HIGHLIGHTS
Aggressive
monetary
tightening
by
the
Federal
Reserve
to
combat
high
inflation
caused
interest
rates
to
rise
sharply
over
the
past
12
months.
Consequently,
the
broad
municipal
bond
market
posted
deeply
negative
returns,
with
municipal
bond
yields
increasing
broadly
across
the
yield
curve
and
municipal
bond
prices
depreciating
against
the
backdrop
of
rising
U.S.
Treasury
yields
and
elevated
volatility.
T.
Rowe
Price’s
tax-free
bond
funds
posted
losses
and
underperformed
their
respective
Bloomberg
benchmarks,
although
the
Tax-Free
Income
Fund,
the
Tax-Free
Short-Intermediate
Fund,
and
the
Intermediate
Tax-Free
High
Yield
Fund
outperformed
their
Lipper
peer
groups.
With
money
market
yields
rising
from
ultralow
levels,
the
Tax-Exempt
Money
Fund
delivered
modestly
positive
returns
but
lagged
its
Lipper
index.
We
continued
to
favor
bonds
from
health
care
issuers,
particularly
those
with
strong
balance
sheets
and
effective
management
teams.
Additionally,
we
remained
constructive
on
major
airports
as
a
continued
recovery
in
air
travel
to
pre-pandemic
levels
and
grants
to
airports
through
the
Infrastructure
Investment
and
Jobs
Act
provided
support.
Despite
substantial
macroeconomic
headwinds,
the
market’s
credit
fundamentals
remained
generally
strong
thanks
to
pandemic-era
federal
aid
and
improved
fiscal
management
by
some
of
the
most
challenged
municipal
bond
issuers.
These
factors,
in
our
view,
should
help
buffer
credit
ratings
in
a
recession
if
one
transpires.

Market
Commentary
Dear
Shareholder
Nearly
all
major
global
stock
and
bond
indexes
declined
during
your
fund’s
fiscal
year,
the
12-month
period
ended
February
28,
2023,
as
investors
contended
with
persistently
high
inflation,
tightening
financial
conditions,
and
slowing
economic
and
corporate
earnings
growth.
The
downturn
was
most
pronounced
in
the
first
half
of
the
period,
with
many
sectors
partially
rebounding
over
the
final
six
months
as
recession
fears
receded
somewhat.
For
the
12-month
period,
value
shares
declined
but
generally
outperformed
growth
stocks
as
rising
interest
rates
put
downward
pressure
on
growth
stock
valuations.
European
equities
outperformed
most
other
regions,
and
emerging
markets
stocks
generally
underperformed
shares
in
developed
markets.
Meanwhile,
most
currencies
weakened
versus
the
U.S.
dollar
over
the
period,
which
weighed
on
returns
for
U.S.
investors
in
international
securities.
Within
the
S&P
500
Index,
energy
was
a
bright
spot,
gaining
more
than
20%
as
oil
prices
jumped
in
response
to
Russia’s
invasion
of
Ukraine
and
concerns
over
supply
shortages.
Conversely,
communication
services
and
consumer
discretionary
shares
suffered
the
largest
declines.
Elevated
inflation
remained
a
leading
concern
for
investors
throughout
the
period,
although
there
were
signs
that
price
increases
were
moderating
by
period-end.
January’s
consumer
price
index
data
(the
latest
available
in
our
reporting
period)
showed
a
headline
inflation
rate
of
6.4%
on
a
12-month
basis,
the
lowest
level
since
October
2021
but
still
well
above
the
Federal
Reserve’s
2%
long-term
target.
In
response
to
the
high
inflation
readings,
the
Fed
raised
its
short-term
lending
benchmark
from
near
zero
in
March
2022
to
a
target
range
of
4.50%
to
4.75%
by
the
end
of
the
period,
the
highest
since
2007.
The
Fed
stepped
down
to
a
25-basis-point
increase
in
February
after
a
series
of
historically
large
75-basis-
point
hikes
in
2022,
but
policymakers
indicated
that
further
rate
increases
are
needed
to
curb
inflation.
Bond
yields
increased
considerably
across
the
U.S.
Treasury
yield
curve
as
the
Fed
tightened
monetary
policy,
with
the
yield
on
the
benchmark
10-year
note
climbing
from
1.83%
at
the
start
of
the
period
to
3.92%
at
the
end
of
February.
Significant
inversions
in
the
yield
curve,
which
are
often
considered
a
warning
sign
of
a
coming
recession,
occurred
during
the
period
as
shorter-maturity
Treasuries
experienced
the
largest
yield
increases.
The
sharp
increase
in
yields
led
to
historically
weak
results
across
the
fixed
income
market.
Municipal
bonds
were
pressured
by
higher
Treasury
yields,
but
the
tax-free
sector
held
up
better
than
Treasuries
during
the
period.
Although
municipals
experienced
outflows,
a
drop
in
new
issuance
amid
higher
borrowing
costs
provided
technical
support.
As
the
period
came
to
an
end,
the
economic
backdrop
appeared
mixed.
Corporate
earnings
declined
4.6%
in
the
fourth
quarter
for
the
year-over-
year
period,
according
to
FactSet,
the
first
decline
in
earnings
since
the
third
quarter
of
2020.
However,
the
U.S.
jobs
market
remained
resilient,
with
the
unemployment
rate
reaching
its
lowest
level
since
1969,
and
corporate
and
household
balance
sheets
appeared
strong.
Moreover,
China’s
decision
near
the
end
of
2022
to
ease
its
strict
pandemic-related
restrictions
spurred
hopes
that
the
reopening
of
the
world’s
second-largest
economy
would
boost
global
growth.
While
the
U.S.
economy
has
so
far
managed
to
avoid
a
recession,
we
believe
that
volatility
may
continue
in
the
near
term
as
central
banks
tighten
policy
amid
slowing
economic
growth.
However,
in
our
view,
there
continue
to
be
opportunities
for
selective
investors
focused
on
fundamentals.
Valuations
in
most
global
equity
markets
have
improved,
while
bond
yields
have
reached
some
of
the
most
attractive
levels
since
the
2008
global
financial
crisis.
We
believe
this
environment
makes
skilled
active
management
a
critical
tool
for
identifying
risks
and
opportunities,
and
our
investment
teams
will
continue
to
use
fundamental
research
to
identify
securities
that
have
the
potential
to
add
value
to
your
portfolio
over
the
long
term.
Thank
you

continued

FUND
COMMENTARY
How
did
the

perform
in
the
past 12

The
Tax-Exempt
Money
Fund
returned
1.20%
for
the
12
months
ended
February
28,
2023,
compared
with
1.44%
for
the
Lipper

Market
Funds

)
What
factors
influenced
the
fund’s
performance?
Tax-free
money
market
yields
rose
markedly
over
the
past
12
months
in
response
to
rapid
interest
rate
hikes
by
the
Federal
Reserve
(Fed)
to
fight
high
inflation.
Municipal
bonds
depreciated
against
the
backdrop
of
rising
U.S.
Treasury
yields
and
elevated
volatility.
Industrywide
outflows
persisted
over
the
period
as
large
swings
in
interest
rates
and
a
tenuous
macroeconomic
backdrop
caused
many
municipal
investors
to
step
back
from
the
market.
Outflows
were
further
reinforced
by
an
uptick
in
redemption
activity
as
well
as
tax
loss
harvesting,
whereby
investors
sold
assets
at
a
loss
to
reduce
capital
gains
taxes.
However,
a
generally
light
supply
of
bonds
held
by
primary
dealers
and
below-average
issuance
levels
helped
mitigate
technical
strains
in
the
tax-free
market.
In
this
environment,
yields
on
AAA
rated
one-year
municipals
climbed
to
3.03%
by
the
end
of
February
from
0.81%
at
the
start
of
the
period,
while
rates
on
municipals
with
seven-day
maturities
increased
to
3.37%
from
0.20%.
Attractive
short-term
yields
spurred
interest
in
money
market
investing,
and
the
fund’s
assets,
following
an
industrywide
trend,
grew
over
the
reporting
period.
While
rising
yields
were
a
headwind
for
longer-term
assets,
the
fund
was
able
to
produce
a
positive
return
for
investors
in
an
extremely
volatile
year
for
fixed
income.

