruing dividends; the information previously described may vary.

Capital G ain P ayment s

A capital gain or loss is the difference between the purchase and sale price
of a security.

If a fund has net capital gains for the year (after subtracting any capital losses), they are usually declared and paid in December to shareholders of record on a specified date that month. If a second distribution is necessary, it is paid the following year.

Tax Information

You will be sent information for your tax filing needs in January .

If you invest in the fund through a tax-deferred account , such as an IRA , you will not be subject to tax on dividends and distributions from the fund or the sale of fund shares if those amounts remain in the tax-deferred account. You may receive a Form 1099-R or other IRS forms, as applicable, if a ny portion of the account is distributed to you.

If you invest in the fund through a taxable account, y ou will generally be subject to tax when:

You sell fund shares, including an exchange from one fund to another.

The fund makes a distribution to your account.

For individual shareholders, a portion of ordinary dividends representing " qualified dividend income " received by the fund may be subject to tax at the lower rate applicable to long-term capital gains, rather than ordinary income. You may report it as " qualif ied dividend income" in computing your taxes provided you have held the fund shares on which the dividend was paid for more than 60 days during the 12 1 -day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date. Ordinary dividends that do not qualify for this lower rate are generally taxable at the investor`s marginal income tax

PAGE 33

rate. This includes the portion of ordinary dividends derived from interest, short-term capital gains, distributions from nonqualified foreign corporations, and dividends received by the fund from stocks that were on loan. Little, if any, of the ordinary dividends paid by the bond fund s is expected to qualify for this lower rate.

For corporate shareholders, a portion of ordinary dividends may be eligible for the 70% deduction for dividends received by corporations to the extent the fund`s income consists of dividends paid by U.S. corporations. Little, if any, of the ordinary dividends paid by the bond funds is expected to qualify for this deduction.

Taxes on F und R edemptions

When you sell shares in any fund, you may realize a gain or loss. An exchange from one fund to another is also a sale for tax purposes.

In January, if applicable, you will be sent Form 1099-B indicating the date and amount of each sale you made in the fund during the prior year. This information will also be reported to the IRS. For most new accounts or those opened by exchange in 1984 or later, we will provide you with the gain or loss on the shares you sold during the year based on the average cost single category method. This information is not reported to the IRS, and you do not have to use it. You may calculate the cost basis using other methods acceptable to the IRS, such as specific identification.

To help you maintain accurate records, we will send you a confirmation p romptly following each transaction you make and a year-end statement detailing all of your transactions in each fund account during the year.

Taxes on F und D istributions

In January, if applicable, you will be sent a Form 1099-DIV , Form 1099-INT, or other IR S f orms, as required, indicat ing the tax status of any income dividend s , dividends exempt from federal income taxes, and capital gain distributions made to you. This information will b e reported to the IRS. Taxable d istributions are generally taxable to you in the year in which they are paid. Your bond fund dividends for each calendar year will include dividends accrued up to the first business day of the next calendar year. You will be sent any additional information you need to determine your taxes on fund distributions, such as the portion of your dividends, if any, that may be exempt from state and local income taxes.

The tax treatment of a capital gain distribution is determined by how long the fund held the portfolio securities, not how long you held the shares in the fund. Short-term (one year or less) capital gain distributions are taxable at the same rate as ordinary income , and gains on securities held more than one year are taxed at the lower rates applicable to long- term capital gains . If you realized a loss on the sale or exchange of fund shares that you held six months or less, your short-term capital loss must be reclassified as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any long-term capital gain distri bution s received during the period you held the shares. For funds investing in foreign securities, distributions resulting from the sale of certain foreign currencies, currency contracts, and the foreign currency portion of gains on debt securi ties are taxed as ordinary income. Net foreign currency losses may cause monthly or quarterly dividend s to be re classi fied as a return of capital.

If the fund qualifies and elects to pass through nonrefundable foreign income taxes paid to foreign governments during the year, your portion of such taxes will be reported to you as taxable income. However, you may be able to claim an offsetting credit or deduction on your tax return for those amounts. There can be no assurance that a fund will meet the requirements to pass through foreign income taxes paid.

Taxable distributions are subject to tax whether reinvested in additional shares or received in cash.

If a fund invests in Build America Bonds, authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, or other qualified tax credit bonds and elects to pass through the corresponding interest income and any available tax credits, you will need to report both the interest income and any such tax credits as taxable income. You may be able to claim the tax credits on your federal tax return as an offset to your income tax (including alternative minimum tax (AMT) ) liability, but the tax credits are generally not refundable. There is no assurance, however, that a fund will elect to pass through the income and credits.

Tax C onsequences of H edging

Entering into certain options, futures, swaps, and forward foreign exchange contracts and transactions may result in the application of the mark-to-market and straddle provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. These provisions could result in a fund being required to distribute gains on such transactions even though it did not close the contracts during the year or receive cash to pay such distributions. The fund may not be able to reduce its distributions for losses on such transactions to the extent of unrealized gains in offsetting positions.

Tax Consequences of Shareholder Turnover

If the fund`s portfolio transactions result in a net capital loss (i.e., an excess of capital losses over capital gains) for any year, the loss may be carried forward and used to offset future realized capital gains. However, its ability to carry for ward such losses will be limited if the fund experiences an "ownership change" within the meaning of the Internal Rev enue Code. An ownership change generally results when shareholders owning 5% or more of the fund increase their aggregate holdings by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period.

Because institutional funds may have only a few large shareholders, an ownership change can occur in the normal course of shareholder purchases and redemptions. The fund undertakes no obligation to avoid or prevent an owner ship change. Moreover, because of circumstances beyond the fund`s control, there can be no assurance that the fund will not experience, or has not already experienced, an ownership change . An ownership change can reduce the fu nd`s ability to offset capital gains with losses, and as a result, increase the amount of taxable gains that could be distributed to shareholders.

Tax E ffect of B uying S hares B efore a n I ncome D ividend or C apital G ain D istribution

If you buy shares shortly before or on the "record date" — the date that establishes you as the person to receive the upcoming distribution — you may receive a portion of the money you just invested in the form of a taxable distribution. Therefore, you may wish to find out a fund`s record date before investing. Of course, a fund`s share price may, at any time, reflect undistributed capital gains or income and unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions. Such distributions can occur even in a year when the fund has a negative return.

Transaction Procedures and Special Requirements

Following these procedures helps assure timely and accurate transactions.

Purchase Conditions

Nonpayment The fund and its agents have the right to reject or cancel any purchase, exchange, or redemption due to nonpayment.

U.S. Dollars All purchases must be paid for in U.S. dollars ; checks must be drawn on U.S. banks .

Large Sale (Redemption) Conditions Large redemptions can adversely affect a portfolio manager ` s ability to implement a fund ` s investment strategy by causing the premature sale of securities that would otherwise be he ld longer. Therefore, the fund reserves the right (without prior notice) to pay all or part of redemption proceeds with securities from the fund`s portfolio rather than in cash ("redemption in-kind"). If this occurs, the securities will be selected by the fund in its absolute discretion and the redeeming shareholder or account will be responsible for disposing of the securities and bearing any associated costs.

We also request that you give us three business days` notice for any redemption of $2 million or more.

Excessive and Short-Term Trading

T. Rowe Price may bar excessive and short-term traders from purchasing shares.

Excessive or short-term trading in fund shares may disrupt management of a fund and raise its costs. Short-term traders in funds investing in foreign securities may seek to take advantage of an anticipated difference between the price of the fund`s shares and price movements in overseas markets (see Pricing Shares and Receiving Sale Proceeds — How and W hen S hares A re P riced ). While there is no assurance that T. Rowe Price can prevent all excessive and short-term trading, the Board s of Directors of the T. Rowe Price funds have adopted the following policies to deter such activity. Persons trading directly with T. Rowe Price or indirectly through intermediaries in violation of these policie s or persons believed to be short-term traders may be barred for a minimum of 9 0 calendar days or permanently from further purchases of T. Rowe Price funds . Purchase transactions placed by such persons are subject to rejection without notice.

All persons purchasing shares held directly with a T. Rowe Price fund, or through a retirement plan for which T. Rowe Price serves as recordkeeper, who make more than one purchase followed by one sale or one sale followed by one purchase involving the same fund within any 90-day calendar period will violate the policy.

All persons purchasing fund shares held through an intermediary, including a broker, bank, investment adviser, recordkeeper, insurance company, or other third party, and who hold the shares for less than 90 calendar days will violate the policy.

A fund may, in its discretion, reject any purchase or exchange from a person whose trading activity could dilute the value of the fund`s shares, including trading by persons acting collectively (e.g., following the advice of a newsletter). Such persons may be barred from further purchases of T. Rowe Price funds either permanently or for a minimum of 90 calendar days.

Omnibus Accounts Intermediaries often establish omnibus accounts in the T. Rowe Price funds for their customers. In such situations, T. Rowe Price cannot always monitor trading activity by u nderlying s hareholders. However, T. Rowe Price reviews trading activity at the omnibus account level and looks for activity that indicates potential excessive or short term trading. If it detects suspicious trading activity, T. Rowe Price contacts the intermediary to determine whether the excessive trading policy has been violated and may request and receive personal identifying information and transaction histories for some or all underlying shareholders (including plan participants) to make this determina tion. If T. Rowe Price believes that its excessive trading policy has been violated , it will instruct the intermediary to take action with respect to the underlying shareholder in accordance with the policy .

Retirement Plans If shares are held in a retirement plan, generally the fund`s excessive trading policy only applies to shares purchased and redeemed by exchange. However, the policy may apply to transactions other than exchanges depending on how shares of the plan are held at T. Rowe Price or how the excessive trading policy is applied by your plan`s recordkeeper. To determine which of your transactions are subject to the fund`s excessive trading policy, you should contact T. Rowe Price or your plan recordkeeper.

Exceptions to Policy The following types of transactions are generally exempt from this policy: 1) trades solely in money funds (exchanges between a money fund and a non money fund are not exempt); 2) systematic purchases and redemptions ; and 3) checkwriting redemptions from bond and money funds .

T ransaction s in certain rebalancing programs and asset allocation programs, or fund -of -fund s products , may be exempt from the excessive trading policy subject to prior written approval by designated persons at T. Rowe Price. In addition, transactions by certain T. Rowe Price f unds in other T. Rowe Price f unds, as well as certain transactions by approved accounts managed b y T. R owe Price , may also be exempt .

T. Rowe Price may modify the 90-day policy set forth above (for example, in situations where a retirement plan or a third party intermediary has restriction s on trading that differ from a T. Rowe Price fund`s policy). These modifications would be authorized only if the fund believes that the modified policy would provide protection to the fund that is rea sonably equivalent to the fund`s regula r p olicy. If you are trading your fund shares through an intermediary, you should consult with the intermediary to determine the excessive trading policy that applies to your trades in the fund.

There is no guarantee that T. Rowe Price will be able to detect or prevent excessive or short-term trading.

Keeping Your Account Open

To keep operating expenses lower, we ask you to maintain an account balance of at least $1 million . If your investment is below $1 million , we have the right to redeem your account at the then - current NAV after giving you 60 days to increase your balance. This could result in a taxable gain.

Signature Guarantees

A signature guarantee is designed to protect you and the T. Rowe Price funds from fraud by verifying your signature.

You may need to have your signature guaranteed in certain situations, such as:

Written requests : ( 1) to redeem over $100,000 ; or ( 2) to wire redemption proceeds when prior bank account autho rization is not on file.

Remitting redemption proceeds to any person, address, or bank account not on record.

Transferring redemption proceeds to a T. Rowe Price fund account with a different registration (name or owner ship) from yours.

Establishing certain services after the account is opened.

The signature guarantee must be obtained from a financial institution that is a participant in a Medallion Signature Guarantee program. You can obtain a Medallion Signature Guarantee from most banks, savings institutions, broker- dealers, and other guarantors acceptable to T. Rowe Price. When obtaining a Medallion Signature Guarantee, please discuss with the guarantor the dollar amount of your proposed transaction. It is important that the level of coverage provided by the guarantor`s stamp covers the dollar amount of the transaction or it may be rejected. We cannot accept guarantees from notaries public or organizations that do not provide reimbursement in the case of fraud.

More About the Fund 3

Organization and Management

How are the funds organized?

<R>

T. Rowe Price Institutional International Funds, Inc. (the "corporation") was incorporated in Maryland in 1989. C ur rently , the corporation consists of nine series, each representing a separate pool of assets with different objectives and investment policies. Each is an " open-end management investment company, " or mutual fund. Mutual funds pool money received from shareholders and invest it to try to achieve specified objectives.

</R>

Shareholders benefit from T. Rowe Price`s 7 3 years of investment management experience.

What is meant by "shares"?

As with all mutual funds, investors purchase shares when they put money in a fund. These shares are part of a fund`s authorized capital stock, but share certificates are not issued.

Each share and fractional share entitles the shareholder to:

Receive a proportional interest in income and capital gain distributions.

Cast one vote per share on certain fund matters, including the election of fund directors/trustees , changes in fundamental policies, or approval of changes in the fund`s management contract.

Do T. Rowe Price funds have annual shareholder meetings?

The funds are not required to hold annual meetings and, to avoid unnecessary costs to fund shareholders, do not do so except when certain matters, such as a change in fundamental policies, must be decided. In addition, shareholders representing at least 10% of all eligible votes may call a special meeting for the purpose of voting on the removal of any fund director or trustee. If a meeting is held and you cannot attend, you can vote by proxy. Before the meeting, the fund will send or make available to you proxy materials that explain the issues to be decided and include instructions on voting by mail or telephone or on the Internet.

Who runs the funds?

General Oversight

Each fund is governed by a Board of Directors /Trustees that meets regularly to review fund investments, performance, expenses, and other business affairs. The Board elects the funds` officers. At least 75% of Board members are indepen dent of T. Rowe Price International.

All decisions regarding the purchase and sale of fund investments are made by T. Rowe Price International — specifically by the funds` portfolio managers .

The Management Fee

<R>

Each fund pays the fund manager an annual investment management fee based on a percentage of the average daily asset value of the fund. Each fund`s fee is as follows: Africa & Middle East, 1.00%; Emerging Markets Equity, 1.10%; International Growth Equity, 0.70%; Concentrated International Equity, Global Equity , Global Large-Cap Equity , and International Core Equity 0.65%. Each fund calculates and accrues the fee daily. The expenses shown in the fee tables in Section 1 are generally based on a fund`s prior fiscal year . In periods of market volatility, assets may decline signifi cantly, causing total annual fund operating expenses to become higher than the numbers shown in the fee tables.

</R>

For the Emerging Markets Equity Fund, the management fee includes ordinary recurring operating expenses, but does not cover interest, taxes, brokerage, and nonrecurring or extraordinary items.

PAGE 39

For the Africa & Middle East Fund, in order t o limit the fund`s expenses during its initial period of operations, T. Rowe Price International agreed (through February 28, 2011) to waive its fees and/or bear any expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage, and extraordinary expenses) that would cause the fund`s ratio of expenses to average net assets to exceed 1.25%. Termination of this agreement would require approval by the fund`s Board of Directors. Fees waived and expenses paid under this agreement are subject to reimbursement to T. Rowe Price International by the fund whenever the fund`s expense ratio is below 1.25 %. However, no reimbursement will be made more than three years after the waiver or payment, or if it would result in the expense ratio exceeding 1.25 %.

For the Global Equity Fund, e ffective March 1, 2009, T. Rowe Price International agreed (through February 28, 2011) to waive its fees and/or bear any expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage, and extraordinary expenses ) that would cause the fund`s ratio of expenses to average net assets to exceed 0.75%. Termination of this agreement would require approval by the fund`s Board of Directors. Fees waived and expenses paid under this agreement are subject to reim bursement to T. Rowe Price International by the fund whenever the fund`s expense ratio is below 0.75 %. However, no reimbursement will be made more than three years after the waiver or payment, or if it would result in the expense ratio exceeding 0.75 %.

For the Global Large-Cap Equity Fund, in order t o limit the fund`s expenses during its initial period of operations, T. Rowe Price International agreed (through February 28, 2011) to waive its fees and/or bear any expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage, and extraordinary expenses) that would cause the fund`s ratio of expenses to average net assets to exceed 0.75%. Termination of this agreement would require approval by the fund`s Board of Directors. Fees waived and expenses paid under this agreement are subject to reimbursement to T. Rowe Price International by the fund whenever the fund`s expense ratio is below 0.75 %. However, no reimbursement will be made more than three years after the waiver or payment, or if it would result in the expense ratio exceeding 0.75 %.

More Information About the Funds and Their Investment Risks

For purposes of determining whether a particular country is considered a developed market or an emerging market, the funds use the designation set forth by MSCI Barra , a prominent provider of investment tools and data services for institutions worldwide . For purposes of determining whether a fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in a particular country or geographic region, or whether a fund invests at least 40% (at least 30% if market conditions are not favor able) of its net assets in companies outside the U.S., the fund uses a country assigned to a security by MSCI Barra or another unaffiliated third party data provider .

Investing abroad increases the opportunities available to you. Some foreign countries may have greater potential for economic growth than the U.S. Emerging market and regional funds allow investors to seek potentially superior growth in the areas they view as most promising, but with commensurately higher risks. Investing a portion of your overall portfolio in foreign stock funds can enhance your diversification while providing the opportunity to increase long-term returns.

The principal tools we use to try to reduce risk are intensive research and limiting exposure to any one industry or company. Currency hedging techniques may be used from time to time.

Portfolio managers keep close watch on individual investments as well as on political and economic trends in each country and region. Holdings are adjusted according to the manager`s analysis and outlook.

For the more diversified funds, the impact on a fund`s share price from a drop in the price of a particular stock is reduced by investing in many different companies. Likewise, the impact of unfavorable developments in a particular country is reduced when investments are spread among many countries .

However, the economies and financial markets of countries in a certain region may be influenced heavily by one another and the global economy .

As with all stock funds, a fund`s share price can fall because of weakness in one or more of its primary equity markets, a particular industry, or specific holdings. Stock markets can decline for many reasons, including adverse political or economic developments, changes in investor psychology, or heavy institutional selling. The prospects for an industry or company may deteriorate because of a variety of factors, including disappointing earnings or changes in the compet itive environment. In addition, our assessment of companies held in a fund may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance , even in rising markets.

Funds that invest overseas generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. assets. Some particular risks affecting these funds include the following:

Currency risk This refers to a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency. The overall impact on a fund`s holdings can be significant, unpredict able, and long - lasting , depending on the currencies represented in the fund`s portfolio and how each foreign currency appreciates or depreciates in relation to the U.S. dollar

and whether currency positions are hedged. Under normal conditions, the funds do not engage in extensive foreign currency hedging programs. Further, exchange rate movements are volatile , fund attempts at hedging could be unsuc cessful, and it is not possible to effectively hedge the currency risks of many emerging market countries.

Other risks of foreign investing Risks can result from varying stages of economic and political development, differing regulatory environments, trading day s , accounting standards, uncertain tax laws, and higher transaction costs of non- U.S. markets . Investments outside the United States could be subject to governmental actions such as capital or currency controls, nationalization of a company or industry, expropriation of assets, or imposition of high taxes. A trading market may close without warning for extended time periods, preventing a fund from selling or buying securities in that market.

Trading in the underlying securities of the funds may take place in various foreign markets on certain days when the funds are not open for business and do not calculate net asset values. For example, the Africa & Middle East Fund invests in securities that trade in various foreign markets that are open on Sundays. As a result, net asset values may be significantly affected on days when shareholders cannot make transactions.

Emerging markets risk ( Africa & Middle East and Emerging Markets Equity; other funds to a lesser degree ) Investments in emerging markets, which include Africa, parts of Europe and much of Asia, the Middle East, and Central and South America, are subject to the risk of abrupt and severe price declines. The economic and political structures of developing nations, in most cases, do not compare favorably with the U.S. or other developed countries in terms of wealth and sta bility, and their financial markets often lack liquidity . These economies are less developed and can be overly reliant on particular industries and more vulnerable to the ebb and flow of international trade, trade barriers, and other protec tionist or retaliatory measures. Certain countries have legacies and periodic episodes of hyperinflation and currency devaluations, particularly Russia and many Latin American nations, and more recently many Asian countries. Govern ments in many emerging market countries participate to a significant degree in their economies and securities market s. Foreign investments may be restricted and subject to greater government control, including repatriation of sales pro ceeds. Some countries have histories of instability and upheaval that could cause their governments to act in a detri mental or hostile manner toward private enterprise or foreign investmen t . Investments in countries or regions that have recently begun moving away from central planning and state-owned industries toward free markets should be regarded as speculative. While some countries have made progress in economic growth, liberalization, fiscal discipline, and political and social stability, there is no assurance these trends will continue. Significant risks , such as war and terror ism, currently affect some emerging market countries. Fund performance will likely be hurt by exposure to nations in the midst of hyperinflation, currency devaluation, trade disagreements, sudden political upheaval, or interventionist government policies. The volatility of emerging markets may be heightened by the actio ns (such as significant buying or selling) o f a few major investors . For example, substantial increases or decreases in cash flows of mutual funds investing in these markets could significantly affect local stock prices and, therefore, cause fund share prices to decline .

These factors make investing in such countries significantly riskier than in other countries and any one of the se could cause a fund`s share price to declin e.

Geographic risk ( Africa & Middle East ; Emerging Markets Equity to a lesser degree ) Funds that are less diversified across geographic regions, countries, industries, or individual companies are generally riskier than more diversified funds. The economies and financial markets of certain regions — such as Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East — can be interdependent and may all decline at the same time.

Nondiversified status (Africa & Middle East and Concentrated International Equity ) There is additional risk with a fund that is nondiversified and thus can invest more of its assets in a smaller number of companies. F or example, poor performance by a single large holding of a fund would adversely affect fund performance more than if the fund were invested in a larger number of companies.

PAGE 41

Derivatives risk A derivative involves risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the assets on which the derivative is based. Derivatives can be highly volatile, illiquid, and difficult to value, and changes in the value of a derivative may not properly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset, reference rate or index. A fund could be exposed to significant losses if it is unable to close a derivatives position due to the lack of a liquid secondary trading market. Derivatives involve the risk that a counterparty to the derivatives agree ment will fail to make required payments or comply with the terms of the agreement. There is also the possibility that limitations or trading restrictions may be imposed by an exchange or government regulation , which could adversely impact the value and liquidity of a derivatives contract subject to such regulation .

As with any mutual fund, there can be no guarantee that the funds will achieve their objectives.

Investment Policies and Practices

This section takes a detailed look at some of the types of fund securities and the various kinds of investment practices that may be used in day-to-day portfolio management. Fund investments are subject to further restrictions and risks described in the Statement of Additional Information.

Shareholder approval is required to substantively change fund objectives . Shareholder approval is also required to change certain investment restrictions noted in the following section as "fundamental policies." Portfolio managers also follow certain "operating policies" that can be changed without shareholder approval. Shareholders will receive at least 60 days` prior notice of a change in the funds` policy requiring it to normally invest at least 80% of its assets in stocks or a particular geographic area, as the case may be.

Fund holdings of certain kinds of investments cannot exceed maximum percentages of total assets, which are set forth in this prospectus. For instance, fund investments in certain derivatives are limited to 10% of total assets. While these restrictions provide a useful level of detail about fund investments, investors should not view them as an accurate gauge of the potential risk of such investments. For example, in a given period, a 5% investment in derivatives could have sig nificantly more of an impact on a fund`s share price than its weighting in the portfolio. The net effect of a particular investment depends on its volatility and the size of its overall return in relation to the performance of all other fund investments.

Certain i nvestment restrictions, such as a required minimum or maximum investment in a particular type of secur ity, are measured at the time the fund purchases a security. The status, market value, maturity, credit quality, or other char acteristics of a fund`s securities may change after they are purchase d, and this may cause the amount of a fund`s assets invested in such securities to exceed the stated maximum restriction or fall below the stated minimum restriction. If any of these changes occur , it would not be considered a violation of the investment restriction and will not require the sale of an investment if it was proper at the time it was made (this exception does not apply to a fund`s borrowing pol icy) . However, purchases by a fund during the time it is above or below the stated percentage restriction would be made in compliance with applicable restrictions.

Changes in fund holdings, fund performance, and the contribution of various investments are discussed in the share holder reports sent to you.

Fund managers have considerable discretion in choosing investment strategies and selecting securities they believe will help achieve fund objectives.

Types of Portfolio Securities

In seeking to meet their investment objectives, fund investments may be made in any type of security or instrument (including certain potentially high-risk derivatives described in this section) whose investment characteristics are con sistent with their investment programs. The following pages describe various types of fund securities and investment management practices.

Diversification With the exception of the Africa & Middle East and Concentrated International Equity , as a fundamen tal policy, each fund will not purchase a security if, as a result, with respect to 75% of its total assets, more than 5% of the fund `s total assets would be invested in securities of a single issuer or more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer would be held by each fund.

Nondiversified Status — Africa & Middle East and Concentrated International Equity

Each fund is a nondiversified mutual fund. This means that the fund may invest a greater portion of its assets in, and own a greater amount of the voting securities of, a single company than a diversified fund, which may subject the fund to greater risk with respect to its portfolio securities and greater volatility with respect to its share price .

Each fund , however, intends to qualify as a "regulated investment compan y " under the Internal Revenue Code . As a result , each fund must invest so that, at the end of each fiscal quarter, with respect to 50% of its total assets, no more than 5% of its total assets is invested in the securities of a single issuer and not more than 10% of the voting securities of any issuer are held by the fund. With respect to the remaining 50% of fund assets, no more than 25% may be invested in a single issuer.

All funds

Fund investments are primarily in common stocks and, to a lesser degree, other types of securities as described below.

Common and Preferred Stocks

Stocks represent shares of ownership in a company. Generally, preferred stock has a specified dividend and ranks after bonds and before common stocks in its claim on income for dividend payments and on assets should the company be liquidated. After other claims are satisfied, common stockholders participate in company profits on a pro-rata basis; profits may be paid out in dividends or reinvested in the company to help it grow. Increases and decreases in earnings are usually reflected in a company`s stock price, so common stocks generally have the greatest appreciation and depre ciation potential of all corporate securities. Unlike common stocks, preferred stock does not ordinarily carry voting rights. While most preferred stocks pay a dividend, a fund may decide to purchase preferred stock where the issuer has omitted, or is in danger of omitting, payment of its dividend. The funds may purchase American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositar y Receipts (GDRs), which are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer. ADRs and GDRs trade on established markets and are alternatives to directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their local markets and currencies. Such investments are subject to many of the same risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities.

Convertible Securities and Warrants

Investments may be made in debt or preferred equity securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, equity securities. Traditionally, convertible securities have paid dividends or interest at rates higher than common stocks but lower than nonconvertible securities. They generally participate in the appreciation or depreciation of the underlying stock into which they are convertible, but to a lesser degree than common stock . Some convertible securities combine higher or lower current income with options and other features. Warrants are options to buy , directly from the issuer, a stated number of shares of common stock at a specified price anytime during the life of the warrants (generally, two or more years). Warrants can be highly volatile, have no voting rights, and pay no dividends.

Participation Notes (P-notes)

The funds may gain exposure to securities traded in foreign markets through investments in P-notes. P-notes are generally issued by banks or broker-dealers and are designed to offer a return linked to an underlying common stock or other security . An investment in a P-note involves additional risks beyond the risks normally associated with a direct investment in the underlying security. While the holder of a P-note is entitled to receive from the broker-dealer or bank any dividends paid by the underlying security, the holder is not entitled to the same rights (e.g., voting rights) as a direct owner of the underlying security . P-notes are considered general unsecured contractual obligations of the banks or broker-dealers that issue them as the counterparty. As such, the fund must rely on the creditworthiness of the counterparty for its investment returns on the P-notes and would have no rights against the issuer of the underlying security. Additionally, there is no assurance that there will be a secondary trading market for a P-note or that the trading price of a P-note will equal the value of the underlying security.

Operating policy For the Africa & Middle East Fund , there is no limit on fund investments in P-notes. For all other funds, investments in P-notes are limited to 20% of total assets.

Fixed Income Securities

From time to time, a fund may invest in corporate and government fixed income securities as well as below investment- grade bonds, commonly referred to as "junk" bonds. These securities would be purchased in companies that meet fund investment criteria. The price of a fixed income security fluctuates with changes in interest rates, generally rising when interest rates fall and falling when interest rates rise. Below investment-grade bonds, or "junk bonds," can be more vol atile and have greater risk of default than investment-grade bonds.

PAGE 43

Operating policy Fund investments in below investment-grade bonds are limited to 10% of total assets for the Africa & Middle East and Emerging Markets Equity Funds and 5% of total assets for the Concentrated International Equity, Glo bal Equity and Global Large-Cap Equity Funds. Fund investments in convertible securities are not subject to these lim its.

Futures and Options

Futures, a type of potentially high-risk derivative, are often used to manage or hedge risk because they enable the inves tor to buy or sell an asset in the future at an agreed-upon price. Options, another type of potentially high-risk deriva tive, give the investor the right ( when the investor purchases the option), or the obligation ( when the investor "writes" or sells the option), to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price in the future. Futures and options contracts may be bought or sold for any number of reasons, including: to manage exposure to changes in securities prices and foreign currencies ; as an efficient means of increasing or decreasing a fund `s exposure to certain markets; in an effort to enhance income; to protect the value of portfolio securities; and to serve as a cash management tool . Call or put options may be purchased or sold on securities, futures, and financial indices.

Futures contracts and options may not always be successful hedges; their prices can be highly volatile; using them could lower fund total return; and the potential loss from the use of futures can exceed a fund`s initial investment in such contracts.

Operating policies Initial margin deposits on futures and premiums on options used for non-hedging purposes will not exceed 5% of net asset value. The total market value of securities covering call or put options may not exceed 25% of total assets. No more than 5% of total assets will be committed to premiums when purchasing call or put options.

Hybrid Instruments

These instruments (a type of potentially high-risk derivative) can combine the characteristics of securities, futures, and options. For example, the principal amount, redemption, or conversion terms of a security could be related to the mar ket price of some commodity, currency, securities, or securities index. Such securities may or may not bear interest or pay dividends . Under certain conditions, the redemption value of a hybrid could be zero.

Hybrids can have volatile prices and limited liquidity, and their use may not be successful.

Operating policy Fund investments in hybrid instruments are limited to 10% of total assets.

Investments in Other Investment Companies

A fund may invest in other investment companies, including open-end funds, closed-end funds, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

A fund may purchase the securities of another investment company to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the market while awaiting purchase of securities or as an efficient means of gaining exposure to a particular asset class. The fund might also purchase shares of another investment company to gain exposure to the securities in the investment company`s portfolio at times when the fund may not be able to buy those securities directly. Any investment in another investment company would be consistent with the fund`s objective and investment program.

The risks of owning another investment company are generally similar to the risks of investing directly in the securities in which it invests. However, an investment company may not achieve its investment objective or execute its invest ment strategy effectively, which may adversely affect the fund`s performance. In addition, because closed-end funds and ETFs trade on a secondary market, their shares may trade at a premium or discount to the actual net asset value of their portfolio securities and their potential lack of liquidity could result in greater volatility.

As a shareholder of an investment company not sponsored by T. Rowe Price, the fund must pay its pro-rata share of that investment company`s fees and expenses. The fund`s investments in non-T. Rowe Price investment companies are subject to the limits that apply to investments in other funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

A fund may also invest in certain other T. Rowe Price funds as a means of gaining efficient and cost-effective exposure to certain asset classes, provided the investment is consistent with the fund`s investment program and policies. Such an investment could allow the fund to obtain the benefits of a more diversified portfolio than might otherwise be available through direct investments in the asset class, and will subject the fund to the risks associated with the particular asset class. Examples of asset classes in which other T. Rowe Price mutual funds concentrate their investments include high

yield bonds, floating rate loans, international bonds, emerging market bonds , and emerging mark e t stocks . If the fund invests in another T. Rowe Price fund, t he management fee paid by the fund will be reduced to ensure that the fund does not incur duplicate management fees as a result of its investment .

Illiquid Securities

Some fund holdings may be considered illiquid because they are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the prices at which they are valued. The determination of liquidity involves a variety of factors. Illiquid securities may include private placements that are sold directly to a small number of investors, usually institutions. Unlike public offerings, such secu rities are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) . Although certain of these securities may be readily sold, for example under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 , others may have resale restrictions and can be illiquid . The sale of illiquid securities may involve substantial delays and additional costs , and a fund may only be able to sell such securities at prices substantially less than what it believes they are worth .

Operating policy Fund investments in illiquid securities are limited to 15% of net assets.

Types of Investment Management Practices

Reserve Position

A certain portion of fund assets will be held in reserves. Fund reserve positions can consist of : 1) shares of one or both of the T. Rowe Price internal money funds , the T. Rowe Price Government Reserve Investment Fund or the T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Fund (which do not charge any management fees) ; 2) s hort-term, high-quality U.S. and foreign dollar-denominated money market securities, including repurchase agreements ; and 3) U.S. dollar or non-U.S. dollar currencies. For temporary, defensive purposes, there is no limit on a fund`s holdings in reserves. If a fund has s ignificant holdings in reserves , it could compromise the fund`s ability to achieve its objectives . The reserve position provides flexibility in meeting redemptions, paying expenses, and in the timing of new investments and can serve as a short-term defense during periods of unusual market volatility . Non-U.S. dollar reserves are subject to currency risk.

Foreign Currency Transactions

The funds will normally conduct their foreign currency exchange transactions, if any, either on a spot (i.e., cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market, or through entering into forward contracts to pur chase or sell foreign currencies. The funds will generally not enter into a forward contract with a term greater than one year.

The funds will generally enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts only under two circumstances. First, a fund may "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of the security when it enters into a contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency . Second, when T. Rowe Price International believes that the currency of a particular foreign country may move substantially against another currency, it may enter into a forward contract to sell or buy the former foreign currency (or another currency that acts as a proxy for that currency). The contract may approximate the value of some or all of the funds` portfolio securities denominated in such foreign currency. Under unusual circumstances, a fund may commit a substantial portion or the entire value of its portfolio to the consummation of these contracts. T. Rowe Price International will consider the effect such a commitment to forward contracts would have on each fund`s investment program and the flexibility of each fund to purchase additional securities. Although forward contracts will be used primarily to protect the fund from adverse currency movements, they also involve the risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted, and fund total return could be adversely affected as a result.

There are some markets where it is not possible to engage in effective foreign currency hedging. This is generally true, for example, for the currencies of various emerging markets where the foreign exchange markets are not sufficiently developed to permit hedging activity to take place.

Tax Consequences of Hedging

Hedging may result in the application of the mark-to-market and straddle provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. These provisions could result in an increase (or decrease) in the amount of taxable dividends paid by the funds and could affect whether dividends paid are classified as capital gains or ordinary income.

Borrowing Money and Transferring Assets

A fund may borrow from banks and other T. Rowe Price funds for temporary emergency purposes to facilitate redemp tion requests, or for other purposes consistent with fund policies as set forth in this prospectus. Such borrowings may be collateralized with fund assets, subject to restrictions.

PAGE 45

Fundamental policy Borrowings may not exceed 33 1 / 3 % of total assets.

Operating policy A f und will not transfer portfolio securities as collateral except as necessary in connection with per missible borrowings or investments, and then such transfers may not exceed 33 1 / 3 % of total assets. A f und will not pur chase additional securities when borrowings exceed 5% of total assets.

Lending of Portfolio Securities

A fund may lend its securities to broker-dealers, other institutions, or other persons to earn additional income. R isk s include the potential insolvency of the broker-dealer or other borrower that could result in delays in recovering securi ties and capital losses. Additionally, losses could result from the reinvestment of collateral received on loaned securities in investments that default or do not perform as expected .

Fundamental policy The value of loaned securities may not exceed 33 1 / 3 % of total assets.

Portfolio Turnover

<R>

Turnover is an indication of frequency of trading. A fund will not generally trade in securities for short-term profits, but, when circumstances warrant, securities may be purchased and sold without regard to the length of time held. Each time a fund purchases or sells a security, it incurs a cost. This cost is reflected in it s net asset value but not in its operat ing expenses. The higher the turnover rate, the higher the transaction costs and the greater the impact on a fund`s total return. Higher turnover can also increase the possibility of taxable capital gain distributions . The funds` portfolio turn over rates (except for Concentrated International Equity and International Core Equity) are shown in the Financial Highlights table.

</R>

Disclosure of Fund Portfolio Information

Each fund`s portfolio holdings are disclosed on a regular basis in its semi annual and annual reports to shareholders , and on Form N-Q , which is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days of the funds` first and third fiscal quarter-end. Beginning in December 2010, money funds will file detailed month-end portfolio holdings information with the SEC on Form N-MFP within five business days after each month. Such information will be made available to the public 60 days after the end of the month to which the information pertains. In addition, the fund discloses its calendar quarter-end portfolio holdings on troweprice.com 15 calendar days after each quarter. Under certain conditions, up to 5% of the fund`s holdings may be included in this portfolio list without being individually identified. Generally, securities would not be individually identified if they are being actively bought or sold and it is determined that the quarter-end disclosure of the holding could be harmful to the funds. A security will not be excluded for these purposes from a fund`s quarter-end holdings disclosure for more than one year . Money funds also disclose their month-end portfolio holdings on troweprice.com five business days after each month. The quarter-end portfolio holdings will remain on the Web site for one year and the month-end money fund portfolio holdings will remain on the Web site for at least four months. Each fund also discloses its 10 largest holdings on troweprice. com on the seventh business day after each month-end . These holdings are listed in alphabetical order along with the aggregate percentage of the fund`s total assets that these 10 holdings represent. Each monthly top 10 list will remain on the Web site for six months . A description of the fund`s p olicy and procedures with respect to the disclosure of portfolio information is in the Statement of Additional Information.

Financial Highlights

The Financial Highlights table , which provides information about each fund`s (except for Concentrated International Equity and International Core Equity ) financial history, is based on a single share outstanding throughout the periods shown. Each fund`s section of the table is part of each fund`s financial statements, which are included in its annual report and are incorporated by reference into the Statement of Additional Information (available upon request). The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in each fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions and no payment of account or [ if applicable ] redemption fees). The financial statements in the annual reports were audited by the fund`s independent registered public accounting firm , PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

Corporate and other institutional accounts require documents showing the existence of the entity (such as articles of incorporation or partnership agreements) to open an account.

M anagement of the Funds

The officers and directors (the term "director" is used to refer to directors or trustees, as applicable) of the Price F unds are listed below. Unless otherwise noted, the address of each is 100 Ea st Pratt Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202.

Each fund is overseen by a Board of Directors/Trustees ( "Board" ) that meets regularly to review a wide variety of matters affecting the funds, including performance, investment programs, compliance matters, advisory fees and expenses, service providers, and other business affairs. The Boards elect the funds` officers and are responsible for performing various duties imposed on them by the 1940 Act, the laws of Maryland or Massachusetts, and other laws. At least 75% of the Board `s members are independent of T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International. Each of the independent directors serves on the Board of each Price Fund. The directors who are also employees or officers of T. Rowe Price are referred to as inside or interested directors. Except as indicated, each inside director or officer has been an employee of T. Rowe Price or T. Rowe Price International for five or more years. Each Board currently has three standing committees, a Committee of Independent Directors, a Joint Audit Committee, and an Executive Committee, each as described in the following paragraphs .

Edward C. Bernard, an inside director, is the Chairman of the Board of each fund. The independent directors of each fund have designated a Lead Independent Director, who functions as a liaison between the Chairman of the Board and the other independent directors. The Lead Independent Director presides at all executive sessions of the independent directors , reviews and provides input on Board meeting agendas and materials, and typically represents the independent directors in discussions with T. Rowe Price management. Anthony W. Deering

currently serves as Lead Independent Director. Each fund`s Board has determined that its leadership and committee structure is appropriate because the Board believes that it sets the proper tone for the relationship between the fund, on the one hand, and T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International and the fund`s other principal service providers, on the other, and facilitates the exercise of the Board`s independent judgment in evaluating and managing the relationships. In addition, the structure efficiently allocates responsibility among committees and the full Board.

