Additional Information About Minimum Required Investment

Shareholders can open a fund account with as little as $500 and
make subsequent investments in any amount. The minimum
investment is waived if you make regular investments weekly,
semi-monthly, or monthly through automatic deductions through
your bank checking or savings account. Currently, Putnam is
waiving the minimum, but reserves the right to reject initial
investments under the minimum.

74P
On September 26, 2008, the fund entered into an Agreement with
another registered investment company (the Seller) managed by
Putnam Management. Under the Agreement, the Seller sold to the
fund the right to receive, in the aggregate, $2,194,515 in net
payments from Lehman Brothers Special Financing, Inc. in
connection with certain terminated derivatives transactions (the
Receivable), in exchange for an initial payment plus (or minus)
additional amounts based on the funds ultimate realized gain (or
loss) with respect to the Receivable.  The Receivable will be
offset against the funds net payable to Lehman Brothers Special
Financing, Inc. and is included in the Statement of assets and
liabilities within Payable for investments purchased.  Future
payments under the Agreement are valued at fair value following
procedures approved by the Trustees and are included in the
Statement of assets and liabilities. All remaining payments
under the Agreement will be recorded as realized gain or loss.

New accounting pronouncements

In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities (SFAS 161) an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133,
was issued and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods
beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced
disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments and how derivative instruments affect an entitys
financial position. Putnam Management is currently evaluating
the impact the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on the funds
financial statement disclosures.

In April 2009, FASB issued a new FASB Staff Position FSP FAS
157 4 which amends FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements, and is effective for interim and annual periods
ending after June 15, 2009.  FSP FAS 157 4 provides additional
guidance when the volume and level of activity for the asset or
liability measured at fair value has significantly decreased.
Additionally, FSP FAS 157 4 expands disclosure by reporting
entities with respect to categories of assets and liabilities
carried at fair value.  Putnam Management believes applying the
provisions of FSP FAS 157 4 will not have a material impact on
the funds financial statements.
