#### Managed

#### Distribution

#### Policy
:

The

Fund

has

implemented

a

managed

distribution

plan

(the

"Distribution

Plan")

whereby

the

Fund

will

distribute

a

level

distribution

amount

to

shareholders.

Until

May

31,

2026,

the

Fund

made

monthly

distributions

to

shareholders

at

the

rate

of

$0.0393

per

share.

Effective

June

1,

2026,

the

Fund

intends

to

make

monthly

distributions

to

shareholders

at

the

rate

of

$0.0520

per

share.

Management

will

generally

distribute

amounts

necessary

to

satisfy

the

Distribution

Plan

and

the

requirements

prescribed

by

excise

tax

rules

and

Subchapter

M

of

the

Internal

Revenue

Code

of

1986,

as

amended

(the

"Code").

The

Distribution

Plan

is

intended

to

provide

shareholders

with

a

consistent

distribution

each

month

and

is

intended

to

narrow

the

discount

between

the

market

price

and

the

Net

Asset

Value

(NAV)

of

the

Fund's

common

shares,

but

there

is

no

assurance

that

the

Distribution

Plan

will

be

successful

in

doing

so.

Under

the

Distribution

Plan,

to

the

extent

that

sufficient

investment

income

is

not

available

on

a

monthly

basis,

the

Fund

will

distribute

long-term

capital

gains

and/or

return

of

capital

in

order

to

maintain

its

managed

distribution

rate.

No

conclusions

should

be

drawn

about

the

Fund's

investment

performance

from

the

amount

of

the

Fund's

distributions

or

from

the

terms

of

the

Fund's

Distribution

Plan.

The

Board

may

amend

the

terms

of

the

Distribution

Plan

or

terminate

the

Distribution

Plan

at

any

time

without

prior

notice

to

the

Fund's

shareholders,

however,

at

this

time

there

are

no

reasonably

foreseeable

circumstances

that

might

cause

the

termination

of

the

Distribution

Plan.

The

amendment

or

termination

of

the

Distribution

Plan

could

have

an

adverse

effect

on

the

market

price

of

the

Fund's

common

shares.

The

Distribution

Plan

will

be

subject

to

the

periodic

review

by

the

Board,

including

a

yearly

review

of

the

annual

minimum

fixed

rate

to

determine

if

an

adjustment

should

be

made.

Shareholders

should

not

draw

any

conclusions

about

the

Fund's

investment

performance

from

the

amount

of

the

current

distribution

or

from

the

terms

of

the

Distribution

Plan.

The

Fund

will

send

a

Form

1099-DIV

to

shareholders

for

the

calendar

year

that

will

describe

how

to

report

the

Fund's

distributions

for

federal

income

tax

purposes.

Annual

Report

Putnam

Municipal

Opportunities

Trust

Dear

Shareholder,

This

annual

report

for

Putnam

Municipal

Opportunities

Trust

covers

the

fiscal

year

ended

April

30,

2026

.

Fund

Overview

Q. #### What

#### is

#### the

#### Fund's

#### investment

#### strategy?
A. The

goal

of

the

Fund

is

to

seek

as

high

a

level

of

current

income

exempt

from

federal

income

tax

consistent

with

preservation

of

capital.

The

Fund

intends

to

achieve

its

goal

by

investing

in

a

portfolio

of

investment-grade

and

some

below

investment-grade

municipal

bonds

selected

by

Putnam

Management.

The

Fund

also

uses

leverage,

primarily

by

issuing

preferred

shares

in

an

effort

to

enhance

the

returns

for

the

common

shareholders.

The

Fund's

shares

trade

on

a

stock

exchange

at

market

prices,

which

may

be

lower

than

the

Fund's

net

asset

value.

The

Fund's

use

of

leverage

involves

risks,

which

are

discussed

in

more

detail

below,

and

may

increase

the

volatility

of

the

Fund's

net

asset

value.

Q. #### What

#### were

#### the

#### overall

#### market

#### conditions

#### during

#### the

#### Fund's

#### reporting

#### period?
A. Over

the

period

under

review,

the

municipal

(muni)

bond

market

navigated

two

significant

geopolitical

disruptions

and

a

shifting

U.S.

Federal

Reserve

(Fed)

policy

stance,

all

of

which

contributed

to

meaningful

volatility

across

fixed

income

markets.

The

period

began

amid

the

fallout

from

sweeping

U.S.

tariff

announcements,

which

triggered

sharp

equity

market

corrections,

elevated

risk

aversion

and

a

rise

in

U.S.

Treasury

(UST)

yields.

As

trade

tensions

gradually

eased

and

inflation

moderated,

the

Fed

pivoted

toward

monetary

easing,

delivering

a

cumulative

basis

points

(bps)

of

rate

cuts

during

the

reporting

period,

bringing

the

federal

funds

target

range

to

3.50%-3.75%

by

December

2025. New

tax-

exempt

muni

bond

issuance

surpassed

$500

billion

for

2025,

setting

a

new

annual

record.

Overall

muni

bond

issuance,

including

tax-exempt

and

taxable,

came

in

just

below

$580

billion

during

the

period

under

review.

Geopolitical

risks

resurfaced

in

late

February

2026

when

a

conflict

in

the

Middle

East

severely

disrupted

the

Strait

of

Hormuz,

pushing

Brent

crude

above

$110

per

barrel.

At

its

March

2026

meeting,

the

Fed

held

rates

steady,

signaling

it

would

look

through

any

initial

oil

supply

shock

on

inflation

while

retaining

an

easing

bias.

The

period

closed

on

a

constructive

note.

New

issuance

in

2026

is

tracking

more

than

10%

above

2025's

pace,

driven

by

ongoing

infrastructure

capital

requirements,

in

our

view.

Credit

fundamentals

remained

resilient

throughout

the

period,

supported

by

healthy

state

and

local

reserves.

By

period-end,

the

yield

on

the

benchmark

10-year

UST

yield

had

increased

by

bps

to

4.37%.

In

contrast,

muni

yields

fell

across

most

tenors.

Q. #### How

#### did

#### we

#### respond

#### to

#### these

#### changing

#### market

#### conditions?
A. The

Fund

maintained

an

overweight

to

lower-rated

investment-grade

(IG)

and

the

highest-rated

high-yield

(HY)

portions

of

the

investment

universe,

while

remaining

underweight

to

both

highly

rated

IG

and

the

most

speculative

HY

portions

of

the

market.

By

period

end,

the

Fund's

largest

sector

allocations

were

in

transportation,

health

care

and

housing-related

bonds.

The

Fund

maintained

a

longer

duration

than

the

benchmark,

with

an

underweight

to

the

very

front

end

of

the

yield

curve.

Performance

Overview

For

the

months

under

review,

the

Fund

posted

cumulative

total

returns

of

+9.21%

based

on

market

price

and

+8.15%

based

on

net

asset

value.

In

comparison,

the

Bloomberg

Municipal

Bond

Index,

which

is

a

broad

measure

of

the

municipal

bond

market

with

maturities

of

at

one

year,

posted

a

Financial

Statements

1. #### Organization

#### and

#### Significant

#### Accounting

#### Policies
Putnam

Municipal

Opportunities

Trust (Fund)

is

registered under

the

Investment

Company

Act

of

1940

(1940

Act)

as

a

closed-end

management

investment

company.

The

Fund

follows

the

accounting

and

reporting

guidance

in

Financial

Accounting

Standards

Board

(FASB)

Accounting

Standards

Codification

Topic

946,

Financial

Services

–

Investment

Companies

(ASC

946)

and

applies

the

specialized

accounting

and

reporting

guidance

in

U.S.

Generally

Accepted

Accounting

Principles

(U.S.

GAAP),

including,

but

not

limited

to,

ASC

946. On

May

15,

2026,

the

Fund's

Board

of

Trustees

approved

a

proposal

to

change

the

name

of

the

Fund

to

Franklin

Municipal

Opportunities

Trust,

effective

July

15,

2026. The

following

summarizes

the

Fund's

significant

accounting

policies.

a. #### Financial

#### Instrument

#### Valuation
The

Fund's

investments

in

financial

instruments

are

carried

at

fair

value

daily.

Fair

value

is

the

price

that

would

be

received

to

sell

an

asset

or

paid

to

transfer

a

liability

in

an

orderly

transaction

between

market

participants

on

the

measurement

date.

The

Fund

calculates

the

net

asset

value

(NAV)

per

share

each business

day as

of

p.m.

Eastern

time

or

the

regularly

scheduled

close

of

the

New

York

Stock

Exchange

(NYSE),

whichever

is

earlier.

Under

compliance

policies

and

procedures

approved

by

the Fund's

Board

of

Trustees

(the

Board),

the

Board

has

designated

the

Fund's

investment

manager

as

the

valuation

designee

and

has

responsibility

for

oversight

of

valuation.

The

investment

manager

is

assisted

by

the

Fund's

administrator

in

performing

this

responsibility,

including

leading

the

cross-

functional

Valuation

Committee

(VC).

The

Fund

may

utilize

independent

pricing

services,

quotations

from

securities

and

financial

instrument

dealers,

and

other

market

sources

to

determine

fair

value.

Debt

securities

generally

trade

in

the over-the-counter

(OTC)

market

rather

than

on

a

securities

exchange.

The

Fund's

pricing

services

use

multiple

valuation

techniques

to

determine

fair

value.

In

instances

where

sufficient

market

activity

exists,

the

pricing

services

may

utilize

a

market-based

approach

through

which

quotes

from

market

makers

are

used

to

determine

fair

value.

In

instances

where

sufficient

market

activity

may

not

exist

or

is

limited,

the

pricing

services

also

utilize

proprietary

valuation

models

which

may

consider

market

characteristics

such

as

benchmark

yield

curves,

credit

spreads,

estimated

default

rates,

anticipated

market

interest

rate

volatility,

coupon

rates,

anticipated

timing

of

principal

repayments,

underlying

collateral,

and

other

unique

security

features

in

order

to

estimate

the

relevant

cash

flows,

which

are

then

discounted

to

calculate

the

fair

value.

Investments

in open-end mutual

funds

are

valued

at

the

closing

NAV.

The

Fund

has

procedures

to

determine

the

fair

value

of

financial

instruments

for

which

market

prices

are

not

reliable

or

readily

available.

Under

these

procedures,

the Fund

primarily

employs

a

market-based

approach

which

may

use

related

or

comparable

assets

or

liabilities,

recent

transactions,

market

multiples,

and

other

relevant

information

for

the

investment

to

determine

the

fair

value

of

the

investment.

An

income-based

valuation

approach

may

also

be

used

in

which

the

anticipated

future

cash

flows

of

the

investment

are

discounted

to

calculate

fair

value.

Discounts

may

also

be

applied

due

to

the

nature

or

duration

of

any

restrictions

on

the

disposition

of

the

investments.

Due

to

the

inherent

uncertainty

of

valuations

of

such

investments,

the

fair

values

may

differ

significantly

from

the

values

that

would

have

been

used

had

an

active

market

existed.

b. #### Securities

#### Purchased

#### on

#### a

#### When-Issued,

#### Forward

#### Commitment or

#### Delayed

#### Delivery

#### Basis
The

Fund

may

purchase

securities

on

a when-issued,

forward

commitment

or

delayed

delivery basis,

with

payment

and

delivery

scheduled

for

a

future

date.

These

transactions

are

subject

to

market

fluctuations

and

are

subject

to

the

risk

that

the

value

at

delivery

may

be

more

or

less

than

the

trade

date

purchase

price.

Although

the

Fund

will

generally

purchase

these

securities

with

the

intention

of

holding

the

securities, it

may

sell

the

securities

before

the

settlement

date.

c. #### Tender

#### Option

#### Bonds
The

Fund

may

participate

in

transactions

whereby

a

fixed-

rate

bond

is

transferred

to

a

tender

option

bond

trust

(TOB

trust)

sponsored

by

a

broker.

The

TOB

trust

funds

the

purchase

of

the

fixed

rate

bonds

by

issuing

floating-rate

bonds

to

third

parties

and

allowing

the

Fund

to

retain

the

residual

interest

in

the

TOB

trust's

assets

and

cash

flows,

which

are

in

the

form

of

inverse

floating

rate

bonds.

The

inverse

floating

rate

bonds

held

by

the

Fund

give

the

Fund

Putnam

Municipal

Opportunities

Trust

Notes

to

Financial

Statements

franklintempleton.com

Annual

Report

the

right

to

(1) cause

the

holders

of

the

floating

rate

bonds

to

tender

their

notes

at

par,

and

(2) to

have

the

fixed-rate

bond

held

by

the

TOB

trust

transferred

to

the

Fund,

causing

the

TOB

trust

to

collapse.

The

Fund

accounts

for

the

transfer

of

the

fixed-rate

bond

to

the

TOB

trust

as

a

secured

borrowing

by

including

the

fixed-rate

bond

in

the

Fund's

portfolio

and

including

the

floating

rate

bond

as

a

liability

in

the

Statement

of

Assets

and

Liabilities.

At

the

close

of

the

reporting

period,

the

Fund's

investments

with

a

value

of

$30,766,631

were

held

by

the

TOB

trust

and

served

as

collateral

for

$21,914,391 in

floating-rate

bonds

outstanding.

For

the

reporting

period

ended

April

30,

2026,

the

average

monthly

amount

of

floating

rate

notes

outstanding

was

$16,546,108,

and

the

Fund

incurred

interest

expense

of

$525,173

for

these

investments

based

on

an

average

interest

rate

of

2.52%.

d. #### Derivative

#### Financial

#### Instruments
The

Fund invested

in

derivative

financial

instruments

in

order

to

manage

risk

or

gain

exposure

to

various

other

investments

or

markets.

Derivatives

are

financial

contracts

based

on

an

underlying

or

notional

amount,

require

no

initial

investment

or

an

initial

net

investment

that

is

smaller

than

would

normally

be

required

to

have

a

similar

response

to

changes

in

market

factors,

and

require

or

permit

net

settlement.

Derivatives

contain

various

risks

including

the

potential

inability

of

the

counterparty

to

fulfill

their

obligations

under

the

terms

of

the

contract,

the

potential

for

an

illiquid

secondary

market,

and/or

the

potential

for

market

movements

which

expose

the

Fund

to

gains

or

losses

in

excess

of

the

amounts

shown

in

the

Statement

of

Assets

and

Liabilities.

Realized

gain

and

loss

and

unrealized

appreciation

and

depreciation

on

these

contracts

for

the

period

are

included

in

the

Statement

of

Operations.

The

Fund

entered

into

exchange

traded

futures

contracts

primarily

to

manage

and/or

gain

exposure

to

interest

rate

risk.

A

futures

contract

is

an

agreement

between

the

Fund

and

a

counterparty

to

buy

or

sell

an

asset

at

a

specified

price

on

a

future

date.

Required

initial

margins

are

pledged

by

the

Fund,

and

the

daily

change

in

fair

value

is

accounted

for

as

a

variation

margin

payable

or

receivable

in

the

Statement

of

Assets

and

Liabilities.

Futures

contracts

outstanding

at

period

end,

if

any,

are

listed

in

the

Fund's

Schedule

of

Investments.

See

Note

regarding

other

derivative

information.

e. #### Income

#### Taxes
It

is the Fund's

policy

to

qualify

as

a

regulated

investment

company

under

the

Internal

Revenue

Code. The Fund

intends

to

distribute

to

shareholders

substantially

all

of

its

taxable

income

and

net

realized

gains

to

relieve

it

from

federal

income

and if

applicable,

excise

taxes.

As

a

result,

no

provision

for

U.S.

federal

income

taxes

is

required.

The Fund

may

recognize

an

income

tax

liability

has

related

for

any

open

(or

The

Fund's

and

federal

excise

tax

for

are

rates.

Dividends

on

remarketed

preferred

shares

become

payable

when,

as

and

if

declared

by

the

Trustees.

Each

dividend

period

for

the

remarketed

preferred

shares

is

generally

a

day

period.

The

applicable

dividend

rate

for

the

remarketed

preferred

shares

on April

30,

2026

was

5.69%

for

Series

B

and

5.69%

for

Series

C

shares.

The

amount

and

character

of

income

and

gains

to

be

distributed

are

determined

in

accordance

with

income

tax

regulations,

which

may

differ

from

generally

accepted

accounting

principles.

Dividend

sources

are

estimated

at

the

time

of

declaration.

Actual

results

may

vary.

Any

non-

taxable

return

of

capital

cannot

be

determined

until

final

tax

calculations

are

completed

after

the

end

of

the

Fund's

fiscal

year.

Reclassifications

are

made

to

the

Fund's

capital

accounts

to

reflect

income

and

gains

available

for

distribution

(or

available

capital

loss

carryovers)

under

income

tax

regulations.

During

the

reporting

period,

the

Fund

has

experienced

unsuccessful

remarketings

of

its

remarketed

preferred

shares.

