Annual Shareholder ReportNotes to Financial Statements
November 30, 2010
Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund (individually referred to as the “Fund,” or collectively as the “Funds”) are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as diversified, closed-end management investment companies. Each Fund's investment objective is to provide current income exempt from federal income tax, including the federal AMT.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Investment Valuation
In calculating its net asset value (NAV), each Fund generally values investments as follows:
If the Funds cannot obtain a price or price evaluation from a pricing service for an investment, the Funds may attempt to value the investment based upon the mean of bid and asked quotations or fair value the investment based on price evaluations, from one or more dealers. If any price, quotation, price evaluation or other pricing source is not readily available when the NAV is calculated, the Funds use the fair value of the investment determined in accordance with the procedures described below. There can be no assurance that the Funds could purchase or sell an investment at the price used to calculate each Fund's NAV.
Fair Valuation and Significant Events Procedures
The Trustees have authorized the use of pricing services to provide evaluations of the current fair value of certain investments for purposes of calculating the NAV. Factors considered by pricing services in evaluating an investment include the yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, call rights and other potential prepayments, terms and type, reported transactions, indications as to values from dealers and general market conditions. Some pricing services provide a single price evaluation reflecting the bid-side of the market for an investment (a “bid” evaluation). Other pricing services offer both bid evaluations and price evaluations indicative of a price between the prices bid and asked for the investment (a “mid” evaluation). The Funds normally use bid evaluations for U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities. The Funds normally use mid evaluations for other types of fixed-income securities and OTC derivative contracts. In the event that market quotations and price evaluations are not available for an investment, the fair value of the investment is determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees.
Annual Shareholder Report
The Funds may seek to obtain more current quotations or price evaluations from alternative pricing sources. If a reliable alternative pricing source is not available, the Funds will determine the fair value of the investment using another method approved by the Trustees.
Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions
Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified-cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are declared and paid monthly. Distributions to preferred shareholders are recorded daily and paid weekly at a rate set through auction procedures or under each Fund's Statement of Preferences. The dividend rate to preferred shareholders for Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund at November 30, 2010, was 0.232% and 0.232%, respectively.
Each auction requires the participation of one or more Broker-Dealers. The auction agent, currently Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, will enter into agreements with one or more Broker-Dealers selected by the Funds, which provide for the participation of those Broker-Dealers in auctions for preferred shares. The auction agent will pay each Broker-Dealer after each auction, from funds provided by the Funds. The trailer commissions for Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund for the year ended November 30, 2010 were $92,272 and $105,861, respectively.
Premium and Discount Amortization
All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes.
Federal Taxes
It is each Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. As of and during the year ended November 30, 2010, the Funds did not have a liability for any uncertain tax positions. The Annual Shareholder Report
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions
The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.
Inverse Floater Structures
The Funds may participate in Inverse Floater Structures in which fixed-rate, tax-exempt municipal bonds purchased by the Funds are transferred to a trust. The trust subsequently issues two or more variable rate securities that are collateralized by the cash flows of the fixed-rate, tax-exempt municipal bonds. One or more of these variable-rate securities pays interest based on a floating rate set by a remarketing agent at predetermined intervals. A residual interest tax-exempt security, which is transferred to the Funds, is also created by the trust and pays interest based on the remaining cash flow of the trust, after payment of interest on the other securities and various expenses of the trust.
The Funds account for the transfer of bonds to the trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Fund's investments, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Fund liabilities under the caption, “Payable for floating rate certificate securities” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. At November 30, 2010, for Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund, investments with a value of $23,836,821 are held by the trust and serve as collateral for the $17,100,000 in floating-rate certificate securities outstanding at that date, and for the Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund, investments with a value of $28,317,360 are held by the trust and serve as collateral for the $19,125,000 in floating-rate certificate securities outstanding at that date. The Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and the Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund recorded interest and trust expenses of $152,586 and $163,478, respectively, for these investments for the year ended November 30, 2010.
While these inverse floater structures are accounted for as secured borrowings, the Funds' Adviser has determined that they do not constitute borrowings for purposes of any fundamental limitation on borrowings that may be applicable to the Funds.
