IMPORTANT INVESTMENT INFORMATION

For complete information concerning the sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) that applies to any class of fund shares, please see the fund’s current prospectus and statement of additional information. As required by SEC rules, the following information sets forth provisions regarding changes to sales charges.

Conversion of class B shares into class A shares. Class B shares will automatically convert to class A shares on or around the end of the month eight years after the purchase date (for Putnam Small Cap Value Fund, on or around the end of the month six years after the purchase date, and for Multi-Cap Value Fund, on or around the end of the month five years after the purchase date). Class B shares acquired by exchanging class B shares of another Putnam fund will convert to class A shares based on the time of the initial purchase. The conversion period of the acquired fund will apply, unless the initial fund’s CDSC schedule is higher than that of the acquired fund. In that case, the conversion period and CDSC schedule of the initial fund will apply. Class B shares acquired through reinvestment of distributions will convert to class A shares based on the date of the initial purchase to which such shares relate. For this purpose, class B shares acquired through reinvestment of distributions will be attributed to particular purchases of class B shares in accordance with such procedures as the Trustees may determine from time to time. The conversion of class B shares to class A shares is subject to the condition that such conversions will not constitute taxable events for Federal tax purposes. Shareholders should consult with their tax advisors regarding the state and local tax consequences of the conversion of class B shares to class A shares, or any other exchange or conversion of shares.

Class A shares: Putnam Retail Management makes quarterly (or in certain cases monthly) payments to dealers at up to the annual rates set forth below (as a percentage of the average net asset value of class A shares for which such dealers are designated the dealer of record) except as described below. No payments are made during the first year after purchase on shares purchased at net asset value by shareholders that invest at least $1 million, or, in the case of dealers of record for an employer-sponsored benefit plan investing at least $1 million, where such dealer has agreed to a reduced sales commission.

The fund may sell shares without a sales charge or CDSC to the following categories of investors:

Proxy solicitation Q&A 
December 2013

 

The Board of Trustees of the Putnam Funds has mailed proxy materials to shareholders of all Putnam retail open-end funds, variable trust finds, and closed-end funds, asking for their vote on important proposals for the funds. This Q&A is designed to help you answer questions you might receive about the proxy solicitation.

What are the Trustees asking fund shareholders to do?

The Trustees are asking shareholders to vote as outlined on the proxy card by visiting a website, calling by phone, or signing and returning the proxy card in the postage paid envelope. The proxies are needed unless a shareholder decides to attend the special shareholder meeting scheduled for February 27, 2014 and vote his or her shares at the meeting.

For questions about the matters being put to a shareholder vote

What are the matters included in the proxy, and how do the Trustees recommend that shareholders vote?

The Trustees unanimously recommend that shareholders vote for the following proposals included in the proxy:

• approving new management contracts for the Putnam funds (all funds);

• electing Trustees (open-end funds and variable trust funds only);

• approving an Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust (open-end funds and variable trust funds only); and

• other matters affecting investment policies of three Putnam funds (Putnam Global Consumer Fund, Putnam Global Financials Fund, and Putnam Dynamic Asset Allocation Conservative Fund only).

Why are shareholders approving new management contracts?

On October 8, 2013, Paul G. Desmarais, who was the controlling shareholder of Power Corporation of Canada, Putnam’s ultimate parent company, passed away. Upon his death, voting control of the shares of Power Corporation of Canada that Mr. Desmarais controlled was transferred to a family trust. The transfer of voting control of these shares may have constituted an “assignment” of the management contract between Putnam Management and the Putnam funds, resulting in its automatic termination as required by law. Shareholders are being asked to approve a new management contract for the funds to ensure that Putnam Management is able to continue managing them.

Will the new management contracts have any effect on Putnam funds?

The transfer of voting control will not have any practical impact on the operations of Putnam Management or any fund. Shareholders of all Putnam funds are being asked to approve a new management contract with Putnam Investment Management, the investment manager of the Putnam funds. The proposed new management contract is identical (except for its effective date and initial term and for certain non-substantive changes) to each fund’s current management contract.

