As described further in the Proxy Statement, the Proxy Statement is being filed in connection with the solicitation of shareholder proxies with respect to the following proposals: (i) fixing the number of Trustees at 11 for each Fund, (ii) the election of Trustees for each Fund, and (iii) with respect to Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust, converting the fund to an open-end investment company and approving certain related amendments to its Declaration of Trust.

The meeting at which shareholders of the Fund will be asked to vote on these proposals is currently expected to be held on April 26, 2019. Copies of the proxy statement are expected to be mailed to each Fund’s shareholders beginning on or about March 11, 2019.
