JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
, 2013
Introduction
This Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus contains information that shareholders of Invesco Leisure
Fund (the Leisure Fund), a series of AIM Sector Funds (Invesco Sector Funds) (AIM Sector
Funds), and Invesco Constellation Fund (the Constellation Fund), a series of AIM Equity Funds
(Invesco Equity Funds) (AIM Equity Funds), should know before voting on the proposed
reorganizations that are described herein, and should be retained for future reference. The Leisure
Fund and the Constellation Fund are each referred to herein as a Target Fund and, together, as
the Target Funds. This document is both the proxy statement of the Target Funds and also a
prospectus for Invesco American Franchise Fund (the Acquiring Fund), which is a series of AIM
Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (AIM Counselor Series Trust). Each
Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund are a series of a registered open-end management investment
company. The Target Funds and the Acquiring Fund collectively are referred to as the Funds and
individually as a Fund. In addition, AIM Sector Funds, AIM Equity Funds and AIM
Counselor Series Trust are each referred to herein as a Trust and, together, as the Trusts.
A joint special meeting of the shareholders of the Target Funds (the Meeting) will be held at 11
Greenway Plaza, Suite 1000, Houston, Texas 77046 on April 24, 2013 at 3:00 p.m., Central time. At
the Meeting, shareholders of each Target Fund will be asked to consider the following proposal:
To approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization between each Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund,
providing for: (a) the acquisition of all of the assets and assumption of all of the liabilities of
each Target Fund by the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of a corresponding class of the
Acquiring Fund; (b) the distribution of such shares of the corresponding class to the shareholders
of the Target Fund; and (c) the liquidation and termination of the Target Fund (each, a
Reorganization and collectively, the Reorganizations).
The total value of the Acquiring Fund shares of each class that shareholders will receive in a
Reorganization will be the same as the total value of the shares of each corresponding class of the
Target Fund that shareholders held immediately prior to the Reorganization. Each Reorganization is
anticipated to be a tax-free transaction, meaning that shareholders should not be required to pay
any federal income tax in connection with the Reorganization. No sales charges will be imposed in
connection with the Reorganizations.
The Board of Trustees of each Trust (the Board) has fixed the close of business on January 24,
2013 as the record date (Record Date) for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of
and to vote at the Meeting and at any adjournment thereof. Shareholders of each Target Fund on the
Record Date will be entitled to one vote for each share of the Target Fund held (and a
proportionate fractional vote for each fractional share). This Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus,
the enclosed Notice of Joint Special Meeting of Shareholders and the enclosed proxy card will be
mailed on or about February 20, 2013 to all shareholders eligible to vote on a Reorganization.
The Board has approved the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and has determined that the
Reorganization is in the best interests of each Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund and will not
dilute the interests of the existing shareholders of a Target Fund or the Acquiring Fund. If
shareholders of a Target Fund do not approve the Reorganization, the Board will consider what
further action is appropriate for that Target Fund. Neither Reorganization is contingent
upon shareholder approval of the other Reorganization.
This Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is being used in order to reduce the preparation, printing,
handling and postage expenses that would result from the use of a separate proxy
statement/prospectus for each Target Fund.
Additional information about the Funds is available in the:
|
|
Prospectuses for the Target Funds and the Acquiring Fund;

|

Annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders of the Target Funds and the Acquiring Fund; and

PROPOSAL: TO APPROVE AN AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
Shareholders of each Target Fund are being asked to consider and approve an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the Agreement) that will have the effect of reorganizing each Target Fund with
and into the Acquiring Fund, as summarized below. The Agreement provides for (a) the acquisition of
all of the assets and assumption of all of the liabilities of each Target Fund by the Acquiring
Fund in exchange for shares of a corresponding class of the Acquiring Fund; (b) the distribution of
such shares of the corresponding class to the shareholders of the Target Fund; and (c) the
liquidation and termination of the Target Fund.
SUMMARY OF KEY INFORMATION
The following is a summary of certain information contained elsewhere in this Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus, in the Agreement, and/or in the prospectuses and SAIs of the Funds.
Shareholders should read the entire Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the prospectus of the
Acquiring Fund carefully for more complete information.
On what am I being asked to vote?
As a shareholder of a Target Fund, you are being asked to consider and vote to approve the
Agreement under which the assets and liabilities of the Target Fund will be transferred to the
Acquiring Fund.
If shareholders of a Target Fund approve the Agreement, shares of each class of the Target Fund
will be exchanged for Acquiring Fund shares of the corresponding class of equal value, which will
result in your holding shares of the Acquiring Fund equal to the value of your shares of the
corresponding class of the Target Fund, and the Target Fund will be liquidated and terminated.
Has my Funds Board of Trustees approved the Reorganizations?
Yes. The Board has carefully reviewed the proposal and unanimously approved the Agreement and the
Reorganizations.
The Board recommends that shareholders of each Target Fund vote FOR the
Agreement.
What are the reasons for the proposed Reorganizations?
Invesco Ltd. (Invesco), the indirect parent company of Invesco Advisers, Inc., the Funds
investment adviser (Invesco Advisers or Adviser), is continually reviewing its product line to
sharpen its offerings to investors. The Reorganizations proposed in this Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus are a result of this review and are part of a larger group of reorganizations
across Invescos mutual fund platform. The reorganizations are designed to put forth Invescos most
compelling investment processes and strategies, reduce product overlap and create scale in the
resulting funds.
In considering the Reorganizations and the Agreement, the Board considered these and other factors
in concluding that the Reorganizations would be in the best interests of the Funds. The Boards
considerations are described in more detail in the THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATIONS Board
Considerations in Approving the Reorganizations section below.
What effect will a Reorganization have on me as a shareholder?
Immediately after a Reorganization, you will hold shares of a class of the Acquiring Fund that are
equal in value to the shares of the corresponding class of the Target Fund that you held
immediately prior to the closing of the Reorganization. The principal differences between the
Target Funds and the Acquiring Fund are described in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The
prospectus of the Acquiring Fund that accompanies this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus contains
additional information about the Acquiring Fund that you will hold shares of following the
Reorganizations, if approved.
How do the Funds investment objectives, principal investment strategies and risks compare?
The Acquiring Fund and the Target Funds have similar investment objectives, as described below.
Each Funds investment objective is classified as non-fundamental, which means that it can be
changed by the Board without shareholder approval, although there is no present intention to do so.
Investment Objectives
|
|
|
|
|
Target Funds
|
|
Acquiring Fund
|

|
Constellation Fund
|
|
|
|
|
Long-term growth of capital.
|
|
|
|
|
The principal investment strategies of the Acquiring Fund are similar to the principal
investment strategies of the Target Funds, although the Acquiring Fund has a policy to
invest, under normal conditions, at least 80% of its net
1
assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of U.S. issuers at the time of
investment, while the Constellation Fund does not have an 80% policy and the Leisure Fund has a
policy to invest, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any
borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of issuers engaged in the design, production and
distribution of products and services related to leisure activities of individuals (leisure
sector). In addition, the Leisure Fund has adopted a fundamental investment restriction to
concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers engaged primarily in leisure-related
industries. The Acquiring Fund does not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers
primarily engaged in the same industry. As a result, the risks of owning shares of the Acquiring
Fund are similar to the risks of owning shares of the Target Funds, although the risks of the Funds
are not exactly the same. The sections below entitled ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS
Comparison of Principal Investment Strategies and Comparison of the Principal Risks of Investing
in the Funds compare the principal investment strategies and risks of each Target Fund and the
Acquiring Fund and highlight certain key differences.
How do the Funds expenses compare?
The tables below provide a summary comparison of the expenses of each Target Fund and the Acquiring
Fund, as well as estimated expenses on a
pro forma
basis giving effect to the proposed
Reorganizations. The
pro forma
expense ratios show projected estimated expenses but actual expenses
may be greater or less than those shown. Neither Reorganization is contingent upon shareholder
approval of the other Reorganization.

Expense ratios reflect annual fund operating expenses for the fiscal year (disclosed in the Funds
current prospectuses) of the Leisure Fund (April 30, 2012), the Constellation Fund (October 31,
2012) and the Acquiring Fund (August 31, 2012).
Pro forma
numbers are estimated as if the
Reorganizations had been completed as of September 1, 2011 and do not include the estimated costs
of the Reorganizations. The estimated Reorganization costs that the Leisure Fund will bear are
$170,000 and the Constellation Fund are $1,570,000. Invesco Advisers estimates that shareholders
will recoup these costs through reduced direct expenses in 4 months or less for the Leisure Fund
and 7 months or less for the Constellation Fund. The total costs of the Reorganizations to be
paid by the Acquiring Fund is estimated to be $30,000 for each Reorganization. Invesco Advisers
will bear the Reorganization costs of the Acquiring Fund. For more information on the costs of the
Reorganizations to be borne by the Funds, see THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATIONS Costs of the
Reorganizations below.

|

|
|
If the Reorganization with the Constellation Fund is the only Reorganization to close, the
Combined Pro Forma Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses would increase for each share class by one
basis point as compared to the amount shown in the table.
|
|
(1)
|
|
Investor Class shareholders of the Leisure Fund will be issued Class A shares of the
Acquiring Fund as part of its Reorganization. Investor Class shareholders who receive Class A
shares of the Acquiring Fund will be eligible to purchase additional Class A shares without paying
an initial sales charge so long as the shares are held in the same account at the same
financial intermediary as at the time of Closing.

Expense Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in different classes of a
Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
Pro forma
combined costs of investing in different classes of the Acquiring Fund after giving effect to the
Reorganization of the corresponding Target Fund into the Acquiring Fund are also provided. All
costs are based upon the information set forth in the Fee Tables above.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 for the time periods indicated and shows the expenses
that you would pay if you redeem all of your shares at the end of those time periods. The Example
also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the operating expenses remain
the same. Although your actual returns and costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions
your costs would be:

The Example is not a representation of past or future expenses. Each Funds actual expenses,
and an investors direct and indirect expenses, may be more or less than those shown. The table and
the assumption in the Example of a 5% annual return are required by regulations of the SEC
applicable to all mutual funds. The 5% annual return is not a prediction of and does not represent
the Funds projected or actual performance.
For further discussion regarding the Boards consideration of the fees and expenses of the Funds in
approving the Reorganizations, see the section entitled THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATIONS Board
Considerations in Approving the Reorganizations in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
Portfolio Turnover
Each 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 examples, affect each Funds performance.
During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2012, the Acquiring Funds portfolio turnover rate was 96%
of the average value of the portfolio. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012, the
Constellation Funds portfolio turnover rate was 95% of the average value of the portfolio. During
the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, the Leisure Funds portfolio turnover rate was 78% of the
average value of the portfolio.