How
is
the
fund
positioned?
Overall,
the
fund’s
weighted
average
maturity
(WAM)
ended
the
reporting
period
around
the
same
level
where
it
started.
Still,
we
actively
aimed
to
extend
the
fund’s
WAM
relative
to
peers
in
the
tax-exempt
money
market
universe
to
take
advantage
of
compelling
yield
opportunities.
We
maintained
significant
exposure
to
very
short-term
variable
rate
demand
notes
(VRDNs)
for
liquidity
purposes
in
case
the
asset
flows
reversed.
At
period-end,
VRDNs
represented
48%
of
the
fund’s
assets.
The
fund
also
invested
16%
of
its
net
assets
as
of
the
period-end
in
variable
rate
trust
receipts.
Fixed
rate
commercial
paper
with
maturities
out
to
90
days
held
steady
since
our
last
report
at
approximately
22%
of
the
portfolio,
with
the
remainder
of
its
holdings
composed
of
mostly
fixed
rate
notes
and
bonds
maturing
in
one
year
or
less.
However,
heading
into
the
beginning
of
2023,
the
fund’s
WAM
decreased
as
seasonal
effects
and
rich
valuations
prevented
us
from
finding
compelling
opportunities
further
out
on
the
curve.
As
tax
season
approaches,
we
can
extend
our
WAM
again
should
valuations
turn
more
attractive
in
the
municipal
money
market
sector.
Revenue-backed
securities
from
health
care
issuers
remained
the
fund’s
largest
sector
allocation.
Hospitals’
operating
margins
came
under
pressure
during
the
period
as
inflation
accelerated
and
pandemic-related
federal
support
diminished.
While
we
expected
hospitals’
financial
performance
to
remain
challenged,
our
long-term
view
of
nonprofit
hospitals
remained
generally
constructive,
and
we
believed
that
large
hospitals
with
strong
balance
sheets
and
effective
management
teams
would
be
able
to
successfully
navigate
this
environment.
What
is
portfolio
management’s
outlook?
Recent
market
stress
has
called
into
question
the
ability
for
the
Federal
Open
Market
Committee
to
continue
raising
interest
rates
in
its
effort
to
curb
inflation.
The
balance
between
market
stress
and
the
Fed’s
success
in
lowering
inflation
will
likely
be
the
driving
force
of
short-term
interest
rates
and
the
fund’s
positioning
going
forward.
PORTFOLIO
COMPOSITION
Tax-Exempt
Money
Fund
Money
markets
have
held
up
well
despite
the
path
of
aggressive
monetary
tightening
by
the
Fed.
This
environment
has
pushed
yields
to
their
highest
levels
in
more
than
a
decade,
offering
investors
more
attractive
income
potential
and
some
cushion
against
a
further
rise
in
rates.
Despite
substantial
macroeconomic
headwinds,
the
market’s
credit
fundamentals
remained
generally
strong
thanks
to
pandemic-era
federal
aid
and
improved
fiscal
management
by
some
of
the
most
challenged
municipal
bond
issuers.
These
factors,
in
our
view,
should
help
buffer
credit
ratings
in
a
recession
if
one
transpires.
Within
that
context,
credit
spreads
unsurprisingly
widened
in
2022
as
economic
growth
slowed,
with
some
sectors
experiencing
more
material
weakness
in
their
credit
profiles.
We
expect
spreads
to
widen
further
if
the
economy
contracts,
potentially
increasing
opportunities
to
identify
mispriced
bonds
through
in-depth
credit
research.
This
backdrop
of
higher
yields,
wider
credit
spreads,
and
generally
solid
fundamentals
should,
in
our
view,
draw
investors
back
to
the
municipal
market
in
2023.
While
we
see
potential
for
industrywide
outflows
to
persist
until
interest
rate
volatility
shows
a
more
sustained
moderation,
we
ultimately
anticipate
constructive
technical
conditions
over
the
near
term,
bolstered
by
expected
coupon
reinvestments
and
below-average
issuance
levels.

FUND
COMMENTARY
How
did

perform
in

past 12
months?
The
Tax-Free
Short-Intermediate
Fund
returned
-1.92%
over
the
12
months
ended
February
28,
2023.
The
fund
outperformed
its
Lipper
peer
group
average
but
underperformed
its
Bloomberg
index
benchmark.
(Results
for
Advisor
and
I
Class
shares
varied,
reflecting
their
different
fee
structures.
Past
performance
cannot
guarantee
future
results
.)
What
factors
influenced
the
fund’s
performance?
Over
the
past
12
months,
municipal
bonds
depreciated
against
the
backdrop
of
rising
U.S.
Treasury
yields
and
elevated
volatility.
Municipal
bond
yields
rose
broadly
as
the
Federal
Reserve
(Fed)
hiked
interest
rates
to
curb
inflation
pressures.
Industrywide
outflows
persisted
over
the
period
as
large
swings
in
interest
rates
and
a
tenuous
macroeconomic
backdrop
caused
many
municipal
investors
to
step
back
from
the
market.
Outflows
were
further
reinforced
by
an
uptick
in
redemption
activity
as
well
as
tax
loss
harvesting,
whereby
investors
sold
assets
at
a
loss
to
reduce
capital
gains
taxes.
However,
a
generally
light
supply
of
bonds
held
by
primary
dealers
and
below-
average
issuance
levels
helped
mitigate
technical
strains
in
the
tax-free
market.
The
fund’s
asset
allocation
and
security
selection
detracted
for
the
period.
Our
broad
overweight
in
revenue-backed
debt
weighed
on
performance,
with
overweights
in
the
prepaid
gas
and
hospitals
subsectors
dragging
on
returns.
Security
selections
within
airports
and
the
dedicated
tax
subsectors
were
also
negative.
Out-of-benchmark
exposure
to
securities
backed
by
sales
tax
in
Puerto
Rico
underperformed.
Our
investment
thesis
on
Puerto
Rico
remains
intact
despite
recent
weakness
as
the
commonwealth
successfully
exited
bankruptcy
and
stands
to
benefit
from
increased
federal
aid
and
oversight
going
forward.
While
rising
yields
weighed
broadly
across
municipal
securities,
the
fund’s
nimble
positioning
in
interest
rate
management
notably
contributed
to
relative
performance.
Compared
with
the
benchmark,
the
portfolio
held
a
modestly
short
duration
posture
early
in
the
period
based
on
our
expectations
for
short-
and
intermediate-term
yields
to
climb
as
the
Fed
commenced
its
widely
anticipated
rate-hiking
cycle.
This
positioning
benefited
relative
performance
as
yields
surged.
We
later
shifted
toward
a
slightly
long
relative
duration
posture,
which
added
value
in
late
June
and
July
while
yields
briefly
retreated
from
earlier
highs.
Later,
a
slightly
short
relative
duration
position
in
August
helped
while
interest
rates
climbed.
By
the
end
of
the
period,
the
fund
held
a
modestly
long
duration
posture.
Curve
positioning
was
also
additive.

