Portfolio Management Discussion  |  4/30/24
In the following interview, John (Jake) Crosby van Roden III* and Prakash Vadlamani* discuss the factors that affected the performance of the Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. during the 12-month period ended April 30, 2024. Mr. van Roden, Managing Director and Director of Municipals and a portfolio manager at Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. (“Amundi US”), and Mr. Vadlamani, Senior Vice President, Senior Credit Analyst and associate portfolio manager at Amundi US, are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund.
Q How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended April 30, 2024?
A Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. returned -0.02% at net asset value (NAV) and 0.95% at market price during the 12-month period ended April 30, 2024. During the same 12-month period, the Fund’s benchmarks, the Bloomberg US Municipal High Yield Bond Index and the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, returned 6.63% and 2.08% at NAV, respectively. The Bloomberg US Municipal High Yield Bond Index is an unmanaged measure of the performance of lower rated municipal bonds, while the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged measure of the performance of investment-grade municipal bonds. Unlike the Fund, the two indices do not use leverage. While the use of leverage increases investment opportunity, it also increases investment risk.
  During the same 12-month period, the average return at NAV of the 24 closed end funds in Morningstar’s Closed End High Yield Municipal category (which may or may not be leveraged) was -0.62%, and the average return at market price of the closed-end funds within the same Morningstar category was 0.96%.
  The shares of the Fund were selling at a 12.83% discount to NAV on April 30, 2024. Comparatively, the shares of the Fund were selling at a 13.67% discount to NAV on April 30, 2023. On
* Mr. van Roden and Mr. Vadlamani became portfolio managers of the Fund effective February 28, 2024.

  April 30, 2024, the standardized 30-day SEC yield of the Fund’s shares was 2.93%**.
Q Which of your investment strategies or individual portfolio holdings contributed positively to performance during the 12-month period ended April 30, 2024?
A In sector terms, the portfolio’s positioning in the education, Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) and housing sectors contributed positively to the Fund’s relative returns during the 12-month period.
  Individual holdings of Puerto Rico municipal securities, specifically general obligation debt contributed positively to the Fund’s benchmark-relative returns as strong investor demand drove spreads tighter. Additionally, the water and sewer sectors also, contributed positively to the Fund’s benchmark-relative returns.
  The reduction in the Fund’s total managed assets financed by leverage in February 2024 helped relative returns, as the income component of the Fund’s total return improved. In addition, the Fund was able to divest lower yielding securities during the deleveraging process.
Q Which investment strategies or individual portfolio holdings detracted from the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance results during the 12-month period ended April 30, 2024?
A Interest expense relating to the Fund’s employment of leverage detracted from the Fund’s benchmark relative returns during the first ten months of the 12-month period, due to a significant increase in short term interest rates. The interest expense on the leverage exceeded the aggregate yield of the Fund’s portfolio during that period. Subsequently, the Fund reduced the amount of its total managed assets financed by leverage, which had a positive impact on net portfolio income.
** The 30-day SEC yield is a standardized formula that is based on the hypothetical annualized earning power (investment income only) of the Fund’s portfolio securities during the period indicated.

  On a security selection basis, overweight allocations to Tobacco MSA bonds issued in New York and Ohio detracted from the Fund’s relative performance during the 12-month period.
  During the 12-month period, we made the decision to divest from a rural California municipal bond. This bond was under-performing as it failed to meet bond covenant requirements, resulting in distressed pricing and adversely affecting the Fund’s benchmark-relative return.
Q Did the Fund’s distributions*** to stockholders change during the 12-month period ended April 30, 2024?
A Yes, the Fund’s monthly distribution rate changed a few times during the period. There was a decrease from $0.0375 cents per share/per month to $0.0325 cents per share/per month, announced on May 15, 2023 and paid on May 31, 2023. There was a second decrease from $0.0325 cents per share/per month to $0.0275 cents per share/per month, announced on August 17, 2023 and paid on August 31, 2023. The monthly distribution rate then remained unchanged, at $0.0275 per share/per month through February 2024. There was an increase from $0.0275 cents per share/per month to $0.0350 cents per share/per month, announced on March 14, 2024 and paid on March 28, 2024. The Fund’s distributions during the reporting period included returns of capital totaling $0.01 per share. The decrease in the Fund’s distribution rate was due to an increase in the cost of leverage incurred by the Fund, which reduced the amount of funds available for distribution.
Q How did the level of leverage in the Fund change during the 12-month period ended April 30, 2024?
A On April 30, 2024, 18.4% of the Fund’s total managed assets were financed by leverage obtained through the issuance of Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares, compared with 35.8% of the Fund’s total managed assets financed by leverage at the start of the period on May 1, 2023. During the 12-month period, the Fund decreased the amount of leverage by a total of $79 million, to $50 million as of April 30, 2024. The reduction in the amount of the Fund’s leverage during the period was due to increased

  borrowing costs and a decrease in the value of the Fund's total assets. The interest rate on the Fund's leverage increased by 108 basis points from April 30, 2023 to April 30, 2024.
Q Did the Fund have any exposure to derivatives during the 12-month period ended April 30, 2024?
A Yes, we invested the Fund’s portfolio in interest rate futures contracts during the period, which were used to manage the duration during the Fund’s deleveraging.
Q What is your investment outlook, and how is the Fund positioned heading into its new fiscal year?
A We have continued to prefer investments in hospital-related issues, since the sector has historically had very low default rates. The revenue received by hospitals has remained diverse, coming from a combination of Medicare, Medicaid, private insurers, and self-payors. The Fund is also overweight to Tobacco MSA bonds, due in part to the fact that the sector has experienced a below market rate of default compared to other municipal sectors. Tobacco bond revenues have provided substantial funding for the advancement of public health and other similar programs to state and local governments that signed the tobacco MSA.
  In addition, the Fund is slightly underweight relative to the benchmark to bonds issued by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The Fund is underweight select sectors within the Puerto Rico tax-exempt market based on current valuation levels and the potential for elevated volatility. Sales tax collections are up 5.2% year-over-year for the Commonwealth. The increased revenue has supported fundamentals and has been driving spreads tighter for the issuer.
  The Fund is also underweight to state general obligation issues, which have tended to be sensitive to political considerations, as certain state governments may have lower flexibility to raise taxes due to constituents’ preferences, thus limiting their ability to increase revenues.
  We anticipate that the shifting interest-rate outlook will continue to impact near-term market performance, given the data

  dependent nature of US Federal Reserve System (Fed) policy. However, slowing consumer spending and decelerating activity in the housing market may indicate that the Fed is moving closer to the point at which it can conclude its monetary tightening cycle. If this turns out to be the case, we believe investors may turn their attention to the positive fundamental traits of the high yield municipal market, including its current low default rate and the continued decline in new-issue supply. We are also encouraged by the opportunities afforded by the compelling yields in the investment-grade municipal bond space.
  As is usually the case, headline news events have had a minimal effect on our day-to-day approach to managing the portfolio. Our goal is to invest the Fund in what we believe are fundamentally sound credits representing relative value opportunities, while maintaining an appropriate level of risk management. We also seek to avoid experiencing defaults in the Fund through our emphasis on fundamental research. We believe this steady, long term approach remains the most effective way to identify opportunities and to help minimize the risk associated with investing in the high-yield municipal market.

Please refer to the Schedule of Investments on pages 15  - 23  for a full listing of Fund securities.
All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. In the past several years, financial markets have experienced increased volatility and heightened uncertainty. The market prices of securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political, or regulatory conditions, recessions, inflation, changes in interest or currency rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, armed conflict including Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, market disruptions caused by tariffs, trade disputes or other government actions, or adverse investor sentiment. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread.
Investments in high-yield or lower-rated securities are subject to greater-than-average risk.
The Fund may invest in securities of issuers that are in default or that are in bankruptcy.
A portion of income may be subject to state, federal, and/or alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, are subject to a capital gains tax.
When interest rates rise, the prices of debt securities held by the Fund will generally fall. Conversely, when interest rates fall the prices of debt securities held by the Fund generally will rise. A general rise in interest rates could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed income securities.
The value of municipal securities can be adversely affected by changes in financial condition of municipal issuers, lower revenues, and regulatory and political developments. By concentrating in municipal securities, the Fund is more susceptible to adverse economic, political or regulatory developments than is a portfolio that invests more broadly.
Investments in the Fund are subject to possible loss due to the financial failure of the issuers of the underlying securities and the issuers’ inability to meet their debt obligations.
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in illiquid securities. Illiquid securities may be difficult to dispose of at a price reflective of their value at the times when the Fund believes it is desirable to do so, and the market price of illiquid securities is generally more volatile than that of more liquid securities. Illiquid securities are also more difficult to value and investment of the Fund’s assets in illiquid securities may restrict the Fund’s ability to take advantage of market opportunities.
7Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/24


The Fund currently uses leverage through the issuance of preferred shares. Leverage creates significant risks, including the risk that the Fund’s incremental income or capital appreciation for investments purchased with the proceeds of leverage will not be sufficient to cover the cost of the leverage, which may adversely affect the return for the holders of common shares.
The Fund is required to maintain certain regulatory, rating agency and other asset coverage requirements in connection with its outstanding preferred shares. In order to maintain required asset coverage levels, the Fund may be required to alter the composition of its investment portfolio or take other actions, such as redeeming preferred shares with the proceeds from portfolio transactions, at what might be inopportune times in the market. Such actions could reduce the net earnings or returns to holders of the Fund’s common shares over time, which is likely to result in a decrease in the market value of the Fund’s shares.
These risks may increase share price volatility.
Any information in this stockholder report regarding market or economic trends or the factors influencing the Fund’s historical or future performance are statements of opinion as of the date of this report. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Call 1-800-710-0935 or visit www.amundi.com/us for the most recent month-end performance results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
Performance data shown represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and market price will fluctuate, and your shares may trade below NAV due to such factors as interest rate changes and the perceived credit quality of borrowers.
Total investment return does not reflect broker sales charges or commissions. All performance is for common shares of the Fund.
Shares of closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one-time public offering and, once issued, shares of closed-end funds are bought and sold in the open market through a stock exchange and frequently trade at prices lower than their NAV. NAV per common share is total assets less total liabilities, which include preferred shares or borrowings, as applicable, divided by the number of common shares outstanding.
When NAV is lower than market price, dividends are assumed to be reinvested at the greater of NAV or 95% of the market price. When NAV is higher, dividends are assumed to be reinvested at prices obtained through open-market purchases under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan.
The performance table and graph do not reflect the deduction of fees and taxes that a stockholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Had these fees and taxes been reflected, performance would have been lower.
The Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged, broad measure of the municipal bond market. The Bloomberg U.S. Municipal High Yield Bond Index is unmanaged, totals over $26 billion in market value and maintains over 1,300 securities. Municipal bonds in this index have the following requirements: maturities of one year or greater, sub investment grade (below Baa or non-rated), fixed coupon rate, issued after 12/31/90, deal size over $20 million,

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) is organized as a Maryland corporation. Prior to April 21, 2021, the Fund was organized as a Delaware statutory trust. On April 21, 2021, the Fund redomiciled to a Maryland corporation through a statutory merger of the predecessor Delaware statutory trust with and into a newly-established Maryland corporation formed for the purpose of effecting the redomiciling. The Fund was originally organized on March 13, 2003. Prior to commencing operations on July 21, 2003, the Fund had no operations other than matters relating to its organization and registration as a diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The investment objective of the Fund is to seek a high level of current income exempt from regular federal income tax, and the Fund may, as a secondary objective, also seek capital appreciation to the extent that it is consistent with its primary investment objective.
Amundi Asset Management US, Inc., an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Amundi and Amundi’s wholly owned subsidiary, Amundi USA, Inc., serves as the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”).
The Fund is required to comply with Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which governs the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Rule 18f-4 permits funds to enter into derivatives transactions (as defined in Rule 18f-4) and certain other transactions notwithstanding the restrictions on the issuance of “senior securities” under Section 18 of the 1940 Act. Rule 18f-4 requires a fund to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program, appoint a derivatives risk manager and comply with a relative or absolute limit on fund leverage risk calculated based on value-at-risk (“VaR”), unless the fund uses derivatives in only a limited manner (a "limited derivatives user"). The Fund is currently a limited derivatives user for purposes of Rule 18f-4. 
The Fund is an investment company and follows investment company accounting and reporting guidance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). U.S. GAAP requires the management of the Fund to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income, expenses and gain or loss on investments during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/2430


Table of Contents
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements:
A. Security Valuation
  The net asset value of the Fund is computed once daily, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE.
  Fixed income securities are valued by using prices supplied by independent pricing services, which consider such factors as market prices, market events, quotations from one or more brokers, Treasury spreads, yields, maturities and ratings, or may use a pricing matrix or other fair value methods or techniques to provide an estimated value of the security or instrument. A pricing matrix is a means of valuing a debt security on the basis of current market prices for other debt securities, historical trading patterns in the market for fixed income securities and/or other factors. Non-U.S. debt securities that are listed on an exchange will be valued at the bid price obtained from an independent third party pricing service. When independent third party pricing services are unable to supply prices, or when prices or market quotations are considered to be unreliable, the value of that security may be determined using quotations from one or more broker-dealers.
  Futures contracts are generally valued at the closing settlement price established by the exchange on which they are traded.
  Securities for which independent pricing services or broker-dealers are unable to supply prices or for which market prices and/or quotations are not readily available or are considered to be unreliable are valued by a fair valuation team comprised of certain personnel of the Adviser. The Adviser is designated as the valuation designee for the Fund pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Adviser’s fair valuation team is responsible for monitoring developments that may impact fair valued securities.
  Inputs used when applying fair value methods to value a security may include credit ratings, the financial condition of the company, current market conditions and comparable securities. The Adviser may use fair value methods if it is determined that a significant event has occurred after the close of the exchange or market on which the security trades and prior to the determination of the Fund’s net asset value. Examples of a significant event might include political or economic news, corporate restructurings, natural disasters, terrorist activity or trading

Table of Contents
  halts. Thus, the valuation of the Fund’s securities may differ significantly from exchange prices, and such differences could be material. 
B. Investment Income and Transactions
  Interest income, including interest on income-bearing cash accounts, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend and interest income are reported net of unrecoverable foreign taxes withheld at the applicable country rates and net of income accrued on defaulted securities.
  Discounts and premiums on purchase prices of debt securities are accreted or amortized, respectively, daily, into interest income on an effective yield to maturity basis with a corresponding increase or decrease in the cost basis of the security. Premiums and discounts related to certain mortgage-backed securities are amortized or accreted in proportion to the monthly paydowns.
  Interest and dividend income payable by delivery of additional shares is reclassified as PIK (payment-in-kind) income upon receipt and is included in interest and dividend income, respectively.
  Security transactions are recorded as of trade date. Gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the identified cost method for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes.
  During the year ended April 30, 2024, the Fund realized a loss of $223,759 due to an operational error. The Adviser voluntarily reimbursed the Fund for this loss, which is reflected on the Statement of Operations as Reimbursement by the Adviser.
C. Federal Income Taxes
  It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net taxable income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its stockholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. As of April 30, 2024, the Fund did not accrue any interest or penalties with respect to uncertain tax positions, which, if applicable, would be recorded as an income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. Tax returns filed within the prior three years remain subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities.
  The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to stockholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Distributions in excess of net investment income or net realized gains are temporary over distributions
Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/2432