Why are Trustees being elected?

The Investment Company Act of 1940 permits mutual fund board vacancies to be filled by the Trustees so long as at least two-thirds of the Board of Trustees remains shareholder-elected. Seeking shareholder approval of election of Trustees for all Trusts at this time would permit the Trustees additional governance flexibility in the future (assuming the Trustees may wish to fill future vacancies)

Shareholders of all open-end Putnam funds are being asked to elect Trustees at the upcoming special meeting. Each nominee is currently a Trustee of all Putnam funds. (Shareholders of the closed-end Putnam funds will be asked to elect Trustees at their 2014 annual meeting, expected to be held in April 2014.)

Who are the Trustees, and what is their role?

Putnam’s Board of Trustees is responsible for protecting the interests of Putnam shareholders. The Trustees’ responsibilities include the general oversight of each fund’s business, reviewing investment performance, overseeing the fund’s compliance with federal securities laws, approving fees paid to Putnam Investments and its affiliates, and voting proxies for the fund’s portfolio securities. All but one of the Trustees currently is independent of the funds and Putnam Management.

What is the amendment to the Declarations of Trust?

All shareholders of open-end Putnam funds are being asked to authorize the Trustees to adopt a single form of amended and restated Declaration of Trust for each trust. The open-end Putnam funds (including the variable trust funds) currently operate under 38 distinct Declarations of Trust. These were created at different times in the past and differ from each other in several ways. The adoption of a single amended and restated Declaration of Trust will provide the Trustees and Putnam Management with increased flexibility in managing the affairs of the funds in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Shareholder authorization also will modernize and streamline governance provisions, and eliminate certain ambiguities and inconsistencies.

What are the “other matters” affecting the investment policies of three Putnam mutual funds?

Shareholders of Putnam Dynamic Asset Allocation Conservative Fund are being asked to approve an amendment to a fundamental investment restriction with respect to investments in commodities. The proposal would enable the fund to invest directly in gold and other physical commodities, as well as engage in a variety of transactions involving commodity-linked investments (already permitted under its current investment restriction). Putnam Management presently has no specific intention to change the fund’s exposures to commodities or commodity-linked investments in response to the revision of the fund’s investment restriction, but this intention is subject to change based on Putnam Management’s assessment of both market conditions at any given time and those investments most likely to assist the fund in meeting its investment objective.

Shareholders of Putnam Global Consumer Fund and Putnam Global Financials Fund are being asked to authorize an amendment to a fundamental investment policy with respect to diversification of investments. The proposed change would allow each fund to operate as a non-diversified fund, enabling it to invest more of its assets in securities of fewer issuers than a diversified fund. (It is important to note that Putnam Management would have the flexibility to operate the affected funds as non-diversified, although it has no immediate plans to alter materially its management of the funds.)

For questions about the proxy process

What is a proxy?

A proxy is a person who can act on behalf of another. In this case, proxies are Putnam fund Trustees, who are empowered to vote on behalf of shareholders based on their instructions when shareholders respond to the proxy solicitation.

What is the purpose of the proxy mailing?

Every Putnam shareholder has a right to vote on certain matters that affect the management of their funds. Since it is not possible for most people to attend a shareholder meeting and vote in person, shareholders are mailed the proxy package, which provides a proxy statement, a proxy card, and instructions for voting by phone, by mail, or online.

What is a proxy card?

The proxy card directs the Trustees identified as proxies on how to vote on behalf of a shareholder. In addition to the card, shareholders also receive a proxy statement, which describes the proposals that are being put to a vote. The proxy statement includes the recommendations of the funds’ Trustees to vote in favor of the proposals.

Who is eligible to vote?

Shareholders of record at the close of business on December 2, 2013, are eligible to vote. Each share is entitled to one vote.

When is the special shareholder meeting?

The special shareholder meeting is scheduled to take place on February 27, 2014, at One Post Square, Boston, Massachusetts.

What if shareholders do not return their proxy cards?

