    Fidelity Investments To Close Growth Company And Mid-Cap Stock Funds To New Accounts

    BOSTON, April 13, 2006 - Fidelity Investments today announced that it is closing Fidelity Growth Company Fund and Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund to new accounts. As of the close of business on April 28, 2006, new purchases in these funds will be limited to existing shareholders.

    Fidelity Growth Company Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in the common stocks of companies that Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) believes have above-average growth potential. Steven Wymer has managed the fund since 1997. Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund seeks long-term growth of capital and normally invests at least 80 percent of assets in securities of companies with medium market capitalizations (those companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the Russell MidCap Index or the S&P MidCap 400). Shep Perkins has managed the fund since January 2005.

    "Both of these funds have seen accelerating investor cash flows in recent months, and we believe that it's in the best interests of shareholders to close them at this time," said Bruce T. Herring, chief investment officer overseeing the growth, value, small-cap and mid-cap groups for Fidelity Management & Research Company. "While Mid-Cap Stock Fund obviously focuses on mid caps, Steve historically has overweighted mid caps in Growth Company relative to the fund's benchmark index.

    "The mid-cap asset class has turned in very strong relative performance - particularly over the past year - and investors have taken note. Both funds' net flows and asset growth have reflected those trends. We believe that closing these funds will help them achieve more stable cash flows and provide Shep and Steve with the best opportunity to maintain their performance track records."

    Fidelity will open new accounts in Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund and Fidelity Growth Company Fund until 4:00 p.m. EST on April 28, 2006. After that, investors generally will not be able to open new accounts in the funds. However, existing shareholders who are invested in the funds will continue to be able to add to their accounts. Employer-sponsored retirement plans and certain discretionary programs offered by registered investment advisors may be able to open additional accounts for investors if the funds were established as an option as of April 28, 2006. However, after April 28, 2006, Fidelity will no longer accept new investors into the funds, and retirement plan sponsors and investment advisors who have not established the funds as an investment option by April 28, 2006, will no longer be able to do so.
