EX-99.77E LEGAL 3 dex9977e.txt EX-99.77E Sub-Item 77E LEGAL PROCEEDINGS INVESCO QUALITY MUNICIPAL INCOME TRUST The Trust received two shareholder demand letters dated July 16, 2010 and March 25, 2011. The shareholder in the July 16. 2010 demand letter alleged that the former Adviser and certain individuals breached their fiduciary duties and wasted Trust assets by causing the Trust to redeem Auction Rate Preferred Securities (ARPS) at their liquidation value at the expense of the Trust and common shareholders. The shareholder in the demand letter dated March 25, 2011 alleged that the Adviser and certain current board and officers of the Trust breached their fiduciary duties and wasted Trust assets by causing the Trust to redeem ARPS at their liquidation value, although the actions complained of occurred prior to the election of the current board and appointment of current officers and prior to the tenure of the current adviser. The shareholders in both letters claimed that the Trust was not obliged to provide liquidity to the preferred shareholders, the redemptions were improperly motivated to benefit the Adviser, and the market value and fair value of the ARPS were less than liquidation value at the time they were redeemed. The shareholders demand that: 1) the Board take action against the Adviser and individuals to recover damages; 2) the Board refrain from authorizing further redemptions or repurchases of ARPS by the Trust at prices in excess of fair value or market value at the time of the transaction; and 3) the Board institute corporate governance measures. . The Board formed a Special Litigation Committee ("SLC") to investigate these claims and make a recommendation to the Board regarding whether pursuit of these claims is in the best interests of the Trust. Upon completion of its evaluation, the SLC recommended that the Board reject the demands specified in the shareholder demand letters, after which the Board publicly announced on July 12, 2011, that it had adopted the SLC's recommendation and voted to reject the demands. Management of Invesco and the Trust believe that the outcome of the proceedings described above will not have a material adverse effect on the Trust or on the ability of Invesco to provide ongoing services to the Trust.