Table of Contents
  for financial statement purposes resulting from differences in the recognition or classification of income or distributions for financial statement and tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character, but are not adjusted for temporary differences.
  At April 30, 2024, the Fund was permitted to carry forward indefinitely $5,368,173 of short-term losses and $62,947,538 of long-term losses.
  The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended April 30, 2024 and April 30, 2023, was as follows:
  2024 2023
Distributions paid from:    
Tax-exempt income $13,790,979 $14,653,673
Ordinary income 413,153 239,797
Tax return of capital 282,917 1,482,217
Total $14,487,049 $16,375,687
The following shows the components of distributable earnings (losses) on a federal income tax basis at April 30, 2024:
  2024
Distributable earnings/(losses):  
Capital loss carryforward $(68,315,711)
Other book/tax temporary differences (796,997)
Net unrealized depreciation (8,362,226)
Total $(77,474,934)
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized depreciation is primarily attributable to the tax adjustments relating to wash sales, the book/tax differences in the accrual of income on securities in default, and discounts on fixed income securities.
D. Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan
  All stockholders whose shares are registered in their own names automatically participate in the Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), under which participants receive all dividends and capital gain distributions (collectively, dividends) in full and fractional shares of the Fund in lieu of cash. Stockholders may elect not to participate in the Plan. Stockholders not participating in the Plan receive all dividends and capital gain distributions in cash. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by notifying Equiniti Trust Company, the agent for stockholders in administering the Plan (the “Plan Agent”), in writing prior to any
33Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/24


Table of Contents
  dividend record date; otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution.
  If a stockholder’s shares are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, the stockholder can ask the firm or nominee to participate in the Plan on the stockholder’s behalf. If the firm or nominee does not offer the Plan, dividends will be paid in cash to the stockholder of record. A firm or nominee may reinvest a stockholder’s cash dividends in shares of the Fund on terms that differ from the terms of the Plan.
  Whenever the Fund declares a dividend on shares payable in cash, participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in shares acquired by the Plan Agent either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized shares from the Fund or (ii) by purchase of outstanding shares on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere. If, on the payment date for any dividend, the net asset value per share is equal to or less than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage trading fees (market premium), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued shares. The number of newly issued shares to be credited to each account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the net asset value per share on the date the shares are issued, provided that the maximum discount from the then current market price per share on the date of issuance does not exceed 5%. If, on the payment date for any dividend, the net asset value per share is greater than the market value (market discount), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired in open-market purchases. There are no brokerage charges with respect to newly issued shares. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage trading fees incurred with respect to the Plan Agent’s open-market purchases. Participating in the Plan does not relieve stockholders from any federal, state or local taxes which may be due on dividends paid in any taxable year. Stockholders holding Plan shares in a brokerage account may be able to transfer the shares to another broker and continue to participate in the Plan.
E. Risks
  The value of securities held by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political or regulatory conditions, recessions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, inflation, changes in interest rates, armed conflict such as between Russia and Ukraine or in the Middle East, sanctions against Russia,
Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/2434


Table of Contents
  other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. In the past several years, financial markets have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread. Inflation and interest rates have increased and may rise further. These circumstances could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments and negatively impact the Fund’s performance.
  The long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its subsequent variants on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced or may experience particularly large losses. Periods of extreme volatility in the financial markets, reduced liquidity of many instruments, increased government debt, inflation, and disruptions to supply chains, consumer demand and employee availability, may continue for some time. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian securities lost all, or nearly all, their market value. Other securities or markets could be similarly affected by past or future political, geopolitical or other events or conditions.
  Governments and central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. These actions have resulted in significant expansion of public debt, including in the U.S. The consequences of high public debt, including its future impact on the economy and securities markets, may not be known for some time.
  The U.S. and other countries are periodically involved in disputes over trade and other matters, which may result in tariffs, investment restrictions and adverse impacts on affected companies and securities. For example, the U.S. has imposed tariffs and other trade barriers on Chinese exports, has restricted sales of certain categories of goods to China, and has established barriers to investments in China. Trade disputes may adversely affect the economies of the U.S. and its trading partners, as well as companies directly or indirectly affected and financial markets generally. If the political climate between the U.S. and China does not improve or continues to deteriorate, if China were to attempt unification of Taiwan by force, or if other geopolitical conflicts develop or get worse, economies, markets and individual securities may be severely affected both regionally and globally, and the value of the Fund’s assets may go down.
35Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/24


Table of Contents
  At times, the Fund’s investments may represent industries or industry sectors that are interrelated or have common risks, making the Fund more susceptible to any economic, political, or regulatory developments or other risks affecting those industries and sectors.
  Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest substantially all of its assets in municipal securities. The municipal bond market can be susceptible to unusual volatility, particularly for lower-rated and unrated securities. Liquidity can be reduced unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. Municipal issuers may be adversely affected by rising health care costs, increasing unfunded pension liabilities, and by the phasing out of federal programs providing financial support. Unfavorable conditions and developments relating to projects financed with municipal securities can result in lower revenues to issuers of municipal securities, potentially resulting in defaults. Issuers often depend on revenues from these projects to make principal and interest payments. The value of municipal securities can also be adversely affected by changes in the financial condition of one or more individual municipal issuers or insurers of municipal issuers, regulatory and political developments, tax law changes or other legislative actions, and by uncertainties and public perceptions concerning these and other factors. Municipal securities may be more susceptible to down-grades or defaults during recessions or similar periods of economic stress. Financial difficulties of municipal issuers may continue or get worse, particularly in the event of economic or market turmoil or a recession. To the extent the Fund invests significantly in a single state (including California and Massachusetts), city, territory (including Puerto Rico), or region, or in securities the payments on which are dependent upon a single project or source of revenues, or that relate to a sector or industry, including health care facilities, education, transportation, special revenues and pollution control, the Fund will be more susceptible to associated risks and developments.
  The Fund invests in below investment grade (high yield) municipal securities. Debt securities rated below investment grade are commonly referred to as “junk bonds” and are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. These securities involve greater risk of loss, are subject to greater price volatility, and may be less liquid and more difficult to value, especially during periods of economic uncertainty or change, than higher rated debt securities.
  The market prices of the Fund’s fixed income securities may fluctuate significantly when interest rates change. The value of your investment will generally go down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to
Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/2436


Table of Contents
  have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. For example, if interest rates increase by 1%, the value of a Fund’s portfolio with a portfolio duration of ten years would be expected to decrease by 10%, all other things being equal. In recent years interest rates and credit spreads in the U.S. have been at historic lows. The U.S. Federal Reserve has raised certain interest rates, and interest rates may continue to go up. A general rise in interest rates could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed income securities. The maturity of a security may be significantly longer than its effective duration. A security’s maturity and other features may be more relevant than its effective duration in determining the security’s sensitivity to other factors affecting the issuer or markets generally, such as changes in credit quality or in the yield premium that the market may establish for certain types of securities (sometimes called “credit spread”). In general, the longer its maturity the more a security may be susceptible to these factors. When the credit spread for a fixed income security goes up, or “widens”, the value of the security will generally go down.
  If an issuer or guarantor of a security held by the Fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the Fund defaults on its obligation to pay principal and/or interest, has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment will typically decline. Changes in actual or perceived creditworthiness may occur quickly. The Fund could be delayed or hindered in its enforcement of rights against an issuer, guarantor or counterparty.
  With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet to conduct business, the Fund is susceptible to operational, information security and related risks. While the Fund’s Adviser has established business continuity plans in the event of, and risk management systems to prevent, limit or mitigate, such cyber-attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems, including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by service providers to the Fund such as the Fund’s custodian and accounting agent, and the Fund’s transfer agent. In addition, many beneficial owners of Fund shares hold them through accounts at broker-dealers, retirement platforms and other financial market participants over which neither the Fund nor the Adviser exercises control. Each of these may in turn rely on service providers to them, which are also subject to the risk of cyber-attacks. Cybersecurity failures or breaches at the Adviser or the Fund’s service providers or intermediaries have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in

Table of Contents
  financial losses, interference with the Fund’s ability to calculate its net asset value, impediments to trading, the inability of Fund stockholders to effect share purchases or sales or receive distributions, loss of or unauthorized access to private stockholder information and violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, or additional compliance costs. Such costs and losses may not be covered under any insurance. In addition, maintaining vigilance against cyber-attacks may involve substantial costs over time, and system enhancements may themselves be subject to cyber-attacks.
F. Statement of Cash Flows
  Information on financial transactions which have been settled through the receipt or disbursement of cash or restricted cash is presented in the Statement of Cash Flows. Cash as presented in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities includes cash on hand at the Fund’s custodian bank and does not include any short-term investments. As of and for the year ended April 30, 2024, the Fund had restricted cash in the form of futures collateral on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
G. Futures Contracts
  The Fund may enter into futures transactions in order to attempt to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices and currency exchange rates or to seek to increase total return. Futures contracts are types of derivatives.
  All futures contracts entered into by the Fund are traded on a futures exchange. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with a broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the associated futures exchange. The amount of cash deposited with the broker as collateral at April 30, 2024 is recorded as “Futures collateral” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
  Subsequent payments for futures contracts (“variation margin”) are paid or received by the Fund, depending on the daily fluctuation in the value of the contracts, and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Cash received from or paid to the broker related to previous margin movement is held in a segregated account at the broker and is recorded as either “Due from broker for futures” or “Due to broker for futures” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed, the Fund realizes a gain or loss equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract as well as any fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates where applicable. Futures contracts are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and currency
Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/2438


Table of Contents
  exchange rate risk. Changes in value of the contracts may not directly correlate to the changes in value of the underlying securities. With futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
  The average notional values of long position and short position futures contracts during the year ended April 30, 2024 were $2,070,918 and $0, respectively. Open futures contracts outstanding at April 30, 2024 are listed in the Schedule of Investments.
2. Management Agreement
The Adviser manages the Fund’s portfolio. Management fees payable under the Fund’s Investment Management Agreement with the Adviser are calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily managed assets. “Managed assets” means (a) the total assets of the Fund, including any form of investment leverage, minus (b) all accrued liabilities incurred in the normal course of operations, which shall not include any liabilities or obligations attributable to investment leverage obtained through (i) indebtedness of any type (including, without limitation, borrowing through a credit facility or the issuance of debt securities), (ii) the issuance of preferred stock or other similar preference securities, and/or (iii) any other means. For the year ended April 30, 2024, the management fee was 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily managed assets, which was equivalent to 0.90% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
In addition, under the management and administration agreements, certain other services and costs, including accounting, regulatory reporting and insurance premiums, are paid by the Fund as administrative reimbursements. Reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities is $22,264 in management fees payable to the Adviser at April 30, 2024.
3. Compensation of Officers and Directors
The Fund pays an annual fee to its Directors. The Adviser reimburses the Fund for fees paid to the Interested Directors. Except for the chief compliance officer, the Fund does not pay any salary or other compensation to its officers. The Fund pays a portion of the chief compliance officer’s compensation for his services as the Fund’s chief compliance officer. Amundi US pays the remaining portion of the chief compliance officer’s compensation. For the year ended April 30, 2024, the Fund paid $15,332 in Officers’ and Directors’ compensation, which is reflected on the Statement of Operations as Officers’ and Directors’ fees. At April 30, 2024, on its
39Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/24


Table of Contents
Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the Fund had a payable for Directors’ fees of $889 and a payable for administrative expenses of $24,055, which includes the payable for Officers’ compensation.
4. Transfer Agent
Equiniti Trust Company, LLC ("EQ"), formerly known as American Stock Transfer ∓ Trust Company, serves as the transfer agent with respect to the Fund’s common shares. The Fund pays EQ an annual fee as is agreed to from time to time by the Fund and EQ for providing such services.
In addition, the Fund reimbursed the transfer agent for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the transfer agent related to stockholder communications activities such as proxy and statement mailings and outgoing phone calls.
5. Additional Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Fund’s use of derivatives may enhance or mitigate the Fund’s exposure to the following risks:
Interest rate risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of interest-bearing securities due to changes in the prevailing levels of market interest rates.
Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer of a financial instrument to make further principal or interest payments on an obligation or commitment that it has to the Fund.
Foreign exchange rate risk relates to fluctuations in the value of an asset or liability due to changes in currency exchange rates.
Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange rate risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.
Commodity risk relates to the risk that the value of a commodity or commodity index will fluctuate based on increases or decreases in the commodities market and factors specific to a particular industry or commodity.

VMTP Shares are subject to optional and mandatory redemption in certain circumstances. The VMTP Shares may be redeemed at the option of the Fund, subject to payment of premium for approximately one year following the date of issuance (“Optional Redemption Date”), and at the redemption price per share thereafter. The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation preference per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends. The Fund may be obligated to redeem a certain amount of the VMTP Shares if it fails to maintain certain asset coverage and leverage ratio requirements and such failures are not cured by the applicable cure date. The Term Redemption Date for the Fund’s Series 2021 VMTP Shares was extended from August 2, 2024 to August 2, 2027 on March 1, 2024. Six months prior to Term Redemption Date, the Fund is required to segregate liquid assets with the Fund’s custodian in an amount equal to at least 110% of the term redemption amount.
VMTP Shares are subject to restrictions on transfer, generally do not trade, and market quotations are generally not available. VMTP Shares are short-term or short/intermediate-term instruments that pay a variable dividend rate tied to a short-term index, plus an additional fixed “spread” amount established at the time of issuance. For financial reporting purposes, the liquidation preference of VMTP Shares is a liability and is recognized as a component of “Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities since the shares have a stated mandatory redemption date.
Dividends on the VMTP Shares (which are treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes and are recorded as interest expense on the Statement of Operations) are declared daily, paid monthly and recorded as incurred. For the year ended April 30, 2024, interest expense on VMTP Shares amounted to $6,323,520. The dividend rate for the VMTP Shares is determined weekly. Unpaid dividends on VMTP Shares are recognized as “Interest Expense Payable” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For the year ended April 30, 2024, there was no interest expense payable on VMTP Shares. From May 1, 2023 through April 30, 2024, the Series 2021

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and the Stockholders of Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc.:

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”), including the schedule of investments, as of April 30, 2024, the related statements of operations, changes in net assets, cash flows and the financial highlights for the year then ended and the related notes. The statements of changes in net assets for the year ended April 30, 2023 and the financial highlights for the years ended April 30, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020 were audited by other auditors. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights in their report dated June 27, 2023. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of April 30, 2024 and the results of its operations, cash flows, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Additional Information (unaudited)
On March 25, 2024, Ernst ∓ Young LLP (the “Prior Auditor”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) due to the independence considerations resulting from a change of the independent registered public accounting firm of a related party. The Prior Auditor’s reports on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two fiscal years, the years ended April 30, 2023 and April 30, 2022, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the last two fiscal year-ends and the subsequent interim period through March 25, 2024, there were no (1) disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its reports on the Fund’s financial statements for such periods; or (2) “reportable events” related to the Fund,  as that term is defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
On March 25, 2024, the Audit Committee of the Board approved, and on March 25, 2024, the Board approved, Deloitte ∓ Touche LLP as the independent registered accounting firm of the Fund for fiscal periods ending after March 25, 2024.
Notice is hereby given in accordance with Section 23(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 that the Fund may purchase, from time to time, its shares in the open market.
The percentages of the Fund’s ordinary income distributions that are exempt from nonresident alien (NRA) tax withholding resulting from qualified interest income was 100.00%.
Anti-takeover provisions. The Fund’s Charter and Bylaws include provisions that are designed to limit the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of the Fund for short-term objectives, including by converting the Fund to open-end status or changing the composition of the Board, that may be detrimental to the Fund's ability to achieve its primary investment objective of seeking to provide its common stockholders with a high level of current income exempt from regular federal income tax. These provisions include staggered terms of service for the Directors, advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals, and super-majority voting requirements for certain transactions with affiliates, open-ending the Fund or a merger, liquidation, asset sale or similar transaction. The Fund’s
Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/2446


Table of Contents
Bylaws also contain a provision providing that the Board of Directors has adopted a resolution to opt in the Fund to the provisions of the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act (“MCSAA”). Such provisions may limit the ability of stockholders to sell their shares at a premium over prevailing market prices by discouraging a third party from seeking to obtain control of the Fund. There can be no assurance, however, that such provisions will be sufficient to deter activist investors that seek to cause the Fund to take actions that may not be aligned with the interests of long-term stockholders. Furthermore, the law is uncertain on the use of control share provisions. Certain courts have found that control share provisions are unenforceable under the 1940 Act. It is possible that a court could decide that the Fund’s decision to opt in to the MCSAA is not enforceable under the 1940 Act.
Exclusive forum provisions. The Fund’s Bylaws designate the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by the Fund’s stockholders and provide that claims relating to causes of action under the United States federal securities laws may only be brought in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Northern Division, which could limit stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with the Fund or its directors, officers or the Fund’s agents, if any, and could discourage lawsuits against the Fund and its directors, officers and agents, if any.
The Fund’s Bylaws provide that, unless the Fund consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Northern Division, will be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any Internal Corporate Claim, as such term is defined in the MGCL, (b) any derivative action or proceeding brought on the Fund’s behalf (other than actions arising under federal securities laws), (c) any action asserting a claim of breach of any duty owed by any of the Fund’s directors, officers or other agents to the Fund or to the Fund’s stockholders, (d) any action asserting a claim against the Fund or any of the Fund’s directors, officers or other agents arising pursuant to any provision of the MGCL or the Fund’s Charter or Bylaws or (e) any other action asserting a claim against the Fund or any of the Fund’s directors, officers or other agents that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Furthermore, the Fund’s Bylaws provide that, unless the Fund consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Northern Division shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any claim arising under the United States federal securities laws.