As

a

result,

dividends

to

the

remarketed

preferred

shares

have

been

paid

at

the

"maximum

dividend

rate,"

pursuant

to

the

Fund's

by-laws,

which,

based

on

the

current

credit

quality

of

the

remarketed

preferred

shares,

equals

110%

of

the

higher

of

the

30-day

"AA"

composite

commercial

paper

rate

and

the

taxable

equivalent

of

the

short-term

municipal

bond

rate.

g. #### Insurance
The

scheduled

payments

of

interest

and

principal

for

each

insured

municipal

security

in

the

Fund

are

insured

by

either

a

new

issue

insurance

policy

or

a

secondary

insurance

policy.

Depending

on

the

type

of

coverage,

premiums

for

insurance

are

either

added

to

the

cost

basis

of

the

security

or

paid

by

a

third

party.

Insurance

companies

typically

insure

municipal

bonds

that

tend

to

be

of

very

high

quality,

with

the

majority

of

underlying

municipal

bonds

rated

A

or

better.

However,

an

event

involving

an

insurer

could

have

an

adverse

effect

on

the

value

of

the

securities

insured

by

that

insurance

company.

There

can

be

no

assurance

the

insurer

will

be

able

to

fulfill

its

obligations

under

the

terms

of

the

policy.

h. #### Accounting

#### Estimates
The

preparation

of

financial

statements

in

accordance

with

U.S.

GAAP

requires

management

to

make

estimates

and

assumptions

that

affect

the

reported

amounts

of

assets

and

liabilities

at

the

date

of

the

financial

statements

and

the

amounts

of

income

and

expenses

during

the

reporting

period.

Actual

results

could

differ

from

those

estimates.

i. #### Guarantees

#### and

#### Indemnifications
Under

the Fund's

organizational

documents,

its

officers

and trustees

are

indemnified

by

the

Fund against

certain

liabilities

arising

out

of

the

performance

of

their

duties

to

the

Fund.

Additionally,

in

the

normal

course

of

business,

the

Fund

enters

into

contracts

with

service

providers

that

contain

general

indemnification

clauses.

The Fund's

maximum

exposure

under

these

arrangements

is

unknown

as

this

would

involve

future

claims

that

may

be

made

against

the Fund

that

have

not

yet

occurred.

Currently,

the Fund

expects

the

risk

of

loss

to

be

remote.

2. #### Shares

#### of

#### Beneficial

#### Interest
At

April

30,

2026,

there

were

an

unlimited

number

of

shares

authorized

(without

par

value).

During

the

years

ended

April

30,

2026

and

2025,

there

were

no

shares

issued;

all

reinvested

distributions

were

satisfied

with

previously

issued

shares

purchased

in

the

open

market.

In

September

2025,

the

Board

authorized

management

to

renew

the

Fund's

open-market

share

repurchase

program.

Under

the

program,

the

Fund

may

purchase,

from

time

to

time,

fund

shares

in

open-market

transactions,

at

the

discretion

of

management.

This

authorization

remains

in

effect.

Repurchases

are

made

when

the

Fund's

shares

are

trading

at

less

than

net

asset

value

and

therefore

increase

the

net

asset

value

per

share

of

the

Fund's

remaining

shares.

3. #### Preferred

#### Shares
The

Series

B

(2,852)

and

C

(2,670)

remarketed

preferred

shares

are

redeemable

at

the

option

of

the

Fund

on

any

dividend

payment

date

at

a

redemption

price

of

$25,000

per

remarketed

preferred

share,

plus

an

amount

equal

to

any

dividends

accumulated

on

a

daily

basis

but

unpaid

through

the

redemption

date

(whether

or

not

such

dividends

have

been

declared)

and,

in

certain

circumstances,

a

call

premium.

It

is

anticipated

that

dividends

paid

to

holders

of

remarketed

preferred

shares

will

be

considered

tax-exempt

dividends

under

the

Internal

Revenue

Code

of

1986. To

the

extent

that

the

Fund

earns

taxable

income

and

capital

gains

by

the

conclusion

of

a

fiscal

year,

it

may

be

required

to

apportion

to

the

holders

of

the

remarketed

preferred

shares

throughout

that

year

additional

dividends

as

necessary

to

result

in

an

after-tax

equivalent

to

the

applicable

dividend

rate

for

the

period.

Under

the

1940

Act,

the

Fund

is

required

to

maintain

asset

coverage

of

at

least

200%

with

respect

to

the

remarketed

preferred

shares.

Additionally,

the

Fund's

bylaws

impose

more

stringent

asset

coverage

requirements

and

restrictions

relating

to

the

rating

of

the

remarketed

preferred

shares

by

the

shares'

rating

agencies.

Should

these

requirements

not

be

met,

or

should

dividends

accrued

on

the

remarketed

preferred

shares

not

be

paid,

the

Fund

may

be

restricted

in

its

ability

to

declare

dividends

to

common

shareholders

or

may

be

required

to

redeem

certain

of

the

remarketed

preferred

shares.

At

April

30,

2026,

no

such

restrictions

have

been

placed

on

the

Fund.

On

March

30,

2026,

the

Fund

repurchased

Series

B

and

Series

C

shares

in

a

private

transaction

at

an

aggregate

purchase

price

of

$22,500

per

share.

The

private

transaction

purchase

price

represented

90.0%

of

the

liquidation

preference

($25,000

per

share)

of

the

Series

B

and

Series

C

remarketed

preferred

shares.

The

difference

between

the

liquidation

preference

of

the

remarketed

preferred

shares

and

the

actual

purchase

price

of

the

private

sale

was

recognized

by

the

Fund

in

the

Statement

of

Changes

in

Net

Assets

as

an

increase

in

net

assets

applicable

to

common

shares

resulting

from

the

repurchase

of

preferred

shares

by

the

Fund.

Differences

#### Transactions
Purchases

7. #### Credit

#### Risk

#### and

#### Defaulted

#### Securities
At

April

30,

2026,

the

Fund

had 12.6% of

its

portfolio

invested

in

high

yield

securities

rated

below

investment

grade

and

unrated

securities.

These

securities

may

be

more

sensitive

to

economic

conditions

causing

greater

price

volatility

and

are

potentially

subject

to

a

greater

risk

of

loss

due

to

default

than

higher

rated

securities.

The

Fund held

a defaulted

security

and/or

other

securities

for

which

the

income

has

been

deemed

uncollectible.

At

April

30,

2026,

the

value

of

this

security represents less

than

0.1%

of

the

Fund's net

assets.

The

follows

a

that

distinguishes

between

market

data

obtained

from

independent

sources

(observable

and

the Fund's

assumptions

(unobservable

These

inputs

are

used

in

determining

the

of

the

and

are

summarized

in

the

etc.)

Level

–

(including

the

#### Opinion

#### on

#### Statements
We

have

audited

the

accompanying

statement

of

assets

and

liabilities,

including

the

schedule

of

investments,

of

Putnam

Municipal

Opportunities

Trust

(the

"Fund")

as

of

April

30,

2026,

the

related

statement

of

operations

for

the

year

ended

April

30,

2026,

the

statements

of

changes

in

net

for

each

of

the

two

years

in

the

period

ended

April

30,

2026,

including

the

and

the

of

the

five

years

in

the

period

ended

April

30,

2026

(collectively

referred

to

as

the

"financial

statements").

In

our

opinion,

the

financial

statements

present

fairly,

in

all

material

respects,

the

financial

position

of

the

Fund

as

of

April

30,

2026,

the

results

of

its

operations

for

the

year

the

changes

in

#### Basis

#### for

#### Opinion
These

financial

statements

are

the

responsibility

of

the

Fund's

management.

Our

responsibility

is

to

express

an

opinion

on

the

Fund's

financial

statements

based

on

our

audits.

We

are

a

public

accounting

firm

registered

with

the

Public

Company

Accounting

Oversight

Board

(United

States)

(PCAOB)

and

are

required

to

be

independent

with

respect

to

the

Fund

in

accordance

with

the

U.S.

federal

securities

laws

and

the

applicable

rules

and

regulations

of

the

Securities

and

Exchange

Commission

and

the

PCAOB.

We

conducted

our

audits

of

these

financial

statements

in

accordance

with

the

standards

of

the

PCAOB.

Those

standards

require

that

we

plan

and

perform

the

audit

to

obtain

reasonable

assurance

about

whether

the

financial

statements

are

free

of

material

misstatement,

whether

due

to

error

or

fraud.

Our

audits

included

performing

procedures

to

assess

the

risks

of

material

misstatement

of

the

financial

statements,

whether

due

to

error

or

fraud,

and

performing

procedures

that

respond

to

those

risks.

Such

procedures

included

examining,

on

a

test

basis,

evidence

regarding

the

amounts

and

disclosures

in

the

financial

statements.

Our

audits

also

included

evaluating

the

accounting

principles

used

and

significant

estimates

made

by

management,

as

well

as

evaluating

the

overall

presentation

of

the

financial

statements.

Our

procedures

included

confirmation

of

securities

owned

as

of

April

30,

2026

by

correspondence

with

the

custodian,

transfer

agent,

administrative

agent

for

tender

option

bond

trust,

and

broker;

when

replies

were

not

received

from

a

broker,

we

performed

other

auditing

procedures.

We

believe

that

our

audits

provide

a

reasonable

basis

our

opinion.

In

September

2025,

the

of

authorized

a

program

that

allows

the

Fund

to

repurchase,

beginning

October

up

to

10%

of

the

Fund's

common

shares

as

September

#### Distribution

#### Plan
The

Fund

has

implemented

a

managed

distribution

plan

(the

"Distribution

Plan")

whereby

the

Fund

will

distribute

a

level

distribution

amount

to

shareholders.

Until

May

31,

2026,

the

Fund

made

monthly

distributions

to

shareholders

at

the

rate

of

$0.0393

per

share.

Effective

June

1,

2026,

the

Fund

intends

to

make

monthly

distributions

to

shareholders

at

the

rate

of

$0.0520

per

share.

Management

will

generally

distribute

amounts

necessary

to

satisfy

the

Distribution

Plan

and

the

requirements

prescribed

by

excise

tax

rules

and

Subchapter

M

of

the

Internal

Revenue

Code.

The

Distribution

Plan

is

intended

to

provide

shareholders

with

a

consistent

distribution

each

month

and

is

intended

to

narrow

the

discount

between

the

market

price

and

the

NAV

of

the

Fund's

common

shares,

but

there

is

no

assurance

that

the

Distribution

Plan

will

be

successful

in

doing

so.

Under

the

Distribution

Plan,

to

the

extent

that

sufficient

investment

income

is

not

available

on

a

monthly

basis,

the

Fund

will

distribute

long-term

capital

gains

and/or

return

of

capital

in

order

to

maintain

its

managed

distribution

rate.

No

conclusions

should

be

drawn

about

the

Fund's

investment

performance

from

the

amount

of

the

Fund's

distributions

or

from

the

terms

of

the

Distribution

Plan.

The

Board

may

amend

the

terms

of

the

Distribution

Plan

or

terminate

the

Distribution

Plan

at

any

time

without

prior

notice

to

the

Fund's

shareholders;

however,

at

this

time

there

are

no

reasonably

foreseeable

circumstances

that

might

cause

the

termination

of

the

Distribution

Plan.

The

amendment

or

termination

of

the

Distribution

Plan

could

have

an

adverse

effect

on

the

market

price

of

the

Fund's

common

shares.

The

Distribution

Plan

will

be

subject

to

the

periodic

review

by

the

Board,

including

a

yearly

review

of

the

annual

minimum

fixed

rate

to

determine

if

an

adjustment

should

be

made.

Shareholders

should

not

draw

any

conclusions

about

the

Fund's

investment

performance

from

the

amount

of

the

current

distribution

or

from

the

terms

of

the

Distribution

Plan.

The

Fund

will

send

a

Form

1099-DIV

to

shareholders

for

the

calendar

year

that

will

describe

how

to

report

the

Fund's

distributions

for

federal

income

tax

purposes.

In

compliance

with

Rule

19a-1

of

the

1940

Act,

shareholders

will

receive

a

notice

that

details

the

source

of

income

for

each

dividend

such

as

net

investment

income,

gain

from

the

sale

of

securities

and

return

of

principal.

However,

determination

of

the

actual

source

of

the

Fund's

dividend

can

only

be

made

at

year-end.

The

actual

source

amounts

of

all

Fund

dividends

will

be

included

in

the

Fund's

annual

or

semiannual

reports.

In

addition,

the

tax

treatment

may

differ

from

the

accounting

treatment

used

to

calculate

the

source

of

the

Fund's

dividends

as

shown

on

shareholders'

statements.

Shareholders

should

refer

to

their

Form

1099-DIV

for

the

character

and

amount

of

distributions

for

income

tax

reporting

purposes.

Since

each

shareholder's

tax

situation

is

unique,

it

may

be

advisable

to

consult

a

tax

advisor

as

to

the

appropriate

treatment

of

Fund

distributions.

Annual

Report

The

Fund

intends

to

achieve

its

objective

by

investing

in

a

portfolio

of

investment-grade

and

some

below

investment-

grade

municipal

bonds

selected

by

Putnam

Management.

The

Fund

also

uses

leverage,

primarily

by

issuing

preferred

shares

in

an

effort

to

enhance

the

returns

for

the

common

shareholders.

The

Fund's

shares

trade

on

a

stock

exchange

at

market

prices,

which

may

be

lower

than

the

Fund's

net

asset

value.

The

Fund's

use

of

leverage

involves

risks,

which

are

discussed

in

more

detail

below,

and

may

increase

the

volatility

of

the

Fund's

NAV.

Under

normal

circumstances,

the

Fund's

allocation

to

the

investment

category

of

mortgage-backed

and

other

asset-

backed

securities

will

be

primarily

composed

of

investments

in

mortgage-backed

securities.

Under

normal

market

conditions,

the

Fund

will

invest

at

least

20%

of

its

assets

in

debt

securities

or

other

instruments

rated

below

investment

grade,

sometimes

called

"junk

bonds."

The

Fund

may

also

invest

in

investment

grade

debt

securities.

Investment

grade

debt

securities

are

rated

in

one

of

the

top

four

ratings

categories

by

a

nationally-recognized

statistical

rating

organization

(a

"Rating

Agency")

such

as

S&P,

Moody's

or

Fitch.

A

debt

security

rated

below

the

top

four

ratings

categories

by

each

Rating

Agency

rating

the

security

will

be

considered

below

investment

grade.

The

Fund

may

also

buy

unrated

debt

securities

or

other

income-producing

instruments.

The

Fund

may

invest

in

securities

or

other

instruments

whose

issuers

are

in

default

or

bankruptcy.

Under

normal

conditions,

the

Fund

will

not

invest

more

than

5%

of

its

total

assets

in

debt

securities

or

other

obligations

whose

issuers

are

in

default

at

the

time

of

purchase.

• #### Tax-exempt

#### investments.
These

investments

are

issued

by

or

for

states,

territories

or

possessions

of

the

United

States

or

by

their

political

subdivisions,

agencies,

authorities

or

other

government

entities,

and

the

income

from

these

investments

is

exempt

from

both

federal

and

the

applicable

state's

income

tax.

These

investments

are

issued

to

raise

money

for

public

purposes,

such

as

loans

for

the

construction

of

housing,

schools

or

hospitals,

or

to

provide

temporary

financing

in

anticipation

of

the

receipt

of

taxes

and

other

revenue.

They

also

include

private

activity

obligations

of

public

authorities

to

finance

privately

owned

or

operated

facilities.

Changes

in

law

or

adverse

determinations

by

the

Internal

Revenue

Service

could

make

the

income

from

some

of

these

obligations

taxable.

• #### Alternative

#### minimum

#### tax

#### risk.
The

Fund

may

invest

in

municipal

securities

and

private

activity

bonds

that

generate

interest

that

is

subject

to

federal

alternative

minimum

tax

(AMT).

As

a

result,

taxpayers

who

are

subject

to

the

AMT

potentially

could

earn

a

lower

after-tax

return.

Corporate

shareholders

will

be

required

to

include

all

exempt

interest

dividends

in

determining

their

federal

AMT.

For

more

information,

including

possible

state,

local

and

other

taxes,

contact

your

tax

advisor.

• #### General

#### obligations.
These

are

backed

by

the

issuer's

authority

to

levy

taxes

and

are

considered

an

obligation

of

the

issuer.

They

are

payable

from

the

issuer's

general

unrestricted

revenues,

although

payment

may

depend

upon

government

appropriation

or

aid

from

other

governments.

These

investments

may

be

vulnerable

to

legal

limits

on

a

government's

power

to

raise

revenue

or

increase

taxes,

as

well

as

economic

or

other

developments

that

can

reduce

revenues.

• #### Revenue

#### obligations.
These

are

payable

from

revenue

earned

by

a

particular

project

or

other

revenue

source.

They

include

private

activity

bonds

such

as

industrial

development

bonds,

which

are

paid

only

from

the

revenues

of

the

private

owners

or

operators

of

the

facilities.

Investors

can

look

only

to

the

revenue

generated

by

the

project

or

the

private

company

operating

the

project

rather

than

the

credit

of

the

state

or

local

government

authority

issuing

the

bonds.

