Major stock and bond indexes produced mixed results during your fund’s fiscal year, the 12-month period ended February 28, 2022. Strong corporate earnings growth and a recovering economy contended with worries about inflation, new coronavirus variants, expectations of aggressive central bank tightening, and escalating geopolitical tensions.

Financial markets entered the period on an upbeat note, as the U.S. Congress expanded its coronavirus relief efforts with the passage of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act in March. Record levels of fiscal stimulus, combined with an accelerating global vaccine rollout, helped propel a robust economic recovery and a rise in equity indexes. Weekly jobless claims declined steadily to new pandemic-era lows during the second quarter of 2021. The improved labor market and renewed stimulus efforts were reflected in higher consumer spending. A robust increase in corporate earnings growth also drove markets for much of 2021. However, earnings tailwinds showed signs of fading heading into 2022, as certain high-profile companies issued weaker-than-expected earnings reports or financial projections.

Concerns over inflation began to intensify in the latter half of the period. Persistent supply chain problems, including soaring shipping costs, raised prices for both raw materials and finished goods, while the release of pent-up demand for travel, recreation, and other services also pushed prices higher. In the U.S., consumer prices rose by 7.5% in the 12-month period ended in January 2022, the most since 1982.

Meanwhile, central banks began to move away from the extremely accommodative policies they instituted in response to the initial wave of the coronavirus. Federal Reserve officials began tapering the central bank’s purchases of Treasuries and agency mortgage-backed securities in November, and markets priced in a much more aggressive pace of rate hikes than previously expected as inflation remained elevated.

Markets were caught by surprise at the end of the period when Russia launched a large-scale military offensive into Ukraine. Amid the humanitarian crisis caused by the invasion, global equity markets moved sharply lower. Defensive stocks outperformed amid a flight to safety, while energy prices and market volatility spiked. Financials and other cyclicals dependent on a healthy economy underperformed.

In the fixed income market, domestic bond returns were broadly negative over the course of the period, as yields rose across the Treasury yield curve—especially in the intermediate-term portion of the curve—amid expectations of aggressive monetary tightening. (Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions.) Municipal bonds finished the 12-month period with negative results but held up better than Treasuries and the broader U.S. investment-grade taxable bond market, as demand for tax-free income remained strong, new supply was manageable, and state and local governments benefited from an influx of federal cash and stronger-than-expected tax revenues. However, the sector faced headwinds in early 2022 as Treasury yields increased and fund flows turned negative.

Looking ahead, the geopolitical turmoil in Ukraine has understandably raised investor and humanitarian concerns around the globe and increased market volatility and uncertainty. In light of the tragic events unfolding in Ukraine, we believe volatility in the market is likely to continue. Supply chain issues and inflation pressures are also likely to persist for longer, complicating the already difficult task of central banks trying to tackle price pressures and engineer a soft landing. Past performance of markets shows that the beginning of a policy rate-hiking cycle does not necessarily derail the U.S. stock or bond markets, nor the U.S. dollar. However, this past performance does not guarantee that those markets will perform well at the beginning of the next hiking cycle.

On the positive side, we believe that household wealth gains, pent-up consumer demand, and a potential boom in capital expenditures could sustain growth even as monetary policy turns less supportive. In this environment, our investment teams will remain focused on using fundamental research to identify companies that we believe can add value to your portfolio over the long term.

The fund seeks to provide preservation of capital, liquidity, and, consistent with these objectives, the highest current income exempt from federal income taxes.

The Tax-Exempt Money Fund returned 0.02% for the 12 months ended February 28, 2022, performing in line with the Lipper Tax-Exempt Money Market Funds Index. (I Class shares of the fund also returned 0.02%. Past performance cannot guarantee future results.)

Tax-exempt money market yields remained compressed by continued monetary policy accommodation from the Federal Reserve (Fed) and record-setting cash flows into municipal bond funds during 2021, which strengthened demand for municipal securities broadly. However, yields trended higher late in the reporting period as bond fund flows reversed sharply and the supply of short-term municipal securities held by dealers swelled.

Following a persistent acceleration in inflation measures, expectations for aggressive Fed policy tightening in 2022 sparked this shift in the municipal market’s technical conditions and led to a steepening of the money market yield curve. Accordingly, one-year municipal rates jumped to 0.81% from 0.12% over the reporting period, while securities with seven-day maturities traded around 0.20% by the end of February 2022, up from 0.03% one year earlier.

Variable rate demand notes (VRDNs) with maturities of one to seven days remained the fund’s largest allocation, composing roughly 58% of its net assets as of the period-end. By comparison, the portfolio’s exposure to fixed rate notes, bonds, and commercial paper with maturities out to 90 days totaled approximately 33% of its net assets as of February 28, 2022.

The fund’s weighted average maturity (WAM) fluctuated throughout the period as we sought to appropriately balance investments in longer-dated money market securities with VRDN holdings. Still, we maintained a general preference for the very front end of the yield curve, reflecting our view that VRDNs should provide us with the flexibility to take advantage of higher yields following anticipated Fed interest rate hikes. As of February 28, 2022, the portfolio had a WAM of 28 days, down from 36 days at the start of the reporting period.