as

How
is
the
fund
positioned?
Heading
into
the
second
half
of
2022,
we
believed
that
the
historic
sell-off
in
fixed
income,
though
painful
for
bondholders,
created
opportunities
in
the
municipal
market
through
markedly
higher
yields
and
more
attractive
credit
risk
compensation.
While
remaining
mindful
that
interest
rate
volatility
and
industrywide
outflows
could
persist
and
further
impede
market
performance,
we
sought
to
take
advantage
of
cheaper
valuations
and
better
position
the
fund
for
a
potential
rally.
To
that
end,
we
allowed
the
fund’s
duration
to
extend
modestly
closer
to
the
end
of
the
period
with
a
slightly
longer
duration
than
the
benchmark.
We
believed
that
a
longer-than-
benchmark
duration
stance
was
appropriate
given
the
high
probability,
in
our
view,
that
economic
growth
and
inflation
will
cool
in
2023
and
ease
upward
pressures
on
rates.
Additionally,
we
migrated
away
from
bonds
with
shorter
call
provisions
in
an
effort
to
improve
the
fund’s
ability
to
benefit
from
a
potential
decline
in
bond
yields.
Despite
higher
yields
and
improved
valuations
for
municipals,
we
believed
that
growing
uncertainty
about
the
global
economic
outlook
and
continued
rate
volatility
could
lead
to
further
outflows
from
the
tax-exempt
market.
For
that
reason,
we
sought
to
bolster
liquidity
in
the
portfolio,
which,
in
our
view,
places
the
fund
in
a
better
position
to
withstand

the

Among

we
particularly
favored
bonds
issued
for
projects
that,
in
our
view,
function
as
essential-service
utilities
for
their
respective
regions.
We
maintained
a
positive
outlook
on
toll-backed
bonds
due
to
fundamental
factors,
including
continued
government
support
for

operators’
generally

power,
and
the
resilience
of

in

on

supported
by
a
continued
recovery
in

travel
to
pre-pandemic
levels
as
well
as
grants
to
airports
through
the
Infrastructure
Investment
and

Act.
On
a
more
structural
basis,
our
investment
thesis
on
large
airports
remained
underpinned
by
their
critical
role
in
the
U.S.
economy,
substantial
debt
service
reserve
accounts,
and
generally
solid
cash
positions
that
were
bolstered
during
the
pandemic
by
federal
relief
funds.
What
is
portfolio
management’s
outlook?
Municipal
bonds,
like
most
areas
of
fixed
income,
struggled
considerably
last
year
in
the
face
of
inflation
pressures
and
aggressive
monetary
tightening
by
the
Fed.
While
this
environment
delivered
disappointing
performance
results
to
bondholders,
it
also
pushed
yields
to
their
highest
levels
in
more
than
a
decade,
offering
investors
more
attractive
income
potential
and
some
cushion
against
a
further
rise
in
rates.
Despite
substantial
macroeconomic
headwinds,
the
market’s
credit
fundamentals
remained
generally
strong
thanks
to
pandemic-era
federal
aid
and
improved
fiscal
management
by
some
of
the
most
challenged
municipal
bond
issuers.
These
factors,
in
our
view,
should
help
buffer
credit
ratings
in
a
recession
if
one
transpires.
Within
that
context,
credit
spreads
unsurprisingly
widened
in
2022
as
economic
growth
slowed,
with
some
sectors
experiencing
more
material
weakness
in
their
credit
profiles.
We
expect
spreads
to
widen
further
if
the
economy
contracts,
potentially
increasing
opportunities
to
identify
mispriced
bonds
through
in-depth
credit
research.
This
backdrop
of
higher
yields,
wider
credit
spreads,
and
generally
solid
fundamentals
should,
in
our
view,
draw
investors
back
to
the
municipal
market
in
2023.
While
we
see
potential
for
industrywide
outflows
to
persist
until
interest
rate
volatility
shows
a
more
sustained
moderation,
we
ultimately
anticipate
constructive
technical
conditions
over
the
near
term,
bolstered
by
expected
coupon
reinvestments
and
below-average
issuance
levels.
In
navigating
this
complex
investment
landscape,
we
are
taking
a
selective
approach
toward

and
maintaining

on
bottom-up

factors.

always,
we
are

What
factors
influenced
the
fund’s
performance?
Over
the
past
12
months,
municipal
bonds
depreciated
against
the
backdrop
of
rising
U.S.
Treasury
yields
and
elevated
volatility.
Municipal
bond
yields
rose
broadly
as
the
Federal
Reserve
(Fed)
hiked
interest
rates
to
curb
inflation
pressures.
Industrywide
outflows
persisted
over
the
period
as
large
swings
in
interest
rates
and
a
tenuous
macroeconomic
backdrop
caused
many
municipal
investors
to
step
back
from
the
market.
Outflows
were
further
reinforced
by
an
uptick
in
redemption
activity
as
well
as
tax
loss
harvesting,
whereby
investors
sold
assets
at
a
loss
to
reduce
capital
gains
taxes.
However,
a
generally
light
supply
of
bonds
held
by
primary
dealers
and
below-average
issuance
levels
helped
mitigate
technical
strains
in
the
tax-free
market.
Alongside
the
broad-based
rise
in
municipal
bond
yields,
the
portfolio's
longer-
than-benchmark
duration
posture
hampered
relative
performance.
Conversely,
modest
underweights
in
the
front
end
of
the
yield
curve
were
beneficial
as
yield
increases
were
most
pronounced
on
shorter-maturity
municipal
bonds.
Asset
allocation
among
revenue
subsectors
also
hindered
relative
performance,
mostly
due
to
an
overweight
to
continuing
care
retirement
communities
(CCRC)
and
nursing/assisted
living
bonds,
as
labor
shortages
resulted
in
less
capacity
in
skilled
nursing
facilities
and,
in
turn,
lower
profit
margins
for
operators.
An
overweight
to
hospital
revenue
bonds
detracted
to
a
lesser
extent.
Credit
selection
was
constructive
in
aggregate,
led
upward
primarily
by
selection
decisions
among
prerefunded
bonds.
Selection
within
the
revenue-
backed
sector
also
contributed.
Within
the
sector,
selection
among
CCRC
and
nursing/assisted
living;
hospital;
and
airport
subsectors
generated
relative
gains.
However,
credit
selection
in
the
public
power
subsector
detracted
due
to
underperformance
in
Puerto
Rico
public
power
bonds.
We
believe
these
securities
will
benefit
from
an
improving
fiscal
backdrop
in
Puerto
Rico
over
the
longer
term.
How
is
the
fund
positioned?
As
the
Fed
continued
to
tighten
monetary
policy,
we
sought
to
focus
new
investments
in
more
defensively
structured
bonds,
particularly
those
with
shorter-duration,
higher-coupon
profiles.
Notable
additions
over
the
period
included
a
state
of
Colorado
lease
financing
issue
offering
an
attractive
6.0%
coupon
rate
as
well
as
higher-coupon
New
York
City
and
state
of
Illinois
general
obligations
(GOs).

