* In October 2005, the Board of Trustees of the Putnam Funds initiated the closed-end fund share repurchase program, which, as subsequently amended, authorized the fund to repurchase of up to 10% of its fund's outstanding common shares over the two-years ending October 5, 2007. The Trustees have subsequently renewed the program on an annual basis. The program renewed by the Board in September 2023, which was in effect between October 1, 2023 and September 30, 2024, allowed the fund to repurchase up to 9,643,172 of its shares. The program renewed by the Board in September 2024, which is in effect between October 1, 2024 and September 30, 2025, allows the fund to repurchase up to 9,559,802 of its shares. **Information prior to October 1, 2024, is based on the total number of shares eligible for repurchase under the program, as amended through September 2023. Information from October 1, 2024 forward is based on the total number of shares eligible for repurchase under the program, as amended through September 2024.