These exclusive forum provisions may limit the ability of the Fund’s stockholders to bring a claim in a judicial forum that such stockholders find favorable for disputes with the Fund or the Fund’s directors, officers, or agents, if any, which may discourage such lawsuits against the Fund and the Fund’s directors, officers, and agents, if any. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provisions contained in the Fund’s Bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, the Fund may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could materially adversely affect the Fund’s business, financial condition, and operating results.

Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Principal Risks (unaudited)
CHANGES OCCURRING DURING THE MOST RECENT FISCAL YEAR
During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, there were no material changes to the Fund’s investment objectives or policies that have not been approved by stockholders or in the principal risk factors associated with investment in the Fund.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
The Fund’s primary investment objective is to provide its common stockholders with a high level of current income exempt from regular federal income tax. Distributions of interest income from the Fund’s portfolio of municipal securities generally will be exempt from regular federal income tax. As a secondary investment objective, the Fund also may seek capital appreciation to the extent consistent with its primary objective. Distributions from sources other than interest income from the Fund’s portfolio of municipal securities, including capital gain distributions, are not exempt from regular federal income tax.
The Fund’s investment objectives and its policy with respect to investment in municipal securities are fundamental policies and may not be changed without the approval of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest substantially all (at least 80%) of its assets (net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes) in debt securities and other obligations issued by or on behalf of states, territories and possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, the interest on which is exempt from regular federal income tax (“municipal securities”). Municipal securities are often issued to obtain funds for various public purposes, including the construction of a wide range of public facilities such as bridges, highways, housing, hospitals, mass transportation, schools, streets and water and sewer works. Municipal securities include private activity bonds, pre-refunded municipal securities and auction rate securities. The municipal securities in which the Fund invests may have fixed or variable principal payments and all types of interest rate payments and reset terms, including fixed rate, adjustable rate, zero coupon, contingent, deferred, payment in kind and auction rate features.
49Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/24


Table of Contents
Although distributions of interest income from the Fund’s municipal securities generally are exempt from regular federal income tax, distributions from other sources, including capital gain distributions, are not. Up to 25% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in municipal securities the interest income on which is a preference item for purposes of the alternative minimum tax for individuals or entities that are subject to such tax. All interest on municipal securities may result in or increase a corporate stockholder’s liability for federal alternative minimum tax. Stockholders should consult a tax adviser about whether an alternative minimum tax applies to them and about state and local taxes on their distributions from the Fund.
The Fund may invest in municipal securities with a broad range of maturities and credit ratings, including both investment grade and below investment grade municipal securities. In managing the Fund’s portfolio, the Adviser adjusts the portfolio’s duration and overall credit quality in light of changing market and economic conditions. In making decisions with respect to specific municipal securities for the Fund’s portfolio, the Adviser employs a disciplined approach, driven primarily by proprietary research regarding prevailing interest rates, economic fundamentals at both the national and state levels and in-depth credit research conducted by the Adviser’s investment staff.
The Fund may invest in securities of issuers that are in default or that are in bankruptcy.
Security selection
The Adviser anticipates that the Fund’s investments in revenue obligations will emphasize municipal securities backed by revenue from essential services, such as hospitals and healthcare, power generation, transportation, education and housing. The Adviser considers both broad economic and issuer specific factors in selecting a portfolio designed to achieve the Fund’s investment objectives. In assessing the appropriate maturity, rating and sector weightings of the Fund’s portfolio, the Adviser considers a variety of factors that are expected to influence economic activity and interest rates. These factors include fundamental economic indicators such as the rates of economic growth and inflation, Federal Reserve monetary policy and the relative value of the U.S. dollar compared to other currencies. Once the Adviser determines the preferable portfolio characteristics, the Adviser selects individual securities based upon the terms of the securities (such as yields compared to U.S. Treasuries or comparable issues), liquidity and rating, sector and issuer diversification.
The Adviser attempts to identify investment grade and below investment grade municipal securities that are trading at attractive valuations relative
Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/2450


Table of Contents
to the Adviser’s evaluation of the issuer’s credit worthiness and, with respect to private activity bonds, the profit potential of the corporation from which the revenue supporting the bonds is derived. The Adviser’s overall investment approach is both top-down and bottom-up. The Adviser first seeks to identify the sectors or regions of the municipal bond market that present the best relative value opportunities, and then bases the Fund’s overall sector and regional weightings on that determination. Once the Adviser establishes the overall regional and sector weightings, the Adviser focuses on selecting those securities within each sector or region that meet its fundamental criteria. In determining sector weightings, the Fund’s portfolio management team also maintains frequent contact with the Adviser’s investment professionals who follow U.S. equities and those who focus on corporate fixed income investments. In many cases, the Adviser will augment its municipal bond credit research and security selection processes with equity research analysis. The Adviser has a fundamental bias towards long-term security selection, rather than engaging in frequent “market timing” or short-term trading. There can be no assurance that this process will be successful.
Duration management
The Adviser actively manages the duration of the Fund’s portfolio of municipal securities based primarily on the Adviser’s outlook for interest rates. The Adviser considers economic trends, Federal Reserve Board actions and capital markets activity, among other factors, in developing its outlook for interest rates. The Adviser believes that maintaining duration at an appropriate level offers the potential for above-average returns while limiting the risks of interest rate volatility. Duration seeks to measure the price sensitivity of a fixed income security to changes in interest rates. Unlike maturity, duration takes into account interest payments that occur throughout the course of holding the bond. The longer a portfolio’s duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. For example, if the Fund has a two year duration, then all other things being equal, the Fund will decrease in value by two percent if interest rates rise one percent. The Adviser modifies the average duration of the Fund’s portfolio in response to market conditions. The Adviser may employ certain strategies to reduce the Fund’s interest rate sensitivity, including investments in interest rate swap or cap transactions. There is no assurance that the Adviser will do so or that such strategies will be successful.
Credit management
The Fund may invest in municipal securities with a broad range of credit ratings, including both investment grade and below investment grade municipal securities. At least 40% of the Fund’s portfolio of municipal
51Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/24


Table of Contents
securities will be rated investment grade at the time of acquisition (that is, at least Baa by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or BBB by Standard ∓ Poor’s Ratings Group (“S∓P”) or, if unrated, determined by the Adviser to be of comparable credit quality. The Fund may consider its investment in one or more other funds, including ETFs, for purposes of satisfying this policy if such other fund invests substantially all of its assets in investment grade municipal securities.  No more than 60% of the Fund’s portfolio of municipal securities will be rated below investment grade at the time of acquisition (that is, Ba or lower by Moody’s or BB or lower by S∓P or, if unrated, determined by the Adviser to be of comparable credit quality). Municipal securities of below investment grade quality are regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal, and are commonly referred to as “junk bonds” or “high yield securities.” They involve greater risk of loss, are subject to greater price volatility and are less liquid, especially during periods of economic uncertainty or change, than higher rated municipal securities. Municipal securities rated Ba or BB may face significant ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial or economic conditions that could lead to the issuer being unable to meet its financial commitments. The protection of interest and principal payments may be moderate and not well-safeguarded during both good and bad times. Municipal securities rated B generally lack the characteristics of a desirable investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or of maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be low, and such municipal securities are more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated BB. Adverse business, financial or economic conditions will likely impair the issuer’s capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitment on municipal securities. Municipal securities rated CCC, CC, C, Caa, Ca or C are generally speculative to a high degree. These municipal securities may be in default or there may be present elements of danger with respect to principal or interest. Generally, issuers are dependent upon favorable business, financial and economic conditions to meet their financial commitment on such municipal securities. The Fund may invest in high yield municipal securities of any rating, including securities that are in default at the time of purchase.
The Adviser determines the allocation of the Fund’s assets among securities with different credit ratings depending upon the Adviser’s evaluation of factors such as the spread between the yields on municipal securities of different ratings, changes in default rates, general economic conditions and the outlook for fiscal issues facing municipal issuers. Generally, as the spread between the yield on investment grade and non-investment grade securities widens, the Adviser will allocate a greater portion of the Fund’s assets to non-investment grade municipal securities.
Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/2452


Table of Contents
If the spread based on relative credit quality narrows, the Adviser may determine that high yield municipal securities no longer offer a sufficient risk premium and increase the average credit quality of the Fund’s portfolio. As the economy strengthens and the default risk lessens, the Adviser may increase the Fund’s investment in lower quality non-investment grade securities. The Adviser also seeks to mitigate the risks of investing in below investment grade securities through a disciplined approach, driven primarily by fundamental research to assess an issuer’s credit quality and the relative value of its securities. Moreover, with respect to below investment grade securities that are private activity bonds, the Adviser intends to emphasize securities that are backed by revenue from publicly traded companies. The Adviser believes that this focus offers the potential for an informational advantage due to the substantial reporting requirements of public companies. With respect to investments in below investment grade private activity bonds, the Adviser also seeks to leverage its corporate credit research capabilities by selecting securities for the Fund payable by revenue derived from issuers followed by its staff focusing on below investment grade corporate issuers. The Adviser believes that a prudent blend of investment grade and non-investment grade municipal securities offers investors the opportunity for high current yield while managing credit risk. High yield municipal securities have also shown low correlation to other asset classes, including corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities, providing potential diversification to an investment portfolio.
Portfolio Contents
Municipal securities. Municipal securities are often issued to obtain funds for various public purposes, including refunding outstanding obligations, funding for general operating expenses and lending to other public institutions and facilities. Municipal securities also include certain “private activity bonds” or industrial development bonds, which are issued by or on behalf of public authorities to provide financing aid to acquire sites or construct or equip facilities within a municipality for privately or publicly owned corporations. The two principal classifications of municipal securities are “general obligations” and “revenue obligations.” General obligations are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith and credit for the payment of principal and interest, although the characteristics and enforcement of general obligations may vary according to the law applicable to the particular issuer. Revenue obligations, which include, but are not limited to, private activity bonds, certificates of participation and certain municipal notes, are not backed by the credit and taxing authority of the issuer and are payable solely from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases, from the proceeds of a special

Table of Contents
excise or other specific revenue source. The obligations of the issuer of a revenue obligation may, in addition, be backed by a letter of credit from a bank, a guarantee from another issuer or insurance. The credit rating assigned to municipal securities may reflect the existence of these guarantees, letters of credit or other credit enhancement features. General obligations and revenue obligations may be issued in a variety of forms, including commercial paper, fixed, variable and floating rate securities, tender option bonds, auction rate bonds, zero coupon bonds, deferred interest bonds and capital appreciation bonds. In addition to general obligations and revenue obligations, there are a variety of hybrid and special types of municipal securities.
One or a small number of institutional investors such as the Fund may purchase an entire issue of municipal securities. Thus, the issue may not be said to be publicly offered. Unlike some securities that are not publicly offered, a secondary market exists for many municipal securities that were not publicly offered initially and such securities may be readily marketable.
Although distributions of interest income from the Fund’s municipal securities are generally exempt from regular federal income tax, distributions from other sources, including capital gain distributions, and any gains on the sale of your common shares are not. You should consult your tax adviser as to whether the alternative minimum tax applies to you and as to whether you will be subject to state and local taxes on your distributions from the Fund.
From time to time, proposals have been introduced before Congress for the purpose of restricting or eliminating the federal income tax exemption for interest on municipal securities. The Fund cannot predict what legislation, if any, may be proposed in the future in Congress regarding the federal income tax status of interest on municipal securities. Such proposals, if enacted, might materially and adversely affect the Fund.
The Fund may invest 25% or more of the value of its total assets in municipal securities of issuers located in the same state or territory or in the same economic sector. The Fund will not invest more than 25% of its total assets in issuers in a single industry. Governmental issuers of municipal securities are not considered part of any industry.
The Fund may invest in municipal securities that are collateralized by the proceeds from class action or other litigation against the tobacco industry. Payment by tobacco industry participants of such proceeds is spread over several years, and the collection and distribution of such proceeds to the issuers of municipal securities is dependent upon the financial health of such tobacco industry participants, which cannot be assured. Additional litigation, government regulation or prohibition on the sales of tobacco

Table of Contents
products, or the seeking of protection under the bankruptcy laws, could adversely affect the tobacco industry which, in turn, could have an adverse affect on tobacco-related municipal securities. Under normal market conditions, the Fund intends to limit its investment in tobacco settlement bonds to approximately 25% of the Fund’s total assets.
Municipal leases and certificates of participation. The Fund may invest in municipal leases and certificates of participation in such leases. A municipal lease is an obligation in the form of a lease or installment purchase that is issued by a state or local government to acquire equipment and facilities. Income from such obligations is generally exempt from state and local taxes in the state of issuance. Municipal leases frequently involve special risks not normally associated with general obligations or revenue obligations. Leases and installment purchase or conditional sale contracts (which normally provide for title to the leased asset to pass eventually to the governmental issuer) have evolved as a means for governmental issuers to acquire property and equipment without meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements for the issuance of debt. The debt issuance limitations are deemed to be inapplicable because of the inclusion in many leases or contracts of “non-appropriation” clauses that relieve the governmental issuer of any obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract unless money is appropriated for such purpose by the appropriate legislative body on a yearly or other periodic basis. In addition, such leases or contracts may be subject to the temporary abatement of payments in the event the issuer is prevented from maintaining occupancy of the leased premises or utilizing the leased equipment. Although the obligations may be secured by the leased equipment or facilities, the disposition of the property in the event of non-appropriation or foreclosure might prove difficult, time consuming and costly, and result in a delay in recovering or the failure fully to recover the Fund’s original investment. To the extent that the Fund invests in unrated municipal leases or participates in such leases, the credit quality and risk of cancellation of such unrated leases will be monitored on an ongoing basis.
A certificate of participation represents an undivided interest in an unmanaged pool of municipal leases, installment purchase agreements or other instruments. The certificates are typically issued by a municipal agency, a trust or other entity that has received an assignment of the payments to be made by the state or political subdivision under such leases or installment purchase agreements. Such certificates provide the Fund with the right to a pro rata undivided interest in the underlying municipal securities. In addition, such participations generally provide the Fund with the right to demand payment, on not more than seven days’ notice, of all
55Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/24