portfolio
of
investments
for
a
complete
list
of
holdings
and
the
amount
each
represents
in
the
portfolio.)
In
terms
of
credit
quality,
we
increased
our
allocations
to
higher-quality,
more
liquid
segments
of
the
market
amid
a
weaker
macroeconomic
backdrop
and
persistent
outflows.
As
a
result,
we
built
up
our
allocations
to
bonds
rated
AA
and
A,
while
our
allocation
to
bonds
rated
BBB
decreased.
However,
A
and
BBB
rated
debt
remained
strategic
overweight
allocations
relative
to
the
benchmark.
We
also
maintained
an
overweight
to
the
nonrated
tier,
where
we
believe
that
our
research
strengths
can
enable
us
to
take
advantage
of
credits
that
have
been
mispriced
or
overlooked
by
investors.
A
small
portion
of
the
fund’s
unrated
holdings
consisted
of
short-term,
high-quality
prerefunded
bonds,
which
are
generally
considered
by
investors
to
be
among
the
most
liquid
assets
in
the
municipal
market.
From
a
sector
perspective,
health
care
revenue
bonds,
including
those
from
CCRC
and
nursing/assisted
living
communities
as
well
as
hospitals,
remained
the
fund’s
largest
overweight
allocation,
although
we
allowed
the
fund’s
allocation
to
hospital
revenue
bonds
to
decrease
modestly
over
the
past
year.
Hospitals’
operating
margins
came
under
pressure
during
the
period
as
inflation
accelerated
and
pandemic-related
federal
support
diminished.
While
we
expected
hospitals’
financial
performance
to
remain
challenged,
our
long-term
view
of
nonprofit
hospitals
remained
generally
constructive,
and
we
believed
that
large
hospitals
with
strong
balance
sheets
and
effective
management
teams
would
be
able
to
successfully
navigate
this
environment.
We
also
kept
an
overweight
to
transportation
revenue
bonds.
Our
outlook
on
toll-backed
bonds
remained
positive
due
to
fundamental
factors,
including
steady
government
support
for
managed
lane
projects,
operators’
generally
solid
pricing
power,
and
the
resilience
of

with
shorter
call
provisions
in
an
attempt
to
improve
the
fund’s
ability
to
benefit
from
a
potential
decline
in
bond
yields.
We
added
exposure
to
higher-coupon
revenue
bonds
issued
by
the
Maryland
Economic
Development
Corporation
for
the
Purple
Line
light
rail
project.
We
also
purchased
higher-coupon
Pennsylvania
Economic
Development
bonds
related
to
the
PennDOT
Major
Bridges
Project.
In
terms
of
credit
quality,
we
increased
our
allocations
to
higher-quality,
more
liquid
segments
of
the
market
amid
a
weaker
macroeconomic
backdrop
and
persistent
outflows.
As
a
result,
we
built
up
our
allocations
to
bonds
rated
AAA
and
A
slightly,
while
our
allocation
to
bonds
rated
BBB
decreased.
However,
the
BBB
and
BB
rating
categories
remained
key
overweight
exposures
for
the
fund,
consistent
with
the
fund's
investment
profile.
As
bond
yields
and
compensation
for
credit
risk
rose,
we
continued
to
lean
on
our
fundamental
credit
research
to
identify
attractive
investment
opportunities
across
the
credit
quality
spectrum.
We
also
maintained
an
overweight
to
the
nonrated
tier,
where
we
believe
that
our
research
strengths
can
enable
us
to
take
advantage
of
credits
that
have
been
mispriced
or
overlooked
by
investors.
A
small
portion
of
the
fund’s
unrated
holdings
consisted
of
short-term,
high-quality
prerefunded
bonds,
which
are
generally
considered
by
investors
to
be
among
the
most
liquid
assets
in
the
municipal
market.
From
a
sector
perspective,
health
care
revenue
bonds,
including
those
from
CCRC
and
nursing/assisted
living
communities
as
well
as
hospitals,
remained
the
fund’s
largest
overweight
allocation.
Hospitals’
operating
margins
came
under
pressure
during
the
period
as
inflation
accelerated
and
pandemic-
related
federal
support
diminished.
While
we
expected
hospitals’
financial
performance
to
remain
challenged,
we
believed
that
large
hospitals
with
strong
balance
sheets
and
effective
management
teams
would
be
able
to
successfully
navigate
this
environment.
In
line
with
our
views
on
the
subsector
and
our
analysts'
conviction
ratings,
we
initiated
a
position
in
a
hospital
revenue
bond
from
Orange
County,
Florida.
We
also
kept
an
overweight
to
the
IDR/PCR
subsector.
In
addition
to
offering
above-average
yields,
we
continued
to
believe
this
area
of
the
market
provides
diversification
benefits
for
municipal
investors
due
to
its
corporate-backed
nature.
Conversely,
state
and
local
GO
bonds
remained
underweight
positions
for
the
fund,
reflecting
our
prior-
decade
aversion
to
the
sector
stemming
from
state
and
local
governments’
significant
unfunded
pension
liabilities.
What
is
portfolio
management’s
outlook?
Municipal
bonds,
like
most
areas
of
fixed
income,
struggled
considerably
last
year
in
the
face
of
inflation
pressures
and
aggressive
monetary
tightening
by
the
Fed.
While
this
environment
delivered
disappointing
performance
results
to
bondholders,
it
also
pushed
yields
to
their
highest
levels
in
more
than
a
decade,
offering
investors
more
attractive
income
potential
and
some
cushion
against
a
further
rise
in
rates.

CREDIT
QUALITY
DIVERSIFICATION
Tax-Free
High
Yield
Fund
Despite
substantial
macroeconomic
headwinds,
the
market’s
credit
fundamentals
remained
generally
strong
thanks
to
pandemic-era
federal
aid
and
improved
fiscal
management
by
some
of
the
most
challenged
municipal
bond
issuers.
These
factors,
in
our
view,
should
help
buffer
credit
ratings
in
a
recession
if
one
transpires.
Within
that
context,
credit
spreads
unsurprisingly
widened
in
2022
as
economic
growth
slowed,
with
some
sectors
experiencing
more
material
weakness
in
their
credit
profiles.
We
expect
spreads
to
widen
further
if
the
economy
contracts,
potentially
increasing
opportunities
to
identify
mispriced
bonds
through
in-depth
credit
research.
This
backdrop
of
higher
yields,
wider
credit
spreads,
and
generally
solid
fundamentals
should,
in
our
view,
draw
investors
back
to
the
municipal
market
in
2023.
While
we
see
potential
for
industrywide
outflows
to
persist
until
interest
rate
volatility
shows
a
more
sustained
moderation,
we
ultimately
anticipate
constructive
technical
conditions
over
the
near
term,
bolstered
by
expected
coupon
reinvestments
and
below-average
issuance
levels.
In
navigating
this
complex
investment
landscape,
we
are
taking
a
selective
approach
toward
bond
structures
and
maintaining
an
emphasis
on
bottom-up
credit
factors.
As
always,
we
are
striving
to
stay
risk
aware
and
disciplined
in
our
investment
process,
which
we
believe
will
serve
our
clients
well
over
time.