Like other mutual funds, the funds are subject to risks, including investment, compliance, operational and valuation risks, among others. The Board oversees risk as part of its oversight of the funds. Risk oversight is addressed as part of various Board and committee activities. The Board, directly or through its committees, interacts with and reviews reports from, among others, the investment adviser or its affiliates, the funds` Chief Compliance Officer, the funds` independent registered public accounting firm, legal counsel, and internal auditors for T. Rowe Price or its affiliates, as appropriate, regarding risks faced by the funds and the risk management programs of the investment adviser and certain other service providers. Also, the Board and the Joint Audit Committee receive periodic reports from members of the advisers` Risk Management Oversight Committee on the significant risks inherent to the advisers` business, including aggregate investment risks, reputational risk, business continuity risk, and operational risk. The actual day-to-day risk management functions with respect to the funds are subsumed within the responsibilities of the investment advisers and other service providers (depending on the nature of the risk), who carry out the funds` investment management and business affairs. Although the risk management policies of T. Rowe Price, T. Rowe Price International, and the other service providers are reasonably designed to be effective, those policies and their implementation vary among service providers over time, and there is no guarantee that they will be effective. Not all risks that may affect the funds can be identified. Processes and controls developed may not eliminate or mitigate the occurrence or effects of all risks, and some risks may be simply beyond any control of the funds, T. Rowe Price, T. Rowe Price International, or their affiliates or other service providers .

The Committee of Independent Directors, which consists of all of the independent directors of the funds, is responsible for selecting candidates for election as independent directors to fill vacancies on each fund`s Board. The committee will consider written recommendations from shareholders for possible nominees. Shareholders should submit their recommendations to the secretary of the funds. The committee held three formal meeting s in 200 9 . The committee is chaired by the Lead Independent Director .

The Joint Audit Committee is composed of Jeremiah E. Casey , Anthony W. Deering, Theo C. Rodgers, and Mark R. Tercek, all independent directors . Theo C. Rodgers currently serves as chairman of the Joint Audit Committee. The Joint Audit Committee holds two regular meetings during each fiscal year, at which time it meets with the independent registered public accounting firm of the Price Funds to review: (1) the services provided; (2) the findings of the most recent audit s ; (3) management`s response to the findings of the most recent audit s ; (4) the scope of the audit s to be performed; (5) the accountants` fees; and (6) any accounting , tax, compliance , or other questions relating to particular areas of the Price Funds` operations or the operations of parties dealing with the Price Funds, as circumstances indicate. The Joint Audit Committee met t wo times in 200 9 .

The funds` Executive Committee, consisting of the funds` interested director ( s ) , has been authorized by its respective Board to exercise all powers of the Boards to manage the funds in the intervals between meetings of the Boards, except the powers prohibited by statute from being delegated. All actions of the Executive Committee must be approved in advance by one independent director and rev iewed after the fact by the full B oard . The Executive Committee for each fund does not hold regularly scheduled meetings. The Executive Committee took action by written consent on behalf of five funds during 2009.

Each Board has concluded that, based on each director`s experience, qualifications, attributes or skills on an individual basis and in combination with those of the other directors, each director should serve on the Board. Attributes common to all directors include their ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, to interact effectively with the various service providers to the funds, and to exercise reasonable business judgment in the performance of their duties as directors. In addition, the Board has taken into account the actual service and commitment of the directors during their tenure in concluding that each should continue to serve. A director`s ability to perform his or her duties effectively may have been attained through his or her educational background or professional training; business, consulting, public service or academic positions; experience from service as a director of the Price Funds, public companies, or non-profit

entities or other organizations; or other experiences. Set forth below is a brief discussion of the specific experience, qualifications, attributes, or skills of each director that led the Board to conclude that he or she should serve as a director.

Messrs. Deering, Dick and Schreiber have each served as a director of Price Funds for more than 18 years, and Messrs. Casey and Rodgers and Ms. Horn have each served as a director of Price Funds for more than 5 years, including in each case as members and/or Chairs of Board committees. Mr. Tercek has been a director of the Price Funds since 2009. He has approximately 24 years of experience in the financial services industry and, for the past two years, has been the chief executive officer of a non-profit entity. Dr. Brody has been a director of the Price Funds since 2009. He has substantial experience in the public health and research fields, as well as academia, and brings a diverse perspective to the Board. In addition, specific experience and qualifications of the independent director s with respect to their occupations and directorships of public companies and other investment companies are set forth in the following table.

Inside Directors ( a)

The following persons are considered interested persons of the funds because they also serve as officers of the funds and/or T. Rowe Price or T. Rowe Price International. No more than two inside directors serve as directors of any fund.

Mr. Gitlin became a director of certain Price Funds earlier in 2010, and Messrs.

Retirement and Spectrum Funds ( individually, a " F und-of- F unds" and collectively , " F unds-of- F unds")

The management of the business and affairs of the Funds-of-Funds is the responsibility of the Board . In exercising their responsibilities, the Board, among other things, will refer to the Special Servicing Agreement and policies and guidelines included in an Application for an Exemptive Order (and accompanying Notice and Order) issued by the SEC in connection with the Spectrum Funds ( and which also applies to Retirement Funds). A majority of directors of the Funds-of-Funds are independent. However, the directors and officers of the Funds-of-Funds and certain directors and officers of T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International also serve in similar positions with most of the various Price Funds in which the Retirement and Spectrum Funds invest (collectively , "underlying Price funds" ). Thus, if the interests of the Funds-of-Funds and the underlying Price funds were ever to become divergent, it is possible that a conflict of interest could arise and affect how this latter group of persons fulfill their fiduciary duties to the Funds-of-Funds and the underlying Price funds. The directors of Funds-of-Funds believe they have structured the Funds-of-Funds to avoid these concerns. However, a situation could conceivably occur where proper action for the Funds-of-Funds could be adverse to the interests of an underlying Price fund, or the reverse could occur. If such a possibility arises, the directors and officers of the affected funds, T. Rowe Price, and T. Rowe Price International will carefully analyze the situation and take all steps they believe reasonable to minimize and, where possible, eliminate the potential conflict.

Portfolio Manager Compensation

Portfolio manager compensation consists primarily of a base salary, a cash bonus, and an equity incentive that usually comes in the form of a stock option grant. Occasionally, portfolio managers will also have the opportunity to participate in venture capital partnerships. Compensation is variable and is determined based on the following factors.

Investment performance over 1 -, 3 -, 5 -, and 10-year periods is the most important input. The weightings for these time periods are generally balanced and are applied consistently across similar strategies. T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International, as appropriate, evaluate performance in absolute, relative, and risk-adjusted terms. Relative performance and risk-adjusted performance are determined with reference to the broad - based index ( e.g., S&P 500) and the Lipper index ( e.g . , Large-Cap Growth) set forth in the total returns table in the fund`s prospectus, al though other benchmarks may be used as well. Investment results are also measured against comparably managed funds of competitive investment management firms. The selection of comparable funds is approved by the applicable i nvestment s teering c ommittee (as described under the "Disclosure of Fund Portfolio Information" section) and those funds are the same ones presented to the directors of the Price Funds in their regular review of fund performance. Performance is primarily measured on a pre tax basis though tax efficiency is considered and is especially important for the Tax - Efficient Equity Fund . C ompensation is viewed with a long - term time horizon. The more consistent a manager`s performance over time, the higher the compensation opportunity. The increase or decrease in a fund`s assets due to the purchase or sale of fund shares is not considered a material factor. In reviewing relative performance for fixed - income funds, a fund`s expense ratio is usually taken into account.

PAGE 133

Contribution to our overall investment process is an important consideration as well. Sharing ideas with other portfolio managers, working effectively with and mentoring our younger analysts, and being good corporate citizens are important components of our long - term success and are highly valued.

All employees of T. Rowe Price, including portfolio managers, participate in a 401(k) plan sponsored by T. Rowe Price Group. In addition, all employees are eligible to purchase T. Rowe Price common stock through an employee stock purchase plan that features a limited corporate matching contribution. Eligibility for and participation in these plans is on the same basis as for all employees. Finally, all vice presidents of T. Rowe Price Group, including all portfolio managers, receive supplemental medical/hospital reimbursement benefits.

This compensation structure is used for all portfolios managed by the portfolio manager.

Conflicts of Interest

Portfolio managers at T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International typically manage multiple accounts. These accounts may include, among others, mutual funds, separate accounts (assets managed on behalf of institutions such as pension funds, colleges and universities, foundations), offshore funds and commingled trust accounts. Portfolio managers make investment decisions for each portfolio based on the investment objectives, policies, practices , and other relevant investment considerations that the managers believe are applicable to that portfolio. Consequently, portfolio managers may purchase (or sell) securities for one portfolio and not another portfolio. T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International ha ve adopted brokerage and trade allocation policies and procedures which they believe are reasonably designed to address any potential conflicts associated with managing multiple accounts for multiple clients. Also, as disclosed under the "Portfolio Manager Compensation" section, our portfolio managers` compensation is determined in the same manner with respect to all portfolios managed by the portfolio manager. Please see the "Portfolio Transactions" section of this SAI for more information on our brokerage and trade allocation policies .

T. Rowe Price funds may, from time to time, own shares of Morningstar, Inc. Morningstar is a provider of investment research to individual and institutional investors, and publishes ratings on mutual funds, including the Price Funds. T. Rowe Price manages the Morningstar retirement plan and T. Rowe Price and its affiliates pay Morningstar for a variety of products and services . In addition, Morningstar may provide investment consulting and investment management services to clients of T. Rowe Price or its affiliates .

Management Fee s

The funds pay the Investment Managers a fee ( "Fee" ) which consists of two components: a Group Management Fee ( "Group Fee" ) and an Individual Fund Fee ( "Fund Fee" ). The Fee is paid monthly to the Investment Managers on the first business day of the next succeeding calendar month and is calculated as described next.

The monthly Group Fee ( "Monthly Group Fee" ) is the sum of the daily Group Fee accruals ( "Daily Group Fee Accruals" ) for each month. The Daily Group Fee Accrual for any particular day is computed by multiplying the Price Funds` group fee accrual as determined below ( "Daily Price Funds` Group Fee Accrual" ) by the ratio of the Price Fund s ` net assets for that day to the sum of the aggregate net assets of the Price Funds for that day. The Daily Price Funds` Group Fee Accrual for any particular day is calculated by multiplying the fraction of one (1) over the number of calendar days in the year by the annualized Daily Price Funds` Group Fee Accrual for that day as determined in accordance with the following schedule:

0.480%	First $1 billion	0.360%	Next $2 billion	0.310%	Next $16 billion
0.450%	Next $1 billion	0.350%	Next $2 billion	0.305%	Next $30 billion
0.420%	Next $1 billion	0.340%	Next $5 billion	0.300%	Next $40 billion
0.390%	Next $1 billion	0.330%	Next $10 billion	0.295%	Next $40 billion
0.370%	Next $1 billion	0.320%	Next $10 billion	0.290%	Next $60 billion
				0.285%	Thereafter

For the purpose of calculating the Group Fee, the Price Funds include all the mutual funds distributed by Investment Services (excluding the Retirement Funds, Spectrum Funds, TRP Reserve Investment Funds, and any Index or private label mutual funds). For the purpose of calculating the Daily Price Funds` Group Fee Accrual for any particular day, the net assets of each Price Fund are determined in accordance with each fund`s prospectus as of the close of business on the previous business day on which the fund was open for business.

The monthly Fund Fee ( "Monthly Fund Fee" ) is the sum of the daily Fund Fee accruals ( "Daily Fund Fee Accruals" ) for each month. The Daily Fund Fee Accrual for any particular day is computed by multiplying the fraction of one (1) over the number of calendar days in the year by the individual fund fee . The product of this calculation is multiplied by the net assets of the fund for that day, as determined in accordance with the fund`s prospectus as of the close of business on the previous business day on which the fund was open for business.

The Investment Management Agreement between each Single Fee Fund and the Investment Managers provides that the Investment Managers will pay all expenses of each fund`s operations, except interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and other charges incident to the purchase, sale, or lending of the fund`s portfolio securities, and such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses that may arise, including the costs of actions, suits, or proceedings to which the fund is a party and the expenses the fund may incur as a result of its obligation to provide indemnification to its officers, directors, and agents. However, the Boards for the funds reserve the right to impose additional fees against shareholder accounts to defray expenses which would otherwise be paid by the Investment Managers under the Investment Management Agreement. The Boards do not anticipate levying such charges; such a fee, if charged, may be retained by the funds or paid to the Investment Managers.

The Fee is paid monthly to the Investmen t Managers on the first business day of the next succeeding calendar month and is the sum of the Daily Fee accruals for each month.

Distributor for the Funds

Investment Services, a Maryland corporation formed in 1980 as a wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe Price, serves as distributor for all T. Rowe Price mutual funds on a continuous basis . Investment Services is registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (" FINRA ").

Investment Services is located at the same address as the funds and T. Rowe Price — 100 East Pratt Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202.

Investment Services serves as distributor to the f und s , pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement ( "Underwriting Agreement" ), which provides that the funds (other than the Single-Fee Funds) will pay all fees and expenses in connection with necessary state filings; preparing, setting in type, printing, and mailing of prospectuses and reports to shareholders; and issuing shares, including expenses of confirming purchase orders. For the Single- Fee Funds, the Underwriting Agreement provides that Investment Services will pay, or will arrange for others to pay, all of these fees and expenses.

The Underwriting Agreement also provides that Investment Services will pay all fees and expenses in connection with printing and distributing prospectuses and reports for use in offering and selling fund shares; preparing, setting in type, printing, and mailing all sales literature and advertising; Investment Services` federal and state registrations as a broker-dealer; and offering and selling shares for each fund, except for those fees and expenses specifically assumed by the funds. Investment Services` expenses are paid by T. Rowe Price.

Investment Services acts as the agent of the fund s , in connection with the sale of fund shares in the various states in which Investment Services is qualified as a broker-dealer. Under the Underwriting Agreement, Investment Services accepts orders for fund shares at net asset value. Other than as described below with respect to the Advisor and R Class shares , n o sales charges are paid by investors or the fund s and n o compensation is paid to Investment Services.

Advisor and R Class

Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan

The fund d irectors adopted a p lan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 with respect to each Advisor and R Class (collectively "Class" ) . Each p lan provides that the Class may compensate Investment Services or such other persons as the fund s or Investment Services designates, to finance any or all of the distribution, shareholder servicing, maintenance of shareholder accounts, and/or other administrative services with respect to Class shares. It is expected that most, if not all, payments under each p lan will be made (either directly, or indirectly through Investment Services) to intermediaries other than Investment Services such as broker-dealers , banks, insurance companies, and retirement plan recordkeepers . Under each p lan, the Advisor Class pays a fee at the annual rate of up to 0.25% of that class`s average daily net assets and the R Class pays a fee at the annual rate of up to 0.50% of that class's average daily net assets. Normally, the full amount of the fee is paid to the intermediary o n shares sold through that intermediary ; h owever, a lesser amount may be paid . In addition, the fee may be split among intermediaries based on the level of services provided by each . Intermediaries may use the payments for, among other purposes, compensating employees engaged in sales and/or shareholder servicing of the Class, as well as for a wide variety of other purposes associated with supporting, distributing, and servicing Class shares. The amount of fees paid by a Class during any year may be more or less than the cost of distribution and other services provided to the Class and its investors. FINRA rules limit the amount of annual distribution and service fees that may be paid by a mutual fund and impose a ceiling on the cumulative distribution fees paid. The p lan complies with these rules.

The p lan requires that Investment Services provide, or cause to be provided, a quarterly written report identifying the amounts expended by each Class and the purposes for which such expenditures were made to the fund d irectors for their review.

Prior to approving the p lan, the fund s considered various factors relating to the implementation of the p lan and determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the p lan will benefit each fund, its Class, and the Class`s shareholders. The fund d irectors noted that to the extent the p lan allows a fund to sell Class shares in markets to which it would not otherwise have access, the p lan may result in additional sales of fund shares. This may enable a fund to achieve economies of scale that could reduce expenses. In addition, certain ongoing

shareholder services may be provided more effectively by intermediaries with which shareholders have an existing relationship.

The p lan is renewable from year to year with respect to each fund, so long as its continuance is approved at least annually (1) by the vote of a majority of the fund d irectors and (2) by a vote of the majority of the funds ` independent directors cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. The p lan may not be amended to increase materially the amount of fees paid by any Class thereunder unless such amendment is approved by a majority vote of the outstanding shares of such Class and by the fund d irectors in the manner prescribed by Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The p lan is terminable with respect to a Class at any time by a vote of a majority of the independent d irectors or by a majority vote of the outstanding shares in the Class.

Payments under the 12b-1 plans will normally be made for funds that are closed to new investors. Such payments are made for the various services provided to the investors by the intermediaries receiving such payments .

The following payments for the fiscal year indicated were made to intermediaries, including broker-dealers and insurance companies, for the distribution, shareholder servicing, maintenance of shareholder accounts , and/or other administrati ve services under the p lan .

P ortfolio Transactions

Investment or Brokerage Discretion

Decisions with respect to the selection, purchase, and sale of portfolio securities on behalf of the international Price Funds are made by T. Rowe Price International. Decisions with respect to the selection, purchase, and sale of portfolio securities on behalf of all other Price Funds are made by T. Rowe Price. T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International are responsible for implementing these decisions for the Price Funds, including, where applicable, the negotiation of commissions, the allocation of portfolio brokerage and principal business, and the use of affiliates to assist in routing orders for execution.

How Broker-Dealers Are Selected

With respect to equity and debt securities, T. Rowe Price or T. Rowe Price International may effect principal transactions on behalf of a fund with a broker-dealer that furnishes brokerage and/or research services; designate any such broker-dealer to receive selling concessions, discounts, or other allowances; or otherwise deal with any such broker-dealer in connection with the acquisition of securities in underwritings. T. Rowe Price or T. Rowe Price International may receive research services in connection with brokerage transactions, including designations in fixed-price offerings.

Debt Securities

In purchasing and selling debt securities, T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International ordinarily place transactions with the issuer or a primary market-maker acting as principal for the securities on a net basis, with no brokerage commission being paid by the client (although the price usually includes undisclosed compensation) and may involve the designation of selling concessions. Debt securities may also be purchased from underwriters at prices which include underwriting fees. Any transactions placed through broker-dealers serving as primary market-makers reflect the spread between the bid and ask prices. Funds that invest exclusively or primarily in debt securities may nonetheless benefit from research and services received through the use of commissions generated by funds investing in equity securities.

Equity Securities

In purchasing and selling equity securities, T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International seek to obtain quality execution at favorable security prices through responsible broker-dealers and, in the case of agency transactions, at competitive commission rates. However, under certain conditions, higher brokerage commissions may be paid in return for a mix of brokerage and research services.

In selecting broker-dealers to execute the Price Funds` portfolio transactions, consideration is given to such factors as the price of the security, the rate of the commission, the size and difficulty of the order, the reliability, integrity, general execution, and operational capabilities of competing broker-dealers, their expertise in particular markets, and brokerage and research services provided by them. It is not the policy of T. Rowe Price or T. Rowe Price International to seek the lowest available commission rate where it is believed that a broker- dealer charging a higher commission rate would offer greater reliability or provide better price or execution.

As a general practice, transactions involving U.S. equity securities are executed in the primary market with market-makers, or through an electronic communications network ( "ECN" ) or Alternative Trading System. In selecting from among these options, T. Rowe Price generally seeks to select the broker-dealers or electronic venue it believes to be actively and effectively trading the security being purchased or sold. In an effort to obtain quality execution, orders for foreign equity securities may be placed through T. Rowe Price International`s trading desk. Executions of orders may be directed to an affiliated trading desk that is best situated to execute a particular order.

Transactions on stock exchanges involve the payment of brokerage commissions. In transactions on stock exchanges in the U.S., these commissions are negotiated. Traditionally, commission rates have generally not been negotiated on stock markets outside the U.S. However, an increasing number of overseas stock markets have adopted a system of negotiated rates or ranges of rates, although a small number of markets continue to be subject to an established schedule of minimum commission rates. It is expected that equity securities will ordinarily be purchased in the primary markets, whether over-the-counter or listed, and that listed securities may be purchased in the over-the-counter market if such market is deemed the primary market. In the case of securities traded on the over-the-counter markets, there is generally no stated commission, but the price usually

PAGE 197

includes an undisclosed commission or markup. In underwritten offerings, the price includes a disclosed, fixed commission or discount.

Evaluating the Overall Reasonableness of Brokerage Commissions Paid

On a continuing basis, T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International seek to determine what levels of commission rates are reasonable in the marketplace for transactions executed on behalf of mutual funds and other institutional clients. In evaluating the reasonableness of commission rates, T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International may consider any or all of the following: (a) rates quoted by broker-dealers; (b) the size of a particular transaction, in terms of the number of shares, dollar amount, and number of clients involved; (c) the complexity of a particular transaction in terms of both execution and settlement; (d) the level and type of business done with a particular firm over a period of time; (e) the extent to which the broker-dealer has capital at risk in the transaction; (f) historical commission rates; and (g) rates paid by other institutional investors based on available public information.

Commissions Paid to Broker-Dealers for Research

T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International receive a wide range of research services from broker-dealers. The services provide domestic and international perspectives and may cover investment opportunities throughout the world. These services include information on the economy, industries, groups of securities, individual companies, statistics, accounting and tax law interpretations, political developments, legal developments affecting portfolio securities, technical market action, pricing and appraisal services, performance analysis, credit analysis, risk measurement analysis, and analysis of corporate responsibility issues. Research services are received primarily in the form of written reports, e-mails, computer-generated services, telephone contacts, and personal meetings with security analysts. Such services may also be provided through meetings arranged with corporate management, industry spokespersons, economists, academicians, and government representatives. Some research may be incorporated into firm-wide systems or communications. Therefore, T. Rowe Price may have access to research obtained through commissions generated by T. Rowe Price International and T. Rowe Price International may have access to research obtained through commissions generated by T. Rowe Price.

Certain broker-dealers that provide quality brokerage and execution services also furnish proprietary research services to T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International. Proprietary research may also include research provided by an affiliate of the broker-dealer. With regard to the payment of brokerage commissions and receipt of proprietary research, T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International have adopted brokerage allocation policies which embody the concepts of Section 28(e) of the 1934 Act and which are in accordance with the Conduct of Business Rules of the United Kingdom Financial Services Authority. Section 28(e) permits an investment adviser to cause its accounts or clients to pay a higher commission to a broker-dealer that furnishes research services than what might be charged by another broker-dealer that does not furnish research services (or that furnishes brokerage and research services deemed to be of lesser value). The adviser must determine in good faith that the commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the research services (and any brokerage services) provided. The determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities of the adviser with respect to the accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. As a result, research may not necessarily benefit all accounts paying commissions to such broker-dealers.

Except as set forth in the following section on "Directed Brokerage," T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International have policies of not allocating brokerage business in return for products or services other than brokerage or research services, although from time to time each receives third-party vendor services and products serving both research and non-research functions in accordance with the provisions of Section 28(e). T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International cannot always readily determine the extent to which commissions charged by broker-dealers reflect the value of their research services. However, in accordance with regulations issued by the United Kingdom Financial Services Authority, T. Rowe Price International makes a good faith determination of the amount of its clients` commissions attributable to research.

T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International may receive proprietary research from broker-dealers in connection with brokerage transactions, including selling concessions and designations in fixed-price offerings in which a Price Fund or non-ERISA client participates.

Research services received from broker-dealers are supplemental to the research efforts of T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International and, when utilized, are subject to internal analysis before being incorporated into their investment process es . As a practical matter, it would not be possible to take into consideration all of the information and varied opinions presently provided by broker-dealers. Independent third-party research is an important component of the Price Funds` investment selection process and may be paid for directly by T. Rowe Price or T. Rowe Price International, obtained through commission sharing arrangements (" CSAs "), or acquired through "step-out" transactions.

T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International may obtain third-party research from broker-dealers or non- broker-dealers by entering into CSAs. Under a CSA, the executing broker-dealer agrees that part of the commissions it earns on certain equity trades for the Price Funds will be allocated to one or more research providers, as directed by T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International, as payment for research. The use of CSAs allows T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International to direct broker-dealers to pool commissions that are generated from orders executed at that broker-dealer (for equity transactions on behalf of the Price Funds and other client accounts), and then periodically direct the broker-dealer to pay third party research providers for research. All such uses of CSAs by T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International shall be subject to applicable law and their best execution obligations.

In addition, proprietary research and services may be acquired or received either directly from executing brokers -dealers or indirectly through other brokers -dealers in step-out transactions or similar arrangements. A "step-out" is an arrangement by which an investment manager executes a trade through one broker-dealer but instructs that entity to step-out all or a portion of the trade to another broker-dealer. This second broker-dealer will clear , settle, and receive commissions for, the stepped-out portion. T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International may use a step-out to compensate broker-dealers who provide valuable proprietary research services to the Price Funds. T. Rowe Price may also use full service broker-dealers that provide "bundled" proprietary research, either directly or through step-out transactions with other brokers . All such uses of brokerage by T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International to acquire research shall be subject to applicable law and their best execution obligations. Lower commissions may be available from other broker-dealers that do not provide research.

While receipt of research services from brokerage firms has not reduced normal research activities by T. Rowe Price or T. Rowe Price International, the expenses of either could be materially increased if it attempted to generate such additional information through its own staff. To the extent that research services of value are provided by broker-dealers, T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International are relieved of expenses which they might otherwise bear.

Directed Brokerage

The Price Funds that invest in U.S. equity securities have adopted a commission recapture program. Under the program, a percentage of commissions generated by the portfolio transactions of those funds is rebated to the funds by the broker-dealers and credited to short-term security gain/loss.

At the present time, the Price Funds do not recapture commissions, underwriting discounts, or selling group concessions in connection with debt securities acquired in underwritten offerings. T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International may, however, have the opportunity to designate a portion of the underwriting spread to broker-dealers that participate in the offering.

Allocation of Brokerage Commissions

T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International have policies of not pre-committing a specific amount of business to any broker-dealer over any specific time period. Historically, brokerage placement has been determined, as appropriate, by the needs of a specific transaction such as market-making, availability of a buyer or seller of a particular security, or specialized execution skills. T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International may choose to allocate brokerage among several broker-dealers that are able to meet the needs of the transaction.

Each year, T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International assess the contributions of the equity brokerage and research services provided by broker-dealers and create a ranking of broker-dealers in response to these assessments. Portfolio managers, research analysts, and the trading department each evaluate the brokerage, execution, and research services they receive from broker-dealers and make judgments as to the quality of such

PAGE 199

services. Actual business received by a particular firm may not directly reflect its ranking in the voting process. It may be less than the suggested target but can, and often does, exceed the suggestions because the total business is allocated on the basis of all the considerations described above. Allocation of brokerage business is monitored on a periodic basis by the Equity and Fixed Income Brokerage and Trading Control Committee s . In no event is a broker-dealer excluded from receiving business from T. Rowe Price or T. Rowe Price International because it has not been identified as providing research services. Discount or execution-only brokers, as well as ECNs , are used where deemed appropriate.

Trade Allocation Policies

T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International have developed written trade allocation guidelines for their trading desks. Generally, when the amount of securities available in a public offering or the secondary markets is insufficient to satisfy the volume or price requirements for the participating client portfolios, the guidelines require a pro-rata allocation based upon the relative sizes of the participating client portfolios or the relative sizes of the participating client orders, depending upon the market involved. In allocating trades made on a combined basis, the trading desks seek to achieve the same net unit price of the securities for each participating client. Because a pro-rata allocation may not always adequately accommodate all facts and circumstances, the guidelines provide for exceptions to allocate trades on an adjusted basis, which may include a system-generated random allocation. For example, adjustments may be made: (i) to eliminate de minimis positions; (ii) to give priority to accounts with specialized investment policies and objectives; and (iii) to reallocate in light of a participating portfolio`s characteristics (e.g., available cash, industry or issuer concentration, duration, credit exposure). With respect to any private placement transactions, conditions imposed by the issuer may limit availability of allocations to client accounts.

Miscellaneous

The brokerage allocation policies for T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International are generally applied to all of their fully discretionary accounts, which represent a substantial majority of all assets under management. Research services furnished by broker-dealers through which T. Rowe Price or T. Rowe Price International effect securities transactions may be used in servicing all accounts (including non-Price Funds) managed by T. Rowe Price or T. Rowe Price International. Therefore, research services received from broker-dealers that execute transactions for a particular fund will not necessarily be used by T. Rowe Price or T. Rowe Price International in connection with the management of that fund. The Price Funds do not allocate business to any broker-dealer on the basis of its sales of the funds` shares. However, this does not mean that broker-dealers who purchase fund shares for their clients will not receive business from the fund.

Since certain clients of T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International have similar investment objectives and programs to those of a particular Price Fund, T. Rowe Price or T. Rowe Price International may make recommendations to other clients that result in their purchasing or selling securities simultaneously with the fund. As a result, the demand for securities being purchased or the supply of securities being sold may increase, and this could have an adverse effect on the price of those securities. It is the policy of T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International not to favor one client over another in making recommendations or in placing orders. T. Rowe Price frequently follows the practice of grouping orders of various clients for execution. T. Rowe Price International may also follow this practice. Clients should be aware, however, that the grouping of their orders with other clients` orders may sometimes result in a more favorable price and at other times may result in a less favorable price than if the client orders had not been grouped. Where an aggregate order is executed in a series of transactions at various prices on a given day, each participating client`s proportionate share of such order will reflect the average price paid or received with respect to the total order.

T. Rowe Price may also include orders on behalf of the T. Rowe Price Associates Foundation, Inc. and the T. Rowe Price Program for Charitable Giving, Inc., not for profit entities, and the T. Rowe Price Savings Bank in aggregated orders from time to time.

T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International may give advice and take action for clients, including the Price Funds, which differs from advice given or the timing or nature of action taken for other clients. T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International are not obligated to initiate transactions for clients in any security that their principals, affiliates, or employees may purchase or sell for their own accounts or for other clients.

Purchase and sale transactions may be effected directly among and between non-ERISA client accounts (including affiliated mutual funds), provided no commission is paid to any broker-dealer, the security traded has readily available market quotations, and the transaction is effected at the independent current market price.

T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International have established the Equity and Fixed Income Brokerage and Trading Control Committee s , which are responsible for developing and monitoring brokerage policies and resolving questions relating to those policies.

T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International have established a general investment policy that they will ordinarily not make additional purchases of a common stock for their clients (including the Price funds) if, as a result of such purchases, 10% or more of the outstanding common stock of the issuer would be held by clients in the aggregate. In certain limited instances, however, T. Rowe Price or T. Rowe Price International may increase aggregate ownership to a maximum of 15% or more. All aggregate ownership decisions are reviewed by the appropriate oversight committee. For purposes of monitoring both of these limits, securities held by clients and clients of affiliated advisers are included.

Total Brokerage Commissions

For the fiscal years indicated, the total brokerage commissions paid by each fund, including the discounts received by securities dealers in connection with underwritings, and the percentage of these commissions paid to firms which provided research, statistical, or other services to T. Rowe Price or T. Rowe Price International in connection with the management of each fund that invests in equity securities , are shown below.

NOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

T. Rowe Price Real Assets Fund, Inc. (the fund) was organized on February 9, 2010, as a Maryland corporation and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. Through June 2 2 , 2010, the fund had no operations other than those matters related to organization and registration as an investment company, the registration of shares for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, and the sale of 10,000 shares of the fund at $10.00 per share on June 2 2 , 2010 to T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. via share exchange from a T. Rowe Price money market mutual fund. The exchange was settled in the ordinary course of business on June 2 2 , 2010 with the transfer of $100,000 cash.

The fund has entered into an investment management agreement with T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (the manager). Under the terms of the investment management agreement, the manager is required to bear all expenses of the fund, excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses, through April 30, 2013, which would otherwise cause the fund`s ratio of total expenses to average net assets (expense ratio) to exceed its expense limitation of 1.10%. For a period of three years after the date of any reimbursement or waiver, the fund is required to reimburse the manager for these expenses, provided that average net assets have grown or expenses have declined sufficiently to allow reimbursement without causing the fund`s expense ratio to exceed its expense limitation. Through June 2 2 , 2010, the fund incurred organization expenses in the approximate amount of $1,837, which the manager has paid on the fund`s behalf.

There are special risks in foreign investing. Certain of these risks are inherent in any mutual fund investing in foreign securities while others relate more to the countries in which the funds will invest. Many of the risks are more pronounced for investments in developing or emerging market countries, such as many of the countries of Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Russia . There is no universally accepted definition of a n emerging market country , but the f unds generally use the classification made by MSCI Barra, an independent party provider of investment tools and data services for institutions worldwide .

Political and Economic Factors Foreign investments involve risks unique to the local political, economic, and regulatory structures in place, as well as the potential for social instability, military unrest, or diplomatic developments that could prove adverse to the interests of U.S. investors. Individual foreign economies can differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency, and balance of payments position. In addition, significant external political and economic risks currently affect some foreign countries. For example, b oth Taiwan and China still claim sovereignty over one another and there is a demilitarized border and hostile relations between North and South Korea. War and terrorism affect many countries, especially those in Africa and the Middle East. M any countries throughout the world are dependent on a healthy U.S. economy and are adversely affected when the U.S. economy weakens or its markets decline . For example, in 2007 and 200 8 , the meltdown in the U.S. subprime mortgage market quickly spread throughout global credit markets, triggering a liquidity crisis that affected fixed-income and equity markets around the world . European countries can be significantly affected by the tight fiscal and monetary controls that the European Economic and Monetary Union ( "EMU" ) imposes for membership. Europe`s economies are diverse, its governments are decentralized, and its cultures vary widely. In 2010, several EU countries, including Greece, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, began to face budget issues , s ome of which may have negative long-term effects for the economies of those countries and other EU countries. T here is continued concern about national-level support for the euro and the accompanying coordination of fiscal and wage policy among EMU member countries. Member countries are required to maintain tight control over inflation, public debt, and budget deficit to qualify for membership in the EMU . These requirements can severely limit EMU member countries` ability to implement monetary policy to address regional economic conditions.

Governments in certain foreign countries continue to participate to a significant degree, through ownership interest or regulation, in their respective economies. Action by these governments could have a significant effect on market prices of securities and payment of dividends. The economies of many foreign countries are heavily dependent upon international trade and are accordingly affected by protective trade barriers and economic conditions of their trading partners. The enactment by these trading partners of protectionist trade legislation could have a significant adverse effect upon the securities markets of such countries.

Currency Fluctuations Investments in foreign securities will normally be denominated in foreign currencies. Accordingly, a change in the value of any such currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a corresponding change in the U.S. dollar value of the funds` assets denominated in that currency. Such changes will also affect the funds` income. Generally, when a given currency appreciates against the U.S. dollar (the U.S. dollar weakens), the value of the funds` securities denominated in that currency will rise. When a given currency depreciates against the U.S. dollar (the U.S. dollar strengthens), the value of the funds` securities denominated in that currency will decline.

Investment and Repatriation Restrictions Foreign investment in the securities markets of certain foreign countries is restricted or controlled to varying degrees. These restrictions limit and, at times, preclude investment in such countries and increase the cost and expenses of the funds. Investments by foreign investors are subject to a variety of restrictions in many developing countries. These restrictions may take the form of prior governmental approval, limits on the amount or type of securities held by foreigners, and limits on the types of companies in which foreigners may invest. Additional or different restrictions may be imposed at any time by these or other countries in which the funds invest. In addition, the repatriation of both investment income and capital from several foreign countries is restricted and controlled under certain regulations, including in some cases the need for certain government consents.

Market Characteristics Foreign securities markets are generally not as developed or efficient as, and more volatile than, those in the United States. While growing in volume, they usually have substantially less volume than U.S. markets and the funds` foreign portfolio securities may be less liquid and subject to more rapid and erratic price movements than securities of comparable U.S. companies. Foreign se curities may trade at price/

earnings multiples higher than comparable U.S. securities and such levels may not be sustainable. Commissions on foreign securities trades are generally higher than commissions on U.S. exchanges, and while there are an increasing number of overseas securities markets that have adopted a system of negotiated rates, a number are still subject to an established schedule of minimum commission rates. There is generally less government supervision and regulation of foreign securities exchanges, brokers, and listed companies than in the United States. Moreover, settlement practices for transactions in foreign markets may differ from those in U.S. markets. Such differences include delays beyond periods customary in the United States and practices, such as delivery of securities prior to receipt of payment, which increase the likelihood of a "failed settlement." Failed settlements can result in losses to the funds.

Depositary Receipts It is expected that most foreign securities will be purchased in over-the-counter markets or on securities exchanges located in the countries in which the issuers of the various securities are located, provided that is the best available market. However, the funds may also purchase American Depositary Receipts ( "ADRs" ) and Global Depositary Receipts ( "GDRs" ), which are certificates evidencing ownership of underlying foreign securities, as alternatives to directly purchasing the foreign securities in their local markets and currencies. An advantage of ADRs and GDRs is that investors do not have to buy shares through the issuing company`s home exchange, which may be difficult or expensive. ADRs and GDRs are subject to many of the same risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities.

Generally, ADRs are denominated in U.S. dollars and are designed for use in the U.S. securities markets. The depositaries that issue ADRs are usually U.S. financial institutions, such as a bank or trust company, but the underlying securities are issued by a foreign issuer.

GDRs may be issued in U.S. dollars or other currencies and are generally designed for use in securities markets outside the United States. GDRs represent shares of foreign securities that can be traded on the exchanges of the depositary`s country. The issuing depositary, which may be a foreign or a U.S. entity, converts dividends and the share price into the shareholder`s home currency.

For purposes of a fund`s investment policies, investments in ADRs and GDRs are deemed to be investments in the underlying securities. For example, an ADR representing ownership of common stock will be treated as common stock.

Participation Notes The funds may gain exposure to securities in certain foreign markets through investments in participation notes (" P-notes "). P-notes may be used while a fund is awaiting approval from a foreign exchange to trade securities directly or to invest in foreign markets that restrict foreign investors. For instance, f oreign investors such as the funds are restricted from investing directly in individual stocks traded on the Saudi stock exchange , but are permitted to access the Saudi Arabian marke t by purchasing P-notes . P-notes are generally issued by banks or broker-dealers and are designed to offer a return linked to a particular underlying equity security . An investment in a P-note involves additional risks beyond the risks normally associated with a direct investment in the underlying security and the P-note`s performance may differ from the underlying security`s performance . While the holder of a P-note is entitled to receive from the broker-dealer or bank any dividends paid by the underlying security, the holder is not entitled to the same rights as an owner of the underlying stock, such as voting rights. P-notes are considered general unsecured contractual obligations of the banks or broker-dealers that issue them as the counterparty. As such, the funds must rely on the creditworthiness of the counterparty for its investment returns on the P-notes and would have no rights against the issuer of the underlying security. T here is also no assurance that there will be a secondary trading market for a P-note or that the trading price of a P-note will equal the value of the underlying security. Additionally, issuers of P-notes and the calculation agent may have broad authority to control the foreign exchange rates related to the P-notes and discretion to adjust the P-note`s terms in response to certain events.

Investment Funds The funds may invest in investment funds which have been authorized by the governments of certain countries specifically to permit foreign investment in securities of companies listed and traded on the stock exchanges in these respective countries. Investment in these funds is subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act. If the funds invest in such investment funds, shareholders will bear not only their proportionate share of the expenses of the fund (including operating expenses and the fees of the investment manager), but also will indirectly bear similar expenses of the underlying investment funds. In addition, the securities of these investment funds may trade at a premium over their net asset value.

PAGE 227

Information and Supervision There is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies comparable to reports and ratings that are published about companies in the United States. Foreign companies are also generally not subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, practices, and requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies. It also is often more difficult to keep currently informed of corporate actions which affect the prices of portfolio securities.

Taxes The dividends and interest payable on certain of the funds` foreign portfolio securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, thus reducing the net amount of income available for distribution to the funds` shareholders. In addition, some governments may impose a tax on purchases by foreign investors of certain securities that trade in their country.

Costs Investors should understand that the expense ratios of a fund investing primarily in foreign securities can be expected to be higher than investment companies investing in domestic securities , since the cost of maintaining the custody of foreign securities and the rate of advisory fees paid by the fund is higher.

Other With respect to certain foreign countries, especially developing and emerging ones, there is the possibility of adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitations on the removal of funds or other assets of the funds, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments which could affect investments by U.S. persons in those countries.