In terms of sector allocations, we kept a meaningful position in revenue-backed health care issues. Notable purchases in this market segment included Montgomery County (Maryland) securities issued for Trinity Health and Maryland Economic Development Corporation variable rate securities issued for the Howard Hughes Health Institute. Among other areas of the market, we added New York City Housing Development Corporation VRDNs and State of Minnesota general obligations to the portfolio. (Please refer to the portfolio of investments for a complete list of holdings and the amount each represents in the portfolio.)

Beginning with a quarter-point interest rate increase at its March 2022 policy meeting, the Fed has signaled that a rate-hiking cycle is now underway in an attempt to curb inflation pressures. However, uncertainty surrounding economic growth and geopolitical stability could potentially alter the pace of the central bank’s monetary tightening. As a result, we are pursuing a strategy that, in our view, will allow the fund to respond quickly to changes in the interest rate outlook, an increase in new issuance, or shifts in cash flow patterns. We believe the fund’s positioning is appropriate in this environment.

As always, we remain committed to managing a high-quality, diversified portfolio focused on liquidity and stability of principal, which we deem of utmost importance to our shareholders.

The fund seeks to provide, consistent with modest price fluctuation, a high level of income exempt from federal income taxes by investing primarily in short- and intermediate-term investment-grade municipal securities.

The Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Fund returned -1.45% over the 12 months ended February 28, 2022. The fund modestly underperformed the Bloomberg 1–5 Year Blend (1–6 Year Maturity) Index but fared marginally better than its Lipper peer group average. (Results for Advisor and I Class shares varied, reflecting their different fee structures. Past performance cannot guarantee future results.)

Record-setting cash flows into municipal bond funds and direct federal aid to states and localities propelled positive returns for tax-exempt bonds in 2021. However, as the calendar year turned, signals that the Federal Reserve (Fed) would accelerate its monetary tightening plans in response to mounting inflation caused interest rates to surge higher, leading to a sharp sell-off in municipal bonds at the start of 2022. This downturn, aggravated by a reversal in fund flows industrywide, erased the broad market’s gains from earlier in the reporting period.

While rising rates hampered the fund’s absolute returns, our interest rate management benefited its relative performance. We kept the fund’s duration—a key measure of its interest rate sensitivity—modestly shorter than the benchmark’s duration, reflecting our view that short- and intermediate-term yields could climb as the Fed prepared to roll back its ultra-accommodative policy. This positioning ultimately aided relative returns as yields snapped higher. Additionally, the fund had an overweight to bonds with 10-year maturities, which supported results as yields of 10-year bonds increased less than those of shorter maturities.

Our investments in the general obligation sector slightly dented relative performance, as did our selections of seaport and lease revenue bonds. However, credit selection in the revenue sector, more broadly, supported relative performance, driven by contributions from Puerto Rico sales tax bonds (COFINA) and hospital debt. (Please refer to the portfolio of investments for a complete list of holdings and the amount each represents in the portfolio.)

Asset allocation advanced relative returns, led by an underweight to the higher-quality, lower-yielding prerefunded sector. Positioning in the revenue sector also supported results, albeit marginally, largely due to an overweight to life care revenue bonds.

From a sector perspective, transportation remained the fund’s largest position. Among transportation segments, we maintain a favorable outlook on mid-size and large airports as well as major toll roads, with revenue bonds issued for Philadelphia International Airport and Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority representing sizable purchases during the period.

Substantial debt service reserve accounts and federal aid underpin our conviction in the debt-servicing capacity of larger airports, which were notable beneficiaries of coronavirus relief bills and the recently passed Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Additionally, we feel that widespread vaccine availability has helped to meaningfully restore demand for air travel, evidenced by domestic flight volume this past holiday season approaching pre-pandemic levels.

Similarly, our conviction in toll-backed bonds is bolstered by the strong government support that managed lane projects have received historically, as well as the resiliency of toll usage through the pandemic compared with public transit alternatives. We particularly favor projects located in rapidly expanding metropolitan areas but also maintain a positive outlook on toll operators in some slow-growth legacy markets due to their pricing power and solid liquidity profiles.

We also preserved the fund’s allocation to the health care subsector, adding credits such as California Statewide Community Development Authority revenue bonds—issued for Kaiser Permanente—to the portfolio. Although our long-term view of nonprofit hospital debt remains constructive, we see potential for staffing shortages and corresponding labor cost pressures to challenge the sector in the near term.

In the face of these headwinds, we believe that hospitals with strong balance sheets and skilled management teams will likely possess a competitive advantage in navigating the post-pandemic era. Specifically, we feel that large cash cushions, considerable federal funding, and an ability to effectively balance operational excellence and cost controls should serve as a fiscal bridge for many of these issuers until operating conditions and wage gains normalize.

There were no material changes in the fund’s credit quality diversification. As noted in the fund’s semiannual report, we grew somewhat more cautious on lower-rated market segments in 2021 based on our view that credit spreads, which reached historically tight levels last year, were unlikely to compress much further. (Credit spreads are the yield differences between higher- and lower-quality bonds of similar maturity.) Consequently, we migrated toward AA rated debt as we saw potential for waning fiscal and monetary stimulus to weigh on the elevated valuations of mid- and lower-quality bonds.

Near the conclusion of the reporting period, we began to observe better buying opportunities in the lower range of the investment-grade spectrum amid a material widening of credit spreads—including those in our favorite sectors. Moreover, we saw particularly attractive valuations at the longer end of the short-intermediate yield curve as the market repriced to higher rates, although the entire municipal curve, in our assessment, offered fair value by the end of the period when measured against U.S. Treasuries.