FUND
COMMENTARY
How
did
the
fund
perform
in
the
past 12
months?
The
Intermediate
Tax-Free
High
Yield
Fund
returned
-5.69%
for
the
12
months
ended
February
28,
2023.
The
fund
outperformed
the
average
return
of
its
Lipper
peer
group,
which
encompasses
funds
of
various
maturity
and
duration
constraints,
but
underperformed
its
Bloomberg
index
benchmark.
(Results
for
Advisor
and
I
Class
shares
varied,
reflecting
their
different
fee
structures.
Past
performance
cannot
guarantee
future
results.
)
What
factors
influenced
the
fund’s
performance?
Over
the
past
12
months,
municipal
bonds
depreciated
against
the
backdrop
of
rising
U.S.
Treasury
yields
and
elevated
volatility.
Municipal
bond
yields
rose
broadly
as
the
Federal
Reserve
(Fed)
hiked
interest
rates
to
curb
inflation
pressures.
Industrywide
outflows
persisted
over
the
period
as
large
swings
in
interest
rates
and
a
tenuous
macroeconomic
backdrop
caused
many
municipal
investors
to
step
back
from
the
market.
Outflows
were
further
reinforced
by
an
uptick
in
redemption
activity
as
well
as
tax
loss
harvesting,
whereby
investors
sold
assets
at
a
loss
to
reduce
capital
gains
taxes.
However,
a
generally
light
supply
of
bonds
held
by
primary
dealers
and
below-average
issuance
levels
helped
mitigate
technical
strains
in
the
tax-free
market.
Credit
selection
detracted
notably
in
aggregate,
dragged
lower
primarily
by
selection
decisions
in
the
revenue-backed
sector.
Within
the
sector,
selection
in
the
public
power
subsector
was
a
prominent
detractor,
followed
by
credit
selection
in
the
health
care
and
dedicated
tax
subsectors.
In
the
public
power
subsector,
holding
debt
issued
by
the
Puerto
Rico
Electric
Power
Authority
(PREPA)
weighed
on
results.
Despite
struggling
over
the
past
12
months,
we
maintain
our
thesis
on
PREPA
as
a
large
issuer
in
the
high
yield
municipal
space
that
can
benefit
from
being
the
sole
provider
of
electricity
in
Puerto
Rico,
the
large
amount
of
federal
aid
coming
to
the
commonwealth,
and
increased
oversight
from
the
Federal
government.
On
the
positive
side,
security
selection
within
the
industrial
development
revenue/pollution
control
revenue
(IDR/
PCR)
subsector
was
additive
for
the
period.
(Please
refer
to
the
portfolio
of
investments
for
a
complete
list
of
holdings
and
the
amount
each
represents
in
the
portfolio.)
Asset
allocation
among
revenue
subsectors
also
hindered
relative
performance,
mostly
due
to
an
overweight
to
continuing
care
retirement
communities
(CCRC)
and
nursing/assisted
living
bonds.
An
overweight
to
the
IDR/PCR
subsector
also
detracted
to
a
lesser
extent.
However,
overweights
in
the
student
housing
and
tobacco-related
subsectors
moderately
contributed.

Alongside
the
broad-based
rise
in
municipal
bond
yields,
the
portfolio's
longer-
than-benchmark
duration
posture
hampered
relative
performance.
That
said,
positioning
across
some
key
rates
was
beneficial
and
helped
counter
some
of
the
negative
relative
performance
brought
on
by
the
duration
positioning.
Specifically,
an
underweight
in
the
front
end
of
the
yield
curve
helped
as
yields
on
shorter-maturity
bonds
rose
most
prominently.
How
is
the
fund
positioned?
As
the
Fed
continued
to
tighten
monetary
policy,
the
fund
entered
the
period
with
a
focus
on
defensively
structured
bonds,
particularly
those
with
shorter-duration,
higher-
coupon
profiles.
As
the
year
progressed,
the
fund’s
duration
extended,
and
we
migrated
away
from
bonds
with
shorter
call
provisions
to
help
improve
the
fund’s
ability
to
benefit
from
a
potential
decline
in
bond
yields.
During
the
period,
we
added
exposure
to
higher-
coupon
revenue
bonds
issued
by
the
Maryland
Economic
Development
Corporation
for
the
Purple
Line
light
rail
project.
We
also
purchased
higher-coupon
Pennsylvania
Economic
Development
bonds
related
to
the
PennDOT
Major
Bridges
Project.
From
a
sector
perspective,
health
care
revenue
bonds,
including
those
from
CCRC
and
nursing/assisted
living
communities
as
well
as
hospitals,
remained
the
fund’s
largest
overweight
allocation.
Hospitals’
operating
margins
came
under
pressure
during
the
period
as
inflation
accelerated
and
pandemic-related
federal
support
diminished.
We
expect
hospitals’
financial
performance
to
remain
challenged
in
the
year
ahead,
driven
by
likely
softness
in
patient
volumes,
continued
cost
pressures
on
labor
and
medical
supplies,
and
lagging
reimbursement
rates,
among
other
factors.
However,
we
believe
that
large
hospitals
with
strong
balance
sheets
and
effective
management
teams
should
be
able
to
successfully
navigate
this
environment.

by
investing
in
the

seeks
to
preserve
the
value
of
your
investment
at
$1.00

of
your
shares
or
may
temporarily
suspend
your
ability
to
sell
shares
if
the
Fund’s
liquidity
falls
below
required
minimums
because
of
market
conditions
or
other
factors.
An

RISKS
OF
INVESTING
IN
FIXED

SECURITIES
Bonds
are
subject
to
interest
rate
risk
(the
decline
in
bond
prices
that
usually
accompanies
a
rise

and
credit
risk
(the
chance
that
any

its
credit
rating
downgraded
or
that
a

will
default
by
failing
to
make
timely
payments
of
interest
or
principal),
potentially
reducing
the
fund’s
income
level
and
share
price.
Investments
in
high

This
table
shows
how
the
funds
would
have
performed
each
year
if
their
actual
(or
cumulative)
returns
for
the
periods
shown
had
been
earned
at
a
constant
rate.
Average
annual
total
return
figures
include
changes
in
principal
value,
reinvested
dividends,
and
capital
gain
distributions.
Returns
do
not
reflect
taxes
that
the
shareholder
may
pay
on
fund
distributions
or
the
redemption
of
fund
shares.
Past
performance
cannot
guarantee
future
results.
When
assessing
performance,
investors
should
consider
both
short-
and
long-term
returns.

