AIM Investments(R) Announces Name Changes of 2 Funds

  
    
  
  
    
      AIM Investments announced today that the Boards of Trustees of the 
      applicable funds have approved the following name changes, effective 
      Feb. 28, 2007:
    
    
      
        AIM International Bond Fund to AIM International Total Return Fund
      
      
        AIM Enhanced Short Bond Fund to AIM LIBOR Alpha Fund
      
    
    
      Both name changes better reflect the funds’ 
      investment focus of outperforming their benchmarks – 
      the Lehman Brothers Global Aggregate ex-U.S. Index (unhedged) for the 
      AIM International Bond Fund and the three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR for 
      the AIM Enhanced Short Bond Fund – through an 
      analysis of a variety of alpha sources (specific factors affecting the 
      return on investments relative to the benchmark), including, among 
      others, high-yield and emerging-market risk, country risk and currency 
      risk.
    
    
      Important Information about Investing in AIM International Bond Fund 
      and AIM Enhanced Short Bond Fund
    
    
      Foreign securities have additional risks, including exchange rate 
      changes, political and economic developments, the relative lack of 
      information about these companies and the potential lack of strict 
      financial and accounting controls and standards.
    
    
      The funds may use enhanced investment techniques such as leverage and 
      derivatives. Leveraging entails special risks such as magnifying changes 
      in the value of the portfolio’s securities. 
      Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk – 
      the risk that the other party will not complete the transaction with the 
      fund.
    
    
      The prices of securities in the funds may decline in response to market 
      risks, changes in interest rates, effective maturities and credit 
      ratings of those securities.
    
    
      The funds may invest in asset-backed or mortgage-backed securities which 
      may lose value if they are called or prepaid.
    
    
      Investing in higher-yielding, lower-rated corporate bonds (commonly 
      known as “junk bonds”) 
      has a greater risk of price fluctuation and loss of principal and income 
      than government securities, such as Treasury bills, notes and bonds. 
      Treasuries are guaranteed by the government for repayment of principal 
      and interest if held to maturity. Fund shares are not insured, and their 
      value and yield will vary with market conditions. Investors should 
      carefully assess the risk associated with investing in these funds.
    
    
      The funds may buy or sell currencies other than the U.S. dollar and use 
      derivatives involving foreign currencies in order to capitalize on 
      anticipated changes in exchange rates.