Revenue

obligations

are

typically

subject

to

greater

credit

risk

than

general

obligations

because

of

the

relatively

limited

source

of

revenue.

• #### Tender

#### option

#### bonds.
The

Fund

may

leverage

its

assets

through

the

use

of

proceeds

received

through

tender

option

bond

transactions.

In

a

tender

option

bond

transaction,

the

Fund

transfers

a

fixed-rate

municipal

bond

to

a

special

purpose

entity

trust

(TOB

trust)

sponsored

by

a

broker.

The

TOB

trust

funds

the

purchase

of

the

fixed

rate

bonds

by

issuing

short-term

floating-rate

bonds

to

third

parties

and

allowing

the

Fund

to

retain

the

residual

interest

in

the

TOB

trust's

assets

and

cash

flows,

which

are

in

the

form

of

inverse

floating

rate

bonds.

The

inverse

floating

rate

bonds

held

by

the

Fund

give

the

Fund

the

right

to

(1) cause

the

holders

of

the

floating

rate

bonds

to

tender

their

notes

at

par,

and

(2) to

have

the

fixed-rate

bond

held

by

the

TOB

trust

transferred

to

the

Fund,

causing

the

TOB

trust

to

be

liquidated.

for

purposes

of

the

Fund's

80%

policy

referenced

below

under

the

heading

"The

Fund's

fundamental

investment

policies."

• #### Interest

#### rate

#### risk.
The

values

of

bonds

and

other

debt

instruments

usually

rise

and

fall

in

response

to

changes

in

interest

rates.

Interest

rates

can

change

in

response

to

the

supply

and

demand

for

credit,

government

and/or

central

bank

monetary

policy

and

action,

inflation

rates,

and

other

factors.

Declining

interest

rates

generally

result

in

an

increase

in

the

value

of

existing

debt

instruments,

and

rising

interest

rates

generally

result

in

a

decrease

in

the

value

of

existing

debt

instruments.

Changes

in

a

debt

instrument's

value

usually

will

not

affect

the

amount

of

interest

income

paid

to

the

Fund,

but

will

affect

the

value

of

the

Fund's

shares.

Interest

rate

risk

is

generally

greater

for

investments

with

longer

maturities.

Some

investments

give

the

issuer

the

option

to

call

or

redeem

an

investment

before

its

maturity

date.

If

an

issuer

calls

or

redeems

an

investment

during

a

time

of

declining

interest

rates,

we

might

have

to

reinvest

the

proceeds

in

an

investment

offering

a

lower

yield,

and,

therefore,

the

Fund

might

not

benefit

from

any

increase

in

value

as

a

result

of

declining

interest

rates.

• #### Credit

#### risk.
Investors

normally

expect

to

be

compensated

in

proportion

to

the

risk

they

are

assuming.

Thus,

debt

of

issuers

with

poor

credit

prospects

usually

offers

higher

yields

than

debt

of

issuers

with

more

secure

credit.

Higher-rated

investments

generally

have

lower

credit

risk.

We

invest

mainly

in

investment-grade

debt

investments.

These

are

rated

at

least

BBB

or

its

equivalent

at

the

time

of

purchase

by

a

nationally

recognized

securities

rating

agency,

or

are

unrated

investments

that

we

believe

are

of

comparable

quality.

We

may

invest

up

to

30%

of

the

Fund's

total

assets

in

non-investment-grade

investments.

However,

we

will

not

invest

in

investments

that

are

rated

lower

than

BB

or

its

equivalent

by

each

agency

rating

the

investment,

or

are

unrated

securities

that

we

believe

are

of

comparable

quality.

We

will

not

necessarily

sell

an

investment

if

its

rating

is

reduced

after

we

buy

it.

We

may

also

invest

in

investments

that

are

below-

investment-grade

(sometimes

referred

to

as

"junk

bonds"),

which

can

be

more

sensitive

to

changes

in

markets,

credit

conditions,

and

interest

rates

and

may

be

considered

speculative.

These

investments

are

rated

below

BBB

or

its

equivalent,

which

reflects

a

greater

possibility

that

the

issuers

may

be

unable

to

make

timely

payments

of

interest

and

principal

and

thus

default.

If

default

occurs,

or

is

perceived

as

likely

to

occur,

the

value

of

the

investment

will

usually

be

more

volatile

and

is

likely

to

fall.

The

value

of

a

debt

instrument

may

also

be

affected

by

changes

in,

or

perceptions

of,

the

financial

condition

of

the

issuer,

borrower,

counterparty,

or

other

entity,

or

underlying

collateral

or

assets,

or

changes

in,

or

perceptions

of,

specific

or

general

market,

economic,

industry,

political,

regulatory,

geopolitical,

environmental,

public

health,

and

other

conditions.

A

default

or

expected

default

could

also

make

it

difficult

for

us

to

sell

the

investment

at

a

price

approximating

the

value

we

had

previously

placed

on

it.

Tax-exempt

debt,

particularly

lower-

rated

tax-exempt

debt,

usually

has

a

more

limited

market

than

taxable

debt,

which

may

at

times

make

it

difficult

for

us

to

buy

or

sell

certain

debt

instruments

or

to

establish

their

fair

value.

Credit

risk

is

generally

greater

for

investments

that

are

required

to

make

interest

payments

only

at

maturity

rather

than

at

intervals

during

the

life

of

the

investment.

Bond

investments

may

be

more

susceptible

to

downgrades

or

defaults

during

economic

downturns

or

other

periods

of

economic

stress,

which

in

turn

could

affect

the

market

values

and

marketability

of

many

or

all

bond

obligations

of

issuers

in

a

state,

U.S.

territory,

or

possession.

We

may

buy

investments

that

are

insured

as

to

the

payment

of

principal

and

interest

in

the

event

the

issuer

defaults.

Any

reduction

in

the

insurer's

ability

to

pay

claims

may

adversely

affect

the

value

of

insured

investments

and,

consequently,

the

value

of

the

Fund's

shares.

• #### Focus

#### of

#### investments.
We

may

make

significant

investments

in

a

particular

segment

of

the

tax-exempt

debt

market,

such

as

tobacco

settlement

bonds

or

revenue

bonds

for

health

care

facilities,

housing

or

airports.

We

may

also

make

significant

investments

in

the

debt

of

issuers

located

in

the

same

state.

These

investments

may

cause

the

value

of

the

Fund's

shares

to

fluctuate

more

than

the

values

of

shares

of

the

funds

that

invest

in

a

greater

variety

of

investments.

Certain

events

may

adversely

affect

all

investments

within

a

particular

market

segment.

Examples

include

legislation

or

court

decisions,

concerns

about

pending

legislation

or

court

decisions,

and

lower

demand

for

the

services

or

products

provided

by

a

particular

market

segment.

Investing

in

issuers

located

in

the

same

state

may

make

the

Fund

more

vulnerable

to

that

state's

economy

and

to

factors

affecting

its

tax-exempt

issuers,

such

as

their

ability

to

collect

revenues

to

meet

payment

obligations.

franklintempleton.com

Annual

Report

At

times,

the

Fund

and

other

accounts

that

Putnam

Management

and

its

affiliates

manage

may

own

all

or

most

of

the

debt

of

a

particular

issuer.

This

concentration

of

ownership

may

make

it

more

difficult

to

sell,

or

to

determine

the

fair

value

of,

these

investments.

• #### Derivatives.
We

may

engage

in

a

variety

of

transactions

involving

derivatives,

such

as

municipal

rate

locks,

futures,

and

swap

contracts,

although

they

do

not

represent

a

primary

focus

of

the

Fund.

Derivatives

are

financial

instruments

whose

value

depends

upon,

or

is

derived

from,

the

value

of

something

else,

such

as

one

or

more

underlying

investments,

pools

of

investments

or

indexes.

We

may

make

use

of

"short"

derivative

positions,

the

values

of

which

typically

move

in

the

opposite

direction

from

the

price

of

the

underlying

investment,

pool

of

investments,

or

index.

We

may

use

derivatives

both

for

hedging

and

non-hedging

purposes,

such

as

to

modify

the

behavior

of

an

investment

so

that

it

responds

differently

than

it

would

otherwise

respond

to

changes

in

a

particular

interest

rate

or

to

modify

the

Fund's

duration.

For

example,

derivatives

may

increase

or

decrease

an

investment's

exposure

to

long-

or

short-term

interest

rates

or

cause

the

value

of

an

investment

to

move

in

the

opposite

direction

from

prevailing

short-term

or

long-term

interest

rates.

For

example,

we

may

use

interest

rate

swaps

to

hedge

or

gain

exposure

to

interest

rate

risk,

or

to

hedge

or

gain

exposure

to

inflation.

We

may

also

use

derivatives

to

adjust

the

Fund's

positioning

on

the

yield

curve

(a

line

that

plots

interest

rates

of

bonds

having

equal

credit

quality

but

differing

maturity

dates)

or

to

take

tactical

positions

along

the

yield

curve.

However,

we

may

also

choose

not

to

use

derivatives,

based

on

our

evaluation

of

market

conditions

or

the

availability

of

suitable

derivatives.

Investments

in

derivatives

may

be

applied

toward

meeting

a

requirement

to

invest

in

a

particular

kind

of

investment

if

the

derivatives

have

economic

characteristics

similar

to

that

investment.

Derivatives

involve

special

risks

and

may

result

in

losses.

The

successful

use

of

derivatives

depends

on

our

ability

to

manage

these

sophisticated

instruments.

Some

derivatives

are

"leveraged,"

which

means

they

provide

the

Fund

with

investment

exposure

greater

than

the

value

of

the

Fund's

investment

in

the

derivatives.

As

a

result,

these

derivatives

may

magnify

or

otherwise

increase

investment

losses

to

the

Fund.

The

risk

of

loss

from

certain

short

derivative

positions

is

theoretically

unlimited.

The

value

of

derivatives

may

move

in

unexpected

ways

due

to

unanticipated

market

movements,

the

use

of

leverage,

imperfect

correlation

between

the

derivative

instrument

and

the

reference

asset,

or

other

factors,

especially

in

unusual

market

conditions,

and

volatility

in

the

value

of

derivatives

could

adversely

impact

the

Fund's

returns,

obligations

and

exposures.

Other

risks

arise

from

the

potential

inability

to

terminate

or

sell

derivative

positions.

Derivatives

may

be

subject

to

liquidity

risk

due

to

the

Fund's

obligation

to

make

payments

of

margin,

collateral,

or

settlement

payments

to

counterparties.

A

liquid

secondary

market

may

not

always

exist

for

the

Fund's

derivative

positions.

In

fact,

certain

over-the-counter

instruments

(investments

not

traded

on

an

exchange)

may

not

be

liquid.

Over-the-counter

instruments

also

involve

the

risk

that

the

other

party

to

the

derivative

transaction

may

not

be

willing

or

able

to

meet

its

obligations

with

respect

to

the

derivative

transaction.

The

risk

of

a

party

failing

to

meet

its

obligations

may

increase

if

the

Fund

has

significant

exposure

to

that

counterparty.

Derivative

transactions

may

also

be

subject

to

operational

risk,

including

due

to

documentation

and

settlement

issues,

system

failures,

inadequate

controls

and

human

error,

and

legal

risk

due

to

insufficient

documentation,

insufficient

capacity

or

authority

of

a

counterparty,

or

issues

with

respect

to

the

legality

or

enforceability

of

the

derivative

contract.

• #### Preferred

#### share

#### leverage

#### risk.
Leverage

from

the

issuance

of

preferred

shares

creates

risks,

including

the

likelihood

of

greater

volatility

of

net

asset

value

and

market

price

of,

and

distributions

from,

the

Fund's

common

shares

and

the

risk

that

fluctuations

in

dividend

rates

on

preferred

shares

may

affect

the

return

to

common

shareholders.

If

the

income

from

the

investments

purchased

with

proceeds

received

from

leverage

is

not

sufficient

to

cover

the

cost

of

leverage,

the

amount

of

income

available

for

distribution

to

common

shareholders

will

be

less

than

if

leverage

had

not

been

used.

While

the

Fund

has

preferred

shares

outstanding,

an

increase

in

short-term

interest

rates

could

result

in

an

increased

cost

of

leverage,

which

could

adversely

affect

the

Fund's

income

available

for

distribution

to

common

shareholders.

In

connection

with

its

preferred

shares,

the

Fund

is

required

to

maintain

specified

asset

coverage

mandated

by

applicable

federal

securities

laws

and

by

the

Amended

and

Restated

We

may

in

illiquid

and

may

be

difficult

to

of

by

or

Some

investments

may

be

difficult

to

value

for

purposes

of

determining

the

Fund's

net

asset

value.

Certain

other

investments

may

not

have

an

active

trading

market

due

to

adverse

market,

economic,

industry,

political,

regulatory,

geopolitical,

environmental,

public

health,

and

other

conditions,

including

investors

trying

to

sell

large

quantities

of

a

investment

or

type

of

investment,

or

lack

of

market

makers

or

other

buyers

for

a

particular

investment

or

type

of

investment.

We

may

not

be

able

to

sell

the

Fund's

illiquid

investments

when

we

consider

it

desirable

to

do

so,

or

we

may

be

able

to

sell

them

only

at

less

than

their

• #### Market

#### risk.
The

value

of

investments

in

the

Fund's

portfolio

may

fall

or

fail

to

rise

over

extended

periods

of

time

for

a

variety

of

reasons,

including

general

economic,

political

or

financial

market

conditions,

investor

sentiment

and

market

perceptions

(including

perceptions

about

monetary

policy,

interest

rates,

inflation

or

the

risk

of

default);

government

actions

(including

protectionist

measures,

intervention

in

the

financial

markets

or

other

regulation,

and

changes

in

fiscal,

monetary

or

tax

policies);

geopolitical

events

or

changes

(including

natural

disasters,

terrorism

and

war);

outbreaks

of

infectious

illnesses

or

other

widespread

public

health

issues

(including

epidemics

and

pandemics);

and

factors

related

to

a

specific

issuer,

geography,

industry

or

sector.

Foreign

financial

markets

have

their

own

market

risks,

and

they

may

be

more

or

less

volatile

than

U.S.

markets

and

may

move

in

different

directions.

These

and

other

factors

may

lead

to

increased

volatility

and

reduced

liquidity

in

the

Fund's

portfolio

holdings.

These

risks

may

be

exacerbated

during

economic

downturns

or

other

periods

of

economic

stress.

The

United

States

and

other

countries

are

periodically

involved

in

disputes

over

trade

and

other

matters,

which

may

result

in

tariffs,

investment

restrictions

and

adverse

impacts

on

affected

companies

and

securities.

For

example,

the

United

States

has

recently

enacted

and

proposed

to

enact

significant

new

tariffs

and

President

Trump

has

directed

various

federal

agencies

to

further

evaluate

key

aspects

of

U.S.

trade

policy,

which

could

potentially

lead

to

significant

changes

to

current

policies,

treaties

and

tariffs.

There

continues

to

exist

significant

uncertainty

about

the

future

relationship

between

the

U.S.

and

other

countries

with

respect

to

such

trade

policies,

treaties

and

tariffs.

These

developments,

or

the

perception

that

any

of

them

could

occur,

may

have

a

material

adverse

effect

on

global

economic

conditions

and

the

stability

of

global

financial

markets,

and

may

significantly

reduce

global

trade

and,

in

particular,

trade

between

the

impacted

nations

and

the

U.S.

• #### Management

#### and

#### operational

#### risk.
The

Fund

is

actively

managed

and

its

performance

will

reflect,

in

part,

our

ability

to

make

investment

decisions

that

seek

to

achieve

the

Fund's

investment

objective.

There

is

no

guarantee

that

the

investment

techniques,

analyses,

or

judgments

that

we

apply

in

making

investment

decisions

for

the

Fund

will

produce

the

intended

outcome

or

that

the

investments

we

select

for

the

Fund

will

perform

as

well

as

other

securities

that

were

not

selected

for

the

Fund.

As

a

result,

the

Fund

may

underperform

its

benchmark

or

other

funds

with

a

similar

investment

goal

and

may

realize

losses.

In

addition,

we,

or

the

Fund's

other

service

providers,

may

experience

disruptions

or

operating

errors

that

could

negatively

impact

the

Fund.

Although

service

providers

may

have

operational

risk

management

policies

and

procedures

and

take

appropriate

precautions

to

avoid

and

mitigate

risks

that

could

lead

to

disruptions

and

operating

errors,

it

may

not

be

possible

to

identify

all

of

the

operational

risks

that

may

affect

the

Fund

or

to

develop

processes

and

controls

to

completely

eliminate

or

mitigate

their

occurrence

or

effects.

• #### Other

#### investments.
In

addition

to

the

main

investment

strategies

described

above,

the

Fund

may

also

make

other

types

of

investments,

which

may

produce

taxable

income

and

be

subject

to

other

risks.