How do the performance records of the Funds compare?
The performance history of each Fund for certain periods as of November 30, 2012 is shown below.
The returns below may not be indicative of a Funds future performance. The table below
compares the performance history of the Acquiring Funds oldest share class, Class A, to the
performance history of the comparable class of each Target Fund. Since inception performance is
only provided for share classes with less than 10 years of performance history. Other classes of
shares that are not presented would have had substantially similar annual returns because the
shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities and the annual returns will differ only to
the extent that the classes do not have the same expenses. The prospectuses for the Funds contain
additional performance information under the headings Performance Information and Financial
Highlights. Additional performance information and a discussion of performance are also included
in each Funds most recent annual report to shareholders.

The returns shown for periods prior to June 1, 2010 are those of the Class A shares of a predecessor fund
that was advised by Van Kampen Asset Management and was reorganized into the Acquiring Fund on June 1, 2010. The returns
shown for periods after June 1, 2010 are those of the Acquiring Fund. The returns of the Acquiring Fund are different from
the predecessor fund as they had different expenses and sales charges.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal
income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns
depend on an investors tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns shown
are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as
401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.
How do the management, investment adviser and other service providers of the Funds compare?
Each Fund is overseen by the same Board members and officers. In addition, Invesco Advisers, a
registered investment adviser, serves as primary investment adviser for each Fund pursuant to an
investment advisory agreement that contains identical terms (except for fees) for each Fund. The
Acquiring Fund has a higher management fee at certain asset levels than the contractual advisory
fees of each of the Target Funds. Invesco Advisers is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E.,
Atlanta, Georgia 30309. Invesco Advisers has acted as an investment adviser since its organization
in 1976. As of November 30, 2012, Invesco Advisers had $370 billion under management. Invesco
Advisers is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Invesco.
The advisory agreement applicable to the Funds provides that Invesco Advisers may delegate any and
all of its rights, duties and obligations to one or more wholly owned affiliates of Invesco as
sub-advisers (the Invesco Sub-Advisers). Pursuant to Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contracts,
the Invesco Sub-Advisers may be appointed by Invesco Advisers from time to time to provide
discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to
a Fund. The Invesco Sub-Advisers, each of which is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Invesco
and a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, are:

Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH;
|

Other key service providers to the Target Funds, including the administrator, transfer agent,
custodian, distributor and auditor, provide the same or substantially similar services to the
Acquiring Fund. The Acquiring Funds prospectus and SAI describe the services and other
arrangements with these service providers.
How do the Funds purchase and redemption procedures and exchange policies compare?
The purchase and redemption procedures and exchange policies for each class of the Target Funds are
the same as those of the corresponding class of the Acquiring Fund.
How do the Funds sales charges and distribution arrangements compare?
Except for Investor Class shares of the Leisure Fund, the sales charges and sales charge exemptions
for each class of the Target Funds are the same as those of the corresponding class of the
Acquiring Fund. Shareholders who own Investor Class shares of the Leisure Fund will receive Class A
shares of the Acquiring Fund upon consummation of its Reorganization. Class A shares are sold with
either a front end sales charge or, for purchases of $1 million or more, a contingent deferred
sales charge if redeemed prior to 18 months after the date of purchase, unless the investor
qualifies for an available exemption. Investor Class shares are sold without a front end sales
charge or contingent deferred sales charge. Class A shares received by Investor Class shareholders
of the Leisure Fund in a Reorganization will not be subject to a front end sales charge or
contingent deferred sales charge. For more information on the sales charges and distribution and
shareholder servicing arrangements of the Funds, see the section entitled ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ABOUT THE FUNDS Comparison of Share Classes and Distribution Arrangements.
Will the Acquiring Fund have different portfolio managers than a corresponding Target Fund?
The portfolio management teams of the Leisure Fund and the Acquiring Fund will be different. The
portfolio management team of the Constellation Fund is the same as the portfolio management team
for the Acquiring Fund. The Acquiring Fund prospectus that accompanies this Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus provides biographical information about the key individuals that comprise the
portfolio management team for the Acquiring Fund.
Will there be any tax consequences resulting from the proposal?
Each Reorganization is designed to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax
purposes and the Target Funds anticipate receiving a legal opinion to that effect although there
can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will adopt a similar position. This
means that the shareholders of each Target Fund will recognize no gain or loss for federal income
tax purposes upon the exchange of all of their shares in such Target Fund for shares in
the Acquiring Fund. Shareholders should consult their tax adviser about state and local tax
consequences of the Reorganizations, if any, because the information about tax consequences in this
Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus relates only to the federal income tax consequences of the
Reorganizations.
A large portion of the Leisure Funds portfolio assets will be sold in connection with its
Reorganization as distinct from normal portfolio turnover. Such repositioning of the Leisure Funds
portfolio assets may occur before or after the Closing of its Reorganization. This may result in
the realization of capital gains, reduced by any available capital loss carryovers, that would be
distributed to shareholders. A further discussion of the potential tax impact of such sales of
portfolio assets is included under The Proposed Reorganizations Federal Income Tax
Considerations in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
When are the Reorganizations expected to occur?
If shareholders of a Target Fund approve a Reorganization, it is anticipated that such
Reorganization will occur on or around July 15, 2013.
How do I vote on a Reorganization?
There are several ways you can vote your shares, including in person at the Meeting, by mail, by
telephone or via the Internet. The proxy card that accompanies this Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus provides detailed instructions on how you may vote your shares. If you
properly fill in and sign your proxy card and send it to us in time to vote at the Meeting, your
proxy (the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares as you have directed. If
you sign your proxy card but do not make specific choices, your proxy will vote your shares
FOR
the
proposal, as recommended by the Board, and in their best judgment on other matters.
7
What will happen if shareholders of a Target Fund do not approve a Reorganization?
If the shareholders of a Target Fund do not approve a Reorganization, the Target Funds Board will
consider other possible courses of action for such Target Fund. The consummation of one
Reorganization is not conditioned upon the consummation of the other Reorganization.
What if I do not wish to participate in a Reorganization?
If you do not wish to have your shares of your Target Fund exchanged for shares of the Acquiring
Fund as part of a Reorganization that is approved by shareholders, you may redeem your shares prior
to the consummation of the Reorganization. If you redeem your shares, you will incur any applicable
deferred sales charge and if you hold shares in a taxable account, you will recognize a taxable
gain or loss based on the difference between your tax basis in the shares and the amount you
receive for them.
Why are you sending me the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus?
You are receiving this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus because you own shares in one or more
Target Funds as of the Record Date and have the right to vote on the very important proposal
described herein concerning your Target Fund. This Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus contains
information that shareholders of the Target Funds should know before voting on the proposed
Reorganizations. This document is both a proxy statement of the Target Funds and a prospectus for
the Acquiring Fund.
Where can I find more information about the Funds and the Reorganizations?
Additional information about the Funds can be found in their respective prospectuses and SAIs. The
remainder of this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus contains additional information about the
Reorganizations. You are encouraged to read the entire document. If you need any assistance, or
have any questions regarding the Reorganizations or how to vote, please call Invesco Client
Services at (800) 959-4246.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS
Comparison of Principal Investment Strategies
The following section compares the principal investment strategies of each Target Fund with the
principal investment strategies of the Acquiring Fund and highlights any key differences. In
addition to the principal investment strategies described below, each Fund is also subject to
certain additional investment policies and limitations, which are described in each Funds
prospectus and SAI. The cover page of this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus describes how you can
obtain copies of these documents. A comparison of the principal risks associated with the Funds
investment strategies is described below under Comparison of Principal Risks of Investing in the
Funds.
Leisure Fund
Each Fund invests primarily in equity securities; however, the Leisure Fund has adopted a
fundamental investment restriction to concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers
engaged primarily in leisure-related industries. The Acquiring Fund does not concentrate its
investments in the securities of issuers primarily engaged in the same industry.
The Acquiring Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets (plus
any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of U.S. issuers at the time of investment.
The Acquiring Fund deems an issuer to be a U.S. issuer if (i) its principal securities trading
market (i.e., a U.S. stock exchange, NASDAQ or over-the-counter markets) is in the U.S.; (ii) alone
or on a consolidated basis it derives 50% or more of its annual revenue from either goods produced,
sales made or services performed in the U.S.; or (iii) it is organized under the laws of, or has a
principal office in the U.S. At the Acquiring Funds last fiscal year end, the Fund had over 80%
of its assets invested in the following market sectors: information technology, consumer
discretionary, health care, industrials and energy.
The Leisure Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any
borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of issuers engaged in the design, production and
distribution of products and services related to leisure activities of individuals (leisure
sector). The Leisure Fund considers an issuer to be doing business in the leisure sector if it
meets at least one of the following tests: (1) at least 50% of its gross income or its net sales
come from products or services related to leisure activities of individuals; (2) at least 50% of
its total assets are devoted to producing revenues through products or services related to leisure
activities of individuals; or (3) based on other available information, the portfolio managers
determine that its primary business is in products or services related to leisure activities of
individuals. Issuers in the leisure sector generally include companies
8
operating in the following industries: hotel, gaming, publishing, advertising, beverage,
audio/video, broadcasting-radio/television, cable and satellite, motion picture, recreation
services and entertainment, retail and toy.
In complying with its 80% investment requirement, the Leisure Fund may include synthetic securities
that have economic characteristics similar to the Leisure Funds direct investments that are
counted toward the 80% investment requirement.
The Acquiring Fund focuses on large capitalization companies but may also invest in
mid-capitalization companies, while the Leisure Fund may invest in issuers of all market
capitalizations.
Each Fund may invest a limited amount of its assets in foreign securities, although in different
amounts. The Acquiring Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in foreign securities, and the
Leisure Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign securities.
In addition, the Leisure Fund may invest in initial public offerings (IPOs) of securities. The
Acquiring Fund does not include investments in IPOs as part of its principal investment strategies.
The Acquiring Fund utilizes a bottom-up stock selection process that emphasizes fundamental
research, and to a lesser extent, includes quantitative analysis. The Leisure Fund uses a more
top-down investment approach that takes into consideration macroeconomic and industry trends. Both
Funds use quantitative screens to identify attractive security candidates, which are further
refined by fundamental analysis.
The Acquiring Fund considers selling a particular security when a company hits Invesco Advisers
price target, a companys fundamentals deteriorate, or the catalysts for growth are no longer
present or reflected in the stock price. The Leisure Fund considers selling a security when a more
attractive investment opportunity is identified, the valuation reaches the portfolio managers
target price, a change in fundamentals occur, or a securitys technical profile indicates negative
underlying information which is further determined to have violated a fundamental investment
thesis.
The Leisure Fund and the Acquiring Fund use different indexes as guides in comparing style specific
performance. The Acquiring Fund compares its performance to the Russell 1000 Growth
®
Index and the Leisure Fund to the S&P 500
®
Consumer Discretionary Index.
Constellation Fund
The investment strategies of the Acquiring Fund and the Constellation Fund are similar. Each Fund
invests primarily in equity securities. The Acquiring Fund invests, under normal market
conditions, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in
securities of U.S. issuers at the time of investment. The Acquiring Fund deems an issuer to be a
U.S. issuer if (i) its principal securities trading market (i.e., a U.S. stock exchange, NASDAQ or
over-the-counter markets) is in the U.S.; (ii) alone or on a consolidated basis it derives 50% or
more of its annual revenue from either goods produced, sales made or services performed in the
U.S.; or (iii) it is organized under the laws of, or has a principal office in the U.S. The
Constellation Fund does not have an 80% investment policy.
The Acquiring Fund focuses on large capitalization companies but may also invest in
mid-capitalization companies, while the Constellation Fund may invest in issuers of all market
capitalizations. Each Fund may invest a limited amount of its assets in foreign securities,
although in different amounts. The Acquiring Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in
foreign securities, and the Constellation Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign
securities.
The Acquiring Fund and the Constellation Fund each have similar investment processes that are
designed to seek returns in excess of the Funds benchmark and that emphasize fundamental research,
and to a lesser extent, quantitative analysis. The Acquiring Fund and the Constellation Fund
consider selling a particular security when a company hits Invesco Advisers price target, a
companys fundamentals deteriorate, or the catalysts for growth are no longer present or reflected
in the stock price.
The Acquiring Fund and the Constellation Fund each use the Russell 1000 Growth
®
Index as
a guide in comparing the Funds style specific performance.

