EVERGREEN VARIABLE ANNUITY TRUST<br />

Evergreen VA Balanced: seeks capital growth and current income. The Portfolio invests<br />

in a portfolio of equity and debt securities chosen for the potential for current income and<br />

capital growth. The proportion of the Fund’s assets invested in fixed income and equity<br />

securities will change based on the portfolio manager’s assessment of economic<br />

conditions and investment opportunities. The Portfolio normally invests at least 25% of its<br />

assets in fixed income securities. The equity portion of the Portfolio may include<br />

principally common and preferred stocks of U.S. companies across a broad range of<br />

market capitalizations, but will generally maintain a dollar-weighted average market<br />

capitalization within the market capitalization range tracked by the Russell 1000 Index.<br />

The Portfolio’s manager will seek out companies that she believes have strong<br />

fundamental attributes and growth prospects with valuations that leave ample room for<br />

capital appreciation. The Portfolio’s fixed income investments may include U.S.<br />

government securities, corporate bonds, convertible bonds, mortgage-backed securities,<br />

asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and other income<br />

producing securities. The Portfolio may invest without limit in securities rated below<br />

investment grade (or unrated securities determined by the portfolio manager to be of<br />

comparable quality). The Fund may, but will not necessarily, use a variety of derivative<br />

instruments, such as structured notes, futures and options, and swaps agreements, as an<br />

alternative to investments directly in income-producing securities or to manage risk. The<br />

Portfolio may also, but will not necessarily, enter into foreign currency exchange contracts<br />

to hedge against adverse changes in currency exchange rates related to non-US dollar<br />

denominated holdings. The Portfolio can invest up to 25% of its assets in foreign equity<br />

and fixed income securities.<br />

Evergreen VA Fundamental Large Cap: seeks capital growth with the potential for<br />

current income. The Portfolio invests, under normal conditions, at least 80% of its assets<br />

in common stocks of large U.S. companies (i.e., companies whose market capitalizations<br />

fall within the market capitalization range of the companies tracked by the Russell 1000 ®<br />

Index, measured at the time of purchase). The Portfolio earns current income from<br />

dividends paid on equity securities and may seek additional income primarily by investing<br />

up to 20% of its assets in convertible bonds, including below investment grade bonds, and<br />

convertible preferred stocks of any quality. The Portfolio may invest up to 20% of its<br />

assets in foreign securities. The Portfolio’s stock selection is based on a diversified style<br />

of equity management that allows the Portfolio to invest in both value- and growthoriented<br />

equity securities. “Value” securities are securities which the Portfolio’s manager<br />

believes are currently undervalued in the marketplace. “Growth” stocks are stocks of<br />

companies which the Portfolio’s manager believes have anticipated earnings ranging from<br />

steady to accelerated growth. The Portfolio’s manager utilizes an intrinsic value approach<br />

to look for companies that he believes are temporarily undervalued in the marketplace, sell<br />

at a discount to their private market values and display certain characteristics such as<br />

earning a high return on premium to cost of capital or a sustainable competitive advantage<br />

in their industry.<br />

Evergreen VA Growth: seeks long-term capital growth. The Portfolio invests at least<br />

75% of its assets in common stocks of small- and medium-sized companies (i.e.,<br />

companies whose market capitalizations fall within the market capitalization range of the<br />

companies tracked by the Russell 2000 ® Growth Index, measured at the time of purchase).<br />

The remaining portion of the Portfolio’s assets may be invested in companies of any size.<br />

The Portfolio’s managers employ a growth-style of equity management and will generally<br />

seek to purchase stocks of companies that have demonstrated earnings growth potential<br />

which they believe is not yet reflected in the stock’s market price. The Portfolio’s<br />

managers consider potential earnings growth above the average earnings growth of<br />

companies included in the Russell 2000 ® Growth Index as a key factor in selecting<br />

investments.<br />