The

Fund

may

also

invest

in

cash

or

cash

equivalents,

including

money

market

instruments

or

short-term

instruments

such

as

commercial

paper,

bank

obligations

(e.g.,

certificates

of

deposit

and

bankers'

acceptances),

repurchase

agreements,

and

U.S.

Treasury

bills

or

other

government

obligations.

The

Fund

may

also

from

time

to

time

invest

all

or

a

portion

of

its

cash

balances

in

money

market

and/or

short-term

bond

funds

advised

by

Putnam

Management

or

its

affiliates.

The

percentage

of

the

funds

invested

in

cash

and

cash

equivalents

and

such

money

market

and

short-term

bond

funds

is

expected

to

vary

over

time

and

will

depend

on

various

factors,

including

market

conditions

and

our

assessment

of

the

cash

level

that

is

appropriate

to

allow

the

Putnam

Municipal

Opportunities

Trust

Important

Information

to

Shareholders

(unaudited)

franklintempleton.com

Annual

Report

Fund

to

pursue

investment

opportunities

as

they

arise.

Large

cash

positions

may

dampen

performance

and

may

prevent

the

Fund

from

achieving

its

goal.

• #### Temporary

#### defensive

#### strategies.
In

response

to

adverse

market,

economic,

political

or

other

conditions,

we

may

take

temporary

defensive

positions,

such

as

investing

some

or

all

of

the

Fund's

assets

in

cash

and

cash

equivalents,

that

differ

from

the

Fund's

usual

investment

strategies.

However,

we

may

choose

not

to

use

these

temporary

defensive

strategies

for

a

variety

of

reasons,

even

in

very

volatile

market

conditions.

If

we

do

employ

these

strategies,

the

Fund

may

miss

out

on

investment

opportunities

and

may

not

achieve

its

goal.

Additionally,

while

temporary

defensive

strategies

are

mainly

designed

to

limit

losses,

they

may

not

work

as

intended.

• #### Changes

#### in

#### policies.
The

Trustees

may

change

the

Fund's

goal,

investment

strategies

and

other

policies

without

shareholder

approval,

except

in

circumstances

in

which

shareholder

approval

is

specifically

required

by

law

(such

as

changes

to

fundamental

investment

policies)

or

where

a

shareholder

approval

requirement

was

specifically

disclosed

in

the

Fund's

prospectus,

statement

of

additional

information

or

shareholder

report

and

is

otherwise

still

in

effect.

#### The

#### Fund's

#### fundamental

#### investment

#### policies
The

Fund

has

adopted

the

following

investment

restrictions

which

may

not

be

changed

without

the

affirmative

vote

of

a

"majority

of

the

outstanding

voting

securities"

of

the

Fund

(which

is

defined

in

the

1940

Act

to

mean

the

affirmative

vote

of

the

lesser

of

(1) more

than

50%

of

the

outstanding

common

shares

and

of

the

outstanding

preferred

shares

of

the

Fund,

each

voting

as

a

separate

class,

or

(2) 67%

or

more

of

the

common

shares

and

of

the

preferred

shares,

each

voting

as

a

separate

class,

present

at

a

meeting

if

more

than

50%

of

the

outstanding

shares

of

each

class

are

represented

at

the

meeting

in

person

or

by

proxy).

A

portfolio

investment

is

reviewed

for

inclusion

in

the

Fund's

80%

basket

at

the

time

of

investment

and

generally

on

a

quarterly

basis

thereafter.

If,

subsequent

to

an

investment,

the

Fund

identifies

that

the

requirements

of

the

Fund's

80%

investment

policy

are

no

longer

met,

the

Fund

will

make

future

investments

in

a

manner

that

will

bring

the

Fund

into

compliance

as

soon

as

reasonably

practicable,

and

no

later

than

days

after

the

Fund's

identification

of

non-compliance

with

the

Fund's

80%

policy.

The

Fund

may

depart

from

its

80%

investment

policy

in

other-than-normal

circumstances

for

up

to

days.

Unless

stated

otherwise,

the

Fund's

compliance

with

its

other

investment

limitations

and

requirements

described

in

this

annual

report

is

determined

at

the

time

of

investment.

If

the

applicable

investment

limitation

or

requirement

is

complied

with

at

the

time

of

an

investment,

any

change

in

asset

values,

sale

of

securities,

or

change

in

security

characteristics

will

not

constitute

a

violation

of

that

limitation

or

requirement.

The

Fund's

investments

in

derivative

instruments

and

other

investments

that

provide

exposure

to

the

investment

focus

indicated

in

the

Fund's

80%

policy

are

included

in

the

Fund's

80%

basket.

Under

normal

market

conditions,

the

Fund

invests

at

least

80%

of

its

total

assets

in

municipal

bonds.

Additionally,

the

Fund

may

not:

1. Issue

senior

securities,

as

defined

in

the

1940

Act,

other

than

shares

of

beneficial

interest

with

preference

rights,

except

to

the

extent

such

issuance

might

be

involved

with

respect

to

described

under

restriction

below

or

with

respect

to

transactions

involving

financial

options,

and

other

financial

2. Borrow

money

in

excess

of

10%

of

the

of

its

total

assets

(not

including

the

amount

borrowed)

at

the

time

the

borrowing

is

made,

and

then

only

from

banks

as

a

temporary

measure

(not

for

leverage)

in

situations

which

might

otherwise

require

the

untimely

disposition

of

portfolio

investments

or

for

extraordinary

or

emergency

purposes.

Such

borrowings

will

be

repaid

before

any

additional

investments

are

purchased.

3. Underwrite

securities

issued

by

other

persons

except

to

the

extent

that,

in

connection

with

the

disposition

of

its

portfolio

investments,

it

may

be

deemed

to

be

an

underwriter

under

the

federal

securities

laws.

4. Purchase

or

sell

real

although

it

may

purchase

securities

of

issuers

which

deal

in

real

securities

which

are

secured

The

Annual

Meeting

of

Shareholders

of

the

Fund

was

held

at

the

Fund's

offices,

Madison

Ave,

New

York,

NY,

on

April

17,

2026. The

purpose

of

the

meeting

was

to

elect

Trustees

of

the

Fund

and

to

fix

the

number

of

Trustees

for

the

Fund

at

eight.

At

the

meeting,

the

Common

Stock

Trustees

were

elected

by

a

majority

of

the

votes

entitled

to

be

cast

by

the

holders

of

shares

of

the

Fund's

Common

Shares

and

Preferred

Shares

voting

together

as

a

single

class.

Due

to

a

lack

of

quorum

of

preferred

shareholders,

voting

as

a

separate

class,

the

election

of

the

Trustee

positions

by

the

preferred

shareholders

concluded

without

a

shareholder

vote.

Shareholders

also

fixed

the

number

of

Trustees

for

the

Fund

at

eight.

No

other

business

was

transacted

at

the

meeting

with

respect

to

the

The

results

of

the

voting

at

the

Annual

are

as

follows:

Plan

as

of

January

31,

2010,

will

continue

to

receive

distributions

in

cash

but

may

enroll

in

a

Plan

at

any

time

by

contacting

the

Agent.

If

you

participate

in

a

Fund's

Plan,

the

Agent

will

automatically

reinvest

subsequent

distributions,

and

the

Agent

will

send

you

a

confirmation

in

the

mail

telling

you

how

many

additional

shares

were

issued

to

your

account.

To

change

your

enrollment

status

or

to

request

additional

information

about

the

Plans,

you

may

contact

the

Agent

in

writing

at

P.O.

Box

43006

Providence,

02940-3078

or

by

calling

the

Agent

at

1-888-888-0151.

#### How

#### you

#### acquire

#### additional

#### shares

#### through

#### a

#### Plan
If

the

market

price

per

share

for

your

Fund's

shares

(plus

estimated

brokerage

commissions)

is

greater

than

or

equal

to

their

net

asset

value

per

share

on

the

payment

date

for

a

distribution,

you

will

be

issued

shares

of

the

Fund

at

a

value

equal

to

the

higher

of

the

net

asset

value

per

share

on

that

date

or

95%

of

the

market

price

per

share

on

that

date.

If

the

market

price

per

share

for

your

Fund's

shares

(plus

estimated

brokerage

commissions)

is

less

than

their

net

asset

value

per

share

on

the

payment

date

for

a

distribution,

the

Agent

will

buy

Fund

shares

for

participating

accounts

in

the

open

market.

The

Agent

will

aggregate

open-market

purchases

on

behalf

of

all

participants,

and

the

average

price

(including

brokerage

commissions)

of

all

shares

purchased

by

the

Agent

will

be

the

price

per

share

allocable

to

each

participant.

The

Agent

will

generally

complete

these

open-market

purchases

within

five

business

days

following

the

payment

date.

If,

before

the

Agent

has

completed

open-market

purchases,

the

market

price

per

share

(plus

estimated

brokerage

commissions)

rises

to

exceed

the

net

asset

value

per

share

on

the

payment

date,

then

the

purchase

price

may

exceed

the

net

asset

value

per

share,

potentially

resulting

in

the

acquisition

of

fewer

shares

than

if

the

distribution

had

been

paid

in

newly

issued

shares.

#### How

#### to

#### withdraw

#### from

#### a

#### Plan
Participants

may

withdraw

from

a

Fund's

Plan

at

any

time

by

notifying

the

Agent,

either

in

writing

or

by

telephone.

Such

withdrawal

will

be

effective

immediately

if

notice

is

received

by

the

Agent

with

sufficient

time

prior

to

any

distribution

record

date;

otherwise,

such

withdrawal

will

be

effective

with

respect

to

any

subsequent

distribution

following

notice

of

withdrawal.

There

is

no

penalty

for

withdrawing

from

or

not

participating

in

a

Plan.

#### administration
The

Agent

will

credit

all

shares

acquired

for

a

participant

under

a

Plan

to

the

account

in

which

the

participant's

common

shares

are

held.

Each

participant

will

be

sent

reasonably

promptly

a

confirmation

by

the

Agent

of

each

acquisition

made

for

his

or

her

account.

#### About

#### brokerage

#### fees
Each

participant

pays

a

proportionate

share

of

any

brokerage

commissions

incurred

if

the

Agent

purchases

additional

shares

on

the

open

market,

in

accordance

with

the

Plans.

There

are

no

brokerage

charges

applied

to

shares

issued

directly

by

the

Funds

under

the

Plans.

Reinvesting

does

not

relieve

supplies

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to its principal executive officers and principal financial and accounting officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) N/A

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) N/A

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Pursuant to Item 19(a) (1), the Registrant is attaching as an exhibit a copy of its code of ethics that applies to its principal executive officers and principal financial and accounting officer.

ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

The Board of Trustees of the Registrant has determined that Eileen A. Kamerick and Nisha Kumar possess the technical attributes identified in Item 3 to Form N-CSR to qualify as "audit committee financial experts," and has designated Eileen A. Kamerick and Nisha Kumar as the Audit Committee's financial experts. Eileen A. Kamerick and Nisha Kumar are "independent" Trustees pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) of Item 3 to Form N-CSR.

Under applicable securities laws, a person determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an "expert" for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or identification. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of directors.

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Audit Fees</u>. The aggregate fees billed in the last two fiscal years ending April 30, 2025 and April 30, 2026 (the "Reporting Periods") for professional services rendered by the Registrant's principal accountant (the "Auditor") for the audit of the Registrant's annual financial statements, or services that are normally provided by the Auditor in connection with the statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the Reporting Periods, were $64,772 in April 30, 2025 and $46,883 in April 30, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Audit-Related Fees</u>. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for assurance and related services by the Auditor that are reasonably related to the performance of the Registrant's financial statements were $0 in April 30, 2025 and $0 in April 30, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Tax Fees</u>. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for professional services rendered by the Auditor for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning ("Tax Services") were $16,000 in April 30, 2025 and $16,000 in April 30, 2026. These services consisted of (i) review or preparation of U.S. federal, state, local and excise tax returns; (ii) U.S. federal, state and local tax planning, advice and assistance regarding statutory, regulatory or administrative developments, and (iii) tax advice regarding tax qualification matters and/or treatment of various financial instruments held or proposed to be acquired or held.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>All Other Fees</u>. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for products and services provided by the Auditor to the Registrant, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this item, were $0 in April 30, 2025 and $0 in April 30, 2026.

There were no other non-audit services rendered by the Auditor to the Service Affiliates requiring pre-approval by the Audit Committee in the Reporting Periods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Audit Committee's pre–approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c) (7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The Charter for the Audit Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of each registered investment company (the "Fund") advised by the Registrant's investment manager or one of their affiliates (each, an "Adviser") requires that the Committee shall approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided to the Fund and (b) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the Fund's independent auditors to the Adviser and any service providers controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provide ongoing services to the Fund ("Covered Service Providers") if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. The Committee may implement policies and procedures by which such services are approved other than by the full Committee.

The Committee shall not approve non-audit services that the Committee believes may impair the independence of the auditors. As of the date of the approval of this Audit Committee Charter, permissible non-audit services include any professional services (including tax services), that are not prohibited services as described below, provided to the Fund by the independent auditors, other than those provided to the Fund in connection with an audit or a review of the financial statements of the Fund. Permissible non-audit services may not include: (i) bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund; (ii) financial information systems design and implementation; (iii) appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports; (iv) actuarial services; (v) internal audit outsourcing services; (vi) management functions or human resources; (vii) broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services; (viii) legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit; and (ix) any other service the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible.

Pre-approval by the Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to the Fund, the Adviser and the Covered Service Providers constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to the independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided to (a) the Fund, (b) the Adviser and (c) any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be approved by the Committee; (ii) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved by the Committee (or its delegate(s)) prior to the completion of the audit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) None of the services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item were performed in reliance on paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Not applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Non-audit fees billed by the Auditor for services rendered to the Registrant and the Service Affiliates during the reporting period were $486,647 in April 30, 2025 and $1,557,011 in April 30, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Yes. The Registrant's Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to Service Affiliates, which were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval), is compatible with maintaining the Auditor's independence. All services provided by the Auditor to the Registrant or to the Service Affiliates, which were required to be pre-approved, were pre-approved as required.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Not applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Not applicable

**Putnam Investments**

<u>Proxy Voting Procedures</u>

*<u>Introduction and Summary</u>*

Many of Putnam's investment management clients have delegated to Putnam the authority to vote proxies for shares in the client accounts Putnam manages. Putnam believes that the voting of proxies can be an important tool for institutional investors to promote best practices in corporate governance and votes all proxies in the best interests of its clients as investors. In Putnam's view, strong corporate governance policies, most notably oversight by an independent board of qualified directors, best serve investors' interests. Putnam will vote proxies and maintain records of voting of shares for which Putnam has proxy voting authority in accordance with its fiduciary obligations and applicable law.

Putnam's voting policies are rooted in our views that (1) strong, independent corporate governance is important to long-term company financial performance, and (2) long-term investors' active engagement with company management, including through the proxy voting process, strengthens issuer accountability and overall market discipline, potentially reducing risk and improving returns over time. Our voting program is offered as a part of our investment management services, at no incremental fee to Putnam, and, while there can be no guarantees, it is intended to offer potential investment benefits over a long-term horizon. Our voting policies are designed with investment considerations in mind, not as a means to pursue particular political, social, or other goals. As a result, we may not support certain proposals whose costs to the issuer (including implementation costs, practicability, and other factors), in Putnam's view, outweigh their investment merits.

This memorandum sets forth Putnam's policies for voting proxies. It covers all accounts for which Putnam has proxy voting authority. These accounts include the Putnam Mutual Funds<sup>1</sup> and Putnam Exchange-Traded Funds, US and international institutional accounts and funds managed or sub-advised by The Putnam Advisory Company, LLC, Putnam Investments Limited and Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company, LLC. In addition, the policies include US mutual funds and other accounts sub-advised by Putnam Investment Management, LLC.<sup>2</sup>

<sup>1</sup> Effective January 27, 2023, the Board of Trustees of the Putnam Mutual Funds delegated proxy voting authority to Putnam Investment Management, LLC, the investment manager to the Putnam Mutual Funds.

<sup>2</sup> The Putnam Proxy Voting Procedures and Guidelines will apply also to certain funds and institutional and other accounts managed by Franklin Advisers, Inc. ("FAV") but formerly managed or sub-advised by one of the Putnam adviser entities identified above, pursuant to sub-advisory agreements in effect from time to time between FAV and the relevant Putnam entity(ies).

*<u>Proxy Committee</u>*

Putnam has a Proxy Committee composed of senior professionals, including from the Putnam Equity investment team and the Putnam Equity Sustainability Strategy group. The Chief Investment Officer of Putnam Equity appoints the members of the Proxy Committee. The Proxy Committee is responsible for setting general policy as to proxies. Specifically, the Committee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Reviews these procedures and the Proxy Voting Guidelines annually and approves any amendments considered
to be advisable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Considers special proxy issues as they may from time to time arise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Must approve all vote overrides recommended by investment professionals.