EXPENSE
EXAMPLE
As
a
mutual
fund
shareholder,
you
may
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
such
as
redemption
fees
or
sales
loads,
and
(2)
ongoing
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
and
other
fund
expenses.
The
following
example
is
intended
to
help
you
understand
your
ongoing
costs
(in
dollars)
of
investing
in
the
fund
and
to
compare
these
costs
with
the
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
other
mutual
funds.
The
example
is
based
on
an
investment
of
$1,000
invested
at
the
beginning
of
the
most
recent
six-month
period
and
held
for
the
entire
period.
Please
note
that
the
Intermediate
Tax-Free
High
Yield
Fund,
Tax-Free
High
Yield
Fund,
Tax-Free
Income
Fund,
and
Tax-Free
Short-Intermediate
Fund have
three
share
classes:
The
original
share
class
(Investor
Class)
charges
no
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fee,
the
Advisor
Class
shares
are
offered
only
through
unaffiliated
brokers
and
other
financial
intermediaries
and
charge
a
0.25%
12b-1
fee,
and
the
I
Class
shares
are
available
to
institutionally
oriented
clients
and
impose
no
12b-1
or
administrative
fee
payment.
The
Tax-Exempt
Money
Fund
has
two
share
classes:
The
original
share
class
(Investor

charges
no
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fee,
and
the
I
Class
shares
are
also
available
to
institutionally
oriented
clients
and
impose

The
expense
ratios
shown
are
as
of
the
funds’
most
recent
prospectus.
These
numbers
may
vary
from
the
expense
ratios
shown
elsewhere
in
this
report
because
they
are
based
on
a
different
time
period
and,
if
applicable,
include
acquired
fund
fees
and
expenses
but
do
not
include
fee
or
expense
waivers.
Actual
Expenses
The
first
line
of
the
following
table
(Actual)
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses.
You
may
use
the
information
on
this
line,
together
with
your
account
balance,
to
estimate
the
expenses
that
you
paid
over
the
period.
Simply
divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(for
example,
an
$8,600
account
value
divided
by
$1,000
=
8.6),
then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
on
the
first
line
under
the
heading
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
to
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
on
your
account
during
this
period.
Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
Purposes
The
information
on
the
second
line
of
the
table
(Hypothetical)
is
based
on
hypothetical
account
values
and
expenses
derived
from
the
fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
5%
per
year
rate
of
return
before
expenses
(not
the
fund’s
actual
return).
You
may
compare
the
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
fund
with
other
funds
by
contrasting
this
5%
hypothetical
example
and
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
the
other
funds.
The
hypothetical
account
values
and
expenses
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period.
Note:
T.
Rowe
Price
charges
an
annual
account
service
fee
of
$20,
generally
for
accounts
with
less
than
$10,000.
The
fee
is
waived
for
any
investor
whose
T.
Rowe
Price
mutual
fund
accounts
total
$50,000
or
more;
accounts
electing
to
receive
electronic
delivery
of
account
statements,
transaction
confirmations,
prospectuses,
and
shareholder
reports;
or
accounts
of
an
investor
who
is
a
T.
Rowe
Price
Personal
Services
or
Enhanced
Personal
Services
client
(enrollment
in
these
programs
generally
requires
T.
Rowe
Price
assets
of
at
least
$250,000).
This
fee
is
not
included
in
the
accompanying
table.
If
you
are
subject
to
the
fee,
keep
it
in
mind
when
you
are
estimating
the
ongoing
expenses
of
investing
in
the
fund
and
when
comparing
the
expenses
of
this
fund
with
other
funds.
You
should
also
be
aware
that
the
expenses
shown
in
the
table
highlight
only
your
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transaction
costs,
such
as
redemption
fees
or
sales
loads.
Therefore,
the
second
line
of
the
table
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only
and
will
not
help
you
determine
the
relative
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
To
the
extent
a
fund
charges
transaction
costs,
however,
the
total
cost
of
owning
that
fund
is
higher.

The
funds’
performance
information
represents
only
past
performance
and
is
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
future
results.
Current
performance
may
be
lower
or
higher
than
the
performance
data
cited.
Share
price,
principal
value,
and
return
will
vary,
and
you
may
have
a
gain
or
loss
when
you
sell
your
shares.
For
the
most
recent
month-end
performance,
please
visit
our
website
(troweprice.com)
or
contact
a
T.
Rowe
Price
representative
at
1-800-225-5132
or,

I
Class
shares,

This
table
provides
returns
net
of
expenses
through
the
most
recent
calendar
quarter-end
rather
than
through
the
end
of
the
funds’
fiscal
period. It
shows
how
the
funds
would
have
performed
each
year
if
their
actual
(or
cumulative)
returns
for
the
periods
shown
had
been
earned
at
a
constant
rate.
Average
annual
total
return
figures
include
changes
in
principal
value,
reinvested
dividends,
and
capital
gain
distributions.
Returns
do
not
reflect
taxes
that
the
shareholder
may
pay
on
fund
distributions
or
the
redemption
of
fund
shares.
When
assessing
performance,
investors
should
consider
both
short-
and
long-term
returns.
A
money
fund’s
yield
more
closely
represents
its
current
earnings
than
does
the
total
return.
a
In
an
effort
to
maintain
a
zero
or
positive
net
yield
for
the
fund,
T.
Rowe
Price
has
voluntarily
waived
all
or
a
portion
of
the
management
fee
it
is
entitled
to
receive
from
the
fund.
This
voluntary
waiver
is
in
addition
to
any
contractual
expense
ratio
limitation
in
effect
for
the
fund
and
may
be
amended
or
terminated
at
any
time
without
prior
notice.
A
fee
waiver
has
the
effect
of
increasing
the
fund’s
net
yield;
without
it,
the
fund’s
7-day
yield
would
have
been
lower.
Please
see
the
prospectus
for
more
details.

The
fund
operates
under
contractual
expense
limitations
that
expire
on
June
30,
2024.
An
expense
limitation
has
the
effect
of
increasing

TO
FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
T.

Price
Tax-Free
Income
Fund,
Inc.
(the
fund) is
registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(the
1940
Act)
as a
diversified,
open-end
management
investment
company. The
fund
seeks
to
provide
a
high
level
of
income
exempt
from
federal
income
taxes
by
investing
primarily
in
long-term
investment-grade
municipal
securities.
The
fund
has
three classes
of
shares:
the
Tax-Free
Income
Fund
(Investor
Class),
the
Tax-Free
Income
Fund–Advisor
Class
(Advisor
Class)
and
the
Tax-Free
Income
Fund–I
Class
(I
Class).
Advisor
Class
shares
are
sold
only
through
various
brokers
and
other
financial
intermediaries.
I
Class
shares
require
a
$500,000
initial
investment
minimum,
although
the
minimum
generally
is
waived
or
reduced
for
financial
intermediaries,
eligible
retirement
plans,
and
certain
other
accounts.
Prior
to
November
15,
2021,
the
initial
investment
minimum
was
$1
million
and
was
generally
waived
for
financial
intermediaries,
eligible
retirement
plans,
and
other
certain
accounts.
As
a
result
of
the
reduction
in
the
I
Class
minimum,
certain
assets
transferred
from
the
Investor
Class
to
the
I
Class.
This
transfer
of
shares
from
Investor
Class
to
I
Class
is
reflected
in
the
Statement
of
Changes
in
Net
Assets
within
the
Capital
shares
transactions
as
Shares
redeemed
and
Shares
sold,
respectively.
The
Advisor
Class
operates
under
a
Board-approved
Rule
12b-1
plan
pursuant
to
which
the
class
compensates
financial
intermediaries
for
distribution,
shareholder
servicing,
and/
or
certain
administrative
services;
the
Investor
and
I
Classes
do
not
pay
Rule
12b-1
fees. Each
class
has
exclusive
voting
rights
on
matters
related
solely
to
that
class;
separate
voting
rights
on
matters
that
relate
to
all
classes;
and,
in
all
other
respects,
the
same
rights
and
obligations
as
the
other
classes.

