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. Item 85B Additional Information About Errors and Omissions Policy While no claims with respect to the Registrant/Series were filed under such policy during the period, requests under such policy for reimbursement of legal expenses and costs arising out of claims of market timing activity in the Putnam Funds have been submitted by the investment manager of the Registrant/Series. EX-99 3 legal77e840.txt Putnam Global Utilities Fund, as of February 29, 2012, semi annual shareholder report 77e Regulatory matters and litigation In late 2003 and 2004, Putnam Management settled charges brought by the SEC and the Massachusetts Securities Division in connection with excessive short term trading in Putnam funds. In July 2011, the fund recorded a receivable of $137,714 related to restitution amounts in connection with a distribution plan approved by the SEC. This amount was received by the fund in December 2011. These allegations and related matters have served as the general basis for certain lawsuits, including purported class action lawsuits against Putnam Management and, in a limited number of cases, some Putnam funds. In May 2011, the fund received a payment of $3,418 related to settlement of those lawsuits. Putnam Management has agreed to bear any costs incurred by the Putnam funds as a result of these matters. EX-99 4 acct77l840.txt 77L New accounting pronouncement In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2011 04 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic 820 Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011 04 amends FASB Topic 820 Fair Value Measurement and seeks to develop common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP. ASU 2011 04 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Putnam Management is currently evaluating the application of ASU 2011 04 and its impact, if any, on the funds financial statements.