Compared with the benchmark, the A and BBB rating segments continued to represent overweight positions for the fund, reflecting our belief that these parts of the market often present opportunities to earn incremental risk-adjusted yield. We also kept a very small allocation to non-investment-grade bonds (rated BB or lower), which was intended to enhance the portfolio’s yield profile, as well as modest exposure to unrated credits.

Accelerating inflation and geopolitical turmoil have amplified risks to the global economy, sparking a series of volatile moves across asset classes. The municipal bond market has not been immune to these macro developments, evidenced by its rates-driven sell-off at the beginning of this year and subsequent price swings.

In this environment, moderate new issuance has helped alleviate pressures from municipal fund outflows industrywide, but we believe that primary market activity could increase this spring. Although we see potential for technical headwinds to persist over the near term and anticipate additional bouts of interest rate volatility in 2022, we feel that strong fiscal conditions for states and localities leave municipal bonds better positioned for a tenuous investment landscape than most fixed income sectors.

News surrounding the Russia-Ukraine crisis, inflation, and monetary policy will likely dominate headlines in the coming months, and while we will continue to closely monitor these and other macroeconomic factors, we remain as focused as ever on bottom-up credit analysis. In our view, the recent downturn in the tax-exempt bond market has introduced compelling entry points in several segments, and we are maintaining liquidity to potentially take advantage of further pricing inefficiencies should they arise.

Ultimately, we will stay risk aware and disciplined in our fundamental, research-driven approach, which we believe will continue to serve our shareholders well.

The fund seeks to provide a high level of income exempt from federal income taxes by investing primarily in long-term investment-grade municipal securities.

The Tax-Free Income Fund returned 0.44% for the 12-month period ended February 28, 2022, outperforming its Bloomberg benchmark and its Lipper peer group average. (Results for Advisor and I Class shares varied, reflecting their different fee structures. Past performance cannot guarantee future results.)

Record-setting cash flows into municipal bond funds and direct federal aid to states and localities propelled positive returns for tax-exempt bonds in 2021. However, as the calendar year turned, signals that the Federal Reserve would accelerate its monetary tightening plans in response to mounting inflation caused interest rates to surge higher, leading to a sharp sell-off in municipal bonds at the start of 2022. This downturn, aggravated by a reversal in fund flows industrywide, erased the broad market’s earlier gains, although strong demand for higher-yielding debt in 2021 enabled lower-quality municipals to finish the reporting period with positive returns.

Against this backdrop, credit selection in several of our preferred market segments helped the fund outperform its benchmark. Namely, our selections of hospital, toll, and airport revenue bonds lifted relative returns, as did tactical investments in Puerto Rico-based debt.

The fund’s holdings of Puerto Rico sales tax revenue bonds (COFINA) and general obligations (GOs) added value amid economic growth for the U.S. territory and court approval of its debt restructuring plan. These contributions were partly offset by negative selections of life care revenue bonds. (Please refer to the portfolio of investments for a complete list of holdings and the amount each represents in the portfolio.)

Asset allocation advanced relative performance, driven largely by overweight exposures to the higher-yielding life care and hospital revenue subsectors, which continued to rebound from pandemic-related pressures in 2020. On the broad sector level, a structural underweight to GOs and a corresponding overweight to revenue bonds further supported results.

Our interest rate management benefited relative performance. As higher front-end rates drove a flattening of the municipal yield curve, overweight allocations to long-dated bonds and underweight exposures to short and intermediate maturities aided relative returns. Meanwhile, the fund’s duration—a key measure of its interest rate sensitivity—was modestly longer than the benchmark’s duration, and this positioning subtracted from results as yields broadly increased.

With credit spreads reaching historically tight levels in 2021 and economic growth slowing late in the period, we grew somewhat more cautious on lower-rated market segments. (Credit spreads are the yield differences between higher- and lower-quality bonds of similar maturity.)

Consequently, we increased the fund’s allocation to AA bonds at the expense of those in the A rating basket. Still, A rated bonds, as well as those rated BBB, continued to represent overweight positions for the fund, reflecting our belief that these parts of the market often present opportunities to earn incremental risk-adjusted yield. We also preserved a limited allocation to non-investment-grade bonds (rated BB or lower), intended to enhance the portfolio’s yield profile, as well as modest exposure to unrated credits.

From a sector perspective, health care and transportation remained the fund’s largest positions, although we allowed the fund’s allocation to hospital revenue bonds to decrease modestly over the past year. While our long-term view of nonprofit hospitals remains generally constructive, we see potential for staffing shortages and corresponding labor cost pressures to challenge the sector in the near term.

Among transportation segments, we maintain a favorable outlook on major toll roads, with toll-backed debt from the New York Thruway Authority representing a sizable purchase during the period.

Our conviction in toll-backed bonds is bolstered by the strong government support that managed lane projects have received historically, as well as the resiliency of toll usage through the pandemic compared with public transit alternatives. We particularly favor projects located in rapidly expanding metropolitan areas but also maintain a positive outlook on toll operators in some slow-growth legacy markets due to their pricing power and solid liquidity profiles.