Table of Contents
or any part of the Fund’s participation interest in the underlying municipal securities, plus accrued interest.
Certain municipal lease obligations and certificates of participation may be deemed to be illiquid for the purpose of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Other municipal lease obligations and certificates of participation acquired by the Fund may be determined by the Adviser, pursuant to guidelines adopted by the Board of Directors, to be liquid securities for the purpose of such limitation. In determining the liquidity of municipal lease obligations and certificates of participation, the Adviser will consider a variety of factors, including: (i) the willingness of dealers to bid for the obligation; (ii) the number of dealers willing to purchase or sell the obligation and the number of other potential buyers; (iii) the frequency of trades or quotes for the obligation; and (iv) the nature of the marketplace trades. In addition, the Adviser will consider factors unique to particular lease obligations and certificates of participation affecting the marketability thereof. These include the general creditworthiness of the issuer, the importance to the issuer of the property covered by the lease and the likelihood that the marketability of the obligation will be maintained throughout the time the obligation is held by the Fund.
Municipal notes. Municipal securities in the form of notes generally are used to provide for short-term capital needs, in anticipation of an issuer’s receipt of other revenues or financing, and typically have maturities of up to three years. Such instruments may include tax anticipation notes, revenue anticipation notes, bond anticipation notes, tax and revenue anticipation notes and construction loan notes. Tax anticipation notes are issued to finance the working capital needs of governments. Generally, they are issued in anticipation of various tax revenues, such as income, sales, property, use and business taxes, and are payable from these specific future taxes. Revenue anticipation notes are issued in expectation of receipt of other kinds of revenue, such as federal revenues available under federal revenue sharing programs. Bond anticipation notes are issued to provide interim financing until long-term bond financing can be arranged. In most cases, the long-term bonds then provide the funds needed for repayment of the notes. Tax and revenue anticipation notes combine the funding sources of both tax anticipation notes and revenue anticipation notes. Construction loan notes are sold to provide construction financing. Mortgage notes insured by the Federal Housing Authority secure these notes; however, the proceeds from the insurance may be less than the economic equivalent of the payment of principal and interest on the mortgage note if there has been a default. The anticipated revenues from taxes, grants or bond financing generally secure the obligations of an issuer

Table of Contents
of municipal notes.  An investment in such instruments, however, presents a risk that the anticipated revenues will not be received or that such revenues will be insufficient to satisfy the issuer’s payment obligations under the notes or that refinancing will be otherwise unavailable.
Tax-exempt commercial paper. Issues of commercial paper typically represent short-term, unsecured, negotiable promissory notes. These obligations are issued by state and local governments and their agencies to finance the working capital needs of municipalities or to provide interim construction financing and are paid from general revenues of municipalities or are refinanced with long-term debt. In most cases, tax-exempt commercial paper is backed by letters of credit, lending agreements, note repurchase agreements or other credit facility agreements offered by banks or other institutions.
Pre-refunded municipal securities. The principal of and interest on pre-refunded municipal securities are no longer paid from the original revenue source for the securities. Instead, the source of such payments is typically an escrow fund consisting of U.S. government securities. The assets in the escrow fund are derived from the proceeds of refunding bonds issued by the same issuer as the pre-refunded municipal securities. Issuers of municipal securities use this advance refunding technique to obtain more favorable terms with respect to securities that are not yet subject to call or redemption by the issuer. For example, advance refunding enables an issuer to refinance debt at lower market interest rates, restructure debt to improve cash flow or eliminate restrictive covenants in the indenture or other governing instrument for the pre-refunded municipal securities. However, except for a change in the revenue source from which principal and interest payments are made, the pre-refunded municipal securities remain outstanding on their original terms until they mature or are redeemed by the issuer.
Private activity bonds. Private activity bonds, formerly referred to as industrial development bonds, are issued by or on behalf of public authorities to obtain funds to provide privately operated housing facilities, airport, mass transit or port facilities, sewage disposal, solid waste disposal or hazardous waste treatment or disposal facilities and certain local facilities for water supply, gas or electricity. Other types of private activity bonds, the proceeds of which are used for the construction, equipment, repair or improvement of privately operated industrial or commercial facilities, may constitute municipal securities, although the current federal tax laws place substantial limitations on the size of such issues. The Fund’s distributions of its interest income from private activity bonds may subject certain investors to the federal alternative minimum tax.

Tender option bonds. A tender option bond is a municipal security (generally held pursuant to a custodial arrangement) having a relatively long maturity and bearing interest at a fixed rate substantially higher than prevailing short-term, tax-exempt rates. The bond is typically issued with the agreement of a third party, such as a bank, broker-dealer or other financial institution, which grants the security holders the option, at periodic intervals, to tender their securities to the institution and receive the face value thereof. As consideration for providing the option, the financial institution receives periodic fees equal to the difference between the bond’s fixed coupon rate and the rate, as determined by a remarketing or similar agent at or near the commencement of such period, that would cause the securities, coupled with the tender option, to trade at par on the date of such determination. Thus, after payment of this fee, the security holder effectively holds a demand obligation that bears interest at the prevailing short-term, tax-exempt rate. However, an institution will not be obligated to accept tendered bonds in the event of certain defaults or a significant downgrade in the credit rating assigned to the issuer of the bond. The liquidity of a tender option bond is a function of the credit quality of both the bond issuer and the financial institution providing liquidity. Tender option bonds are deemed to be liquid unless, in the opinion of the Adviser, the credit quality of the bond issuer and the financial institution is deemed, in light of the Fund’s credit quality requirements, to be inadequate and the bond would not otherwise be readily marketable. The Fund intends to invest in tender option bonds the interest on which will, in the opinion of bond counsel, counsel for the issuer of interests therein or counsel selected by the Adviser, be exempt from regular federal income tax. However, because there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) will agree with such counsel’s opinion in any particular case, there is a risk that the Fund will not be considered the owner of such tender option bonds and thus will not be entitled to treat such interest as exempt from such tax. Additionally, the federal income tax treatment of certain other aspects of these investments, including the proper tax treatment of tender option bonds and the associated fees in relation to various regulated investment company tax provisions, is unclear. The Fund intends to manage its portfolio in a manner designed to eliminate or minimize any adverse impact from the tax rules applicable to these investments.
Auction rate securities. The Fund may invest in auction rate securities. Auction rate securities include auction rate municipal securities and auction rate preferred securities issued by closed-end investment companies that invest primarily in municipal securities (collectively, “auction rate securities”). Provided that the auction mechanism is successful, auction rate securities usually permit the holder to sell the securities in an auction

Table of Contents
at par value at specified intervals. The dividend is reset by “Dutch” auction in which bids are made by broker-dealers and other institutions for a certain amount of securities at a specified minimum yield. The dividend rate set by the auction is the lowest interest or dividend rate that covers all securities offered for sale. While this process is designed to permit auction rate securities to be traded at par value, there is some risk that an auction will fail due to insufficient demand for the securities. The Fund will take the time remaining until the next scheduled auction date into account for purpose of determining the securities’ duration. The Fund’s investments in auction rate securities of closed-end funds are subject to the limitations prescribed by the 1940 Act.
Illiquid securities. The Fund may invest in bonds or other municipal securities that lack a secondary trading market or are otherwise considered illiquid. Liquidity of a security relates to the ability easily to dispose of the security and the price to be obtained upon disposition of the security, which may be less than would be obtained for a comparable, more liquid security. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in illiquid investments. Such investments may affect the Fund’s ability to realize its net asset value in the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation of its assets.
Structured securities. The Fund may invest in structured securities. The value of the principal and/or interest on such securities is determined by reference to changes in the value of specific currencies, interest rates, commodities, indices or other financial indicators (“reference”) or the relative change in two or more references. The interest rate or the principal amount payable upon maturity or redemption may be increased or decreased depending upon changes in the reference. The terms of the structured securities may provide, in certain circumstances, that no principal is due at maturity and, therefore, may result in a loss of the Fund’s investment. Changes in the interest rate or principal payable at maturity may be a multiple of the changes in the value of the reference. Consequently, structured securities may entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of fixed income securities.
Insured municipal securities. The Fund may invest in “insured” municipal securities, which are securities for which scheduled payments of interest and principal are guaranteed by a private (non-governmental) insurance company. The insurance only entitles the Fund to receive at maturity the face or par value of the securities held by the Fund. The insurance does not guarantee the market value of the municipal securities or the value of the shares of the Fund. The Fund may utilize new issue or secondary market insurance. A bond issuer who wishes to increase the credit rating of a security purchases a new issue insurance policy. By paying a premium and
59Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/24


Table of Contents
meeting the insurer’s underwriting standards, the bond issuer is able to obtain a high credit rating (usually, Aaa from Moody’s or AAA from S∓P) for the issued security. Such insurance is likely to increase the purchase price and resale value of the security. New issue insurance policies are non-cancelable and continue in force as long as the bonds are outstanding. A secondary market insurance policy is purchased by an investor subsequent to a bond’s original issuance and generally insures a particular bond for the remainder of its term.
Standby commitments. In order to enhance the liquidity of municipal securities, the Fund may acquire the right to sell a security to another party at a guaranteed price and date. Such a right to resell may be referred to as a “standby commitment” or “liquidity put,” depending on its characteristics. The aggregate price which the Fund pays for securities with standby commitments may be higher than the price which otherwise would be paid for the securities. Standby commitments may not be available or may not be available on satisfactory terms. Standby commitments may involve letters of credit issued by domestic or foreign banks supporting the other party’s ability to purchase the security. The right to sell may be exercisable on demand or at specified intervals and may form part of a security or be acquired separately by the Fund.
Because the period prior to the put date is generally less than 365 days, the Fund generally values the municipal securities subject to standby commitments at amortized cost. The Board of Directors has adopted procedures pursuant to which the Adviser may determine that amortized cost represents the fair value of these securities. The exercise price of the standby commitments is expected to approximate such amortized cost. Consequently, no separate value is assigned to standby commitments for purposes of determining the Fund’s net asset value. The cost of a standby commitment is carried as unrealized depreciation from the time of purchase until it is exercised or expires. Since the value of a standby commitment is dependent on the ability of the standby commitment writer to meet its obligation to repurchase, the Fund’s policy is to enter into standby commitment transactions only with banks, brokers or dealers that present a minimal risk of default. However, this policy reduces, but does not eliminate, the risk of default by the standby commitment writer.
Use of leverage by the Fund. The Fund may use financial leverage on an ongoing basis for investment purposes. The Fund currently uses leverage through the issuance of Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares (“VMTP Shares”). VMTP Shares are issued via private placement and are not publicly available. Leverage creates special risks not associated with unleveraged funds having a similar investment objectives and policies. These include the possibility of higher volatility of both the net asset value
Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/2460


Table of Contents
of the Fund and the value of assets serving as asset coverage for the borrowing. The fees and expenses attributed to leverage, including any increase in the management fees, will be borne by holders of common shares. The Adviser intends only to leverage the Fund when it believes that the potential total return on additional investments purchased with the proceeds of leverage is likely to exceed the costs incurred in connection with the leverage. The Fund may not be leveraged at all times, and the amount of leverage, if any, may vary depending on a variety of factors, including the Adviser’s outlook for interest rates and credit markets and the costs that the Fund would incur as a result of such leverage. The Fund’s leveraging strategy may not be successful.
Except for the Fund’s investment objectives and the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities, the Fund’s investment strategies and policies may be changed from time to time without stockholder approval, unless specifically stated otherwise.
Other investments. Normally, the Fund will invest substantially all of its assets to meet its investment objectives. The Fund may invest the remainder of its assets in securities with remaining maturities of less than one year or cash equivalents, or it may hold cash. For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may depart from its principal investment strategies and invest part or all of its assets in securities with remaining maturities of less than one year or cash equivalents, or it may hold cash. During such periods, the Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objectives.
Zero coupon securities. The Fund may invest in zero coupon securities. Zero coupon securities are debt instruments that do not pay interest during the life of the security but are issued at a discount from the amount the investor will receive when the issuer repays the amount borrowed (the face value). The discount approximates the total amount of interest that would be paid at an assumed interest rate.
Derivatives. The Fund may, but is not required to, use futures and options on securities, indices and currencies, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, swaps, credit-linked notes and other derivatives. The Fund also may enter into credit default swaps, which can be used to acquire or to transfer the credit risk of a security or index of securities without buying or selling the security or securities comprising the relevant index. A derivative is a security or instrument whose value is determined by reference to the
61Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/24


Table of Contents
value or the change in value of one or more securities, currencies, indices or other financial instruments. The Fund may use derivatives for a variety of purposes, including:
In an attempt to hedge against adverse changes in the market prices of securities, interest rates or currency exchange rates
As a substitute for purchasing or selling securities
To attempt to increase the Fund’s return as a non-hedging strategy that may be considered speculative
To manage portfolio characteristics (for example, the duration or credit quality of the Fund’s portfolio)
As a cash flow management technique
The Fund may choose not to make use of derivatives for a variety of reasons, and any use may be limited by applicable law and regulations.
Other investment companies. The Fund may invest in the securities of other investment companies to the extent that such investments are consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and principal investment strategies and permissible under the 1940 Act. Subject to the limitations on investment in other investment companies, the Fund may invest in “ETFs.”
Repurchase agreements. In a repurchase agreement, the Fund purchases securities from a broker/dealer or a bank, called the counterparty, upon the agreement of the counterparty to repurchase the securities from the Fund at a later date, and at a specified price, which is typically higher than the purchase price paid by the Fund. The securities purchased serve as the Fund’s collateral for the obligation of the counterparty to repurchase the securities. If the counterparty does not repurchase the securities, the Fund is entitled to sell the securities, but the Fund may not be able to sell them for the price at which they were purchased, thus causing a loss. Additionally, if the counterparty becomes insolvent, there is some risk that the Fund will not have a right to the securities, or the immediate right to sell the securities.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
General. The Fund is a closed-end management investment company designed primarily as a long-term investment and not as a trading tool. The Fund is not a complete investment program and should be considered only as an addition to an investor’s existing portfolio of investments. Because the Fund may invest substantially in high yield debt securities, an investment in the Fund’s shares is speculative in that it involves a high degree of risk. Due to uncertainty inherent in all investments, there can be
Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/2462


Table of Contents
no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Instruments in which the Fund invests may only have limited liquidity, or may be illiquid.
Market price of Common shares. Common shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a price lower than their net asset value. This is commonly referred to as “trading at a discount.” This characteristic of shares of closed-end funds is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that the Fund’s net asset value may decrease. Both long and short-term investors, including investors who sell their shares within a relatively short period after purchase, will be exposed to this risk. The Fund is designed primarily for long-term investors and should not be considered a vehicle for trading purposes.
Whether investors will realize a gain or loss upon the sale of the Fund’s Common Shares will depend upon whether the market value of the shares at the time of sale is above or below the price the investor paid, taking into account transaction costs, for the shares and is not directly dependent upon the Fund’s net asset value. Because the market value of the Fund’s shares will be determined by factors such as the relative demand for and supply of the shares in the market, general market conditions and other factors beyond the control of the Fund, the Fund cannot predict whether its Common Shares will trade at, below or above net asset value, or below or above the offering price for the shares.
Market risk. The market prices of securities or other assets held by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political, or regulatory conditions, political instability, recessions, inflation, changes in interest or currency rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, weather or climate events, armed conflict, market disruptions caused by tariffs, trade disputes, sanctions or other government actions, or other factors or adverse investor sentiment. If the market prices of the Fund’s securities and assets fall, the value of your investment will go down. A change in financial condition or other event affecting a single issuer or market may adversely impact securities markets as a whole.
Changes in market conditions may not have the same impact on all types of securities. The value of securities may also fall due to specific conditions that affect a particular sector of the securities market or a particular issuer.  In the past decade, financial markets throughout the world have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. Governmental and non-governmental issuers have defaulted on, or been forced to restructure, their debts. These
63Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/24