VALUATION
Fair
Value
The
fund’s
financial
instruments
are
valued
at
the
close
of
the
NYSE
and
are
reported
at
fair
value,
which
GAAP
defines
as
the
price
that
would
be
received
to
sell
an
asset
or
paid
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
at
the
measurement
date. The fund’s
Board
of
Directors
(the
Board)
has
designated
T.
Rowe
Price
Associates,
Inc.
as
the
fund’s
valuation
designee
(Valuation
Designee).
Subject
to
oversight
by
the
Board,
the
Valuation
Designee
performs
the
following
functions
in
performing
fair
value
determinations:
assesses
and
manages
valuation
risks;
establishes
and
applies
fair
value
methodologies;
tests
fair
value
methodologies;
and
evaluates
pricing
vendors
and
pricing
agents.
The
duties
and
responsibilities
of
the
Valuation
Designee
are
performed
by
its
Valuation
Committee. The
Valuation
Designee provides
periodic
reporting
to
the
Board
on
valuation
matters.
Various
valuation
techniques
and
inputs
are
used
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments.
GAAP
establishes
the
following
fair
value
hierarchy
that
categorizes
the
inputs
used
to
measure
fair
value:
Level
1
–
quoted
prices
(unadjusted)
in
active
markets
for
identical
financial
instruments
that
the
fund
can
access
at
the
reporting
date
Level
2
–
inputs
other
than
Level
1
quoted
prices
that
are
observable,
either
directly
or
indirectly
(including,
but
not
limited
to,
quoted
prices
for
similar
financial
instruments
in
active
markets,
quoted
prices
for
identical
or
similar
financial
instruments
in
inactive
markets,
interest
rates
and
yield
curves,
implied
volatilities,
and
credit
spreads)
Level
3
–
unobservable
inputs
(including
the Valuation
Designee’s assumptions
in
determining
fair
value)
Observable
inputs
are
developed
using
market
data,
such
as
publicly
available
information
about
actual
events
or
transactions,
and
reflect
the
assumptions
that
market
participants
would
use
to
price
the
financial
instrument.
Unobservable
inputs
are
those
for
which
market
data
are
not
available
and
are
developed
using
the
best
information
available
about
the
assumptions
that
market
participants
would
use
to
price
the
financial
instrument.
GAAP
requires
valuation
techniques
to
maximize
the
use
of
relevant
T.
ROWE
PRICE
Tax-Free
Income
Fund
observable
inputs
and
minimize
the
use
of
unobservable
inputs.
When
multiple
inputs
are
used
to
derive
fair
value,
the
financial
instrument
is
assigned
to
the
level
within
the
fair
value
hierarchy
based
on
the
lowest-level
input
that
is
significant
to
the
fair
value
of
the
financial
instrument.
Input
levels
are
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risk
or
liquidity
associated
with
financial
instruments
at
that
level
but
rather
the
degree
of
judgment
used
in
determining
those
values.
Valuation
Techniques
Debt
securities
generally
are
traded
in
the over-the-counter
(OTC)
market
and
are
valued
at
prices
furnished
by
independent
pricing
services
or
by
broker
dealers
who
make
markets
in
such
securities.
When
valuing
securities,
the
independent
pricing
services
consider
factors
such
as,
but
not
limited
to,
the
yield
or
price
of
bonds
of
comparable
quality,
coupon,
maturity,
and
type,
as
well
as
prices
quoted
by
dealers
who
make
markets
in
such
securities.
Assets
and
liabilities
other
than
financial
instruments,
including
short-term
receivables
and
payables,
are
carried
at
cost,
or
estimated
realizable
value,
if
less,
which
approximates
fair
value.
Investments
for
which
market
quotations are
not
readily
available
or
deemed
unreliable
are
valued
at
fair
value
as
determined
in
good
faith
by
the
Valuation
Designee.
The
Valuation
Designee
has
adopted
methodologies
for
determining
the
fair
value
of
investments
for
which
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available
or
deemed
unreliable,
including
the
use
of
other
pricing
sources.
Factors
used
in
determining
fair
value
vary
by
type
of
investment
and
may
include
market
or
investment
specific
considerations.
The
Valuation
Designee typically
will
afford
greatest
weight
to
actual
prices
in
arm’s
length
transactions,
to
the
extent
they
represent
orderly
transactions
between
market
participants,
transaction
information
can
be
reliably
obtained,
and
prices
are
deemed
representative
of
fair
value.
However,
the
Valuation
Designee may
also
consider
other
valuation
methods
such
as
market-based
valuation
multiples;
a
discount
or
premium
from
market
value
of
a
similar,
freely
traded
security
of
the
same
issuer;
discounted
cash
flows;
yield
to
maturity;
or
some
combination.
Fair
value
determinations
are
reviewed
on
a
regular
basis.
Because
any
fair
value
determination
involves
a
significant
amount
of
judgment,
there
is
a
degree
of
subjectivity
inherent
in
such
pricing
decisions. Fair
value
prices
determined
by
the
Valuation
Designee could
differ
from
those
of
other
market
participants,
and
it
is
possible
that
the
fair
value
determined
for
a
security
may
be
materially
different
from
the
value
that
could
be
realized
upon
the
sale
of
that
security.

OTHER
INVESTMENT
TRANSACTIONS
Consistent
with
its
investment
objective,
the
fund
engages
in
the
following
practices
to
manage
exposure
to
certain
risks
and/or
to
enhance
performance.
The
investment
objective,
policies,
program,
and
risk
factors
of
the
fund
are
described
more
fully
in
the
fund’s
prospectus
and
Statement
of
Additional
Information.
Restricted
Securities
The
fund
invests
in
securities
that
are
subject
to
legal
or
contractual
restrictions
on
resale.
Prompt
sale
of
such
securities
at
an
acceptable
price
may
be
difficult
and
may
involve
substantial
delays
and
additional
costs.
Mortgage-Backed
Securities
The
fund
invests
in
mortgage-backed
securities
(MBS
or
pass-through
certificates)
that
represent
an
interest
in
a
pool
of
specific
underlying
mortgage
loans
and
entitle
the
fund
to
the
periodic
payments
of
principal
and
interest
from
those
mortgages.
MBS
may
be
issued
by
government
agencies
or
corporations,
or
private
issuers.
Most
MBS
issued
by
government
agencies
are
guaranteed;
however,
the
degree
of
protection
differs
based
on
the
issuer.
MBS are
sensitive
to
changes
in
economic
conditions
that
affect
the
rate
of
prepayments
and
defaults
on
the
underlying
mortgages;
accordingly,
the
value,
income,
and
related
cash
flows
from
MBS
may
be
more
volatile
than
other
debt
instruments.
When-Issued
Securities
The fund
enters
into
when-issued
purchase
or
sale
commitments,
pursuant
to
which
it
agrees
to
purchase
or
sell,
respectively,
an
authorized
but
not
yet
issued
security
for
a
fixed
unit
price,
with
payment
and
delivery
not
due
until
issuance
of
the
security
on
a
scheduled
future
date.
When-issued

