LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
R. JAY GERKEN, CFA
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
Dear Shareholder,
For the six months ended November 30, 2004, the Managed Municipals Portfolio Inc. returned 3.57%, based on its New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) market price and 3.19% based on its net asset value (NAV)i per share. In comparison, the funds unmanaged benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index,ii returned 4.30% for the same time frame. The funds Lipper general municipal debt closed-end funds category averageiii was 6.34%. Please note that Lipper performance returns are based on each funds NAV.
During this six-month period, the fund distributed dividends to shareholders totaling $0.34 per share. The performance table shows the funds 30-day

All figures represent past performance and are not a guarantee of future results. The funds yields will vary.
Total returns are based on changes in NAV or market price, respectively. Total returns assume the reinvestment of all dividends and/or capital gains distributions, if any, in additional shares. The SEC yield is a return figure often quoted by bond and other fixed-income mutual funds. This quotation is based on the most recent 30-day (or one-month) period covered by the funds filings with the SEC. The yield figure reflects the dividends and interest earned during the period after deduction of the funds expenses for the period. The yield is as of November 30, 2004 and is subject to change.

Despite sharply rising oil prices, threats of terrorism, geopolitical concerns, and uncertainties surrounding the Presidential election, the U.S. economy continued to expand during the reporting period. Following a robust 4.5% gain in the first quarter of 2004, gross domestic productiv (GDP)iv growth was 3.3% in the second quarter of the year. This decline was largely attributed to higher energy prices. However, estimated third quarter 2004 GDP rose a solid 3.9%.
Given the overall strength of the economy, Federal Reserve Board (Fed)v monetary policy was seen as highly accommodative and expectations were that it would start raising rates to ward off the threat of inflation. As expected, the Fed raised its target for the federal funds ratevi by 0.25% to 1.25% at the end of June 2004 the first rate increase in four years. The Fed again raised rates in 0.25% increments in August, September, and November, to 2.00%, and then again to 2.25% on December 14th after the funds reporting period had ended. Rising interest rates can act as a brake on robust economic growth, helping to maintain a balance between steady growth and the inflation that generally can accompany it.
Despite the economic expansion and higher interest rates, the municipal bond market generated solid results during the six-month reporting period. Modestly lower supply, combined with generally strong demand supported the municipal market during much of the period.
Although the funds shorter-duration approach limited the funds ability to completely participate in the markets upside moves, this more defensive approach to interest rate risk resulted in a smoother ride for investors who held the fund over the period in comparison to longer-duration portfolios.
While rising interest rates are generally troublesome for longer-term fixed income securities, since bond prices decline as rates are expected to rise, rising rates result in higher levels of income on new bonds issued in the future. In the recent market and rate environment, the funds managers believe that their cautious approach to managing interest rate risk is more prudent than a longer-duration strategy.
Information About Your Fund
As you may be aware, several issues in the mutual fund industry have recently come under the scrutiny of federal and state regulators. The funds Adviser and some of its affiliates have received requests for information from various government regulators regarding market timing, late trading, fees, and other mutual fund issues in connection with various investigations. The fund has
2
been informed that the Adviser and its affiliates are responding to those information requests, but are not in a position to predict the outcome of these requests and investigations.
As previously disclosed by Citigroup, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has notified Citigroup Asset Management (CAM) and Citicorp Trust Bank (CTB), an affiliate of CAM, that the Staff is considering recommending a civil injunctive action and/or an administrative proceeding against CAM, CTB, the former CEO of CAM, two former employees and a current employee of CAM, relating to the creation, operation and fees of an internal transfer agent unit that serves various CAM-managed funds. Citigroup is cooperating with the SEC and will seek to resolve this matter in discussion with the SEC Staff. Although there can be no assurance, Citigroup does not believe that this matter will have a material adverse effect on the fund. For further information, please see the Additional Information note in the Notes to the Financial Statements included in this report.
Looking for Additional Information?
The fund is traded under the symbol MMU and its closing market price is available in most newspapers under the NYSE listings. The daily NAV is available on-line under symbol XMMUX. Barrons and The Wall Street Journals Monday editions carry closed-end fund tables that will provide additional information. In addition, the fund issues a quarterly press release that can be found on most major financial websites as well as www.citigroupassetmanagement.com.
In a continuing effort to provide information concerning the fund, shareholders may call 1-888-735-6507, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time, for the funds current net asset value, market price, and other information.

