*Based on total assets. Leverage achieved through the issuance of APS. Use of financial leverage creates an opportunity for increased income, but at the same time creates special risks (including the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and market prices of common shares). Please see note above entitled "Leverage" for further information on these percentages.

+ Beginning in May 2008 through August 2008, the Fund redeemed in full its APS.

Each Municipal Income Trust paid a monthly dividend on September 17, 2009 to shareholders of record on September 10, 2009. Each Insured Municipal Bond Fund paid a monthly dividend on September 30, 2009 to shareholders of record on September 23, 2009. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of future distributions may change.