Comparison of Principal Risks of Investing in the Funds
The table below describes the principal risks that may affect each Funds investment portfolio.
The principal risks of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund are similar. For more information on
the risks associated with the Acquiring Fund, see the Investment Strategies and Risks section of
the Acquiring Funds SAI.
|
|
|
Principal Risk
|
|
Funds Subject to Risk
|
Active Trading Risk.
The Fund engages in frequent
trading of portfolio securities. Active trading
results in added expenses and may result in a lower
return and increased tax liability.
|
|
Constellation Fund
|
|
|
|
Foreign Risks.
The risks of investing in securities
of foreign issuers can include fluctuations in
foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange
controls, political and economic instability,
differences in financial reporting, differences in
securities regulation and trading, and foreign
taxation issues.
|
|
All Funds
|
|
|
|
Growth Investing Risk.
Growth stocks can perform
differently from the market as a whole. Growth
stocks tend to be more expensive relative to their
earnings or assets compared with other types of
stock. As a result they tend to be more sensitive to
changes in their earnings and can be more volatile.
|
|
All Funds
|
|
|
|
Initial Public Offerings Risk
. The prices of initial
public offering securities fluctuate more than
prices of equity securities of companies with longer
trading histories. In addition, companies offering
securities in initial public offerings may have less
experienced management or limited operating
histories. There can be no assurance that the Fund
will have favorable initial public offering
investment opportunities.
|
|
Leisure Fund
|
|
|
|
Leisure Industry Risk
. The leisure sector depends on
consumer discretionary spending, which generally
falls during economic downturns. Securities of
gambling casinos are often subject to high price
volatility and are considered speculative.
Securities of companies that make video and
electronic games may be affected by the games risk
of rapid obsolescence.
|
|
Leisure Fund
|
|
|
|
Management Risk.
The investment techniques and risk
analysis used by the Funds portfolio managers may
not produce the desired results.
|
|
All Funds
|
|
|
|
Market Risk
. The prices of and the income generated
by the Funds securities may decline in response to,
among other things, investor sentiment, general
economic and market conditions, regional or global
instability, and currency and interest rate
fluctuations.
|
|
All Funds
|
|
|
|
Medium-Sized Companies Risk.
The securities of
medium-sized companies may be subject to more abrupt
or erratic market movements than securities of
larger-sized companies or the market averages in
general. In addition, such companies typically are
subject to a greater degree of change in earnings
and business prospects than are larger companies.
Thus, to the extent the Fund invests in medium-sized
companies, the Fund may be subject to greater
investment risk than that assumed through investment
in the equity securities of larger-sized companies.
|
|
Acquiring Fund
Leisure Fund
|
|
|
|
Sector Fund Risk
. The Funds investments are
concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of
the economy. This means that the Funds investment
concentration in the sector is higher than most
mutual funds and the broad securities market.
Consequently, the Fund may be more volatile than
other mutual funds, and consequently the value of an
investment in the Fund may tend to rise and fall
more rapidly.
|
|
Leisure Fund
|
|
|
|
Synthetic Securities Risk
. Fluctuations in the
values of synthetic securities may not correlate
perfectly with the instruments they are designed to
replicate. Synthetic securities may be subject to
interest rate changes, market price fluctuations,
counterparty risk and liquidity risk.
|
|
Leisure Fund
|
Comparison of Fundamental and Non-Fundamental Investment Restrictions
Each Fund has adopted fundamental investment restrictions concerning, among other things,
diversification of the Funds investment portfolio, concentration in particular industries,
borrowing and loaning money, and investing in real estate and commodities. In addition, the Leisure
Fund has adopted a fundamental investment restriction to concentrate its investments in the
securities of issuers engaged primarily in leisure-related industries. The Acquiring Fund does not
concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers primarily engaged in the same industry.
The fundamental investment restrictions of the Constellation Fund and those of the Acquiring Fund
are the same. Fundamental investment restrictions of a Fund cannot be changed without shareholder
approval.
10
The non-fundamental investment restrictions of the Target Funds and the Acquiring Fund are also the
same, except that the Leisure Fund has non-fundamental investment restrictions relating to
concentration (in connection with its fundamental investment restriction noted above) and requiring
the Leisure Fund to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any
borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of issuers that are engaged in the design,
production and distribution of products and services related to leisure activities of individuals.
The Acquiring Fund also has a non-fundamental investment restriction requiring the Acquiring Fund
to invest, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for
investment purposes) in securities of U.S. issuers at the time of investment. The Constellation
Fund does not have a non-fundamental investment restriction requiring a minimum investment of its
assets in any particular security. Non-fundamental investment restrictions of a Fund can be
changed by a Funds Board.
The Target Funds and the Acquiring Fund may be subject to other investment restrictions that are
not identified above. A full description of each Target Funds and the Acquiring Funds investment
policies and restrictions may be found in its respective SAI.
Comparison of Share Classes and Distribution Arrangements
Shares of each class of a Target Fund will be exchanged for shares of a specific class of the
Acquiring Fund. The following sub-sections identify the Acquiring Fund share class that corresponds
with each Target Fund share class as well as the different distribution arrangements among the
various share classes.
Class Structure.
Each Fund offers multiple share classes. Each such class offers a distinct
structure of sales charges, distribution and/or service fees, and reductions and waivers thereto,
which are designed to address a variety of shareholder servicing needs. In addition, some share
classes have certain eligibility requirements that must be met to invest in that class of shares.
The eligibility requirements are the same for each Fund and are described in the Funds
prospectuses.
The share classes offered by the Target Funds and the corresponding share classes of the Acquiring
Fund that Target Fund shareholders will receive in connection with a Reorganization are as follows:

None of the Funds currently offers Class B shares to new investors. Existing investors of a
Target Fund that owned Class B shares before their closure will continue to receive reinvested
dividends in the form of new Class B shares but may no longer add to their existing positions in
Class B shares. Shareholders who receive Class B shares of the Acquiring Fund in connection with a
Reorganization may continue to hold those shares and reinvest dividends until the scheduled
conversion date of the Class B shares to Class A shares but may not purchase new Class B shares.
Sales Charges.
The sales charge schedules of each share class of each Target Fund are
substantially similar to the sales charge schedule of the corresponding share classes of the
Acquiring Fund. Class A shares of each Fund are sold with an initial sales charge that ranges from
5.50% to zero depending on the amount of your investment. Class C shares of each Fund are sold with
a contingent deferred sales charge that may be imposed when the shares are sold. Class A shares may
also be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge on purchases of $1 million or more if
redeemed prior to 18 months after the date of purchase. Each Fund offers reductions and waivers of
the initial sales charge and contingent deferred sales charge to certain eligible investors or
under certain circumstances, which are substantially similar between the Funds. Class R shares of
each Fund are sold without any initial sales charge and Invesco Distributors, Inc. (IDI) may make
payments to the dealers of record of 0.75% of the first $5 million plus 0.50% of amounts in excess
of $5 million. Class R5 shares of the Constellation Fund and Acquiring Fund, and Class Y shares of
each Fund are sold without any initial sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge. Investor
Class
11
shares of the Leisure Fund are sold without any initial sales charge or contingent deferred
sales charge, and Leisure
Fund shareholders who hold Investor Class will receive Class A shares of the Acquiring Fund as part
of its Reorganization. Asset based sales charges or service fees under one or more plans adopted by
the Board are described in the following section. The Funds prospectuses and statements of
additional information describe the principal sales charge schedules and applicable waivers and
exemptions of each share class.
You will not pay an initial sales charge on Acquiring Fund Class A shares that you receive in
connection with a Reorganization. In addition, the exchange of Class A shares, Class B shares or
Class C shares of a Target Fund for corresponding classes of the Acquiring Fund at the consummation
of a Reorganization will not result in the imposition of any contingent deferred sales charge that
applies to those share classes. Upon consummation of a Reorganization, former Target Fund
shareholders of Class A shares, Class B shares or Class C shares will be credited for the period of
time from their original date of purchase of the Target Fund Class A shares, Class B shares or
Class C shares for purposes of determining the amount of any contingent deferred sales charge that
may be due upon subsequent redemption, if any. In addition, the contingent deferred sales charge
schedule that applies to the Class B shares of a Target Fund that you own will continue to apply to
the Class B shares of the Acquiring Fund that you receive in a Reorganization. The Acquiring Fund
initial sales charges for Class A shares and deferred sales charges that apply to Class A shares
and Class C shares will apply to any Class A shares or Class C shares of the Acquiring Fund
purchased after a Reorganization, unless you are eligible for a reduction or waiver of the initial
sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge. Investor Class shareholders of the
Leisure Fund who receive Class A shares of the Acquiring Fund will be eligible to purchase
additional Class A shares without paying an initial sales charge so long as the shares are held in
the same account at the same financial intermediary as at the time of Closing.
Distribution Fees.
The Funds have adopted distribution plans and service plans (together, the
Distribution Plans) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the 1940 Act), with respect to each of their Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Investor
Class shares, as applicable. Class R5 and Class Y shares of the Funds, as applicable, are not
subject to the Distribution Plans.
Pursuant to the Distribution Plans, each Target Fund is authorized to make payments to IDI, the
Funds principal underwriter, in connection with the distribution of Target Fund shares and
providing shareholder services at the annual rate of 0.25% of each Target Funds average daily net
assets attributable to Class A and Investor Class shares, as applicable, at the annual rate of
1.00% of each Target Funds average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares and
at the annual rate of 0.50% of each Target Funds average daily net assets attributable to Class R
shares. This type of Distribution Plan is sometimes referred to as a compensation-type plan
because the underwriter is compensated at a fixed rate, regardless of its actual distribution and
service-related expenditures.
The Distribution Plans for the Acquiring Fund and the Target Funds are similar except that IDI may
be reimbursed from the Acquiring Fund only up to the amount it has spent on activities or expenses
primarily intended to result in the sale of shares or servicing of shareholders, up to the same
limits as the Target Funds Distribution Plans (i.e., up to 0.25% for Class A shares, up to 1.00%
for Class B and Class C shares and up to 0.50% for Class R shares). This type of Distribution Plan
is sometimes referred to as a reimbursement-type plan because the underwriter is only entitled to
be reimbursed for its plan-related expenses. Thus, it is possible that under the Target Funds
compensation-type Distribution Plans the underwriter could, in practice, receive payments in
excess of the amounts actually paid under the Acquiring Funds reimbursement type Distribution
Plan.
The fee tables under the SUMMARY OF KEY INFORMATION How do the Funds expenses compare section
of this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus describe the fees paid under each Funds Distribution Plan
for a recent period as well as an estimate of the fees to be paid under the Acquiring Funds
Distribution Plan following the Reorganizations.
Comparison of Purchase and Redemption Procedures
The purchase procedures employed by the Target Funds and the Acquiring Fund are the same. Each Fund
offers shares through its distributor on a continuous basis. Shares of the Funds may be purchased
directly through the transfer agent and through other authorized financial intermediaries.
Investors may purchase both initial and additional shares by mail, wire, telephone or the internet.
The Acquiring Fund prospectus enclosed with this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus describes in
detail how shareholders can purchase Acquiring Fund shares. Class A, Class B (closed to new
investments, except dividend reinvestments), Class C, Class Y and Investor Class shares of the
Funds, as applicable, require a minimum investment of $1,000 ($250 for IRA, Roth IRA, and Coverdell
Education Savings Accounts). There is no minimum investment required to purchase Class R shares.
Class R5 shares of the Constellation Fund and the Acquiring Fund each require a minimum initial
investment that ranges from $0 to $10 million, depending on the type of account making the
investment. The Acquiring Funds prospectus describes the types of accounts to which the minimum
initial investment applies. For accounts participating in a
12
systematic investment program, the
minimum investment is $50 ($25 for IRA, Roth IRA, and Coverdell Education Savings Accounts).
Certain exemptions apply as set forth in the Funds prospectuses. The foregoing investment
minimums will not apply to shares received in connection with a Reorganization. However, investors
may be charged a small-account fee if account balances remain below the required investment minimum
for certain periods. See the Funds prospectuses for details.
Comparison of Distribution Policies
Each Fund generally declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, annually, and
capital gains distributions, if any, at least annually. Each Fund may also declare and pay capital
gains distributions more frequently, if necessary, in order to reduce or eliminate federal excise
or income taxes on the Fund. Each Fund automatically reinvests any dividends from net investment
income or capital gains distributions, unless otherwise instructed by a shareholder to pay
dividends and distributions in cash.
Forms of Organization and Securities to be Issued
The Target Funds and the Acquiring Fund are series of the Trusts, which are Delaware statutory
trusts. In addition, each Trusts governing instruments, including a declaration of trust and
bylaws, are substantially the same. As a result, there are no material differences between the
rights of shareholders under the governing state laws and governing instruments of the Target Funds
and the Acquiring Fund. Each share of a Fund represents an equal proportionate interest with each
other share of that Fund, and each such share is entitled to equal dividend, liquidation,
redemption and voting rights, except where class voting is required by the respective Trusts
governing instruments, the Board or applicable law, in which case shareholders of a class will have
exclusive voting rights on matters affecting only that class. The assets and liabilities of each
Fund are legally separate from the assets and liabilities of any other fund that is a series of the
respective Trust. More information about the voting, dividend and other rights associated with
shares of the Funds can be found in each Funds SAI.
At the Closing (defined below), Acquiring Fund shares will be credited to Target Fund shareholders
only on a book-entry basis. The Acquiring Fund shall not issue certificates representing shares in
connection with the exchange of Target Fund shares, irrespective of whether Target Fund
shareholders hold their shares in certificated form. At the Closing, all outstanding certificates
representing shares of a Target Fund will be cancelled.
Pending Litigation
There is no material litigation affecting the Funds. Detailed information concerning other pending
litigation can be found in each Funds SAI.
Where to Find More Information
For more information with respect to each Fund concerning the following topics, please refer to the
following sections of the Funds prospectuses: (i) see Fund Management for more information about
the management of a Fund; (ii) see Other Information for more information about a Funds policy
with respect to dividends and distributions; and (iii) see Shareholder Account Information for
more information about the pricing, purchase, redemption and repurchase of shares of a Fund, tax
consequences to shareholders of various transactions in shares of a Fund, and distribution
arrangements of a Fund.
THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATIONS
Summary of Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
The terms and conditions under which each Reorganization may be consummated are set forth in the
Agreement. Significant provisions of the Agreement are summarized below; however, this summary is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Agreement, a copy of which is attached as
Exhibit D to this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
With respect to each Reorganization, if shareholders of a Target Fund approve the Agreement and
other closing conditions are satisfied, the assets of the Target Fund will be delivered to the
Acquiring Funds custodian for the account of the Acquiring Fund in exchange for the assumption by
the Acquiring Fund of the liabilities of the Target Fund and delivery by the Acquiring Fund to the
Target Fund for further delivery to the holders of record as of the Effective Time (as defined
below) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Target Fund of a number of shares of the
Acquiring Fund (including, if applicable, fractional shares rounded to the nearest thousandth),
having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the net assets of the Target Fund so
transferred, all determined and adjusted as provided in the Agreement. The value of your account
with the Acquiring Fund immediately after a Reorganization will be the same as the value of your
account with the Target Fund immediately prior to a Reorganization.
13
The class or classes of Acquiring Fund shares that shareholders will receive in connection with a
Reorganization will be the corresponding class or classes of Target Fund shares that shareholders
hold, as described above under
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS Comparison of Share Classes and Distribution
Arrangements.
Each Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund will be required to make representations and warranties in
the form of Agreement that are customary in matters such as the Reorganizations.
If shareholders approve the Reorganizations and if all of the closing conditions set forth in the
Agreement are satisfied or waived, consummation of the Reorganizations (the Closing) is expected
to occur on or around July, 15, 2013, (the Closing Date) immediately prior to the opening of
regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the Closing Date (the Effective Time). The
consummation of one Reorganization is not conditioned upon the consummation of the other
Reorganization. As a result, the Reorganizations may close at different times. In addition, the
parties may choose to delay the consummation of a Reorganization that shareholders have approved so
that both Reorganizations are consummated at the same time. Following receipt of the requisite
shareholder vote in favor of a Reorganization and as soon as reasonably practicable after the
Closing, the outstanding shares of a Target Fund will be terminated in accordance with its
governing documents and applicable law.
If shareholders of a Target Fund do not approve the Agreement or if a Reorganization does not
otherwise close, the Board of the respective Trust will consider what additional action to take.
The Agreement may be terminated and a Reorganization may be abandoned at any time prior to Closing
by mutual agreement of the parties. The Agreement may be amended or modified in a writing signed by
the parties to the Agreement.
Board Considerations in Approving the Reorganizations
The Reorganizations are part of a larger group of Invesco Fund reorganizations, which are designed
to put forth Invescos most compelling investment processes and strategies, reduce product overlap
and create additional scale in the resulting funds. Each Board created an ad hoc
committee (the Ad Hoc Merger Committee) which met separately in October 2012 and December 2012,
to discuss the proposed Reorganizations. Two separate meetings of the full Board were also held to
review and consider the Reorganizations, including considering a recommendation from the Ad Hoc
Merger Committee. The Trustees who are not interested persons, as that term is defined in the
1940 Act, of the Trusts (the Independent Trustees) have been advised on this matter by
independent counsel to the Independent Trustees and by the independent Senior Officer, an officer
of the Trusts who reports directly to the Independent Trustees. The Board requested and received
from Invesco Advisers and IDI written materials containing relevant information about the Funds and
the proposed Reorganizations, including fee and expense information on an actual and pro forma
estimated basis, and comparative portfolio composition and performance data.
The Board considered the potential benefits and costs of a Reorganization to each Target Fund, the
Acquiring Fund and their respective shareholders. The Board reviewed detailed information comparing
the following information for each Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund: (1) investment objectives,
policies and restrictions; (2) portfolio management; (3) portfolio composition; (4) short-term and
long-term investment performance; (5) the current expense ratios and expense structures, including
contractual investment advisory fees; (6) the expected federal income tax consequences to the
Funds, including any impact on capital loss carry forwards; and (7) asset size and net purchase
(redemption) trends. The Board also considered the benefits to each Target Fund of (i) combining
with a compatible fund to create a larger fund with a more diversified shareholder base and greater
viability; and (ii) the expected tax free nature of the Reorganizations for each Target Fund and
its shareholders for federal income tax purposes. The Board also considered the overall goal of
the Reorganizations and other Invesco Fund reorganizations to rationalize the Invesco
Funds to enable IDI to better focus on the combined funds to promote additional asset growth. With
respect to each individual Reorganization, the Board considered the following additional matters.
With respect to the proposed Reorganization of the Leisure Fund into the Acquiring Fund, the Board
further considered that (i) Leisure Fund shareholders would become shareholders of a Fund with a
lower effective management fee and estimated lower overall total expense ratios on a pro forma
basis; (ii) Class B shareholders of the Leisure Fund are expected to benefit from the lower actual
12b-1 fee charged to the Acquiring Funds Class B shares under its reimbursement type 12b-1 plan;
(iii) Leisure Fund shareholders would become shareholders in a less concentrated fund that invests
across multiple market sectors as opposed to just the leisure sector; (iv) the different investment
processes employed by the Funds, including that the Leisure Fund uses a top-down quantitative
investment approach that considers macroeconomic and industry trends whereas the Acquiring Fund
uses a bottom-up stock selection process that emphasizes fundamental research, and to a lesser
extent, quantitative analysis; (v) the Funds have a low degree of portfolio overlap; and (vi) the
Funds have different portfolio management teams.
With respect to the proposed Reorganization of the Constellation Fund into the Acquiring Fund, the
Board further considered that (i) Constellation Fund shareholders would become shareholders of a
Fund with a lower effective management fee and estimated lower overall total expense ratios on a
pro forma basis; (ii) Class B shareholders of the Constellation Fund are expected to benefit from
the lower actual 12b-1 fee charged to the Acquiring Funds Class B shares under its reimbursement
type 12b-1 plan; (iii) the investment objective, strategies and related risks of
14
the Funds are
similar; (iv) the Funds have a high degree of portfolio overlap; and (v) the Funds have the same
portfolio management team.
Based upon the information and considerations described above, the Board, on behalf of the Target
Funds and the Acquiring Fund, approved each of the Reorganizations in order to combine each Target
Fund with a compatible fund to create a larger fund with a relatively more diversified shareholder
base. The Board also determined that shareholders of the Funds could potentially benefit from the
future growth in assets and greater viability facilitated by the Reorganizations. The Board
concluded that each Reorganization is in the best interests of each Target Fund and the Acquiring
Fund and that no dilution would result to the shareholders of the Target Funds or the Acquiring
Fund from the Reorganizations. Consequently, the Board approved the Agreement and each of the
Reorganizations on December 5, 2012.
Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following is a general summary of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations of the
Reorganizations and is based upon the current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the Code), the existing U.S. Treasury Regulations thereunder, current administrative
rulings of the IRS and published judicial decisions, all of which are subject to change. These
considerations are general in nature and individual shareholders should consult their own tax
advisers as to the federal, state, local, and foreign tax considerations applicable to them and
their individual circumstances. These same considerations generally do not apply to shareholders
who hold their shares in a tax-deferred account.
Each Reorganization is intended to be a tax-free reorganization pursuant to Section 368(a) of the
Code. The principal federal income tax considerations that are expected to result from the
Reorganization of each Target Fund into the Acquiring Fund are as follows:
|
|
|
no gain or loss will be recognized by the Target Fund or the shareholders of
the Target Fund as a result of the Reorganization;
|
|
|
|
|
no gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Fund as a result of the Reorganization;
|
|
|
|
|
the aggregate tax basis of the shares of the Acquiring Fund to be received by a
shareholder of the Target Fund will be the same as the shareholders aggregate tax
basis of the shares of the Target Fund; and
|
|
|
|
|
the holding period of the shares of the Acquiring Fund received by a
shareholder of the Target Fund will include the period that a shareholder held the
shares of the Target Fund (provided that such shares of the Target Fund are capital
assets in the hands of such shareholder as of the Closing).
|
Neither the Target Funds nor the Acquiring Fund have requested or will request an advance ruling
from the IRS as to the federal tax consequences of the Reorganizations. As a condition to Closing,
Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP will render a favorable opinion to each Target Fund and the
Acquiring Fund as to the foregoing federal income tax consequences of each Reorganization, which
opinion will be conditioned upon, among other things, the accuracy, as of the Closing Date, of
certain representations of each Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund upon which Stradley Ronon
Stevens & Young, LLP will rely in rendering its opinion. Such opinion of counsel may state that no
opinion is expressed as to the effect of the Reorganizations on the Target Funds, Acquiring Fund,
or any Target Fund shareholder with respect to any transferred asset as to which any unrealized
gain or loss is required to be recognized for federal income tax purposes at the end of a taxable
year (or on the termination or transfer thereof) under a mark-to-market system of accounting. A
copy of the opinion will be filed with the SEC and will be available for public inspection. See
WHERE TO FIND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
Opinions of counsel are not binding upon the IRS or the courts. If a Reorganization is consummated
but the IRS or the courts determine that the Reorganization does not qualify as a tax-free
reorganization under the Code, and thus is taxable, a Target Fund would recognize gain or loss on
the transfer of its assets to the Acquiring Fund and each shareholder of the Target Fund would
recognize a taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between its tax basis in its Target Fund
shares and the fair market value of the shares of the Acquiring Fund it receives. The failure of
one Reorganization to qualify as a tax-free reorganization would not adversely affect the other
Reorganization.
Prior to the Closing of each Reorganization, each Target Fund will declare one or more dividends,
and the Acquiring Fund may, but is not required to, declare a dividend, payable at or near the time
of Closing to their respective shareholders to the extent necessary to avoid entity level tax or as
otherwise deemed desirable. Such distributions, if made, are anticipated to be made in the 2013
calendar year and would be taxable to shareholders in such year.
A large portion of the Leisure Funds portfolio assets will be sold in connection with its
Reorganization as distinct from normal portfolio turnover. Such repositioning of the Leisure Funds
portfolio assets may occur before or after the Closing of its Reorganization. These sales may
result in the realization of capital gains, reduced by any available
15
capital loss carryovers, which
would be distributed to shareholders. The amount of any capital gains that may be realized and
distributed to the shareholders will depend upon a variety of factors, including the Leisure Funds
net
unrealized appreciation in the value of its portfolio assets at that time. Based on net unrealized
appreciation in portfolio investments on a tax basis at October 31, 2012, the Leisure Fund would
realize approximately $42.7 million of net capital gains ($4.70 per share; 12.0% of NAV), assuming
that 55% of its portfolio investments are sold on a pro-rata basis. The Leisure Fund will also
incur transaction costs, such as commissions, due to the repositioning of the portfolio. Invesco
believes that these portfolio transaction costs will total approximately $890,546 ($0.10 per
share).
The tax attributes, including capital loss carryovers, of the Target Funds move to the Acquiring
Fund in the Reorganizations. The capital loss carryovers of the Target Funds and the Acquiring Fund
are available to offset future gains recognized by the combined Fund, subject to limitations under
the Code. Where these limitations apply, all or a portion of a Funds capital loss carryovers may
become unavailable, the effect of which may be to accelerate the recognition of taxable gain to the
combined Fund and its shareholders post-Closing.
First
, the capital loss carryovers of each Fund
that experiences a more than 50% ownership change in a Reorganization (e.g., in a combination of
three Funds, each Fund whose shareholders post-Closing own less that 50% of the shares, by value,
of the combined Fund), increased by any current year loss or decreased by any current year gain,
together with any net unrealized depreciation in the value of its portfolio investments
(collectively, its aggregate capital loss carryovers), are expected to become subject to an
annual limitation. Losses in excess of that limitation may be carried forward to succeeding tax
years, subject, in the case of net capital losses that arise in taxable years beginning on or
before December 22, 2010, to an overall eight-year carryover period. The annual limitation will
generally equal the net asset value of a Fund on the Closing Date multiplied by the long-term
tax-exempt rate published by the IRS. In the case of a Fund with net unrealized built-in gains at
the time of Closing of a Reorganization (i.e., unrealized appreciation in value of the Funds
investments), the annual limitation for a taxable year will be increased by the amount of such
built-in gains that are recognized in the taxable year.
Second
, if a Fund has built-in gains at the
time of Closing that are realized by the combined Fund in the five-year period following a
Reorganization, such built-in gains, when realized, may not be offset by the losses (including any
capital loss carryovers and built in losses) of another Fund.
Third
, the capital losses of a
Target Fund that may be used by the Acquiring Fund (including to offset any built-in gains of a
Target Fund itself) for the first taxable year ending after the Closing Date will be limited to an
amount equal to the capital gain net income of the Acquiring Fund for such taxable year (excluding
capital loss carryovers) treated as realized post-Closing based on the number of days remaining in
such year.
Fourth
, a Reorganization may result in an earlier expiration of a Target Funds capital
loss carryovers that are subject to an eight-year carryover period because the Reorganization
causes the Target Funds tax year to close early in the year of the Reorganization.
The aggregate capital loss carryovers of the Funds and the approximate annual limitation on the use
by the Acquiring Fund, post-Closing, of each Target Funds aggregate capital loss carryovers
following the Reorganizations are as follows:

Based upon the Constellation Funds capital loss position at October 31, 2012, the annual
limitation on the use of the Constellation Funds aggregate capital loss carryovers will likely
limit the use of such losses by the Acquiring Fund, post-Closing, to offset capital gains, if any,
it realizes. The effect of the annual limitation may be to cause the combined Fund, post-Closing,
to distribute more capital gains in a taxable year than might otherwise have been the case if no
such limitation had applied. The aggregate capital loss carryovers of the Acquiring Fund may
continue to be available. The ability of the Acquiring Fund to absorb its own capital loss
carryovers and those of the Target Funds post-Closing depends upon a variety of factors that cannot
be known in advance. For more information with respect to each Funds capital loss carryovers,
please refer to the Funds shareholder report.
16
Shareholders of a Target Fund will receive a proportionate share of any taxable income and gains
realized by the Acquiring Fund and not distributed to its shareholders prior to the Reorganizations
when such income and gains are eventually distributed by the Acquiring Fund. As a result,
shareholders of a Target Fund may receive a greater
amount of taxable distributions than they would have had the Reorganizations not occurred. In
addition, if the Acquiring Fund following the Reorganizations has proportionately greater
unrealized appreciation in its portfolio investments as a percentage of its net asset value than a
Target Fund, shareholders of the Target Fund, post-Closing, may receive greater amounts of taxable
gain as such portfolio investments are sold than they otherwise might have if the Reorganizations
had not occurred. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of the portfolio investments
of each Target Fund on a tax basis as a percentage of its net asset value is 22% for the Leisure
Fund at October 31, 2012 and 16% for the Constellation Fund at October 31, 2012, compared to that
of the Acquiring Fund at August 31, 2012 of 19%, and 18% on a combined basis.
Costs of the Reorganizations
The estimated total costs of the Reorganizations for each Target Fund, as well as the estimated
proxy solicitation costs for the Target Funds, which are part of the total Reorganization costs,
are set forth in the table below.