The information provided is not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results or investment advice. Views expressed may differ from those of the firm as a whole.
RISKS: Fixed-income investments are subject to interest rate risk. As interest rates rise, the price of fixed-income investments decline. Please note that derivatives, such as options and futures, can be illiquid and harder to value, especially in declining markets. A small investment in certain derivatives may have a potentially large impact on the funds performance. Derivatives can disproportionately increase losses as stated in the prospectus.
All index performance reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Please note that an investor cannot invest directly in an index.
i | NAV is calculated by subtracting total liabilities and outstanding preferred stock from the closing value of all securities held by the fund (plus all other assets) and dividing the result (total net assets) by the total number of the common shares outstanding. The NAV fluctuates with changes in the market prices of securities in which the fund has invested. However, the price at which an investor may buy or sell shares of the fund is at the funds market price as determined by supply of and demand for the funds shares. |
ii | The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is a broad measure of the municipal bond market with maturities of at least one year. |
iii | Lipper, Inc. is a major independent mutual-fund tracking organization. Returns are based on the 6-month period ended November 30, 2004, including the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, calculated among the 66 funds in the funds Lipper category, and excluding sales charges. |
iv | Gross domestic product is a market value of goods and services produced by labor and property in a given country. |
v | The Fed is responsible for the formulation of a policy designed to promote economic growth, full employment, stable prices, and a sustainable pattern of international trade and payments. |
vi | The federal funds rate is the interest rate that banks with excess reserves at a Federal Reserve district bank charge other banks that need overnight loans. |

Take Advantage of the Funds Dividend Reinvestment Plan!
As an investor in the Fund, you can participate in its Dividend Reinvestment Plan (Plan), a convenient, simple and efficient way to reinvest your dividends and capital gains, if any, in additional shares of the Fund. Below is a short summary of how the Plan works.
Plan Summary
If you are a Plan participant who has not elected to receive your dividends in the form of a cash payment, then your dividend and capital gain distributions will be reinvested automatically in additional shares of the Fund.
The number of shares of common stock of the Fund that you will receive in lieu of a cash dividend is determined in the following manner. If the market price of the common stock is equal to or exceeds 98% of the net asset value per share (NAV) on the determination date, you will be issued shares by the Fund at a price reflecting 98% of NAV, or 95% of the market price, whichever is greater.
If the market price is less than 98% of the NAV at the time of valuation (the close of business on the determination date), PFPC Inc. (Plan Agent), will buy common stock for your account in the open market.
If the Plan Agent begins to purchase additional shares in the open market and the market price of the shares subsequently rises above the previously determined NAV before the purchases are completed, the Plan Agent will attempt to terminate purchases and have the Fund issue the remaining dividend or distribution in shares at the greater of the previously determined 98% of NAV or 95% of the market price. In that case, the number of Fund shares you receive will be based on the weighted average of prices paid for shares purchased in the open market and the price at which the Fund issues the remaining shares.
A more complete description of the current Plan appears in this report beginning on page 39.
To find more detailed information about the Plan and about how you can participate, please call the Plan Agent at 1 (800) 331-1710.

Bond Ratings (unaudited) |
The definitions of the applicable rating symbols are set forth below:
Standard & Poors Ratings Service (Standard & Poors) Ratings from AA to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus () sign to show relative standings within the major rating categories.
AAA | Bonds rated AAA have the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poors. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong. | |
AA | Bonds rated AA have a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal and differ from the highest rated issues only in a small degree. | |
A | Bonds rated A have a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal although they are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher rated categories. | |
BBB | Bonds rated BBB are regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Whereas they normally exhibit adequate protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for bonds in this category than in higher rated categories. | |
BB, B, CCC and CC | Bonds rated BB, B, CCC and CC are regarded, on balance, as predominantly speculative with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation. BB represents a lower degree of speculation than B, and CC the highest degree of speculation. While such bonds will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these are outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse conditions. | |
Moodys Investors Service (Moodys) Numerical modifiers 1, 2 and 3 may be applied to each generic rating from Aa to Ba, where 1 is the highest and 3 the lowest ranking within its generic category. | ||
Aaa | Bonds rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as gilt edge. Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure. While the various protective elements are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues. | |
Aa | Bonds rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally known as high grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may not be as large in Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities. | |
A | Bonds rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to be considered as upper medium grade obligations. Factors giving security to principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment some time in the future. | |
Baa | Bonds rated Baa are considered as medium grade obligations, i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as well. | |
Ba | Bonds rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements; their future cannot be considered as well assured. Often the protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate and therefore not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class. | |
NR | Indicates that the bond is not rated by Standard & Poors or Moodys. |