Restricted Securities
The Funds may purchase securities which are considered restricted. Restricted securities are securities that either: (a) cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, or being able to take advantage of an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933; or (b) are subject to contractual restrictions on public sales. In some cases, when a security cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, the issuer of the restricted security has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer's expense, either upon demand by the Funds or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many such restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Restricted securities may be determined to be liquid Annual Shareholder Report
Additional information on restricted securities, excluding securities purchased under Rule 144A, if applicable, that have been deemed liquid by the Trustees, held at November 30, 2010, is as follows:
Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund:
Security | Acquisition Date | Cost | Market Value |
Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians, Tax-Exempt Tax Revenue Bonds (Series 2006C), 5.625%, 10/1/2026 | 6/9/2006 | $500,000 | $408,730 |

Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.
The following tables summarize share activity:
Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund |
Year Ended November 30 | 2010 | 2009 |
Shares issued to shareholders in payment of distributions declared | 12,750 | 10,995 |
TOTAL CHANGE RESULTING FROM FUND SHARE TRANSACTIONS | 12,750 | 10,995 |
Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund |
Year Ended November 30 | 2010 | 2009 |
Shares issued to shareholders in payment of distributions declared | 13,829 | 6,495 |
TOTAL CHANGE RESULTING FROM FUND SHARE TRANSACTIONS | 13,829 | 6,495 |
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities and inverse floater structures.
For the year ended November 30, 2010, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:
Increase (Decrease) | ||
Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss) | Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) | |
Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund | $6,394 | $(6,394) |
Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund | $23,551 | $(23,551) |
Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.
The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended November 30, 2010 and 2009, was as follows:
2010 Tax-Exempt Income | 2009 Tax-Exempt Income |
Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund | $6,561,250 | $6,353,189 |
Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund | $6,127,735 | $6,300,115 |
As of November 30, 2010, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Federated
Premier Municipal Income Fund | Federated
Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund |
Undistributed tax-exempt income | $605,956 | $338,665 |
Net unrealized appreciation | $1,432,078 | $4,121,448 |
Capital loss carryforwards | $(6,235,180) | $(8,644,844) |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities, inverse floater structures and wash sales.

Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund | $130,532,609 | $6,396,834 | $2,275,386 | $4,121,448 |
At November 30, 2010, Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund had capital loss carryforwards of $6,235,180 and $8,644,844, respectively, which will reduce the Funds' taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal income tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire as follows:

Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund used capital loss carryforwards of $490,732 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended November 30, 2010.
5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Investment Adviser Fee
Each Fund has entered into an Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Federated Investment Management Company (the “Adviser”), to serve as investment manager to the Funds. The Agreement provides for an annual management fee, payable daily, at the annual rate of 0.55% of each Fund's managed assets.
In order to reduce the Funds' expenses, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment adviser fee at the annual rate 0.20% of the average daily net value of each Fund's managed assets, inclusive of any assets attributable to any preferred shares that may be issued, from the commencement of operations through December 31, 2007, and at a declining rate thereafter through December 31, 2010. Effective January 1, 2009 and continuing through December 31, 2009, the contractual waiver was reduced to 0.10%. Effective January 1, 2010 and continuing through December 31, 2010, the contractual waiver was reduced to 0.05%. For the year ended November 30, 2010, the Adviser waived $65,837 and $74,506 of its Annual Shareholder Report
Administrative Fee
Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Funds with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of certain Federated funds as specified below:
Administrative Fee | Average
Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds |
0.150% | on the first $5 billion |
0.125% | on the next $5 billion |
0.100% | on the next $10 billion |
0.075% | on assets in excess of $20 billion |
The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FAS can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion. For the year ended November 30, 2010, FAS waived its entire fee of $150,000 on each Fund.
Interfund Transactions
During the year ended November 30, 2010, the Funds engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and were as follows:
Purchases | Sales |
Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund | $18,690,000 | $19,840,000 |
Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund | $36,940,000 | $38,640,000 |
General
Certain Officers and Trustees of the Funds are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.
On February 13, 2003, Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund offered 2,147 and 2,441 Auction Market Preferred Shares (AMPS), respectively. The AMPS are redeemable at the option of the Funds at the redemption price of $25,000 per share plus an amount equal to accumulated, but unpaid dividends thereon through the redemption date. As of November 30, 2010, Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund currently have outstanding 1,463 and 1,676 AMPS, respectively.
Annual Shareholder Report
Whenever AMPS are outstanding, common shareholders will not be entitled to receive any distributions from the Funds unless all accrued dividends on preferred shares have been paid, the Funds satisfy the 200% asset coverage requirement, and certain other requirements imposed by any nationally recognized statistical ratings organizations (NRSROs) rating the preferred shares have been met. Should these requirements not be met, or should dividends accrued on the AMPS not be paid, the Funds may be restricted in their ability to declare dividends to common shareholders or may be required to redeem certain of the AMPS. At November 30, 2010, there were no such restrictions on the Funds.