Table of Contents
conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread. Events that have contributed to these market conditions include, but are not limited to, major cybersecurity events; geopolitical events (including wars, terror attacks and economic sanctions); measures to address budget deficits; downgrading of sovereign debt; changes in oil and commodity prices; dramatic changes in currency exchange rates; global pandemics; and public sentiment.  The long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its subsequent variants on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced or may experience particularly large losses. Periods of extreme volatility in the financial markets; reduced liquidity of many instruments; increased government debt, inflation and disruptions to supply chains, consumer demand and employee availability, may continue for some time.
Raising the ceiling on U.S. government debt has become increasingly politicized. Any failure to increase the total amount that the U.S. government is authorized to borrow could lead to a default on U.S. government obligations, with unpredictable consequences for economies and markets in the U.S. and elsewhere. Inflation and interest rates have increased and may rise further. These circumstances could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments and negatively impact the Fund's performance.  In addition, inflation, rising interest rates, global supply chain disruptions and other market events could adversely affect the companies or issuers in which the Fund invests. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian securities lost all, or nearly all, their market value.  Other securities or markets could be similarly affected by past or future political, geopolitical or other events or conditions. 
Governments and central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. These actions have resulted in significant expansion of public debt, including in the U.S. The consequences of high public debt, including its future impact on the economy and securities markets, may not be known for some time.  U.S. Federal Reserve or other U.S. or non-U.S. governmental or central bank actions, including increases or decreases in interest rates, or contrary actions by different governments, could negatively affect financial markets generally, increase market volatility and reduce the value and liquidity of securities in which the Fund invests. Policy and legislative changes in the U.S. and in other countries are affecting many aspects of financial regulation, and these and other events affecting global markets, such as the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union (or Brexit), potential trade imbalances with China or other countries, or sanctions or other government actions against Russia,
Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/2464


Table of Contents
other nations or individuals or companies (or their countermeasures), may contribute to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the financial markets. The impact of these changes on the markets, and the implications for market participants, may not be fully known for some time.
The U.S. and other countries are periodically involved in disputes over trade and other matters, which may result in tariffs, investment restrictions and adverse impacts on affected companies and securities.  For example, the U.S. has imposed tariffs and other trade barriers on Chinese exports, has restricted sales of certain categories of goods to China, and has established barriers to investments in China.  Trade disputes may adversely affect the economies of the U.S. and its trading partners, as well as companies directly or indirectly affected and financial markets generally.  The U.S. government has prohibited U.S. persons, such as the Fund, from investing in Chinese companies designated as related to the Chinese military.  The Chinese government is involved in a longstanding dispute with Taiwan that has included threats of invasion. If the political climate between the U.S. and China does not improve or continues to deteriorate, if China were to attempt unification of Taiwan by force, or if other geopolitical conflicts develop or get worse, economies, markets and individual securities may be severely affected both regionally and globally, and the value of the Fund’s assets may go down.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading and tariff arrangements, armed conflict such as between Russia and Ukraine or in the Middle East, terrorism, natural disasters, infectious illness or public health issues, cybersecurity events, supply chain disruptions, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, and other circumstances in one country or region could have profound impacts on other countries or regions and on global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not the Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries or regions directly affected, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected. The Fund may experience a substantial or complete loss on any security or derivative position.
High yield or “junk” bond risk. Debt securities that are below investment grade, called “junk bonds,” are speculative, have a higher risk of default or are already in default, tend to be less liquid and are more difficult to value than higher grade securities. Junk bonds tend to be volatile and more susceptible to adverse events and negative sentiments. These risks are more pronounced for securities that are already in default.
65Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/24


Table of Contents
Interest rate risk. The market prices of the Fund's fixed income securities may fluctuate significantly when interest rates change. The value of your investment will generally go down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. For example, if interest rates increase by 1%, the value of a Fund’s portfolio with a portfolio duration of ten years would be expected to decrease by 10%, all other things being equal. In recent years interest rates and credit spreads in the U.S. have been at historic lows. The U.S. Federal Reserve has raised certain interest rates, and interest rates may continue to go up. A general rise in interest rates could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed income securities. The maturity of a security may be significantly longer than its effective duration. A security’s maturity and other features may be more relevant than its effective duration in determining the security’s sensitivity to other factors affecting the issuer or markets generally, such as changes in credit quality or in the yield premium that the market may establish for certain types of securities (sometimes called “credit spread”). In general, the longer its maturity the more a security may be susceptible to these factors. When the credit spread for a fixed income security goes up, or “widens,” the value of the security will generally go down.
Rising interest rates can lead to increased default rates, as issuers of floating rate securities find themselves faced with higher payments. Unlike fixed rate securities, floating rate securities generally will not increase in value if interest rates decline. Changes in interest rates also will affect the amount of interest income the Fund earns on its floating rate investments.
Credit risk. If an issuer or guarantor of a security held by the Fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the Fund defaults on its obligation to pay principal and/or interest, has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment will typically decline. Changes in actual or perceived creditworthiness may occur quickly. The Fund could be delayed or hindered in its enforcement of rights against an issuer, guarantor or counterparty.
Prepayment or call risk. Many issuers have a right to prepay their securities. If interest rates fall, an issuer may exercise this right. If this happens, the Fund will not benefit from the rise in market price that normally accompanies a decline in interest rates, and will be forced to reinvest prepayment proceeds at a time when yields on securities available in the market are lower than the yield on the prepaid security. The Fund also may lose any premium it paid on the security.
Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/2466


Table of Contents
Extension risk. During periods of rising interest rates, the average life of certain types of securities may be extended because of slower than expected principal payments. This may lock in a below market interest rate, increase the security’s duration and reduce the value of the security.
Risk of illiquid investments. Certain securities and derivatives held by the Fund may be impossible or difficult to purchase, sell or unwind. Illiquid securities and derivatives also may be difficult to value. Liquidity risk may be magnified in an environment of rising interest rates or widening credit spreads. During times of market turmoil, there have been, and may be, no buyers or sellers for securities in entire asset classes. If the Fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset or unwind a derivatives position, the Fund may suffer a substantial loss or may not be able to sell at all.
Portfolio selection risk. The Adviser’s judgment about the quality, relative yield, relative value or market trends affecting a particular sector or region, market segment, security, industry or about interest rates or other market factors may prove to be incorrect or may not produce the desired results, or there may be imperfections, errors or limitations in the models, tools and information used by the Adviser.
Municipal securities risk. The municipal bond market can be susceptible to unusual volatility, particularly for lower-rated and unrated securities. Liquidity can be reduced unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. Issuers of municipal securities tend to derive a significant portion of their revenue from taxes, particularly property and income taxes, and decreases in personal income levels and property values and other unfavorable economic factors, such as a general economic recession, adversely affect municipal securities. Municipal issuers may also be adversely affected by rising health care costs, increasing unfunded pension liabilities and by the phasing out of federal programs providing financial support. Where municipal securities are issued to finance particular projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation, housing, water or sewer and utilities, issuers often depend on revenues from those projects to make principal and interest payments. Adverse conditions and developments in those sectors can result in lower revenues to issuers of municipal securities, potentially resulting in defaults, and can also have an adverse effect on the broader municipal securities market. To the extent the Fund invests significantly in a single state, or in securities the payments on which are dependent upon a single project or source of revenues, or that relate to a sector or industry, including health care facilities, education, special revenues and housing, the Fund will be more susceptible to associated risks and developments.
67Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/24


Table of Contents
There may be less public information available on municipal issuers or projects than other issuers, and valuing municipal securities may be more difficult. In addition, the secondary market for municipal securities is less well developed and liquid than other markets, and dealers may be less willing to offer and sell municipal securities in times of market turbulence. Changes in the financial condition of one or more individual municipal issuers (or one or more insurers of municipal issuers), or one or more defaults by municipal issuers or insurers, can adversely affect liquidity and valuations in the overall market for municipal securities. The value of municipal securities can also be adversely affected by regulatory and political developments affecting the ability of municipal issuers to pay interest or repay principal, actual or anticipated tax law changes or other legislative actions, and by uncertainties and public perceptions concerning these and other factors. Municipal securities may be more susceptible to downgrades or defaults during recessions or similar periods of economic stress. Financial difficulties of municipal issuers may continue or get worse, particularly in the event of political, economic or market turmoil or a recession.
The rate of interest paid on municipal securities normally is lower than the rate of interest paid on fully taxable securities. Some municipal securities, such as general obligation issues, are backed by the issuer’s taxing authority, while other municipal securities, such as revenue issues, are backed only by revenues from certain facilities or other sources and not by the issuer itself. The payment of principal and interest on private activity and industrial development revenue bonds is solely dependent on the ability of the facility’s user to meet its financial obligations and the pledge, if any, of the facility or other property as security for payment. The municipal market can be susceptible to unusual volatility, particularly for lower-rated and unrated securities.
Taxable investment risk. Although distributions of interest income from the Fund’s tax-exempt securities are generally exempt from regular federal income tax, distributions from other sources, including capital gain distributions, and any gains on the sale of your shares are not. In addition, the interest on the Fund’s municipal securities could become subject to regular federal income tax or the AMT due to noncompliant conduct by issuers, unfavorable legislation or litigation, or adverse interpretations by regulatory authorities. You should consult a tax adviser about whether the AMT applies to you and about state and local taxes on your Fund distributions.
Risks of subordinated securities. A holder of securities that are subordinated or “junior” to more senior securities of an issuer is entitled to payment after holders of more senior securities of the issuer. Subordinated
Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/2468


Table of Contents
securities are more likely to suffer a credit loss than non-subordinated securities of the same issuer, any loss incurred by the subordinated securities is likely to be proportionately greater, and any recovery of interest or principal may take more time. As a result, even a perceived decline in creditworthiness of the issuer is likely to have a greater impact on subordinated securities than more senior securities.
U.S. Treasury obligations risk. The market value of direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury may vary due to changes in interest rates. In addition, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. government may cause the value of the Fund’s investments in obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury to decline.
U.S. government agency obligations risk. The Fund invests in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. government. Government-sponsored entities such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) and the Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs), although chartered or sponsored by Congress, are not funded by congressional appropriations and the debt and mortgage-backed securities issued by them are neither guaranteed nor issued by the U.S. government. The maximum potential liability of the issuers of some U.S. government obligations may greatly exceed their current resources, including any legal right to support from the U.S. government. Such debt and mortgage-backed securities are subject to the risk of default on the payment of interest and/or principal, similar to debt of private issuers. Although the U.S. government has provided financial support to FNMA and FHLMC in the past, there can be no assurance that it will support these or other government-sponsored entities in the future.
Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities risk. The value of mortgage-related securities, including commercial mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage-backed securities, credit risk transfer securities, and asset-backed securities, will be influenced by factors affecting the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset value, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Mortgage-backed securities tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rate than other types of debt securities. These securities are also subject to interest rate, prepayment and extension risks. Some of these securities may receive little or no collateral protection from the underlying assets and are thus subject to the risk of default. The risk of such defaults is generally higher in the case of mortgage-backed investments offered by non-governmental issuers
69Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/24


Table of Contents
and those that include so-called “sub-prime” mortgages. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than for other types of debt securities. Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events or defaults, the Fund may become the holder of underlying assets at a time when those assets may be difficult to sell or may be sold only at a loss.
Risks of investing in collateralized debt obligations. Investment in a collateralized debt obligation (CDO) is subject to the credit, subordination, interest rate, valuation, prepayment, extension and other risks of the obligations underlying the CDO and the tranche of the CDO in which the Fund invests. CDOs are subject to liquidity risk. Synthetic CDOs are also subject to the risks of investing in derivatives, such as credit default swaps, and leverage risk.
Risks of instruments that allow for balloon payments or negative amortization payments. Certain debt instruments allow for balloon payments or negative amortization payments. Such instruments permit the borrower to avoid paying currently a portion of the interest accruing on the instrument. While these features make the debt instrument more affordable to the borrower in the near term, they increase the risk that the borrower will be unable to make the resulting higher payment or payments that become due at the maturity of the loan.
Risks of zero coupon bonds, payment in kind, deferred and contingent payment securities. These securities may be more speculative and may fluctuate more in value than securities which pay income periodically and in cash. In addition, although the Fund receives no periodic cash payments on such securities, the Fund is deemed for tax purposes to receive income from such securities, which applicable tax rules require the Fund to distribute to stockholders. Such distributions may be taxable when distributed to stockholders.
Derivatives risk. Using swaps, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, bond and interest rate futures and other derivatives can increase Fund losses and reduce opportunities for gains when market prices, interest rates or the derivative instruments themselves behave in a way not anticipated by the Fund. Using derivatives may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value and may not provide the result intended. Derivatives may have a leveraging effect on the Fund. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment. Derivatives are generally subject to the risks applicable to the assets, rates, indices or other indicators underlying the derivative. Changes in a derivative’s value may not correlate well with the referenced asset or metric. The Fund also may have to sell assets at inopportune times
Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/2470


Table of Contents
to satisfy its obligations. Derivatives may be difficult to sell, unwind or value, and the counterparty may default on its obligations to the Fund. Use of derivatives may have different tax consequences for the Fund than an investment in the underlying security, and such differences may affect the amount, timing and character of income distributed to stockholders. The U.S. government and foreign governments have adopted and implemented or are in the process of adopting and implementing regulations governing derivatives markets, including mandatory clearing of certain derivatives, margin and reporting requirements. The ultimate impact of the regulations remains unclear. Additional regulation of derivatives may make them more costly, limit their availability or utility, otherwise adversely affect their performance or disrupt markets.
Synthetic municipal securities risk. The tax-exempt character of the interest paid on tender option bonds, bond receipts and similar synthetic municipal securities, a type of derivative instrument, is based on the tax-exempt income stream from the collateral. In addition to the risks of investing in municipal securities and in derivatives generally, investments in synthetic municipal securities are subject to the risk that income derived from such securities is deemed to be taxable.
Risks of investing in inverse floating rate obligations. The interest rate on inverse floating rate obligations will generally decrease as short-term interest rates increase, and increase as short-term rates decrease. Due to their leveraged structure, the sensitivity of the market value of an inverse floating rate obligation to changes in interest rates is generally greater than a comparable long-term bond issued by the same issuer and with similar credit quality, redemption and maturity provisions. Inverse floating rate obligations may be volatile and involve leverage risk.
Credit default swap risk. Credit default swap contracts, a type of derivative instrument, involve special risks and may result in losses to the Fund. Credit default swaps may in some cases be illiquid, and they increase credit risk since the Fund has exposure to the issuer of the referenced obligation and either the counterparty to the credit default swap or, if it is a cleared transaction, the brokerage firm through which the trade was cleared and the clearing organization that is the counterparty to that trade.
Structured securities risk. Structured securities may behave in ways not anticipated by the Fund, or they may not receive the tax, accounting or regulatory treatment anticipated by the Fund.
Leveraging risk. The value of your investment may be more volatile and other risks tend to be compounded if the Fund borrows or uses derivatives or other investments, such as ETFs, that have embedded leverage. Leverage generally magnifies the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of
71Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/24