1. | Organization and Significant Accounting Policies |
Managed Municipals Portfolio Inc. (Fund), a non-diversified investment fund, Maryland corporation, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a closed-end management investment company.
The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund and are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Estimates and assumptions are required to be made regarding assets, liabilities and changes in net assets resulting from operations when financial statements are prepared. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ.
(a) Investment Valuation. Securities are valued at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices provided by an independent pricing service that are based on transactions in municipal obligations, quotations from municipal bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various relationships between securities. Securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or where market quotations are determined not to reflect fair value, will be valued in good faith at fair value by or under the direction of the Funds Board of Directors. Short-term obligations with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
(b) Futures Contracts. The Fund may enter into futures contracts to the extent permitted by its investment policies and objectives. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash or securities as initial margin. Additional securities are also segregated up to the current market value of the futures contracts. Subsequent payments, which are dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying financial instrument, are made or received by the Fund each day (daily variation margin) and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transactions and the Funds basis in the contracts. The Fund enters into such contracts typically to hedge a portion of the portfolio. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts include the possibility that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of the underlying instruments. In addition, investing in futures contracts involves the risk that the Fund could lose more than the original margin deposit and subsequent payments required for a futures transaction.
31
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued) |
(c) Security Transactions and Investment Income. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.
(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded monthly by the Fund on the ex-dividend date for the shareholders of Common Stock. Capital gain distributions, if any, are taxable to shareholders, and are declared and paid at least annually. The holders of the Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends in accordance with an auction that will normally be held weekly and out of funds legally available to shareholders. The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
(e) Net Asset Value. The net asset value of the Funds Common Stock is determined no less frequently than the close of business on the Funds last business day of each week (generally Friday). It is determined by dividing the value of the net assets available to Common Stock by the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For the purpose of determining the net asset value per share of the Common Stock, the value of the Funds net assets shall be deemed to equal the value of the Funds assets less (1) the Funds liabilities, (2) the aggregate liquidation value (i.e., $25,000 per outstanding share) of the Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock and (3) accumulated and unpaid dividends on the outstanding Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock issue.
(f) Federal and Other Taxes. It is the Fund policy to comply with the federal income and excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains on investments, if any, to shareholders each year. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from federal income tax and from certain state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to the shareholders of the Fund.

2. | Investment Advisory Agreement, Administration Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates |
Smith Barney Fund Management LLC (SBFM), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. (Citigroup), acts as the investment adviser and administrator to the Fund. For investment advisory and administrative services, the Fund pays SBFM fees calculated at the annual rate of 0.55% and 0.20% of the average daily total net assets of the Fund, respectively, for an aggregate investment advisory and administrative fee of 0.75%. Effective December 1, 2004, the fee the Fund pays SBFM for administrative services will be reduced to 0.10% of the average daily total net assets of the Fund. The aggregate investment advisory and administrative fee the Fund will pay will be 0.65% of the average total net assets of the Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by agreement between SBFM and the Fund, the Fund pays SBFM an aggregate investment advisory and administrative fee at an annual rate of 0.65% on those assets of the Fund equal to the product of the number of preferred shares outstanding multiplied by the liquidation value of such shares. The investment advisory fee and the administrative fee are each calculated daily and paid monthly.
All officers and one Director of the Fund are employees of Citigroup or its affiliates and do not receive compensation from the Fund.
3. | Investments |
During the six months ended November 30, 2004, the aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:
Purchases |
$ | 7,409,620 | |

4. | Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock |
As of November 30, 2004, the Fund had 2,000 outstanding shares of Series M, Series T, Series W, Series Th and Series F, each of Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock (ARCPS). The ARCPS dividends are cumulative at a rate determined at an auction and the dividend period is typically 7 days. The dividend rates ranged from 0.95% to 1.61% during the six months ended November 30, 2004. At November 30, 2004, the dividend rates in effect were as follows:
Series M | Series T | Series W | Series Th | Series F | ||||||
Dividend Rates |
1.57% | 1.57% | 1.61% | 1.57% | 1.61% | |||||
The ARCPS are redeemable under certain conditions by the Fund, or subject to mandatory redemption (if the Fund is in default of certain coverage requirements) at a redemption price equal to the liquidation preference, which is the sum of $25,000 per share plus accumulated and unpaid dividends.
The Fund is required to maintain certain asset coverages with respect to the ARCPS. If the Fund fails to maintain these coverages and does not cure any such failure within the required time period, the Fund is required to redeem a requisite number of the ARCPS in order to meet the applicable requirement. Additionally, failure to meet the foregoing asset requirements would restrict the Funds ability to pay dividends to common stock shareholders.
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (CGM), another indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, currently acts as the broker/dealer in connection with the auction of ARCPS. After each auction, the auction agent will pay to the participating broker/dealer, from monies the Fund provides, a participation fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of the purchase price of the ARCPS that the broker/dealer places at the auction. For the six months ended November 30, 2004, the Fund incurred auction participation fees of $314,383 for CGMs services as the participating broker/dealer.

6. | Additional Information |
In connection with an investigation previously disclosed by Citigroup, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has notified Citigroup Asset Management (CAM), the Citigroup business unit that includes the funds investment manager and other investment advisory companies; Citicorp Trust Bank (CTB), an affiliate of CAM; Thomas W. Jones, the former CEO of CAM; and three other individuals, one of whom is an employee and two of whom are former employees of CAM, that the SEC Staff is considering recommending a civil injunctive action and/or an administrative proceeding against each of them relating to the creation and operation of an internal transfer agent unit to serve various CAM-managed funds.
In 1999, CTB entered the transfer agent business. CTB hired an unaffiliated subcontractor to perform some of the transfer agent services. The subcontractor, in exchange, had signed a separate agreement with CAM in 1998 that guaranteed investment management revenue to CAM and investment banking revenue to a CAM affiliate. The subcontractors business was later taken over by PFPC Inc., and at that time the revenue guarantee was eliminated and a one-time payment was made by the subcontractor to a CAM affiliate.
CAM did not disclose the revenue guarantee when the boards of various CAM-managed funds hired CTB as transfer agent. Nor did CAM disclose to the boards of the various CAM-managed funds the one-time payment received by the CAM affiliate when it was made. As previously disclosed, CAM has already paid the applicable funds, primarily through fee waivers, a total of approximately $17 million (plus interest), which is the amount of the revenue received by Citigroup relating to the revenue guarantee.
In addition, the SEC Staff has indicated that it is considering recommending action based on the adequacy of the disclosures made to the fund boards that approved the transfer agency arrangement, CAMs initiation and operation of, and compensation for, the transfer agent business and CAMs retention of, and agreements with, the subcontractor.
Citigroup is cooperating fully in the SECs investigation and is seeking to resolve the matter in discussions with the SEC Staff. On January 20, 2005, Citigroup stated that it had established an aggregate reserve of $196 million ($25 million in the third quarter of 2004 and $171 million in the fourth quarter of 2004) related to its discussions with the SEC Staff. Settlement negotiations are on going and any settlement of this matter with the SEC will require approval by the Citigroup Board and acceptance by the Commission.
35
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued) |
Unless and until any settlement is consummated, there can be no assurance that any amount reserved by Citigroup will be distributed. Nor is there at this time any certainty as to how the proceeds of any settlement would be distributed, to whom any such distribution would be made, the methodology by which such distribution would be allocated, and when such distribution would be made.
Although there can be no assurance, Citigroup does not believe that this matter will have a material adverse effect on the funds. The Fund did not implement the contractual arrangement described above and will not receive any payments.