LIBOR
Transition
The fund
may
invest
in
instruments
that
are
tied
to
reference
rates,
including
LIBOR.
Over
the
course
of
the
last
several
years,
global
regulators
have
indicated
an
intent
to
phase
out
the
use
of
LIBOR
and
similar
interbank
offered
rates
(IBOR).
While
publication
for
most
LIBOR
currencies
and
lesser-used
USD
LIBOR
settings
ceased
immediately
after
December
31,
2021,
remaining
USD
LIBOR
settings
will
continue
to
be
published
until
June
30,
2023.
There
remains
uncertainty
regarding
the
future
utilization
of
LIBOR
and
the
nature
of
any
replacement
rate.
Any
potential
effects
of
the
transition
away
from
LIBOR
on
the fund,
or
on
certain
instruments
in
which
the fund
invests,
cannot
yet
be
determined.
The
transition
process
may
result
in,
among
other
things,
an

FEDERAL
INCOME
TAXES
Generally,
no
provision
for
federal
income
taxes
is
required
since
the
fund
intends
to
continue
to
qualify
as
a
regulated
investment
company
under
Subchapter
M
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
and
distribute
to
shareholders
all
of
its
income
and
gains.
Distributions
determined
in
accordance
with
federal
income
tax
regulations
may
differ
in
amount
or
character
from
net
investment
income
and
realized
gains
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
The fund
files
U.S.
federal,
state,
and
local
tax
returns
as
required. The
fund’s
tax
returns
are
subject
to
examination
by
the
relevant
tax
authorities
until
expiration
of
the
applicable
statute
of
limitations,
which
is
generally
three
years
after
the
filing
of
the
tax
return
but
which
can
be
extended
to
six
years
in
certain
circumstances.
Tax
returns
for
open
years
have
incorporated
no
uncertain
tax
positions
that
require
a
provision
for
income
taxes.

The

these

will
reverse
in

The
temporary
differences
relate
primarily
to
the
deferral
of
losses
from
wash

and
the
recognition
of
market
discount
and
premium
amortization.
The

RELATED
PARTY
TRANSACTIONS
The

is
managed
by
T.
Rowe
Price
Associates,
Inc.
(Price
Associates),
a
wholly
owned
subsidiary
of
T.
Rowe
Price
Group,
Inc.
(Price
Group).
The
investment
management
agreement
between
the
fund
and
Price
Associates
provides
for
an
annual
investment
management
fee,
which
is
computed
daily
and
paid
monthly. The
fee
consists
of
an
individual
fund
fee,
equal
to
0.15%
of
the
fund’s
average
daily
net
assets,
and
a
group
fee.
The
group
fee
rate
is
calculated
based
on
the
combined
net
assets
of
certain
mutual
funds
sponsored
by
Price
Associates
(the
group)
applied
to
a
graduated
fee
schedule,
with
rates
ranging
from
0.48%
for
the
first
$1
billion
of
assets
to
0.260%
for
assets
in
excess
of
$845
billion.
The
fund’s
group
fee
is
determined
by
applying
the
group
fee
rate
to
the
fund’s
average
daily
net
assets. At
February
28,
2023,
the
effective
annual
group
fee
rate
was
0.29%.
The Investor Class
is
subject
to
a
contractual
expense
limitation
through
the
expense
limitation
date
indicated
in
the
table
below.
During
the
limitation
period,
Price

is
required
to
waive
its
management
fee
or
pay
any
expenses
(excluding
interest;
expenses
related
to
borrowings,
taxes,
and
brokerage;
non-recurring,
extraordinary expenses;
and
acquired
fund
fees
and

would
otherwise
cause
the
class’s
ratio
of
annualized
total
expenses
to
average
net
assets
(net
expense
ratio)
to
exceed
its
expense
limitation.
The
class
is
required
to
repay
Price
Associates
for
expenses
previously
waived/paid
to
the
extent
the
class’s
net
assets
grow
or

decline
sufficiently

the
expense
limitation
in

at
the
time
such
amounts
were
waived;
or
(2)
the

current
expense
limitation.
However,
no
repayment
will
be
made
more
than
three
years
after
the
date
of
a
payment
or

The
I
Class
is
also
subject

expense
limitation
(I

We
conducted
our
audits
of
these

statements
in
accordance
with
the

Those

require
that
we
plan

to
obtain
reasonable

about
whether
the
financial
statements
are
free
of
material
misstatement,

and
performing

Such
procedures
included
examining,
on

Our

Item 1. (b) Notice pursuant to Rule 30e-3.
Not applicable.
Item 2. Code of Ethics.
The registrant has adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2 of Form N-CSR, applicable to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. A copy of this code of ethics is filed as an exhibit to this Form N-CSR. No substantive amendments were approved or waivers were granted to this code of ethics during the period covered by this report.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The registrant’s Board of Directors has determined that Ms. Teresa Bryce Bazemore qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. Ms. Bazemore is considered independent for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
(a) – (d) Aggregate fees billed for the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered to, or on behalf of, the registrant by the registrant’s principal accountant were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | 2023 | | | 2022 | |
| Audit Fees | | $ | 30,755 | | | $ | 30,187 | |
| Audit-Related Fees | | | - | | | | - | |
| Tax Fees | | | - | | | | 3,448 | |
| All Other Fees | | | - | | | | - | |
Audit fees include amounts related to the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements and services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings. Audit-related fees include amounts reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements and specifically include the issuance of a report on internal controls and, if applicable, agreed-upon procedures related to fund acquisitions. Tax fees include amounts related to services for tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice. The nature of these services specifically includes the review of distribution calculations and the preparation of Federal, state, and excise tax returns. All other fees include the registrant’s pro-rata share of amounts for agreed-upon procedures in conjunction with service contract approvals by the registrant’s Board of Directors/Trustees.
(e)(1) The registrant’s audit committee has adopted a policy whereby audit and non-audit services performed by the registrant’s principal accountant for the registrant, its investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant require pre-approval in advance at regularly scheduled audit committee meetings. If such a service is required between regularly scheduled audit committee meetings, pre-approval may be authorized by one audit committee member with ratification at the next scheduled audit committee meeting. Waiver of pre-approval for audit or non-audit services requiring fees of a de minimis amount is not permitted.
(2) No services included in (b) – (d) above were approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) Less than 50 percent of the hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.
(g) The aggregate fees billed for the most recent fiscal year and the preceding fiscal year by the registrant’s principal accountant for non-audit services rendered to the registrant, its investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant were $1,454,000 and $3,749,000, respectively.
(h) All non-audit services rendered in (g) above were pre-approved by the registrant’s audit committee. Accordingly, these services were considered by the registrant’s audit committee in maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Investments.
(a) Not applicable. The complete schedule of investments is included in Item 1 of this Form N-CSR.
(b) Not applicable.
Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.
Not applicable.
Item 9. Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers.
Not applicable.
Item 10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
There has been no change to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the registrant’s board of directors.
Item 11. Controls and Procedures.
(a) The registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days of this filing and have concluded that the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of that date, in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the registrant in this Form N-CSR was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported timely.
(b) The registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are aware of no change in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
Item 12. Disclosure of Securities Lending Activities for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.
Not applicable.