Similarly, federal funding helps to reinforce our conviction in the debt-servicing capacity of mid-size and large airports, which were notable beneficiaries of coronavirus relief bills and the recently passed Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Additionally, we feel that widespread coronavirus vaccine availability has helped to meaningfully restore demand for air travel, evidenced by domestic flight volume this past holiday season approaching pre-pandemic levels.

We also observed strengthening fundamentals in the special tax revenue subsector as mobility restrictions lapsed and economic activity rebounded over the past year. Notable purchases in this market segment included City and County of Denver sales tax bonds issued for the National Western Center and the Colorado Convention Center.

As discussed in the fund’s semiannual report, our near-term outlook on the GO sector grew more constructive, supported by direct federal stimulus for state and local governments in 2021. Nevertheless, we preserved a structural underweight to the overall sector due to our belief that underfunded pensions and other post-employment benefits constitute a long-term budget risk for states and municipalities.

Ultimately, we will stay risk aware and disciplined in our fundamental, research-driven approach, which we believe will continue to serve our shareholders well.

The fund seeks to provide a high level of income exempt from federal income taxes by investing primarily in long-term low- to upper-medium-grade municipal securities.

The Tax-Free High Yield Fund returned 2.21% for the 12 months ended February 28, 2022, outperforming its Bloomberg benchmark and its Lipper peer group average. (Results for Advisor and I Class shares varied, reflecting their different fee structures. Past performance cannot guarantee future results.)

Against this backdrop, credit selection in some of our preferred market segments helped the fund outperform its benchmark. Our selections of revenue bonds issued for hospitals and toll roads notably added value but were partly offset by negative selections of life care revenue bonds.

We continued to invest in Puerto Rico-domiciled bonds, including its general obligation (GO) debt and credits from several of the island’s revenue-backed bond issuers, based on our view that they would likely continue to benefit from substantial federal aid to the territory and independent oversight of its fiscal management. This thesis translated into excess returns in the portfolio as our investments in these names—especially Puerto Rico GOs, the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, and the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority—outperformed amid an economic rebound for the commonwealth and court approval of its debt restructuring plan. (Please refer to the portfolio of investments for a complete list of holdings and the amount each represents in the portfolio.)

Asset allocation boosted relative returns, driven largely by an overweight to the revenue-backed life care subsector, which continued to rebound from pandemic-related pressures in 2020. On the broad sector level, a structural underweight to GO debt and a corresponding overweight to the typically higher-yielding revenue sector further supported performance.

While rising rates dampened the fund’s absolute returns later in the period, our interest rate management benefited its relative results. With higher front-end rates driving a flattening of the municipal yield curve, the fund’s overweight to long-dated bonds and underweight exposures to short and intermediate maturities contributed to relative returns.

On average, the fund’s duration—a key measure of its sensitivity to interest rate changes—was neutral with the benchmark’s duration position, consistent with our preference for avoiding large bets on interest rate moves. After maintaining a modestly long-duration posture through much of 2021, we adjusted toward a more neutral duration stance as we saw potential for yields to rise as the Fed took steps to unwind its ultra-accommodative monetary policy.

From a sector perspective, health care remained the fund’s largest position, including debt from nonprofit hospitals and life care communities. While our long-term view of nonprofit hospitals remains generally constructive, we see potential for staffing shortages and corresponding labor cost pressures to challenge the sector in the near term.

Similarly, balance sheet metrics and other bottom-up credit factors continue to guide our investment decisions in the life care market segment. We see sharp distinctions in the business models, management capabilities, and financial conditions of these providers, leading us to favor projects from continuing care retirement communities with strong demand profiles.

In addition to health care, we preserved the fund’s allocations to corporate-backed industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue bonds as well as transportation revenue bonds. Among transportation segments, we maintain a favorable outlook on major toll roads, with Virginia Small Business Financing Authority revenue bonds for the Elizabeth River Tunnels Project and 495 Express Lanes representing sizable purchases during the period.

As discussed in the fund’s semiannual report, our near-term outlook on the GO sector grew more constructive, supported by the direct federal aid provided to state and local governments in 2021. Still, we preserved an underweight to the overall sector due to our belief that underfunded pensions and other post-employment benefits constitute a long-term budget risk for states and municipalities.

We also observed near-term tailwinds for tobacco-securitized debt, which led us to increase the fund’s holdings of Buckeye Tobacco Settlement Financing Authority (Ohio) senior secured bonds. While technical conditions have been broadly positive for tobacco bonds in recent years, we maintain a quality bias in the sector given that many of these securities, in our view, derive from fundamentally weak deal structures.

In the context of the fund’s total return orientation, we exercised added caution in lower-rated market segments as credit spreads reached historically tight levels in 2021. (Credit spreads are the yield differences between higher- and lower-quality bonds of similar maturity.) Consequently, we migrated toward AA rated names as the period progressed in an effort to reinforce the portfolio’s liquidity and maintain credit quality diversification.

At the same time, we upheld meaningful positions in the lower range of the investment-grade spectrum—namely, BBB and, to a smaller degree, A rated bonds—and non-investment-grade credits (BB and B and below). Unrated bonds represented the fund’s largest allocation, and its exposure to this segment increased over the period as we continued to rely on our in-depth research process in an effort to source relative value opportunities in smaller deals and bonds that may be overlooked by investors.

Ultimately, we will stay risk aware and disciplined in our fundamental, research-driven approach, which we believe will continue to serve our shareholders well.

