Putnam Arizona Tax Exempt Income Fund
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.

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.

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