The total costs of the Reorganizations for the Acquiring Fund are estimated to be $30,000 for
each Reorganization. Invesco Advisers will bear the Reorganization costs of the Acquiring Fund.
The costs of a Reorganization include legal counsel fees, independent accountant fees, expenses
related to the printing and mailing of this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and fees associated
with the proxy solicitation but do not include any portfolio transaction costs, such as brokerage
fees and foreign stock transfer tax, arising from a Reorganization.
VOTING INFORMATION
Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus
We are sending you this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the enclosed proxy card because the
Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Meeting and at any adjournments of the Meeting. This
Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus gives you information about the business to be conducted at the
Meeting. Target Fund shareholders may vote by appearing in person at the Meeting and following the
instructions below. You do not need to attend the Meeting to vote, however. Instead, you may simply
complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy card or vote by telephone or through a website
established for that purpose.
This Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the enclosed Notice of Joint Special Meeting of Shareholders
and the enclosed proxy card are expected to be mailed on or about February 20, 2013 to all
shareholders entitled to vote. Shareholders of record of the Target Funds as of the close of
business on January 24, 2013 (the Record Date) are entitled to vote at the Meeting. The number of
outstanding shares of each class of the Target Funds on January 24, 2013 can be found at Exhibit A.
Each share is entitled to one vote for each full share held, and a proportionate fractional vote
for each fractional share held.
Proxies will have the authority to vote and act on behalf of shareholders at any adjournment of the
Meeting. If a proxy is authorized to vote for a shareholder, the shareholder may revoke the
authorization at any time before it is exercised by sending in another proxy card with a later date
or by notifying the Secretary of the Target Funds in writing at the address of the Target Funds set
forth on the cover page of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus before the Meeting that the
shareholder has revoked its proxy. In addition, although merely attending the Meeting will not
revoke your proxy, if a shareholder is present at the Meeting, the shareholder may withdraw the
proxy and vote in person. However, if your shares are held through a broker-dealer or other
financial intermediary, you will need to obtain a legal proxy from them in order to vote your
shares at the Meeting.
Quorum Requirement and Adjournment
17
A quorum of shareholders is necessary to hold a valid shareholders meeting of each Target Fund. For
each Target Fund, a quorum will exist if shareholders representing one-third of the outstanding
shares of the Target Fund entitled to vote are present at the Meeting in person or by proxy.
Proxies received prior to the Meeting on which no vote is indicated will be voted FOR the
Agreement. Because the proposal described in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is considered
non-routine, under the rules
applicable to broker-dealers, if your broker holds your shares in its name, the broker will not be
entitled to vote your shares if it has not received instructions from you.
Abstentions and broker non-votes will count as shares present at the Meeting for purposes of
establishing a quorum. If a quorum is not present at the Meeting or if a quorum is present but
sufficient votes to approve the Agreement are not received, the person(s) presiding over the
Meeting or the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to
allow for further solicitation of votes. The persons named as proxies will vote those proxies that
they are entitled to vote in favor of such an adjournment, provided that they determine that such
an adjournment and additional solicitation is reasonable and in the interest of shareholders based
on a consideration of all relevant factors, including, among other things, the percentage of votes
then cast, the percentage of negative votes then cast, the nature of the proposed solicitation
activities and the nature of the reasons for such further solicitation.
Vote Necessary to Approve the Agreement
The Board has unanimously approved the Agreement, subject to shareholder approval. With respect to
each Reorganization, shareholder approval of the Agreement requires the affirmative vote of the
lesser of (i) 67% or more of the Target Fund shares present at the Meeting, if the holders of more
than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Target Fund are present in person or represented by
proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Target Fund.
Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present but are not considered votes cast at the
Meeting. As a result, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against
the Agreement because its approval requires the affirmative vote of a percentage of the outstanding
shares of a Target Fund, as opposed to a percentage of votes cast.
Proxy Solicitation
The Target Funds have engaged the services of Computershare Fund Services (Solicitor) to assist
in the solicitation of proxies for the Meeting. Solicitors costs are described under the THE
PROPOSED REORGANIZATION Costs of the Reorganizations section of this Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus. Proxies are expected to be solicited principally by mail, but the Target
Funds, Invesco Advisers or its affiliates or the Solicitor may also solicit proxies by telephone,
facsimile or personal interview. The Target Funds officers and employees of Invesco Advisers or
its affiliates may also solicit proxies but will not receive any additional or special compensation
for any such solicitation.
Under the agreement with the Solicitor, the Solicitor will be paid a project management fee as well
as telephone solicitation expenses incurred for reminder calls, outbound telephone voting,
confirmation of telephone votes, inbound telephone contact, obtaining shareholders telephone
numbers, and providing additional materials upon shareholder request. The agreement also provides
that the Solicitor shall be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses, including
liabilities under the federal securities laws.
Other Meeting Matters
Management is not aware of any matters to be presented at the Meeting other than as discussed in
this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Under each Trusts bylaws, business transacted at a special
meeting such as the Meeting shall be limited to (i) the purpose stated in the notice and (ii)
adjournment of the special meeting with regard to the stated purpose. If any other matters properly
come before the Meeting, the shares represented by proxies will be voted with respect thereto in
accordance with their best judgment.
Share Ownership by Large Shareholders, Management and Trustees
A list of the name, address and percent ownership of each person who, as of January 24, 2013, to
the knowledge of each Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund, owned 5% or more of the outstanding
shares of a class of such Target Fund or the Acquiring Fund, respectively, can be found at Exhibits
B and C.
Information regarding the ownership of shares of each Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund by the
Trustees and executive officers of the Trusts can be found at Exhibits B and C.
18
OTHER MATTERS
Capitalization
The following table sets forth as of August 31, 2012, for the Reorganizations, the total net
assets, number of shares outstanding and net asset value per share of each class of each Fund. This
information is generally referred to as the capitalization of a Fund. The term
pro forma
capitalization means the expected capitalization of the Acquiring Fund after it has combined with
the corresponding Target Fund. The pro forma capitalization column in the table assumes that all of
the Reorganizations have taken place. The capitalizations of the Target Funds, the Acquiring Fund
and their classes are likely to be different on the Closing Date as a result of daily share
purchase, redemption, and market activity.

Invesco Constellation Fund and Invesco Leisure Fund (each, a Target Fund) are expected to
incur $1,570,000 and $170,000, respectively, in Reorganization costs. Each Target Fund will bear
100% of those costs. The Acquiring Fund is expected to incur $30,000 in Reorganization costs for
each Reorganization and Invesco Advisers will bear 100% of those costs. As a result Net Assets
have been adjusted for each Target Funds expenses to be incurred in connection with a
Reorganization. The Reorganization costs have been allocated among all classes based on relative
net assets.

Class shareholders of the Leisure Fund will be issued Class A shares of the Acquiring Fund as part

Pro Forma shares outstanding have been adjusted for the accumulated change in the number of

Dissenters Rights
If the Reorganizations are approved at the Meeting, Target Fund shareholders will not have the
right to dissent and obtain payment of the fair value of their shares because the exercise of
dissenters rights is subject to the forward pricing requirements of Rule 22c-1 under the 1940 Act,
which supersedes state law. Shareholders of the Target Funds, however, have the right to redeem
their shares at net asset value subject to applicable deferred sales charges and/or redemption fees
(if any) until the Closing Date of the Reorganizations. After the Reorganizations, Target Fund
shareholders will hold shares of the Acquiring Fund, which may also be redeemed at net asset value
subject to applicable contingent deferred sales charges.
Shareholder Proposals
The Funds do not generally hold annual meetings of shareholders. A shareholder desiring to submit a
proposal intended to be presented at any meeting of shareholders of a Target Fund hereafter called
should send the proposal to the Target Fund at the Target Funds principal offices so that it is
received within a reasonable time before the proxy materials are printed and mailed. If the
proposed Reorganization is approved and completed for a Target Fund, shareholders of such Target
Fund will become shareholders of the Acquiring Fund and, thereafter, will be subject to the notice
requirements of the Acquiring Fund. The mere submission of a proposal by a shareholder does not
guarantee that such proposal will be included in a proxy statement because compliance with certain
rules under the federal securities laws is required before inclusion of the proposal is required.
Also, the submission does not mean that the proposal will be presented at a future meeting. For a
shareholder proposal to be considered at a future shareholder meeting, it must be a proper matter
for consideration under applicable law.
WHERE TO FIND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the related SAI do not contain all the information set
forth in the registration statements, the exhibits relating thereto and the annual and semi-annual

hereby made. The SEC file number of the registrant of each Funds registration statement, which
contains the Funds prospectuses and related SAIs, is 811-03826 for AIM Sector Funds, 811-01424 for

amended, and the 1940 Act and in accordance therewith, each Fund files reports and other
information with the SEC. Reports, proxy materials, registration statements and other information
filed (including the Registration Statement relating to the Funds on Form N-14 of which this Joint
Proxy Statement/Prospectus is a part) may be inspected without charge and copied at the public

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (Agreement) is adopted as of this ___ day of

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements
hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto covenant and agree as

1.