The fund seeks to provide a high level of income exempt from federal income taxes.

The Intermediate Tax-Free High Yield Fund returned 1.41% for the 12 months ended February 28, 2022. The fund outperformed its Bloomberg benchmark but marginally underperformed the average return of its Lipper peer group, which encompasses funds of various maturity and duration constraints. (Results for Advisor and I Class shares varied, reflecting their different fee structures. Past performance cannot guarantee future results.)

Against this backdrop, asset allocation helped the fund outperform its benchmark, led by our positioning in the revenue sector. Overweight exposures to life care and student housing revenue bonds particularly added value as these areas of the market continued to rebound from pandemic-related pressures in 2020. This was partially offset by an underweight to port revenue bonds. On the broad sector level, a structural underweight to general obligation (GO) debt and a corresponding overweight to the typically higher-yielding revenue sector further supported performance.

Security selection also lifted relative performance. We continued to invest in Puerto Rico-domiciled bonds, including its GO debt and credits from several of the island’s revenue-backed bond issuers, based on our view that they would likely continue to benefit from substantial federal aid to the territory and independent oversight of the commonwealth’s fiscal management. (Please refer to the portfolio of investments for a complete list of holdings and the amount each represents in the portfolio.)

This thesis translated into excess returns in the portfolio as our investments in these names—especially Puerto Rico GOs and the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority—outperformed amid strong risk appetite and court approval of the territory’s debt restructuring plan. However, these contributions were partly negated by our security selections in the student housing and life care revenue subsectors.

While rising rates dampened the fund’s absolute returns later in the period, our interest rate management slightly benefited its relative performance. With higher front-end rates driving a flattening of the municipal yield curve, the fund’s underweight exposures to short and intermediate maturities and overweight allocation to long-dated bonds contributed to relative results.

On average, we kept the fund’s duration—a key measure of its sensitivity to interest rate changes—modestly shorter than the benchmark’s duration position. This reflected our view that short- and intermediate-term rates could climb if the Fed took steps to begin unwinding its ultra-accommodative monetary policy, which ultimately transpired.

Similarly, balance sheet metrics and other bottom-up credit factors continue to guide our investment decisions in the life care subsector. We see sharp distinctions in the business models, management capabilities, and financial conditions of these providers, leading us to favor projects from continuing care retirement communities with strong demand profiles. Over the past year, notable purchases in this market segment included California Municipal Finance Authority revenue bonds issued for the Mt. San Antonio Gardens community.

In addition to health care, we preserved the fund’s allocation to the industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue subsector as we continued to like the potential yield enhancement and diversification benefits that these corporate-backed bonds provide to a municipal bond portfolio. Among other revenue subsectors, we added a meaningful position in California Community Choice Financing Authority green bonds issued for a clean electricity initiative.

In the context of the fund’s total return orientation, we exercised added caution in lower-rated market segments as credit spreads reached historically tight levels in 2021. (Credit spreads are the yield differences between higher- and lower-quality bonds of similar maturity.) Consequently, we migrated toward AA rated names in an effort to reinforce the portfolio’s liquidity and maintain credit quality diversification.

Ultimately, we will stay risk aware and disciplined in our fundamental, research-driven approach, which we believe will continue to serve our shareholders well.

You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. The Fund may impose a fee upon the sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the Fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.

Bonds are subject to interest rate risk (the decline in bond prices that usually accompanies a rise in interest rates) and credit risk (the chance that any fund holding could have its credit rating downgraded or that a bond issuer will default by failing to make timely payments of interest or principal), potentially reducing the fund’s income level and share price. Investments in high yield bonds involve greater risk of price volatility, illiquidity, and default than higher-rated debt securities. Municipal bond funds may be highly impacted by events tied to the overall municipal securities markets, including unfavorable legislative or political developments and adverse changes in the financial conditions of municipal bond issuers and the economy. Some income may be subject to state and local taxes and the federal alternative minimum tax.

As a mutual fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as redemption fees or sales loads, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the most recent six-month period and held for the entire period.

Please note that the Intermediate Tax-Free High Yield Fund, Tax-Free High Yield Fund, Tax-Free Income Fund, and Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Fund have three share classes: The original share class (Investor Class) charges no distribution and service (12b-1) fee, the Advisor Class shares are offered only through unaffiliated brokers and other financial intermediaries and charge a 0.25% 12b-1 fee, and the I Class shares are available to institutionally oriented clients and impose no 12b-1 or administrative fee payment. The Tax-Exempt Money Fund has two share classes: The original share class (Investor Class) charges no distribution and service (12b-1) fee, and the I Class shares are also available to institutionally oriented clients and impose no 12b-1 or administrative fee payment. Each share class is presented separately in the table.

Actual Expenses
The first line of the following table (Actual) provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line, together with your account balance, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information on the second line of the table (Hypothetical) is based on hypothetical account values and expenses derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% per year rate of return before expenses (not the fund’s actual return). You may compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypothetical example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Note: T. Rowe Price charges an annual account service fee of $20, generally for accounts with less than $10,000. The fee is waived for any investor whose T. Rowe Price mutual fund accounts total $50,000 or more; accounts electing to receive electronic delivery of account statements, transaction confirmations, prospectuses, and shareholder reports; or accounts of an investor who is a T. Rowe Price Personal Services or Enhanced Personal Services client (enrollment in these programs generally requires T. Rowe Price assets of at least $250,000). This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.