Table of Contents
the Fund’s underlying assets and creates a risk of loss of value on a larger pool of assets than the Fund would otherwise have, potentially resulting in the loss of all assets. Engaging in such transactions may cause the Fund to liquidate positions when it may not be advantageous to do so.  New derivatives regulations require the Fund, to the extent it uses derivatives to a material extent, to, among other things, comply with certain overall limits on leverage.  These regulations may limit the ability of the Fund to pursue its investment.
The Fund may use financial leverage on an ongoing basis for investment purposes by issuing preferred shares. The fees and expenses attributed to leverage, including any increase in the management fees, will be borne by holders of common shares. Since the Adviser’s fee is based on a percentage of the Fund’s managed assets, its fee will be higher if the Fund is leveraged, and the Adviser will thus have an incentive to leverage the Fund.
Repurchase agreement risk. In the event that the other party to a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligations, the Fund may encounter delay and incur costs before being able to sell the security. Such a delay may involve loss of interest or a decline in price of the security. In addition, if the Fund is characterized by a court as an unsecured creditor, it would be at risk of losing some or all of the principal and interest involved in the transaction.
Market segment risk. To the extent the Fund emphasizes, from time to time, investments in a market segment, the Fund will be subject to a greater degree to the risks particular to that segment, and may experience greater market fluctuation than a fund without the same focus.
Valuation risk. Nearly all of the Fund's investments are valued using a fair value methodology.  The sales price the Fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the Fund’s valuation of the investment, particularly for illiquid securities and securities that trade in thin or volatile markets. These differences may increase significantly and affect Fund investments more broadly during periods of market volatility. The ability to value the Fund’s investments may also be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third party service providers.
Cybersecurity risk. Cybersecurity failures by and breaches of the Fund’s Adviser, transfer agent, custodian, Fund accounting agent or other service providers may disrupt Fund operations, interfere with the Fund’s ability to calculate its NAV, prevent Fund stockholders from purchasing or selling shares or receiving distributions or receiving timely information regarding the Fund or their investment in the Fund, cause loss of or unauthorized

access to private stockholder information, and result in financial losses to the Fund and its stockholders, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, or additional compliance costs. New ways to carry out cyber attacks continue to develop. Therefore, there is a chance that some risks have not been identified or prepared for, or that an attack may not be detected, which puts limitations on the Fund’s ability to plan for or respond to a cyber attack.
Cash management risk. The value of the investments held by the Fund for cash management or temporary defensive purposes may be affected by market risks, changing interest rates and by changes in credit ratings of the investments. To the extent that the Fund has any uninvested cash, the Fund would be subject to credit risk with respect to the depository institution holding the cash. If the Fund holds cash uninvested, the Fund will not earn income on the cash and the Fund’s yield will go down. During such periods, it may be more difficult for the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
Anti-takeover provisions. The Fund’s Charter and Bylaws include provisions that are designed to limit the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of the Fund for short-term objectives, including by converting the Fund to open-end status or changing the composition of the Board, that may be detrimental to the Fund’s ability to achieve its primary investment objective of seeking to provide its common stockholders with a high level of current income exempt from regular federal income tax. These provisions include staggered terms of service for the Directors, advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals, and super-majority voting requirements for certain transactions with affiliates, open-ending the Fund or a merger, liquidation, asset sale or similar transaction. The Fund’s Bylaws also contain a provision providing that the Board of Directors has adopted a resolution to opt in the Fund to the provisions of the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act (“MCSAA”). Such provisions may limit the ability of stockholders to sell their shares at a premium over prevailing market prices by discouraging a third party from seeking to obtain control of the Fund. There can be no assurance, however, that such provisions will be sufficient to deter activist investors that seek to cause the Fund to take actions that may not be aligned with the interests of long-term stockholders.  Furthermore, the law is uncertain on the use of control share provisions.  Certain courts have found that control share provisions are unenforceable under the 1940 Act. It is possible that a court could decide that the Fund’s decision to opt in to the MCSAA is not enforceable under the 1940 Act.
Exclusive forum provisions.  The Fund’s Bylaws designate the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland as the sole and exclusive forum for certain
73Pioneer Municipal High Income Fund, Inc. | Annual Report | 4/30/24


Table of Contents
types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by the Fund’s stockholders and provide that claims relating to causes of action under the United States federal securities laws may only be brought in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Northern Division, which could limit stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with the Fund or its directors, officers or the Fund’s agents, if any, and could discourage lawsuits against the Fund and its directors, officers and agents, if any.
The Fund’s Bylaws provide that, unless the Fund consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Northern Division, will be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any Internal Corporate Claim, as such term is defined in the MGCL, (b) any derivative action or proceeding brought on the Fund’s behalf (other than actions arising under federal securities laws), (c) any action asserting a claim of breach of any duty owed by any of the Fund’s directors, officers or other agents to the Fund or to the Fund’s stockholders, (d) any action asserting a claim against the Fund or any of the Fund’s directors, officers or other agents arising pursuant to any provision of the MGCL or the Fund’s Charter or Bylaws or (e) any other action asserting a claim against the Fund or any of the Fund’s directors, officers or other agents that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Furthermore, the Fund’s Bylaws provide that, unless the Fund consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Northern Division shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any claim arising under the United States federal securities laws.
These exclusive forum provisions may limit the ability of the Fund’s stockholders to bring a claim in a judicial forum that such stockholders find favorable for disputes with the Fund or the Fund’s directors, officers, or agents, if any, which may discourage such lawsuits against the Fund and the Fund’s directors, officers, and agents, if any. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provisions contained in the Fund’s Bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, the Fund may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could materially adversely affect the Fund’s business, financial condition, and operating results.
Please note that there are many other factors that could adversely affect your investment and that could prevent the Fund from achieving its goals.

The following are the Fund’s fundamental investment restrictions. These restrictions, along with the Fund’s investment objectives, may not be changed without the approval of the holders of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities (which for this purpose and under the 1940 Act means the lesser of (i) 67% of the common shares represented at a meeting at which more than 50% of the outstanding common shares are represented or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding common shares).
The Fund may not:
(1) Issue senior securities, except as permitted by applicable law, as amended and interpreted or modified from time to time by any regulatory authority jurisdiction.
(2) Borrow money, except as permitted by applicable law, as amended and interpreted or modified from time to time by any regulatory authority jurisdiction.
(3) Invest in real estate, except the Fund may invest in securities of issuers that invest in real estate or interests therein, securities that are secured by real estate or interests therein, securities of real estate investment trusts, mortgage-backed securities and other securities that represent a similar indirect interest in real estate, and the Fund may acquire real estate or interests therein through exercising rights or remedies with regard to an instrument.
(4) Make loans, except that the Fund may (i) lend portfolio securities in accordance with the Fund’s investment policies, (ii) enter into repurchase agreements, (iii) purchase all or a portion of an issue of publicly distributed debt securities, bank loan participation interests, bank certificates of deposit, acceptances, debentures or other securities, whether or not the purchase is made upon the original issuance of the securities, (iv) participate in a credit facility whereby the Fund may directly lend to and borrow money from other affiliated funds to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act or an exemption therefrom and (v) make loans in any other manner consistent with applicable law, as amended and interpreted or modified from time to time by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction.
(5) Invest in commodities or commodity contracts, except that the Fund may invest in currency instruments and contracts and financial

Table of Contents
  instruments and contracts that might be deemed to be commodities and commodity contracts.
(6) Act as an underwriter, except insofar as the Fund technically may be deemed to be an underwriter in connection with the purchase or sale of its portfolio securities.
(7) Make any investment inconsistent with its classification as a diversified closed-end investment company (or series thereof) under the 1940 Act.
(8) Invest 25% or more of the value of its total assets in any one industry, provided that this limitation does not apply to municipal securities other than those municipal securities backed only by assets and revenues of non-governmental issuers.
(9) Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest substantially all (at least 80%) of its assets (net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes) in debt securities and other obligations issued by or on behalf of states, territories and possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, the interest on which is exempt from regular federal income tax.
All other investment policies of the Fund are considered non-fundamental and may be changed by the Board of Directors without prior approval of the Fund’s outstanding voting shares.

Effects of Leverage
The following table is furnished in response to requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is designed to illustrate the effects of leverage on common share total return, assuming investment portfolio total returns (consisting of income and changes in the value of investments held in the Fund’s portfolio) of -10%, -5%, 0%, 5% and 10%. The table below assumes the Fund’s continued use of leverage through preferred shares issued and outstanding as of April 30, 2024 as a percentage of the Fund’s total assets (which includes the assets attributable to such leverage), the annual dividend rate on the preferred shares as of April 30, 2024, and the annual return that the Fund’s portfolio must experience (net of expenses) in order to cover such costs. The information below does not reflect the Fund’s use of certain other forms of economic leverage achieved through the use of other instruments or transactions not considered to be senior securities under the 1940 Act, if any.
The assumed investment portfolio returns in the table below are hypothetical figures and are not necessarily indicative of the investment portfolio returns experienced or expected to be experienced by the Fund. Your actual returns may be greater or less than those appearing below. In addition, actual dividend rate payable on the preferred shares by the Fund may vary frequently and may be significantly higher or lower than the rate used for the example below.
   
Preferred shares as a percentage of total managed assets (including assets attributable to preferred shares) 18.40%
Annual effective dividend rate payable by Fund on preferred shares 5.64%
Annual return Fund portfolio must experience (net of expenses) to cover dividend rate on preferred shares 1.04%
Common share total return for (10.00)% assumed portfolio total return (13.53)%
Common share total return for (5.00)% assumed portfolio total return (7.40)%
Common share total return for 0.00% assumed portfolio total return (1.27)%
Common share total return for 5.00% assumed portfolio total return 4.86%
Common share total return for 10.00% assumed portfolio total return 10.98%
Common share total return is composed of two elements - investment income net of the Fund’s expenses, including any interest/dividends on assets resulting from leverage, and gains or losses on the value of the securities the Fund owns. As required by Securities and Exchange Commission rules, the table assumes that the Fund is more likely to suffer capital losses than to enjoy capital appreciation. For example, to assume a total return of 0%, the Fund must assume that the income it receives on its investments is entirely offset by losses in the value of those investments.

Table of Contents
This table reflects hypothetical performance of the Fund’s portfolio and not the performance of the Fund’s common shares, the value of which will be determined by market forces and other factors.
Should the Fund elect to add additional leverage to its portfolio, the potential benefits of leveraging the Fund’s shares cannot be fully achieved until the proceeds resulting from the use of leverage have been received by the Fund and invested in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and principal investment strategies. The Fund’s willingness to use additional leverage, and the extent to which leverage is used at any time, will depend on many factors, including, among other things, the Adviser’s assessment of the yield curve environment, interest rate trends, market conditions and other factors.

PIONEER FUNDS

APPROVAL OF AUDIT, AUDIT-RELATED, TAX AND OTHER SERVICES

PROVIDED BY THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

SECTION I - POLICY PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY

The Pioneer Funds recognize the importance of maintaining the independence of their outside auditors. Maintaining independence is a shared responsibility involving Amundi Asset Management US, Inc., the audit committee and the independent auditors.

The Funds recognize that a Fund’s independent auditors: 1) possess knowledge of the Funds, 2) are able to incorporate certain services into the scope of the audit, thereby avoiding redundant work, cost and disruption of Fund personnel and processes, and 3) have expertise that has value to the Funds. As a result, there are situations where it is desirable to use the Fund’s independent auditors for services in addition to the annual audit and where the potential for conflicts of interests are minimal. Consequently, this policy, which is intended to comply with Rule 210.2-01(C)(7), sets forth guidelines and procedures to be followed by the Funds when retaining the independent audit firm to perform audit, audit-related tax and other services under those circumstances, while also maintaining independence.

 

3


Approval of a service in accordance with this policy for a Fund shall also constitute approval for any other Fund whose pre-approval is required pursuant to Rule 210.2-01(c)(7)(ii).

In addition to the procedures set forth in this policy, any non-audit services that may be provided consistently with Rule 210.2-01 may be approved by the Audit Committee itself and any pre-approval that may be waived in accordance with Rule 210.2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) is hereby waived.

Selection of a Fund’s independent auditors and their compensation shall be determined by the Audit Committee and shall not be subject to this policy.

. Proxy voting policies and procedures

Policy

Each of the Pioneer Funds and certain other clients of Amundi Asset Management US, Inc. (“Amundi US”) have delegated responsibility to vote proxies related to portfolio holdings to Amundi US. Amundi US is a fiduciary that owes each of its clients the duties of care and loyalty with respect to all services undertaken on the client’s behalf, including voting proxies for securities held by the client. When Amundi US has been delegated proxy-voting authority for a client, the duty of care requires Amundi US to monitor corporate events and to vote the proxies. To satisfy its duty of loyalty, Amundi US must place the client’s interests ahead of its own and must cast proxy votes in a manner consistent with the best interest of the client. It is Amundi US’s policy to vote proxies presented to Amundi US in a timely manner in accordance with these principles.

Amundi US’s sole concern in voting proxies is the economic effect of the proposal on the value of portfolio holdings, considering both the short- and long-term impact. In many instances, Amundi US believes that supporting the company’s strategy and voting “for” management’s proposals builds portfolio value. In other cases, however, proposals set forth by management may have a negative effect on that value, while some shareholder proposals may hold the best prospects for enhancing it. Amundi US monitors developments in the proxy voting arena and will revise this policy as needed.

Amundi US believes that environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors can affect companies’ long-term prospects for success and the sustainability of their business models. Since ESG factors that may affect corporate performance and economic value are considered by our investment professionals as part of the investment management process, Amundi US also considers these factors when reviewing proxy proposals. This approach is consistent with the stated investment objectives and policies of funds and investment strategies.

It should be noted that the proxy voting guidelines below are guidelines, not rules, and Amundi US reserves the right in all cases to vote contrary to guidelines where doing so is determined to represent the best economic interests of our clients. Further, the Pioneer Funds or other clients of Amundi US may direct Amundi US to vote contrary to guidelines.

Amundi US’s clients may request copies of their proxy voting records and of Amundi US’s proxy voting policies and procedures by either sending a written request to Amundi US’s Proxy Coordinator, or clients may review Amundi US’s proxy voting policies and procedures on-line at amundi.com/usinvestors. Amundi US may describe to clients its proxy voting policies and procedures by delivering a copy of Amundi US’s Form ADV (Part II), by separate notice to the client or by other means.

Applicability

This Proxy Voting policy and the procedures set forth below are designed to complement Amundi US’s investment policies and procedures regarding its general responsibility to monitor the performance and/or corporate events of companies that are issuers of securities held in accounts managed by Amundi US. This policy sets forth Amundi US’s position on a number of issues for which proxies may be solicited but it does not include all potential voting scenarios or proxy events. Furthermore, because of the special issues associated with proxy solicitations by closed-end Funds, Amundi US will vote shares of closed-end Funds on a case-by-case basis.

Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to ensure that proxies for United States (“US”) and non-US companies that are received in a timely manner will be voted in accordance with the principles stated above. Unless the Proxy Voting Oversight Group (as described below) specifically determines otherwise, all shares in a company held by Amundi US-managed accounts for which Amundi US has proxy-voting authority will be voted alike, unless a client has given specific voting instructions on an issue.

Amundi US does not delegate the authority to vote proxies relating to securities held by its clients to any of its affiliates. Any questions about this policy should be directed to Amundi US’s Chief of Staff, US Investment Management (the “Proxy Coordinator”).

 

13


Procedures

Proxy Voting Service

Amundi US has engaged an independent proxy voting service to assist in the voting of proxies. The proxy voting service works with custodians to ensure that all proxy materials are received by the custodians and are processed in a timely fashion. The proxy voting service votes all proxies in accordance with the proxy voting guidelines established by Amundi US and set forth herein, to the extent applicable. The proxy voting service will refer proxy questions to the Proxy Coordinator (described below) for instructions under circumstances where: (1) the application of the proxy voting guidelines is unclear; (2) a particular proxy question is not covered by the guidelines; or (3) the guidelines call for specific instructions on a case-by-case basis. The proxy voting service is also requested to call to the Proxy Coordinator’s attention specific proxy questions that, while governed by a guideline, appear to involve unusual or controversial issues. Amundi US reserves the right to attend a meeting in person and may do so when it determines that the company or the matters to be voted on at the meeting are strategically important to its clients.

To supplement its own research and analysis in determining how to vote on a particular proxy proposal, Amundi US may utilize research, analysis or recommendations provided by the proxy voting service on a case-by-case basis. Amundi US does not, as a policy, follow the assessments or recommendations provided by the proxy voting service without its own analysis and determination.

Proxy Coordinator

The Proxy Coordinator coordinates the voting, procedures and reporting of proxies on behalf of Amundi US’s clients. The Proxy Coordinator will deal directly with the proxy voting service and, in the case of proxy questions referred by the proxy voting service, will solicit voting recommendations and instructions from the Portfolio Management Group, or, to the extent applicable, investment sub-advisers. The Proxy Coordinator is responsible for ensuring that these questions and referrals are responded to in a timely fashion and for transmitting appropriate voting instructions to the proxy voting service. The Proxy Coordinator is responsible for verifying with the General Counsel or his or her designee whether Amundi US’s voting power is subject to any limitations or guidelines issued by the client (or in the case of an employee benefit plan, the plan’s director or other fiduciaries).