*<u>Proxy Voting Administration</u>*

The Putnam Sustainability Strategy group administers Putnam's proxy voting through a Proxy Voting Team. The Proxy Voting Team has the following duties:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Annually prepares the Proxy Voting Guidelines and distributes them to the Proxy Committee for review.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Coordinates the Proxy Committee's review of any new or unusual proxy issues and serves as Secretary thereto

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Manages the process of referring issues to portfolio managers for voting instructions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Oversees the work of any third-party vendor hired to process proxy votes (as of the date of these procedures Putnam has engaged Institutional
Shareholder Services (ISS) to process proxy votes) and the process of setting up the voting process with ISS and custodial banks for new
clients.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. Coordinates responses to investment professionals' questions on proxy issues and proxy policies, including forwarding specialized
proxy research from ISS and other vendors and forwards information to investment professionals prepared by other areas at Putnam.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. Implements the exception process with respect to referred items on securities held solely in accounts managed by the Global Asset
Allocation ("GAA") team within Franklin Templeton Investment Solutions described in more detail in the Proxy Referral section
below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. Maintains required records of proxy votes on behalf of the appropriate Putnam client accounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. Prepares and distributes reports required by Putnam clients.

*<u>Proxy Voting Guidelines</u>*

Putnam maintains written voting guidelines ("Guidelines") setting forth voting positions determined by the Proxy Committee on those issues believed most likely to arise day to day. The Guidelines may call for votes to be cast normally in favor of or opposed to a matter or may deem the matter an item to be referred to investment professionals on a case-by-case basis. A copy of the Guidelines is attached to this memorandum as Exhibit A.

In light of our views on the importance of issuer governance and investor engagement, which we believe are applicable across our various strategies and clients, regardless of a specific portfolio's investment objective, Putnam will vote all proxies in accordance with the Guidelines, subject to two exceptions as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. If the portfolio managers of client accounts holding the stock of a company with a proxy vote believe
that following the Guidelines in any specific case would not be in the clients' best interests, they may request the Proxy Voting
Team not to follow the guidelines in such case. The request must be in writing and include an explanation of the rationale for doing so.
The Proxy Voting Team will review any such request with the Proxy Committee (or, in cases with limited time, with the Chair of the Proxy
Committee acting on the Proxy Committee's behalf) prior to implementing the request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Putnam may accept instructions to vote proxies under client specific guidelines subject to review and acceptance by the Investment
Division and the Legal and Compliance Department.

*<u>Other</u>*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Putnam may elect not to vote when the security is no longer held.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Putnam will  **<u>abstain</u>** on items that require case-by-case review when a vote recommendation from the appropriate investment
professional(s) cannot be obtained due to restrictive voting deadlines or other prohibitive operational or administrative requirements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Where securities held in Putnam client accounts, including the Putnam mutual funds, have been loaned to third parties in connection
with a securities lending program administered by Putnam (through securities lending agents overseen by Putnam), Putnam has instructed
lending agents to recall U.S. securities on loan to vote proxies, in accordance with Putnam's securities lending procedures Due
to differences in non-U.S. markets, Putnam does not currently seek to recall non-U.S. securities on loan. In addition, where Putnam does
not administer a client's securities lending program, this recall policy does not apply, since Putnam generally does not have information
on loan details or authority to effect recalls in those cases. It is possible that, for impracticability or other reasons, a recalled
security may not be returned to the relevant custodian in time to allow Putnam to vote the relevant proxy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Putnam will make its reasonable best efforts to vote all proxies except when impeded by circumstances that are reasonably beyond its
control and responsibility, such as custodial proxy voting services, in part or whole, not available or not established by a client, or
custodial error.

*<u>Proxy Voting Referrals</u>*

 

Under the Guidelines, certain proxy matters will be referred to Portfolio Managers. The Portfolio Manager receiving the referral request may delegate the vote decision to an appropriate Analyst from among a list of eligible analysts (such list to be approved by the Chief Investment Officer of the Putnam Equity group and the Director of Equity Research for the Putnam Equity group). The Analyst will be required to make the affirmation and disclosures identified in (3) below. Normally specific referral items will be referred to the portfolio team leader (or another member of the portfolio team he or she designates) whose accounts hold the greatest number of shares of the issuer of the proxies through the Proxy Referral Administration Database. The referral request contains (1) a field that will be used by the portfolio team leader or member for recommending a vote on each referral item, (2) a field for describing any contacts relating to the proxy referral item the portfolio team may have had with any Franklin Templeton employee outside Putnam Equity or with any person other than a proxy solicitor acting in the normal course of proxy solicitation, and (3) a field for portfolio managers to affirm that they are making vote recommendations in the best interest of client accounts and have disclosed to Compliance any potential conflicts of interest relevant to their vote recommendation.

Putnam may vote any referred items on securities held solely in accounts managed by the GAA team within Franklin Templeton Investment Solutions (and not held by any other investment product team) in accordance with the recommendation of Putnam's third-party proxy voting service provider. The Proxy Voting Team will first give the relevant portfolio manager(s) on the GAA team the opportunity to review the referred items and vote on them. If the portfolio manager(s) on the GAA team do not decide to make any active voting decision on any of the referred items, the items will be voted in accordance with the service provider's recommendation. If the security is also held by other investment teams at Putnam Equity, the items will be referred to the largest holder who is not a member of the GAA team.

The portfolio team leader or members who have been requested to provide a recommendation on a proxy referral item will complete the referral request. Upon receiving each completed referral request from the applicable Portfolio Manager or Analyst, the Proxy Voting Team will review the completed request for accuracy and completeness, and will follow up with investment personnel as appropriate.

*<u>Conflicts of Interest</u>*

A potential conflict of interest may arise when voting proxies of an issuer which has a significant business relationship with Putnam. For example, Putnam could manage a defined benefit or defined contribution pension plan for the issuer. Putnam's policy is to vote proxies based solely on the investment merits of the proposal. In order to guard against conflicts, the following procedures have been adopted:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. The Proxy Committee is composed of senior professionals, including Portfolio Managers in Putnam Equity and the Putnam Equity Sustainability
Strategy group. None of these individuals or groups reports to Franklin Templeton's marketing businesses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. No Franklin Templeton employee outside Putnam Equity may contact any portfolio manager about any proxy vote without first contacting
the Proxy Voting Team or a senior lawyer in the Legal and Compliance Department. There is no prohibition on employees seeking to communicate
investment-related information to investment professionals except for Putnam's restrictions on dissemination of material, non-public
information. However, the Proxy Voting Team will coordinate the delivery of such information to investment professionals to avoid appearances
of conflict.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Investment professionals responding to referral requests must disclose any contacts with third parties other than normal contact with
proxy solicitation firms and must affirm that they are making vote recommendations in the best interest of client accounts and have disclosed
to the Proxy Voting Team any potential conflicts of interest relevant to their vote recommendation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. The Proxy Voting Team will review the name of the issuer of each proxy that contains a referral item against various sources of Putnam
business relationships maintained by the Legal and Compliance Department or Client Service for potential material business relationships
(*i.e.,* conflicts of interest). For referrals, the Proxy Voting Team will complete the Proxy Voting Conflict of Interest Disclosure
Form (<u>attached as Exhibit B and C</u>) via the Proxy Referral Administration Database and will prepare a quarterly report for the Putnam
Chief Compliance Officer identifying all completed Conflict of Interest Disclosure forms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. Putnam's Proxy Voting Guidelines may only be overridden with the written recommendation from a member of the Investment Division
and concurrence of the Proxy Committee (or, in cases with limited time, with the Chair of the Proxy Committee on the Proxy Committee's
behalf).

*<u>Recordkeeping</u>*

The Putnam Equity Sustainability Strategy Group will retain copies of the following books and records:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. A copy of the Proxy Voting Procedures and Guidelines as are from time to time in effect;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. A copy of each proxy statement received with respect to securities in client accounts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Records of each vote cast for each client;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Internal documents generated in connection with a proxy referral, such as emails, memoranda, etc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. Written reports to clients on proxy voting and all client requests for information and Putnam's response.

All records will be maintained for seven years. A proxy vendor may on Putnam's behalf maintain the records noted in 2 and 3 above if it commits to providing copies promptly upon request.

<u>Exhibit A to Proxy Procedures</u>

**Putnam Investments Proxy Voting Guidelines**

The proxy voting guidelines below summarize Putnam's positions on various issues of concern to investors and indicate how client portfolio securities will be voted on proposals dealing with a particular issue. The proxy voting service is instructed to vote all proxies relating to client portfolio securities in accordance with these guidelines, except as otherwise instructed by the Proxy Voting Team.

Putnam's voting policies are rooted in our views that (1) strong, independent corporate governance is important to long-term company financial performance, and (2) long-term investors' active engagement with company management, including through the proxy voting process, strengthens issuer accountability and overall market discipline, potentially reducing risk and improving returns over time. Our voting program is offered as a part of our investment management services, at no incremental fee to Putnam, and, while there can be no guarantees, it is intended to offer potential investment benefits over a long-term horizon. Our voting policies are designed with investment considerations in mind, not as a means to pursue particular political, social, or other goals. As a result, we may not support certain proposals whose costs to the issuer (including implementation costs, practicability, and other factors), in Putnam's view, outweigh their investment merits.

These proxy voting policies are intended to be decision-making guidelines. The guidelines are not exhaustive and do not include all potential voting issues. In addition, as contemplated by and subject to Putnam's Proxy Voting Procedures, because proxy issues and the circumstances of individual companies are so varied, portfolio teams may recommend votes that may vary from the general policy choices set forth in the guidelines.

The following guidelines are grouped according to the types of proposals generally presented to shareholders. Part I deals with proposals which have been approved and recommended by a company's board of directors. Part II deals with proposals submitted by shareholders for inclusion in proxy statements. Part III addresses unique considerations pertaining to non-US issuers.

**I. Board-Approved Proposals**

Proxies will be voted **for** board-approved proposals, except as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**A.**  **<u>Matters Relating to the Board of Directors</u>** 

***Uncontested Election of Directors***

The board of directors has the important role of overseeing management and its performance on behalf of shareholders. When evaluating a company's board, Putnam may consider the diversity of professional backgrounds and personal characteristics. Putnam believes that companies generally benefit from diversity on the board, including diversity with respect to gender, ethnicity, race, skills, perspectives and experience.

Proxies will be voted **<u>for</u>** the election of the company's nominees for directors (and/or subsidiary directors) and **<u>for</u>** board-approved proposals on other matters relating to the board of directors (provided that such nominees and other matters have been approved by an independent nominating committee), except as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will **<u>withhold votes</u>** from the entire board of directors if: |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The board does not have a majority of independent directors,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The board does not have nominating, audit and compensation committees composed solely of independent directors, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The board has more than 15 members or fewer than five members, absent special circumstances.

| ⮚ | Putnam may refrain from withholding votes from the board due to insufficient key committee independence due to director resignation, change in board structure, or other specific circumstances, provided that the company has stated (for example in an 8-K), or it can otherwise be determined, that the board will address committee composition to ensure compliance with the applicable corporate governance code in a timely manner after the shareholder meeting and the company has a history of appropriate board independence. |

---

Unless otherwise indicated, for the purposes of determining whether a board has a majority of independent directors and independent nominating, audit, and compensation committees, an independent director is a director who (1) meets all requirements to serve as an independent director of a company under the final NYSE Corporate Governance Rules (e.g., no material business relationships with the company and no present or recent employment relationship with the company (including employment of an immediate family member as an executive officer)), and (2) has not accepted directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee (excluding immaterial fees for transactional services as defined by the NYSE Corporate Governance rules) from the company other than in his or her capacity as a member of the board of directors or any board committee. Putnam believes that the receipt of such compensation for services other than service as a director raises significant independence issues.

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will **<u>withhold votes</u>** from any nominee for director who is considered an independent director by the company and who has received compensation within the last three years from the company for the provision of professional services (e.g., investment banking, consulting, legal or financial advisory fees). |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will **<u>withhold votes</u>** from any nominee for director who attends fewer than 75% of board and committee meetings. Putnam may refrain from withholding votes on a **case-by-case** basis if a valid reason for the absence exists, such as illness, personal emergency, potential conflict of interest, etc. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will **<u>withhold votes</u>** from any incumbent nominee for director who served on a board that has not acted to implement a policy requested in a shareholder proposal that received the support of a majority of the votes actually cast on the matter at its previous two annual meetings, or |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will **<u>withhold votes</u>** from any incumbent nominee for director who served on a board that adopted, renewed, or made a material adverse modification to a shareholder rights plan (commonly referred to as a "poison pill") without shareholder approval during the current or prior calendar year. (This is applicable to any type of poison pill, for example, advance-warning type pill, EGM pill, and Trust Defense Plans in Japan.) |

---

Putnam will refrain from opposing the board members who served at the time of the adoption of the poison pill if the duration is one year or less, if the plan contains other suitable restrictions; or if the company publicly discloses convincing rationale for its adoption and seeks shareholder approval of future renewals of the poison pill. (Suitable restrictions could include but are not limited to, a higher threshold for passive investors. Convincing rationale could include circumstances such as, but not limited to, extreme market disruption or conditions, stock volatility, substantial merger, active investor interest, or takeover attempts.)

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote on a **case-by-case** basis and may consider voting against the Nominating Committee Chair if there is a lack of evidence of board diversity. |

---

Putnam is concerned about over-committed directors. In some cases, directors may serve on too many boards to make a meaningful contribution. This may be particularly true for senior executives of public companies (or other directors with substantially full-time employment) who serve on more than a few outside boards.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>** any non-executive nominee for director who serves on more than four (4) public company boards, except where Putnam would otherwise be withholding votes for the entire board of directors. For the purpose of this guideline, boards of affiliated registered investment companies and other similar entities such as UCITS will count as one board. Generally, Putnam will withhold support from directors serving on more than four unaffiliated public company boards, although an exception may be made in the case of a director who represents an investing firm with the sole purpose of managing a portfolio of investments that includes the company. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will **<u>withhold</u>** votes from any nominee for director who serves as an executive officer of any public company ("home company") while serving on more than two (2) public company board**s** other than the home company board. (Putnam will withhold votes from the nominee at each company where Putnam client portfolios own shares.) In addition, if Putnam client portfolios are shareholders of the executive's home company, Putnam will withhold votes from members of the company's governance committee. For the purpose of this guideline, boards of affiliated registered investment companies and other similar entities such as UCITS will count as one board. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will ***withhold votes*** from any nominee for director of a public company (Company A) who is employed as a senior executive of another public company (Company B) if a director of Company B serves as a senior executive of Company A (commonly referred to as an "interlocking directorate"). |

---

Board independence depends not only on its members' individual relationships, but also the board's overall attitude toward management. Independent boards are committed to good corporate governance practices and, by providing objective independent judgment, enhancing shareholder value. Putnam may withhold votes on a case-by-case basis from some or all directors that, through their lack of independence, have failed to observe good corporate governance practices or, through specific corporate action, have demonstrated a disregard for the interest of shareholders.

Note: Designation of executive director is based on company disclosure.

---

|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** proposals to approve annual directors' fees, except that Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis if Putnam's independent proxy voting service has recommended a vote against such proposal. Additionally, Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** proposals to approve the grant of equity awards to directors, except that Putnam will consider these proposals on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis if Putnam's proxy service provider is recommending a vote against the proposal. |

**B. <u>Executive Compensation</u>**

Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis on board-approved proposals relating to executive compensation, except as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** stock option and restricted stock plans that will result in an average annual dilution of 1.67% or less (based on the disclosed term of the plan and including all equity-based plans), except where Putnam would otherwise be withholding votes for the entire board of directors in which case Putnam will evaluate the plans on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>** stock option and restricted stock plans that will result in an average annual dilution of greater than 1.67% (based on the disclosed term of the plan and including all equity plans). |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>** any stock option or restricted stock plan where the company's actual grants of stock options and restricted stock under all equity-based compensation plans during the prior three (3) fiscal years have resulted in an average annual dilution of greater than 1.67%. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Additionally, if the annualized dilution cannot be calculated, Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** plans where the Total Potential Dilution is 5% or less. If the annualized dilution cannot be calculated and the Total Potential Dilution exceeds 5%, then Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>**. Note: Such plans must first pass all of Putnam's other screens. |

| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **for** bonus plans under which payments are treated as performance-based compensation that is deductible under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, except as follows: |

---

Vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis on such proposals if any of the following circumstances exist:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the amount per employee under the plan is unlimited, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the maximum award pool is undisclosed, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the incentive bonus plan's performance criteria are undisclosed, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the independent proxy voting service recommends a vote against.

---

|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote in favor of the annual presentation of advisory votes on executive compensation (Say-on-Pay). |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will generally vote **<u>for</u>** advisory votes on executive compensation (Say-on-Pay). However, Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>** an advisory vote if the company fails to effectively link executive compensation to company performance according to benchmarking performed by the independent proxy voting service. |

---

● Putnam will review the proposal on a  **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis if there is no recommendation of the independent proxy voting service.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis on severance agreements (e.g., golden and tin parachutes) |

---

---

| | |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** employee stock purchase plans that have the following features: (1) the shares purchased under the plan are acquired for no less than 85% of their market value, (2) the offering period under the plan is 27 months or less, and (3) dilution is 10% or less. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** Non-qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plans with all the following features: |

---

1) Broad-based participation (i.e., all employees of the company with the exclusion of individuals with 5 percent or more of beneficial ownership of the company).