You should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing costs and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees or sales loads. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. To the extent a fund charges transaction costs, however, the total cost of owning that fund is higher.

T. Rowe Price Tax-Free Income Fund, Inc. (the fund) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The fund seeks to provide a high level of income exempt from federal income taxes by investing primarily in long-term investment-grade municipal securities. The fund has three classes of shares: the Tax-Free Income Fund (Investor Class), the Tax-Free Income Fund–Advisor Class (Advisor Class) and the Tax-Free Income Fund–I Class (I Class). Advisor Class shares are sold only through various brokers and other financial intermediaries. I Class shares require a $500,000 initial investment minimum, although the minimum generally is waived or reduced for financial intermediaries, eligible retirement plans, and certain other accounts. Prior to November 15, 2021, the initial investment minimum was $1 million and was generally waived for financial intermediaries, eligible retirement plans, and other certain accounts. As a result of the reduction in the I Class minimum, certain assets transferred from the Investor Class to the I Class. This transfer of shares from Investor Class to I Class is reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets within the Capital shares transactions as Shares redeemed and Shares sold, respectively. The Advisor Class operates under a Board-approved Rule 12b-1 plan pursuant to which the class compensates financial intermediaries for distribution, shareholder servicing, and/or certain administrative services; the Investor and I Classes do not pay Rule 12b-1 fees. Each class has exclusive voting rights on matters related solely to that class; separate voting rights on matters that relate to all classes; and, in all other respects, the same rights and obligations as the other classes.

Basis of Preparation The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 (ASC 946). The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), including, but not limited to, ASC 946. GAAP requires the use of estimates made by management. Management believes that estimates and valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the valuations reflected in the accompanying financial statements may differ from the value ultimately realized upon sale or maturity.

Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Distributions Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date basis. Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes. Paydown gains and losses are recorded as an adjustment to interest income. Income tax-related interest and penalties, if incurred, are recorded as income tax expense. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the asset received. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions are declared by each class daily and paid monthly. A capital gain distribution may also be declared and paid by the fund annually.

Class Accounting Shareholder servicing, prospectus, and shareholder report expenses incurred by each class are charged directly to the class to which they relate. Expenses common to all classes and investment income are allocated to the classes based upon the relative daily net assets of each class’s settled shares; realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated based upon the relative daily net assets of each class’s outstanding shares. The Advisor Class pays Rule 12b-1 fees, in an amount not exceeding 0.25% of the class’s average daily net assets.

Capital Transactions Each investor’s interest in the net assets of the fund is represented by fund shares. The fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share is computed at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. However, the NAV per share may be calculated at a time other than the normal close of the NYSE if trading on the NYSE is restricted, if the NYSE closes earlier, or as may be permitted by the SEC. Purchases and redemptions of fund shares are transacted at the next-computed NAV per share, after receipt of the transaction order by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., or its agents.

New Accounting Guidance In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2020–04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional, temporary relief with respect to the financial reporting of contracts subject to certain types of modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. In March 2021, the administrator for LIBOR announced the extension of the publication of a majority of the USD LIBOR settings to June 30, 2023. Management expects that the adoption of the guidance will not have a material impact on the fund’s financial statements.

Indemnification In the normal course of business, the fund may provide indemnification in connection with its officers and directors, service providers, and/or private company investments. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the risk of material loss is currently considered to be remote.

Fair Value The fund’s financial instruments are valued at the close of the NYSE and are reported at fair value, which GAAP defines as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The T. Rowe Price Valuation Committee (the Valuation Committee) is an internal committee that has been delegated certain responsibilities by the fund’s Board of Directors (the Board) to ensure that financial instruments are appropriately priced at fair value in accordance with GAAP and the 1940 Act. Subject to oversight by the Board, the Valuation Committee develops and oversees pricing-related policies and procedures and approves all fair value determinations. Specifically, the Valuation Committee establishes policies and procedures used in valuing financial instruments, including those which cannot be valued in accordance with normal procedures or using pricing vendors; determines pricing techniques, sources, and persons eligible to effect fair value pricing actions; evaluates the services and performance of the pricing vendors; oversees the pricing process to ensure policies and procedures are being followed; and provides guidance on internal controls and valuation-related matters. The Valuation Committee provides periodic reporting to the Board on valuation matters.

Various valuation techniques and inputs are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments that the fund can access at the reporting date

Level 2 – inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in inactive markets, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads)

Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value)

Observable inputs are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. Unobservable inputs are those for which market data are not available and are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. GAAP requires valuation techniques to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When multiple inputs are used to derive fair value, the financial instrument is assigned to the level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value of the financial instrument. Input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level but rather the degree of judgment used in determining those values.

Valuation Techniques Debt securities generally are traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market and are valued at prices furnished by independent pricing services or by broker dealers who make markets in such securities. When valuing securities, the independent pricing services consider the yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type, as well as prices quoted by dealers who make markets in such securities.

Assets and liabilities other than financial instruments, including short-term receivables and payables, are carried at cost, or estimated realizable value, if less, which approximates fair value.