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations, for the year ended November 30, 2010, were as follows:
Purchases | Sales |
Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund | $23,110,112 | $22,859,177 |
Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund | $43,186,566 | $41,368,823 |
Since February 2004, Federated Investors, Inc. and related entities (collectively, “Federated”), have been named as defendants in several lawsuits that are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. These lawsuits have been consolidated into a single action alleging excessive advisory fees involving one of the Federated-sponsored mutual funds (“Federated Funds”). Federated and its counsel have been defending this litigation. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these lawsuits, all of which seek monetary damages, attorneys' fees and expenses, and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Federated Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from the allegations in these matters will not result in increased redemptions, or reduced sales, of shares of the Federated Funds or other adverse consequences for the Federated Funds.
9. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
For the year ended November 30, 2010, 100.0% of the distributions from net investment income for each Fund is exempt from federal income tax, other than the federal AMT.
Annual Shareholder ReportReport of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
TO THE BOARD OF Trustees AND SHAREHOLDERS OF Federated premier municipal income fund and federated premier intermediate municipal income fund:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund (the “Funds”) including the portfolios of investments, as of November 30, 2010, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and others. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund, the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Annual Shareholder Report
Evaluation
and Approval of Advisory
Contract – May
2010
Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund (“FMN” or the “Fund”)
Federated
Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund
(“FPT” or the
“Fund”)
The Fund's Board reviewed each Fund's investment advisory contract at meetings held in May 2010. The Board's decision regarding these contracts reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.
In this connection, the Federated funds' Board had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent, written evaluation that covered topics discussed below. The Board considered that evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract.
During its review of these contracts, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser. This included the fees received for services provided to the Fund by other entities in the Federated organization and research services received by the Adviser from brokers that execute Federated fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the performance of the Fund; the Adviser's cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as the Fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser's relationship with the Fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant bearing on the Adviser's services and fees. The Board further considered management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser for what might be viewed as like services and the cost to the Adviser and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit and profit margins of the Adviser and its affiliates for supplying such services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund's advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.
Annual Shareholder Report
With respect to the Fund's performance and expenses in particular, the Board has found the use of comparisons to other closed-end funds with comparable investment programs to be relevant, given the high degree of competition in the investment company industry. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar funds more heavily than non-fund products or services because it is believed that they are more relevant. For example, other closed-end funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in Annual Shareholder Report
The Senior Officer reviewed reports compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other regulated investment companies, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups are relevant in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.
For the periods covered by the report, FMN's performance for the one-year and five-year periods was above the median of the relevant peer group, and FMN's performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for the three-year period. The Board discussed FMN's performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and the performance of FMN.
For the periods covered by the report, FPT's performance for the one-year and five-year periods was above the median of the relevant peer group, and FPT's performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for the three-year period. The Board discussed FPT's performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and the performance of FPT.
The Board also received financial information about Federated, including reports on the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. These reports covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated's subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds' administrator). The reports also discussed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board Annual Shareholder Report
Federated furnished reports, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund by fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund-by-fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, although they may apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs (and the unavoidable arbitrary aspects of that exercise) and the lack of consensus on how to allocate those costs may render such allocation reports unreliable. The allocation reports were considered in the analysis by the Board but were determined to be of limited use.
The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed a report compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer noted the limited availability of such information, but nonetheless concluded that Federated's profit margins did not appear to be excessive and the Board agreed.
The Board also considered whether the Fund might benefit from “economies of scale” and noted that, as a “closed-end fund,” which has made an offering of a fixed number of common shares and (other than the issuance of preferred shares contemplated at the time of the Fund's initial public offering) has not made and does not expect to make additional offerings to raise more assets (although it may make additional offerings to replace existing preferred shares), the Fund is unlikely to grow materially in size and, as a consequence, there are no meaningful “economies of scale” to be realized from internal growth. Accordingly, the Board concluded that this was not a relevant consideration in its overall evaluation.
It was noted in the materials for the Board meeting that for the period covered by the report, FMN's investment advisory fee was below the median of the relevant peer group. The Board reviewed the fees and other expenses of FMN with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of FMN remained competitive.