2) Limits on employee contribution, which may be a fixed dollar amount or expressed as a percent of base salary.

3) Company matching contribution up to 25 percent of employee's contribution, which is effectively a discount of 20 percent from market value.

4) No discount on the stock price on the date of purchase since there is a company matching contribution.

Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>** Non-qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plans when any of the plan features do not meet the above criteria.

Putnam may vote against executive compensation proposals on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis where compensation is excessive by reasonable corporate standards, or where a company fails to provide transparent disclosure of executive compensation. In voting on proposals relating to executive compensation, Putnam will consider whether the proposal has been approved by an independent compensation committee of the board.

**C. <u>Capitalization</u>**

Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis on board-approved proposals involving changes to a company's capitalization, except as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** proposals relating to the authorization of additional common stock, except that Putnam will evaluate such proposals on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis if (i) they relate to a specific transaction or to common stock with special voting rights, (ii) the company has a non-shareholder approved poison pill in place, or (iii) the company has had sizeable stock placements to insiders within the past three years at prices substantially below market value without shareholder approval. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** proposals to effect stock splits (excluding reverse stock splits.) |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** proposals authorizing share repurchase programs, except that Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis if there are concerns that there may be abusive practices related to the share repurchase programs. |

---

**D. <u>Acquisitions, Mergers, Reorganizations and Other Transactions</u>**

Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis on business transactions such as acquisitions, mergers, reorganizations involving business combinations, liquidations and sale of all or substantially all of a company's assets.

**E. <u>Anti-Takeover Measures</u>**

Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>** board-approved proposals to adopt anti-takeover measures such as supermajority voting provisions, issuance of blank check preferred stock, the creation of a separate class of stock with disparate voting rights, control share acquisition provisions, targeted share placements, and ability to make greenmail payments, except as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis on proposals to ratify or approve shareholder rights plans; |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis on proposals to <u>increase</u> shares of an existing class of stock with disparate voting rights from another share class. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis on **shareholder or board-approved** proposals to eliminate supermajority voting provisions at controlled companies (companies in which an individual or a group voting collectively holds a majority of the voting interest). |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u> basis** on **board-approved** proposals to adopt supermajority voting provisions at controlled companies (companies in which an individual or a group voting collectively holds a majority of the voting interest). |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis on proposals to issue blank check preferred stock if appropriate "*de-clawed"* language is present. Specifically, appropriate *de-clawed* language will include cases where the Company states (i.e., through 8-K, proxy statement or other public disclosure) it will not use the preferred stock for anti-takeover purposes, or in order to implement a shareholder rights plan, or discloses a commitment to submit any future issuances of preferred stock to be used in a shareholder rights plan/anti-takeover purpose to a shareholder vote prior to its adoption. |

---

**F. <u>Other Business Matters</u>**

Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** board-approved proposals approving routine business matters such as changing the company's name and procedural matters relating to the shareholder meeting, except as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis on proposals to amend a company's charter or bylaws (except for charter amendments necessary or to effect stock splits, to change a company's name, to authorize additional shares of common stock or other matters which are considered routine (for example, director age or term limits), technical in nature, fall within Putnam's guidelines (for example, regarding board size or virtual meetings), are required pursuant to regulatory and/or listing rules, have little or no economic impact or will not negatively impact shareholder rights). |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Additionally, Putnam believes the bundling of items, whether the items are related or unrelated, is generally not in shareholders' best interest. We may vote against the entire bundled proposal if we would normally vote against any of the items if presented individually. In these cases, we will review the bundled proposal on a case-by-case basis. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam generally supports quorum requirements if the level is set high enough to ensure a broad range of shareholders is represented in person or by proxy but low enough so that the Company can transact necessary business. Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis on proposals seeking to change quorum requirements; however, Putnam will normally support proposals that seek to comply with market or exchange requirements. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis on proposals seeking to change a company's state of incorporation. However, Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** mergers and reorganizations involving business combinations designed solely to reincorporate a company in Delaware. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>** authorization to transact other unidentified, substantive business at the meeting. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>** proposals where there is a lack of information to make an informed voting decision. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote as follows on proposals to adjourn shareholder meetings: |

---

If Putnam is withholding support for the board of the company at the meeting, any proposal to adjourn should be referred for case-by-case analysis.

If Putnam is not withholding support for the board, Putnam will vote in favor of adjourning, unless the vote concerns an issue that is being referred back to Putnam for case-by-case review. Under such circumstances, the proposal to adjourn should also be referred to Putnam for **<u>case-by-case</u>** analysis.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>** management proposals to adopt a specific state's courts, or a specific U.S. district court as the exclusive forum for certain disputes, except that Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** proposals adopting the State of Delaware, or the Delaware Chancery Court, as the exclusive forum, for corporate law matters for issuers incorporated in Delaware. Requiring shareholders to bring actions solely in one state may discourage the pursuit of derivative claims by increasing their difficulty and cost. However, Putnam's guideline recognizes the expertise of the Delaware state court system in handling disputes involving Delaware corporations. In addition, Putnam will **<u>withhold votes</u>** from the chair of the Nominating/Governance committee if a company amends its Bylaws, or takes other actions, to adopt a specific state's courts (other than Delaware courts, for issuers incorporated in Delaware) or a specific U.S. district court as the exclusive forum for certain disputes <u>without</u> shareholder approval. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis on management proposals seeking to adopt a bylaw amendment allowing the company to shift legal fees and costs to unsuccessful plaintiffs in intra-corporate litigation (fee-shifting bylaw). Additionally, Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>** the Chair of the Nominating/Governance committee if a company adopts a fee-shifting bylaw amendment without shareholder approval. |

---

⮚ Putnam will support management/shareholder proxy access proposals as long as the proposals align with the following principles for a shareholder (or up to 20 shareholders together as a group) to receive proxy access:

1) The required minimum aggregate ownership of the Company's outstanding common stock is no greater than 3%;

2) The required minimum holding period for the shareholder proponent(s) is no greater than two years; and

3) The shareholder(s) are permitted to nominate at least 20% of director candidates for election to the board.

Proposals requesting shares be held for 3 years will be reviewed on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis. Putnam will vote **<u>agains</u>**<u>t</u> proposals requesting shares be held for more than three years. Proposals that meet Putnam's stated criteria and include other requirements relating to issues such as, but not limited to, shares on loan or compensation agreements with nominees, will be reviewed on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis.

Additionally, shareholder proposals seeking an amendment to a company's proxy access policy which include any one of the supported criteria under Putnam's guidelines, for example, a 2-year holding period for shareholders, will be reviewed on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam supports management / shareholder proposals giving shareholders the right to call a special meeting as long as the ownership requirement in such proposals is at least **15%** of the company's outstanding common stock and not more than **25%**. |

---

In general, Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** management or shareholder proposals to reduce the ownership requirement below a company's existing threshold, as long as the new threshold is at least **15%** and not greater than **25%** of the company's outstanding common stock.

Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>** any proposal with an ownership requirement exceeding **25%** of the company's common stock or an ownership requirement that is less than **15%** of the company's outstanding common stock.

In cases where there are competing management and shareholder proposals giving shareholders the right to call a special meeting, Putnam will generally vote **<u>for</u>** the proposal which has the lower minimum shareholder ownership threshold, as long as that threshold is within Putnam's recommended minimum/maximum thresholds. If only one of the competing proposals has a threshold that falls within Putnam's threshold range, Putnam will normally support that proposal as long as it represents an improvement (reduction) from the previous requisite ownership level. Putnam will normally vote **<u>against</u>** both proposals if neither proposal has a requisite ownership level between **15%** and **25%** of the company's outstanding common stock**.**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will generally vote **<u>for</u>** management or shareholder proposals to allow a company to hold virtual-only or hybrid shareholder meetings or to amend its articles/charter/by-laws to allow for virtual-only or hybrid shareholder meetings, provided the proposal does not preclude in-person meetings (at any given time), and does not otherwise limit or impair shareholder participation; and if the company has provided clear disclosure to ensure that shareholders can effectively participate in virtual-only shareholder meetings and meaningfully communicate with company management and directors. Additionally, Putnam may consider the rationale of the proposal and whether there have been concerns about the company's previous meeting practices. |

---

Disclosure should address the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability of shareholders to ask questions during the meeting

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o including time guidelines for shareholder questions

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o rules around what types of questions are allowed

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o and rules for how questions and comments will be recognized and disclosed to meeting participants

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o the manner in which appropriate questions received during the meeting will be addressed by the board

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• procedures, if any, for posting appropriate questions received during the meeting and the company's answers on the investor
page of their website as soon as is practical after the meeting

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• technical and logistical issues related to accessing the virtual meeting platform; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• procedures for accessing technical support to assist in the event of any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting

Putnam may vote against proposals that do not meet these criteria.

Additionally, Putnam may vote **<u>agains</u>**<u>t</u> the Chair of the Governance Committee when the board is planning to hold a virtual-only shareholder meeting and the company has not provided sufficient disclosure (as noted above) or shareholder access to the meeting.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** proposals to approve a company's board-approved climate transition action plan ("say on climate" proposals in which the company's board proposes that shareholders indicate their support for the company's plan), unless the proxy voting service has recommended a vote against the proposal, in which case Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis on the proposal. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis on board-approved proposals that conflict with shareholder proposals. |

---

**II. Shareholder Proposals**

Shareholder proposals are non-binding votes that are often opposed by management. Some proposals relate to matters that are financially immaterial to the company's business, while others may be impracticable or costly for a company to implement. At the same time, well-crafted shareholder proposals may serve the purpose of raising issues that are material to a company's business for management's consideration and response. Putnam seeks to weigh the costs of different types of proposals against their expected financial benefits. More specifically:

Putnam will vote **<u>in accordance with the recommendation of the company's board of directors</u>** on all shareholder proposals, except as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** shareholder proposals that are consistent with Putnam's proxy voting guidelines for board-approved proposals. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** shareholder proposals to declassify a board, absent special circumstances which would indicate that shareholder interests are better served by a classified board structure. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** shareholder proposals to require shareholder approval of shareholder rights plans. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** shareholder proposals asking that director nominees receive support from holders of a majority of votes cast or a majority of shares outstanding of the company in order to be (re) elected. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will review on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis, shareholder proposals requesting that the board adopt a policy whereby, in the event of a significant restatement of financial results or significant extraordinary write-off, the board will recoup, to the fullest extent practicable, for the benefit of the company, all performance-based bonuses or awards that were made to senior executives based on having met or exceeded specific performance targets to the extent that the specified performance targets were not met. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** shareholder proposals urging the board to seek shareholder approval of any future supplemental executive retirement plan ("SERP"), or individual retirement arrangement, for senior executives that provides credit for additional years of service not actually worked, preferential benefit formulas not provided under the company's tax-qualified retirement plans, accelerated vesting of retirement benefits or retirement perquisites and fringe benefits that are not generally offered to other company employees. (Implementation of this policy shall not breach any existing employment agreement or vested benefit.) |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** shareholder proposals requiring companies to report on their executive retirement benefits. (Deferred compensation, split-dollar life insurance, SERPs and pension benefits) |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** shareholder proposals requesting that a company establish a pay-for-superior-performance standard whereby the company discloses defined financial and/or stock price performance criteria (along with the detailed list of comparative peer group) to allow shareholders to sufficiently determine the pay and performance correlation established in the company's performance-based equity program. In addition, no multi-year award should be paid out unless the company's performance exceeds, during the current CEO's tenure (three or more years), its peer median or mean performance on selected financial and stock price performance criteria. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** shareholder proposals urging the board to disclose in a separate report to shareholders, the Company's relationships with its executive compensation consultants or firms. Specifically, the report should identify the entity that retained each consultant (the company, the board or the compensation committee) and the types of services provided by the consultant in the past five years (non-compensation-related services to the company or to senior management and a list of all public company clients where the Company's executives serve as a director.) |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** shareholder proposals requiring companies to accelerate vesting of equity awards under management severance agreements only if both of the following conditions are met: |

---

● the company undergoes a change in control, and

● the change in control results in the termination of employment for the person receiving the severance payment.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** shareholder proposals requiring that the chair's position be filled by an independent director (separate chair/CEO). However, Putnam will vote on a **case-by-case** basis on such proposals when the company's board has a lead-independent director (or already has an independent or separate chair) <u>and</u> Putnam is supporting the nominees for the board of directors. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** shareholder proposals seeking the submission of golden coffins to a shareholder vote or the elimination of the practice altogether. |

| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** shareholder proposals seeking a policy that forbids any director who receives more than 25% withhold votes cast (based on for and withhold votes) from serving on any key board committee for two years and asking the board to find replacement directors for the committees if need be. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** shareholder proposals urging the board to seek shareholder approval of severance agreements (e.g., golden and tin parachutes). |

---

● However, Putnam will vote  **<u>against</u>** such proposals when the company has a policy that minimally requires shareholder approval of severance agreements for executives that provides for cash severance benefits exceeding 2.99 times the sum of the executive's base salary plus target annual non-equity incentive plan bonus opportunity.

Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis on approving such compensation arrangements.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** shareholder proposals requiring companies to make cash payments under management severance agreements only if both of the following conditions are met: the company undergoes a change in control, and the change in control results in the termination of employment for the person receiving the severance payment. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis on shareholder proposals to limit a company's ability to make excise tax gross-up payments under management severance agreements as well as proposals to limit income or other tax gross-up payments. |

| ⮚ | Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis on shareholder proposals that conflict with board-approved proposals. |

---

**Environmental and Social**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam believes that sustainable environmental practices and sustainable social policies are important components of long-term value creation. Companies should evaluate the potential risks to their business operations that are directly related to environmental and social factors (among others). In evaluating shareholder proposals relating to environmental and social initiatives, Putnam takes into account (1) the relevance and materiality of the proposal to the company's business, (2) whether the proposal is well crafted (e.g., whether it references science-based targets, or standard global protocols), and (3) the practicality or reasonableness of implementing the proposal. |

---

Putnam may support well-crafted and well-targeted proposals that request additional reporting or disclosure on a company's plans to mitigate risk to the company related to the following issues and/or their strategies related to these issues: Environmental issues, including but not limited to, climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy, and broader sustainability issues; and Social issues, including but not limited to, fair pay, employee diversity and development, safety, labor rights, supply chain management*,* privacy and data security.

In addition, Putnam will consider proposals related to Artificial Intelligence ("AI") on a case-by-case basis.

Putnam will consider factors such as (i) the industry in which the company operates, (ii) the company's current level of disclosure, (iii) the company's level of oversight, (iv) the company's management of risk arising out of these matters, (v) whether the company has suffered a material financial impact. Other factors may also be considered.

Putnam will consider the recommendation of its third-party proxy service provider and may consider other factors such as third-party evaluations of ESG performance.

Additionally, Putnam may vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis on proposals which ask a company to take action beyond reporting where our third-party proxy service provider has identified one or more reasons to warrant a vote FOR.

**III. Voting Shares of Non-US Issuers**

Many non-US jurisdictions impose material burdens on voting proxies. There are three primary types of limits as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Share blocking. Shares must be frozen for certain periods of time to vote via proxy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Share re-registration. Shares must be re-registered out of the name of the local custodian or nominee into the name of the client
for the meeting and, in many cases, then re-registered back. Shares are normally blocked in this period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Powers of Attorney. Detailed documentation from a client must be given to the local sub-custodian. In many cases Putnam is not authorized
to deliver this information or sign the relevant documents.

Putnam's policy is to weigh the benefits to clients from voting in these jurisdictions against the detriments of not doing so. For example, in a share blocking jurisdiction, it will normally not be in a client's interest to freeze shares simply to participate in a non- contested routine meeting. More specifically, Putnam will normally not vote shares in non-US jurisdictions imposing burdensome proxy voting requirements except in significant votes (such as contested elections and major corporate transactions) where directed by portfolio managers.