Investments for which market quotations or market-based valuations are not readily available or deemed unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee, in accordance with fair valuation policies and procedures. The objective of any fair value pricing determination is to arrive at a price that could reasonably be expected from a current sale. Financial instruments fair valued by the Valuation Committee are primarily private placements, restricted securities, warrants, rights, and other securities that are not publicly traded. Factors used in determining fair value vary by type of investment and may include market or investment specific considerations. The Valuation Committee typically will afford greatest weight to actual prices in arm’s length transactions, to the extent they represent orderly transactions between market participants, transaction information can be reliably obtained, and prices are deemed representative of fair value. However, the Valuation Committee may also consider other valuation methods such as market-based valuation multiples; a discount or premium from market value of a similar, freely traded security of the same issuer; discounted cash flows; yield to maturity; or some combination. Fair value determinations are reviewed on a regular basis and updated as information becomes available, including actual purchase and sale transactions of the investment. Because any fair value determination involves a significant amount of judgment, there is a degree of subjectivity inherent in such pricing decisions, and fair value prices determined by the Valuation Committee could differ from those of other market participants.

Valuation Inputs On February 28, 2022, all of the fund’s financial instruments were classified as Level 2, based on the inputs used to determine their fair values.

Consistent with its investment objective, the fund engages in the following practices to manage exposure to certain risks and/or to enhance performance. The investment objective, policies, program, and risk factors of the fund are described more fully in the fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

Restricted Securities The fund invests in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Prompt sale of such securities at an acceptable price may be difficult and may involve substantial delays and additional costs.

Mortgage-Backed Securities The fund invests in mortgage-backed securities (MBS or pass-through certificates) that represent an interest in a pool of specific underlying mortgage loans and entitle the fund to the periodic payments of principal and interest from those mortgages. MBS may be issued by government agencies or corporations, or private issuers. Most MBS issued by government agencies are guaranteed; however, the degree of protection differs based on the issuer. MBS are sensitive to changes in economic conditions that affect the rate of prepayments and defaults on the underlying mortgages; accordingly, the value, income, and related cash flows from MBS may be more volatile than other debt instruments.

When-Issued Securities The fund enters into when-issued purchase or sale commitments, pursuant to which it agrees to purchase or sell, respectively, an authorized but not yet issued security for a fixed unit price, with payment and delivery not due until issuance of the security on a scheduled future date. When-issued securities may be new securities or securities issued through a corporate action, such as a reorganization or restructuring. Until settlement, the fund maintains liquid assets sufficient to settle its commitment to purchase a when-issued security or, in the case of a sale commitment, the fund maintains an entitlement to the security to be sold. Amounts realized on when-issued transactions are included in realized gain/loss on securities in the accompanying financial statements.

LIBOR Transition The fund may invest in instruments that are tied to reference rates, including LIBOR. Over the course of the last several years, global regulators have indicated an intent to phase out the use of LIBOR and similar interbank offered rates (IBOR). While publication for most LIBOR currencies and lesser-used USD LIBOR settings ceased immediately after December 31, 2021, remaining USD LIBOR settings will continue to be published until June 30, 2023. There remains uncertainty regarding the future utilization of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate. Any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on the fund, or on certain instruments in which the fund invests, cannot yet be determined. The transition process may result in, among other things, an increase in volatility or illiquidity of markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR, a reduction in the value of certain instruments held by the fund, or a reduction in the effectiveness of related fund transactions such as hedges. Any such effects could have an adverse impact on the fund’s performance.

Other Purchases and sales of portfolio securities other than short-term securities aggregated $432,864,000 and $285,095,000, respectively, for the year ended February 28, 2022.

Generally, no provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its income and gains. Distributions determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes.

The fund files U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return but which can be extended to six years in certain circumstances. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.

Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character but are not adjusted for temporary differences. The permanent book/tax adjustments have no impact on results of operations or net assets and relate primarily to a tax practice that treats a portion of the proceeds from each redemption of capital shares as a distribution of taxable net investment income or realized capital gain and differences between book/tax amortization policies. For the year ended February 28, 2022, the following reclassification was recorded:

Distributions during the years ended February 28, 2022 and February 28, 2021, totaled $68,565,000 and $74,528,000, respectively, and were characterized as tax-exempt income. At February 28, 2022, the tax-basis cost of investments and components of net assets were as follows:

The fund intends to retain realized gains to the extent of available capital loss carryforwards. Net realized capital losses may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future realized capital gains. All or a portion of the capital loss carryforwards may be from losses realized between November 1 and the fund’s fiscal year-end, which are deferred for tax purposes until the subsequent year but recognized for financial reporting purposes in the year realized. During the year ended February 28, 2022, the fund utilized $742,000 of capital loss carryforwards.

The fund is managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Price Associates), a wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (Price Group). The investment management agreement between the fund and Price Associates provides for an annual investment management fee, which is computed daily and paid monthly. The fee consists of an individual fund fee, equal to 0.15% of the fund’s average daily net assets, and a group fee. The group fee rate is calculated based on the combined net assets of certain mutual funds sponsored by Price Associates (the group) applied to a graduated fee schedule, with rates ranging from 0.48% for the first $1 billion of assets to 0.260% for assets in excess of $845 billion. The fund’s group fee is determined by applying the group fee rate to the fund’s average daily net assets. The fee is computed daily and paid monthly. At February 28, 2022, the effective annual group fee rate was 0.28%.