Small Companies Small companies may have less experienced management and fewer management resources than larger firms. A smaller company may have greater difficulty obtaining access to capital markets and may pay more for the capital it obtains. In addition, smaller companies are more likely to be involved in fewer market segments, making them more vulnerable to any downturn in a given segment. Some of these factors may also apply, to a lesser extent, to medium-sized companies.

Emerging Europe, Middle East, and Africa

Political Instability Many formerly communist, eastern European countries have experienced significant political and economic reform in recent years, and the eastward expansion of the European Union could help anchor this reform process. However, the democratization process is still relatively new in a number of the smaller states and political turmoil and popular uprising s remain threat s . Russia has made advances in establishing a new political outlook and a market economy, but political risk remains high. Many Middle Eastern economies have little or no democratic tradition and are led by family structures. Opposition parties are often banned, leading to dissidence and militancy. Despite a growing trend toward a democratic process, many African nations have a history of dictatorship, military intervention, and corruption. In all regions, such developments, if they were to re c ur, could reverse favorable trends toward economic and market reform, privatization, and removal of trade barriers, and result in significant disruption s in securities markets.

Foreign Currency Certain countries in the region may have managed currencies which are pegged to the U.S. dollar or the euro, rather than at levels determined by the market. This type of system can lead to sudden and large adjustments in the currency, which may, in turn, have a disruptive and negative effect on investors. There is no significant foreign exchange market for certain currencies, and it would, as a result, be difficult for the funds to engage in foreign currency transactions designed to protect the value of the funds` interests in securities denominated in such currencies.

Energy/Resources Russia, the Middle East, and many African nations are highly reliant on income from oil sales. Oil prices can have a major impact on the domestic economy. Other commodities such as base and precious metals are also important to these economies. Fluctuating supply and demand can significantly impact the price of such commodities.

Latin America

Inflation Most Latin American countries have experienced, at one time or another, severe and persistent levels of inflation, including, in some cases, hyperinflation. This has, in turn, led to high interest rates, extreme measures by governments to keep inflation in check, and a generally debilitating effect on economic growth. Although inflation in many countries has lessened, there is no guarantee it will remain at lower levels.

Political Instability The political history of certain Latin American countries has been characterized by political uncertainty, intervention by the military in civilian and economic spheres, and political corruption. Such developments, if they were to re c ur, could reverse favorable trends toward market and economic reform, privatization, and removal of trade barriers, and result in significant disruption in securities markets.

Foreign Currency Certain Latin American countries may experience sudden and large adjustments in their currency which, in turn, can have a disruptive and negative effect on foreign investors. Certain Latin American countries may impose restrictions on the free conversion of their currency into foreign currencies, including the U.S. dollar. There is no significant foreign exchange market for many currencies and it would, as a result, be difficult for the funds to engage in foreign currency transactions designed to protect the value of the funds` interests in securities denominated in such currencies.

Sovereign Debt A number of Latin American countries have been among the largest debtors of developing countries. There have been moratoria on, and reschedulings of, repayment with respect to these debts. Such events can restrict the flexibility of these debtor nations in the international markets and result in the imposition of onerous conditions on their economies.

Japan

Japan has experienced earthquakes and tidal waves of varying degrees of severity, and the risks of such phenomena, and damage resulting therefrom, continue to exist. Japan also has one of the world`s highest population densities. A significant percentage of the total population of Japan is concentrated in the metropolitan areas of Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya. Therefore, a natural disaster centered in or very near to one of these cities could have a particularly devastating effect on Japan`s financial markets .

Energy Japan has historically depended on oil for most of its energy requirements. Almost all of its oil is imported, the majority from the Middle East. In the past, oil prices have had a major impact on the domestic economy, but more recently Japan has worked to reduce its dependence on oil by encouraging energy conservation and use of alternative fuels. In addition, a restructuring of industry, with emphasis shifting from basic industries to processing and assembly type industries, has contributed to the reduction of oil consumption. However, there is no guarantee that this favorable trend will continue.

Foreign Trade Overseas trade is important to Japan`s economy. Japan has few natural resources and must export to pay for its imports of these basic requirements. Because of the concentration of Japanese exports in highly visible products such as automobiles, machine tools, and semiconductors and the large trade surpluses ensuing therefrom, Japan has had difficult relations with its trading partners, particularly the U.S. It is possible that trade sanctions or other protectionist measures could impact Japan adversely in both the short term and long term.

Asia (ex-Japan)

Political Instability The political history of some Asian countries has been characterized by political uncertainty, intervention by the military in civilian and economic spheres, and political corruption. Such developments, if they continue to occur, could reverse favorable trends toward market and economic reform, privatization, and removal of trade barriers , and could result in significant disruption to securities markets.

Foreign Currency Certain Asian countries may have managed currencies which are maintained at artificial levels to the U.S. dollar rather than at levels determined by the market. This type of system can lead to sudden and large adjustments in the currency which, in turn, can have a disruptive and negative effect on foreign investors. Certain Asian countries also may restrict the free conversion of their currency into foreign currencies, including the U.S. dollar. There is no significant foreign exchange market for certain currencies, and it would, as a result, be difficult for the funds to engage in foreign currency transactions designed to protect the value of the funds` interests in securities denominated in such currencies.

Economy A number of Asian companies are highly dependent on foreign loans for their operation, some of which may impose strict repayment term schedules and require significant economic and financial restructuring.

PAGE 229

The economies of many countries in the region are heavily dependent on international trade and are accordingly affected by protective trade barriers and the economic conditions of their trading partners. China has had an increasingly significant and positive impact on the global economy, but its continued success depends on its ability to retain the legal and financial policies on that have fostered economic freedom and market expansion.

China A-Shares The China Securities Regulatory Commission (" CSRC ") may grant qualified foreign institutional investor (" QFII ") licenses, which allow foreign investments in A-shares on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges and certain other securities historically not eligible for investment by non-Chinese investors. Each QFII is authorized to invest in China A-shares only up to a specified quota established by the Chinese State Administration of Foreign Exchange (" SAFE "). T. Rowe Price International has received a QFII license permitting it to invest a portion of the assets of the Emerging Markets Stock, Institutional Emerging Markets Equity, International Discovery, and New Asia Funds in local Chinese securities. Although the laws of China permit the use of nominee accounts for clients of investment managers who are QFIIs, the Chinese regulators require the securities trading and settlement accounts to be maintained in the name of the QFII. It has been made clear to Chinese regulators, through T. Rowe Price International`s investment plan and compliance filings, that T. Rowe Price International is acting as investment manager only and that any assets invested in A-shares belong to the funds. The funds` custodian bank will maintain a specific sub-account for the A-share investments in the name of each fund. However, there is a risk that creditors of T. Rowe Price International may assert that T. Rowe Price International, and not the individual fund, is the legal owner of the securities and other assets in the accounts. If a court upholds such an assertion, creditors of T. Rowe Price International could seek payment from the funds` A-share investments.

Additional risks include a potential lack of liquidity, greater price volatility, and restrictions on the repatriation of invested capital. Because of low trading volume and various restrictions on the free flow of capital into the A- share market, the A-share market could be less liquid and trading prices of A-shares could be more volatile than other local securities markets. In addition, net realized profits on fund investments in A-shares may only be repatriated under certain conditions and upon the approval of SAFE.

Risk Factors of Investing in Taxable Debt Obligations

General

Yields on short-, intermediate-, and long-term securities are dependent on a variety of factors, including the general conditions of the money, bond, and foreign exchange markets; the size of a particular offering; the maturity of the obligation; and the rating of the issue. Debt securities with longer maturities tend to carry higher yields and are generally subject to greater capital appreciation and depreciation than obligations with shorter maturities and lower yields. The market prices of debt securities usually vary, depending upon available yields. An increase in interest rates will generally reduce the value of portfolio investments, and a decline in interest rates will generally increase the value of portfolio investments. The ability of funds investing in debt securities to achieve their investment objectives is also dependent on the continuing ability of the issuers of the debt securities in which the funds invest to meet their obligations for the payment of interest and principal when due.

After purchase by the funds, a debt security may cease to be rated or its rating may be reduced below the minimum required for purchase by the funds. Neither event will require a sale of such security by the funds. However, such events will be considered in determining whether the funds should continue to hold the security. To the extent that the ratings given by Moody`s, S&P, or others may change as a result of changes in such organizations or their rating systems, the funds will attempt to use comparable ratings as standards for investments in accordance with the investment policies contained in the prospectus. The ratings of Moody`s, S&P, and others represent their opinions as to the quality of securities that they undertake to rate. Ratings are not absolute standards of quality. When purchasing unrated securities, T. Rowe Price, under the supervision of the funds` Boards, determines whether the unrated security is of a quality comparable to that which the funds are allowed to purchase.

Full Faith and Credit Securities

Securities backed by the full faith and credit of the United States (for example, GNMA and U.S. Treasury securities) are generally considered to be among the most, if not the most, creditworthy investments available. While the U.S. government has honored its credit obligations continuously for the last 200 years, political events have, at times, called into question whether the United States would default on its obligations. Such an

event would be unprecedented and there is no way to predict its results on the securities markets or the funds. However, it is very likely that default by the United States would result in losses to the funds.

Mortgage Securities

Mortgage-backed securities, including Government National Mortgage Association ( "Ginnie Mae" or " GNMA " ) securities differ from conventional bonds in that principal is paid back over the life of the security rather than at maturity. As a result, the holder of a mortgage-backed security (i.e., a fund) receives monthly scheduled payments of principal and interest, and may receive unscheduled principal payments representing prepayments on the underlying mortgages. Therefore, GNMA securities may not be an effective means of "locking in" long- term interest rates due to the need for the funds to reinvest scheduled and unscheduled principal payments. The incidence of unscheduled principal prepayments is also likely to increase in mortgage pools owned by the funds when prevailing mortgage loan rates fall below the mortgage rates of the securities underlying the individual pool. The effect of such prepayments in a falling rate environment is to (1) cause the funds to reinvest principal payments at the then lower prevailing interest rate, and (2) reduce the potential for capital appreciation beyond the face amount of the security and adversely affect the return to the funds. Conversely, in a rising interest rate environment such prepayments can be reinvested at higher prevailing interest rates which will reduce the potential effect of capital depreciation to which bonds are subject when interest rates rise. When interest rates rise and prepayments decline, GNMA securities become subject to extension risk or the risk that the price of the securities will fluctuate more. In addition, prepayments of mortgage securities purchased at a premium (or discount) will cause such securities to be paid off at par, resulting in a loss (gain) to the funds. T. Rowe Price will actively manage the funds` portfolios in an attempt to reduce the risk associated with investment in mortgage-backed securities.

The market value of adjustable rate mortgage securities ( "ARMs" ), like other U.S. government securities, will generally vary inversely with changes in market interest rates, declining when interest rates rise and rising when interest rates decline. Because of their periodic adjustment feature, ARMs should be more sensitive to short-term interest rates than long-term rates. They should also display less volatility than long-term mortgage-backed securities. Thus, while having less risk of a decline during periods of rapidly rising rates, ARMs may also have less potential for capital appreciation than other investments of comparable maturities. Interest rate caps on mortgages underlying ARM s may prevent income on the ARM s from increasing to prevailing interest rate levels and cause the securities to decline in value. In addition, to the extent ARMs are purchased at a premium, mortgage foreclosures and unscheduled principal prepayments may result in some loss of the holders` principal investment to the extent of the premium paid. On the other hand, if ARMs are purchased at a discount, both a scheduled payment of principal and an unscheduled prepayment of principal will increase current and total returns and will accelerate the recognition of income that, when distributed to shareholders, will be taxable as ordinary income.

High-Yield Securities

Special Risks of Investing in Junk Bonds The following special considerations are additional risk factors of funds investing in lower-rated securities.

Lower-Rated Debt Securities Market An economic downturn or increase in interest rates is likely to have a greater negative effect on this market, the value of lower-rated debt securities in the funds` portfolios, the funds` net asset value and the ability of the bonds` issuers to repay principal and interest, meet projected business goals, and obtain additional financing than on higher-rated securities. These circumstances also may result in a higher incidence of defaults than with respect to higher-rated securities. Investment in funds which invest in lower-rated debt securities is more risky than investment in shares of funds which invest only in higher-rated debt securities.

Sensitivity to Interest Rate and Economic Changes Prices of lower-rated debt securities may be more sensitive to adverse economic changes or corporate developments than higher-rated investments. Debt securities with longer maturities, which may have higher yields, may increase or decrease in value more than debt securities with shorter maturities. Market prices of lower-rated debt securities structured as zero-coupon or pay-in-kind securities are affected to a greater extent by interest rate changes and may be more volatile than securities which pay interest periodically and in cash. Where it deems it appropriate and in the best interests of fund shareholders, the funds may incur additional expenses to seek recovery on a debt security on which the issuer has defaulted and to pursue litigation to protect the interests of security holders of its portfolio companies.

PAGE 231

Liquidity and Valuation Because the market for lower-rated securities may be thinner and less active than for higher-rated securities, there may be market price volatility for these securities and limited liquidity in the resale market. Nonrated securities are usually not as attractive to as many buyers as rated securities are, a factor which may make nonrated securities less marketable. These factors may have the effect of limiting the availability of the securities for purchase by the funds and may also limit the ability of the funds to sell such securities at their fair value either to meet redemption requests or in response to changes in the economy or the financial markets.

Adverse publicity and investor perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental analysis, may decrease the values and liquidity of lower-rated debt securities, especially in a thinly traded market. To the extent the funds own or may acquire illiquid or restricted lower-rated securities, these securities may involve special registration responsibilities, liabilities, costs, and liquidity and valuation difficulties. Changes in values of debt securities which the funds own will affect its net asset value per share. If market quotations are not readily available for the funds` lower-rated or nonrated securities, these securities will be valued by a method that the funds` Boards believe accurately reflects fair value. Judgment plays a greater role in valuing lower-rated debt securities than with respect to securities for which more external sources of quotations and last sale information are available.

Taxation Special tax considerations are associated with investing in lower-rated debt securities structured as zero-coupon or pay-in-kind securities. The funds accrue income on these securities prior to the receipt of cash payments. The funds must distribute substantially all of its income to its shareholders to qualify for pass- through treatment under the tax laws and may, therefore, have to dispose of portfolio securities to satisfy distribution requirements.

Risk Factors of Investing in Municipal Securities

General

Yields on municipal securities are dependent on a variety of factors, including the general conditions of the money market and the municipal bond market, the size of a particular offering, the maturity of the obligations, and the rating of the issue. Municipal securities with longer maturities tend to produce higher yields and are generally subject to potentially greater capital appreciation and depreciation than obligations with shorter maturities and lower yields. The market prices of municipal securities usually vary, depending upon available yields. An increase in interest rates will generally reduce the value of portfolio investments, and a decline in interest rates will generally increase the value of portfolio investments. The ability of all the funds to achieve their investment objectives is also dependent on the continuing ability of the issuers of municipal securities in which the funds invest to meet their obligations for the payment of interest and principal when due. The ratings of Moody`s, S&P, and Fitch IBCA, Inc. ( "Fitch" ) represent their opinions as to the quality of municipal securities which they undertake to rate. Ratings are not absolute standards of quality; consequently, municipal securities with the same maturity, coupon, and rating may have different yields. There are variations in municipal securities, both within a particular classification and between classifications, depending on numerous factors. Moody`s and Fitch recently recalibrated their ratings of municipal securities so the y could use a single ratings scale for both municipal and corporate debt securities. This resulted in upgrade s to r ating s of certain municipal issuers based on the change in methodology a n d not on improvements in credit quality. It should also be pointed out that, unlike other types of investments, offerings of municipal securities have traditionally not been subject to regulation by, or registration with, the SEC, although there have been proposals which would provide for regulation in the future.

The federal bankruptcy statutes relating to the debts of political subdivisions and authorities of states of the United States provide that, in certain circumstances, such subdivisions or authorities may be authorized to initiate bankruptcy proceedings without prior notice to or consent of creditors, which proceedings could result in material and adverse changes in the rights of holders of their obligations.

Proposals have been introduced in Congress to restrict or eliminate the federal income tax exemption for interest on municipal securities, and similar proposals may be introduced in the future. Proposed "Flat Tax" and "Value Added Tax" proposals would also have the effect of eliminating the tax preference for municipal securities. Some of the past proposals would have applied to interest on municipal securities issued before the date of enactment, which would have adversely affected their value to a material degree. If such a proposal were enacted, the availability of municipal securities for investment by the funds and the value of a fund`s portfolio would be affected and, in such an event, the funds would reevaluate their investment objectives and policies.

Also, recent changes to tax laws broadly lowering tax rates, including lower tax rates on dividends and capital gains, could have a negative impact on the desirability of owning municipal securities.

Although the banks and securities dealers with which the funds will transact business will be banks and securities dealers that T. Rowe Price believes to be financially sound, there can be no assurance that they will be able to honor their obligations to the funds with respect to such transactions.

Municipal Bond Insurance The funds may purchase insured bonds from time to time. Municipal bond insurance provides an unconditional and irrevocable guarantee that the insured bond`s principal and interest will be paid when due. Insurance does not guarantee the price of the bond. The guarantee is purchased from a private, nongovernmental insurance company.

There are two types of insured securities that may be purchased by the funds: bonds carrying either (1) new issue insurance; or (2) secondary insurance. New issue insurance is purchased by the issuer of a bond in an effort to improve the bond`s credit rating. By meeting the insurer`s standards and paying an insurance premium based on the bond`s principal value, the issuer may be able to obtain a higher credit rating for the bond. The credit rating assigned to an insured municipal bond will usually reflect the financial strength of the issuer or insurer, which ever is higher. Once purchased, municipal bond insurance cannot be canceled, and the protection it affords continues as long as the bonds are outstanding and the insurer remains solvent.

The funds may also purchase bonds that carry secondary insurance purchased by an investor after a bond`s original issuance. Such policies insure a security for the remainder of its term. Generally, the funds expect that portfolio bonds carrying secondary insurance will have been insured by a prior investor. However, the funds may, on occasion, purchase secondary insurance on their own behalf.

Each of the municipal bond insurance companies has established reserves to cover estimated losses. Both the method of establishing these reserves and the amount of the reserves vary from company to company. The risk that a municipal bond insurance company may experience a claim extends over the life of each insured bond. Municipal bond insurance companies are obligated to pay a bond`s interest and principal when due if the issuing entity defaults on the insured bond. D efaults on insured municipal bonds have been fairly low to date, but certain of these insurers` ratings have been downgraded and they are no longer insuring newly issued bonds. It is possible that there could be additional insurer downgrades and that default rates on insured bonds could increase substantially, which could further deplete an insurer`s loss reserves and adversely affect the ability of a municipal bond insurer to pay claims to holders of insured bonds, such as the funds. The inability of an insurer to pay a particular claim, or a downgrade of the insurer`s rating, could adversely affect the values of all the bonds it insures despite the quality of the underlying issuer . The number of municipal bond insurers is relatively small and, therefore, a significant amount of a municipal bond fund`s assets may be insured by a single issuer.

High-Yield Securities Lower-quality bonds, commonly referred to as "junk bonds," are regarded as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer`s continuing ability to meet principal and interest payments. Because investment in low- and lower-medium-quality bonds involves greater investment risk, to the extent the funds invest in such bonds, achievement of their investment objectives will be more dependent on T. Rowe Price`s credit analysis than would be the case if the funds were investing in higher-quality bonds. High- yield bonds may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic conditions than investment-grade bonds. A projection of an economic downturn or higher interest rates, for example, could cause a decline in high-yield bond prices because the advent of such events could lessen the ability of highly leveraged issuers to make principal and interest payments on their debt securities. In addition, the secondary trading market for high-yield bonds may be less liquid than the market for higher-grade bonds, which can adversely affect the ability of the funds to dispose of their portfolio securities. Bonds for which there is only a "thin" market can be more difficult to value inasmuch as objective pricing data may be less available, and judgment may play a greater role in the valuation process.

Risk Factors of Investing in Taxable and Tax-Free Money Market Funds

The T. Rowe Price money market funds will limit their purchases of portfolio instruments to those U.S. dollar- denominated securities which the funds` Boards determine present minimal credit risk and which are eligible securities as defined in Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Eligible securities are generally securities which have been rated (or whose issuer has been rated or whose issuer has comparable securities rated) in one of the two highest

PAGE 233

short-term rating categories (which may include sub-categories) by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (" NRSROs ") or, in the case of any instrument that is not so rated, is of comparable high quality as determined by T. Rowe Price pursuant to written guidelines established under the supervision of the funds` Boards. In addition, the funds may treat variable and floating rate instruments with demand features as short- term securities pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act.

There can be no assurance that the funds will achieve their investment objectives or be able to maintain their net asset values per share at $1.00. T he price of the funds is not guaranteed or insured by the U.S. government and their yields are not fixed. While the funds invest in high-grade money market instruments, investment in the funds is not without risk even if all portfolio instruments are paid in full at maturity. An increase in interest rates could reduce the value of the funds` portfolio investments, and a decline in interest rates could increase the value.

State Tax-Free Funds

The following information about the s tate t ax- f ree f unds is updated in June of each year. More current information is available in shareholder reports for these funds.

California Tax-Free Bond and California Tax-Free Money Funds

Risk Factors Associated with a California Portfolio

The funds` concentration in the debt obligations of a single state carries a higher risk than a portfolio that is more geographically diversified.

Types of Municipal Debt The funds invest in municipal bonds and other municipal debt instruments issued by the state of California and its various political subdivisions and agencies. The issuers of these debt obligations include the state of California and its agencies and authorities, counties and municipalities and their agencies and authorities, various California public institutions of higher education, and certain California not-for-profit organizations (e.g., hospitals, private colleges, and nursing homes). The credit quality and risk s of these investments will vary according to each security`s structure and underlying economics.

Debt is issued for a wide variety of public purposes, including transportation, housing, education, electric power, and healthcare. The state of California, and its local governments, agencies and authorities, issue two basic types of debt: general obligation bonds and revenue bonds. General obligation bonds are backed by the unlimited taxing power of the issuer. However, bonds issued by certain counties, municipalities, and agencies of the state and local government are not backed by the full faith and credit of the state. Revenue bonds are typically secured by specific pledged fees or charges for a related project, such as fees generated from the use of facilities or enterprises financed by the bonds. As part of its cash management program, the state regularly issues short-term notes to meet its disbursement requirements in advance of the receipt of revenues. Included within the revenue bond sector are tax-exempt lease obligations that are subject to annual appropriations of a governmental body, usually with no implied tax or specific revenue pledge. Local governments also raise capital through the use of Mello-Roos, 1915 Act Bonds, and Tax Increment Bonds, all of which are generally riskier than general obligation debt as they often rely on tax revenues to be generated by future development for their support.

The funds may also invest in private activity bond issues for corporate and nonprofit borrowers. Sold through various governmental conduits, these issues are backed solely by the revenues pledged by the respective borrowing corporations. No governmental support is provided or implied.

Political and Legislative Conditions Certain provisions of the California state constitution and state statutes limit the taxing and spending authority of California governmental entities, thus affecting their ability to meet debt service obligations. For example, the constitution limits ad valorem taxes on real property to 1% of "full cash value" and restricts the ability of taxing entities to increase real property taxes. It also prohibits the state from spending revenues beyond its annually adjusted "appropriations limit." Yet another provision further restricts the ability of local governments to levy and collect existing and future taxes, assessments, and fees. In addition to limiting the financial flexibility of local governments in the state, the provision also increases the possibility of voter-determined tax rollbacks and repeals.

One effect of the tax and spending limitations in California has been a broad scale shift by local governments away from general obligation debt requiring voter approval and pledging of future tax revenues toward lease

revenue financing that is subject to abatement and does not require voter approval. Lease-backed debt is generally viewed as a less secure form of borrowing and therefore entails greater credit risk.

Future initiatives, if proposed and adopted, or future court decisions could create renewed pressure on California governments and their ability to raise revenues. Although Orange County notably filed for protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in 1994, overall the state and its underlying governments have displayed flexibility in overcoming the negative effects of past initiatives.

Economic and Financial Conditions To a large degree, the credit risk of the portfolio s is dependent upon the financial strength of the state of California, its localities and agencies. Financial strength is, in turn, influenced by changing economic conditions which affect the level of taxes collected and revenues earned. While California`s economy has been diverse and resilient, and is typically the largest among the 50 states, the state of California is also normally among the most highly indebted states in the nation. The state has historically experienced more extreme swings in employment levels and property values relative to the rest of the country. In addition, California is more prone to earthquakes, which can result in sudden economic downturns and the unexpected inability of issuers to meet their obligations. More detailed information regarding economic conditions and the financial strength of California is available in the funds` annual and semi-annual shareholder reports.

Sectors Investment concentration in a particular sector can present unique risks. For example, a significant portion of the funds` assets may be invested in issues related to health care providers. T he hospital industry has been under significant pressure to reduce expenses and shorten length of hospital stays, a phenomenon that has negatively affected the financial health of some hospitals. All hospitals are dependent on third-party reimbursement mechanisms that are typically complex, subject to numerous conditions, and uncertain as to how long they will continue.

The funds may from time to time invest in electric revenue issues. The financial performance of these utilities was impacted by the industry`s moves toward deregulation and increased competition. California`s original electric utility restructuring plan proved to be flawed as it placed over-reliance on the spot market for power purchases during a period of substantial supply and demand imbalance. Now that deregulation has been suspended, municipal utilities face a more traditional set of challenges. In particular, some electric revenue issuers have exposure to or participate in nuclear power plants, which could affect the issuer`s financial performance. Other risks include unexpected outages, plant shutdowns, and more stringent environmental regulations.

Georgia Tax-Free Bond Fund

Risk Factors Associated with a Georgia Portfolio

The fund`s concentration in the debt obligations of a single state carries a higher risk than a portfolio that is more geographically diversified.

Types of Municipal Debt The fund invests in municipal bonds and other municipal debt instruments issued by the state of Georgia and its various political subdivisions and agencies. The issuers of these debt obligations include the state of Georgia and its agencies and authorities, counties and municipalities and their agencies and authorities, various Georgia public institutions of higher education, and certain Georgia not-for-profit organizations (e.g., hospitals, private colleges, and nursing homes). The credit quality and risk s of these investments will vary according to each security`s structure and underlying economics.

The state of Georgia, and its local governments, agencies and authorities, issue two basic types of debt: general obligation bonds and revenue bonds. General obligation bonds are backed by the unlimited taxing power of the issuer. However, bonds issued by certain counties, municipalities, and agencies of the state and local government are not backed by the full faith and credit of the state and may or may not be subject to annual appropriations from the state`s general fund. Revenue bonds are typically secured by specific pledged fees or charges for a related project, such as fees generated from the use of facilities or enterprises financed by the bonds. Included within the revenue b ond sector are tax-exempt lease obligations that are subject to annual appropriations of a governmental body, usually with no implied tax or specific revenue pledge.

The Georgia Constitution imposes certain debt limits and controls. The state`s general obligation debt service cannot exceed 10% of total revenue receipts less refunds of the state treasury and state-issued general obligation

PAGE 235

bonds have a 25-year maturity limit. The state also established "debt affordability" limits which provide that outstanding debt will not exceed 2.7% of personal income or that maximum annual debt service will not exceed 5% of the prior year`s revenues.

The fund may also invest in private activity bond issues for corporate and nonprofit borrowers. Sold through various governmental conduits, these issues are backed solely by the rev enues pledged by the respective borrowing corporations. No governmental support is provided or implied.

Economic and Financial Conditions To a large degree, the credit risk of the portfolio is dependent upon the financial strength of the state of Georgia, its localities and agencies. Financial strength is, in turn, influenced by changing economic conditions which affect the level of taxes collected and revenues earned. While local governments in Georgia are primarily reliant on independent revenue sources, such as property taxes, they are not immune to budget shortfalls caused by cutbacks in state aid. More detailed information regarding economic conditions and the financial strength of Georgia is available in the fund`s annual and semi-annual shareholder reports.

The fund may from time to time invest in electric revenue issues that have exposure to or participate in nuclear power plants, which could affect the issuer`s financial performance. Such risks include delay in construction and operation due to increased regulation, unexpected outages or plant shutdowns, increased Nuclear Regulatory Commission surveillance, or inadequate rate relief. In addition, the financial performance of electric utilities may be impacted by increased competition and deregulation of the industry.

The fund may invest in issues related to life care, which includes nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and continuing care retirement communities. These bonds are typically issued with longer-term maturities, although they are usually callable by the issuer on prescribed dates before maturity. Many life care municipal bonds are considered below investment-grade or are not rated by a credit rating agency. Reasons for the higher credit risk include uncertainty over future regulations and Medicaid funding, increased competition, and a lack of affordability.

Maryland Short-Term Tax-Free Bond, Maryland Tax-Free Bond, and Maryland Tax-Free Money Funds

Risk Factors Associated with a Maryland Portfolio

The funds` concentration in the debt obligations of a single state carries a higher risk than a portfolio that is more geographically diversified.

Types of Municipal Debt The funds invest in municipal bonds and other municipal debt instruments issued by the state of Maryland and its various political subdivisions and agencies. The issuers of these debt obligations include the state of Maryland and its agencies and authorities, counties and municipalities and their agencies and authorities, various Maryland public institutions of higher education, and certain Maryland not-for-profit organizations (e.g., hospitals, private colleges, and nursing homes). The credit quality and risk s of these investments will vary according to each security`s structure and underlying economics.

The state of Maryland, and its local governments, agencies and authorities, issue two basic types of debt: general obligation bonds and revenue bonds. General obligation bonds are backed by the unlimited taxing power of the issuer. However, many counties, municipalities, and agencies of the state and local government are authorized to borrow money under laws expressly providing that the loan obligations are not debts or pledges of the full faith and credit of the state. The state constitution imposes a 15-year maturity limit on state-issued general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds are typically secured by specific pledged fees or charges for a related project, such as fees generated from the use of facilities or enterprises financed by the bonds. Included within the revenue bond sector are tax-exempt lease obligations that are subject to annual appropriations of a governmental body, usually with no implied tax or specific revenue pledge.

Economic and Financial Conditions To a large degree, the credit risk of the portfolio s is dependent upon the financial strength of the s tate of Maryland, its localities and agencies. Financial strength is, in turn, influenced by changing economic conditions which affect the level of taxes collected and revenues earned.

New Jersey Tax-Free Bond Fund

Risk Factors Associated with a New Jersey Portfolio

The fund`s concentration in the debt obligations of a single state carries a higher risk than a portfolio that is more geographically diversified.

Types of Municipal Debt The fund invests in municipal bonds and other municipal debt instruments issued by the state of New Jersey and its various political subdivisions and agencies. The issuers of these debt obligations include the state of New Jersey and its agencies and authorities, counties and municipalities and their agencies and authorities, various New Jersey public institutions of higher education, and certain New Jersey not-for-profit organizations (e.g., hospitals, private colleges, and nursing homes). The credit quality and risk s of these investments will vary according to each security`s structure and underlying economics.

The state of New Jersey, and its local governments, agencies and authorities, issue two basic types of debt: general obligation bonds and revenue bonds. General obligation bonds are backed by the unlimited taxing power of the issuer. However, many counties, municipalities, and agencies of the state and local government are authorized to borrow money under laws expressly providing that the loan obligations are not debts or pledges of the full faith and credit of the state. Revenue bonds are typically secured by specific pledged fees or charges for a related project, such as fees generated from the use of facilities or enterprises financed by the bonds. Included within the revenue bond sector are tax-exempt lease obligations that are subject to annual appropriations of a governmental body, usually with no implied tax or specific revenue pledge.

The majority of the state`s debt is "appropriation-backed." This means that the debt service payments on these obligations must be funded annually by the state legislature, but the legislature has no legal obligation to continue to make such appropriations.

The fund may also invest in private activity bond issues for corporate and nonprofit borrowers. These issues are sold through various governmental conduits, such as the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and various local issuers, and are backed solely by the revenues pledged by the respective borrowing corporations.

PAGE 237

No governmental support is provided or implied. In the past, a number of New Jersey Economic Development Authority issues have defaulted as a result of borrower financial difficulties.

Economic and Financial Conditions To a large degree, the credit risk of the portfolio is dependent upon the financial strength of the state of New Jersey, its localities and agencies. Financial strength is, in turn, influenced by changing economic conditions which affect the level of taxes collected and revenues earned. More detailed information regarding economic conditions and the financial strength of New Jersey is available in the fund`s annual and semi-annual shareholder reports.

Virginia Tax-Free Bond Fund

Risk Factors Associated with a Virginia Portfolio

The fund`s concentration in the debt obligations of a single state carries a higher risk than a portfolio that is more geographically diversified.

Types of Municipal Debt The fund invests in municipal bonds and other municipal debt instruments issued by the commonwealth of Virginia and its various political subdivisions and agencies. The issuers of these debt obligations include the commonwealth of Virginia and its agencies and authorities, counties and municipalities and their agencies and authorities, various Virginia public institutions of higher education, and certain Virginia not-for-profit organizations (e.g., hospitals, private colleges, and nursing homes). The credit quality and risk s of these investments will vary according to each security`s structure and underlying economics.

Debt is issued for a wide variety of public purposes, including transportation, housing, education, healthcare, and industrial development. The commonwealth of Virginia, and its local governments, agencies and authorities, issue two basic types of debt: general obligation bonds and revenue bonds. General obligation bonds are backed by the unlimited taxing power of the issuer. Under Virginia law, general obligation debt is limited to 1.15 times the average of the preceding three years` income tax and sales and use collections. However, bonds issued by many counties, municipalities, and agencies of the commonwealth and local government are not backed by the full faith and credit of the commonwealth but instead are subject to annual appropriations from the commonwealth`s general fund. Revenue bonds are typically secured by specific pledged fees or charges for a related project, such as fees generated from the use of facilities or enterprises financed by the bonds. Included within the revenue bond sector are tax-exempt lease obligations that are subject to annual appropriations of a governmental body, usually with no implied tax or specific revenue pledge.

The fund may also invest in private activity bond issues for corporate and nonprofit borrowers. Sold through various governmental conduits, these issues are backed solely by the revenues pledged by the respective borrowing corporations. No governmental support is provided or implied.

All State Tax-Free Funds

Puerto Rico From time to time, the funds may invest in obligations of the commonwealth of Puerto Rico and its public corporations, the interest of which may be exempt from U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes. As of May 28, 2010 , the general obligation debt of Puerto Rico was rated A3 by Moody`s and BBB- by S&P. Both agencies have assigned stable outlooks to the ratings. The credit ratings reflect, in part, their concerns regarding a weak economy, structural budget imbalance, and rising debt burden.

Debt As of June 30, 200 9 , the outstanding debt of Puerto Rico borrowers totaled $ 53 billion. This include s bonds supported by the commonwealth `s general obligation pledge, appropriations or guarantee ; public corporations such as highways, water and sewer, and electric power , and municipalities .

Guaranteed direct obligations of the commonwealth supported by a general obligation pledge are subject to strict limitations imposed by the commonwealth`s constitution. Debts of its municipalities are typically supported by property taxes and municipal license taxes, with support from the commonwealth, if necessary. Debts of its public corporations are generally supported by the entity `s revenues or by the commonwealth appropriations or taxes.

Though different measures suggest Puerto Rico`s debt burden is high relative to a U.S. state, the c ommonwealth issues or supports bonds on behalf of municipalities and other governmental units. In many cases, this type of debt would be issued by local government or public agencies which are independent entities in the U . S . One measure to monitor the commonwealth debt levels is by comparing the rate of growth of its debt to the rate of growth of its gross domestic product ( "GDP" ). For the five -year period that ended in June 200 9 , total public sector debt increased by 44 % , whereas nominal- GDP rose by 1 7 %.

Economy Puerto Rico`s economy is closely linked to the U nited States. Like the United States, the commonwealth has been experiencing an economic recession. Government officials estimate that the economy (as measured by real GNP) contracted 2.8 % in 200 8 and 3.7 % in 200 9 and will probably stabilize somewhat over the next two years due to U.S. and local stimulus plans .

Manufacturing, especially pharmaceuticals, is very important to the local economy. M anufacturing accounted for 4 5 % of GDP in 200 9 , and 10% of non-farm payroll employment . Services are another component of the local economy, and represented 4 2 % of GDP and 55% of employment. Tourism is an important sub-sector of services, and an important driver of the Puerto Rico`s economy. While t he number of tourists decreased 5.7 % between 200 5 and 200 9 , visitors` expenditures increased 7.2 % over this period .

For many years, U.S. companies operating in Puerto Rico were eligible to receive special tax treatment. Since 1976, Section 936 of the U.S. tax code entitled certain corporations to credit income derived from business activities in the commonwealth against their U nited S tates corporate income tax and spurred significant expansion in capital intensive manufacturing, particularly large pharmaceutical firms. The tax benefits, however, were eliminated beginning with the 2006 tax year. While the ultimate impact of the phase outs is being evaluated, indications are that major pharmaceutical, instrument, and electronic manufacturing firms have not exited the market , but employment in this sector is trending down ward .

Financial Government officials estimate that general fund revenues were $ 7.8 billion and expenditures were $ 11.3 billion in fiscal year 200 9 (yielding a deficit of $3.5 billion) . A new governor for the commonwealth was elected in November 2008. The governor and his administration are implementing various fiscal measures, including borrowing s and stimulus plans and expense re-structuring and payrol l cuts i n an effort to reduce the gap over the next few years. A balanced budget is projected for fiscal year 2013.

P ortfolio Securities

Types of Securities

Set forth below is additional information about certain of the investments described in the funds` prospectuses.

Equity Securities

Common and preferred stocks both represent an equity or ownership interest in an issuer. Common stock typically entitles the owner to vote on the election of directors and other important matters while preferred stock does not ordinarily carry voting rights. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of secured and unsecured creditors and owners of bonds take precedence over the claims of those who own preferred stock, and the owners of preferred stock take precedence over the claims of those who own common stock.

Although owners of common stock are typically entitled to receive any dividends on such stock, owners of common stock participate in company profits on a pro-rata basis. Profits may be paid out in dividends or reinvested in the company to help it grow. Because increases and decreases in earnings are usually reflected in a company`s stock price, common stocks generally have the greatest appreciation and depreciation potential of all corporate securities.

Preferred stock, unlike common stock, often has a stated dividend rate payable from the corporation`s earnings. Preferred stock dividends may be cumulative or non-cumulative, participating or non-participating, or adjustable rate. Cumulative dividend provisions require all or a portion of prior unpaid dividends to be paid before dividends can be paid to the issuer`s common stock, while a passed dividend on non-cumulative preferred stock is generally gone forever. Participating preferred stock may be entitled to a dividend exceeding the declared dividend in certain cases, while non-participating preferred stock is limited to the stipulated dividend. Adjustable rate preferred stock pays a dividend that is adjustable, usually quarterly, based on changes in certain interest rates. Convertible preferred stock is exchangeable for a specified number of common stock shares and is typically more volatile than non-convertible preferred stock, which tends to behave more like a bond.

Stock may be purchased on a "when-issued" basis, which is used to refer to a security that has not yet been issued but that will be issued in the future. The term may be used for new stocks and stocks that have split but have not yet started trading.

Debt Securities

U.S. Government Obligations Bills, notes, bonds, and other debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury. These are direct obligations of the U.S. government and differ mainly in the length of their maturities.

U.S. Government Agency Securities Issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises and federal agencies. These include securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association ( "Fannie Mae" or "FNMA" ), GNMA, Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Land Banks, Farmers Home Administration, Banks for Cooperatives, Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, Federal Financing Bank, Farm Credit Banks, the Small

PAGE 241

Business Association, and the Tennessee Valley Authority. Some of these securities are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury; the remainder are supported only by the credit of the instrumentality, which may or may not include the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury. These also include securities issued by eligible private depository institutions and guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) under its Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program .

Bank Obligations Certificates of deposit, banker`s acceptances, and other short-term debt obligations. Certificates of deposit are short-term obligations of commercial banks. A banker`s acceptance is a time draft drawn on a commercial bank by a borrower, usually in connection with international commercial transactions. Certificates of deposit may have fixed or variable rates. The funds may invest in U.S. banks, foreign branches of U.S. banks, U.S. branches of foreign banks, and foreign branches of foreign banks.

