VGM Invesco Trust for Investment Grade Municipals

The Van Kampen Municipal Closed-End Funds (“Funds”) listed below hereby announce the dates for the partial redemptions of their respective preferred shares. The announced partial redemptions total approximately $99 million of the total outstanding preferred shares issued by the Funds.

This is the third redemption announcement since the August 18, 2008 press release in which Van Kampen provided information regarding additional refinancing of a portion of the Funds’ preferred shares with the use of tender option bonds (TOBs). In light of the continued failed auctions, each Fund’s Board of Trustees approved the use of TOBs as a replacement source of leverage. In the previous announcements dated May 1, 2009 and June 9, 2009, Van Kampen announced the redemption of approximately $120 million and $24 million, respectively, of the total outstanding preferred shares issued by the Funds.

The amount of preferred shares being redeemed at this time equates to approximately 5 percent of the original shares issued for each Fund. This partial redemption affects seven of the Firms’ closed-end municipal funds.

With respect to this partial redemption, The Depository Trust Company (DTC), the securities’ holder of record, will determine how the partial series redemptions will be allocated among each participant broker-dealer account. Each participant broker-dealer, as nominee for underlying beneficial owners (street name shareholders), in turn will determine how redeemed shares are to be allocated among its underlying beneficial owners. The procedures used by various broker-dealers to allocate redeemed shares among beneficial owners may differ from each other as well as from the procedures used by DTC.
