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
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 74K

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 receivable purchase agreements
(Agreements) with other registered investment companies (each a
Purchaser) managed by Putnam Management. Under the Agreements,
the fund sold to the Purchasers the funds right to receive, in
the aggregate, $3,469,039 in net payments from LBSF in connection
with certain terminated derivatives transactions (the
Receivable), in each case in exchange for an initial payment plus
(or minus) additional amounts based on the applicable Purchasers
ultimate realized gain (or loss) on the Receivable. The
Agreements, which are included in the Statement of assets and
liabilities, are valued at fair value following procedures
approved by the Trustees. All remaining payments under the
agreement will be recorded as realized gain or loss.

Item 85B