DESCRIPTION OF THE REORGANIZATIONS
|
1.1. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Reorganization described herein shall
be conducted separately from the others, and a party that is not a party to a Reorganization shall
incur no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to such Reorganization by reason of being
a party to this Agreement. If any one or more Reorganizations should fail to be consummated, such
failure shall not affect the other Reorganizations in any way.
1.2. Provided that all conditions precedent to a Reorganization set forth herein have been
satisfied as of the Closing Date (as defined in Section 3.1), and based on the representations and
warranties each party provides to the others, each Target Entity and its corresponding Acquiring
Entity agree to take the following steps with respect to their Reorganization(s), the parties to
which and classes of shares to be issued in connection with which are set forth in Exhibit A:
D-1
(a) The Target Fund shall transfer all of its Assets, as defined and set forth in
Section 1.2(b), to the Acquiring Fund, and the Acquiring Fund in exchange therefor shall
assume the Liabilities, as defined and set forth in Section 1.2(c), and deliver to the
Target Fund the number of full and fractional Acquiring Fund shares determined in the manner
set forth in Section 2.
(b) The assets of the Target Fund to be transferred to the Acquiring Fund shall consist
of all assets, property, and goodwill including, without limitation, all cash
,
securities,
commodities and futures interests, claims (whether absolute or contingent, known or unknown,
accrued or unaccrued and including, without limitation, any interest in pending or future
legal claims in connection with past or present portfolio holdings, whether in the form of
class action claims, opt-out or other direct litigation claims, or regulator or
government-established investor recovery fund claims, and any and all resulting recoveries)
and dividends or interest receivable that are owned by the Target Fund and any deferred or
prepaid expenses shown as an asset on the books of the Target Fund on the Closing Date,
except for cash, bank deposits or cash equivalent securities in an amount necessary to pay
the estimated costs of extinguishing any Excluded Liabilities (as defined in Section 1.2(c))
and cash in an amount necessary to pay any distributions pursuant to Section 7.1(f)
(collectively, with respect to each Target Fund separately, Assets).
(c) The Acquiring Fund shall assume all of the liabilities of the Target Fund,
whether accrued or contingent, known or unknown, existing at the Closing Date, except for
the Target Funds Excluded Liabilities (as defined below), if any, pursuant to this
Agreement (collectively, with respect to each Target Fund separately, Liabilities). If
prior to the Closing Date the Acquiring Entity identifies a liability that the Acquiring
Entity and the Target Entity mutually agree should not be assumed by the Acquiring Fund,
such liability shall be excluded from the definition of Liabilities hereunder and shall be
listed on a Schedule of Excluded Liabilities to be signed by the Acquiring Entity and the
Target Entity at Closing and attached to this Agreement as Schedule 1.2(c) (the Excluded
Liabilities). The Assets minus the Liabilities of a Target Fund shall be referred to
herein as the Target Funds Net Assets.
(d) As soon as is reasonably practicable after the Closing, the Target Fund will
distribute to its shareholders of record (Target Fund Shareholders) the shares of the
Acquiring Fund of the corresponding class received by the Target Fund pursuant to Section
1.2(a), as set forth in Exhibit A, on a pro rata basis within that class, and the Target
Fund will as promptly as practicable completely liquidate and dissolve. Such distribution
and liquidation will be accomplished, with respect to each class of the Target Funds
shares, by the transfer of the Acquiring Fund shares of the corresponding class then
credited to the account of the Target Fund on the books of the Acquiring Fund to open
accounts on the share records of the Acquiring Fund in the names of the Target Fund
Shareholders of the class. The aggregate net asset value of the Acquiring Fund shares to be
so credited to the corresponding Target Fund Shareholders shall be equal to the aggregate
net asset value of the corresponding Target Funds shares owned by the Target Fund
Shareholders on the Valuation Date. At the Closing, any outstanding certificates
representing shares of a Target Fund will be cancelled. The Acquiring Fund
D-2
shall not issue certificates representing shares in connection with such exchange,
irrespective of whether Target Fund shareholders hold their Target Fund shares in
certificated form.
(e) Ownership of Acquiring Fund shares will be shown on its books, as such are
maintained by the Acquiring Funds transfer agent.
2.1. With respect to the Reorganization:
(a) The value of the Target Funds Assets shall be the value of such Assets computed as
of immediately after the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE),
which shall reflect the declaration of any dividends, on the business day next preceding the
Closing Date (the Valuation Date), using the Target Funds valuation procedures
established by the Target Entitys Board of Trustees.
(b) The net asset value per share of each class of the Acquiring Fund shares issued in
connection with the Reorganization shall be the net asset value per share of the
corresponding class of each class computed on the Valuation Date using the Acquiring Funds
valuation procedures established by the Acquiring Entitys Board of Trustees, which are the
same as the Target Funds valuation procedures.
(c) The number of shares issued of each class of the Acquiring Fund (including
fractional shares, if any, rounded to the nearest thousandth) in exchange for the Target
Funds Net Assets shall be determined by dividing the value of the Net Assets of the Target
Fund attributable to each class of Target Fund shares by the net asset value per share of
the corresponding share class of the Acquiring Fund.
(d) All computations of value shall be made by the Target Funds and the Acquiring
Funds designated recordkeeping agent using the valuation procedures described in this
Section 2.

CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE
|
3.1. The Reorganization shall close on the date identified on Exhibit A or such other date as

taking place at the closing of a Reorganization (the Closing) shall be deemed to take place
simultaneously as of immediately prior to the opening of regular trading on the NYSE on the Closing
Date of that Reorganization unless otherwise agreed to by the parties (the Closing Time).
3.2. With respect to the Reorganization:
(a) The Target Funds portfolio securities, investments or other assets that are
represented by a certificate or other written instrument shall be transferred and delivered
by the Target Fund as of the Closing Date to the Acquiring Funds Custodian for the account
of the Acquiring Fund, duly endorsed in proper form for transfer and in such
D-3
condition as to constitute good delivery thereof. The Target Fund shall direct the
Target Funds custodian (the Target Custodian) to deliver to the Acquiring Funds
Custodian as of the Closing Date by book entry, in accordance with the customary practices
of Target Custodian and any securities depository (as defined in Rule 17f-4 under the

deposited, the Target Funds portfolio securities and instruments so held. The cash to be
transferred by a Target Fund shall be delivered to the Acquiring Funds Custodian by wire
transfer of federal funds or other appropriate means on the Closing Date.
(b) The Target Entity shall direct the Target Custodian for each Target Fund to
deliver, at the Closing or promptly thereafter, a certificate of an authorized officer
stating that except as permitted by Section 3.2(a), the Assets have been delivered in proper
form to the Acquiring Fund no later than the Closing Time on the Closing Date. The Acquiring
Entity shall be responsible for paying all necessary taxes in connection with the delivery
of the Assets, including all applicable Federal, state and foreign stock transfer stamps, if
any, and shall deliver, at the Closing or promptly thereafter, a certificate of an
authorized officer or the Acquiring Entity stating that all such taxes have been paid or
provision for payment has been made.
(c) At such time prior to the Closing Date as the parties mutually agree, the Target
Fund shall provide (i) instructions and related information to the Acquiring Fund or its
transfer agent with respect to the Target Fund Shareholders, including names, addresses,
dividend reinvestment elections and tax withholding status of the Target Fund Shareholders
as of the date agreed upon (such information to be updated as of the Closing Date, as
necessary) and (ii) the information and documentation maintained by the Target Fund or its
agents relating to the identification and verification of the Target Fund Shareholders under
the USA PATRIOT ACT and other applicable anti-money laundering laws, rules and regulations
and such other information as the Acquiring Fund may reasonably request. The Acquiring Fund
and its transfer agent shall have no obligation to inquire as to the validity, propriety or
correctness of any such instruction, information or documentation, but shall, in each case,
assume that such instruction, information or documentation is valid, proper, correct and
complete.
(d) The Target Entity shall direct each applicable transfer agent for a Target Fund
(the Target Transfer Agent) to deliver to the Acquiring Fund at the Closing a certificate
of an authorized officer stating that its records, as provided to the Acquiring Entity,
contain the names and addresses of the Target Fund Shareholders and the number of
outstanding shares of each class owned by each such shareholder immediately prior to the
Closing. The Acquiring Fund shall issue and deliver to the Secretary of the Target Fund a
confirmation evidencing the Acquiring Fund shares to be credited on the Closing Date, or
provide other evidence satisfactory to the Target Entity that such Acquiring Fund shares
have been credited to the Target Fund Shareholders accounts on the books of the Acquiring
Fund. At the Closing, each party shall deliver to the other such bills of sale, checks,
assignments, certificates, if any, receipts or other documents as such other party or its
counsel may reasonably request.
D-4
(e) In the event that on the Valuation Date or the Closing Date (a) the NYSE or another
primary trading market for portfolio securities of the Target Fund (each, an Exchange)
shall be closed to trading or trading thereupon shall be restricted, or (b) trading or the
reporting of trading on such Exchange or elsewhere shall be disrupted so that, in the
judgment of the Board of Trustees of the Acquiring Entity or the Target Entity or the
authorized officers of either of such entities, accurate appraisal of the value of the net
assets of the Acquiring Fund or the Target Fund, respectively, is impracticable, the Closing
Date shall be postponed until the first business day after the day when trading shall have
been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored.

