We prove the following: Assume that , where p is an odd positive integer, g(ζ is a transcendental entire function with order of growth less than 1, and set A(z) = B(ezz). Then for every solution , the exponent of convergence of the zero-sequence is infinite, and, in fact, the stronger conclusion holds. We also give an example to show that if the order of growth of g(ζ) equals 1 (or, in fact, equals an arbitrary positive integer), this conclusion doesn't hold.
