Stull, Stull & Brody Announces Class Action Against American International Group, Inc. on Behalf of Purchasers of Scudder Mutual Funds

Market Wire, April, 2006

Notice is hereby given that a class action lawsuit was filed on April 7, 2006 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York against American International Group, Inc. and certain of its affiliates, on behalf of those who purchased Scudder mutual funds from the AIG Advisor Group (as defined below) during the period between June 30, 2000 and June 8, 2005, inclusive (the "Class Period").

During the Class Period, the AIG Advisor Group consisted of the following broker-dealers: Royal Alliance, Inc., SunAmerica Securities, Inc., FSC Securities Corp., Sentra Securities Corporation, Spelman & Co., Inc., and Advantage Capital Corp.

If you purchased Scudder mutual funds or any funds participating in the AIG Advisor Group revenue sharing programs ("Shelf-Space Funds," as defined below) through an AIG Advisor Group broker-dealer between June 30, 2000 and June 8, 2005, inclusive, and sustained damages, you may, no later than June 6, 2006, file a motion with the Court requesting to be appointed as lead plaintiff. A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member's claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member is most capable of adequately representing the interests of the other class members. Under certain circumstances, more than one class member may serve as "lead plaintiff." Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. You may retain Stull, Stull & Brody, or other counsel of your choice, to serve as your counsel in this action. Stull, Stull & Brody has litigated many class actions for violations of securities laws in federal courts over the past 30 years and has obtained court approval of substantial settlements on numerous occasions. Stull, Stull & Brody maintains offices in both New York and Los Angeles.