Under the Funds Dividend Reinvestment Plan (Plan), a shareholder whose shares of common stock are registered in his own name will have all distributions from the Fund reinvested automatically by PFPC Inc. (PFPC), as purchasing agent under the Plan, unless the shareholder elects to receive cash. Distributions with respect to shares registered in the name of a broker-dealer or other nominee (that is, in street name) will be reinvested by the broker or nominee in additional shares under the Plan, unless the service is not provided by the broker or nominee or the shareholder elects to receive distributions in cash. Investors who own common stock registered in street name should consult their broker-dealers for details regarding reinvestment. All distributions to shareholders who do not participate in the Plan will be paid by check mailed directly to the record holder by or under the direction of PFPC as dividend paying agent.
The number of shares of common stock distributed to participants in the Plan in lieu of a cash dividend is determined in the following manner. When the market price of the common stock is equal to or exceeds 98% of the net asset value per share of the common stock on the determination date (generally, the record date for the distribution), Plan participants will be issued shares of common stock by the Fund at a price equal to the greater of 98% of net asset value or 95% of the market price of the common stock.
If the market price of the common stock is less than 98% of the net asset value of the common stock at the time of valuation (which is the close of business on the determination date), PFPC will buy common stock in the open market, on the NYSE or elsewhere, for the participants accounts. If following the commencement of the purchases and before PFPC has completed its purchases, the market price exceeds the net asset value of the common stock as of the valuation time, PFPC will attempt to terminate purchases in the open market and cause the Fund to issue the remaining portion of the dividend or distribution in shares at a price equal to the greater of (a) 98% of net asset value as of the valuation time or (b) 95% of the then current market price. In this case, the number of shares received by a Plan participant will be based on the weighted average of prices paid for shares purchased in the open market and the price at which the Fund issues the remaining shares. To the extent PFPC is unable to stop open market purchases and cause the Fund to issue the remaining shares, the average per share purchase price paid by PFPC may exceed the net asset value of the common stock as of the valuation time, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or capital gains distribution had been paid in common stock issued by the Fund at such net asset value. PFPC will begin to purchase common stock on the open market as soon as practicable after the determination date for the dividend or capital

gains distribution, but in no event shall such purchases continue later than 30 days after the payment date for such dividend or distribution, or the record date for a succeeding dividend or distribution, except when necessary to comply with applicable provisions of the federal securities laws.
PFPC maintains all shareholder accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmations of all transactions in each account, including information needed by a shareholder for personal and tax records. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions will not relieve Plan participants of any income tax that may be payable on the dividends or capital gains distributions. Common stock in the account of each Plan participant will be held by PFPC in uncertificated form in the name of the Plan participant.
Plan participants are subject to no charge for reinvesting dividends and capital gains distributions under the Plan. PFPCs fees for handling the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions will be paid by the Fund. No brokerage charges apply with respect to shares of common stock issued directly by the Fund under the Plan. Each Plan participant will, however, bear a proportionate share of any brokerage commissions actually incurred with respect to any open market purchases made under the Plan.
Experience under the Plan may indicate that changes to it are desirable. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan as applied to any dividend or capital gains distribution paid subsequent to written notice of the change sent to participants at least 30 days before the record date for the dividend or capital gains distribution. The Plan also may be amended or terminated by PFPC, with the Funds prior written consent, on at least 30 days written notice to Plan participants. All correspondence concerning the plan should be directed by mail to PFPC Inc., P.O. Box 43027, Providence, Rhode Island 02940-3027 or by telephone at 1 (800) 331-1710.