Schedule 8.6
Tax Opinions
(i) The acquisition by the Acquiring Fund of substantially all of the assets of the Target Fund, as
provided for in the Agreement, in exchange for Acquiring Fund shares and the assumption by the
Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Target Fund, followed by the distribution by the
Target Fund to its shareholders of the Acquiring Fund shares in complete liquidation of the Target
Fund, will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code, and the
Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund each will be a party to the reorganization within the meaning
of Section 368(b) of the Code.
(ii) No gain or loss will be recognized by the Target Fund upon the transfer of substantially all
of its assets to, and assumption of its liabilities by, the Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for
Acquiring Fund shares pursuant to Section 361(a) and Section 357(a) of the Code.
(iii) No gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Fund upon the receipt by it of
substantially all of the assets of the Target Fund in exchange solely for the assumption of the
liabilities of the Target Fund and issuance of the Acquiring Fund shares pursuant to Section
1032(a) of the Code.
(iv) No gain or loss will be recognized by the Target Fund upon the distribution of the Acquiring
Fund shares by the Target Fund to its shareholders in complete liquidation (in pursuance of the
Agreement) pursuant to Section 361(c)(1) of the Code.
(v) The tax basis of the assets of the Target Fund received by the Acquiring Fund will be the same
as the tax basis of such assets in the hands of the Target Fund immediately prior to the transfer
pursuant to Section 362(b) of the Code.
(vi) The holding periods of the assets of the Target Fund in the hands of the Acquiring Fund will
include the periods during which such assets were held by the Target Fund pursuant to Section
1223(2) of the Code.
(vii) No gain or loss will be recognized by the shareholders of the Target Fund upon the exchange
of all of their Target Fund shares for the Acquiring Fund shares pursuant to Section 354(a) of the
Code.
(viii) The aggregate tax basis of the Acquiring Fund shares to be received by each shareholder of
the Target Fund will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of Target Fund shares exchanged
therefor pursuant to Section 358(a)(1) of the Code.
(ix) The holding period of Acquiring Fund shares received by a shareholder of the Target Fund will
include the holding period of the Target Fund shares exchanged therefor, provided that the
shareholder held Target Fund shares as a capital asset on the date of the exchange pursuant to
Section 1223(1) of the Code.
(x) For purposes of Section 381 of the Code, the Acquiring Fund will succeed to and take into
account, as of the date of the transfer as defined in Section 1.381(b)-1(b) of the income tax
regulations issued by the United States Department of the Treasury (the Income Tax Regulations),
the items of the Target Fund described in Section 381(c) of the Code, subject to the conditions and
limitations specified in Sections 381, 382, 383 and 384 of the Code and the Income Tax Regulations
thereunder.
The foregoing opinion may state that no opinion is expressed as to the effect of the Reorganization
on a Target Fund, Acquiring Fund or any Target Fund Shareholder with respect to any asset as to
which unrealized gain or loss is required to be recognized for federal income tax purposes at the
end of a taxable year (or on the termination or transfer thereof) under a mark-to-market system of
accounting.

(a)
|
|
Calculated using average shares outstanding.
|
|
(b)
|
|
Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting
purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and
returns for shareholder transactions. Does not include sales charges and is not annualized for
periods less than one year, if applicable.
|
|
(c)
|
|
Portfolio turnover is calculated at the fund level and is not annualized
for periods less than one year, if applicable.
|
|
(d)
|
|
Ratios are based on average daily net assets (000s) of $2,347,388,
$81,563, $87,201, $8,125, $12,806 and $11,516 for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y and
Class R5 shares, respectively.
|
|
(e)
|
|
Includes litigation proceeds received during the period. Had the
litigation proceeds not been received, net gains (losses) on securities (both realized and
unrealized) per share, for the year ended October 31, 2010, would have been $2.62, $2.29, $2.29,
$2.57, $2.62 and $2.98 for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R5 shares,
respectively, and total returns would have been lower; net gains (losses) on securities (both
realized and unrealized) per share, for the year ended October 31, 2009, would have been $0.61,
$0.52, $0.53, $0.60, $0.61 and $0.70 for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R5
shares, respectively, and total returns would have been lower.

Pro Forma Financial Information
Invesco Constellation Fund and Invesco Leisure Fund into
Invesco American Franchise Fund
The unaudited
pro forma
financial information set forth below is for informational purposes
only and does not purport to be indicative of the financial condition that actually would have
resulted if the reorganizations had been consummated. These
pro forma
numbers have been estimated
in good faith based on information regarding the Target Funds and the Acquiring Fund, each as
identified below, for the twelve month period ended August 31, 2012. The unaudited
pro forma
financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the
Target Funds and the Acquiring Fund, which are available in their respective annual and semi-annual
shareholder reports.
Narrative Description of the Pro Forma Effects of the Reorganizations
Note 1 Reorganizations
The unaudited pro forma information has been prepared to give effect to the proposed reorganization
of each of the Target Funds into the Acquiring Fund pursuant to an agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the Plan) as of the beginning of the period as indicated below in the table. No
reorganization is contingent upon any other reorganization.

Basis of Pro Forma
Each reorganization will be accounted for as a tax-free reorganization of investment companies;
therefore, no gain or loss will be recognized by a Fund or its shareholders as a result of the
reorganization. The Target Funds and the Acquiring Fund are both series of a registered open-end
management investment company that issues its shares in separate series. Each reorganization would
be accomplished by the acquisition of all of the assets and the assumption of all of the
liabilities by the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund and the distribution
of such shares to the Target Funds shareholders in complete liquidation of the Target Funds. The
table below shows the class and shares that the Target Funds shareholders would have received if
the reorganizations were to have taken place on August 31, 2012.

Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), the
historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the surviving entity, the
Acquiring Fund, and the results of operations of the Acquiring Fund for pre-reorganization periods
will not be restated. All securities held by the Target Funds comply with investment objectives,
strategies and restrictions of the Acquiring Fund at August 31, 2012.
Note 2 Net Assets

Pro Forma combined net assets and Target Fund net assets have been adjusted for expenses
expected to be incurred by the Target Funds in connection with the reorganizations.
Note 3 Pro Forma Adjustments
The table below reflects adjustments to expenses needed to the pro forma combined Fund as if the
reorganizations had taken place on September 1, 2011. The pro forma information has been derived
from the books and records used in calculating daily net asset values of the Target Funds and
Acquiring Fund and has been prepared in accordance with GAAP which requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect this information. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Under the terms of the investment advisory contract of the Acquiring Fund, the advisory fees
have been adjusted to reflect the advisory fee rates in effect for the Acquiring Fund based on
pro forma combined net assets. Correspondingly, advisory fee waivers have been adjusted to
reflect the contractual agreement by Invesco Advisers, Inc., the Acquiring Funds investment
adviser (the Adviser), to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses through at least
June 30, 2013 as part of the contractual expense limitation agreement of the Acquiring Fund.
The Adviser has contractually agreed through at least June 30, 2013, to waive advisory fees
and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating
expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R,
Class Y and Class R5 shares to 1.05%, 1.22% (after Rule 12b-1 fee waiver), 1.80%, 1.30%, 0.80%
and 0.80% of average daily net assets, respectively. In determining the Advisers obligation
to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into
account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed
the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4)
extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the
Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless
the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver
agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2013.

Target Funds and the Acquiring Fund.

Under the terms of the master distribution agreement of the Acquiring Fund, distribution
fees for Class B shares have been adjusted to reflect the contractual rates of the Acquiring
Fund.

Professional fees were reduced to eliminate the effects of duplicative fees for audit and

No significant accounting policies will change as a result of the reorganizations, specifically
policies regarding security valuation or compliance with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
Note 4 Security Valuation Policy
Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its
last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on
the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing
price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day.
Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by
independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an
independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued
at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed
options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which
they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent
source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset
value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close
of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade
on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end
and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last
sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the
exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using
an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by
the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may
reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities,
developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue,
coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt
securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities
involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar
amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations
are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will
be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end
before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the
time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on
the NYSE, events occur that are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may
fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the
security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by
the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based
on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty,
based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign
security trade is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities
meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will
be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple
factors may be considered by
5
the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may
include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and
foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate
changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic
upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the
potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be
valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to
value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt
obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable
are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trusts
officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events,
market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be
reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a securitys fair value.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective
earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuers assets, general economic conditions, interest
rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of
valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the
value received upon actual sale of those investments.
Note 5 Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under
current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation
methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active
market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs
(Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the
valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes
in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investments assigned level:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 1
|
|
Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical
assets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 2
|
|
Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs.
Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a
security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates,
prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount
rates, volatilities and others.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 3
|
|
Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In
situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when
there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period),
unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds own
assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value
of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.
|
6
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2012. The
level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity
associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation,
the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon
actual sale of those investments.

services
fees, printing costs and mailing charges related to the proposed reorganizations. The Adviser
will bear all
costs not borne by the Funds.
Note 7 Accounting Survivor

management team, portfolio composition strategies, investment objective, expense structure, and
policies/restrictions of the Acquiring Fund.
Note 8 Capital Loss Carryforward
The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code
necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the
Funds taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income
taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to
shareholders.
At October 31, 2012, Invesco Constellation Fund had a capital loss carryforward of
approximately $959,704,076. At April 30, 2012, Invesco Leisure Fund did not have a capital loss
carryforward. At August 31, 2012, the Acquiring Fund had a capital loss carryforward of
approximately $397,812,877. For additional information regarding capital loss limitations, please
see the section entitled Federal Income Tax Consequences in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus filed on
Form N-14 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

hereunder on the part of Invesco or any of its officers,
directors or employees, that Invesco shall not be subject to
liability to the Registrant or to any series of the Registrant,
or to any shareholder of any series of the Registrant for any act
or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the

Section 10 of the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for
Mutual Funds (the Sub-Advisory Contract) between Invesco
Advisers, Inc., on behalf of Registrant, and each of Invesco
Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Ltd.,
Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia
Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured
Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (each a Sub-Adviser,
collectively the Sub-Advisers) provides that the Sub-Adviser
shall not be liable for any costs or liabilities arising from any
error of judgment or mistake of law or any loss, suffered by any
series of the Registrant or the Registrant in connection with the
matters to which the Sub-Advisory Contract relates except a loss
resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence
on the part of the Sub-Adviser in the performance by the
Sub-Adviser of its duties or from reckless disregard by the
Sub-Adviser of its obligations and duties under the Sub-Advisory
Contract.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the Act) may be permitted to trustees,
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 trustee, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, 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 will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