Savings and Loan Obligations Negotiable certificates of deposit and other short-term debt obligations of savings and loan associations.

Supranational Agencies Securities of certain supranational entities, such as the International Development Bank.

Corporate Debt Securities Outstanding corporate debt securities (e.g., bonds and debentures). Corporate notes may have fixed, variable, or floating rates.

Short-Term Corporate Debt Securities Outstanding nonconvertible corporate debt securities (e.g., bonds and debentures) which have one year or less remaining to maturity. Corporate notes may have fixed, variable, or floating rates.

Commercial Paper and Commercial Notes Short-term promissory notes issued by corporations primarily to finance short-term credit needs. Certain notes may have floating or variable rates and may contain options, exercisable by either the buyer or the seller, that extend or shorten the maturity of the note.

Foreign Government Securities Issued or guaranteed by a foreign government, province, instrumentality, political subdivision, or similar unit thereof.

Funding Agreements Obligations of indebtedness negotiated privately between the funds and an insurance company. Often such instruments will have maturities with unconditional put features, exercisable by the funds, requiring return of principal within one year or less.

There are, of course, other types of securities that are or may become available that are similar to the foregoing, and the funds may invest in these securities.

Mortgage-Related Securities

Mortgage-Backed Securities Mortgage-backed securities are securities representing an interest in a pool of mortgages. The mortgages may be of a variety of types, including adjustable rate, conventional 30-year and 15- year fixed rate, and graduated payment mortgages . Principal and interest payments made on the mortgages in the underlying mortgage pool are passed through to the funds. This is in contrast to traditional bonds where principal is normally paid back at maturity in a lump sum. Unscheduled prepayments of principal shorten the securities` weighted average life and may lower their total return. (When a mortgage in the underlying mortgage pool is prepaid, an unscheduled principal prepayment is passed through to the funds. This principal is returned to the funds at par. As a result, if a mortgage security were trading at a premium, its total return would be lowered by prepayments, and if a mortgage security were trading at a discount, its total return would be increased by prepayments.) The value of these securities also may change because of changes in the market`s perception of the creditworthiness of the federal agency that issued them or a downturn in housing prices . In addition, the mortgage securities market in general may be adversely affected by changes in governmental regulation or tax policies.

U.S. Government Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities These are obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or one of its agencies or instrumentalities, such as GNMA, FNMA, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ( "Freddie Mac" or "FHLMC" ), and the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation ( "Farmer Mac" or "FAMC" ). FNMA, FHLMC, and FAMC obligations are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government as GNMA certificates are, but they are supported by the instrumentality`s right to borrow from the U.S. Treasury. On September 7, 2008, FNMA and FHLMC were placed under conservatorship

of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, an independent federal agency. U.S. Government Agency Mortgage- Backed Certificates provide for the pass-through to investors of their pro-rata share of monthly payments (including any prepayments) made by the individual borrowers on the pooled mortgage loans, net of any fees paid to the guarantor of such securities and the servicer of the underlying mortgage loans. Each of GNMA, FNMA, FHLMC, and FAMC guarantees timely distributions of interest to certificate holders. GNMA and FNMA guarantee timely distributions of scheduled principal. FHLMC has in the past guaranteed only the ultimate collection of principal of the underlying mortgage loan; however, FHLMC now issues mortgage-backed securities (FHLMC Gold PCS) which also guarantee timely payment of monthly principal reductions.

GNMA Certificates GNMA is a wholly owned corporate instrumentality of the United States within the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The National Housing Act of 1934, as amended (the "Housing Act" ), authorizes GNMA to guarantee the timely payment of the principal of and interest on certificates that are based on and backed by a pool of mortgage loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration under the Housing Act, or Title V of the Housing Act of 1949 ( "FHA Loans" ), or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs under the Servicemen`s Readjustment Act of 1944, as amended ( "VA Loans" ), or by pools of other eligible mortgage loans. The Housing Act provides that the full faith and credit of the U.S. government is pledged to the payment of all amounts that may be required to be paid under any guaranty. In order to meet its obligations under such guaranty, GNMA is authorized to borrow from the U.S. Treasury with no limitations as to amount.

FNMA Certificates FNMA is a federally chartered and privately owned corporation organized and existing under the Federal National Mortgage Association Charter Act of 1938. FNMA Certificates represent a pro-rata interest in a group of mortgage loans purchased by FNMA. FNMA guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on the securities it issues. The obligations of FNMA are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

FHLMC Certificates FHLMC is a corporate instrumentality of the United States created pursuant to the Emergency Home Finance Act of 1970, as amended ( "FHLMC Act" ). FHLMC Certificates represent a pro- rata interest in a group of mortgage loans purchased by FHLMC. FHLMC guarantees timely payment of interest and principal on certain securities it issues and timely payment of interest and eventual payment of principal on other securities it issues. The obligations of FHLMC are obligations solely of FHLMC and are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

FAMC Certificates FAMC is a federally chartered instrumentality of the United States established by Title VIII of the Farm Credit Act of 1971, as amended ( "Charter Act" ). FAMC was chartered primarily to attract new capital for financing of agricultural real estate by making a secondary market in certain qualified agricultural real estate loans. FAMC provides guarantees of timely payment of principal and interest on securities representing interests in, or obligations backed by, pools of mortgages secured by first liens on agricultural real estate. Similar to FNMA and FHLMC, FAMC Certificates are not supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government; rather, FAMC may borrow from the U.S. Treasury to meet its guaranty obligations.

As discussed above, prepayments on the underlying mortgages and their effect upon the rate of return of a mortgage-backed security is the principal investment risk for a purchaser of such securities, like the funds. Over time, any pool of mortgages will experience prepayments due to a variety of factors, including (1) sales of the underlying homes (including foreclosures), (2) refinancings of the underlying mortgages, and (3) increased amortization by the mortgagee. These factors, in turn, depend upon general economic factors, such as level of interest rates and economic growth. Thus, investors normally expect prepayment rates to increase during periods of strong economic growth or declining interest rates, and to decrease in recessions and rising interest rate environments. Accordingly, the life of the mortgage-backed security is likely to be substantially shorter than the stated maturity of the mortgages in the underlying pool. Because of such variation in prepayment rates, it is not possible to predict the life of a particular mortgage-backed security, but FHA statistics indicate that 25- to 30-year single family dwelling mortgages have an average life of approximately 12 years. The majority of GNMA Certificates are backed by mortgages of this type, and, accordingly, the generally accepted practice treats GNMA Certificates as 30-year securities which prepay in full in the 12th year. FNMA and FHLMC Certificates may have differing prepayment characteristics.

PAGE 243

Fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities bear a stated "coupon rate" which represents the effective mortgage rate at the time of issuance, less certain fees to GNMA, FNMA, and FHLMC for providing the guarantee, and the issuer for assembling the pool and for passing through monthly payments of interest and principal.

Payments to holders of mortgage-backed securities consist of the monthly distributions of interest and principal less the applicable fees. The actual yield to be earned by a holder of mortgage-backed securities is calculated by dividing interest payments by the purchase price paid for the mortgage-backed securities (which may be at a premium or a discount from the face value of the certificate).

Monthly distributions of interest, as contrasted to semiannual distributions which are common for other fixed interest investments, have the effect of compounding and thereby raising the effective annual yield earned on mortgage-backed securities. Because of the variation in the life of the pools of mortgages which back various mortgage-backed securities, and because it is impossible to anticipate the rate of interest at which future principal payments may be reinvested, the actual yield earned from a portfolio of mortgage-backed securities will differ significantly from the yield estimated by using an assumption of a certain life for each mortgage- backed security included in such a portfolio as described above.

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities ("CMBS") These are securities created from a pool of commercial mortgage loans, such as loans for hotels, restaurants, shopping centers, office buildings, and apartment buildings. Interest and principal payments from the underlying loans are passed through to the funds according to a schedule of payments. CMBS are structured similarly to mortgage-backed securities in that both are backed by mortgage payments. However, CMBS involve loans related to commercial property, whereas mortgage- backed securities are based on loans relating to residential property. Because commercial mortgages tend to be structured with prepayment penalties, CMBS generally carry less prepayment risk than loans backed by residential mortgages. Credit quality depends primarily on the quality of the loans themselves and on the structure of the particular deal. However, the value of these securities may change because of actual or perceived changes in the creditworthiness of the individual borrowers, their tenants, and servicing agents, or due to deterioration in the general state of commercial real estate or overall economic conditions.

Collateralized Mortgage Obligations ("CMOs") CMOs are bonds that are collateralized by whole loan mortgages or mortgage pass-through securities. The bonds issued in a CMO deal are divided into groups, and each group of bonds is referred to as a "tranche." Under the traditional CMO structure, the cash flows generated by the mortgages or mortgage pass-through securities in the collateral pool are used to first pay interest and then pay principal to the CMO bondholders. The bonds issued under such a CMO structure are retired sequentially as opposed to the pro-rata return of principal found in traditional pass-through obligations. Subject to the various provisions of individual CMO issues, the cash flow generated by the underlying collateral (to the extent it exceeds the amount required to pay the stated interest) is used to retire the bonds. Under the CMO structure, the repayment of principal among the different tranches is prioritized in accordance with the terms of the particular CMO issuance. The "fastest-pay" tranche of bonds, as specified in the prospectus for the issuance, would initially receive all principal payments. When that tranche of bonds is retired, the next tranche, or tranches, in the sequence, as specified in the prospectus, receive all of the principal payments until they are retired. The sequential retirement of bond groups continues until the last tranche, or group of bonds, is retired. Accordingly, the CMO structure allows the issuer to use cash flows of long maturity, monthly pay collateral to formulate securities with short, intermediate, and long final maturities and expected average lives.

In recent years, new types of CMO tranches have evolved. These include floating-rate CMOs, planned amortization classes, accrual bonds, and CMO residuals. These newer structures affect the amount and timing of principal and interest received by each tranche from the underlying collateral. Under certain of these new structures, given classes of CMOs have priority over others with respect to the receipt of prepayments on the mortgages. Therefore, depending on the type of CMOs in which the funds invest, the investment may be subject to a greater or lesser risk of prepayment than other types of mortgage-related securities.

The primary risk of any mortgage security is the uncertainty of the timing of cash flows. For CMOs, the primary risk results from the rate of prepayments on the underlying mortgages serving as collateral and from the structure of the deal (priority of the individual tranches). An increase or decrease in prepayment rates (resulting from a decrease or increase in mortgage interest rates) will affect the yield, average life, and price of CMOs. The prices of certain CMOs, depending on their structure and the rate of prepayments, can be volatile. Some CMOs may also not be as liquid as other securities.

U.S. Government Agency Multi-Class Pass-Through Securities Unlike CMOs, U.S. Government Agency Multi- Class Pass-Through Securities, which include FNMA Guaranteed Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Pass-Through Certificates and FHLMC Multi-Class Mortgage Participation Certificates, are ownership interests in a pool of mortgage assets. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references herein to CMOs include multi-class pass-through securities.

Multi-Class Residential Mortgage Securities Such securities represent interests in pools of mortgage loans to residential home buyers made by commercial banks, savings and loan associations, or other financial institutions. Unlike GNMA, FNMA, and FHLMC securities, the payment of principal and interest on Multi-Class Residential Mortgage Securities is not guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies. Accordingly, yields on Multi-Class Residential Mortgage Securities have been historically higher than the yields on U.S. government mortgage securities. However, the risk of loss due to default on such instruments is higher since they are not guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies. Additionally, pools of such securities may be divided into senior or subordinated segments. Although subordinated mortgage securities may have a higher yield than senior mortgage securities, the risk of loss of principal is greater because losses on the underlying mortgage loans must be borne by persons holding subordinated securities before those holding senior mortgage securities.

Privately Issued Mortgage-Backed Certificates These are pass-through certificates issued by nongovernmental issuers. Pools of conventional residential or commercial mortgage loans created by such issuers generally offer a higher rate of interest than government and government-related pools because there are no direct or indirect government guarantees of payment. Timely payment of interest and principal of these pools is, however, generally supported by various forms of insurance or guarantees, including individual loan, title, pool, and hazard insurance. The insurance and guarantees are issued by government entities, private insurance, or the mortgage poolers. Such insurance and guarantees and the creditworthiness of the issuers thereof will be considered in determining whether a mortgage-related security meets the funds` quality standards. The funds may buy mortgage-related securities without insurance or guarantees if through an examination of the loan experience and practices of the poolers, the investment manager determines that the securities meet the funds` quality standards.

Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities These instruments are a type of potentially high-risk derivative. They represent interests in a pool of mortgages, the cash flow of which has been separated into its interest and principal components. Interest only securities ( "IOs" ) receive the interest portion of the cash flow while principal only securities ( "POs" ) receive the principal portion. IOs and POs are usually structured as tranches of a CMO. Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities may be issued by U.S. government agencies or by private issuers similar to those described above with respect to CMOs and privately issued mortgage-backed certificates. As interest rates rise and fall, the value of IOs tends to move in the same direction as interest rates. The value of the PO, as with other mortgage-backed securities described herein, and other debt instruments, will tend to move in the opposite direction compared to interest rates. Under the Code, POs may generate taxable income from the current accrual of original issue discount, without a corresponding distribution of cash to the funds.

The cash flows and yields on IO and PO classes are extremely sensitive to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets. In the case of IOs, prepayments affect the amount of cash flows provided to the investor. In contrast, prepayments on the mortgage pool affect the timing of cash flows received by investors in POs. For example, a rapid or slow rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on the prices of IOs or POs, respectively. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, investors may fail to fully recoup their initial investment in an IO class of a stripped mortgage-backed security, even if the IO class is rated AAA or Aaa or is derived from a full faith and credit obligation. Conversely, if the underlying mortgage assets experience slower than anticipated prepayments of principal, the price on a PO class will be affected more severely than would be the case with a traditional mortgage-backed security.

The staff of the SEC has advised the funds that it believes the funds should treat IOs and POs, other than government-issued IOs or POs backed by fixed-rate mortgages, as illiquid securities and, accordingly, limit their investments in such securities, together with all other illiquid securities, to 15% of the funds` net assets. Under the staff`s position, the determination of whether a particular government-issued IO or PO backed by fixed-rate mortgages is liquid may be made on a case by case basis under guidelines and standards established by the funds` Boards. The funds` Boards have delegated to T. Rowe Price the authority to determine the liquidity of

PAGE 245

these investments based on the following guidelines: the type of issuer; type of collateral, including age and prepayment characteristics; rate of interest on coupon relative to current market rates and the effect of the rate on the potential for prepayments; complexity of the issue`s structure, including the number of tranches; and size of the issue and the number of dealers who make a market in the IO or PO.

Adjustable Rate Mortgage Securities ( " ARMs " ) ARMs, like fixed-rate mortgages, have a specified maturity date, and the principal amount of the mortgage is repaid over the life of the mortgage. Unlike fixed-rate mortgages, the interest rate on ARMs is adjusted at regular intervals based on a specified, published interest rate "index" such as a Treasury rate index. The new rate is determined by adding a specific interest amount, the "margin," to the interest rate of the index. Investment in ARM s allows the funds to participate in changing interest rate levels through regular adjustments in the coupons of the underlying mortgages, resulting in more variable current income and lower price volatility than longer-term fixed-rate mortgage securities. ARM s are a less effective means of locking in long-term rates than fixed-rate mortgages since the income from adjustable rate mortgages will increase during periods of rising interest rates and decline during periods of falling rates.

Other Mortgage-Related Securities Governmental, government-related, or private entities may create mortgage loan pools offering pass-through investments in addition to those described above. The mortgages underlying these securities may be alternative mortgage instruments, that is, mortgage instruments whose principal or interest payments may vary or whose terms to maturity may differ from customary long-term fixed-rate mortgages. As new types of mortgage-related securities are developed and offered to investors, the investment manager will, consistent with the funds` objectives, policies, and quality standards, consider making investments in such new types of securities.

Asset-Backed Securities

Background The asset-backed securities ( " ABS " ) market has been one of the fastest growing sectors of the U.S. fixed-income market since its inception in late 1985. Although initial ABS transactions were backed by auto loans and credit card receivables, today`s market has evolved to include a variety of asset types including home equity loans, student loans, equipment leases, stranded utility costs, and collateralized bond/loan obligations. For investors, securitization typically provides an opportunity to invest in high-quality securities with higher credit ratings and less downgrade/event risk than corporate bonds. Unlike mortgages, prepayments on ABS collateral are less sensitive to changes in interest rates. They can also be structured into classes that meet the market`s demand for various maturities and credit quality.

Structure Asset-backed securities are bonds that represent an ownership interest in a pool of receivables sold by originators into a special purpose vehicle ( "SPV" ). The collateral types can vary, so long as they are secured by homogeneous assets with relatively predictable cash flows. Assets that are transferred through a sale to a SPV are legally separated from those of the seller/servicer, which insulates investors from bankruptcy or other event risk associated with the seller/servicer of those assets. Most senior tranches of ABS are structured to a triple-A rated level through credit enhancement ; however, ABS credit ratings range from AAA to non-investment-grade. Many ABS transactions are structured to include payout events/performance triggers which provide added protection against deteriorating credit quality.

ABS structures are generally categorized by two distinct types of collateral. Amortizing assets (such as home equity loans, auto loans, and equipment leases) typically pass through principal and interest payments directly to investors, while revolving assets (such as credit card receivables, home equity lines of credit, and dealer floor- plan loans) typically reinvest principal and interest payments in new collateral for a specified period of time. The majority of amortizing transactions are structured as straight sequential-pay transactions. In these structures, all principal amortization and prepayments are directed to the shortest maturity class until it is retired, then to the next shortest class and so on. The majority of revolving assets are structured as bullets, whereby investors receive periodic interest payments and only one final payment of principal at maturity.

Underlying Assets The asset-backed securities that may be purchased include securities backed by pools of mortgage-related receivables known as home equity loans, or of consumer receivables such as automobile loans or credit card loans. Other types of ABS may also be purchased. The credit quality of most asset-backed securities depends primarily on the credit quality of the assets underlying such securities, how well the entity issuing the securities is insulated from the credit risk of the originator or any other affiliated entities, and the amount and quality of any credit support provided to the securities. The rate of principal payment on asset- backed securities generally depends on the rate of principal payments received on the underlying assets, which

in turn may be affected by a variety of economic and other factors. As a result, the yield and return on any asset- backed security is difficult to predict with precision and actual return or yield to maturity may be more or less than the anticipated return or yield to maturity.

Methods of Allocating Cash Flows While some asset-backed securities are issued with only one class of security, many asset-backed securities are issued in more than one class, each with different payment terms. Multiple class asset-backed securities are issued for two main reasons. First, multiple classes may be used as a method of providing credit support. This is accomplished typically through creation of one or more classes whose right to payments on the asset-backed security is made subordinate to the right to such payments of the remaining class or classes. Second, multiple classes may permit the issuance of securities with payment terms, interest rates, or other characteristics differing both from those of each other and from those of the underlying assets. Asset- backed securities in which the payment streams on the underlying assets are allocated in a manner different than those described above may be issued in the future. The funds may invest in such asset-backed securities if the investment is otherwise consistent with the fund`s investment objectives, policies, and restrictions.

Types of Credit Support Asset-backed securities are typically backed by a pool of assets representing the obligations of a diversified pool of numerous obligors. To lessen the effect of failures by obligors on the ability of underlying assets to make payments, such securities may contain elements of credit support. Such credit support falls into two classes: liquidity protection and protection against ultimate default by an obligor on the underlying assets. Liquidity protection refers to the provision of advances, generally by the entity administering the pool of assets, to ensure that scheduled payments on the underlying pool are made in a timely fashion. Protection against ultimate default ensures ultimate payment of the obligations on at least a portion of the assets in the pool. Such protection may be provided through guarantees, insurance policies, or letters of credit obtained from third parties, "external credit enhancement , " through various means of structuring the transaction, "internal credit enhancement , " or through a combination of such approaches. Examples of asset- backed securities with credit support arising out of the structure of the transaction include:

Excess Spread Typically , the first layer of protection against losses, equal to the cash flow from the underlying receivables remaining after deducting the sum of the investor coupon, servicing fees, and losses.

Subordination Interest and principal that would have otherwise been distributed to a subordinate class is used to support the more senior classes. This feature is intended to enhance the likelihood that the holder of the senior class certificate will receive regular payments of interest and principal. Subordinate classes have a greater risk of loss than senior classes.

Reserve Funds Cash that is deposited and/or captured in a designated account that may be used to cover any shortfalls in principal, interest, or servicing fees.

Overcollateralization A form of credit enhancement whereby the principal amount of collateral used to secure a given transaction exceeds the principal of the securities issued. Overcollateralization can be created at the time of issuance or may build over time.

Surety Bonds Typically consist of third-part y guarantees to irrevocably and unconditionally make timely payments of interest and ultimate repayment of principal in the event there are insufficient cash flows from the underlying collateral.

The degree of credit support provided on each issue is based generally on historical information respecting the level of credit risk associated with such payments. Depending upon the type of assets securitized, historical information on credit risk and prepayment rates may be limited or even unavailable. Delinquency or loss in excess of that anticipated could adversely affect the return on an investment in an asset-backed security. There is no guarantee that the amount of any type of credit enhancement available will be sufficient to protect against future losses on the underlying collateral.

Some of the specific types of ABS that the funds may invest in include the following :

Home Equity Loans These ABS typically are backed by pools of mortgage loans made to subprime borrowers or borrowers with blemished credit histories. The underwriting standards for these loans are more flexible than the standards generally used by banks for borrowers with non-blemished credit histories with regard to the borrower`s credit standing and repayment ability. Borrowers who qualify generally have impaired credit histories, which may include a record of major derogatory credit items such as outstanding judgments or prior

PAGE 247

bankruptcies. In addition, they may not have the documentation required to qualify for a standard mortgage loan.

As a result, the mortgage loans in the mortgage pool are likely to experience rates of delinquency, foreclosure, and bankruptcy that are higher, and that may be substantially higher, than those experienced by mortgage loans underwritten in a more traditional manner. Furthermore, changes in the values of the mortgaged properties, as well as changes in interest rates, may have a greater effect on the delinquency, foreclosure, bankruptcy, and loss experience of the mortgage loans in the mortgage pool than on mortgage loans originated in a more traditional manner.

With respect to first lien mortgage loans, the underwriting standards do not prohibit a mortgagor from obtaining, at the time of origination of the originator`s first lien mortgage loan, additional financing which is subordinate to that first lien mortgage loan, which subordinate financing would reduce the equity the mortgagor would otherwise appear to have in the related mortgaged property as indicated in the loan-to-value ratio.

Risk regarding mortgage rates

The pass-through rates on the adjustable-rate certificates may adjust monthly and are generally based on one- month LIBOR. The mortgage rates on the mortgage loans are either fixed or adjusted semiannually based on six- month LIBOR, which is referred to as a mortgage index. Because the mortgage index may respond to various economic and market factors different than those affecting one-month LIBOR, there is not necessarily a correlation in the movement between the interest rates on those mortgage loans and the pass-through rates of the adjustable rate certificates. As a result, the interest payable on the related interest-bearing certificates may be reduced because of the imposition of a pass-through rate cap called the "net rate cap . "

Yield and reinvestment could be adversely affected by unpredictability of prepayments

No one can accurately predict the level of prepayments that an asset-backed mortgage pool may experience. Factors which influence prepayment behavior include general economic conditions, the level of prevailing interest rates, the availability of alternative financing, the applicability of prepayment charges, and homeowner mobility. Reinvestment risk results from a faster or slower rate of principal payments than expected. A rising interest rate environment and the resulting slowing of prepayments could result in greater volatility of these securities. A falling interest rate environment and the resulting increase in prepayments could require reinvestment in lower yielding securities.

Credit Card - Backed Securities These ABS are backed by revolving pools of credit card receivables. Due to the revolving nature of these assets, the credit quality could change over time. Unlike most other asset-backed securities, credit card receivables are unsecured obligations of the cardholder and payments by cardholders are the primary source of payment on these securities. The revolving nature of these card accounts generally provides for monthly payments to the trust. In order to issue securities with longer dated maturities, most Credit Card - Backed Securities are issued with an initial "revolving" period during which collections are reinvested in new receivables. The revolving period may be shortened upon the occurrence of specified events which may signal a potential deterioration in the quality of the assets backing the security.

Automobile Loans These ABS are backed by receivables from motor vehicle installment sales contracts or installment loans secured by motor vehicles. These securities are primarily discrete pools of assets which pay down over the life of the ABS. The securities are not obligations of the seller of the vehicle, or servicer of the loans. The primary source of funds for payments on the securities comes from payment on the underlying trust receivables as well as from credit support.

Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility

Certain funds that may purchase ABS and CMBS may also participate in the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility ("TALF"), provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("FRBNY"). The TALF provides eligible borrowers, such as the funds, with non-recourse funding secured by eligible ABS and CMBS owned by the borrower or acquired with the proceeds from the loans. "TALF-eligible securities" include certain ABS and CMBS as determined by the FRBNY, and may change from time to time. TALF loans are considered non- recourse because, if the fund does not repay the principal and interest on the loans, the FRBNY may generally enforce its rights only against the pledged collateral and not against other assets of the fund.

Under the TALF, a fund is able to borrow from the FRBNY to purchase TALF-eligible securities by pledging such securities as collateral for the loan, paying an up-front haircut amount that usually ranges from 5-15% of the value of the TALF-eligible securities that serve as collateral, and paying an administrative fee to the FRBNY. The terms of TALF loans are generally three or five years depending upon the type of collateral pledged by the fund.

The FRBNY receives interest and principal payments on the collateral, which are applied to repayment of the TALF loan, and any amounts remaining are paid to the fund. The fund remains responsible for any principal loss on a TALF-eligible security purchased by the fund. If, however, the fund determines that the principal loss is in an amount equal to or greater than the fund`s haircut for the related TALF loan, the fund may choose to exercise its rights under the TALF to put such TALF-eligible security back to the FRBNY in complete satisfaction of the fund`s obligations under the related TALF loan. Thus, a fund should not be at risk, except in very limited circumstances, for losses in excess of its haircut because of the non-recourse nature of the TALF loan and the fund`s ability to put back the collateral to cancel the loan.

Borrowing money from the FRBNY under the TALF involves leverage because the fund will reinvest the proceeds from the TALF loan in other assets. Borrowings may amplify the effect on the Fund`s net asset value of any increase or decrease in the value of the security purchased with the borrowings. However, since the TALF loans are non-recourse and the fund may surrender collateral pledged at any time in full satisfaction of its obligation, this may minimize some of the risks of leverage.

While not anticipated, if the periodic interest and principal payments due on a TALF loan exceed the amounts received on the pledged TALF-eligible security, the fund may be required to pay such additional amounts from its other portfolio assets which could cause the fund to sell other holdings at times when it might not otherwise choose to do so. The fund may, however, surrender the collateral and terminate the TALF loan.

Funds may gain exposure to the TALF either by borrowing directly from the FRBNY or by investing in pooled vehicles that participate directly in TALF. Such pooled vehicles may be managed by T. Rowe Price or its affiliates. There will be no additional management fees charged to the investing funds by a pooled vehicle focusing its investments in TALF if it is managed by T. Rowe Price or its affiliates.

Inflation-Linked Securities

Inflation-linked securities are income-generating instruments whose interest and principal payments are adjusted for inflation — a sustained increase in prices that erodes the purchasing power of money. TIPS, or Treasury inflation-protected securities, are inflation-linked securities issued by the U.S. government. Inflation- linked bonds are also issued by corporations, U.S. government agencies, states, and foreign countries. The inflation adjustment, which is typically applied monthly to the principal of the bond, follows a designated inflation index, such as the consumer price index (CPI). A fixed coupon rate is applied to the inflation-adjusted principal so that as inflation rises, both the principal value and the interest payments increase. This can provide investors with a hedge against inflation, as it helps preserve the purchasing power of your investment. Because of this inflation-adjustment feature, inflation-protected bonds typically have lower yields than conventional fixed-rate bonds. Municipal inflation bonds generally have a fixed principal amount and the inflation component is reflected in the nominal coupon.

Inflation-protected bonds normally will decline in price when real interest rates rise. (A real interest rate is calculated by subtracting the inflation rate from a nominal interest rate. For example, if a 10-year Treasury note is yielding 5% and the rate of inflation is 2%, the real interest rate is 3%.) If inflation is negative, the principal and income of an inflation-protected bond will decline and could result in losses for the fund.

Inflation adjustments or TIPS that exceed deflation adjustments for the year will be distributed by a fund as a short-term capital gain, resulting in ordinary income to shareholders. Net deflation adjustments for a year could result in all or a portion of dividends paid earlier in the year by a fund being treated as a return of capital.

Collateralized Bond or Loan Obligations

Collateralized Bond Obligations ( "CBOs" ) are bonds collateralized by corporate bonds, mortgages, or asset- backed securities and Collateralized Loan Obligations ( "CLOs" ) are bonds collateralized by bank loans. CBOs and CLOs are structured into tranches, and payments are allocated such that each tranche has a predictable cash

PAGE 249

flow stream and average life. CBOs are fairly recent entrants to the fixed-income market. Most CBOs issued to date have been collateralized by high-yield bonds or loans, with heavy credit enhancement.

Loan Participations and Assignments

Loan participations and assignments (collectively, "participations" ) will typically be participating interests in loans made by a syndicate of banks, represented by an agent bank which has negotiated and structured the loan, to corporate borrowers to finance internal growth, mergers, acquisitions, stock repurchases, leveraged buyouts, and other corporate activities. Such loans may also have been made to governmental borrowers, especially governments of developing countries which is referred to as Loans to Developing Countries debt ( "LDC debt" ). LDC debt will involve the risk that the governmental entity responsible for the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to do so when due. The loans underlying such participations may be secured or unsecured, and the funds may invest in loans collateralized by mortgages on real property or which have no collateral. The loan participations themselves may extend for the entire term of the loan or may extend only for short "strips" that correspond to a quarterly or monthly floating-rate interest period on the underlying loan. Thus, a term or revolving credit that extends for several years may be subdivided into shorter periods.

The loan participations in which the funds will invest will also vary in legal structure. Occasionally, lenders assign to another institution both the lender`s rights and obligations under a credit agreement. Since this type of assignment relieves the original lender of its obligations, it is called a novation. More typically, a lender assigns only its right to receive payments of principal and interest under a promissory note, credit agreement, or similar document. A true assignment shifts to the assignee the direct debtor-creditor relationship with the underlying borrower. Alternatively, a lender may assign only part of its rights to receive payments pursuant to the underlying instrument or loan agreement. Such partial assignments, which are more accurately characterized as "participating interests," do not shift the debtor-creditor relationship to the assignee, who must rely on the original lending institution to collect sums due and to otherwise enforce its rights against the agent bank which administers the loan or against the underlying borrower.

There may not be a recognizable, liquid public market for loan participations. To the extent this is the case, the funds would consider the loan participation as illiquid and subject to the funds` restriction on investing no more than 15% of their net assets in illiquid securities.

Where required by applicable SEC positions, the funds will treat both the corporate borrower and the bank selling the participation interest as an issuer for purposes of its fundamental investment restriction on diversification.

Various service fees received by the funds from loan participations may be treated as non-interest income depending on the nature of the fee (commitment, takedown, commission, service, or loan origination). To the extent the service fees are not interest income, they will not qualify as income under Section 851(b) of the Code. Thus the sum of such fees plus any other nonqualifying income earned by the funds cannot exceed 10% of total income.

Zero-Coupon and Pay-in-Kind Bonds

A zero-coupon security has no cash coupon payments. Instead, the issuer sells the security at a substantial discount from its maturity value. The interest received by the investor from holding this security to maturity is the difference between the maturity value and the purchase price. The advantage to the investor is that reinvestment risk of the income received during the life of the bond is eliminated. However, zero-coupon bonds, like other bonds, retain interest rate and credit risk and usually display more price volatility than those securities that pay a cash coupon.

Pay-in-Kind ( "PIK" ) Instruments are securities that pay interest in either cash or additional securities, at the issuer`s option, for a specified period. PIKs, like zero-coupon bonds, are designed to give an issuer flexibility in managing cash flow. PIK bonds can be either senior or subordinated debt and trade flat (i.e., without accrued interest). The price of PIK bonds is expected to reflect the market value of the underlying debt plus an amount representing accrued interest since the last payment. PIKs are usually less volatile than zero-coupon bonds, but more volatile than cash pay securities.

For federal income tax purposes, these types of bonds will require the recognition of gross income each year even though no cash may be paid to the funds until the maturity or call date of the bond. The funds will

nonetheless be required to distribute substantially all of this gross income each year to comply with the Code, and such distributions could reduce the amount of cash available for investment by the funds.

Trade Claims

Trade claims are non-securitized rights of payment arising from obligations other than borrowed funds. Trade claims typically arise when, in the ordinary course of business, vendors and suppliers extend credit to a company by offering payment terms. Generally, when a company files for bankruptcy protection, payments on these trade claims cease and the claims are subject to compromise along with the other debts of the company. Trade claims typically are bought and sold at a discount reflecting the degree of uncertainty with respect to the timing and extent of recovery. In addition to the risks otherwise associated with low-quality obligations, trade claims have other risks, including the possibility that the amount of the claim may be disputed by the obligor.

Over the last few years , a market for the trade claims of bankrupt companies has developed. Many vendors are either unwilling or lack the resources to hold their claim through the extended bankruptcy process with an uncertain outcome and timing. Some vendors are also aggressive in establishing reserves against these receivables, so that the sale of the claim at a discount may not result in the recognition of a loss.

Trade claims can represent an attractive investment opportunity because these claims typically are priced at a discount to comparable public securities. This discount is a reflection of a less liquid market, a smaller universe of potential buyers, and the risks peculiar to trade claim investing. It is not unusual for trade claims to be priced at a discount to public securities that have an equal or lower priority claim.

As noted above, investing in trade claims does carry some unique risks which include:

Establishing the Amount of the Claim Frequently, the supplier`s estimate of its receivable will differ from the customer`s estimate of its payable. Resolution of these differences can result in a reduction in the amount of the claim. This risk can be reduced by only purchasing scheduled claims (claims already listed as liabilities by the debtor) and seeking representations from the seller.

Defenses to Claims The debtor has a variety of defenses that can be asserted under the bankruptcy code against any claim. Trade claims are subject to these defenses, the most common of which for trade claims relates to preference payments. (Preference payments are all payments made by the debtor during the 90 days prior to the filing. These payments are presumed to have benefited the receiving creditor at the expense of the other creditors. The receiving creditor may be required to return the payment unless it can show the payments were received in the ordinary course of business.) While none of these defenses can result in any additional liability of the purchaser of the trade claim, they can reduce or wipe out the entire purchased claim. This risk can be reduced by seeking representations and indemnification from the seller.

Documentation/Indemnification Each trade claim purchased requires documentation that must be negotiated between the buyer and seller. This documentation is extremely important since it can protect the purchaser from losses such as those described above. Legal expenses in negotiating a purchase agreement can be fairly high. Additionally, it is important to note that the value of an indemnification depends on the seller`s credit.

Volatile Pricing Due to Illiquid Market There are only a handful of brokers for trade claims and the quoted price of these claims can be volatile. Generally, it is expected that trade claims would be considered illiquid investments.

No Current Yield/Ultimate Recovery Trade claims are almost never entitled to earn interest. As a result, the return on such an investment is very sensitive to the length of the bankruptcy, which is uncertain. Although not unique to trade claims, it is worth noting that the ultimate recovery on the claim is uncertain and there is no way to calculate a conventional yield to maturity on this investment. Additionally, the exit for this investment is a plan of reorganization which may include the distribution of new securities. These securities may be as illiquid as the original trade claim investment.

Tax Issue Although the issue is not free from doubt, it is likely that trade claims would be treated as non- securities investments. As a result, any gains would be considered "nonqualifying" under the Code. The funds may have up to 10% of their gross income (including capital gains) derived from nonqualifying sources.

Municipal Securities

Subject to the investment objectives and programs described in the prospectus and the additional investment restrictions described in this S AI , the funds` portfolios may consist of any combination of the various types of municipal securities described below or other types of municipal securities that may be developed. The amount of the funds` assets invested in any particular type of municipal security can be expected to vary.

The term "municipal securities" means obligations issued by or on behalf of states, territories, and possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies, and instrumentalities, as well as certain other persons and entities, the interest from which is generally exempt from federal income tax. In determining the tax-exempt status of a municipal security, the funds rely on the opinion of the issuer`s bond counsel at the time of the issuance of the security. However, it is possible this opinion could be overturned, and, as a result, the interest received by the funds from a municipal security assumed to be tax- exempt might not be exempt from federal income tax.

Municipal securities are normally classified by maturity as notes, bonds, or adjustable rate securities. Municipal securities include the following :

Municipal notes generally are used to provide short-term operating or capital needs and generally have maturities of one year or less.

Tax Anticipation Notes Tax anticipation notes are issued to finance working capital needs of municipalities. Generally, they are issued in anticipation of various seasonal tax revenue, such as income, property, use, and business taxes, and are payable from these specific future taxes.

Revenue Anticipation Notes Revenue anticipation notes are issued in expectation of receipt of revenues, such as sales taxes, toll revenues, or water and sewer charges, that are used to pay off the notes.

Bond Anticipation Notes Bond anticipation notes are issued to provide interim financing until long-term financing can be arranged. In most cases, the long-term bonds then provide the money for the repayment of the notes.

Tax-Exempt Commercial Paper Tax-exempt commercial paper is a short-term obligation with a stated maturity of 270 days or less. It is issued by state and local governments or their agencies to finance seasonal working capital needs or as short-term financing in anticipation of longer-term financing.

Municipal bonds, which meet longer-term capital needs and generally have maturities of more than one year when issued, have two principal classifications: general obligation bonds and revenue bonds. A dditional categories of potential purchases include lease revenue bonds and prerefunded/escrowed to maturity bonds , private activity bonds, industrial development bond s, and participation interests .

General Obligation Bonds Issuers of general obligation bonds include states, counties, cities, towns, and special districts. The proceeds of these obligations are used to fund a wide range of public projects, including construction or improvement of schools, public buildings, highways and roads, and general projects not supported by user fees or specifically identified revenues. The basic security behind general obligation bonds is the issuer`s pledge of its full faith and credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. The taxes that can be levied for the payment of debt service may be limited or unlimited as to the rate or amount of special assessments. In many cases voter approval is required before an issuer may sell this type of bond.

Revenue Bonds The principal security for a revenue bond is generally the net revenues derived from a particular facility or enterprise or, in some cases, the proceeds of a special charge or other pledged revenue source. Revenue bonds are issued to finance a wide variety of capital projects including: electric, gas, water, and sewer systems; highways, bridges, and tunnels; port and airport facilities; colleges and universities; and hospitals. Revenue bonds are sometimes used to finance various privately operated facilities provided they meet certain tests established for tax-exempt status.

Although the principal security behind these bonds may vary, many provide additional security in the form of a mortgage or debt service reserve fund. Some authorities provide further security in the form of the state`s ability (without obligation) to make up deficiencies in the debt service reserve fund. Revenue bonds usually do not require prior voter approval before they may be issued.

Lease Revenue Bonds Municipal borrowers may also finance capital improvements or purchases with tax- exempt leases. The security for a lease is generally the borrower`s pledge to make annual appropriations for lease payments. The lease payment is treated as an operating expense subject to appropriation risk and not a full faith and credit obligation of the issuer. Lease revenue bonds are generally considered less secure than a general obligation or revenue bond and often do not include a debt service reserve fund. To the extent the funds` Boards determine such securities are illiquid, they will be subject to the funds` limit on illiquid securities. There have also been certain legal challenges to the use of lease revenue bonds in various states.

The liquidity of such securities will be determined based on a variety of factors which may include, among others: (1) the frequency of trades and quotes for the obligation; (2) the number of dealers willing to purchase or sell the security and the number of other potential buyers; (3) the willingness of dealers to undertake to make a market in the security; (4) the nature of the marketplace trades, including the time needed to dispose of the security, the method of soliciting offers, and the mechanics of transfer; and (5) the rating assigned to the obligation by an established rating agency or T. Rowe Price.