ITEM 7. | DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES. |
The Board of Directors of the Fund has delegated the authority to develop policies and procedures relating to proxy voting to the Manager. The Manager is part of Citigroup Asset Management (CAM), a group of investment adviser affiliates of Citigroup, Inc. (Citigroup). Along with the other investment advisers that comprise CAM, the Manager has adopted a set of proxy voting policies and procedures (the Policies) to ensure that the Manager votes proxies relating to equity securities in the best interest of clients.
In voting proxies, the Manager is guided by general fiduciary principles and seeks to act prudently and solely in the best interest of clients. The Manager attempts to consider all factors that could affect the value of the investment and will vote proxies in the manner that it believes will be consistent with efforts to maximize shareholder values. The Manager may utilize an external service provider to provide it with information and/or a recommendation with regard to proxy votes. However, such recommendations do not relieve the Manager of its responsibility for the proxy vote.
In the case of a proxy issue for which there is a stated position in the Policies, CAM generally votes in accordance with such stated position. In the case of a proxy issue for which there is a list of factors set forth in the Policies that CAM considers in voting on such issue, CAM votes on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the general principles set forth above and considering such enumerated factors. In the case of a proxy issue for which there is no stated position or list of factors that CAM considers in voting on such issue, CAM votes on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the general principles set forth above. Issues for which there is a stated position set forth in the Policies or for which there is a list of factors set forth in the Policies that CAM considers in voting on such issues fall into a variety of categories, including election of directors, ratification of auditors, proxy and tender offer defenses, capital structure issues, executive and director
compensation, mergers and corporate restructurings, and social and environmental issues. The stated position on an issue set forth in the Policies can always be superseded, subject to the duty to act solely in the best interest of the beneficial owners of accounts, by the investment management professionals responsible for the account whose shares are being voted. Issues applicable to a particular industry may cause CAM to abandon a policy that would have otherwise applied to issuers generally. As a result of the independent investment advisory services provided by distinct CAM business units, there may be occasions when different business units or different portfolio managers within the same business unit vote differently on the same issue.
In furtherance of the Managers goal to vote proxies in the best interest of clients, the Manager follows procedures designed to identify and address material conflicts that may arise between the Managers interests and those of its clients before voting proxies on behalf of such clients. To seek to identify conflicts of interest, CAM periodically notifies CAM employees (including employees of the Manager) in writing that they are under an obligation (i) to be aware of the potential for conflicts of interest with respect to voting proxies on behalf of client accounts both as a result of their personal relationships and due to special circumstances that may arise during the conduct of CAMs and the Managers business, and (ii) to bring conflicts of interest of which they become aware to the attention of compliance personnel. The Manager also maintains and considers a list of significant relationships that could present a conflict of interest for the Manager in voting proxies. The Manager is also sensitive to the fact that a significant, publicized relationship between an issuer and a non-CAM affiliate might appear to the public to influence the manner in which the Manager decides to vote a proxy with respect to such issuer. Absent special circumstances or a significant, publicized non-CAM affiliate relationship that CAM or the Manager for prudential reasons treats as a potential conflict of interest because such relationship might appear to the public to influence the manner in which the Manager decides to vote a proxy, the Manager generally takes the position that non-CAM relationships between Citigroup and an issuer (e.g. investment banking or banking) do not present a conflict of interest for the Manager in voting proxies with respect to such issuer. Such position is based on the fact that the Manager is operated as an independent business unit from other Citigroup business units as well as on the existence of information barriers between the Manager and certain other Citigroup business units.
CAM maintains a Proxy Voting Committee, of which the Manager personnel are members, to review and address conflicts of interest brought to its attention by compliance personnel. A proxy issue that will be voted in accordance with a stated position on an issue or in accordance with the recommendation of an independent third party is not brought to the attention of the Proxy Voting Committee for a conflict of interest review because the Managers position is that to the extent a conflict of interest issue exists, it is resolved by voting in accordance with a pre-determined policy or in accordance with the recommendation of an independent third party. With respect to a conflict of interest brought to its attention, the
Proxy Voting Committee first determines whether such conflict of interest is material. A conflict of interest is considered material to the extent that it is determined that such conflict is likely to influence, or appear to influence, the Managers decision-making in voting proxies. If it is determined by the Proxy Voting Committee that a conflict of interest is not material, the Manager may vote proxies notwithstanding the existence of the conflict.
If it is determined by the Proxy Voting Committee that a conflict of interest is material, the Proxy Voting Committee is responsible for determining an appropriate method to resolve such conflict of interest before the proxy affected by the conflict of interest is voted. Such determination is based on the particular facts and circumstances, including the importance of the proxy issue and the nature of the conflict of interest. Methods of resolving a material conflict of interest may include, but are not limited to, disclosing the conflict to clients and obtaining their consent before voting, or suggesting to clients that they engage another party to vote the proxy on their behalf.