Effective September 1, 2021, the Investor Class is subject to a contractual expense limitation through the expense limitation date indicated in the table below. During the limitation period, Price Associates is required to waive its management fee or pay any expenses (excluding interest; expenses related to borrowings, taxes, and brokerage; and other non-recurring expenses permitted by the investment management agreement) that would otherwise cause the class’s ratio of annualized total expenses to average net assets (net expense ratio) to exceed its expense limitation. The class is required to repay Price Associates for expenses previously waived/paid to the extent the class’s net assets grow or expenses decline sufficiently to allow repayment without causing the class’s net expense ratio (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed the lesser of: (1) the expense limitation in place at the time such amounts were waived; or (2) the class’s current expense limitation. However, no repayment will be made more than three years after the date of a payment or waiver.

The I Class is also subject to an operating expense limitation (I Class Limit) pursuant to which Price Associates is contractually required to pay all operating expenses of the I Class, excluding management fees; interest; expenses related to borrowings, taxes, and brokerage; and other non-recurring expenses permitted by the investment management agreement, to the extent such operating expenses, on an annualized basis, exceed the I Class Limit. This agreement will continue through the expense limitation date indicated in the table below, and may be renewed, revised, or revoked only with approval of the fund’s Board. The I Class is required to repay Price Associates for expenses previously paid to the extent the class’s net assets grow or expenses decline sufficiently to allow repayment without causing the class’s operating expenses (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed the lesser of: (1) the I Class Limit in place at the time such amounts were paid; or (2) the current I Class Limit. However, no repayment will be made more than three years after the date of a payment or waiver.

Pursuant to these agreements, expenses were waived/paid by and/or repaid to Price Associates during the year ended February 28, 2022 as indicated in the table below and remain subject to repayment by the fund. Any repayment of expenses previously waived/paid by Price Associates during the period would be included in the net investment income and expense ratios presented on the accompanying Financial Highlights.

In addition, the fund has entered into service agreements with Price Associates and a wholly owned subsidiary of Price Associates, each an affiliate of the fund (collectively, Price). Price Associates provides certain accounting and administrative services to the fund. T. Rowe Price Services, Inc. provides shareholder and administrative services in its capacity as the fund’s transfer and dividend-disbursing agent. For the year ended February 28, 2022, expenses incurred pursuant to these service agreements were $89,000 for Price Associates and $485,000 for T. Rowe Price Services, Inc. All amounts due to and due from Price, exclusive of investment management fees payable, are presented net on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The fund may participate in securities purchase and sale transactions with other funds or accounts advised by Price Associates (cross trades), in accordance with procedures adopted by the fund’s Board and Securities and Exchange Commission rules, which require, among other things, that such purchase and sale cross trades be effected at the independent current market price of the security. During the year ended February 28, 2022, the aggregate value of purchases and sales cross trades with other funds or accounts advised by Price Associates was less than 1% of the fund’s net assets as of February 28, 2022.

Unpredictable events such as environmental or natural disasters, war, terrorism, pandemics, outbreaks of infectious diseases, and similar public health threats may significantly affect the economy and the markets and issuers in which a fund invests. Certain events may cause instability across global markets, including reduced liquidity and disruptions in trading markets, while some events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors, and industries more significantly than others, and exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, and economic risks. Since 2020, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) has resulted in disruptions to global business activity and caused significant volatility and declines in global financial markets. In February 2022, Russian forces entered Ukraine and commenced an armed conflict. Economic sanctions have since been imposed on Russia and certain of its citizens, including the exclusion of Russia from the SWIFT global payments network. As a result, Russia’s central bank closed the country’s stock market on February 28, 2022, and Russian-related stocks and debt have since suffered significant declines in value. The duration of the coronavirus outbreak and the Russian-Ukraine conflict, and their effects on the financial markets, cannot be determined with certainty. The fund’s performance could be negatively impacted if the value of a portfolio holding were harmed by these and such other events. Management is actively monitoring these events.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of T. Rowe Price Tax-Free Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) as of February 28, 2022, the related statement of operations for the year ended February 28, 2022, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2022, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of February 28, 2022, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2022 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements 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 of these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of February 28, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies in the T. Rowe Price group of investment companies since 1973.

We are providing this information as required by the Internal Revenue Code. The amounts shown may differ from those elsewhere in this report because of differences between tax and financial reporting requirements.

■	The broad municipal bond market registered losses over the past year, driven by a sharp rise in interest rates in early 2022. However, high yield municipal bonds finished the reporting period with positive returns.

■	The Tax-Free Short-Intermediate Fund posted negative returns and delivered mixed results versus its benchmark and Lipper peer group average. T. Rowe Price’s other Tax-Free Funds produced positive returns and generally favorable results compared with their respective benchmarks and peer group averages.

■	We continued to see value in revenue bonds from large hospitals, airports, and toll roads, particularly those with strong balance sheets that, in our assessment, enable these issuers to withstand periods of economic headwinds.

■	Although we see potential for interest rate volatility to hinder municipal debt at times this year, we feel that strong fiscal conditions for states and localities leave municipal bonds better positioned for a tenuous investment landscape than most fixed income sectors.

■	$108,000 from short-term capital gains

■	$74,000 from long-term capital gains, subject to a long-term capital gains tax rate of not greater than 20%

■	$68,740,000 which qualified as exempt-interest dividends