If Putnam does not receive the proxy cards in sufficient numbers, we must make follow-up solicitations, either by mail or by phone, which can result in additional expenses for the funds. All shareholders benefit when proxies are voted in a timely manner.

What if a shareholder only signs the card?

If a shareholder signs the proxy card, but doesn’t fill in a vote, the shares will be voted in accordance with the Trustees’ recommendations.

What are the key dates for the proxy solicitation?

December 2, 2013 — Designated record date
Week of December 23, 2013 — Initial proxy mailing
January 20, 2014 — Initial phone campaign

If needed:

January 27, 2014 — Second proxy mailing
February 5, 2014 — Third proxy mailing
February 14, 2014 — Fourth proxy mailing

How can a shareholder submit a vote?

Voting instructions are included on the proxy card. (Note: These are for direct shareholders only; beneficial holders will need to refer to their voting instruction form.) There are several ways to vote:

• Online at www.proxy-direct.com. You will need your control number as listed on your proxy card.

• By phone at 1-800-337-3504 (note that this is a touch-tone line). You will need your control number as listed on your proxy card.

• By mailing the completed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope to:

Proxy Tabulator
P.O. Box 9043
Smithtown, NY 11787-9833

Who is coordinating and reporting votes by mail, Internet, and phone?

Computershare Fund Services (CFS) is tabulating all votes received. CFS has been contracted by Putnam to ensure that the proxy voting is fully administered and tabulated in a fair manner.

What is the process for transferring calls to CFS?

If you receive a telephone call from a shareholder who would like to vote by phone, please use the following procedures:

• Confirm voting eligibility by verifying shareholder name and that he or she was a Putnam retail open-end fund, variable trust fund, or closed-end fund shareholder of record on December 2, 2013.

• Provide him or her with CFS’s telephone number 1-800-963-5821, and ask shareholder if you may place him or her on hold and then transfer the shareholder to CFS.

• Conduct a warm transfer to CFS, thanking the shareholder for voting.

How can shareholders get proxy statements if they did not receive them in the mail?

Additional proxy statements may be ordered from the literature system. This mailing will only include the proxy statement, and will not include a proxy card. If a caller requests a proxy card, or both the proxy statement and the proxy card, send an e-mail message to Patti Bissanti with the fund name, shareholder address, and account number. If the shareholder is a beneficial owner, he or she should contact his or her broker.

What if a shareholder misplaces his/her proxy card?

First, offer to transfer the caller to CFS so that he/she may vote by telephone (see above for transfer instructions). Additional proxy statements may be ordered from the literature system. This mailing will only include the proxy statement, and will not include a proxy card. If a caller requests a proxy card, or both the proxy statement and the proxy card,

FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY  5 

 


send an e-mail message to Patti Bissanti with the fund name, shareholder address, and account number. If the shareholder is a beneficial owner, he or she should contact his or her broker for the voting instruction form.

What if a shareholder whose account is held in street name did not receive a voting instruction form?

Shareholders on street-name accounts who want a statement or voting instruction form must contact their financial advisor. Putnam is not able to accommodate the request. Broker-dealers on street-name accounts provide shareholder names and addresses to a third party, which mails the proxy statements and voting instruction forms to shareholders.

In most cases, as long as the shareholder never instructed his or her advisor to be placed on the Do Not Call List, CFS should have the account information. Offer to transfer the client to CFS (using the instructions above) to vote via phone.

How can a shareholder be placed on a “Do not call/Do not mail” list for this proxy solicitation?

Putnam and the Trustees prefer that shareholders not be placed on a “Do not call” list, as voting is in a shareholder’s best interest. To place a shareholder (who received a request to participate in proxy voting) on a “Do not call” list, you must get approval from the Director of your department. Please coordinate with your supervisor to obtain approval and to have the Director send an e-mail message to Patti Bissanti advising that the shareholder account does not want to receive calls regarding this campaign.

How are financial advisors being made aware of the upcoming shareholder meeting and proxy voting process?

In addition, proxy materials are being delivered electronically to firms of accounts that are held in street name. Putnam relationship managers and back-office contacts are also making firms aware of the meeting and proxy voting process.