Prerefunded/Escrowed to Maturity Bonds Certain municipal bonds have been refunded with a later bond issue from the same issuer. The proceeds from the later issue are used to defease the original issue. In many cases the original issue cannot be redeemed or repaid until the first call date or original maturity date. In these cases, the refunding bond proceeds typically are used to buy U.S. Treasury securities that are held in an escrow account until the original call date or maturity date. The original bonds then become "prerefunded" or "escrowed to maturity" and are considered high-quality investments. While still tax-exempt, the security is the proceeds of the escrow account. To the extent permitted by the SEC and the Internal Revenue Service, a fund`s investment in such securities refunded with U.S. Treasury securities will, for purposes of diversification rules applicable to the funds, be considered an investment in U.S. Treasury securities.

Private Activity Bonds Under current tax law, all municipal debt is divided broadly into two groups: governmental purpose bonds and private activity bonds. Governmental purpose bonds are issued to finance traditional public purpose projects such as public buildings and roads. Private activity bonds may be issued by a state or local government or public authority but principally benefit private users and are considered taxable unless a specific exemption is provided.

The tax code currently provides exemptions for certain private activity bonds such as not-for-profit hospital bonds, small-issue industrial development revenue bonds, and mortgage subsidy bonds, which may still be issued as tax-exempt bonds. Interest on tax exempt private activity bonds has generally been subject to alternative minimum tax (AMT) . However, interest on all private activity bonds issued in 2009 or 2010 will be exempt from AMT. In addition, interest on private activity bonds that were issued after 2003, and refunded during 2009 or 2010, will be exempt from AMT.

Industrial Development Bonds Industrial development bonds are considered municipal bonds if the interest paid is exempt from federal income tax. They are issued by or on behalf of public authorities to raise money to finance various privately operated facilities for business and manufacturing, housing, sports, and pollution control. These bonds are also used to finance public facilities such as airports, mass transit systems, ports, and parking. The payment of the principal and interest on such bonds is dependent solely on the ability of the facility`s user to meet its financial obligations and the pledge, if any, of real and personal property so financed as security for such payment.

Build America Bonds The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 created Build America Bonds, which allow state and local governments to issue taxable bonds in 2009 and 2010 to finance any capital expenditures for which they otherwise could issue tax-exempt governmental bonds. State and local governments receive a federal subsidy payment for a portion of their borrowing costs on these bonds equal to 35% of the total coupon interest paid to investors. The municipality can elect to either take the federal subsidy or it can pass a 35% tax credit along to bondholders. Investments in these bonds will result in taxable interest income and the funds may elect to pass through to shareholders any corresponding tax credits. The tax credits can generally be used to offset federal income taxes and the alternative minimum tax, but those tax credits are generally not refundable.

Participation Interests The funds may purchase from third parties participation interests in all or part of specific holdings of municipal securities. The purchase may take different forms: in the case of short-term securities, the participation may be backed by a liquidity facility that allows the interest to be sold back to the third party (such

PAGE 253

as a trust, broker, or bank) for a predetermined price of par at stated intervals. The seller may receive a fee from the funds in connection with the arrangement.

In the case of longer-term bonds, the funds may purchase interests in a pool of municipal bonds or a single municipal bond or lease without the right to sell the interest back to the third party.

The funds will not purchase participation interests unless a satisfactory opinion of counsel or ruling of the Internal Revenue Service has been issued that the interest earned from the municipal securities on which the funds hold participation interests is exempt from federal income tax to the funds. However, there is no guarantee the IRS would treat such interest income as tax-exempt.

When-Issued Securities

New issues of municipal securities are often offered on a when-issued basis; that is, delivery and payment for the securities normally takes place 15 to 45 days or more after the date of the commitment to purchase. The payment obligation and the interest rate that will be received on the securities are each fixed at the time the buyer enters into the commitment. The funds will only make a commitment to purchase such securities with the intention of actually acquiring the securities. However, the funds may sell these securities before the settlement date if it is deemed advisable as a matter of investment strategy. The funds will maintain cash, high-grade marketable debt securities, or other suitable cover with its custodian bank equal in value to commitments for when-issued securi ties. Such securities either will mature or, if necessary, be sold on or before the settlement date. Securities pur chased on a when-issued basis and the securities held in the funds` portfolios are subject to changes in market value based upon the public perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and changes in the level of interest rates (which will generally result in similar changes in value, i.e., both experiencing appreciation when interest rates decline and depreciation when interest rates rise). Therefore, to the extent the funds remain fully invested or almost fully invested at the same time that they have purchased securities on a when-issued basis, there will be greater fluctuations in their net asset value than if they solely set aside cash to pay for when-issued securities. In the case of the money funds, this could increase the possibility that the market value of the funds` assets could vary from $1.00 per share. In addition, there will be a greater potential for the realization of capital gains, which are not exempt from federal income tax. When the time comes to pay for when-issued securities, the funds will meet their obligations from then-available cash flow, sale of securities, or, although it would not normally expect to do so, from sale of the when-issued securities themselves (which may have a value greater or less than the pay ment obligation). The policies described in this paragraph are not fundamental and may be changed by the funds upon notice to shareholders.

Forwards

In some cases, the funds may purchase bonds on a when-issued basis with longer-than-standard settlement dates, in some cases exceeding one to two years. In such cases, the funds must execute a receipt evidencing the obligation to purchase the bond on the specified issue date, and must segregate cash internally to meet that forward commitment. Municipal "forwards" typically carry a substantial yield premium to compensate the buyer for the risks associated with a long when-issued period, including: shifts in market interest rates that could materially impact the principal value of the bond, deterioration in the credit quality of the issuer, loss of alternative investment options during the when-issued period, changes in tax law or issuer actions that would affect the exempt interest status of the bonds and prevent delivery, failure of the issuer to complete various steps required to issue the bonds, and limited liquidity for the buyer to sell the escrow receipts during the when- issued period.

Residual Interest Bonds

Residual interest bonds are a type of high-risk derivative. The funds may purchase municipal bond issues that are structured as two-part, residual interest bond and variable rate security offerings. The issuer is obligated only to pay a fixed amount of tax-free income that is to be divided among the holders of the two securities. The interest rate for the holders of the short-term, variable rate securities will typically be determined by an index or auction process held approximately every seven to 35 days while the long-term bondholders will receive all interest paid by the issuer minus the amount given to the variable rate security holders and a nominal auction fee. Therefore, the coupon of the residual interest bonds, and thus the income received, will move inversely with respect to short-term, 7- to 35-day tax-exempt interest rates. There is no assurance that the auction will be successful and that the variable rate security will provide short-term liquidity. The issuer is not obligated to provide such liquidity. In general, these securities offer a significant yield advantage over standard municipal

securities, due to the uncertainty of the shape of the yield curve (i.e., short-term versus long-term rates) and consequent income flows , but tend to be more volatile than other municipal securities of similar maturity and credit quality .

Unlike many adjustable rate securities, residual interest bonds are not necessarily expected to trade at par and in fact present significant market risks. In certain market environments, residual interest bonds may carry substantial premiums , trade at deep discounts , or have limited liquidity . Residual interest bonds entai l varying degrees of leverage, which could result in greater volatility and losses greater than investing directly in the underlying municipal bond.

The funds may invest in other types of derivative instruments as they become available.

For the purpose of the funds` investment restrictions, the identification of the "issuer" of municipal securities which are not general obligation bonds is made by T. Rowe Price, on the basis of the characteristics of the obligation as described above, the most significant of which is the source of funds for the payment of principal and interest on such securities.

There are, of course, other types of securities that are or may become available that are similar to the foregoing, and the funds may invest in these securities.

Real Estate Investment Trusts ( " REITs " )

Investments in REITs may experience many of the same risks involved with investing in real estate directly. These risks include: declines in real estate values, risks related to local or general economic conditions, particularly lack of demand, overbuilding and increased competition, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, changes in zoning laws, heavy cash flow dependency, possible lack of availability of mortgage funds, obsolescence, losses due to natural disasters, condemnation of properties, regulatory limitations on rents and fluctuations in rental income, variations in market rental rates, and possible environmental liabilities. REITs may own real estate properties (Equity REITs) and be subject to these risks directly, or may make or purchase mortgages (Mortgage REITs) and be subject to these risks indirectly through underlying construction, development, and long-term mortgage loans that may default or have payment problems.

Equity REITs can be affected by rising interest rates that may cause investors to demand a high annual yield from future distributions which, in turn, could decrease the market prices for the REITs. In addition, rising interest rates also increase the costs of obtaining financing for real estate projects. Since many real estate projects are dependent upon receiving financing, this could cause the value of the Equity REITs in which the funds invest to decline.

Mortgage REITs may hold mortgages that the mortgagors elect to prepay during periods of declining interest rates, which may diminish the yield on such REITs. In addition, borrowers may not be able to repay mortgages when due, which could have a negative effect on the funds.

Some REITs have relatively small market capitalizations which could increase their volatility. REITs tend to be dependent upon specialized management skills and have limited diversification so they are subject to risks inherent in operating and financing a limited number of properties. In addition, when the funds invest in REITs, a shareholder will bear his proportionate share of fund expenses and indirectly bear similar expenses of the REITs. REITs depend generally on their ability to generate cash flow to make distributions to shareholders. Certain REITS may be able to pay up to 90% of their dividends in the form of stock instead of cash. Even if a fund receives all or part of a REIT distribution in stock, the fund will still be deemed to have received 100% of the distribution in cash and the entire distribution will be part of the fund`s taxable income. In addition, both Equity and Mortgage REITs are subject to the risks of failing to qualify for tax-free status of income under the Code or failing to maintain their exemption s from the 1940 Act.

Adjustable Rate Securities

Generally, the maturity of a security is deemed to be the period remaining until the date (noted on the face of the instrument) on which the principal amount must be paid or, in the case of an instrument called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment must be made. However, certain securities may be issued with demand features or adjustable interest rates that are reset periodically by predetermined formulas or indexes in order to minimize movements in the principal value of the investment in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Such securities may have long-term maturities, but may be treated as a short-term

PAGE 255

investment under certain conditions. Generally, as interest rates decrease or increase, the potential for capital appreciation or depreciation on these securities is less than for fixed rate obligations. These securities may take a variety of forms, including variable rate, floating rate, and put option securities.

Variable Rate Securities Variable rate instruments are those whose terms provide for the adjustment of their interest rates on set dates and which, upon such adjustment, can reasonably be expected to have a market value that approximates its par value. A variable rate instrument, the principal amount of which is scheduled to be paid in 397 days or less, is deemed to have a maturity equal to the period remaining until the next readjustment of the interest rate. A variable rate instrument which is subject to a demand feature entitles the purchaser to receive the principal amount of the underlying security or securities, either (i) upon notice of no more than 30 days or (ii) at specified intervals not exceeding 397 days and upon no more than 30 days` notice, is deemed to have a maturity equal to the longer of the period remaining until the next readjustment of the interest rate or the period remaining until the principal amount can be recovered through demand.

Forward Commitment Contracts

The price of such securities, which may be expressed in yield terms, is fixed at the time the commitment to purchase is made, but delivery and payment take place at a later date. Normally, the settlement date occurs within 90 days of the purchase for when-issueds, but may be substantially longer for forwards. During the period between purchase and settlement, no payment is made by the funds to the issuer and no interest accrues to the funds. The purchase of these securities will result in a loss if their values decline prior to the settlement date. This could occur, for example, if interest rates increase prior to settlement. The longer the period between purchase and settlement, the greater the risks. At the time the funds make the commitment to purchase these securities, it will record the transaction and reflect the value of the security in determining its net asset value. The funds will cover these securities by maintaining cash, liquid, high-grade debt securities, or other suitable cover as permitted by the SEC with its custodian bank equal in value to its commitments for the securities during the time between the purchase and the settlement. Therefore, the longer this period, the longer the period during which alternative investment options are not available to the funds (to the extent of the securities used for cover). Such securities either will mature or, if necessary, be sold on or before the settlement date.

To the extent the funds remain fully or almost fully invested (in securities with a remaining maturity of more than one year) at the same time they purchase these securities, there will be greater fluctuations in the funds` net asset value than if the funds did not purchase them.

Illiquid or Restricted Securities

Some fund holdings may be considered illiquid because they are subject to legal or contractual restriction s on resale or because they cannot be sold in the ordinary course of business at approximately the price at which the fund values them. The determination of whether a holding is considered liquid or illiquid involves a variety of factors. Certain restricted securities may be sold only in privately negotiated transactions or in a public offering with respect to which a registration statement is in effect under the 1933 Act. Where registration is required, the fund may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expenses, and a considerable period may elapse between the time of the decision to sell and the time the fund may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the fund might obtain a less favorable price than that which prevailed when it decided to sell. Restricted securities will be priced at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures prescribed by the funds` Boards. If, through the appreciation of illiquid securities or the depreciation of liquid securities, the funds should be in a position where more than the allowable amount of its net assets is invested in illiquid assets, including restricted securities, the funds will take appropriate steps to protect liquidity.

Notwithstanding the above, the funds may purchase securities which, while privately placed, are eligible for purchase and sale under Rule 144A under the 1933 Act. This rule permits certain qualified institutional buyers, such as the funds, to trade in privately placed securities even though such securities are not registered under the 1933 Act. The liquidity of these securities is monitored based on a variety of factors.

All Funds (other than the Money Funds)

Investments in Other Investment Companies

Unaffiliated Investment Companies The funds may invest in other investment companies that are not sponsored by T. Rowe Price, which include open-end funds, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), unit investment trusts, and other investment companies that have elected to be treated as business development companies under the 1940 Act.

The funds may purchase shares of another investment company to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the market while awaiting purchase of securities or as an efficient means of gaining exposure to a particular asset class. The funds might also purchase shares of another investment company to gain exposure to the securities in the investment company`s portfolio at times when the fund may not be able to buy those securities directly. Any investment in another investment company would be consistent with a fund`s objective and investment program.

Investing in another investment company involves risks similar to those of investing directly in the investment company`s portfolio securities, including the risk that the values of the portfolio securities may fluctuate due to changes in the financial condition of the securities` issuers and other market factors. An investment company may not achieve its investment objective or execute its investment strategy effectively, which may adversely affect the fund`s performance. In addition, because closed-end funds trade on a stock exchange or in the over- the-counter market and ETFs trade on a securities exchange, their shares may trade at a substantial premium or discount to the actual net asset value of its portfolio securities and their potential lack of liquidity could result in greater volatility.

If a fund invests in a non-T. Rowe Price investment company, the fund must pay its proportionate share of that investment company`s fees and expenses, which are in addition to the management fee and other operational expenses incurred by the fund. The expenses associated with certain investment companies, such as business development companies, may be significant. The fund could also incur a sales charge or redemption fee in connection with purchasing or redeeming an investment company security.

The fund`s investments in non-T. Rowe Price registered investment companies are subject to the limits that apply to such investments under the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act generally provides that a fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in securities of other investment companies. In addition, a fund may not own more than 3% of the total outstanding voting stock of any investment company and not more than 5% of the fund`s total assets may be in invested in a particular investment company.

Affiliated Investment Companies The funds may also invest in certain other T. Rowe Price mutual funds as a means of gaining efficient and cost-effective exposure to specific asset classes, provided the investment is consistent with an investing fund`s investment program and policies. Such an investment could allow the fund to obtain the benefits of a more diversified portfolio than might otherwise be available through direct investments in the asset class, and will subject the fund to the risks associated with the particular asset class. Examples of asset classes in which other T. Rowe Price mutual funds invest include high yield bonds, floating rate loans, international bonds, emerging market bonds, and emerging market stocks. To ensure that the fund does not incur duplicate management fees as a result of its investment in another T. Rowe Price fund, the management fee paid by the fund will be reduced in an amount sufficient to offset the fees paid by the underlying fund related to the investment.

Money Funds

Determination of Maturity of Money Market Securities

The funds may only purchase securities which at the time of investment have remaining maturities of 397 calendar days or less. The other funds may also purchase money market securities. In determining the maturity of money market securities, funds will follow the provisions of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act.

Prime Reserve, Summit Cash Reserves, and TRP Reserve Investment Funds

First Tier Money Market Securities Defined

At least 9 7 % of the funds` total assets will be maintained in first tier money market securities. First tier money market securities are those which are described as First Tier Securities under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. These

PAGE 257

include any security with a remaining maturity of 397 days or less that is rated (or that has been issued by an issuer that is rated with respect to a class of short-term debt obligations, or any security within that class that is comparable in priority and security with the security) by any two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (or if only one NRSRO has issued a rating, that NRSRO) in the highest rating category for short- term debt obligations (within which there may be sub-categories). First Tier Securities also include unrated securities comparable in quality to rated securities, as determined by T. Rowe Price pursuant to written guidelines established in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act under the supervision of the funds` Boards.

D erivatives

The funds may use derivatives whose characteristics are consistent with the fund s ` investment program.

A derivative is a financial instrument that has a value based on — or "derived from" — the value of other assets, reference rates, or indexes. Derivatives generally take the form of contracts under which the parties agree to payments between them based upon the performance of a wide variety of underlying references, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, interest rates, currency exchange rates, and various domestic and foreign indexes. The main types of derivatives are futures, options, forward contracts, swaps, and hybrid instruments.

Like most other fund investments, derivatives are subject to the risk that the market value of the underlying asset will change in a way detrimental to the fund s ` interest. However, the risks associated with the use of derivatives are different from, and potentially much greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the instruments on which the derivatives are based. Because some derivatives involve leverage, returns can be magnified, either positively or negatively, and adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, reference rate, or index can result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself.

Some derivatives are traded on exchanges, while other derivatives are privately negotiated and entered into in the over-the-counter ( " OTC " ) market. Exchange-traded derivatives are traded via specialized derivatives exchanges or other securities exchanges. The exchange acts as an intermediary to the transactions and the terms for each type of contract are generally standardized. OTC derivatives are traded between two parties directly without going through a regulated exchange. The terms of the contract are subject to negotiation by the parties to the contract.

OTC derivatives are subject to counterparty risk, whereas the exposure to default for exchange-traded derivatives is assumed by the exchange`s clearinghouse. Counterparty risk is the risk that a party to an OTC derivatives contract may fail to perform on its obligations. A loss may be sustained as a result of the insolvency or bankruptcy of the counterparty, or the failure of the counterparty to make required payments or comply with the terms of the contract. In the event of insolvency of the counterparty, the funds may be unable to liquidate a derivatives position. Because the purchase and sale of an OTC derivative does not have the guarantee of a central clearing organization, the creditworthiness of the counterparty is an additional risk factor that the funds need to consider and monitor.

Futures Contracts

Futures contracts are a type of potentially high-risk derivative.

Transactions in Futures

The funds may enter into futures contracts including stock index, interest rate, and currency futures ( "futures" or "futures contracts" ).

Interest rate or currency futures contracts may be used as a hedge against changes in prevailing levels of interest rates or currency exchange rates in order to establish more definitely the effective return on securities or currencies held or intended to be acquired by the funds. Interest rate or currency futures can be sold as an offset against the effect of expected increases in interest rates or currency exchange rates and purchased as an offset against the effect of expected declines in interest rates or currency exchange rates.

Futures can also be used as an efficient means of regulating the funds` exposure to the market.

Index Funds may only enter into futures contracts that are appropriate for their investment programs to provide an efficient means of maintaining liquidity while being invested in the market, to facilitate trading, or to reduce transaction costs. Otherwise , the nature of such futures and the regulatory limitations and risks to which they are subject are the same as those described below.

Stock index futures contracts may be used to provide a hedge for a portion of the funds` portfolios, as a cash management tool, or as an efficient way to implement either an increase or decrease in portfolio market exposure in response to changing market conditions. The funds may purchase or sell futures contracts with respect to any stock index. Nevertheless, to hedge the funds` portfolios successfully, the funds must sell futures contracts with respect to indices or subindices whose movements will have a significant correlation with movements in the prices of the funds` portfolio securities.

The funds will enter into futures contracts that are traded on national (or foreign) futures exchanges and are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. A public market exists in futures contracts covering various taxable fixed-income securities as well as municipal bonds. Futures exchanges and trading in the United States are regulated under the Commodity Exchange Act by the Commodit y Futures Trading Commission (" CFTC ") . Although techniques other than the sale and purchase of futures contracts could be used for the above-referenced purposes, futures contracts offer an effective and relatively low cost means of implementing the funds` objectives in these areas.

Limitations on Futures

If the funds purchase or sell futures contracts or related options which do not qualify as bona fide hedging under applicable CFTC rules, the aggregate initial margin deposits and premium required to establish those positions cannot exceed 5% of the liquidation value of the funds after taking into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such contracts they have entered into, provided, however, that in the case of an option that is in-the-money at the time of purchase, the in-the-money amount may be excluded in calculating the 5% limitation. For purposes of this policy, options on futures contracts and foreign currency options traded on a commodities exchange will be considered "related options." This policy may be modified by the Boards without a shareholder vote and does not limit the percentage of the funds` assets at risk to 5%.

In instances involving the purchase of futures contracts or the writing of call or put options thereon by the funds, an amount of cash, liquid assets, or other suitable cover as permitted by the SEC, equal to the market value of the futures contracts and options thereon (less any related margin deposits), will be identified by the funds to cover the position, or alternative cover (such as owning an offsetting position) will be employed. Assets used as cover or held in an identified account cannot be sold while the position in the corresponding option or future is open, unless they are replaced with similar assets. As a result, the commitment of a large portion of the funds` assets to cover or identified accounts could impede portfolio management or the funds` ability to meet redemption requests or other current obligations.

If the CFTC or other regulatory authorities adopt different (including less stringent) or additional restrictions, the funds would comply with such new restrictions.

For funds that utilize futures contracts, a notice has been filed on behalf of the funds with the National Futures Association claiming an exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" ( "CPO" ) under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and the rules of the CFTC promulgated thereunder. Accordingly, such funds are not subject to registration or regulation as CPOs.

Trading in Futures Contracts

A futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific financial instrument (e.g., units of a stock index) for a specified price, date, time, and place designated at the time the contract is made. Brokerage fees are incurred when a futures contract is bought or sold and margin deposits must be maintained. Entering into a contract to buy is commonly referred to as buying or purchasing a contract or holding a long position. Entering into a contract to sell is commonly referred to as selling a contract or holding a short position.

Unlike when the funds purchase or sell a security, no price would be paid or received by the funds upon the purchase or sale of a futures contract. Upon entering into a futures contract, and to maintain the funds` open positions in futures contracts, the funds would be required to deposit in a segregated account with the clearing broker for the futures contract an amount of cash or liquid assets known as "initial margin." The margin

PAGE 259

required for a particular futures contract is set by the exchange on which the contract is traded and may be significantly modified from time to time by the exchange during the term of the contract. Futures contracts are customarily purchased and sold on margins that may range upward from less than 5% of the value of the contract being traded.

Financial futures are valued daily at closing settlement prices. If the price of an open futures contract changes (by increase in the case of a sale or by decrease in the case of a purchase) so that the loss on the futures contract reaches a point at which the margin on deposit does not satisfy margin requirements, the clearing broker will require a payment by the funds ( "variation margin" ) to restore the margin account to the amount of the initial margin.

Subsequent payments ( "mark-to-market payments" ) to and from the futures clearing broker are made on a daily basis as the price of the underlying assets fluctuates, making the long and short positions in the futures contract more or less valuable. If the value of the open futures position increases in the case of a sale or decreases in the case of a purchase, the funds will pay the amount of the daily change in value to the clearing broker. However, if the value of the open futures position decreases in the case of a sale or increases in the case of a purchase, the clearing broker will pay the amount of the daily change in value to the funds.

Although certain futures contracts, by their terms, require actual future delivery of and payment for the underlying instruments, in practice , most futures contracts are usually closed out before the delivery date. Closing out an open futures contract purchase or sale is effected by entering into an offsetting futures contract sale or purchase, respectively, for the same aggregate amount of the identical securities and the same delivery date. If the offsetting purchase price is less than the original sale price, the funds realize a gain; if it is more, the funds realize a loss. Conversely, if the offsetting sale price is more than the original purchase price, the funds realize a gain; if it is less, the funds realize a loss. The transaction costs must also be included in these calculations. There can be no assurance, however, that the funds will be able to enter into an offsetting transaction with respect to a particular futures contract at a particular time. If the funds are not able to enter into an offsetting transaction, the funds will continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contract.

As an example of an offsetting transaction in which the underlying instrument is not delivered, the contractual obligations arising from the sale of one contract of September Treasury bills on an exchange may be fulfilled at any time before delivery of the contract is required (i.e., on a specified date in September, the "delivery month" ) by the purchase of one contract of September Treasury bills on the same exchange. In such instance, the difference between the price at which the futures contract was sold and the price paid for the offsetting purchase, after allowance for transaction costs, represents the profit or loss to the funds.

Settlement of a stock index futures contract may or may not be in the underlying security. If not in the underlying security, then settlement will be made in cash, equivalent over time to the difference between the contract price and the actual price of the underlying asset (as adjusted by a multiplier) at the time the stock index futures contract expires.

For example, the S&P 500 Stock Index is made up of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The S&P 500 Index assigns relative weightings to the common stocks included in the index, and the index fluctuates with changes in the market values of those common stocks. In the case of futures contracts on the S&P 500 Index, the contracts are to buy or sell 250 units. Thus, if the value of the S&P 500 Index were $150, one contract would be worth $37,500 (250 units x $150). The stock index futures contract specifies that no delivery of the actual stocks making up the index will take place. Instead, settlement in cash occurs. Over the life of the contract, the gain or loss realized by the funds will equal the difference between the purchase (or sale) price of the contract and the price at which the contract is terminated. For example, if the funds enter into a futures contract to buy 250 units of the S&P 500 Index at a specified future date at a contract price of $150 and the S&P 500 Index is at $154 on that future date, the funds will gain $1,000 (250 units x gain of $4). If the funds enter into a futures contract to sell 250 units of the stock index at a specified future date at a contract price of $150 and the S&P 500 Index is at $152 on that future date, the funds will lose $500 (250 units x loss of $2).

It is possible that hedging activities of funds investing in municipal securities will occur through the use of U.S. Treasury bond futures.

Special Risks of Transactions in Futures Contracts

Volatility and Leverage The prices of futures contracts are volatile and are influenced, among other things, by actual and anticipated changes in the market and interest rates, which in turn are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and national and international political and economic events.

Most U.S. futures exchanges limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in futures contract prices during a single trading day. The daily limit establishes the maximum amount that the price of a futures contract may vary either up or down from the previous day`s settlement price at the end of a trading session. Once the daily limit has been reached in a particular type of futures contract, no trades may be made on that day at a price beyond that limit. The daily limit governs only price movement during a particular trading day and therefore does not limit potential losses because the limit may prevent the liquidation of unfavorable positions. Futures contract prices have occasionally moved to the daily limit for several consecutive trading days with little or no trading, thereby preventing prompt liquidation of futures positions and subjecting some futures traders to substantial losses.

Margin deposits required on futures trading are low. As a result, a relatively small price movement in a futures contract may result in immediate and substantial loss, as well as gain, to the investor. For example, if at the time of purchase, 10% of the value of the futures contract is deposited as margin, a subsequent 10% decrease in the value of the futures contract would result in a total loss of the margin deposit, before any deduction for the transaction costs, if the account were then closed out. A 15% decrease would result in a loss equal to 150% of the original margin deposit, if the contract were closed out. Thus, a purchase or sale of a futures contract may result in losses in excess of the amount invested in the futures contract.

Liquidity The funds may elect to close some or all of their futures positions at any time prior to their expiration. The funds would do so to reduce exposure represented by long futures positions or short futures positions. The funds may close their position by taking opposite positions, which would operate to terminate the funds` position in the futures contracts. Final determinations of mark-to-market payments would then be made, additional cash would be required to be paid by or released to the funds, and the funds would realize a loss or a gain.

Futures contracts may be closed out only on the exchange or board of trade where the contracts were initially traded. Although the funds intend to purchase or sell futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade where there appears to be an active market, there is no assurance that a liquid market on an exchange or board of trade will exist for any particular contract at any particular time. In such event, it might not be possible to close a futures contract, and in the event of adverse price movements, the funds would continue to be required to make daily mark-to-market and variation margin payments. However, in the event futures contracts have been used to hedge the underlying instruments, the funds would continue to hold the underlying instruments subject to the hedge until the futures contracts could be terminated. In such circumstances, an increase in the price of underlying instruments, if any, might partially or completely offset losses on the futures contract. However, as described next, there is no guarantee that the price of the underlying instruments will, in fact, correlate with the price movements in the futures contract and thus provide an offset to losses on a futures contract.

Hedging Risk A decision whether, when, and how to hedge involves skill and judgment, and even a well- conceived hedge may be unsuccessful to some degree because of unexpected market or economic events. There are several risks in connection with the use by the funds of futures contracts as a hedging device. One risk arises because of the imperfect correlation between movements in the prices of the futures contracts and movements in the prices of the underlying instruments which are the subject of the hedge. T. Rowe Price will, however, attempt to reduce this risk by entering into futures contracts whose movements, in its judgment, will have a significant correlation with movements in the prices of the funds` underlying instruments sought to be hedged.

Successful use of futures contracts by the funds for hedging purposes is also subject to T. Rowe Price`s ability to correctly predict movements in the direction of the market. It is possible that, when the funds have sold futures to hedge their portfolios against a decline in the market, the index, indices, or instruments` underlying futures might advance, and the value of the underlying instruments held in the funds` portfolios might decline. If this were to occur, the funds would lose money on the futures and also would experience a decline in value in their underlying instruments. However, while this might occur to a certain degree, T. Rowe Price believes that over

PAGE 261

time the value of the funds` portfolios will tend to move in the same direction as the market indices used to hedge the portfolio. It is also possible that, if the funds were to hedge against the possibility of a decline in the market (adversely affecting the underlying instruments held in their portfolios) and prices instead increased, the funds would lose part or all of the benefit of increased value of those underlying instruments that it had hedged because it would have offsetting losses in their futures positions. In addition, in such situations, if the funds have insufficient cash, it might have to sell underlying instruments to meet daily mark-to-market and variation margin requirements. Such sales of underlying instruments might be, but would not necessarily be, at increased prices (which would reflect the rising market). The funds might have to sell underlying instruments at a time when it would be disadvantageous to do so.

In addition to the possibility that there might be an imperfect correlation, or no correlation at all, between price movements in the futures contracts and the portion of the portfolio being hedged, the price movements of futures contracts might not correlate perfectly with price movements in the underlying instruments due to certain market distortions. First, all participants in the futures market are subject to margin deposit and maintenance requirements. Rather than meeting additional margin deposit requirements, investors might close futures contracts through offsetting transactions, which could distort the normal relationship between the underlying instruments and futures markets. Second, the margin requirements in the futures market are less onerous than margin requirements in the securities markets and, as a result, the futures market might attract more speculators than the securities markets. Increased participation by speculators in the futures market might also cause temporary price distortions. Due to the possibility of price distortion in the futures market and also because of imperfect correlation between price movements in the underlying instruments and movements in the prices of futures contracts, even a correct forecast of general market trends by T. Rowe Price might not result in a successful hedging transaction over a very short time period.

Options on Futures Contracts

Options (another type of potentially high-risk derivative) on futures are similar to options on underlying instruments, except that options on futures give the purchaser the right, in return for the premium paid, to assume a position in a futures contract (a long position if the option is a call and a short position if the option is a put), rather than to purchase or sell the futures contract at a specified exercise price at any time during the period of the option. Upon exercise of the option, the delivery of the futures position by the writer of the option to the holder of the option will be accompanied by the delivery of the accumulated balance in the writer`s futures margin account, which represents the amount by which the market price of the futures contract, at exercise, exceeds (in the case of a call) or is less than (in the case of a put) the exercise price of the option on the futures contract. Purchasers of options who fail to exercise their options prior to the exercise date suffer a loss of the premium paid. Options on futures contracts are valued daily at the last sale price on its primary exchange at the time at which the net asset value per share of the funds are computed (close of New York Stock Exchange), or, in the absence of such sale, the mean of closing bid and ask prices.

Writing a put option on a futures contract serves as a partial hedge against an increase in the value of securities the funds intend to acquire. If the futures price at expiration of the option is above the exercise price, the funds will retain the full amount of the option premium, which provides a partial hedge against any increase that may have occurred in the price of the debt securities the funds intend to acquire. If the futures price when the option is exercised is below the exercise price, however, the funds will incur a loss, which may be wholly or partially offset by the decrease in the price of the securities the funds intend to acquire.

Funds investing in municipal securities may trade in municipal bond index option futures or similar options on futures developed in the future. In addition, the funds may trade in options on futures contracts on U.S. government securities and any U.S. government securities futures index contract which might be developed.

From time to time, a single order to purchase or sell futures contracts (or options thereon) may be made on behalf of a fund and other T. Rowe Price funds. Such aggregated orders would be allocated among the fund and the other T. Rowe Price funds in a fair and nondiscriminatory manner.

Call and put options may be purchased or written on financial indices as an alternative to options on futures.

Special Risks of Transactions in Options on Futures Contracts

The risks described under "Special Risks of Transactions in Futures Contracts" are substantially the same as the risks of using options on futures. If the funds were to write an option on a futures contract, it would be required

to deposit initial margin and maintain mark-to-market payments in the same manner as a regular futures contract. In addition, where the funds seek to close out an option position by writing or buying an offsetting option covering the same index, underlying instrument, or contract and having the same exercise price and expiration date, their ability to establish and close out positions on such options will be subject to the maintenance of a liquid secondary market. Reasons for the absence of a liquid secondary market on an exchange include the following: (1) there may be insufficient trading interest in certain options; (2) restrictions may be imposed by an exchange on opening transactions or closing transactions or both; (3) trading halts, suspensions, or other restrictions may be imposed with respect to particular classes or series of options, or underlying instruments; (4) unusual or unforeseen circumstances may interrupt normal operations on an exchange; (5) the facilities of an exchange or a clearing corporation may not at all times be adequate to handle current trading volume; or (6) one or more exchanges could, for economic or other reasons, decide or be compelled at some future date to discontinue the trading of options (or a particular class or series of options), in which event the secondary market on that exchange (or in the class or series of options) would cease to exist, although outstanding options on the exchange that had been issued by a clearing corporation as a result of trades on that exchange would continue to be exercisable in accordance with their terms. There is no assurance that higher- than-anticipated trading activity or other unforeseen events might not, at times, render certain of the facilities of any of the clearing corporations inadequate, and thereby result in the institution by an exchange of special procedures, which may interfere with the timely execution of customers` orders.

In the event no such market exists for a particular contract in which the funds maintain a position, in the case of a written option, the funds would have to wait to sell the underlying securities or futures positions until the option expires or is exercised. The funds would be required to maintain margin deposits on payments until the contract is closed. Options on futures are treated for accounting purposes in the same way as the analogous option on securities are treated.

In addition, the correlation between movements in the price of options on futures contracts and movements in the price of the securities hedged can only be approximate. This risk is significantly increased when an option on a U.S. government securities future or an option on some type of index future is used as a proxy for hedging a portfolio consisting of other types of securities. Another risk is that if the movements in the price of options on futures contracts and the value of the call increase by more than the increase in the value of the securities held as cover, the funds may realize a loss on the call, which is not completely offset by the appreciation in the price of the securities held as cover and the premium received for writing the call.

The successful use of options on futures contracts requires special expertise and techniques different from those involved in portfolio securities transactions. A decision whether, when, and how to hedge involves skill and judgment, and even a well-conceived hedge may be unsuccessful to some degree because of unexpected market behavior or interest rate trends. During periods when municipal securities market prices are appreciating, the funds may experience poorer overall performance than if it had not entered into any options on futures contracts.

General Considerations Transactions by the funds in options on futures will be subject to limitations established by each of the exchanges, boards of trade, or other trading facilities governing the maximum number of options in each class which may be written or purchased by a single investor or group of investors acting in concert, regardless of whether the options are written on the same or different exchanges, boards of trade, or other trading facilities or are held or written in one or more accounts or through one or more brokers. Thus, the number of contracts which the funds may write or purchase may be affected by contracts written or purchased by other investment advisory clients of T. Rowe Price. An exchange, boards of trade, or other trading facility may order the liquidations of positions found to be in excess of these limits, and it may impose certain other sanctions.

Additional Futures and Options Contracts

Although the funds have no current intention of engaging in futures or options transactions other than those described above, it reserves the right to do so. Such futures and options trading might involve risks which differ from those involved in the futures and options described above.

PAGE 263

Foreign Futures and Options

Participation in foreign futures and foreign options transactions involves the execution and clearing of trades on, or subject to the rules of, a foreign board of trade. Neither the National Futures Association nor any domestic exchange regulates activities of any foreign boards of trade, including the execution, delivery, and clearing of transactions, or has the power to compel enforcement of the rules of a foreign board of trade or any applicable foreign law. This is true even if the exchange is formally linked to a domestic market so that a position taken on the market may be liquidated by a transaction on another market. Moreover, such laws or regulations will vary depending on the foreign country in which the foreign futures or foreign options transaction occurs. For these reasons, when the funds trade foreign futures or foreign options contracts, it may not be afforded certain of the protective measures provided by the Commodity Exchange Act, the CFTC`s regulations, and the rules of the National Futures Association and any domestic exchange, including the right to use reparations proceedings before the CFTC and arbitration proceedings provided by the National Futures Association or any domestic futures exchange. In particular, proceeds derived from foreign futures or foreign options transactions may not be provided the same protections as proceeds derived from transactions on U.S. futures exchanges. In addition, the price of any foreign futures or foreign options contract and, therefore, the potential profit and loss thereon may be affected by any variance in the foreign exchange rate between the time the funds` orders are placed and the time they are liquidated, offset, or exercised.

U.S. Treasury Intermediate and U.S. Treasury Long-Term Funds

Limitations on Futures and Options

The funds will not purchase a futures contract or option thereon if, with respect to positions in futures or options on futures which do not represent bona fide hedging, the aggregate initial margin and premiums on such positions would exceed 5% of the funds` net asset value. In addition, neither of the funds will enter into a futures transaction if it would be obligated to purchase or deliver amounts that would exceed 15% of the funds` total assets.

The funds will not write a covered call or put option if, as a result, the aggregate market value of all portfolio securities covering call options or subject to delivery under put options exceeds 15% of the market value of the funds` total assets.

The funds have no current intention of investing in options on individual securities. However, they reserve the right to do so in the future and could be subject to the following limitations: the funds may invest up to 15% of total assets in premiums on put options and 15% of total assets in premiums on call options. The total market value of the funds` obligations under futures contracts and premiums on purchased options will not exceed 15% of each fund`s total assets.

All Funds

Foreign Currency Transactions

A forward foreign currency exchange contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. These contracts are principally traded in the interbank market conducted directly between currency traders (usually large, commercial banks) and their customers. A forward contract generally has no deposit requirement, and no commissions are charged at any stage for trades. The funds may enter into forward contracts for a variety of purposes in connection with the management of the foreign securities portion of their portfolios. The funds` use of such contracts would include, but not be limited to, the following:

First, when the funds enter into a contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency, they may desire to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of the security. By entering into a forward contract for the purchase or sale, for a fixed amount of dollars, of the amount of foreign currency involved in the underlying security transactions, the funds will be able to protect themselves against a possible loss resulting from an adverse change in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and the subject foreign currency during the period between the date the security is purchased or sold and the date on which payment is made or received.

Second, when T. Rowe Price believes that one currency may experience a substantial movement against another currency, including the U.S. dollar, it may enter into a forward contract to sell or buy the amount of the former

foreign currency, approximating the value of some or all of the funds` portfolio securities denominated in such foreign currency. Alternatively, where appropriate, the funds may hedge all or part of their foreign currency exposure through the use of a basket of currencies or a proxy currency where such currency or currencies act as an effective proxy for other currencies. In such a case, the funds may enter into a forward contract where the amount of the foreign currency to be sold exceeds the value of the securities denominated in such currency. The use of this basket hedging technique may be more efficient and economical than entering into separate forward contracts for each currency held in the funds. The precise matching of the forward contract amounts and the value of the securities involved will not generally be possible since the future value of such securities in foreign currencies will change as a consequence of market movements in the value of those securities between the date the forward contract is entered into and the date it matures. The projection of short-term currency market movement is extremely difficult, and the successful execution of a short-term hedging strategy is highly uncertain. Under normal circumstances, consideration of the prospect for relative currency values will be incorporated into the longer-term investment decisions made with regard to overall diversification strategies. However, T. Rowe Price believes that it is important to have the flexibility to enter into such forward contracts when it determines that the best interests of the funds will be served.

