In July 2009 the Board of Trustees of the Putnam Funds approved (1) a new management contract for each of the funds named above with management fee breakpoints based on the aggregate net assets of all open-end funds sponsored by Putnam Management, and (2) for certain funds indicated below, changes to certain fundamental investment restrictions, all of which will be submitted to shareholders for approval at a meeting expected to be held in the fourth quarter of 2009. If the new management contracts are approved by shareholders of substantially all of the Putnam Funds, it is expected that the new management contracts would be implemented on January 1, 2010. As shown in Appendix A, based on June 30, 2009 net asset levels, the proposed management contract would provide for payment of a management fee rate that is lower for almost all funds, and in many cases materially lower, than the management fee rate pa yable under the current management contract. For a small number of funds, the management fee rate would be slightly higher under the proposed contract at these asset levels, but by only immaterial amounts.

Putnam Management and the Board of Trustees also agreed, effective August 1, 2009, to replace each fund’s previous expense limitation with a new expense limitation arrangement.

1. For all funds listed above: The following is added at the end of CHARGES AND EXPENSES – Management fees to Part I of this SAI:

Subject to shareholder approval, under a new management contract approved by the Trustees, the fund will pay a monthly fee (a monthly base fee, in the case of Putnam Absolute Return 100, 300, 500 and 700 Funds, Putnam Capital Spectrum Fund and Putnam Equity Spectrum Fund, which remains subject to a performance adjustment unaffected by the new management contract) to Putnam Management at an annual rate (as a percentage of the fund’s average net assets for the month) that varies based on the average of the aggregate net assets of all open-end funds