Putnam recognizes that the laws governing non**-**US issuers will vary significantly from US law and from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Accordingly, it may not be possible or even advisable to apply these guidelines mechanically to non-US issuers. However, Putnam believes that shareholders of all companies are protected by the existence of a sound corporate governance and disclosure framework. Accordingly, Putnam will vote proxies of non**-**US issuers **<u>in accordance with the foregoing guidelines where applicable</u>**, except as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** shareholder proposals calling for a majority of the directors to be independent of management. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** shareholder proposals that implement corporate governance standards similar to those established under U.S. federal law and the listing requirements of U.S. stock exchanges, and that do not otherwise violate the laws of the jurisdiction under which the company is incorporated. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis on proposals relating to (1) the issuance of common stock in excess of 20% of a company's outstanding common stock where shareholders do not have preemptive rights, or (2) the issuance of common stock in excess of 100% of a company's outstanding common stock where shareholders have preemptive rights. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** proposals to authorize share repurchase programs that are recommended for approval by Putnam's proxy voting service provider, otherwise Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>** such proposals; except that Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case basis</u>** if there are concerns that there may be abusive practices related to the share repurchase programs. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>** authorizations to repurchase shares or issue shares or convertible debt instruments with or without preemptive rights when such authorization can be used as a takeover defense without shareholder approval. Putnam will not apply this policy to a company with a shareholder who controls more than 50% of its voting rights. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will generally vote <u>**for**</u> proposals that include debt issuances, however substantive/non-routine proposals, and proposals that fall outside of normal market practice or reasonable standards, will be reviewed on a <u>**case-by-case**</u> basis. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** board-approved routine, market-practice proposals. These proposals are limited to (1) those issues that will have little or no economic impact, such as technical, editorial, or mandatory regulatory compliance items, (2) those issues that will not adversely affect and/or which clearly improve shareholder rights/values, and which do not violate Putnam's proxy voting guidelines, or (3) those issues that do not seek to deviate from existing laws or regulations. Examples include but are not limited to, related party transactions (non-strategic), profit-and-loss transfer agreements (Germany), authority to increase paid-in capital (Taiwan). Should any unusual circumstances be identified concerning a normally routine issue, such proposals will be referred back to Putnam for internal review. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will generally vote **<u>for</u>** proposals regarding amendments seeking to expand business lines or to amend the corporate purpose, provided the proposal would not include a significant or material departure from the company's current business, and/or will provide the company with greater flexibility in the performance of its activities. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will normally vote **<u>for</u>** management proposals concerning allocation of income and the distribution of dividends. However, Putnam portfolio teams will override this guideline when they conclude that the proposals are outside the market norms (i.e., those seen as consistently and unusually small or large compared to market practices). |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will generally vote **<u>for</u>** proposals seeking to adjust the par value of common stock. However, non-routine, substantive proposals will be reviewed on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>** proposals that would authorize the company to reduce the notice period for calling special or extraordinary general meetings to less than 21-Days. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will generally vote **<u>for</u>** proposals relating to transfer of reserves/increase of reserves (i.e., France, Japan). However, Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis if the proposal falls outside of normal market practice. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will generally vote **<u>for</u>** proposals to increase the maximum variable pay ratio. However, Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis if we are voting against a company's remuneration report or if the proposal seeks an increase in excess of 200%. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will review stock option plans on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis which allow for the options exercise price to be reduced by dividend payments (if the plan would normally pass Putnam's Guidelines). |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will generally vote **<u>for</u>** requests to provide loan guarantees however, Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis if the total amount of guarantees is in excess of 100% of the company's audited net assets. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will generally support remuneration report/policy proposals (i.e., advisory/binding) where a company's executive compensation is linked directly with the performance of the business and executive. Putnam will generally support compensation proposals which incorporate a mix of reasonable salary and performance based short- and long-term incentives. Companies should demonstrate that their remuneration policies are designed and managed to incentivize and retain executives while growing the company's long-term shareholder value. |

---

Generally, Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>** remuneration report/policy proposals (i.e., advisory/binding) in the following cases:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Disconnect between pay and performance

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• No performance metrics disclosed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• No relative performance metrics utilized;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Single performance metric was used and it was an absolute measure;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Performance goals were lowered when management failed or was unlikely to meet original goals;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Long Term Incentive Plan is subject to retesting (e.g., Australia);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Service contracts longer than 12 months (e.g., United Kingdom);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Allows vesting below median for relative performance metrics;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Ex-gratia / non-contractual payments have been made (e.g., United Kingdom and Australia);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Contains provisions to automatically vest upon change-of-control; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other poor compensation practices or structures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Pension provisions for new executives is not at the same level as the majority of the wider workforce; pension provisions for incumbent
executives are not set to decrease over time (United Kingdom)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Proposed CEO salary increases are not justifiably appropriate in comparison to wider workforce or rationale for exception increases
is not fully disclosed (United Kingdom)

**<u>Matters Relating to Board of Directors</u>**

**<u>Uncontested Board Elections</u>**

***Asia: China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand***

 ****

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will **vote <u>against</u>** the entire board of directors if |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fewer than one-third of the directors are independent directors, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the board has not established <u>audit</u>, <u>compensation</u> and <u>nominating</u> committees each composed of a majority of independent
directors, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the chair of the audit, compensation or nominating committee is not an independent director.

Commentary: Companies listed in China (or dual-listed in China and Hong Kong) often have a separate supervisory committee in addition to a standard board of directors containing audit, compensation, and nominating committees. The supervisory committee provides oversight of the financial affairs of the company and supervises members of the board and management, while the board of directors makes decisions related to the company's business and investment strategies. The supervisory committee normally comprises employee representatives and shareholder representatives. Shareholder representatives are elected by shareholders of the company while employee representatives are elected by the company's staff. Shareholder representatives may be independent or may be affiliated with the company or its substantial shareholders. Current laws and regulations neither provide a basis for evaluation of supervisor independence nor do they require a supervisor to be independent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the board has not established an audit committee composed solely of non-executive directors, a majority of whom, including the chair
of the committee (who should not be the board chair), should be independent directors, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the board has not established nominating and compensation committees each composed of a majority of independent, non-executive directors,
with an independent chair.

---

---

|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will **<u>abstain</u>** on individual director allocation proposals if Putnam is voting for the proportional allocation of cumulative votes.

***Canada***

Canadian corporate governance requirements mirror corporate governance reforms that have been adopted by the NYSE and other U.S. national securities exchanges and stock markets. As a result, Putnam will vote on matters relating to the board of directors of Canadian issuers **<u>in accordance with the guidelines applicable to U.S. issuers.</u>**

<u>Commentary</u>: Like the UK's Combined Code on Corporate Governance, the policies on corporate governance issued by Canadian securities regulators embody the "comply and explain" approach to corporate governance. Because Putnam believes that the board independence standards contained in the proxy voting guidelines are integral to the protection of investors in Canadian companies, these standards will be applied in a prescriptive manner.

***Continental Europe (ex-Germany)***

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **against** the entire board of directors if |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fewer than a majority of the directors are independent directors, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the board has not established audit, nominating and compensation committees each composed of a majority of independent directors.

**<u>Commentary</u>**: An "independent director" under the European Commission's guidelines is one who is free of any business, family or other relationship, with the company, its controlling shareholder or the management of either, that creates a conflict of interest such as to impair his judgment. A "non-executive director" is one who is not engaged in the daily management of the company.

In France, Employee Representatives are employed by the company and represent rank and file employees. These representatives are elected by company employees. The law also provides for the appointment of employee shareholder representatives, if the employee shareholdings exceed 3% of the share capital. Employee shareholder representatives are elected by the company's shareholders (via general meeting).

***Germany***

---

⮚ the board has not established an audit committee comprising an Independent chair.

⮚ the audit committee chair serves as board chair.

⮚ the board contains more than two former management board members.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>** the election of a former member of the company's managerial board to chair of the supervisory board. |

---

<u>Commentary</u>: German corporate governance is characterized by a two-tier board system - a managerial board composed of the company's executive officers, and a supervisory board. The supervisory board appoints the members of the managerial board. Shareholders elect members of the supervisory board, except that in the case of companies with a large number of employees, company employees are allowed to elect some of the supervisory board members (one-half of supervisory board members are elected by company employees at companies with more than 2,000 employees; one-third of the supervisory board members are elected by company employees at companies with more than 500 employees but fewer than 2,000). This practice is known as co-determination.

**Election of Executive Director and Election of Supervisory Director – REIT**

REITs have a unique two-tier board structure with generally one or more executive directors and two or more supervisory directors. The number of supervisory directors must be greater than, not equal to, the number of executive directors. Shareholders are asked to vote on both types of directors. Putnam will vote as follows, provided each board of executive / supervisory directors meets legal requirements.

<u>Commentary:</u>

**Definition of outside director and independent director:**

The Japanese Companies Act focuses on two director classifications: Insider or Outsider. An outside director is a director who is not a director, executive, executive director, or employee of the company or its parent company, subsidiaries or affiliates. Further, a director, executive, executive director or employee, who have executive responsibilities, of the company or subsidiaries can regain eligibility ten years after his or her resignation, provided certain other requirements are met. An outside director is designated as an "independent" director based on the Tokyo Stock Exchange listing rules. An outside director is "independent" if that person can make decisions completely independent from the managers of the company, its parent, subsidiaries, or affiliates and does not have a material relationship with the company (i.e., major client, trading partner, or other business relationship; familial relationship with current director or executive; etc.).

The guidelines have incorporated these definitions in applying the board independence standards above.

***Korea***

Putnam will **<u>withhold votes</u>** from the entire board of directors if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For large companies (i.e., those with assets of at least KRW 2 trillion); the board does not have at least three independent directors
or less than a majority of directors are independent directors,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For small companies (i.e., those with assets of less than KRW 2 trillion), fewer than one-fourth of the directors are independent
directors,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The board has not established a nominating committee with at least half of the members being outside directors, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the board has not established an audit committee composed of at least three members and in which at least two-thirds of its members
are independent directors.

<u>Commentary:</u> For purposes of these guidelines, an "outside director" is a director who is independent from the management or controlling shareholders of the company and holds no interests that might impair performing his or her duties impartially from the company, management or controlling shareholder. In determining whether a director is an outside director, Putnam will also apply the standards included in Article 382 of the Korean Commercial Act*,* i.e., no employment relationship with the company for a period of two years before serving on the committee, no director or employment relationship with the company's largest shareholder, etc.) and may consider other business relationships that would affect the independence of an outside director.

| ⮚ | Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case basis</u>** for the election of nominees to the board of directors. |

---

<u>Commentary:</u> In Russia, director elections are handled through a cumulative voting process. Cumulative voting allows shareholders to cast all of their votes for a single nominee for the board of directors, or to allocate their votes among nominees in any other way. In contrast, in "regular" voting, shareholders may not give more than one vote per share to any single nominee. Cumulative voting can help to strengthen the ability of minority shareholders to elect a director.

***United Kingdom, Ireland***

 ****

<u>Commentary:</u>

**Application of guidelines**: Although the Combined Code has adopted the "comply and explain" approach to corporate governance, Putnam believes that the guidelines discussed above with respect to board independence standards are integral to the protection of investors in UK companies. As a result, these guidelines will be applied in a prescriptive manner.

**Definition of independence**: For the purposes of these guidelines, a non-executive director shall be considered independent if the director meets the independence standards in section A.3.1 of the Combined Code (i.e., no material business or employment relationships with the company, no remuneration from the company for non-board services, no close family ties with senior employees or directors of the company, etc.), except that Putnam does not view service on the board for more than nine years as affecting a director's independence.

**Smaller companies**: A smaller company is one that is below the FTSE 350 throughout the year immediately prior to the reporting year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the board has not established a Nomination committee composed of a majority of independent non-executive directors, excluding the
Non-Executive Chair, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the board has not established a Compensation committee composed of (1) at least three directors (in the case of smaller companies,
as defined by the Combined Code, two directors) and (2) solely of independent non-executive directors. The company chair may be a member
of, but not chair, the Committee provided he or she was considered independent on appointment as chair, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The board has not established an Audit Committee composed of, (1) at least three directors (in the case of smaller companies as defined
by the Combined Code, two directors) and (2) solely of independent non-executive directors. The board chair may not serve on the audit
committee of large or small companies.

**Additional Commentary regarding all Non-US jurisdictions:**

Whether a director is considered "independent" or not will be determined by reference to local corporate law or listing standards.

Some jurisdictions may legally require or allow companies to have a certain number of employee representatives, employee shareholder representatives (e.g., France) and/or shareholder representatives on their board. Putnam generally does not consider these representatives independent. The presence of employee representatives or employee shareholder representatives on the board and key committees is generally legally mandated. In most markets, shareholders do not have the ability to vote on the election of employee representatives or employee shareholder representatives. In some markets, significant shareholders have a legal right to nominate shareholder representatives. Shareholders are required to approve the election of shareholder representatives to the board. Unlike employee representatives, there are no legal requirements regarding the presence of shareholder representatives on the board or its committees.

**<u>Other Business Matters</u>**

***Japan***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**A.**  **<u>Article Amendments</u>** 

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | The Japanese Companies Act gives companies the option to adopt a U.S.-Style corporate structure (i.e., a board of directors and audit, nominating, and compensation committees). Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** proposals to amend a company's articles of incorporation to adopt the U.S.-Style "Board with Committees" structure. However, the independence of the outside directors is critical to effective corporate governance under this new system. Putnam will, therefore, scrutinize the backgrounds of the outside director nominees at such companies, and will vote **<u>against</u>** the amendment where Putnam believes the board lacks the necessary level of independence from the company or a substantial shareholder. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis on granting the board the authority to repurchase shares at its discretion. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>** amendments to delete a requirement directing the company to reduce authorized capital by the number of treasury shares cancelled. If issued share capital decreases while authorized capital remains unchanged, then the company will have greater leeway to issue new shares (for example as a private placement or a takeover defense). |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>** proposals to authorize appointment of special directors. Under the new Corporate Law, companies are allowed to appoint, from among their directors, "special directors" who will be authorized to make decisions regarding the purchase or sale of important assets and major borrowing or lending, on condition that the board has at least six directors, including at least one non-executive director. At least three special directors must participate in the decision-making process and decisions shall be made by a majority vote of the special directors. However, the law does not require any of the special directors to be non-executives, so in effect companies may use this mechanism to bypass outsiders. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will generally vote **<u>for</u>** proposals to create new class of shares or to conduct a share consolidation of outstanding shares to squeeze out minority shareholders. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>** proposals seeking to enable companies to establish specific rules governing the exercise of shareholder rights. (Note: Such as, shareholders' right to submit shareholder proposals or call special meetings.) |

---

**B. Compensation Related Matters**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>** option plans which allow the grant of options to suppliers, customers, and other outsiders. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>** stock option grants to independent internal statutory auditors. The granting of stock options to internal auditors, at the discretion of the directors, can compromise the independence of the auditors and provide incentives to ignore accounting problems, which could affect the stock price over the long term. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>** the payment of retirement bonuses to directors and statutory auditors when one or more of the individuals to whom the grants are being proposed has not served in an executive capacity for the company. Putnam will also vote **<u>against</u>** payment of retirement bonuses to any directors or statutory auditors who have been designated by the company as independent. Retirement bonus proposals are all-or-nothing, meaning that split votes against individual payments cannot be made. If any one individual does not meet Putnam's criteria, Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>** the entire bundled item. |

**C. <u>Other Business Matters</u>**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam votes **<u>for</u>** mergers by absorptions of wholly-owned subsidiaries by their parent companies. These deals do not require the issuance of shares, and do not result in any dilution or new obligations for shareholders of the parent company. These transactions are routine. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** the acquisition if it is between parent and wholly-owned subsidiary. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>for</u>** the formation of a holding company, if routine. Holding companies are once again legal in Japan and a number of companies, large and small, have sought approval to adopt a holding company structure. Most of the proposals are intended to help clarify operational authority for the different business areas in which the company is engaged and promote effective allocation of corporate resources. As most of the reorganization proposals do not entail any share issuances or any change in shareholders' ultimate ownership interest in the operating units, Putnam will treat most such proposals as routine. |

---

| ⮚ | Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>** proposals that authorize the board to vary the AGM record date. |

---

---

|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will vote on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis on private placements (Third-party share issuances). Where Putnam views the share issuance necessary to avoid bankruptcy or to put the company back on solid financial footing, Putnam will generally vote **<u>for</u>**. When a private placement allows a particular shareholder to obtain a controlling stake in the company at a discount to market prices, or where the private placement otherwise disadvantages ordinary shareholders, Putnam will vote **<u>against</u>**. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Putnam will generally vote **<u>against</u>** shareholder rights plans (poison pills). However, if all of the following criteria are met, Putnam will evaluate such poison pills on a **<u>case-by-case</u>** basis: |

---

1) The poison pill must have a duration of no more than three years.

2) The trigger threshold must be no less than 20 percent of issued capital.

3) The company must have no other types of takeover defenses in place.

4) The company must establish a committee to evaluate any takeover offers, and the members of that committee must all meet Putnam's' definition of independence.

5) At least 20 percent, and no fewer than two, of the directors must meet Putnam's definition of independence. These independent directors must also meet Putnam's guidelines on board meeting attendance.

6) The directors must stand for reelection on an annual basis.

7) The company must release its proxy materials no less than three weeks before the meeting date.

<u>Potential conflicts of interest in managing multiple accounts.</u> Like other investment professionals with multiple clients, the fund's Portfolio Managers may face certain potential conflicts of interest in connection with managing both the fund and the other accounts listed under "Other Accounts Managed by the Fund's Portfolio Managers" at the same time. The paragraphs below describe some of these potential conflicts, which the investment manager believes are faced by investment professionals at most major financial firms. As described below, the investment manager and the Trustees of the Putnam funds have adopted compliance policies and procedures that attempt to address certain of these potential conflicts.