Referral Items

The proxy voting service will refer proxy questions to the Proxy Coordinator or his or her designee that are described by Amundi US’s proxy voting guidelines as to be voted on a case-by-case basis, that are not covered by Amundi US’s guidelines or where Amundi US’s guidelines may be unclear with respect to the matter to be voted on. Under such circumstances, the Proxy Coordinator will seek a written voting recommendation from the Chief Investment Officer, U.S. or his or her designated equity portfolio-management representative. Any such recommendation will include: (i) the manner in which the proxies should be voted; (ii) the rationale underlying any such decision; and (iii) the disclosure of any contacts or communications made between Amundi US and any outside parties concerning the proxy proposal prior to the time that the voting instructions are provided.

Securities Lending

In accordance with industry standards, proxies are not available to be voted when the shares are out on loan through either Amundi US’s lending program or a client’s managed security lending program. However, Amundi US will reserve the right to recall lent securities so that they may be voted according to Amundi US’s instructions. If a portfolio manager would like to vote a block of previously lent shares, the Proxy Coordinator will work with the portfolio manager and Investment Operations to recall the security, to the extent possible, to facilitate the vote on the entire block of shares. Certain clients participate in securities lending programs. Although such programs allow for the recall of securities for any reason, Amundi US may determine not to vote securities on loan and it may not always be possible for securities on loan to be recalled in time to be voted.

Share-Blocking

“Share-blocking” is a market practice whereby shares are sent to a custodian (which may be different than the account custodian) for record keeping and voting at the general meeting. The shares are unavailable for sale or delivery until the end of the blocking period (typically the day after general meeting date).

Amundi US will vote in those countries with “share-blocking.” In the event a manager would like to sell a security with “share-blocking”, the Proxy Coordinator will work with the Portfolio Manager and Investment Operations Department to recall the shares (as allowable within the market time-frame and practices) and/or communicate with executing brokerage firm. A list of countries with “share-blocking” is available from the Investment Operations Department upon request.

Proxy Voting Oversight Group

The members of the Proxy Voting Oversight Group include Amundi US’s Chief Investment Officer, U.S. or his or her designated equity portfolio management representative, the Chief of Staff, U.S., and the Chief Compliance Officer of the Adviser and Funds. Other members of Amundi US will be invited to attend meetings and otherwise participate as necessary. The Chief of Staff, U.S. will chair the Proxy Voting Oversight Group.

The Proxy Voting Oversight Group is responsible for developing, evaluating, and changing (when necessary) Amundi US’s proxy voting policies and procedures. The Group meets at least annually to evaluate and review this policy and the services of its third-party proxy voting service. In addition, the Proxy Voting Oversight Group will meet as necessary to vote on referral items and address other business as necessary.

Amendments

Amundi US may not amend this policy without the prior approval of the Proxy Voting Oversight Group.

Form N-PX

The Proxy Coordinator and the Director of Regulatory Reporting are responsible for ensuring that Form N-PX documents receive the proper review by a member of the Proxy Voting Oversight Group prior to a Fund officer signing the forms.

The Investment Operations department will provide the Compliance department with a copy of each Form N-PX filing prepared by the proxy voting service.

Compliance files N-PX. The Compliance department will ensure that a corresponding Form N-PX exists for each Amundi US registered investment company.

Following this review, each Form N-PX is formatted for public dissemination via the EDGAR system.

Prior to submission, each Form N-PX is to be presented to the Fund officer for a final review and signature.

Copies of the Form N-PX filings and their submission receipts are maintained according to Amundi US record keeping policies.

Proxy Voting Guidelines

Administrative

While administrative items appear infrequently in U.S. issuer proxies, they are quite common in non-U.S. proxies.

We will generally support these and similar management proposals:

 

   

Corporate name change.

 

   

A change of corporate headquarters.

 

   

Stock exchange listing.

 

   

Establishment of time and place of annual meeting.

 

   

Adjournment or postponement of annual meeting.

 

   

Acceptance/approval of financial statements.

 

   

Approval of dividend payments, dividend reinvestment plans and other dividend-related proposals.

 

   

Approval of minutes and other formalities.

 

15


   

Authorization of the transferring of reserves and allocation of income.

 

   

Amendments to authorized signatories.

 

   

Approval of accounting method changes or change in fiscal year-end.

 

   

Acceptance of labor agreements.

 

   

Appointment of internal auditors.

Amundi US will vote on a case-by-case basis on other routine administrative items; however, Amundi US will oppose any routine proposal if insufficient information is presented in advance to allow Amundi US to judge the merit of the proposal. Amundi US has also instructed its proxy voting service to inform Amundi US of its analysis of any administrative items that may be inconsistent, in its view, with Amundi US’s goal of supporting the value of its clients’ portfolio holdings so that Amundi US may consider and vote on those items on a case-by-case basis in its discretion.

Auditors

We normally vote for proposals to:

Ratify the auditors. We will consider a vote against if we are concerned about the auditors’ independence or their past work for the company. Specifically, we will oppose the ratification of auditors and withhold votes for audit committee members if non-audit fees paid by the company to the auditing firm exceed the sum of audit fees plus audit-related fees plus permissible tax fees according to the disclosure categories proposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

   

Restore shareholder rights to ratify the auditors.

We will normally oppose proposals that require companies to:

 

   

Seek bids from other auditors.

 

   

Rotate auditing firms, except where the rotation is statutorily required or where rotation would demonstrably strengthen financial disclosure.

 

   

Indemnify auditors.

 

   

Prohibit auditors from engaging in non-audit services for the company.

Board of Directors

On issues related to the board of directors, Amundi US normally supports management. We will, however, consider a vote against management in instances where corporate performance has been poor or where the board appears to lack independence.

General Board Issues

Amundi US will vote for:

 

   

Audit, compensation and nominating committees composed of independent directors exclusively.

 

   

Indemnification for directors for actions taken in good faith in accordance with the business judgment rule. We will vote against proposals for broader indemnification.

 

   

Changes in board size that appear to have a legitimate business purpose and are not primarily for anti-takeover reasons.

 

   

Election of an honorary director.

We will vote against:

 

   

Minimum stock ownership by directors.

 

   

Term limits for directors. Companies benefit from experienced directors, and shareholder control is better achieved through annual votes.

 

   

Requirements for union or special interest representation on the board.

 

   

Requirements to provide two candidates for each board seat.

We will vote on a case-by case basis on these issues:

 

   

Separate chairman and CEO positions. We will consider voting with shareholders on these issues in cases of poor corporate performance.

 

16


Elections of Directors

In uncontested elections of directors we will vote against:

 

   

Individual directors with absenteeism above 25% without valid reason. We support proposals that require disclosure of director attendance.

 

   

Insider directors and affiliated outsiders who sit on the audit, compensation, stock option or nominating committees. For the purposes of our policy, we use the definition of affiliated directors provided by our proxy voting service.

We will also vote against:

 

   

Directors who have failed to act on a takeover offer where the majority of shareholders have tendered their shares.

 

   

Directors who appear to lack independence or are associated with poor corporate or governance performance.

We will vote on a case-by case basis on these issues:

Re-election of directors who have implemented or renewed a dead hand or modified dead-hand poison pill (a “dead-hand poison pill” is a shareholder rights plan that may be altered only by incumbent or “dead” directors. These plans prevent a potential acquirer from disabling a poison pill by obtaining control of the board through a proxy vote).

 

   

Contested election of directors.

 

   

Election of a greater number of independent directors (in order to move closer to a majority of independent directors) in cases of poor performance.

 

   

Mandatory retirement policies.

 

   

Directors who have ignored a shareholder proposal that has been approved by shareholders for two consecutive years.

We will vote for:

 

   

Precatory and binding resolutions requesting that the board changes the company’s bylaws to stipulate that directors need to be elected with affirmative majority of votes cast, provided that the resolutions allow for plurality voting in cases of contested elections.

Takeover-Related Measures

Amundi US is generally opposed to proposals that may discourage takeover attempts. We believe that the potential for a takeover helps ensure that corporate performance remains high.

Amundi US will vote for:

 

   

Cumulative voting.

 

   

Increasing the ability for shareholders to call special meetings.

 

   

Increasing the ability for shareholders to act by written consent.

 

   

Restrictions on the ability to make greenmail payments.

 

   

Submitting rights plans to shareholder vote.

 

   

Rescinding shareholder rights plans (“poison pills”).

 

   

Opting out of the following state takeover statutes:

 

   

Control share acquisition statutes, which deny large holders voting rights on holdings over a specified threshold.

 

   

Control share cash-out provisions, which require large holders to acquire shares from other holders.

 

   

Freeze-out provisions, which impose a waiting period on large holders before they can attempt to gain control.

 

   

Stakeholder laws, which permit directors to consider interests of non-shareholder constituencies.

 

   

Disgorgement provisions, which require acquirers to disgorge profits on purchases made before gaining control.

 

   

Fair price provisions.

 

17


   

Authorization of shareholder rights plans.

 

   

Labor protection provisions.

 

   

Mandatory classified boards.

We will vote on a case-by-case basis on the following issues:

 

   

Fair price provisions. We will vote against provisions requiring supermajority votes to approve takeovers. We will also consider voting against proposals that require a supermajority vote to repeal or amend the provision. Finally, we will consider the mechanism used to determine the fair price; we are generally opposed to complicated formulas or requirements to pay a premium.

 

   

Opting out of state takeover statutes regarding fair price provisions. We will use the criteria used for fair price provisions in general to determine our vote on this issue.

 

   

Proposals that allow shareholders to nominate directors.

We will vote against:

 

   

Classified boards, except in the case of closed-end funds, where we shall vote on a case-by-case basis.

 

   

Limiting shareholder ability to remove or appoint directors. We will support proposals to restore shareholder authority in this area. We will review on case-by-case basis proposals that authorize the board to make interim appointments.

 

   

Classes of shares with unequal voting rights.

 

   

Supermajority vote requirements.

 

   

Severance packages (“golden” and “tin” parachutes). We will support proposals to put these packages to shareholder vote.

 

   

Reimbursement of dissident proxy solicitation expenses. While we ordinarily support measures that encourage takeover bids, we believe that management should have full control over corporate funds.

 

   

Extension of advance notice requirements for shareholder proposals.

 

   

Granting board authority normally retained by shareholders, particularly the right to amend the corporate charter.

 

   

Shareholder rights plans (“poison pills”). These plans generally allow shareholders to buy additional shares at a below-market price in the event of a change in control and may deter some bids.

Capital Structure

Managements need considerable flexibility in determining the company’s financial structure, and Amundi US normally supports managements’ proposals in this area. We will, however, reject proposals that impose high barriers to potential takeovers.

Amundi US will vote for:

 

   

Changes in par value.

 

   

Reverse splits, if accompanied by a reduction in number of shares.

 

   

Shares repurchase programs, if all shareholders may participate on equal terms.

 

   

Bond issuance.

 

   

Increases in “ordinary” preferred stock.

 

   

Proposals to have blank-check common stock placements (other than shares issued in the normal course of business) submitted for shareholder approval.

 

   

Cancellation of company treasury shares.

We will vote on a case-by-case basis on the following issues:

 

   

Reverse splits not accompanied by a reduction in number of shares, considering the risk of delisting.

 

   

Increase in authorized common stock. We will make a determination considering, among other factors:

 

   

Number of shares currently available for issuance;

 

   

Size of requested increase (we would normally approve increases of up to 100% of current authorization);

 

18


   

Proposed use of the proceeds from the issuance of additional shares; and

 

   

Potential consequences of a failure to increase the number of shares outstanding (e.g., delisting or bankruptcy).

 

   

Blank-check preferred. We will normally oppose issuance of a new class of blank-check preferred, but may approve an increase in a class already outstanding if the company has demonstrated that it uses this flexibility appropriately.

 

   

Proposals to submit private placements to shareholder vote.

 

   

Other financing plans.

We will vote against preemptive rights that we believe limit a company’s financing flexibility.

Compensation

Amundi US supports compensation plans that link pay to shareholder returns and believes that management has the best understanding of the level of compensation needed to attract and retain qualified people. At the same time, stock-related compensation plans have a significant economic impact and a direct effect on the balance sheet. Therefore, while we do not want to micromanage a company’s compensation programs, we place limits on the potential dilution these plans may impose.

Amundi US will vote for:

 

   

401(k) benefit plans.

 

   

Employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs), as long as shares allocated to ESOPs are less than 5% of outstanding shares. Larger blocks of stock in ESOPs can serve as a takeover defense. We will support proposals to submit ESOPs to shareholder vote.

 

   

Various issues related to the Omnibus Budget and Reconciliation Act of 1993 (OBRA), including:

 

   

Amendments to performance plans to conform with OBRA;

 

   

Caps on annual grants or amendments of administrative features;

 

   

Adding performance goals; and

 

   

Cash or cash-and-stock bonus plans.

 

   

Establish a process to link pay, including stock-option grants, to performance, leaving specifics of implementation to the company.

 

   

Require that option repricing be submitted to shareholders.

 

   

Require the expensing of stock-option awards.

 

   

Require reporting of executive retirement benefits (deferred compensation, split-dollar life insurance, SERPs, and pension benefits).

 

   

Employee stock purchase plans where the purchase price is equal to at least 85% of the market price, where the offering period is no greater than 27 months and where potential dilution (as defined below) is no greater than 10%.

We will vote on a case-by-case basis on the following issues:

 

   

Shareholder proposals seeking additional disclosure of executive and director pay information.

 

   

Executive and director stock-related compensation plans. We will consider the following factors when reviewing these plans:

 

   

The program must be of a reasonable size. We will approve plans where the combined employee and director plans together would generate less than 15% dilution. We will reject plans with 15% or more potential dilution.

 

   

Dilution = (A + B + C) / (A + B + C + D), where

 

   

A = Shares reserved for plan/amendment,

 

   

B = Shares available under continuing plans,

 

   

C = Shares granted but unexercised and

 

   

D = Shares outstanding.

 

   

The plan must not:

 

   

Explicitly permit unlimited option repricing authority or have allowed option repricing in the past without shareholder approval.

 

19


   

Be a self-replenishing “evergreen” plan or a plan that grants discount options and tax offset payments.

 

   

We are generally in favor of proposals that increase participation beyond executives.

 

   

We generally support proposals asking companies to adopt rigorous vesting provisions for stock option plans such as those that vest incrementally over, at least, a three- or four-year period with a pro rata portion of the shares becoming exercisable on an annual basis following grant date.

 

   

We generally support proposals asking companies to disclose their window period policies for stock transactions. Window period policies ensure that employees do not exercise options based on insider information contemporaneous with quarterly earnings releases and other material corporate announcements.

 

   

We generally support proposals asking companies to adopt stock holding periods for their executives.

 

   

All other employee stock purchase plans.

 

   

All other compensation-related proposals, including deferred compensation plans, employment agreements, loan guarantee programs and retirement plans.

 

   

All other proposals regarding stock compensation plans, including extending the life of a plan, changing vesting restrictions, repricing options, lengthening exercise periods or accelerating distribution of awards and pyramiding and cashless exercise programs.

We will vote against:

 

   

Pensions for non-employee directors. We believe these retirement plans reduce director objectivity.

 

   

Elimination of stock option plans.

We will vote on a case-by case basis on these issues:

 

   

Limits on executive and director pay.

 

   

Stock in lieu of cash compensation for directors.

Corporate Governance

Amundi US will vote for:

 

   

Confidential voting.

 

   

Equal access provisions, which allow shareholders to contribute their opinions to proxy materials.

 

   

Proposals requiring directors to disclose their ownership of shares in the company.

We will vote on a case-by-case basis on the following issues:

 

   

Change in the state of incorporation. We will support reincorporations supported by valid business reasons. We will oppose those that appear to be solely for the purpose of strengthening takeover defenses.

 

   

Bundled proposals. We will evaluate the overall impact of the proposal.

 

   

Adopting or amending the charter, bylaws or articles of association.

 

   

Shareholder appraisal rights, which allow shareholders to demand judicial review of an acquisition price.

We will vote against:

 

   

Shareholder advisory committees. While management should solicit shareholder input, we prefer to leave the method of doing so to management’s discretion.

