Item 61  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

checking or savings account. Currently, Putnam is waiving the
minimum, but reserves the right to reject initial investments
under the minimum.

74P

On September 15, 2008, the fund terminated its outstanding derivatives
contracts with Lehman Brothers Special Financing, Inc. (LBSF) in connection
with the bankruptcy filing of LBSFs parent company, Lehman Brothers
Holdings, Inc. On September 26, 2008, the fund entered into a receivable
purchase agreement (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 LBSF 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 off set against the funds net payable to LBSF and is included in the
Statement of assets and liabilities in 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. The funds net payable to LBSF was calculated
in accordance with the funds master contract with LBSF. The fund has
accrued interest on the net payable, which is included in the Statement of
operations in Interest expense. Putnam Management currently is in discussions
with LBSF regarding resolution of amounts payable to LBSF. Amounts
recorded are estimates and final payments may differ from these estimates
by a material amount.
