We report on low-resolution spectroscopy of GX339-4 during its current,extended X-ray `off' state in May 2000 (r=20.1) obtained with the VLT FocalReducer/low dispersion Spectrograph (FORS1). Although we do not positivelydetect the secondary star in GX339-4 we place an upper limit of 30 percent onthe contribution of a ``normal'' K-type secondary star spectrum to the observedflux. Using this limit for the observed magnitude of the secondary star, wefind a lower limit for the distance of GX339-4 to be 5.6 kpc.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, AA letter