Third, the funds may use forward contracts when the funds wish to hedge out of the dollar into a foreign currency in order to create a synthetic bond or money market instrument — the security would be issued in U.S. dollars but the dollar component would be transformed into a foreign currency through a forward contract.

At the maturity of a forward contract, the funds may sell the portfolio security and make delivery of the foreign currency, or they may retain the security and either extend the maturity of the forward contract (by "rolling" that contract forward) or may initiate a new forward contract.

If the funds retain the portfolio security and engage in an offsetting transaction, the funds will incur a gain or a loss (as described below) to the extent that there has been movement in forward contract prices. If the funds engage in an offsetting transaction, they may subsequently enter into a new forward contract to sell the foreign currency. Should forward prices decline during the period between the funds` entering into a forward contract for the sale of a foreign currency and the date they enter into an offsetting contract for the purchase of the foreign currency, the funds will realize a gain to the extent the price of the currency they have agreed to sell exceeds the price of the currency they have agreed to purchase. Should forward prices increase, the funds will suffer a loss to the extent the price of the currency they have agreed to purchase exceeds the price of the currency they have agreed to sell.

The funds may also engage in non-deliverable forward transactions to manage currency risk as well as to gain exposure to a currency, whether or not the fund owns securities denominated in that currency. A non- deliverable forward is a transaction that represents an agreement between a fund and a counterparty to buy or sell a specified amount of a particular currency at an agreed upon foreign exchange rate on a future date. Unlike other currency transactions, there is no physical delivery of the currency on the settlement of a non-deliverable forward transaction. Rather, the fund and the counterparty agree to net the settlement by making a payment in U.S. dollars or another fully convertible currency that represents any difference between the foreign exchange rate agreed upon at the inception of the non-deliverable forward agreement and the actual exchange rate on the agreed upon future date. When currency exchange rates do not move as anticipated, a fund could sustain losses on the non-deliverable forward transaction. This risk is heightened when the transactions involve currencies of emerging market countries.

The funds may enter into forward contracts for any purpose consistent with the funds` investment objectives and programs. However, the funds will not enter into a forward contract, or maintain exposure to any such contract(s), if the amount of foreign currency required to be delivered thereunder would exceed the funds` holdings of liquid, high-grade debt securities, currency available for cover of the forward contract(s), or other suitable cover as permitted by the SEC. In determining the amount to be delivered under a contract, the funds may net offsetting positions.

If the value of the assets being used as cover declines or the amount of the fund`s commitment increases because of changes in currency rates, the fund may need to provide additional cash or securities to satisfy its commitment under the forward agreement. The fund is also subject to the risk that it may be delayed or prevented from obtaining payments owed to it under the forward transaction as a result of the insolvency or bankruptcy of the counterparty or the failure of the counterparty to comply with the terms of the contract.

PAGE 265

There is no assurance that a fund would succeed in pursuing any contractual remedies available under the agreement.

The funds` dealing in forward foreign currency exchange contracts will generally be limited to the transactions described above. However, the funds reserve the right to enter into forward foreign currency contracts for different purposes and under different circumstances. Of course, the funds are not required to enter into forward contracts with regard to their foreign currency-denominated securities and will not do so unless deemed appropriate by T. Rowe Price. It also should be realized that this method of hedging against a decline in the value of a currency does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. It simply establishes a rate of exchange at a future date. Additionally, although such contracts tend to minimize the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, at the same time, they tend to limit any potential gain which might result from an increase in the value of that currency.

Although the funds value their assets daily in terms of U.S. dollars, they do not intend to convert their holdings of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars on a daily basis. They will do so from time to time, and there are costs associated with currency conversion. Although foreign exchange dealers do not charge a fee for conversion, they do realize a profit based on the difference between the prices at which they are buying and selling various currencies. Thus, a dealer may offer to sell a foreign currency to the funds at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange should the funds desire to resell that currency to the dealer.

Federal Tax Treatment of Options, Futures Contracts, and Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts

The funds may enter into certain options, futures, forward foreign exchange contracts, and swaps, including options and futures on currencies. Entering into such transactions can affect the timing and character of the income and gains realized by the funds and the timing and character of fund distributions.

Such contracts , if they qualify as Section 1256 contracts , will be considered to have been closed at the end of the funds` fiscal years and any gains or losses will be recognized for tax purposes at that time. Such gains or losses (as well as gains or losses from the normal closing or settlement of such transactions) will be characterized as 60% long-term capital gain (taxable at a maximum rate of 15%) or loss and 40% short-term capital gain or loss regardless of the holding period of the instrument (ordinary income or loss for foreign exchange contracts). The funds will be required to distribute net gains on such transactions to shareholders even though it may not have closed the transaction and received cash to pay such distributions.

Certain options, futures, forward foreign exchange contracts, and swaps, which offset another security in the fund, including options, futures, and forward exchange contracts on currencies, which offset a foreign dollar- denominated bond or currency position, may be considered straddles for tax purposes. Generally, a loss on any position in a straddle will be subject to deferral to the extent of any unrealized gain in an offsetting position. For securities that were held for one year or less at inception of the straddle, the holding period may be deemed not to begin until the straddle is terminated. If securities comprising a straddle have been held for more than one year at inception of the straddle, losses on offsetting positions may be treated as entirely long-term capital losses even if the offsetting positions have been held for less than one year. However, a fund may choose to comply with certain identification requirements for offsetting positions that are components of a straddle. Losses with respect to identified positions are not deferred, rather the basis of the identified position that offset the loss position is increased.

In order for the funds to continue to qualify for federal income tax treatment as regulated investment companies, at least 90% of their gross income for a taxable year must be derived from qualifying income, e.g ., generally dividends, interest, income derived from loans of securities, and gains from the sale of securities or currencies. Tax regulations could be issued limiting the extent to which the net gain realized from options, futures, or forward foreign exchange contracts on currencies is qualifying income for purposes of the 90% requirement.

Entering into certain options, futures, forward foreign exchange contracts, or swaps may result in a "constructive sale" of offsetting stocks or debt securities of the funds. In such case the funds will be required to realize gain, but not loss, on the sale of such positions as if the position were sold on that date.

For certain options, futures, forward foreign exchange contracts, or swaps, the IRS has not issued comprehensive rules relating to the timing and character of income and gains realized on such contracts.

Although not anticipated, it is possible that final rules could result in changes to the amounts recorded by the funds, potentially resulting in tax consequences to the funds.

Options

Options are a type of potentially high-risk derivative.

Writing Covered Call Options

The funds may write (sell) American or European style "covered" call options and purchase options to close out options previously written. In writing covered call options, the funds expect to generate additional premium income, which should serve to enhance the funds` total return and reduce the effect of any price decline of the security or currency involved in the option. Covered call options will generally be written on securities or currencies which, in T. Rowe Price`s opinion, are not expected to have any major price increases or moves in the near future but which, over the long term, are deemed to be attractive investments for the funds.

A call option gives the holder (buyer) the right to purchase, and the writer (seller) has the obligation to sell, a security or currency at a specified price (the exercise price) at expiration of the option (European style) or at any time until a certain date (the expiration date) (American style). So long as the obligation of the writer of a call option continues, he may be assigned an exercise notice by the broker-dealer through whom such option was sold, requiring him to deliver the underlying security or currency against payment of the exercise price. This obligation terminates upon the expiration of the call option or such earlier time at which the writer effects a closing purchase transaction by repurchasing an option identical to that previously sold. To secure his obligation to deliver the underlying security or currency in the case of a call option, a writer is required to deposit in escrow the underlying security or currency or other assets in accordance with the rules of a clearing corporation.

The funds generally will write only covered call options. This means that the funds will either own the security or currency subject to the option or an option to purchase the same underlying security or currency having an exercise price equal to or less than the exercise price of the "covered" option. From time to time, the funds will write a call option that is not covered as indicated above but where the funds will establish and maintain, with its custodian for the term of the option, an account consisting of cash, U.S. government securities, other liquid high-grade debt obligations, or other suitable cover as permitted by the SEC, having a value equal to the fluctuating market value of the optioned securities or currencies. While such an option would be "covered" with sufficient collateral to satisfy SEC prohibitions on issuing senior securities, this type of strategy would expose the funds to the risks of writing uncovered options , which could result in unlimited losses if a fund writes an uncovered call option .

Portfolio securities or currencies on which call options may be written will be purchased solely on the basis of investment considerations consistent with the funds` investment objectives. The writing of covered call options is a conservative investment technique believed to involve relatively little risk (in contrast to the writing of naked or uncovered options, which the funds generally will not do) but capable of enhancing the funds` total return. When writing a covered call option, the funds, in return for the premium, give up the opportunity for profit from a price increase in the underlying security or currency above the exercise price, but conversely retain the risk of loss should the price of the security or currency decline. Unlike one that owns securities or currencies not subject to an option, the funds have no control over when they may be required to sell the underlying securities or currencies, since they may be assigned an exercise notice at any time prior to the expiration of its obligation as a writer. If a call option the funds have written expires, the funds will realize a gain in the amount of the premium; however, such gain may be offset by a decline in the market value of the underlying security or currency during the option period. If the call option is exercised, the funds will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security or currency. The funds do not consider a security or currency covered by a call to be "pledged" as that term is used in the funds` policy, which limits the pledging or mortgaging of assets. If the fund writes an uncovered option as described above, it will bear the risk of having to purchase the security subject to the option at a price higher than the exercise price of the option. As the price of a security could appreciate substantially, the funds` loss could be significant.

The premium received is the market value of an option. The premium the funds will receive from writing a call option will reflect, among other things, the current market price of the underlying security or currency, the relationship of the exercise price to such market price, the historical price volatility of the underlying security or

PAGE 267

currency, and the length of the option period. Once the decision to write a call option has been made, T. Rowe Price, in determining whether a particular call option should be written on a particular security or currency, will consider the reasonableness of the anticipated premium and the likelihood that a liquid secondary market will exist for those options. The premium received by the funds for writing covered call options will be recorded as a liability of the funds. This liability will be adjusted daily to the option`s current market value, which will be the latest sale price on its primary exchange at the time at which the net asset values per share of the funds are computed (close of the New York Stock Exchange) or, in the absence of such sale, the mean of closing bid and ask prices. The option will be terminated upon expiration of the option, the purchase of an identical option in a closing transaction, or delivery of the underlying security or currency upon the exercise of the option.

Closing transactions will be effected in order to realize a profit on an outstanding call option, to prevent an underlying security or currency from being called, or to permit the sale of the underlying security or currency. Furthermore, effecting a closing transaction will permit the funds to write another call option on the underlying security or currency with either a different exercise price or expiration date or both. If the funds desire to sell a particular security or currency from their portfolios on which they have written a call option, or purchased a put option, they will seek to effect a closing transaction prior to, or concurrently with, the sale of the security or currency. There is, of course, no assurance that the funds will be able to effect such closing transactions at favorable prices. If the funds cannot enter into such a transaction, they may be required to hold a security or currency that they might otherwise have sold. When the funds write a covered call option, they run the risk of not being able to participate in the appreciation of the underlying securities or currencies above the exercise price, as well as the risk of being required to hold on to securities or currencies that are depreciating in value. This could result in higher transaction costs. The funds will pay transaction costs in connection with the writing of options to close out previously written options. Such transaction costs are normally higher than those applicable to purchases and sales of portfolio securities.

Call options written by the funds will normally have expiration dates of less than nine months from the date written. The exercise price of the options may be below, equal to, or above the current market values of the underlying securities or currencies at the time the options are written. From time to time, the funds may purchase an underlying security or currency for delivery in accordance with an exercise notice of a call option assigned to it, rather than delivering such security or currency from their portfolios. In such cases, additional costs may be incurred.

The funds will realize a profit or loss from a closing purchase transaction if the cost of the transaction is less or more than the premium received from the writing of the option. Because increases in the market price of a call option will generally reflect increases in the market price of the underlying security or currency, any loss resulting from the repurchase of a call option is likely to be offset in whole or in part by appreciation of the underlying security or currency owned by the funds.

The funds will not write a covered call option if, as a result, the aggregate market value of all portfolio securities or currencies covering written call or put options exceeds 25% of the market value of the funds` total assets. In calculating the 25% limit, the funds will offset the value of securities underlying purchased calls and puts on identical securities or currencies with identical maturity dates.

Writing Covered Put Options

The funds may write American or European style covered put options and purchase options to close out options previously written by the funds. A put option gives the purchaser of the option the right to sell, and the writer (seller) has the obligation to buy, the underlying security or currency at the exercise price during the option period (American style) or at the expiration of the option (European style). So long as the obligation of the writer continues, he may be assigned an exercise notice by the broker-dealer through whom such option was sold, requiring him to make payment to the exercise price against delivery of the underlying security or currency. The operation of put options in other respects, including their related risks and rewards, is substantially identical to that of call options.

If the funds write put options, they will do so only on a covered basis. This means that the funds would maintain, in a segregated account, cash, U.S. government securities, other liquid high-grade debt obligations, or other suitable cover as determined by the SEC, in an amount not less than the exercise price. Alternatively, the funds will own an option to sell the underlying security or currency subject to the option having an exercise price equal to or greater than the exercise price of the "covered" option at all times while the put option is

outstanding. (The rules of a clearing corporation currently require that such assets be deposited in escrow to secure payment of the exercise price.)

The funds would generally write covered put options in circumstances where T. Rowe Price wishes to purchase the underlying security or currency for the funds` portfolios at a price lower than the current market price of the security or currency. In such event the funds would write a put option at an exercise price which, reduced by the premium received on the option, reflects the lower price it is willing to pay. Since the funds would also receive interest on debt securities or currencies maintained to cover the exercise price of the option, this technique could be used to enhance current return during periods of market uncertainty. The risk in such a transaction would be that the market price of the underlying security or currency would decline below the exercise price, less the premiums received. Such a decline could be substantial and result in a significant loss to the funds. In addition, the funds, because they do not own the specific securities or currencies which they may be required to purchase in exercise of the put, cannot benefit from appreciation, if any, with respect to such specific securities or currencies.

The funds will not write a covered put option if, as a result, the aggregate market value of all portfolio securities or currencies covering put or call options exceeds 25% of the market value of the funds` total assets. In calculating the 25% limit, the funds will offset the value of securities underlying purchased puts and calls on identical securities or currencies with identical maturity dates.

The premium received by the funds for writing covered put options will be recorded as a liability of the funds. This liability will be adjusted daily to the option`s current market value, which will be the latest sale price on its primary exchange at the time at which the net asset value per share of the funds is computed (close of the New York Stock Exchange), or, in the absence of such sale, the mean of the closing bid and ask prices.

Purchasing Put Options

The funds may purchase American or European style put options. As the holder of a put option, the funds have the right to sell the underlying security or currency at the exercise price at any time during the option period (American style) or at the expiration of the option (European style). The funds may enter into closing sale transactions with respect to such options, exercise them, or permit them to expire. The funds may purchase put options for defensive purposes in order to protect against an anticipated decline in the value of their securities or currencies.

The funds may purchase a put option on an underlying security or currency (a "protective put" ) owned by the funds as a defensive technique in order to protect against an anticipated decline in the value of the security or currency. Such hedge protection is provided only during the life of the put option when the funds, as holder of the put option, are able to sell the underlying security or currency at the put exercise price regardless of any decline in the underlying security`s market price or currency`s exchange value. For example, a put option may be purchased in order to protect unrealized appreciation of a security or currency where T. Rowe Price deems it desirable to continue to hold the security or currency because of tax considerations. The premium paid for the put option and any transaction costs would reduce any capital gain otherwise available for distribution when the security or currency is eventually sold.

The funds may also purchase put options at a time when they do not own the underlying security or currency. By purchasing put options on a security or currency they do not own, the funds seek to benefit from a decline in the market price of the underlying security or currency. If the put option is not sold when it has remaining value and if the market price of the underlying security or currency remains equal to or greater than the exercise price during the life of the put option, the funds will lose their entire investment in the put option. In order for the purchase of a put option to be profitable, the market price of the underlying security or currency must decline sufficiently below the exercise price to cover the premium and transaction costs, unless the put option is sold in a closing sale transaction.

The funds will not commit more than 5% of total assets to premiums when purchasing put options. The premium paid by the funds when purchasing a put option will be recorded as an asset of the funds in the portfolio of investments. This asset will be adjusted daily to the option`s current market value, which will be the latest sale price on its primary exchange at the time at which the net asset values per share of the funds are computed (close of New York Stock Exchange) or, in the absence of such sale, the mean of closing bid and ask

PAGE 269

prices. This asset will be terminated upon expiration of the option, the selling (writing) of an identical option in a closing transaction, or the delivery of the underlying security or currency upon the exercise of the option.

Purchasing Call Options

The funds may purchase American or European style call options. As the holder of a call option, the funds have the right to purchase the underlying security or currency at the exercise price at any time during the option period (American style) or at the expiration of the option (European style). The funds may enter into closing sale transactions with respect to such options, exercise them, or permit them to expire. The funds may purchase call options for the purpose of increasing their current return or avoiding tax consequences which could reduce their current return. The funds may also purchase call options in order to acquire the underlying securities or currencies. Examples of such uses of call options are provided next.

Call options may be purchased by the funds for the purpose of acquiring the underlying securities or currencies for their portfolios. Utilized in this fashion, the purchase of call options enables the funds to acquire the securities or currencies at the exercise price of the call option plus the premium paid. At times the net cost of acquiring securities or currencies in this manner may be less than the cost of acquiring the securities or currencies directly. This technique may also be useful to the funds in purchasing a large block of securities or currencies that would be more difficult to acquire by direct market purchases. So long as the funds hold such a call option, rather than the underlying security or currency itself, the funds are partially protected from any unexpected decline in the market price of the underlying security or currency and in such event could allow the call option to expire, incurring a loss only to the extent of the premium paid for the option.

The funds may also purchase call options on underlying securities or currencies they own in order to protect unrealized gains on call options previously written by them. A call option would be purchased for this purpose where tax considerations make it inadvisable to realize such gains through a closing purchase transaction. Call options may also be purchased at times to avoid realizing losses.

The funds will not commit more than 5% of total assets to premiums when purchasing call and put options. The premium paid by the funds when purchasing a call option will be recorded as an asset of the funds in the portfolio of investments. This asset will be adjusted daily to the option`s current market value, which will be the latest sale price on its primary exchange at the time at which the net asset values per share of the funds are computed (close of New York Stock Exchange), or, in the absence of such sale, the mean of closing bid and ask prices.

Dealer (Over-the-Counter) Options

The funds may engage in transactions involving dealer options. Certain risks , including credit risk and counterparty risk, are specific to dealer options. While the funds would look to a clearing corporation to exercise exchange-traded options, if the funds were to purchase a dealer option, they would rely primarily on the dealer from whom they purchased the option to perform if the option were exercised. Failure by the dealer to do so c ould result in the loss of the premium paid by the funds as well as loss of the expected benefit of the transaction.

Exchange-traded options generally have a continuous liquid market, while dealer options are less liquid or co u ld have no liquidity . Consequently, the funds will generally be able to realize the value of a dealer option they have purchased only by exercising it or reselling it to the dealer who issued it. Under certain conditions, the funds may also be able to resell or assign a purchased dealer option to another dealer on substantially the sam e terms. Similarly, when the funds write a dealer option, unless they can assign the option to another dealer, they generally will be able to close out the option prior to its expiration only by entering into a closing purchase transaction with the dealer to which the funds originally wrote the option. While the funds will seek to enter into dealer options only with dealers who will agree to and are expected to be capable of entering into closing transactions with the funds, there can be no assurance that the dealers will consent to the closing transaction nor is it assured that the funds will realize a favorable price . Until the funds, as a covered dealer call option writer, are able to effect a closing purchase transaction, they will not be able to liquidate securities (or other assets) or currencies used as cover until the option expires or is exercised. In the event of insolvency of the counter-party, the funds may be unable to liquidate a dealer option. With respect to options written by the funds, the inability to enter into a closing transaction may result in material losses to the funds.

The staff of the SEC has taken the position that purchased dealer options and the assets used to secure the written dealer options are illiquid securities. The funds may treat the cover used for written Over-the-Counter ( "OTC" ) options as liquid if the dealer agrees that the funds may repurchase the OTC option they have written for a maximum price to be calculated by a predetermined formula. In such cases, the OTC option would be considered illiquid only to the extent the maximum repurchase price under the formula exceeds the intrinsic value of the option.

For certain types of OTC options that have substantially similar terms to exchange-traded options, the funds may treat such options, and the underlying cover used for written options, as liquid based on the following factors : (1) the frequency and availability of dealer quotes and the comparability to prices available on an options exchange; (2) the number of dealers willing to purchase or accept assignments of such OTC options; and (3) the nature of the OTC options, their settlement terms and their termination provisions (i.e., the time needed to close out or terminate an OTC position, method of soliciting offers, and mechanics of transfer).

Warrants

Warrants can be highly volatile and have no voting rights, pay no dividends, and have no rights with respect to the assets of the corporation issuing them. Warrants basically are options to purchase securities at a specific price valid for a specific period of time. They do not represent ownership of the securities, but only the right to buy them. Warrants differ from call options in that warrants are issued by the issuer of the security which may be purchased on their exercise, whereas call options may be written or issued by anyone. The prices of warrants do not necessarily move parallel to the prices of the underlying securities.

There are, of course, other types of securities that are or may become available that are similar to the foregoing, and the funds may invest in these securities.

Hybrid Instruments

A hybrid instrument is a debt security, preferred stock, depository share, trust certificate, certificate of deposit, or other evidence of indebtedness on which a portion of or all interest payments, and/or the principal or stated amount payable at maturity, redemption, or retirement is determined by reference to prices, changes in prices, or differences between prices of securities, currencies, intangibles, goods, articles, or commodities (collectively, "underlying assets" ) or by another objective index, economic factor, or other measure, such as interest rates, currency exchange rates, commodity indices, and securities indices (collectively, "benchmarks" ). Thus, hybrid instruments may take a variety of forms, including, but not limited to, debt instruments with interest or principal payments or redemption terms determined by reference to the value of a currency or commodity or securities index at a future point in time, preferred stock with dividend rates determined by reference to the value of a currency, or convertible securities with the conversion terms related to a particular commodity.

Hybrid instruments can be an efficient means of creating exposure to a particular market, or segment of a market, with the objective of enhancing total return. For example, the funds may wish to take advantage of expected declines in interest rates in several European countries, but avoid the transaction costs associated with buying and currency-hedging the foreign bond positions. One solution would be to purchase a U.S. dollar- denominated hybrid instrument whose redemption price is linked to the average three-year interest rate in a designated group of countries. The redemption price formula would provide for payoffs of greater than par if the average interest rate was lower than a specified level, and payoffs of less than par if rates were above the specified level. Furthermore, the funds could limit the downside risk of the security by establishing a minimum redemption price so that the principal paid at maturity could not be below a predetermined minimum level if interest rates were to rise significantly. The purpose of this arrangement, known as a structured security with an embedded put option, would be to give the funds the desired European bond exposure while avoiding currency risk, limiting downside market risk, and lowering transaction costs. Of course, there is no guarantee that the strategy will be successful, and the funds could lose money if, for example, interest rates do not move as anticipated or credit problems develop with the issuer of the hybrid instruments.

The risks of investing in hybrid instruments reflect a combination of the risks of investing in securities, options, futures, and currencies. Thus, an investment in a hybrid instrument may entail significant risks that are not associated with a similar investment in a traditional debt instrument that has a fixed principal amount, is denominated in U.S. dollars, or bears interest either at a fixed rate or a floating rate determined by reference to a common, nationally published benchmark. The risks of a particular hybrid instrument will, of course, depend

PAGE 271

upon the terms of the instrument, but may include, without limitation, the possibility of significant changes in the benchmarks or the prices of underlying assets to which the instrument is linked. Such risks generally depend upon factors which are unrelated to the operations or credit quality of the issuer of the hybrid instrument and which may not be readily foreseen by the purchaser, such as economic and political events, the supply of and demand for the underlying assets, and interest rate movements. In recent years, various benchmarks and prices for underlying assets have been highly volatile, and such volatility may be expected in the future. Reference is also made to the discussion of futures, options, and forward contracts herein for a discussion of the risks associated with such investments.

Hybrid instruments are potentially more volatile and can carry greater market risks than traditional debt instruments. Depending on the structure of the particular hybrid instrument, changes in a benchmark may be magnified by the terms of the hybrid instrument and have an even more dramatic and substantial effect upon the value of the hybrid instrument. Also, the prices of the hybrid instrument and the benchmark or underlying asset may not move in the same direction or at the same time.

Hybrid instruments may bear interest or pay preferred dividends at below market (or even relatively nominal) rates. Alternatively, hybrid instruments may bear interest at above market rates but bear an increased risk of principal loss (or gain). The latter scenario may result if "leverage" is used to structure the hybrid instrument. Leverage risk occurs when the hybrid instrument is structured so that a given change in a benchmark or underlying asset is multiplied to produce a greater value change in the hybrid instrument, thereby magnifying the risk of loss as well as the potential for gain.

Hybrid instruments may also carry liquidity risk since the instruments are often "customized" to meet the portfolio needs of a particular investor, and therefore, the number of investors that are willing and able to buy such instruments in the secondary market may be smaller than that for more traditional debt securities. In addition, because the purchase and sale of hybrid instruments could take place in an over-the-counter market without the guarantee of a central clearing organization or in a transaction between the fund and the issuer of the hybrid instrument, the creditworthiness of the counterparty or issuer of the hybrid instrument would be an additional risk factor which the funds would have to consider and monitor. Hybrid instruments also may not be subject to regulation by the CFTC , which generally regulates the trading of commodity futures by U.S. persons, the SEC, which regulates the offer and sale of securities by and to U.S. persons, or any other governmental regulatory authority.

Swap Agreements

A number of the funds may enter into interest rate, index, total return, credit, and, to the extent they may invest in foreign currency-denominated securities, currency rate swap agreements. The funds may also enter into options on swap agreements (" swap tions ") on the types of swaps listed above as well as swap forwards .

Swap agreements are typically two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for a specified period of time. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on a particular predetermined investment, index, or currency. The gross returns to be exchanged or swapped between the parties are generally calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate, in a particular foreign currency, or in a basket of securities representing a particular index. A swaptio n is a contract that gives a counterparty the right (but not the obligation) to enter into a new swap agreement or to shorten, extend, cancel, or otherwise modify an existing swap agreement at some designated future time on specified terms. The funds may write (sell) and purchase put and call swaptions . A swap forward is an agreement to enter into a swap agreement at some point in the future, usually in 3 to 6 months .

One example of the use of swaps by the funds is to manage the interest rate sensitivity of the funds. The funds might receive or pay a fixed-rate interest rate of a particular maturity and pay or receive a floating rate in order to increase or decrease the duration of the funds. Or, the funds may buy or sell swaptions to effect the same result. The funds may also replicate a security by selling it, placing the proceeds in cash deposits, and receiving a fixed rate in the swap market.

Another example is the use of credit default swaps to buy or sell credit protection. A credit default swap is a contract that enables an investor to buy or sell protection against a predetermined issuer credit event. The seller of a credit default swap may enhance income by guaranteeing the creditworthiness of the debt issuer and the

buyer is provided with protection against credit risks of the issuer . Market supply and demand factors may cause distortions between the cash securities market and the default swap market.

Most swap agreements entered into by the funds would calculate the obligations of the parties to the agreement on a "net basis." Consequently, the funds` current obligations (or rights) under a swap agreement will generally be equal only to the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement based on the relative values of the positions held by each party to the agreement (the "net amount" ). The funds` current obligations under a net swap agreement will be accrued daily (offset against any amounts owed to the funds) and any accrued but unpaid net amounts owed to a swap counterparty will be covered by assets determined to be liquid by T. Rowe Price.

The use of swap agreements by the funds entails certain risks. Interest rate and currency swaps could result in losses if interest rate or currency changes are not correctly anticipated by the funds. Total return swaps could result in losses if the reference index, security, or investments do not perform as anticipated by the funds. Credit default swaps could result in losses if the funds do not correctly evaluate the creditworthiness of the company on which the credit default swap is based.

The funds will generally incur a greater degree of risk when it writes a swaption than when it purchases a swaption . When the funds purchase a swaptio n it risks losing only the amount of the premium they have paid should they decide to let the option expire unexercised. However, when the funds write a swaptio n they will become obligated, upon exercise of the option, according to the terms of the underlying agreement.

Because swaps are two-party contracts and because they may have terms of greater than seven days, swap agreements may be considered to be illiquid. Moreover, the funds bear the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty. The funds will enter into swap agreements only with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness. The swaps market is largely unregulated. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the funds` ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements.

There are other types of securities that are or may become available that are similar to the foregoing, and the funds may invest in these securities.

Portfolio Management Practices

Lending of Portfolio Securities

Securities loans are made to broker-dealers, institutional investors, or other persons pursuant to agreements requiring that the loans be continuously secured by collateral at least equal at all times to the value of the securities lent, marked to market on a daily basis. The collateral received will consist of cash, U.S. government securities, letters of credit, or such other collateral as may be permitted under the funds` investment program. The collateral, in turn, is invested in short-term securities , including shares of the TRP Reserve Investment Funds . While the securities are being lent, the funds making the loan will continue to receive the equivalent of the interest or dividends paid by the issuer on the securities, as well as a portion of the interest on the investment of the collateral. Normally, the funds employ an agent to implement their securities lending program and the agent receives a fee from the funds for its services. The funds have a right to call each loan and obtain the securities within such period of time that coincides with the normal settlement period for purchases and sales of such securities in the respective markets. The funds will not have the right to vote on securities while they are being lent, but they may call a loan in anticipation of any important vote, when practical. The risks in lending portfolio securities, as with other extensions of secured credit, consist of a possible default by the borrower, delay in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the securities, or possible loss of rights in the collateral, should the borrower fail financially. Loans will be made only to firms deemed by T. Rowe Price to be of good standing and will not be made unless, in the judgment of T. Rowe Price, the consideration to be earned from such loans would justify the risk. Additionally, the funds bear the risk that the reinvestment of collateral will result in a principal loss. Finally, there is also the risk that the price of the securities will increase while they are on loan and the collateral will not adequately cover their value.

PAGE 273

Interfund Borrowing and Lending

The funds are parties to an exemptive order received from the SEC on December 8, 1998, amended on November 23, 1999, that permits them to borrow money from and/or lend money to other funds in the T. Rowe Price complex. All loans are set at an interest rate between the rates charged on overnight repurchase agreements and short-term bank loans. All loans are subject to numerous conditions designed to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all participating funds. The program is subject to the oversight and periodic review of the Boards of the Price Funds.

Repurchase Agreements

The funds may enter into a repurchase agreement through which an investor (such as the funds) purchases securities (known as the "underlying security" ) from well-established securities dealers or banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System. Any such dealer or bank will be on T. Rowe Price`s approved list. At that time, the bank or securities dealer agrees to repurchase the underlying security at the same price, plus specified interest. Repurchase agreements are generally for a short period of time, often less than a week. Repurchase agreements that do not provide for payment within seven days will be treated as illiquid securities. The funds will enter into repurchase agreements only where (1) the underlying securities are of the type (excluding maturity limitations) which the funds` investment guidelines would allow them to purchase directly, (2) the market value of the underlying security, including interest accrued, will be at all times equal to or exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, and (3) payment for the underlying security is made only upon physical delivery or evidence of book-entry transfer to the account of the custodian or a bank acting as agent. In the event of a bankruptcy or other default of a seller of a repurchase agreement, the funds could experience both delays in liquidating the underlying security and losses, including: (a) possible decline in the value of the underlying security during the period while the funds seek to enforce their rights thereto; (b) possible subnormal levels of income and lack of access to income during this period; and (c) expenses of enforcing their rights.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

Although the funds have no current intention of engaging in reverse repurchase agreements, they reserve the right to do so. Reverse repurchase agreements are ordinary repurchase agreements in which a fund is the seller of, rather than the investor in, securities and agrees to repurchase them at an agreed upon time and price. Use of a reverse repurchase agreement may be preferable to a regular sale and later repurchase of the securities because it avoids certain market risks and transaction costs. A reverse repurchase agreement may be viewed as a type of borrowing by the funds, subject to Investment Restriction (1). (See "Investment Restrictions.")

Money Market Reserves

The funds may invest their cash reserves primarily in one or more money market funds established for the exclusive use of the T. Rowe Price family of mutual funds and other clients of T. Rowe Price. Currently, two such money market funds are in operation: T. Rowe Price Government Reserve Investment Fund ( "GRF" ) and T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Fund ( "RIF" ), each a series of the T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Funds, Inc. Additional series may be created in the future. These funds were created and operate under an exemptive order issued by the SEC.

Both funds must comply with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act governing money market funds. GRF invests primarily in a portfolio of U.S. government-backed securities, primarily U.S. Treasuries, and repurchase agreements thereon. RIF invests at least 9 7 % of its total assets in prime money market instruments receiving the highest credit rating.

GRF and RIF provide a very efficient means of managing the cash reserves of the funds. While neither GRF nor RIF pays an advisory fee to T. Rowe Price, they will incur other expenses. However, GRF and RIF are expected by T. Rowe Price to operate at very low expense ratios. The funds will only invest in GRF or RIF to the extent consistent with their investment objectives and programs.

Neither fund is insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Although the funds seek to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in them.

High Yield, Institutional Floating Rate, and Institutional High Yield Funds

Short Sales

The funds may make short sales for hedging purposes to protect them against companies whose credit is deteriorating. Short sales are transactions in which the funds sell a security they do not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security. The funds` short sales would be limited to situations where the funds own a debt security of a company and would sell short the common or preferred stock or another debt security at a different level of the capital structure of the same company. No securities will be sold short if, after the effect is given to any such short sale, the total market value of all securities sold short would exceed 2% of the value of the funds` net assets.

To complete a short-sale transaction, the funds must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. The funds then are obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing it at the market price at the time of replacement. The price at such time may be more or less than the price at which the security was sold by the fund. Until the security is replaced, the funds are required to pay to the lender amounts equal to any dividends or interest which accrue during the period of the loan. To borrow the security, the funds also may be required to pay a premium, which would increase the cost of the security sold. The proceeds of the short sale will be retained by the broker, to the extent necessary to meet margin requirements, until the short position is closed out.

Until the funds replace a borrowed security in connection with a short sale, the funds will: (a) maintain daily a segregated account, containing cash, U.S. government securities, or other suitable cover as permitted by the SEC, at such a level that (i) the amount deposited in the account plus the amount deposited with the broker as collateral will equal the current value of the security sold short and (ii) the amount deposited in the segregated account plus the amount deposited with the broker as collateral will not be less than the market value of the security at the time it was sold short; or (b) otherwise cover its short position.

The funds will incur a loss as a result of the short sale if the price of the security sold short increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the funds replace the borrowed security. The funds will realize a gain if the security sold short declines in price between those dates. This result is the opposite of what one would expect from a cash purchase of a long position in a security. The amount of any gain will be decreased, and the amount of any loss increased, by the amount of any premium, dividends, or interest the funds may be required to pay in connection with a short sale. Any gain or loss on the security sold short would be separate from a gain or loss on the funds` security being hedged by the short sale.

The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 requires a mutual fund to recognize gain upon entering into a constructive sale of stock, a partnership interest, or certain debt positions occurring after June 8, 1997. A constructive sale is deemed to occur if the funds enter into a short sale, an offsetting notional principal contract, or a futures or forward contract which is substantially identical to the appreciated position. Some of the transactions in which the funds are permitted to invest may cause certain appreciated positions in securities held by the funds to qualify as a "constructive sale," in which case it would be treated as sold and the resulting gain subjected to tax or, in the case of a mutual fund, distributed to shareholders. If this were to occur, the funds would be required to distribute such gains even though it would receive no cash until the later sale of the security. Such distributions could reduce the amount of cash available for investment by the funds. Because these rules do not apply to "straight" debt transactions, it is not anticipated that they will have a significant impact on the funds; however, the effect cannot be determined until the issuance of clarifying regulations.

Investment Restrictions

Fundamental policies may not be changed without the approval of the lesser of (1) 67% of the funds` shares present at a meeting of shareholders if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present in person or by proxy or (2) more than 50% of the funds` outstanding shares. Other restrictions in the form of operating policies are subject to change by the funds` Boards without shareholder approval. Any investment restriction which involves a maximum percentage of securities or assets shall not be considered to be violated unless an excess over the percentage occurs immediately after, and is caused by, an acquisition of securities or assets of, or borrowings by, the funds. With the exception of the diversification test required by the Code,

PAGE 275

calculation of the funds` total assets for compliance with any of the following fundamental or operating policies or any other investment restrictions set forth in the funds` prospectuses or SAI will not include collateral held in connection with securities lending activities. For purposes of the tax diversification test, calculation of the fund`s total assets will include investments made with cash received by the funds as collateral for securities loaned. The diversification test required by the Code is set forth in the prospectuses of the funds referred to by name in restrictions (8) and (9) below.

Fundamental Policies

As a matter of fundamental policy, the funds may not:

(a) Borrowing (All funds except Spectrum Funds) Borrow money , except that the funds may (i) borrow for non-leveraging, temporary, or emergency purposes; and (ii) engage in reverse repurchase agreements and make other investments or engage in other transactions, which may involve a borrowing, in a manner consistent with the funds` investment objectives and programs, provided that the combination of (i) and (ii) shall not exceed 33xb6 / xb8 % of the value of the funds` total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings) or such other percentage permitted by law. Any borrowings which come to exceed this amount will be reduced in accordance with applicable law. The funds may borrow from banks, other Price Funds, or other persons to the extent permitted by applicable law;

NOTES

The following Notes should be read in connection with the above-described fundamental policies. The Notes are not fundamental policies.

Money funds With respect to investment restriction (1), the funds have no current intention of engaging in any borrowing transactions.

All funds except Retirement and Spectrum Funds With respect to investment restriction (2), the funds do not consider currency contracts or hybrid investments to be commodities.

All funds except Retirement and Spectrum Funds For purposes of investment restriction (4):

U.S., state, or local governments, or related agencies or instrumentalities, are not considered an industry.

Industries are determined by reference to the classifications of industries and sub-industries set forth in the Morgan Stanley Capital International/Standard & Poor`s (MSCI/S&P) Global Industry Classification Standard for the International Equity Funds, Tax-Efficient Equity , and Equity Funds except Financial Services, Global Infrastructure, Global Technology, Media & Telecommunications, New Era, Real Assets, and Science & Technology Funds. For Financial Services, Global Infrastructure, Global Technology, Media & Telecommunications, New Era, Real Assets, and Science & Technology Funds, industries are determined by reference to industry classifications set forth in their semiannual and annual reports. For the Corporate Income, Inflation Focused Bond, Inflation Protected Bond, Institutional Core Plus, New Income, Short-Term Bond, Strategic Income, and U.S. Bond Index Funds , and the fixed income investments of the Balanced and Personal Strategy Funds, industries are determined by reference to the classifications of industries and sub-industries set forth in the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index. For the Emerging Markets Bond, GNMA, High Yield, Institutional Emerging Markets Bond, Institutional Floating Rate, Institutional High Yield, Institutional International Bond, International Bond, Prime Reserve, TRP Reserve Investment, Summit Income, and U.S. Treasury Funds, industries are determined by reference to industry classifications set forth in their semiannual and annual reports. Annual changes by MSCI/S&P or Barclays Capital to their classifications will be implemented within 30 days after the effective date of the change. The Africa & Middle East Fund, Institutional Africa & Middle East Fund, and Latin America Fund consider telephone and banking companies of a single country to be separate industr ies from telephone and banking companies of any other country. It is the position of the staff of the SEC that foreign governments are industries for purposes of this restriction. For as long as this staff position is in effect, the International Bond Funds will not invest more than 25% of total assets in the securities of any single foreign governmental issuer. For purposes of this restriction, governmental entities are considered separate issuers.

All funds except Summit Income and U.S. Bond Index Funds For purposes of investment restriction (5), the funds will consider the acquisition of a debt security to include the execution of a note or other evidence of an extension of credit with a term of more than nine months.