 

   

Limitations on stock ownership or voting rights.

 

   

Reduction in share ownership disclosure guidelines.

Mergers and Restructurings

Amundi US will vote on the following and similar issues on a case-by-case basis:

 

   

Mergers and acquisitions.

 

   

Corporate restructurings, including spin-offs, liquidations, asset sales, joint ventures, conversions to holding company and conversions to self-managed REIT structure.

 

20


   

Debt restructurings.

 

   

Conversion of securities.

 

   

Issuance of shares to facilitate a merger.

 

   

Private placements, warrants, convertible debentures.

 

   

Proposals requiring management to inform shareholders of merger opportunities.

We will normally vote against shareholder proposals requiring that the company be put up for sale.

Investment Companies

Many of our portfolios may invest in shares of closed-end funds or open-end funds (including exchange-traded funds). The non-corporate structure of these investments raises several unique proxy voting issues.

Amundi US will vote for:

 

   

Establishment of new classes or series of shares.

 

   

Establishment of a master-feeder structure.

Amundi US will vote on a case-by-case basis on:

 

   

Changes in investment policy. We will normally support changes that do not affect the investment objective or overall risk level of the fund. We will examine more fundamental changes on a case-by-case basis.

 

   

Approval of new or amended advisory contracts.

 

   

Changes from closed-end to open-end format.

 

   

Election of a greater number of independent directors.

 

   

Authorization for, or increase in, preferred shares.

 

   

Disposition of assets, termination, liquidation, or mergers.

 

   

Classified boards of closed-end funds, but will typically support such proposals.

In general, business development companies (BDCs) are not considered investment companies for these purposes but are treated as corporate issuers.

Environmental and Social Issues

Amundi US believes that environmental and social issues may influence corporate performance and economic return. Indeed, by analyzing all of a company’s risks and opportunities, Amundi US can better assess its intrinsic value and long-term economic prospects.

When evaluating proxy proposals relating to environmental or social issues, decisions are made on a case-by-case basis. We consider each of these proposals based on the impact to the company’s shareholders and economic return, the specific circumstances at each individual company, any potentially adverse economic concerns, and the current policies and practices of the company.

For example, shareholder proposals relating to environmental and social issues, and on which we will vote on a base-by-case basis, may include those seeking that a company:

 

   

Conduct studies regarding certain environmental or social issues;

 

   

Study the feasibility of the company taking certain actions with regard to such issues; or

 

   

Take specific action, including adopting or ceasing certain behavior and adopting company standards and principles, in relation to such issues.

In general, Amundi US believes these issues are important and should receive management attention.

Amundi US will support proposals where we believe the proposal, if implemented, would improve the prospects for the long-term success of the business and would provide value to the company and its shareholders. Amundi US may abstain on shareholder proposals with regard to environmental and social issues in cases where we believe the proposal, if implemented, would not be in the economic interests of the company, or where implementing the proposal would constrain management flexibility or would be unduly difficult, burdensome or costly.

 

21


When evaluating proxy proposals relating to environmental or social issues, Amundi US may consider the following factors or other factors deemed relevant, given such weight as deemed appropriate:

 

   

approval of the proposal helps improve the company’s practices;

 

   

approval of the proposal can improve shareholder value;

 

   

the company’s current stance on the topic is likely to have negative effects on its business position or reputation in the short, medium, or long term;

 

   

the company has already put appropriate action in place to respond to the issue contained in the proposal;

 

   

the company’s reasoning against approving the proposal responds appropriately to the various points mentioned by the shareholder when the proposal was presented;

 

   

the solutions recommended in the proposal are relevant and appropriate, and if the topic of the proposal would not be better addressed through another means.

In the event of failures in risk management relating to environmental and social issues, Amundi US may vote against the election of directors responsible for overseeing these areas.

Amundi US will vote against proposals calling for substantial changes in the company’s business or activities. We will also normally vote against proposals with regard to contributions, believing that management should control the routine disbursement of funds.

Conflicts of interest

Amundi US recognizes that in certain circumstances a conflict of interest may arise when Amundi US votes a proxy.

A conflict of interest occurs when Amundi US’s interests interfere, or appear to interfere, with the interests of Amundi US’s clients.

A conflict may be actual or perceived and may exist, for example, when the matter to be voted on concerns:

 

   

An affiliate of Amundi US, such as another company belonging to the Credit Agricole banking group ( “Credit Agricole Affiliate”);

 

   

An issuer of a security for which Amundi US acts as a sponsor, advisor, manager, custodian, distributor, underwriter, broker, or other similar capacity (including those securities specifically declared by its parent Amundi to present a conflict of interest for Amundi US);

 

   

An issuer of a security for which Amundi has informed Amundi US that a Credit Agricole Affiliate acts as a sponsor, advisor, manager, custodian, distributor, underwriter, broker, or other similar capacity; or

 

   

A person with whom Amundi US (or any of its affiliates) has an existing, material contract or business relationship.

Any member of the Proxy Voting Oversight Group and any other associate involved in the proxy voting process with knowledge of any apparent or actual conflict of interest must disclose such conflict to the Proxy Coordinator and the Chief Compliance Officer of Amundi US and the Funds. If any associate is lobbied or pressured with respect to any voting decision, whether within or outside of Amundi US, he or she should contact a member of the Proxy Voting Oversight Group or Amundi US’s Chief Compliance Officer.

The Proxy Voting Oversight Group will review each item referred to Amundi US by the proxy voting service to determine whether an actual or potential conflict of interest exists in connection with the proposal(s) to be voted upon. The review will be conducted by comparing the apparent parties affected by the proxy proposal being voted upon against the Controller’s and Compliance Department’s internal list of interested persons and, for any matches found, evaluating the anticipated magnitude and possible probability of any conflict of interest being present. The Proxy Voting Oversight Group may cause any of the following actions to be taken when a conflict of interest is present:

 

   

Vote the proxy in accordance with the vote indicated under “Voting Guidelines,” if a vote is indicated, or

 

22


   

Direct the independent proxy voting service to vote the proxy in accordance with its independent assessment or that of another independent adviser appointed by Amundi US or the applicable client for this purpose.

If the Proxy Voting Oversight Group perceives a material conflict of interest, the Group may also choose to disclose the conflict to the affected clients and solicit their consent to proceed with the vote or their direction (including through a client’s fiduciary or other adviser), or may take such other action in good faith (in consultation with counsel) that would protect the interests of clients.

For each referral item, the determination regarding the presence or absence of any actual or potential conflict of interest will be documented in a Conflicts of Interest Report prepared by the Proxy Coordinator.

The Proxy Voting Oversight Group will review periodically the independence of the proxy voting service. This may include a review of the service’s conflict management procedures and other documentation and an evaluation as to whether the service continues to have the competency and capacity to vote proxies.

Decisions Not to Vote Proxies

Although it is Amundi US’s general policy to vote all proxies in accordance with the principles set forth in this policy, there may be situations in which the Proxy Voting Oversight Group does not vote a proxy referred to it. For example, because of the potential conflict of interest inherent in voting shares of a Credit Agricole Affiliate, Amundi US will abstain from voting the shares unless otherwise directed by a client. In such a case, the Proxy Coordinator will inform Amundi Compliance before exercising voting rights.

There exist other situations in which the Proxy Voting Oversight Group may refrain from voting a proxy. For example, if the cost of voting a foreign security outweighs the benefit of voting, the Group may not vote the proxy. The Group may not be given enough time to process a vote, perhaps because it receives a meeting notice too late or it cannot obtain a translation of the agenda in the time available. If Amundi US has outstanding “sell” orders, the proxies for shares subject to the order may not be voted to facilitate the sale. Although Amundi US may hold shares on a company’s record date, if the shares are sold prior to the meeting date the Group may decide not to vote those shares.

Supervision

Escalation

It is each associate’s responsibility to contact his or her business unit head, the Proxy Coordinator, a member of the Proxy Voting Oversight Group or Amundi US’s Chief Compliance Officer if he or she becomes aware of any possible noncompliance with this policy.

Training

Amundi US will conduct periodic training regarding proxy voting and this policy. It is the responsibility of the business line policy owner and the applicable Compliance Department to coordinate and conduct such training.

Related policies and procedures

Amundi US’s Books and Records Policy and the Books and Records of the Pioneer Funds’ Policy.

Record Keeping

The Proxy Coordinator shall ensure that Amundi US’s proxy voting service:

 

   

Retains a copy of each proxy statement received (unless the proxy statement is available from the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) system);

 

   

Retains a record of the vote cast;

 

   

Prepares Form N-PX for filing on behalf of each client that is a registered investment company; and

 

   

Is able to promptly provide Amundi US with a copy of the voting record upon its request.

The Proxy Coordinator shall ensure that for those votes that may require additional documentation (i.e. conflicts of interest, exception votes and case-by-case votes) the following records are maintained:

 

   

A record memorializing the basis for each referral vote cast;

 

23


   

A copy of any document created by Amundi US that was material in making the decision on how to vote the subject proxy;

 

   

A copy of any recommendation or analysis furnished by the proxy voting service; and

 

   

A copy of any conflict notice, conflict consent or any other written communication (including emails or other electronic communications) to or from the client (or in the case of an employee benefit plan, the plan’s director or other fiduciaries) regarding the subject proxy vote cast by, or the vote recommendation of, Amundi US.

Amundi US shall maintain the above records in the client’s file in accordance with applicable regulations.

Potential conflicts of interest

When a portfolio manager is responsible for the management of more than one account, the potential arises for the portfolio manager to favor one account over another. The principal types of potential conflicts of interest that may arise are discussed below. For the reasons outlined below, Amundi US does not believe that any material conflicts are likely to arise out of a portfolio manager’s responsibility for the management of the fund as well as one or more other accounts. Although Amundi US has adopted procedures that it believes are reasonably designed to detect and prevent violations of the federal securities laws and to mitigate the potential for conflicts of interest to affect its portfolio management decisions, there can be no assurance that all conflicts will be identified or that all procedures will be effective in mitigating the potential for such risks. Generally, the risks of such conflicts of interest are increased to the extent that a portfolio manager has a financial incentive to favor one account over another. Amundi US has structured its compensation arrangements in a manner that is intended to limit such potential for conflicts of interest. See “Compensation of Portfolio Managers” below.

 

25


   

A portfolio manager could favor one account over another in allocating new investment opportunities that have limited supply, such as initial public offerings and private placements. If, for example, an initial public offering that was expected to appreciate in value significantly shortly after the offering was allocated to a single account, that account may be expected to have better investment performance than other accounts that did not receive an allocation of the initial public offering. Generally, investments for which there is limited availability are allocated based upon a range of factors including available cash and consistency with the accounts’ investment objectives and policies. This allocation methodology necessarily involves some subjective elements but is intended over time to treat each client in an equitable and fair manner. Generally, the investment opportunity is allocated among participating accounts on a pro rata basis. Although Amundi US believes that its practices are reasonably designed to treat each client in an equitable and fair manner, there may be instances where a fund may not participate, or may participate to a lesser degree than other clients, in the allocation of an investment opportunity.

 

   

A portfolio manager could favor one account over another in the order in which trades for the accounts are placed. If a portfolio manager determines to purchase a security for more than one account in an aggregate amount that may influence the market price of the security, accounts that purchased or sold the security first may receive a more favorable price than accounts that made subsequent transactions. The less liquid the market for the security or the greater the percentage that the proposed aggregate purchases or sales represent of average daily trading volume, the greater the potential for accounts that make subsequent purchases or sales to receive a less favorable price. When a portfolio manager intends to trade the same security on the same day for more than one account, the trades typically are “bunched,” which means that the trades for the individual accounts are aggregated and each account receives the same price. There are some types of accounts as to which bunching may not be possible for contractual reasons (such as directed brokerage arrangements). Circumstances may also arise where the trader believes that bunching the orders may not result in the best possible price. Where those accounts or circumstances are involved, Amundi US will place the order in a manner intended to result in as favorable a price as possible for such client.

 

   

A portfolio manager could favor an account if the portfolio manager’s compensation is tied to the performance of that account to a greater degree than other accounts managed by the portfolio manager. If, for example, the portfolio manager receives a bonus based upon the performance of certain accounts relative to a benchmark while other accounts are disregarded for this purpose, the portfolio manager will have a financial incentive to seek to have the accounts that determine the portfolio manager’s bonus achieve the best possible performance to the possible detriment of other accounts. Similarly, if Amundi US receives a performance-based advisory fee, the portfolio manager may favor that account, whether or not the performance of that account directly determines the portfolio manager’s compensation.

 

   

A portfolio manager could favor an account if the portfolio manager has a beneficial interest in the account, in order to benefit a large client or to compensate a client that had poor returns. For example, if the portfolio manager held an interest in an investment partnership that was one of the accounts managed by the portfolio manager, the portfolio manager would have an economic incentive to favor the account in which the portfolio manager held an interest.

 

   

If the different accounts have materially and potentially conflicting investment objectives or strategies, a conflict of interest could arise. For example, if a portfolio manager purchases a security for one account and sells the same security for another account, such trading pattern may disadvantage either the account that is long or short. In making portfolio manager assignments, Amundi US seeks to avoid such potentially conflicting situations. However, where a portfolio manager is responsible for accounts with differing investment objectives and policies, it is possible that the portfolio manager will conclude that it is in the best interest of one account to sell a portfolio security while another account continues to hold or increase the holding in such security.

Compensation of portfolio manager

Amundi US has adopted a system of compensation for portfolio managers that seeks to align the financial interests of the portfolio managers with those of shareholders of the accounts (including Pioneer funds) the portfolio managers manage, as well as with the financial performance of Amundi US. The compensation program for all Amundi US portfolio managers includes a base salary (determined by the rank and tenure

 

26


of the employee) and an annual bonus program, as well as customary benefits that are offered generally to all full-time employees. Base compensation is fixed and normally reevaluated on an annual basis. Amundi US seeks to set base compensation at market rates, taking into account the experience and responsibilities of the portfolio manager. The bonus plan is intended to provide a competitive level of annual bonus compensation that is tied to the portfolio manager achieving superior investment performance and align the interests of the investment professional with those of shareholders, as well as with the financial performance of Amundi US. Any bonus under the plan is completely discretionary, with a maximum annual bonus that may be in excess of base salary. The annual bonus is based upon a combination of the following factors:

 

   

Quantitative investment performance. The quantitative investment performance calculation is based on pre-tax investment performance of all of the accounts managed by the portfolio manager (which includes the fund and any other accounts managed by the portfolio manager) over a one-year period (20% weighting) and four-year period (80% weighting), measured for periods ending on December 31. The accounts, which include the fund, are ranked against a group of mutual funds with similar investment objectives and investment focus (60%) and a broad-based securities market index measuring the performance of the same type of securities in which the accounts invest (40%), which, in the case of the fund, is the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index and Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Municipal High Yield Bond Index. As a result of these two benchmarks, the performance of the portfolio manager for compensation purposes is measured against the criteria that are relevant to the portfolio manager’s competitive universe.

 

   

Qualitative performance. The qualitative performance component with respect to all of the accounts managed by the portfolio manager includes objectives, such as effectiveness in the areas of teamwork, leadership, communications and marketing, that are mutually established and evaluated by each portfolio manager and management.

 

   

Amundi US results and business line results. Amundi US’s financial performance, as well as the investment performance of its investment management group, affect a portfolio manager’s actual bonus by a leverage factor of plus or minus (+/–) a predetermined percentage.

The quantitative and qualitative performance components comprise 80% and 20%, respectively, of the overall bonus calculation (on a pre-adjustment basis). A portion of the annual bonus is deferred for a specified period and may be invested in one or more Pioneer funds.

Certain portfolio managers participate in other programs designed to reward and retain key contributors. Portfolio managers also may participate in a deferred compensation program, whereby deferred amounts are invested in one or more Pioneer funds or collective investment trusts or other unregistered funds with similar investment objectives, strategies and policies.