It was noted in the materials for the Board meeting that for the period covered by the report, FPT's investment advisory fee was below the median of the relevant peer group. The Board reviewed the fees and other expenses of FPT with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of FPT remained competitive.
Annual Shareholder Report
In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund's operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that many shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser's industry standing and reputation and with the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board's approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund.
The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board's decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated's performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.
Annual Shareholder ReportDividend Reinvestment Plan
The following description of each Fund's Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”) is furnished to you annually as required by federal securities laws.
Unless the registered owner of a Fund's common shares elects to receive cash by contacting Computershare Trust Co., N.A. (the “Plan Administrator”), all dividends declared on common shares of the Fund will be automatically reinvested by the Plan Administrator, as agent for shareholders in the Plan, in additional common shares of the Fund. Common shareholders who elect not to participate in the Plan will receive all dividends and other distributions in cash. You may elect not to participate in the Plan and to receive all dividends in cash by contacting the Plan Administrator at the address set forth below if your Shares are registered in your name, or by contacting your bank, broker, or other nominee if your Shares are held in street or other nominee name. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by written notice to the Plan Administrator. Such notice will be effective for a dividend if received and processed by the Plan Administrator prior to the dividend record date; otherwise the notice will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution. Some brokers may automatically elect to receive cash on your behalf and may reinvest that cash in additional common shares of the Fund for you. If you wish for all dividends declared on your common shares to be automatically reinvested pursuant to the Plan, please contact your broker.
The Plan Administrator will open an account for each common shareholder under the Plan in the same name in which the shareholder's common shares are registered. Whenever the Fund declares a dividend or other distribution payable in cash (together, a “dividend”), non-participants in the Plan will receive cash, and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in common shares. The common shares will be acquired by the Plan Administrator for the participants' accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either: (1) through receipt from the Fund of additional authorized but unissued common shares (“newly issued common shares”); or (2) by purchase of outstanding common shares on the open market (“open-market purchases”) on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere. If, on the payment date for a dividend, the closing market price plus estimated brokerage commissions per common share is equal to or greater than the net asset value (NAV) per common share, the Plan Administrator will invest the dividend amount on behalf of the participants in newly issued common shares. The number of newly issued common shares to be credited to each participant's account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the NAV per common share on the payment date; provided that, if the NAV is less than or equal to 95% of the closing market value on the payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the closing market price per common share on the payment date. If, on the payment date for any dividend, Annual Shareholder Report
In the event of a market discount on the payment date for any dividend, the Plan Administrator will have until the last business day before the next date on which the common shares trade on an “ex-dividend” basis or 30 days after the payment date for such dividend, whichever is sooner (the “last purchase date”), to invest the dividend amount in common shares acquired in open-market purchases. It is contemplated that the Funds will pay monthly income dividends. Therefore, the period during which open-market purchases can be made will exist only from the payment date of each dividend through the day before the next “ex-dividend” date, which will be approximately ten days. If, before the Plan Administrator has completed its open-market purchases, the market price per common share exceeds the NAV per common share, the average per share purchase price paid by the Plan Administrator may exceed the NAV of the common shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer common shares than if the dividend had been paid in newly issued common shares on the dividend payment date. Because of the foregoing difficulty with respect to open-market purchases, the Plan provides that if the Plan Administrator is unable to invest the full dividend amount in open-market purchases during the purchase period or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Administrator may cease making open-market purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the dividend amount in newly issued common shares at the NAV per common share at the close of business on the last purchase date; provided that, if the NAV is less than or equal to 95% of the then current market price per common share, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date.
The Plan Administrator maintains all shareholders' accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information needed by shareholders for tax records. Common shares in the account of each Plan participant will be held by the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Plan participant, and each shareholder proxy will include those shares purchased or received pursuant to the Plan. The Plan Administrator will forward all proxy solicitation materials to participants and vote proxies for shares held under the Plan in accordance with the instructions of the participants.
In the case of record shareholders such as banks, brokers, or nominees which hold common shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Administrator will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of common shares certified from time to time by the record holder as held for the account of beneficial owners who participate in the Plan.
Annual Shareholder Report
Each Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate its Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants with regard to purchases in the Plan; however, each Fund reserves the right to amend its Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants.
All correspondence or questions concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Administrator, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43011, Providence, RI 02940-3011 or by telephone at (800) 730-6001.