All funds except Spectrum Funds For purposes of investment restrictions (8) and (9), the funds will treat bonds which are refunded with escrowed U.S. government securities as U.S. government securities.

Taxable Bond and Money Funds For purposes of investment restrictions (8) and (9), the funds will consider a repurchase agreement fully collateralized with U.S. government securities to be U.S. government securities.

With respect to investment restriction (11), under the 1940 Act, an open-end investment company can borrow money from a bank provided that immediately after such borrowing there is asset coverage of at least 300% for all borrowings. If the asset coverage falls below 300%, the company must, within three business days, reduce the amount of its borrowings to satisfy the 300% requirement.

For purposes of investment restriction (13), the funds measure the amount of their income from taxable securities, including AMT securities, over the course of the funds` taxable year.

Operating Policies

As a matter of operating policy, the funds may not:

Borrowing Purchase additional securities when money borrowed exceeds 5% of total assets (any borrowings under the TALF are not included within this 5% limitation);

Control of Portfolio Companies Invest in companies for the purpose of exercising management or control;

Equity Securities (California Tax-Free Income Trust, State Tax-Free Income Trust, and Tax-Free Funds) Purchase any equity security or security convertible into an equity security, provided that the funds (other than the Money Funds) may invest up to 10% of total assets in equity securities, which pay tax-exempt dividends and which are otherwise consistent with the funds` investment objectives and, further provided, that Money Funds may invest up to 10% of total assets in equity securities of other tax-free open-end money market funds;

NOTES

The following Notes should be read in connection with the above-described operating policies. The Notes are not operating policies.

If a fund is subject to an 80% name test as set forth in its prospectus, it will be based on the fund`s net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes. For purposes of determining whether a fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in a particular country or geographic region, the fund uses the country assigned to a security by MSCI Barra or another unaffiliated third-part y data provider . The funds generally follow this same process with respect to the remaining 20% of assets but may occasionally make an exception after assessing various factors relating to a company.

Blue Chip Growth, Capital Opportunity, Diversified Small-Cap Growth, Financial Services, Global Technology, Health Sciences, High Yield, Institutional High Yield, Media & Telecommunications, Mid- Cap Value, Personal Strategy, Real Estate, Summit Income, Summit Municipal, U.S. Bond Index, and Value Funds

Notwithstanding anything in the previously listed fundamental and operating restrictions to the contrary, the funds listed above may invest all of their assets in a single investment company or a series thereof in connection with a "master-feeder" arrangement. Such an investment would be made where the funds (a "Feeder" ), and one or more other funds with the same investment objective and program as the funds, sought to accomplish their investment objectives and programs by investing all of their assets in the shares of another investment company (the "Master" ). The Master would, in turn, have the same investment objective and program as the funds. The funds would invest in this manner in an effort to achieve the economies of scale associated with having a Master fund make investments in portfolio companies on behalf of a number of Feeder funds.

Foreign Investments

In addition to the restrictions previously described , some foreign countries limit, or prohibit, all direct foreign investment in the securities of their companies. However, P-notes may sometimes be used to gain access to these markets. In addition, the governments of some countries have authorized the organization of investment funds to permit indirect foreign investment in such securities. For tax purposes, these funds may be known as Passive Foreign Investment Companies. The funds are subject to certain percentage limitations under the 1940 Act relating to the purchase of securities of investment companies, and may be subject to the limitation that no more than 10% of the value of the fund`s total assets may be invested in such securities.

Retirement and Spectrum Funds

There is no limit on the amount the funds may own of the total outstanding voting securities of registered investment companies which are members of the Price Funds. The funds, in accordance with their prospectuses, may invest more than 5% of their total assets in any one or more of the Price Funds. The funds may invest more

than 10% of their total assets, collectively, in registered investment companies which are members of the Price Funds.

Custodian

State Street Bank and Trust Company is the custodian for the funds` U.S. securities and cash, but it does not participate in the funds` investment decisions. Portfolio securities purchased in the U.S. are maintained in the custody of the bank and may be entered into the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or the security depository system of the Depository Trust Corporation, or any central depository system allowed by federal law. In addition, funds investing in municipal securities are authorized to maintain certain of their securities, in particular, variable rate demand notes, in uncertificated form, in the proprietary deposit systems of various dealers in municipal securities. State Street Bank`s main office is at 225 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110. State Street Bank maintains shares of the Retirement and Spectrum Funds in the book entry system of the funds` transfer agent, T. Rowe Price Services, Inc.

All funds that can invest in foreign securities have entered into a Custodian Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, London, pursuant to which portfolio securities which are purchased outside the United States are maintained in the custody of various foreign branches of JPMorgan Chase Bank and such other custodians, including foreign banks and foreign securities depositories as are approved in accordance with regulations under the 1940 Act. The address for JPMorgan Chase Bank, London is Woolgate House, Coleman Street, London, EC2P 2HD, England.

Code of Ethics

The funds, their investment adviser (T. Rowe Price International for international funds and T. Rowe Price for all other funds), and their principal underwriter (T. Rowe Price Investment Services) have a written Code of Ethics and Conduct which requires persons with access to investment information ( "Access Persons" ) to obtain prior clearance before engaging in most personal securities transactions. Transactions must be executed within three business days of their clearance. In addition, all Access Persons must report their personal securities transactions within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter. Aside from certain limited transactions involving securities in certain issuers with high trading volumes, Access Persons are typically not permitted to effect transactions in a security if: there are pending client orders in the security; the security has been purchased or sold by a client within seven calendar days; the security is being considered for purchase for a client; a change has occurred in T. Rowe Price`s rating of the security within seven calendar days prior to the date of the proposed transaction; or the security is subject to internal trading restrictions. In addition, Access Persons are prohibited from profiting from short-term trading (e.g., purchases and sales involving the same security within 60 days). Any person becoming an Access Person must file a statement of personal securities holdings within 10 days of this date. All Access Persons are required to file an annual statement with respect to their personal securities holdings. Any material violation of the Code of Ethics is reported to the Boards of the funds. The Boards also review the administration of the Code of Ethics on an annual basis.

Disclosure of Fund Portfolio Information

Each fund`s portfolio holdings are disclosed on a regular basis in its semiannual and annual reports to shareholders as well as Form N-Q which is filed with the SEC within 60 days of a fund`s first and third fiscal quarter-end. In addition, the funds` Boards have adopted policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the funds` portfolio securities and the disclosure of portfolio commentary and statistical information about the funds` portfolios and their securities. The policy on the general manner in which the funds` portfolio securities are disclosed is set forth in the funds` prospectuses. In addition, portfolio holdings with respect to periods prior to the most recent quarter-end may be disclosed upon request, subject to the sole discretion of T. Rowe Price.

This S AI sets forth details of the funds` policy on portfolio holdings disclosure as well as the funds` policy on disclosing information about the funds` portfolios. In adopting the policies, the Boards of the funds took into account the views of the equity, fixed income and/or international steering committees of the funds` investment

PAGE 281

advisers on what information should be disclosed and when and to whom it should be disclosed. The steering committees have oversight responsibilities for managing the T. Rowe Price funds. Each steering committee is comprised of senior investment management personnel of T. Rowe Price or T. Rowe Price International, as applicable. Each committee as a whole determines the funds` policy on the disclosure of portfolio holdings and related information. The funds` Boards believe the policies they have adopted are in the best interests of the funds and that they strike an appropriate balance between the desire of some persons for information about the funds` portfolios and the need to protect the funds from potentially harmful disclosures.

From time to time, officers of the funds, the funds` investment adviser or the funds` distributor (collectively "T R P " ) may express their views orally or in writing on one or more of the funds` portfolio securities or may state that the funds have recently purchased or sold one or more securities. Such views and statements may be made to members of the press, shareholders in the funds, persons considering investing in the funds or representatives of such shareholders or potential shareholders, such as fiduciaries of a 401(k) plan or a trust and their advisers and rating and ranking organizations such as Lipper Inc. and Morningstar, Inc. The nature and content of the views and statements provided to each of these persons may differ. The securities subject to these views and statements may be ones that were purchased or sold since the funds` most recent quarter-end and therefore may not be reflected on the list of the funds` most recent quarter-end portfolio holdings disclosed on the Web site.

Additionally, T R P may provide oral or written information ( "portfolio commentary" ) about the funds, including, but not limited to, how the funds` investments are divided among various sectors, industries, countries, value and growth stocks, small-, mid-, and large-cap stocks, and among stocks, bonds, currencies, and cash, types of bonds, bond maturities, bond coupons, and bond credit quality ratings. This portfolio commentary may also include information on how these various weightings and factors contributed to fund performance. TRP may also provide oral or written information ( "statistical information" ) about various financial characteristics of the funds or their underlying portfolio securities including, but not limited to, alpha, beta, R-squared, duration, maturity, information ratio, Sharpe ratio, earnings growth, payout ratio, price/book value, projected earnings growth, return on equity, standard deviation, tracking error, weighted average quality, market capitalization, percent debt to equity, price to cash flow, dividend yield or growth, default rate, portfolio turnover, and risk and style characteristics. This portfolio commentary and statistical information about the funds may be based on the funds` most recent quarter-end portfolio or on some other interim period such as month-end. The portfolio commentary and statistical information may be provided to members of the press, shareholders in the funds, persons considering investing in the funds or representatives of such shareholders or potential shareholders, such as fiduciaries of a 401(k) plan or a trust and their advisers and rating and ranking organizations. The content and nature of the information provided to each of these persons may differ.

None of the persons described above will receive any of the information described above if, in the sole judgment of TRP , the information could be used in a manner that would be harmful to the funds. The T. Rowe Price Code of Ethics contains a provision to this effect.

TRP also discloses portfolio holdings in connection with the day-to-day operations and management of the funds. Full portfolio holdings are disclosed to the funds` custodians and auditors. Portfolio holdings are disclosed to the funds` pricing service vendors and other persons who provide systems or software support in connection with fund operations, including accounting, compliance support, and pricing. Portfolio holdings may also be disclosed to persons assisting the funds in the voting of proxies. In connection with managing the funds, the funds` investment advisers may use analytical systems provided by third parties who may have access to the funds` portfolio holdings. In all of these situations, the funds or TRP have entered into an agreement with the outside party under which the party undertakes to maintain the funds` portfolio holdings on a confidential basis and to refrain from trading on the basis of the information. TRP relies on these non-disclosure agreements in determining that such disclosures are not harmful to the funds. The names of these persons and the services they provide are set forth in the following table under "Fund Service Providers." The policies and procedures adopted by the funds` Boards require that any additions to the list of "Fund Service Providers" be approved by specified officers at TRP .

Additionally, when purchasing and selling its securities through broker-dealers, requesting bids on securities, obtaining price quotations on securities as well as in connection with litigation involving the funds` portfolio securities, the funds may disclose one or more of their securities. The funds have not entered into formal non-

disclosure agreements in connection with these situations; however, the funds would not continue to conduct business with a person who TRP believed was misusing the disclosed information.

Pricing of Securities

All Price Funds (except Money Funds and Fund-of-Funds)

PAGE 283

E quity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last quoted sale price or, for certain markets, the official closing price at the time the valuations are made, except for OTC Bulletin Board securities, which are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices. A security that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security. Listed securities not traded on a particular day are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices for domestic securities and the last quoted sale price for international securities.

Debt securities are generally traded in the over-the-counter market. Securities with remaining maturities of one year or more at the time of acquisition are valued using prices furnished by dealers who make markets in such securities or by an independent pricing service, which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type, as well as prices quoted by dealers who make markets in such securities. S ecurities with remaining maturities of less than one year at the time of acquisition generally use amortized cost in local currency to approximate fair value. However, if amortized cost is deemed not to reflect fair value or the fund holds a significant amount of such securities with remaining maturities of more than 60 days, the securities are valued at prices furnished by dealers who make markets in such securities , or by an independent pricing service .

Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund`s closing net asset value per share on the day of valuation. Purchased and written listed options , and over-the-counter options with a listed equivalent, are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices. Options on futures contracts are valued at the last sale price. Foreign currency forward contracts are valued using the prevailing forward exchange rate. Financial futures contracts are valued at closing settlement price s . Swap s are valued at prices furnished by i ndependent swap dealers or by an independent pricing service.

Price Funds Investing in Foreign Securities

Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate, using the mean of the bid and asked prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars as quoted by a major bank . Purchases and sales of securities, income, and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of th e transaction .

Trading in the portfolio securities of the funds may take place in various foreign markets on certain days (such as Saturday ) when the funds are not open for business and do not calculate their net asset value. As a result, net asset values may be significantly affected by trading on days when shareholders cannot make transactions. In addition, trading in the funds` portfolio securities may not occur on days when the funds are open.

If a fund determines that developments between the close of a foreign market and the close of the New York Stock Exchange (" NYSE ") will, in its judgment, materially affect the value of some or all of its portfolio securities, that fund will adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities as of the close of the NYSE . The fund uses outside pricing services to provide it with closing prices and information to evaluate and/or adjust those prices. As a means of evaluating its security valuation process, the fund routinely compares closing prices, the next day`s opening prices in the same markets, and adjusted prices.

Money Funds

S ecurities are valued at amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act .

Fund-of-Funds

Investments in the underlying Price funds held by each fund are valued at their closing net asset value per share on the day of valuatio n.

All Price Funds

Other investments, including restricted securities, and those for which the above valuation procedures are inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value are stated at fair value as determined in good faith by the T. Rowe Price Valuation Committee, established by the funds` Boards.

Net Asset Value Per Share

The purchase and redemption price of the funds` shares is equal to the funds` net asset value per share or share price. The funds determine their net asset value per share by subtracting their liabilities (including accrued expenses and dividends payable) from their total assets (the market value of the securities the funds hold plus cash and other assets, including income accrued but not yet received) and dividing the result by the total number of shares outstanding. The net asset value per share of the funds is calculated as of the close of trading on the NYSE every day the NYSE is open for trading. Determination of net asset value (and the offering, sale, redemption, and repurchase of shares) for the funds may be suspended at times (a) during which the NYSE is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closings , (b) during which trading on the NYSE is restricted, (c) during which an emergency exists as a result of which disposal by the funds of securities owned by them is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable for the funds fairly to determine the value of their net assets, or (d) during which a governmental body having jurisdiction over the funds may by order permit such a suspension for the protection of the funds` shareholders, provided that applicable rules and regulations of the SEC (or any succeeding governmental authority) shall govern as to whether the conditions prescribed in (b), (c), or (d) exist.

Money Funds

Maintenance of Money Funds` Net Asset Value per Share at $1.00

It is the policy of the funds to attempt to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share by using the amortized cost method of valuation permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Under this method, securities are valued by reference to the funds` acquisition costs as adjusted for amortization of premium or accumulation of discount, rather than by reference to their market value. Under Rule 2a-7:

(a) The Boards must establish written procedures reasonably designed, taking into account current market conditions and the funds` investment objectives, to stabilize the funds` net asset value per share, as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption, and repurchase, at a single value;

( b) The funds must (i) maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity appropriate to their objective of maintaining a stable price per share ; (ii) not purchase any instrument with a remaining maturity greater than 397 days ; (iii) maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 60 days or less; (iv) maintain a dollar-weighted average life of 120 days or less; and (v) the taxable funds must hold at least 10% of their total assets in daily liquid assets, as defined in Rule 2a-7, and must hold at least 30% of their total assets in weekly liquid assets, as defined in Rule 2a-7.

(c) The funds must limit their purchase of portfolio instruments, including repurchase agreements, to those U.S. dollar-denominated instruments which the funds` Boards determine present minimal credit risks and which are eligible securities as defined by Rule 2a-7; and

(d) The Boards must determine that (i) it is in the best interest of the funds and the shareholders to maintain a stable net asset value per share under the amortized cost method; and (ii) the funds will continue to use the amortized cost method only so long as the Boards believe that it fairly reflects the market-based net asset value per share.

Although the funds believe that they will be able to maintain their net asset value at $1.00 per share under most conditions, there can be no absolute assurance that they will be able to do so on a continuous basis. If the funds` net asset value per share declined, or was expected to decline, below $1.00 (rounded to the nearest one cent), the Boards of the funds might temporarily reduce or suspend dividend payments in an effort to maintain the net asset value at $1.00 per share. As a result of such reduction or suspension of dividends, an investor would receive less income during a given period than if such a reduction or suspension had not taken place. Such action could result in an investor receiving no dividend for the period during which he holds his shares and in his receiving, upon redemption, a price per share lower than that which he paid. On the other hand, if the funds` net asset value per share were to increase, or were anticipated to increase, above $1.00 (rounded to the nearest one cent), the Boards of the funds might supplement dividends in an effort to maintain the net asset value at $1.00 per share.

The funds may suspend redemptions and payment of redemption proceeds if: the funds` Board determines that the deviation between a fund`s amortized cost price per share and its market-based net asset value per share may

PAGE 285

result in material dilution or unfair results; the Board has irrevocably approved the liquidation of the fund; and the fund notifies the SEC of its decision to liquidate prior to suspending redemptions.

Prime Reserve and TRP Reserve Investment Funds

Prime Money Market Securities Defined

Prime money market securities are those which are described as First Tier Securities under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. These include any security with a remaining maturity of 397 days or less that is rated (or that has been issued by an issuer that is rated with respect to a class of short-term debt obligations, or any security within that class that is comparable in priority and security with the security) by any two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) (or if only one NRSRO has issued a rating, that NRSRO) in the highest rating category for short-term debt obligations (within which there may be sub-categories). First Tier Securities also include unrated securities comparable in quality to rated securities, as determined by T. Rowe Price under the supervision of the funds` Boards.

Dividends and Distributions

Unless you elect otherwise, capital gain distributions, final quarterly dividends and annual dividends, if any, will be reinvested on the reinvestment date using the net asset values per share on that date. The reinvestment date normally precedes the payment date by one day, although the exact timing is subject to change and can be as great as 10 days.

I n -K ind R edemptions and Purchases

Redemptions In-Kind

Each Price F und has filed with the SEC a notice of election under Rule 18f-1 of the 1940 Act. This election permits a f und to effect a redemption in - kind if, in any 90-day period, a shareholder redeems: (i) more than $250,000 from the fund; or (ii) redeems more than 1% of the fund`s net assets. If either of these conditions is met, the fund has the right to pay the difference between the redemption amount and the lesser of these two figures with securities from the fund`s portfolio rather than in cash.

In the unlikely event a shareholder receives an in-kind redemption of portfolio securities from a f und, it would be the responsibility of the shareholder to dispose of the securities. The shareholder would be subject to the risk s that the value of the securities c ould decline prior to their sale, the securities could be difficult to sell, and brokerage fees could be incurred.

Issuance of Fund Shares for Securities

Transactions involving issuance of fund shares for securities or assets other than cash will be limited to (1) bona fide reorganizations; (2) statutory mergers; or (3) other acquisitions of portfolio securities that: (a) meet the investment objectives and policies of the funds; (b) are acquired for investment and not for resale except in accordance with applicable law; (c) have a value that is readily ascertainable via listing on or trading in a recognized United States or international exchange or market; and (d) are not illiquid.

Tax Status

The funds intend to qualify as "regulated investment companies" under Subchapter M of the Code.

To be entitled to the special tax benefits applicable to regulated investment companies, the funds will be required to distribute the sum of 90% of their investment company taxable income and 90% of their net tax- exempt income, if any, each year. In order to avoid federal income tax, the funds must distribute all of their investment company taxable income and realized long-term capital gains for each fiscal year within 12 months after the end of the fiscal year. To avoid federal excise tax, the funds must declare dividends by December 31 of each year equal to at least 98% of ordinary income (as of December 31) and capital gains (as of October 31) and distribute such amounts prior to February 1 of the following calendar year. Shareholders are required to include

such distributions in their income for federal income tax purposes whether dividends and capital gain distributions are paid in cash or in additional shares.

For individual shareholders, a portion of the funds` ordinary dividends representing "qualified dividend income" may be subject to tax at the lower rate applicable to long-term capital gains, rather than ordinary income. Unless extended, this favorable provision will expire on December 31, 2010 , and ordinary dividends will again be taxed at tax rates applicable to ordinary income. "Qualified dividend income" is comp o sed of certain dividends received from domestic and qualified foreign corporations. It excludes dividends representing payments in lieu of dividends related to loaned securities, dividends received on certain hedged positions, dividends on non- qualified foreign corporations, and dividends on stocks the funds have not held for more than 60 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the stock became ex-dividend (90 and 181 days for certain preferred stock). Individual shareholders can only apply the lower rate to the qualified portion of the funds` dividends if they have held the shares in the funds on which the dividends were paid for the holding period surrounding the ex-dividend date of the funds` dividends. Little, if any, of the ordinary dividends from the Tax- Free, Taxable Bond, and Taxable Money Funds is expected to qualify for this lower rate.

For corporate shareholders, a portion of the funds` ordinary dividends may be eligible for the 70% deduction for dividends received by corporations to the extent the funds` income consists of dividends paid by U.S. corporations. This deduction does not include dividends representing payments in lieu of dividends related to loaned securities, dividends received on certain hedged positions , dividends received from certain foreign corporations, and dividends on stocks the funds have not held for more than 45 days during the 90-day period beginning 45 days before the stock became ex-dividend (90 and 180 days for certain preferred stock). Corporate shareholders can only apply the lower rate to the qualified portion of the funds` dividends if they have held the shares in the funds on which the dividends were paid for the holding period surrounding the ex- dividend date of the funds` dividends. Little, if any, of the ordinary dividends from the Tax-Free, International (except Global Infrastructure, Global Large-Cap Stock, Global Stock, and Institutional Global Large-Cap Equity Funds), Taxable Bond, and Taxable Money Funds is expected to qualify for this deduction. Long-term capital gain distributions paid by the funds are not eligible for the dividends-received deduction.

At the time of your purchase of shares (except in Money Funds), the funds` net asset value may reflect undistributed income, capital gains, or net unrealized appreciation of securities held by the funds. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable as either dividend or capital gain distributions. The funds may be able to reduce the amount of such distributions by utilizing their capital loss carry-overs, if any. For federal income tax purposes, the funds are permitted to carry forward their net realized capital losses, if any, for eight years and use such losses, subject to applicable limitations, to offset net capital gains up to the amount of such losses without being required to pay taxes on, or distribute, such gains.

However, the amount of capital losses that can be carried forward and used in any single year may be limited if a fund experiences an "ownership change" within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code. An ownership change generally results when the shareholders owning 5% or more of the fund increase their aggregate holdings by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period. An ownership change could result in capital loss carry-overs to expire unused, thereby reducing a fund`s ability to offset capital gains with those losses. An increase in the amount of taxable gains distributed to the fund`s shareholders could result from an ownership change. The Price Funds undertake no obligation to avoid or prevent an ownership change, which can occur in the normal course of shareholder purchases and redemptions. Moreover, because of circumstances beyond a fund`s control, there can be no assurance that fund will not experience, or has not already experienced, an ownership change.

If, in any taxable year, a fund does not qualify as a regulated investment company under the Code: (1) the fund would be taxed at the normal corporate rates on the entire amount of its taxable income, if any, without a deduction for dividends or other distributions to shareholders; (2) the fund`s distributions, to the extent made out of the fund`s current or accumulated earnings and profits, would be taxable to shareholders as ordinary dividends regardless of whether they would otherwise have been considered capital gain dividends; (3) the fund may qualify for the 70% deduction for dividends received by corporations; and (4) foreign tax credits would not "pass through" to shareholders.

PAGE 287

Taxation of Foreign Shareholders

Foreign shareholders may be subject to U.S. tax on the sale of shares in any fund, or on distributions of ordinary income and/or capital gains realized by a fund, depending on a number of factors, including the foreign shareholder`s country of tax residence, its other U.S. operations (if any), and the nature of the distribution received. Foreign shareholders should consult their own tax adviser to determine the precise U.S. and local tax consequences to an investment in any fund.

Retirement and Spectrum Funds

Distributions by the underlying Price funds, redemptions of shares in the underlying Price funds, and changes in asset allocations may result in taxable distributions of ordinary income or capital gains. In addition, the funds will generally not be able to currently offset gains realized by one underlying Price fund in which the funds invest against losses realized by another underlying Price fund. These factors could affect the amount, timing, and character of distributions to shareholders.

State Tax-Free and Tax-Free Funds

The funds anticipate that substantially all of the dividends to be paid by each fund will be exempt from federal income taxes. It is possible that a portion of the funds` dividends is not exempt from federal income taxes . You will receive a Form 1099-DIV , Form 1099 - INT, or other IRS forms, as required, reporting the taxability of all dividends. The funds will also advise you of the percentage of your dividends, if any, which should be included in the computation of the alternative minimum tax. Social Security recipients who receive income dividends from tax-free funds may have to pay taxes on a portion of their Social Security benefits.

Because the income dividends of the funds are expected to be derived from tax-exempt interest on municipal securities, any interest on money you borrow that is directly or indirectly used to purchase fund shares is not deductible. Further, entities or persons that are "substantial users" (or persons related to "substantial users") of facilities financed by industrial development bonds should consult their tax advisers before purchasing shares of these funds. The income from such bonds may not be tax-exempt for such substantial users.

Foreign Income Taxes

Income received by the funds from sources within various foreign countries may be subject to foreign income taxes. Under the Code, if more than 50% of the value of the funds` total assets at the close of the taxable year comprises securities issued by foreign corporations or governments, the funds may file an election to "pass through" to the funds` shareholders any eligible foreign income taxes paid by the funds. There can be no assurance that the funds will be able to do so. Pursuant to this election, shareholders will be required to: (1) include in gross income, even though not actually received, their pro-rata share of foreign income taxes paid by the funds; (2) treat their pro-rata share of foreign income taxes as paid by them; and (3) either deduct their pro-rata share of foreign income taxes in computing their taxable income, or use it as a foreign tax credit against U.S. income taxes subject to certain limitations (but not both). A deduction for foreign income taxes may only be claimed by a shareholder who itemizes deductions.

Foreign Currency Gains and Losses

Foreign currency gains and losses, including the portion of gain or loss on the sale of debt securities attributable to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, are taxable as ordinary income. If the net effect of these transactions is a gain, the ordinary income dividend paid by the funds will be increased. If the result is a loss, the ordinary income dividend paid by the funds will be decreased, or, to the extent such dividend has already been paid, it may be classified as a return of capital. Adjustments to reflect these gains and losses will be made at the end of the funds` taxable year.

Passive Foreign Investment Companies

The funds may purchase , directly or indirectly , the securities of certain foreign investment funds or trusts, called "passive foreign investment companies" for U.S. tax purposes. S ometimes such investments are the only or primary way to invest in companies in certain countries. Some or all of the c apital gains on the sale of such holdings may be considered ordinary income regardless of how long the funds held the investment. In addition, the funds may be subject to corporate income tax and /or an interest charge on certain dividends and capital gains earned from these investments , regardless of whether such income and gains are distributed to shareholders.

To avoid such tax and /or interest, the funds intend to treat these securities , when possible, as sold on the last day of each of their fiscal years and to recognize any gains for tax purposes at that time; deductions for losses may be allowable only to the extent of any gains resulting from these deemed sales in prior taxable years. Such gains and losses will be treated as ordinary income or losses. The funds will be required to distribute any resulting income, even though they have not sold the security and received cash to pay such distributions.

Investing in Mortgage Entities

Special tax rules may apply to the funds` investments in entities which invest in or finance mortgage debt. Such investments include residual interests in Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits and interests in a REIT which qualifies as a taxable mortgage pool under the Code or has a qualified REIT subsidiary that is a taxable mortgage pool under the Code. Although it is the practice of the funds not to make such investments , there is no guarantee that the funds will be able to sustain this practice or avoid an inadvertent investment.

Such investments may result in the funds receiving excess inclusion income ( " EII " ) in which case a portion of its distributions will be characterized as EII and shareholders receiving such distributions, including shares held through nominee accounts, will be deemed to have received EII. This can result in the funds being required to pay tax on the portion allocated to disqualified organizations: certain cooperatives, agencies or instrumentalities of a government or international organization, and tax-exempt organizations that are not subject to tax on unrelated business taxable income. In addition, such amounts will be treated as unrelated business taxable income to tax-exempt organizations that are not disqualified organizations, and will be subject to a 30% withholding tax for shareholders who are not U.S. persons, notwithstanding any exemptions or rate reductions in any relevant tax treaties.

Capital Stock (Maryland Corporations)

All funds except Capital Appreciation, Equity Income, GNMA, and New America Growth Funds, and California Tax-Free Income Trust and State Tax-Free Income Trust

All of the funds, other than those listed immediately above, are organized as Maryland corporations ( "Corporations" ) or series thereof. The funds` Charters authorize the Boards to classify and reclassify any and all shares which are then unissued, including unissued shares of capital stock into any number of classes or series; each class or series consisting of such number of shares and having such designations, such powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations, and restrictions as shall be determined by the Boards subject to the 1940 Act and other applicable law. The shares of any such additional classes or series might therefore differ from the shares of the present class and series of capital stock and from each other as to preferences, conversions, or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications, or terms or conditions of redemption, subject to applicable law, and might thus be superior or inferior to the capital stock or to other classes or series in various characteristics. The Boards may increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that the funds have authorized to issue without shareholder approval.

Except to the extent that the funds` Boards might provide that holders of shares of a particular class are entitled to vote as a class on specified matters presented for a vote of the holders of all shares entitled to vote on such matters, there would be no right of class vote unless and to the extent that such a right might be construed to exist under Maryland law. The directors have provided that as to any matter with respect to which a separate vote of any class is required by the 1940 Act, such requirement as to a separate vote by that class shall apply in lieu of any voting requirements established by the Maryland General Corporation Law. Otherwise, holders of each class of capital stock are not entitled to vote as a class on any matter. Accordingly, the preferences, rights, and other characteristics attaching to any class of shares might be altered or eliminated, or the class might be combined with another class or classes, by action approved by the vote of the holders of a majority of all the shares of all classes entitled to be voted on the proposal, without any additional right to vote as a class by the holders of the capital stock or of another affected class or classes.

Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each full share held (and fractional votes for fractional shares held) and will vote in the election of or removal of directors (to the extent hereinafter provided) and on other matters submitted to the vote of shareholders. There will normally be no meetings of shareholders for the purpose of electing directors unless and until such time as less than a majority of the directors holding office have been

PAGE 289

elected by shareholders, at which time the directors then in office will call a shareholders` meeting for the election of directors. Except as set forth above, the directors shall continue to hold office and may appoint successor directors. Voting rights are not cumulative, so that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting in the election of directors can, if they choose to do so, elect all the directors of the funds, in which event the holders of the remaining shares will be unable to elect any person as a director. As set forth in the By-Laws of the Corporations, a special meeting of shareholders of the Corporations shall be called by the secretary of the Corporations on the written request of shareholders entitled to cast (a) in the case of a meeting for the purpose of removing a director, at least ten (10) percent and (b) in the case of a meeting for any other purpose, at least 25 percent, in each case of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting, provided that any such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on. Shareholders requesting such a meeting must pay to the Corporations the reasonably estimated costs of preparing and mailing the notice of the meeting. The Corporations, however, will otherwise assist the shareholders seeking to hold the special meeting in communicating to the other shareholders of the Corporations to the extent required by Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act.

The series (and classes) set forth in the following table have been established by the Boards under the Articles of Incorporation of the indicated Corporations. Each series represents a separate pool of assets of the Corporations` shares and has different objectives and investment policies. Maryland law provides that the debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses incurred with respect to a particular series or class are enforceable against the assets associated with that series or class only. The Articles of Incorporation also provide that the Boards may issue additional series of shares. Each share of each fund represents an equal proportionate share in that fund with each other share and is entitled to such dividends and distributions of income belonging to that fund as are declared by the directors. In the event of the liquidation of a fund, each share is entitled to a pro-rata share of the net assets of that fund. Classes represent separate shares in the funds but share the same portfolios as the indicated funds. Each fund is registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act as an open-end management investment company, commonly known as a "mutual fund." <R>

Balanced Fund

On August 31, 1992, the T. Rowe Price Balanced Fund acquired substantially all of the assets of the Axe- Houghton Fund B, a series of Axe-Houghton Funds, Inc. As a result of this acquisition, the SEC requires that the historical performance information of the Balanced Fund be based on the performance of Fund B. Therefore, all performance information of the Balanced Fund prior to September 1, 1992, reflects the performance of Fund B and investment managers other than T. Rowe Price. Performance information after August 31, 1992, reflects the combined assets of the Balanced Fund and Fund B.

Media & Telecommunications Fund

On July 28, 1997, the fund converted its status from a closed-end fund to an open-end mutual fund. Prior to the conversion the fund was known as New Age Media Fund, Inc.

Small-Cap Stock Fund

Effective May 1, 1997, the fund`s name was changed from the T. Rowe Price OTC Fund to the T. Rowe Price Small-Cap Stock Fund.

Equity Index 500 Fund

Effective January 30, 1998, the fund`s name was changed from T. Rowe Price Equity Index Fund to the T. Rowe Price Equity Index 500 Fund.

Organization of the Funds (Massachusetts Business Trusts)

Capital Appreciation, Equity Income, GNMA, and New America Growth Funds , and California Tax- Free Income Trust and State Tax-Free Income Trust

For tax and business reasons, these funds were organized as Massachusetts business trusts ( "Trusts" ) . Each fund is registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act as an open-end management investment company, commonly known as a "mutual fund."

The Declaration of Trust permits the Boards to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of a single class. The Declaration of Trust also provides that the Boards may issue additional series or classes of shares. Each share represents an equal proportionate beneficial interest in the funds. In the event of the liquidation of the funds, each share is entitled to a pro-rata share of the net assets of the funds.

Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each full share held (and fractional votes for fractional shares held) and will vote in the election of or removal of trustees (to the extent hereinafter provided) and on other matters submitted to the vote of shareholders. There will normally be no meetings of shareholders for the purpose of electing trustees unless and until such time as less than a majority of the trustees holding office have been elected by shareholders, at which time the trustees then in office will call a shareholders` meeting for the election of trustees. Pursuant to Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act, holders of record of not less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the funds may remove a trustee by a vote cast in person or by proxy at a meeting called for that purpose. Except as set forth above, the trustees shall continue to hold office and may appoint successor trustees. Voting rights are not cumulative, so that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting in the election of trustees can, if they choose to do so, elect all the trustees of the Trusts, in which event the holders of the remaining shares will be unable to elect any person as a trustee. No amendments may be made to the Declaration of Trust without the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Trusts.

Shares have no preemptive or conversion rights; the right of redemption and the privilege of exchange are described in the prospectus. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set forth below. The Trusts may be terminated (i) upon the sale of their assets to another open-end management investment company, if approved by the vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Trusts, or (ii) upon liquidation and distribution of the assets of the Trusts, if approved by the vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Trusts. If not so terminated, the Trusts will continue indefinitely.

Under Massachusetts law, shareholders could, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the funds. However, the Declaration of Trust disclaims shareholder liability for acts or obligations of the funds and requires that notice of such disclaimer be given in each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the funds or trustees. The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification from fund property for all losses and expenses of any shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the funds. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which the funds themselves would be unable to meet their obligations, a possibility which T. Rowe Price believes is remote. Upon payment of any liability incurred by the funds, the shareholders of the funds paying such liability will be entitled to reimbursement from the general assets of the funds. The trustees intend to conduct the operations of the funds in such a way as to avoid, as far as possible, ultimate liability of the shareholders for liabilities of such funds.

The series and classes set forth in the following table have been established by the Boards under the Declaration of Trust of the indicated trusts.

Proxy Voting — P rocess and Policies

T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. and T. Rowe Price International, Inc. ( "T. Rowe Price" ) recognize and adhere to the principle that one of the privileges of owning stock in a company is the right to vote on issues submitted to shareholder vote — such as election of directors and important matters affecting a company`s structure and operations. As an investment advis e r with a fiduciary responsibility to its clients, T. Rowe Price analyzes the proxy statements of issuers whose stock is owned by the investment companies that it sponsors and serves as investment advis e r. T. Rowe Price also is involved in the proxy process on behalf of its institutional and private counsel clients who have requested such service. For those private counsel clients who have not delegated their voting responsibility but who request advice, T. Rowe Price makes recommendations regarding proxy voting. T. Ro we Price reserves the right to decline to vote proxies in accordance with client-specific voting guidelines.

Proxy Administration

The T. Rowe Price Proxy Committee develops our firm`s positions on all major corporate and social responsibility issues, creates guidelines, and oversees the voting process. The Proxy Committee, composed of portfolio managers, investment operations managers, and internal legal counsel, analyzes proxy policies based on whether they would adversely affect shareholders` interests and make a company less attractive to own. In evaluating proxy policies each year, the Proxy Committee relies upon our own fundamental research, independent proxy research provided by third parties such as RiskMetrics Group ( "RMG" ) (formerly known as Institutional Shareholder Services ) and Glass Lewis, and information presented by company managements and shareholder groups.

Once the Proxy Committee establishes its recommendations, they are distributed to the firm`s portfolio managers as voting guidelines. Ultimately, the portfolio manager decides how to vote on the proxy proposals of companies in his or her portfolio. Because portfolio managers may have differences of opinion on portfolio companies and their proxies, or their portfolios may have different investment objectives, these factors, among others, may lead to different votes between portfolios on the same proxies. When portfolio managers cast votes that are counter to the Proxy Committee`s guidelines, they are required to document their reasons in writing to the Proxy Committee. Annually, the Proxy Committee reviews T. Rowe Price`s proxy voting process, policies, and voting records.

T. Rowe Price has retained RMG , an expert in the proxy voting and corporate governance area, to provide proxy advisory and voting services. These services include in-depth research, analysis, and voting recommendations as well as vote execution, reporting, auditing and consulting assistance for the handling of proxy voting responsibility and corporate governance-related efforts. While the Proxy Committee relies upon RMG research in establishing T. Rowe Price`s voting guidelines — many of which are consistent with RMG positions — T. Rowe Price deviate s from RMG recommendations on some general policy issues and a number of specific proxy proposals.

Fiduciary Considerations

T. Rowe Price`s decisions with respect to proxy issues are made in light of the anticipated impact of the issue on the desirability of investing in the portfolio company. Proxies are voted solely in the interests of the client, Price Fund shareholders or, where employee benefit plan assets are involved, in the interests of plan participants and beneficiaries. Practicalities and costs involved with international investing may make it impossible at times, and at other times disadvantageous, to vote proxies in every instance. For example, we might refrain from voting if we or our agents are required to appear in person at a shareholder meeting or if the exercise of voting rights results in the imposition of trading or other ownership restrictions.

Consideration Given Management Recommendations

One of the primary factors T. Rowe Price considers when determining the desirability of investing in a particular company is the quality and depth of its management. We recognize that a company`s management is entrusted with the day-to-day operations of the company, as well as its long-term direction and strategic planning, subject to the oversight of the company`s board of directors. Accordingly, our proxy voting guidelines are not intended to substitute our judgment for management`s with respect to the company`s day-to-day operations. Rather, our voting guidelines are designed to promote accountability of a company's management and board of directors to its shareholders , to align the interests of management with those of shareholders , and to encourage companies to adopt best practices in terms of their corporate governance. In addition to our voting guidelines, we rely on a company`s disclosures, its board`s recommendations, a company`s track record, country-specific best practices codes, our research providers and, most importantly, our investment professionals` views, in making voting decisions .

T. Rowe Price Voting Policies

Specific voting guidelines have been established by the Proxy Committee for recurring issues that appear on proxies . The following is a summary of the more significant T. Rowe Price policies:

Election of Directors

T. Rowe Price generally supports slates with a majority of independent directors. We vote against outside directors that do not meet certain criteria relating to their independence but who serve on key board committees. We vote against directors who are unable to dedicate sufficient time to their board duties due to their commitment to other boards. We may vote against certain directors who have served on company boards where we believe there has been a gross failure in governance or oversight. T . Rowe Price also votes against inside directors serving on key board committees and di rectors who miss more than one-fourth of the scheduled board meetings. We may vote against directors for fail ing to establish a formal nominating committee , as well as compensation committee members who approve excessive compensation plans . We support efforts to elect all board members annually because boards with staggered terms act as deterrents to takeover proposals. To strengthen boards` accountability to shareholders, T. Rowe Price generally supports proposals calling for a majority vote threshold for the election of directors .