The management of accounts with different advisory fee rates and/or fee structures, including accounts that pay advisory fees based on account performance ("performance fee accounts"), may raise potential conflicts of interest by creating an incentive to favor higher-fee accounts. These potential conflicts may include, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The most attractive investments could be allocated to higher-fee accounts or performance fee accounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The trading of higher-fee accounts could be favored as to timing and/or execution price. For example, higher-fee accounts could be
permitted to sell securities earlier than other accounts when a prompt sale is desirable or to buy securities at an earlier and more opportune
time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The trading of other accounts could be used to benefit higher-fee accounts (front- running).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The investment management team could focus their time and efforts primarily on higher-fee accounts due to a personal stake in compensation.

The investment manager attempts to address these potential conflicts of interest relating to higher-fee accounts through various compliance policies that are generally intended to place all accounts, regardless of fee structure, on the same footing for investment management purposes. For example, under the investment manager's policies:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Performance fee accounts must be included in all standard trading and allocation procedures with all other accounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• All accounts must be allocated to a specific category of account and trade in parallel with allocations of similar accounts based
on the procedures generally applicable to all accounts in those groups (e.g., based on relative risk budgets of accounts).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• All trading must be effected through Putnam's trading desks and normal queues and procedures must be followed (i.e., no special
treatment is permitted for performance fee accounts or higher-fee accounts based on account fee structure).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Front running is strictly prohibited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The fund's Portfolio Manager(s) may not be guaranteed or specifically allocated any portion of a performance fee.

As part of these policies, the investment manager has also implemented trade oversight and review procedures in order to monitor whether particular accounts (including higher-fee accounts or performance fee accounts) are being favored over time.

Potential conflicts of interest may also arise when the Portfolio Manager(s) have personal investments in other accounts that may create an incentive to favor those accounts. As a general matter and subject to limited exceptions, the investment managers investment professionals do not have the opportunity to invest in client accounts, other than the Putnam funds. However, in the ordinary course of business, the investment manager or related persons may from time to time establish "pilot" or "incubator" funds for the purpose of testing proposed investment strategies and products prior to offering them to clients. These pilot accounts may be in the form of registered investment companies, private funds such as partnerships or separate accounts established by Putnam Management or an affiliate. The investment manager or an affiliate supplies the funding for these accounts. Putnam employees, including the fund's Portfolio Manager(s), may also invest in certain pilot accounts. The investment manager, and to the extent applicable, the Portfolio Manager(s) will benefit from the

favorable investment performance of those funds and accounts. Pilot funds and accounts may, and frequently do, invest in the same securities as the client accounts. t\The investment manager policy is to treat pilot accounts in the same manner as client accounts for purposes of trading allocation – neither favoring nor disfavoring them except as is legally required. For example, pilot accounts are normally included in the investment managers daily block trades to the same extent as client accounts (except that pilot accounts do not participate in initial public offerings).

A potential conflict of interest may arise when the fund and other accounts purchase or sell the same securities. On occasions when the Portfolio Manager(s) consider the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interests of the fund as well as other accounts, the investment managers trading desk may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased in order to obtain the best execution and lower brokerage commissions, if any. Aggregation of trades may create the potential for unfairness to the fund or another account if one account is favored over another in allocating the securities purchased or sold – for example, by allocating a disproportionate amount of a security that is likely to increase in value to a favored account. The investment manager trade allocation policies generally provide that each day's transactions in securities that are purchased or sold by multiple accounts are, insofar as possible, averaged as to price and allocated between such accounts (including the fund) in a manner which in Franklin Advisers opinion is equitable to each account and in accordance with the amount being purchased or sold by each account. Certain exceptions exist for specialty, regional or sector accounts. Trade allocations are reviewed on a periodic basis as part of the investment managers trade oversight procedures in an attempt to ensure fairness over time across accounts.

"Cross trades," in which one Putnam account sells a particular security to another account (potentially saving transaction costs for both accounts), may also pose a potential conflict of interest. Cross trades may be seen to involve a potential conflict of interest if, for example, one account is permitted to sell a security to another account at a higher price than an independent third party would pay, or if such trades result in more attractive investments being allocated to higher-fee accounts. The investment manager and the fund's Trustees have adopted compliance procedures that provide that any transactions between the fund and another Putnam-advised account are to be made at an independent current market price, as required by law.

Another potential conflict of interest may arise based on the different investment objectives and strategies of the fund and other accounts. For example, another account may have a shorter-term investment horizon or different investment objectives, policies or restrictions than the fund. Depending on another account's objectives or other factors, the Portfolio Manager(s) may give advice and make decisions that may differ from advice given, or the timing or nature of decisions made, with respect to the fund. In addition, investment decisions are the product of many factors in addition to basic suitability for the particular account involved. Thus, a particular security may be bought or sold for certain accounts even though it could have been bought or sold for other accounts at the same time. More rarely, a particular security may be bought for one or more accounts managed by the Portfolio Manager(s) when one or more other accounts are selling the security (including short sales). There may be circumstances when purchases or sales of portfolio securities for one or more accounts may have an adverse

effect on other accounts. As noted above, the investment manager has implemented trade oversight and review procedures to monitor whether any account is systematically favored over time.

The fund's Portfolio Manager(s) may also face other potential conflicts of interest in managing the fund, and the description above is not a complete description of every conflict that could be deemed to exist in managing both the fund and other accounts.

(a)(3) **Compensation of portfolio managers.** Portfolio managers are evaluated and compensated across the group of specified products they manage, in part, based on their performance relative to peers or performance ahead of the applicable benchmark, depending on the product, based on a blend of 3-year and 5-year performance. In addition, evaluations take into account individual contributions and a subjective component.

Each portfolio manager is assigned an industry-competitive incentive compensation target consistent with this goal and evaluation framework. Actual incentive compensation may be higher or lower than the target, based on group, individual, and subjective performance, and may also reflect the performance of Putnam as a firm.

Incentive compensation includes a cash bonus and may also include grants of deferred cash, stock or options. In addition to incentive compensation, portfolio managers receive fixed annual salaries typically based on level of responsibility and experience.

For Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust and Putnam Municipal Opportunities Trust, Franklin evaluates performance based on the fund's peer ranking in the fund's Lipper category. This peer ranking is based on pre-tax performance.

For Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust and Putnam Premier Income Trust, Putnam evaluates performance based on the peer ranking of related products managed by the investment manager with similar strategies in those products' Lipper categories. This peer ranking is based on pre-tax performance.

One or more of the portfolio managers of Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust and Putnam Premier Income Trust receive a portion of the performance fee payable by a private fund managed by Putnam (the "Private Fund") in connection with their service as members of the Private Fund portfolio management team. See "Other Accounts Managed by the Fund's Portfolio Managers—Potential conflicts of interest in managing multiple accounts" in (a)(2) above for information on how the investment manager addresses potential conflicts of interest resulting from an individual's management of more than one account.

(a)(4) **Fund ownership.** The following table shows the dollar ranges of shares of the fund owned by the professionals listed above at the end of the fund's last two fiscal years, including investments by their immediate family members and amounts invested through retirement and deferred compensation plans.

**FRANKLIN TEMPLETON AFFILIATED FUNDS**

**CODE OF ETHICS FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVES AND**

**SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I. Covered Officers
 and Purpose of the Code

This code of ethics (the "Code") applies to the Principal Executive Officers, Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer (the "Covered Officers") of each investment company advised by a Franklin Resources subsidiary and that is registered with the United States Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC") (collectively, "FT Funds") for the purpose of promoting:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Honest
 and ethical conduct, including the ethical resolution of actual or apparent conflicts of
 interest between personal and professional relationships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Full,
 fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant
 files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by or on behalf
 of the FT Funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Compliance
 with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The
 prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified
 in the Code; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Accountability
 for adherence to the Code.

Each Covered Officer will be expected to adhere to a high standard of business ethics and must be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

*\** Rule 38a-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") and Rule 206(4)-7 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 ("Advisers Act") (together the "Compliance Rule") require registered investment companies and registered investment advisers to, among other things, adopt and implement written policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent violations of the federal securities laws ("Compliance Rule Policies and Procedures").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;II. Other Policies
 and Procedures

This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder.

Franklin Resources, Inc. has separately adopted the <u>Code of Ethics and Business Conduct</u> ("Business Conduct"), which is applicable to all officers, directors and employees of Franklin Resources, Inc., including Covered Officers. It summarizes the values, principles and business practices that guide the employee's business conduct and also provides a set of basic principles to guide officers, directors and employees regarding the minimum ethical requirements expected of them. It supplements the values, principles and business conduct identified in the Code and other existing employee policies.

Additionally, the Franklin Templeton Funds have separately adopted the <u>FTI Personal Investments and Insider Trading Policy</u> governing personal securities trading and other related matters. The Code for Insider Trading provides for separate requirements that apply to the Covered Officers and others, and therefore is not part of this Code.

Insofar as other policies or procedures of Franklin Resources, Inc., the Funds, the Funds' adviser, principal underwriter, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. Please review these other documents or consult with the Legal Department if have questions regarding the applicability of these policies to you.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;III. Covered
 Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest

**Overview.** A "conflict of interest" occurs when a Covered Officer's private interest interferes with the interests of, or his or her service to, the FT Funds. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of a position with the FT Funds.

Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the FT Funds and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Investment Company Act") and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 ("Investment Advisers Act"). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the FT Funds because of their status as "affiliated persons" of the FT Funds. The FT Funds' and the investment advisers' compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code.

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the FT Funds, the investment advisers and the fund administrator of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the FT Funds, for the adviser, the administrator, or for all three), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the

adviser, administrator and the FT Funds. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the FT Funds, the adviser, and the administrator and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the FT Funds. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the FT Funds' Boards of Directors ("Boards") that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes.

Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the FT Funds.

Each Covered Officer must:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Not
 use his or her personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment
 decisions or financial reporting by the FT Funds whereby the Covered Officer would benefit
 personally to the detriment of the FT Funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Not
 cause the FT Funds to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit
 of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of the FT Funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Not
 retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of the FT Funds or their affiliated
 persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Report
 at least annually the following affiliations or other relationships:<sup>1</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all
 directorships for public companies and all companies that are required to file reports with
 the SEC;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any
 direct or indirect business relationship with any independent directors of the FT Funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any
 direct or indirect business relationship with any independent public accounting firm (which
 are not related to the routine issues related to the firm's service as the Covered
 Persons accountant); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any
 direct or indirect interest in any transaction with any FT Fund that will benefit the officer
 (not including benefits derived from the advisory, sub-advisory, distribution or service
 agreements with affiliates of Franklin Resources).

These reports will be reviewed by the Legal Department for compliance with the Code.

There are some conflict of interest situations that should always be approved in writing by Franklin Resources General Counsel or Deputy General Counsel, if material. Examples of these include<sup>2</sup>:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Service
 as a director on the board of any public or private Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The
 receipt of any gifts in excess of $100 from any person, from any corporation or association.

<sup>1</sup> Reporting of these affiliations or other relationships shall be made by completing the annual Directors and Officers Questionnaire and returning the questionnaire to Franklin Resources Inc, General Counsel or Deputy General Counsel.

<sup>2</sup> Any activity or relationship that would present a conflict for a Covered Officer may also present a conflict for the Covered Officer if a member of the Covered Officer's immediate family engages in such an activity or has such a relationship. The Covered Person should also obtain written approval by FT's General Counsel in such situations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The
 receipt of any entertainment from any Company with which the FT Funds has current or prospective
 business dealings unless such entertainment is business related, reasonable in cost, appropriate
 as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety. Notwithstanding
 the foregoing, the Covered Officers must obtain prior approval from the Franklin Resources
 General Counsel for any entertainment with a value in excess of $1000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Any
 ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the FT Fund's
 service providers, other than an investment adviser, principal underwriter, administrator
 or any affiliated person thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A
 direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid
 by the FT Funds for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other
 than an interest arising from the Covered Officer's employment, such as compensation
 or equity ownership.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Franklin
 Resources General Counsel or Deputy General Counsel, or the Chief Compliance Officer, will
 provide a report to the FT Funds Audit Committee of any approvals granted at the next regularly
 scheduled meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;IV. Disclosure
 and Compliance

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Each
 Covered Officer should familiarize himself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable
 to the FT Funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Each
 Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts
 about the FT Funds to others, whether within or outside the FT Funds, including to the FT
 Funds' directors and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self- regulatory
 organizations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Each
 Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his or her area of responsibility,
 consult with other officers and employees of the FT Funds, the FT Fund's adviser and
 the administrator with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable
 disclosure in the reports and documents the FT Funds file with, or submit to, the SEC and
 in other public communications made by the FT Funds; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• It
 is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and
 restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;V. Reporting
 and Accountability

Each Covered Officer must:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Upon
 becoming a covered officer affirm in writing to the Board that he or she has received, read,
 and understands the Code (see Exhibit A);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Annually
 thereafter affirm to the Board that he has complied with the requirements of the Code; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Notify
 Franklin Resources' General Counsel or Deputy General Counsel promptly if he or she
 knows of any violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself is a violation of this Code.

Franklin Resources' General Counsel and Deputy General Counsel are responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and have the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation.<sup>3</sup> However, the Independent Directors of the respective FT Funds will consider any approvals or waivers<sup>4</sup> sought by any Chief Executive Officers of the Funds.

The FT Funds will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Franklin
 Resources General Counsel or Deputy General Counsel will take all appropriate action to investigate
 any potential violations reported to the Legal Department;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If,
 after such investigation, the General Counsel or Deputy General Counsel believes that no
 violation has occurred, The General Counsel is not required to take any further action;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Any
 matter that the General Counsel or Deputy General Counsel believes is a violation will be
 reported to the Independent Directors of the appropriate FT Fund;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If
 the Independent Directors concur that a violation has occurred, it will inform and make a
 recommendation to the Board of the appropriate FT Fund or Funds, which will consider appropriate
 action, which may include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies
 and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of the investment adviser or its board;
 or a recommendation to dismiss the Covered Officer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The
 Independent Directors will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Any
 changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, are disclosed as provided
 by SEC rules.<sup>5</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;VI. Other
 Policies and Procedures

This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the FT Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the FT Funds, the FT Funds' advisers, principal underwriter, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. The FTI Personal Investments and Insider Trading Policy, adopted by the FT Funds, FT investment advisers and FT Fund's principal underwriter pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act, the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and more detailed policies and procedures set forth in FT's Employee Handbook are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;VII. Amendments

Any amendments to this Code must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the FT Funds' Board including a majority of independent directors.

<sup>3</sup> Franklin Resources General Counsel and Deputy General Counsel are authorized to consult, as appropriate, with members of the Audit Committee, counsel to the FT Funds and counsel to the Independent Directors, and are encouraged to do so.

<sup>4</sup> Item 2 of Form N-CSR defines "waiver" as "the approval by the registrant of a material departure from a provision of the code of ethics" and "implicit waiver," which must also be disclosed, as "the registrant's failure to take action within a reasonable period of time regarding a material departure from a provision of the code of ethics that has been made known to an executive officer" of the registrant. See Part X.

<sup>5</sup> See Part X.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;VIII. Confidentiality

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the FT Funds' Board and their counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;IX. Internal
 Use

The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the FT Funds and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of any FT Funds, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;X. Disclosure
 on Form N-CSR

Item 2 of Form N-CSR requires a registered management investment company to disclose annually whether, as of the end of the period covered by the report, it has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these officers are employed by the registrant or a third party. If the registrant has not adopted such a code of ethics, it must explain why it has not done so.

The registrant must also: (1) file with the SEC a copy of the code as an exhibit to its annual report; (2) post the text of the code on its Internet website and disclose, in its most recent report on Form N-CSR, its Internet address and the fact that it has posted the code on its Internet website; or (3) undertake in its most recent report on Form N-CSR to provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of the code and explain the manner in which such request may be made. Disclosure is also required of amendments to, or waivers (including implicit waivers) from, a provision of the code in the registrant's annual report on Form N-CSR or on its website. If the registrant intends to satisfy the requirement to disclose amendments and waivers by posting such information on its website, it will be required to disclose its Internet address and this intention.

The Legal Department shall be responsible for ensuring that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a
 copy of the Code is filed with the SEC as an exhibit to each Fund's annual report;
 and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any
 amendments to, or waivers (including implicit waivers) from, a provision of the Code is disclosed
 in the registrant's annual report on Form N-CSR.

In the event that the foregoing disclosure is omitted or is determined to be incorrect, the Legal Department shall promptly file such information with the SEC as an amendment to Form N- CSR.

In such an event, the Fund Chief Compliance Officer shall review the Code and propose such changes to the Code as are necessary or appropriate to prevent reoccurrences.

You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund's Distribution Policy.

Each fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with 'yield' or 'income.

The following information will be available for each Fund at www.franklintempleton.com at the frequencies indicated: (1) Full holdings will be available monthly; (2) Top 10 holdings and additional portfolio statistics will be available monthly.