Executive Compensation

Our goal is to assure that a company`s equity-based compensation plan is aligned with shareholders` long-term interests. We evaluate plans on a case-by-case basis, using a proprietary, scorecard-based approach that employs a number of factors, including dilution to shareholders, problematic plan features, burn rate, and the equity compensation mix. Plans that are constructed to effectively and fairly align executives` and shareholders` incentives generally earn our approval. Conversely, we oppose compensation packages that provide what we view as excessive awards to few senior executives, contain the potential for excessive dilution relative to the company`s peers, or rely on an inappropriate mix of options and full-value awards. We also may oppose equity plans at any company where we deem the overall compensation practices to be problematic. We generally oppose plans that give a company the ability to reprice options or to grant options at below market prices , unless such plans appropriately balance shareholder and employee interests, and the retention of key personnel has become a genuine risk to the company`s business. For companies with particularly egregious pay practices , we may vote against compensation committee members. Finally, we vote in favor of proposals (either management or shareholder-sponsored) calling for shareholder ratification of a company`s executive compensation practices ("Say-on-Pay" proposals) a majority of the time.

PAGE 297

Mergers and Acquisitions

T. Rowe Price considers takeover offers, mergers, and other extraordinary corporate transactions on a case-by- case basis to determine if they are beneficial to shareholders` current and future earnings stream and to ensure that our Price Funds and clients are receiving fair compensation in exchange for their investment.

Anti-takeover, Capital Structure , and Corporate Governance Issues

T. Rowe Price generally opposes anti-takeover measures and other proposals designed to limit the ability of shareholders to act on possible transactions. Such anti-takeover mechanisms include classified boards, supermajority voting requirements, dual share classes and poison pills. We also oppose proposals that give management a "blank check" to create new classes of stock with disparate rights and privileges. When voting on capital structure proposals, we will consider the dilutive impact to shareholders and the effect on shareholder rights. We generally support shareholder proposals that call for the separation of the Chairman and CEO positions unless there are sufficient governance safeguards already in place. With respect to proposals for the approval of a company`s auditor, we typically oppose auditors who have a significant non-audit relationship with the company.

Social and Corporate Responsibility Issues

T. Rowe Price generally votes with a company`s management on social, environmental , and corporate responsibility issues unless they have substantial investment implications for the company`s business and operations that have not been adequately addressed by management. T. Rowe Price support s well-targeted shareholder proposals on environmental and other public policy issues that are particularly relevant to a company`s businesses.

Monitoring and Resolving Conflicts of Interest

The Proxy Committee is also responsible for monitoring and resolving possible material conflicts between the interests of T. Rowe Price and those of its clients with respect to proxy voting. We have adopted safeguards to ensure that our proxy voting is not influenced by interests other than those of our fund shareholders . While membership on the Proxy Committee is diverse, it does not include individuals whose primary duties relate to client relationship management, marketing , or sales. Since our voting guidelines are pre determined by the Proxy Committee using recommendations from RMG , an independent third party, application of the T. Rowe Price guidelines to vote clients` proxies should in most instances adequately address any possible conflicts of interest. However, for proxy votes inconsistent with T. Rowe Price guidelines, the Proxy Committee reviews all such proxy votes in order to determine whether the portfolio manager`s voting rationale appears reasonable. The Proxy Committee also assesses whether any business or other relationships between T. Rowe Price and a portfolio company could have influenced an inconsistent vote on that company`s proxy. Issues raising possible conflicts of interest are referred to designated members of the Proxy Committee for immediate resolution prior to the time T. Rowe Price casts its vote. With respect to personal conflicts of interest, T. Rowe Price`s Code of Ethics requires all employees to avoid placing themselves in a "compromising position" where their interests may conflict with those of our clients and restricts their ability to engage in certain outside business activities. Portfolio managers or Proxy Committee members with a personal conflict of interest regarding a particular proxy vote must recuse themselves and not participate in the voting decisions with respect to that proxy.

Index, Retirement , and Spectrum Funds

Voting of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. , common stock (sym: TROW) by certain T. Rowe Price index funds will be done in all instances in accordance with T. Rowe Price policy, and votes inconsistent with policy will not be permitted. The Retirement and Spectrum F unds own shares in underlying T. Rowe Price funds. If an underlying T. Rowe Price fund has a shareholder meeting, the Retirement and Spectrum Funds normally would vote their shares in the underlying fund in the same proportion as the votes of the other shareholders of the underlying fund. This is known as "echo voting" and is designed to avoid any potential for a conflict of interest. This same process would be followed with respect to any T. Rowe Price funds owning shares in other T. Rowe Price funds.

T. Rowe Price Proxy Vote Disclosure

T. Rowe Price funds make broad disclosure of their proxy votes on troweprice.com and on the SEC`s Internet site at http://www.sec.gov. All funds, regardless of their fiscal years, must file with the SEC by August 31, their proxy voting records for the most recent 12-month period ended June 30.

Federal Registration of Shares

The funds` shares (except for TRP Government Reserve Investment and TRP Reserve Investment Funds) are registered for sale under the 1933 Act. Registration of the funds` shares are not required under any state law, but the funds are required to make certain filings with and pay fees to the states in order to sell their shares in the states.

Legal Counsel

Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, whose address is 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, is legal counsel to the funds.

Ratings of Commercial Paper

Moody`s Investors Service, Inc. P-1 superior capacity for repayment. P-2 strong capacity for repayment. P-3 acceptable capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations.

Standard & Poor`s Corporation A-1 highest category, degree of safety regarding timely payment is strong. Those issues determined to possess extremely strong safety characteristics are denoted with a plus sign (+) designation. A-2 satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest. A-3 adequate capacity for timely payment, but are more vulnerable to adverse effects of changes in circumstances than higher-rated issues. B and C speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.

Fitch Ratings F-1+ exceptionally strong credit quality, strongest degree of assurance for timely payment. F-1 very strong credit quality. F-2 good credit quality, having a satisfactory degree of assurance for timely payment. F-3 fair credit quality, assurance for timely payment is adequate, but adverse changes could cause the securities to be rated below investment grade.

Moody`s Investors Service, Inc. The rating of Prime-1 is the highest commercial paper rating assigned by Moody`s. Among the factors considered by Moody`s in assigning ratings are the following: valuation of the management of the issuer; economic evaluation of the issuer`s industry or industries and an appraisal of speculative-type risks which may be inherent in certain areas; evaluation of the issuer`s products in relation to competition and customer acceptance; liquidity; amount and quality of long-term debt; trend of earnings over a period of 10 years; financial strength of the parent company and the relationships which exist with the issuer; and recognition by the management of obligations which may be present or may arise as a result of public interest questions and preparations to meet such obligations. These factors are all considered in determining whether the commercial paper is rated P1, P2, or P3.

Standard & Poor`s Corporation Commercial paper rated A (highest quality) by S&P has the following characteristics: liquidity ratios are adequate to meet cash requirements; long-term senior debt is rated "A" or better, although in some cases "BBB" credits may be allowed. The issuer has access to at least two additional channels of borrowing. Basic earnings and cash flow have an upward trend with allowance made for unusual circumstances. Typically, the issuer`s industry is well established and the issuer has a strong position within the industry. The reliability and quality of management are unquestioned. The relative strength or weakness of the above factors determines whether the issuer`s commercial paper is rated A1, A2, or A3.

Fitch Ratings Fitch 1 — Highest grade Commercial paper assigned this rating is regarded as having the strongest degree of assurance for timely payment. Fitch 2 — Very good grade Issues assigned this rating reflect an assurance of timely payment only slightly less in degree than the strongest issues.

Ratings of Corporate and Municipal Debt Securities

Moody`s Investors Service, Inc.

Aaa — Bonds rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as "gilt edge d ."

Aa — Bonds rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together with the Aaa group, they comprise what are generally known as high-grade bonds.

A — Bonds rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to be considered as upper medium-grade obligations.

Baa — Bonds rated Baa are considered as medium-grade obligations, i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for the present, but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as well.

Ba — Bonds rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements: their futures cannot be considered as well assured. Often the protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate and thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class.

B — Bonds rated B generally lack the characteristics of a desirable investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or of maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.

Caa — Bonds rated Caa are of poor standing. Such issues may be in default, or there may be present elements of danger with respect to repayment of principal or payment of interest.

Ca — Bonds rated Ca represent obligations which are speculative in a high degree. Such issues are often in default or have other marked shortcomings.

C — Bonds rated C represent the lowest rated and have extremely poor prospects of attaining investment standing.

Standard & Poor`s Corporation

AAA — This is the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor`s to a debt obligation and indicates an extremely strong capacity to pay principal and interest.

AA — Bonds rated AA also qualify as high-quality debt obligations. Capacity to pay principal and interest is very strong.

A — Bonds rated A have a strong capacity to pay principal and interest, although they are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions.

BBB — Bonds rated BBB are regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay principal and interest. Whereas they normally exhibit adequate protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay principal and interest for bonds in this category than for bonds in the A category.

BB, B, CCC, CC, C — Bonds rated BB, B, CCC, CC, and C are regarded on balance as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer`s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. BB indicates the lowest degree of speculation and C the highest degree of speculation. While such bonds will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these are outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse conditions.

D — In default.

Fitch Ratings

AAA — High grade, broadly marketable, suitable for investment by trustees and fiduciary institutions, and liable to slight market fluctuation other than through changes in the money rate. The prime feature of an AAA bond is the showing of earnings several times or many times interest requirements for such stability of applicable interest that safety is beyond reasonable question whenever changes occur in conditions. Other features may enter, such as wide margin of protection through collateral, security, or direct lien on specific property. Sinking

funds or voluntary reduction of debt by call or purchase are often factors, while guarantee or assumption by parties other than the original debtor may influence the rating.

AA — Of safety virtually beyond question and readily salable. Their merits are not greatly unlike those of AAA class, but a bond so rated may be junior, though of strong lien, or the margin of safety is less strikingly broad. The issue may be the obligation of a small company, strongly secured, but influenced as to rating by the lesser financial power of the enterprise and more local type of market.

A — Bonds rated A are considered to be investment grade and of high credit quality. The obligor`s ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be strong but may be more vulnerable to adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances than bonds with higher ratings.

BBB — Bonds rated BBB are considered to be investment grade and of satisfactory credit quality. The obligor`s ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be adequate. Adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances, however, are more likely to have adverse impact on these bonds and therefore impair timely payment. The likelihood that the ratings of these bonds will fall below investment grade is higher than for bonds with higher ratings.

BB, B, CCC, CC, and C — Bonds rated BB, B, CCC, CC, and C are regarded on balance as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer`s capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation for bond issues not in default. BB indicates the lowest degree of speculation and C the highest degree of speculation. The rating takes into consideration special features of the issue, its relationship to other obligations of the issuer, and the current and prospective financial condition and operating performance of the issuer.

Ratings of Municipal Notes and Variable Rate Securities

Moody`s Investors Service, Inc. VMIG1/MIG-1 the best quality. VMIG2/MIG-2 high quality, with margins of protection ample, though not so large as in the preceding group. VMIG3/MIG-3 favorable quality, with all security elements accounted for, but lacking the undeniable strength of the preceding grades. Market access for refinancing, in particular, is likely to be less well established. SG adequate quality, but there is specific risk.

Standard & Poor`s Corporation SP-1 very strong or strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Those issues determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics will be given a plus (+) designation. SP-2 satisfactory capacity to pay interest and principal. SP-3 speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.

Item 30 . Indemnification

The Registrant maintains comprehensive Errors and Omissions and Officers and Directors insurance policies written by ICI Mutual. These policies provide coverage for T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. ("Manager"), and its subsidiaries and affiliates as listed in Item 31 of this Registration Statement and all other investment companies in the T. Rowe Price family of mutual funds. In addition to the corporate insureds, the policies also cover the officers, directors, and employees of the Manager, its subsidiaries, and affiliates. The premium is allocated among the named corporate insureds in accordance with the provisions of Rule 17d 1(d)(7) under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

General. The Charter of the Corporation provides that to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland or federal law, no director or officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or the holders of Shares for money damages and each director and officer shall be indemnified by the Corporation; provided, however, that nothing therein shall be deemed to protect any director or officer of the Corporation against any liability to the Corporation of the holders of Shares to which such director or officer would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.

Article X, Section 10.01 of the Registrant`s By-Laws provides as follows:

Section 10.01. Indemnification and Payment of Expenses in Advance : The Corporation shall indemnify any individual ("Indemnitee") who is a present or former director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or who is or has been serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, who, by reason of his position was, is, or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (hereinafter collectively referred to as a "Proceeding") against any judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses (including attorneys` fees) incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding, to the fullest extent that such indemnification may be lawful under Maryland law. The Corporation shall pay any reasonable expenses so incurred by such Indemnitee in defending a Proceeding in advance of the final disposition thereof to the fullest extent that such advance payment may be lawful under Maryland law. Subject to any applicable limitations and requirements set forth in the Corporation`s Articles of Incorporation and in these By-Laws, any payment of indemnification or advance of expenses shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Maryland law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall protect or purport to protect any Indemnitee against any liability to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office ("Disabling Conduct").

Anything in this Article X to the contrary notwithstanding, no indemnification shall be made by the Corporation to any Indemnitee unless:

(a) there is a final decision on the merits by a court or other body before whom the Proceeding was brought that the Indemnitee was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct; or

(b) in the absence of such a decision, there is a reasonable determination, based upon a review of the facts, that the Indemnitee was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct, which determination shall be made by:

(i) the vote of a majority of a quorum of directors who are neither "interested persons" of the Corporation as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act, nor parties to the Proceeding; or

PAGE 305

(ii) an independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

Anything in this Article X to the contrary notwithstanding, any advance of expenses by the Corporation to any Indemnitee shall be made only upon the undertaking by such Indemnitee to repay the advance unless it is ultimately determined that such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification as above provided, and only if one of the following conditions is met:

(a) the Indemnitee provides a security for his undertaking; or

(b) the Corporation shall be insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful advances; or

(c) there is a determination, based on a review of readily available facts, that there is reason to believe that the Indemnitee will ultimately be found entitled to indemnification, which determination shall be made by:

(i) a majority of a quorum of directors who are neither "interested persons" of the Corporation as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act, nor parties to the Proceeding; or

(ii) an independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

Section 10.02. Insurance of Officers, Directors, Employees, and Agents. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Maryland law and by Section 17(h) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as from time to time amended, the Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in or arising out of his position, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

All fees and expenses imposed on the Fund with respect to the sale of the Fund shares under securities laws of various states or jurisdictions, and, under all other laws applicable to the Fund, or its business activities (including registering the Fund as a broker-dealer, or any officer of the Fund or any person as agent or salesman of the Fund in any state);

3. Management Fee. The Fund shall pay the Manager a fee computed as follows, based on the value of the net assets of the Fund:

A. Fee Rate. The fee shall be at the annual rate of 0.65% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.

B. Method of Computation. The fee shall be accrued for each calendar day and the sum of the daily fee accruals shall be paid monthly to the Manager on the first business day of the next succeeding calendar month. The daily fee accruals will be computed by multiplying the fraction of one over the number of calendar days in the year by the applicable annual rate described in subparagraph (A) of this Paragraph 3, and multiplying this product by the net assets of the Fund as determined in accordance with the Fund`s prospectus as of the close of business on the previous business day on which the Fund was open for business.

C. Expense Limitation . As part of the consideration for the Fund entering into this Agreement, the Manager hereby agrees to limit the aggregate expenses of every character incurred by the Fund, including but not limited to Fees of the Manager computed as hereinabove set forth, but excluding interest, taxes, brokerage, and other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and extraordinary expenses, ( "Manager Limitation" ). Under the Manager Limitation, the Manager agrees that through February 28, 2013, such expenses shall not exceed 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Fund ( "0.75% Expense Limitation" ). To determine the Manager`s liability for the Fund`s expenses over the 0.75% Expense Limitation, the amount of allowable year-to-date expenses shall be computed daily by prorating the 0.75% Expense Limitation based on the number of days elapsed within the fiscal year of the Fund, or limitation period, if shorter ( "Pro-Rated Limitation" ). The Pro-Rated Limitation shall be compared to the expenses of the Fund recorded through the prior day in order to produce the allowable expenses to be recorded for the current day ( "Allowable Expenses" ). If the Fund`s Management Fee and other expenses for the current day exceed the Allowable Expenses, the Management Fee for the current day shall be reduced by such excess ( "Unaccrued Fees" ). In the event the excess exceeds the amount due as the Management Fee, the Manager shall be responsible to the Fund for the additional excess ( "Other Expenses Exceeding Limit" ). If at any time up through and including February 28, 2013, the Fund`s Management Fee and other expenses for the current day are less than the Allowable Expenses, the differential shall be due to the Manager as payment of cumulative Unaccrued Fees (if any) or as payment for cumulative Other Expenses Exceeding Limit (if any). If cumulative Unaccrued Fees or cumulative Other Expenses Exceeding Limit remain at February 28, 2013, these amounts shall be paid to the Manager in the future provided that: (1) no such payment shall be made to the Manager more than three years after the occurrence of any Unaccrued Fees or Other Expenses Exceeding Limit; and (2) such payment shall only be made to the extent that it does not result in the Fund`s aggregate expenses exceeding an expense limit of 0.75% of average daily net assets. The Manager may voluntarily agree to an additional expense limitation (any such additional expense limitation hereinafter referred to as an "Additional Expense Limitation" ), at the same or a different level and for the same or a different period of time beyond February 28, 2013 (any such additional period being hereinafter referred to an as "Additional Period" ) provided, however, that: (1) the calculations and methods of payment shall be as described above; (2) no payment for cumulative Unaccrued Fees or cumulative Other Expenses Exceeding Limit shall be made to the Manager more than three years after the occurrence of any Unaccrued Fees or Other Expenses Exceeding Limit; and (3) payment for cumulative Unaccrued Fees or cumulative Other Expenses Exceeding Limit after the expiration of the Additional Period shall only be made to the extent it does not result in the Fund`s aggregate expenses exceeding the Additional Expense Limitation to which the unpaid amounts relate.

D. Proration of Fee . If this Agreement becomes effective or terminates before the end of any month, the Fee for the period from the effective date to the end of such month or from the beginning of such month to the date of termination, as the case may be, shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination occurs.

4. Brokerage . Subject to the approval of the board of directors, the Manager, in carrying out its duties under Paragraph 1.A., may cause the Corporation, with respect to the Fund, to pay a

broker-dealer which furnishes brokerage or research services [as such services are defined under Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "`34 Act" ) a higher commission than that which might be charged by another broker-dealer which does not furnish brokerage or research services or which furnishes brokerage or research services deemed to be of lesser value, if such commission is deemed reasonable in relation to the brokerage and research services provided by the broker-dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities of the Manager with respect to the accounts as to which it exercises investment discretion (as such term is defined under Section 3(a)(35) of the `34 Act).

5. Manager`s Use of the Services of Others . The Manager may (at its cost except as contemplated by Paragraph 4 of this Agreement) employ, retain or otherwise avail itself of the services or facilities of other persons or organizations for the purpose of providing the Manager or the Corporation or Fund, as appropriate, with such statistical and other factual information, such advice regarding economic factors and trends, such advice as to occasional transactions in specific securities or such other information, advice or assistance as the Manager may deem necessary, appropriate or convenient for the discharge of its obligations hereunder or otherwise helpful to the Corporation or Fund, as appropriate, or in the discharge of Manager`s overall responsibilities with respect to the other accounts which it serves as investment manager.

6. Ownership of Records . All records required to be maintained and preserved by the Corporation or Fund pursuant to the provisions of rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 31(a) of the Act and maintained and preserved by the Manager on behalf of the Corporation or Fund, as appropriate, are the property of the Corporation or Fund, as appropriate, and will be surrendered by the Manager promptly on request by the Corporation or Fund, as appropriate.

7. Reports to Manager . The Corporation or Fund, as appropriate, shall furnish or otherwise make available to the Manager such prospectuses, financial statements, proxy statements, reports, and other information relating to the business and affairs of the Corporation or Fund, as appropriate, as the Manager may, at any time or from time to time, reasonably require in order to discharge its obligations under this Agreement.

8. Services to Other Clients . Nothing herein contained shall limit the freedom of the Manager or any affiliated person of the Manager to render investment supervisory and corporate administrative services to other investment companies, to act as investment manager or investment counselor to other persons, firms or corporations, or to engage in other business activities; but so long as this Agreement or any extension, renewal or amendment hereof shall remain in effect or until the Manager shall otherwise consent, the Manager shall be the only investment manager to the Fund.

9. Limitation of Liability of Manager . Neither the Manager nor any of its officers, directors, or employees, nor any person performing executive, administrative, trading, or other functions for the Corporation or Fund (at the direction or request of the Manager) or the Manager in connection with the Manager`s discharge of its obligations undertaken or reasonably assumed with respect to this Agreement, shall be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Corporation or Fund in connection with the matters to which this Agreement

relates, except for loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its or his duties on behalf of the Corporation or Fund or from reckless disregard by the Manager or any such person of the duties of the Manager under this Agreement.

10. Term of Agreement . The term of this Agreement shall begin on the date first above written, and unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided, this Agreement shall remain in effect through April 30, 2011. Thereafter, this Agreement shall continue in effect from year to year, with respect to the Fund, subject to the termination provisions and all other terms and conditions hereof, so long as such continuation shall be specifically approved at least annually (a) by either the board of directors of the Corporation, or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund; (b) in either event by the vote, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, of a majority of the directors of the Corporation, with respect to the Fund, who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any such party; and (c) the Manager shall not have notified the Corporation, in writing, at least 60 days prior to April 30, 2011 or prior to April 30th of any year thereafter, that it does not desire such continuation. The Manager shall furnish to the Corporation, promptly upon its request, such information as may reasonably be necessary to evaluate the terms of this Agreement or any extension, renewal, or amendment hereof.

11. Amendment and Assignment of Agreement . This Agreement may not be amended or assigned without the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, and this Agreement shall automatically and immediately terminate in the event of its assignment.

12. Termination of Agreement . This Agreement may be terminated by either party hereto, without the payment of any penalty, upon 60 days` prior notice in writing to the other party; provided, that in the case of termination by the Corporation, with respect to the Fund, such action shall have been authorized by resolution of a majority of the directors of the Corporation who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any such party, or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

13. Miscellaneous .

A. Captions . The captions in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and in no way define or delineate any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect.

B. Interpretation .

C. Definitions . Any question of interpretation of any term or provision of this Agreement having a counterpart in or otherwise derived from a term or provision of the Act shall be resolved by reference to such term or provision of the Act and to interpretations thereof, if any, by the United States courts or, in the absence of any controlling decision of any such court, by rules, regulations or orders of the Securities and Exchange Commission validly issued pursuant to the

Act. Specifically, the terms "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities," "interested person," "assignment," and "affiliated person," as used in Paragraphs 2, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 hereof, shall have the meanings assigned to them by Section 2(a) of the Act. In addition, where the effect of a requirement of the Act reflected in any provision of this Agreement is relaxed by a rule, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission, whether of special or of general application, such provision shall be deemed to incorporate the effect of such rule, regulation or order.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF , the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be signed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized and their respective seals to be hereunto affixed, as of the day and year first above written.

APPENDIX A

TRANSFER AGENCY AND SERVICE AGREEMENT

AGREEMENT made as of the first day of January, 2010, by and between T. ROWE PRICE SERVICES, INC., a Maryland corporation having its principal office and place of business at 100 East Pratt Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202 ("Price Services") , and EACH FUND WHICH IS LISTED ON APPENDIX A (as such Appendix may be amended from time to time) and which evidences its agreement to be bound hereby by executing a copy of this Agreement (each such Fund individually hereinafter referred to as "the Fund," whose definition may be found in Article V);

WHEREAS, the Fund desires to appoint Price Services as its transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent and agent in connection with certain other activities, and Price Services desires to accept such appointment;

WHEREAS, Price Services represents that it is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a Transfer Agent under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ( "`34 Act" ) and will notify each Fund promptly if such registration is revoked or if any proceeding is commenced before the Securities and Exchange Commission which may lead to such revocation;

WHEREAS, Price Services has the capability of providing shareholder services on behalf of the Funds for the accounts of shareholders in the Funds;

WHEREAS, certain of the Funds are underlying investment options of portfolios of College Savings Programs ( "529 Plans" ) and Price Services has the capability of providing services, on behalf of the Funds, for the accounts of individuals participating in these 529 Plans; and

WHEREAS, certain of the Funds are named investment options under various retirement plans including, but not limited to, individual retirement accounts, Sep IRA`s, SIMPLE plans, deferred compensation plans, 403(b) plans, and profit sharing, thrift, and money purchase pension plans for self-employed individuals, individual 401(k)s and professional partnerships and corporations (collectively referred to as "Retirement Plans" ) and Price Services has the capability of providing services, on behalf of the Funds, for the accounts of shareholders ( "Participants" ) participating in these Retirement Plans ( "Retirement Accounts" ).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

A.	Terms of Appointment

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Fund hereby employs and appoints Price Services to act, and Price Services agrees to act, as the Fund`s transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent and agent in connection with the Fund`s authorized and issued shares of its common stock or shares of beneficial interest (all such stock and shares to be referred to as "Shares" ) and provide services to shareholders of the Fund ( "Shareholders" ) and beneficial Shareholders as agreed to by the parties.

The parties to the Agreement hereby acknowledge that from time to time, Price Services and T. Rowe Price Trust Company and their affiliates may enter into contracts ( "Other Contracts" ) with employee benefit plans and/or their sponsors and the sponsors of 529 Plans for the provision of certain services to participants of 529 Plans and Retirement Plans. Compensation paid to Price Services pursuant to this Agreement is with respect to the services described herein and not with respect to services provided under Other Contracts.

In addition, Price Services may subcontract or jointly contract with other parties, including banks, on behalf of the Fund, to perform certain of the functions described herein.

B.	Duties of Price Services

1. Services . Price Services agrees that it will perform services set forth on Schedule 1 of this Agreement, on behalf of the Fund, in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, the Fund`s then current prospectus and policies and procedures adopted by Price Services. Price Services will implement and maintain systems necessary to perform such services.

2. Agreements with Intermediaries . The Fund authorizes Price Services to enter into agreements with certain third party intermediaries, which include but are not limited to banks, broker-dealers, insurance companies and retirement plan recordkeepers ( "Intermediary" ), for the following purposes:

Orders. To receive orders for Fund shares from Shareholders (including Plan Participants) and transmit such orders to Price Services in accordance with procedures established by agreement between Price Services and the Intermediary. Receipt of orders by the Intermediary by the close of business on a day the New York Stock Exchange is open shall be deemed receipt of the order by the Fund for that day`s net asset value to the extent permitted by Rule 22c-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 ( "`40 Act" ) and the agreement between Price Services and the Intermediary.

To comply with Rule 22c-2 of the `40 Act. Price Services shall enter into agreements, on behalf of the Fund, with Intermediaries who hold shares in

omnibus accounts for purposes of compliance with Rule 22c-2 of the `40 Act (" Shareholder Information Agreements "). Price Services will monitor the omnibus accounts for unusual trading activity in accordance with the Fund`s excessive trading procedures and when unusual activity is suspected, pursuant to the Shareholder Information Agreement, Price Services shall request from the Intermediary underlying Shareholder personal and transaction data. Once received, Price Services will review the data to determine if the Fund`s excessive trading policy has been violated. Pursuant to the terms of the Shareholder Information Agreement, if Price Services determines that the Fund`s policy has been violated, Price Services shall instruct the Intermediary to restrict or prohibit future purchases of Fund shares by Shareholders (or warn Shareholders when appropriate) identified by Price Services as having violated the policy.

Redemption Fees . To require the Intermediary to collect and remit redemption fees for applicable Funds. Price Services may enter into Redemption Fee Agreements with Intermediaries holding omnibus accounts in Funds that assess redemption fees, whereby the Intermediary agrees to assess the fees in underlying Shareholder Accounts in accordance with the Fund`s then-current prospectus at the time of the transaction subject to the fee and remit such fees to the Fund on a monthly basis or such other mutually agreed upon time. Price Services may enforce the terms of the Shareholder Information Agreements to determine whether the Intermediary has acted in accordance with the Redemption Fee Agreement.

Administrative Fee Payments . To pay Administrative Fee Payments to Intermediaries or Plans performing administrative (transfer agent) services on behalf of the Fund. The Funds have instituted a program whereby they may, in their discretion, pay an Intermediary or a Plan a fee to compensate the third party for certain expenses incurred as a result of providing administrative services to underlying Shareholders of the Funds ( "Administrative Fee Payments" ). Each Fund authorizes Price Services to enter into, on its behalf, agreements with such Intermediaries or Plans for payment of such Administrative Fee Payments in consideration of such Plan or Intermediary`s performance of services pursuant to the Fund`s Administrative Fee Payment Program. Any payments owed under these Administrative Fee Agreements shall be the obligation of the applicable Fund, not Price Services.

3. Anti-Money Laundering Program . The Funds authorize Price Services to perform, on behalf of the Funds, Anti-Money Laundering ("AML") services in accordance with the Anti-Money Laundering Program adopted by the Funds, including the Fund`s Customer Identification Program. Price Services shall, maintain policies and procedures, and related internal controls, which are consistent with such AML Program. Price Services will also comply with economic sanction programs administered by the U.S. Treasury Department`s Office of Foreign Asset Control (" OFAC "), including checking Shareholder names against the OFAC list of sanctioned persons.

Price Services is authorized to take, on behalf of the Funds, any action permitted by law and in accordance with the Fund`s AML Program in carrying out its

responsibilities under the Fund`s AML Program, including rejecting purchases, freezing Shareholder accounts, restricting certain services, or closing Shareholder accounts if (a) suspicious activity is detected, (b) it is unable to verify the identity of a Shareholder, or (c) a Shareholder matches a government list of known or suspected suspicious persons.

C.	Fees and Expenses .

For the services performed on Schedule 1 of this Agreement, the Funds shall pay such fees and expenses as mutually agreed upon by the parties.

D.	Representations and Warranties of Price Services

F.	Standard of Care/Indemnification

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

1. Price Services shall not be liable to any Fund for any act or failure to act by it or its agents or subcontractors on behalf of the Fund in carrying or attempting to carry out the terms and provisions of this Agreement provided Price Services has acted in good faith and without negligence or willful misconduct and selected and monitored the performance of its agents and subcontractors with reasonable care.

2. The Fund shall indemnify and hold Price Services harmless from and against all losses, costs, damages, claims, actions and expenses, including reasonable expenses for legal counsel, incurred by Price Services resulting from: (i) any action or omission by Price Services or its agents or subcontractors in the performance of their duties hereunder; (ii) Price Services acting upon instructions believed by it to have been executed by a duly authorized officer of the Fund; or (iii) Price Services acting upon information provided by the Fund in form and under policies agreed to by Price Services and the Fund. Price Services shall not be entitled to such indemnification in respect of actions or omissions constituting negligence or willful misconduct of Price Services or where Price Services has not exercised reasonable care in selecting or monitoring the performance of its agents or subcontractors.

3. Except as provided in Article M of this Agreement, Price Services shall indemnify and hold harmless the Fund from all losses, costs, damages, claims, actions and expenses, including reasonable expenses for legal counsel, incurred by the Fund resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Price Services or which result from Price Services` failure to exercise reasonable care in selecting or monitoring the performance of its agents or subcontractors. The Fund shall not be entitled to such indemnification in respect of actions or omissions constituting negligence or willful misconduct of such Fund or its agents or subcontractors; unless such negligence or misconduct is attributable to Price Services.

4. In determining Price Services` liability, an isolated error or omission will normally not be deemed to constitute negligence when it is determined that:

Price Services had in place "appropriate procedures;"

the employee(s) responsible for the error or omission had been reasonably trained and were being appropriately monitored; and

No evidence or circumstances have been produced to indicate that the individual who committed the error or omission was functioning in bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct at the time of the incident.

It is understood that Price Services is not obligated to have in place separate procedures to prevent each and every conceivable type of error or omission. The term "Appropriate Procedures" shall mean procedures reasonably designed to prevent and detect errors and omissions. In determining the reasonableness of such procedures, weight will be given to such factors as are appropriate, including the prior occurrence of any similar errors or omissions when such procedures were in place and transfer agent industry standards, if known, in place at the time of the occurrence.

5. In the event either party is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement because of acts of God, strikes or other causes reasonably beyond its control, such party shall not be liable to the other party for any loss, cost, damage, claim, action or expense resulting from such failure to perform or otherwise from such causes.

6. In order that the indemnification provisions contained in this Article F shall apply, upon the assertion of a claim for which either party may be required to indemnify the other, the party seeking indemnification shall promptly notify the other party of such assertion, and shall keep the other party advised with respect to all developments concerning such claim. The party who may be required to indemnify shall have the option to participate with the party seeking indemnification in the defense of such claim, or to defend against said claim in its own name or in the name of the other party. The party

seeking indemnification shall in no case confess any claim or make any compromise in any case in which the other party may be required to indemnify it except with the other party`s prior written consent.

7. Neither party to this Agreement shall be liable to the other party for consequential damages under any provision of this Agreement.

G.	Dual Interests

It is understood that some person or persons may be directors, officers, or shareholders of both the Funds and Price Services (including Price Services` affiliates), and that the existence of any such dual interest shall not affect the validity of this Agreement or of any transactions hereunder except as otherwise provided by a specific provision of applicable law.

I.	Recordkeeping/Confidentiality

1. Price Services shall keep records relating to the services to be performed hereunder, in the form and manner as it may deem advisable, provided that RPS shall keep all records in such form and in such manner as required by applicable law.

2. Price Services and the Fund agree that all books, records, information and data pertaining to the business of the other party which are exchanged or received pursuant to the negotiation or the carrying out of this Agreement shall remain confidential, and shall not be voluntarily disclosed to any other person, except: (a) after prior notification to and approval in writing by the other party hereto, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and may not be withheld where Price Services or the Fund may be exposed to civil or criminal contempt proceedings for failure to comply; (b) when requested to divulge such information by duly constituted governmental authorities; or (c) after so requested by the other party hereto.

J.	Compliance with Governmental Rules and Regulations

Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and except for the accuracy of information furnished to the Fund by Price Services, each Fund assumes full responsibility for the preparation, contents and distribution of its prospectuses and compliance with all applicable requirements of the `40 Act, the xd4 34 Act, the xd4 33 Act, and any other laws, rules and regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Fund. Price Services shall be responsible for complying with all laws, rules and regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over transfer agents and their activities and cooperating with respect to examinations and requests from such governmental authorities.

K.	Ownership of Software and Related Material

All computer programs, magnetic tapes, written procedures and similar items purchased and/or developed and used by Price Services in performance of the Agreement shall be the property of Price Services and will not become the property of the Fund.

L.	Quality Service Standards

Price Services and the Fund may from time to time agree to certain quality service standards, as well as incentives and penalties with respect to Price Services` hereunder.

M.	As Of Transactions

For purposes of this Article M, the term "As Of Transaction" shall mean any single or "related transaction" (as defined below) involving the purchase or redemption of Shares (including exchanges) that is processed at a time other than the time of the computation of the Fund`s net asset value per share next computed after receipt of any such transaction order by Price Services due to an act or omission of Price Services. "As Of Processing" refers to the processing of these As Of Transactions. All As Of Processing may only be performed in accordance with the requirements of Rule 22c-1 of the `40 Act. Price Services is responsible for monitoring As Of Transactions procedures that set forth the circumstances under which As Of Transactions are permitted. If more than one As Of Transaction ( "Related Transaction" ) in the Fund is caused by or occurs as a result of the same act or omission, such transactions shall be aggregated with other transactions in the Fund and be considered as one As Of Transaction.

Reporting

Price Services shall:

1. Utilize a system to identify all As Of Transactions, and shall compute the net effect of such As Of Transactions upon the Fund on a daily, monthly and rolling 365 day basis. The monthly and rolling 365 day periods are hereafter referred to as "Cumulative."

2. Supply to the Fund, from time to time as mutually agreed upon, a report summarizing the As Of Transactions and the daily and Cumulative net effects of such As Of Transactions both in terms of aggregate dilution and loss ( "Loss" ) or

gain and negative dilution ( "Gain" ) experienced by the Fund, and the impact such Gain or Loss has had upon the Fund`s net asset value per Share.

3. With respect to any As Of Transaction which causes Loss to the Fund of $100,000 or more (unless Price Services fully compensates the Fund for such Loss), promptly provide the Fund: (i) a report identifying the As Of Transaction and the Loss resulting there from, (ii) the reason such As Of Transaction was processed as described above, and (iii) the action that Price Services has or intends to take to prevent the reoccurrence of such As Of processing.

Liability

1. It will be the normal practice of the Funds not to hold Price Services liable with respect to any As Of Transaction that causes a Loss to any single Fund of less than $25,000. Price Services will, however, closely monitor for each Fund the daily and Cumulative Gain/Loss that is caused by As Of Transactions of less than $25,000. When the Cumulative Loss to any Fund exceeds 3/10 of 1% net asset value per share, Price Services, in consultation with counsel to the Fund, will make appropriate inquiry to determine whether it should take any remedial action. Price Services will report to the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Fund ( "Board" ) any action it has taken.

2. Where a Transaction causes a Loss to a Fund equal to or greater than $25,000 ( "Significant As Of Transaction" ), but less than $100,000, if Price Services does not reimburse the Fund for the Loss, it will review with Counsel to the Fund the circumstances surrounding the underlying As Of Transaction to determine whether

the As Of Transaction was caused by or occurred as a result of a negligent act or omission by Price Services. If it is determined that the Loss is the result of a negligent action or omission by Price Services, Price Services and outside counsel for the Fund will negotiate settlement. Significant As Of Transactions equal to or greater than $25,000 will be reported to the Audit Committee at least annually (unless Price Services compensates the Fund for the Loss). Any Significant As Of Transaction, however, causing a Loss in excess of the lesser of $100,000 or a penny per share that is not reimbursed by Price Services will be promptly reported to the Board. Settlement for Significant As Of Transactions causing a Loss of $100,000 or more will not be entered into until approved by the Board . For Related As Of Transactions for Funds with more than one class, the amount of Gain or Loss resulting from an As Of Transaction shall be determined for each class; provided, however, that for purposes of determining Services` liability for reimbursement of a Loss to any class, Gains in one class may be used to offset Loss in another class of the same Fund. Any net Gains remaining after offsetting a loss in one or more classes, as well as aggregate Gains from a Significant As Of Transaction causing a Gain of a penny or more per share in a class, will be allocated ratably to all of the classes in the affected Fund.

The factors to consider in making any determination regarding the settlement of a Significant As Of Transaction would include but not be limited to:

Procedures and controls adopted by Price Services to prevent As Of Processing;

Whether such procedures and controls were being followed at the time of the Significant As Of Transaction;

The absolute and relative volume of all transactions processed by Price Services on the day of the Significant As Of Transaction;

The number of Transactions processed by Price Services during prior relevant periods, and the net Gain/Loss as a result of all such As Of Transactions to the Fund and to all other Price Funds;

The prior response of Price Services to recommendations made by the Funds regarding improvement to Price Services` As Of Processing procedures.

3. In determining Price Services` liability with respect to a Significant As Of Transaction, Section 4 of Article F of this Agreement will be applied.

As Of Transactions - Intermediaries

If an As Of Transaction is performed by an Intermediary, which is designated by the Fund to received orders for Fund Shares, Price Services shall cause such Intermediary to promptly reimburse the Fund for any Loss caused by such As Of Transaction; provided, however, Price Services shall not be obligated to seek reimbursement from such Intermediary if the Loss to the Fund is less than $100.

N.	Term and Termination of Agreement

This Agreement shall run for a period of one (1) year from the date first written above and will be renewed from year to year thereafter unless terminated by either party as provided hereunder.

This Agreement may be terminated by the Fund upon one hundred twenty (120) days` written notice to Price Services; and by Price Services, upon three hundred sixty-five (365) days` written notice to the Fund.

Upon termination hereof, the Fund shall pay to Price Services such compensation as may be due as of the date of such termination, and shall likewise reimburse for out of pocket expenses related to its services hereunder.

O.	Notice
