Dear Shareholder:
A special meeting of your Citigroup Fund will be held at Citigroup Center, 153 East 53rd Street, 14th Floor, New York, New York 10022, on October [11], 2005, at a.m. (New York time), to vote on the proposals listed in the enclosed joint proxy statement.
Citigroup Inc., the parent company of the Funds’ investment advisers, Citi Fund Management Inc., Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc, Smith Barney Fund Management LLC and The Travelers Investment Management Company, has entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of its worldwide asset management business, including the Funds’ investment advisers, to Legg Mason, Inc. The sale will cause the Funds’ current investment advisory or management agreements to terminate. Certain Funds also have a subadvisory agreement which will terminate upon the consummation of the sale. In order for the management of each Fund to continue uninterrupted after the sale, we are asking the shareholders of each Fund to approve a new management agreement for the Fund and, in certain cases, a new subadvisory agreement. Each Fund’s total fees for advisory and administrative services will remain the same under its new management agreement and, where applicable, subadvisory agreement.
If you are a shareholder of an open-end Fund, you will also be asked to elect Directors/Trustees of your Fund.
The Directors/Trustees responsible for your Fund recommend that you vote FOR each of these proposals.
You are invited to attend the meeting in person. If you do not expect to attend the meeting, we encourage you to vote by completing, signing and dating each enclosed proxy card and promptly returning it in the accompanying postage-paid return envelope OR by following the enclosed instructions to vote by telephone or over the Internet. Your vote on these matters is important.
If you have any questions about the proposals to be voted on, please call at .
Sincerely,
R. Jay Gerken
Chairman

FOR FUND SHAREHOLDERS
While we encourage you to read the full text of the enclosed Joint Proxy Statement, for your convenience, we have provided a brief overview of the matters to be voted on.
Questions and Answers
Q. | What am I being asked to vote “FOR” in this proxy? |
A. | You are being asked to vote in favor of proposals to: |
1. | Approve a new management agreement for your Fund with your Fund’s current investment adviser. This new management agreement will take effect when your Fund’s current investment adviser becomes a subsidiary of Legg Mason, Inc. |
2. | Approve a new subadvisory agreement, in relevant cases, with your Fund’s current subadviser. This new subadvisory agreement will take effect when your Fund’s current investment adviser becomes a subsidiary of Legg Mason, Inc. |
3. | Elect a Board of Directors/Trustees for each of the open-end Funds. |
Q. | Why am I being asked to vote on a new management agreement and subadvisory agreement, if applicable? |
A. | Citigroup Inc. is the parent company of the Funds’ investment advisers and certain of the Funds’ subadvisers. Citigroup has entered into an agreement to sell its asset management business, Citigroup Asset Management, which includes the Funds’ investment advisers and these subadvisers, to Legg Mason, Inc. The sale will cause the Funds’ current management or advisory agreements to terminate, as well as for the relevant Funds the current subadvisory agreements. The sale will not be completed unless a number of conditions are met. One of these conditions is that shareholders of a certain number of the Funds managed by Citigroup affiliates must approve the proposed new agreements. Your Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees has approved, and recommends that you approve, the new agreements. |
Q. | What prompted the sale of Citigroup Asset Management to Legg Mason? |
A. | After careful review, Citigroup determined that its emphasis should continue to be on expanding access to investment products through various distribution channels rather than focusing on managing proprietary and third party investment products. |
Q. | How will the sale of Citigroup Asset Management potentially benefit me? |
A. | The combination of Legg Mason and Citigroup Asset Management will create one of the world’s largest asset management organizations representing over $800 billion in assets under management. Following the transaction, Citigroup Asset Management will still have the opportunity to continue its strong working partnership with the Citigroup businesses and will also have new opportunities to grow. |
Q. | How does the proposed new management agreement differ from my Fund’s current agreement? |
A. | The current management agreement for certain Funds provides for investment management services only, with administrative services being provided pursuant to a separate administration agreement. For the three Funds advised by Travelers Investment Management Company, administrative services will continue to be provided under a separate administration agreement. For all of the other Funds, the proposed new management agreement addresses the adviser’s provision of both investment management and administrative services to your Fund. The Joint Proxy Statement describes other differences between your Fund’s current management agreement and the proposed new management agreement. |
Q. | How does the proposed new subadvisory agreement differ from my Fund’s current agreement? |
A. | With respect to the subadvisers that are affiliated with Citigroup, a single, uniform form of new subadvisory agreement is being proposed. With respect to the subadvisers that are not affiliated with Citigroup, the proposed new subadvisory agreement is substantially identical to your current subadvisory agreement. |
i
Q. | Will my Fund’s total advisory and administrative services fees increase? |
A. | No. The total fees for advisory and administrative services will remain the same. |
Q. | Will there be any adviser or subadviser changes? |
A. | Immediately following the sale of Citigroup Asset Management to Legg Mason, the adviser and, in relevant cases, the subadviser that currently manages your Fund will continue to manage the Fund. However, Legg Mason has advised the Fund Board members that it intends to combine the fixed income investment operations of Citigroup Asset Management with those of Legg Mason’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Western Asset Management Company, and its affiliates (“Western Asset”). Western Asset focuses on managing fixed income assets on behalf of institutional separate accounts, retirement plans and other institutional investors, including mutual funds. As of June 30, 2005, Western Asset managed approximately $230 billion in assets on behalf of its clients. |
Legg Mason has advised the Fund Board members that, after the closing of the sale, Legg Mason will take steps to combine the investment management operations of Western Asset with the fixed income operations of the advisers and, in relevant cases, the Citigroup Asset Management subadvisers to the Funds. Among other things, this may involve Western Asset, the advisers and, in relevant cases, the Citigroup Asset Management subadvisers to the Funds sharing common systems and procedures, employees (including portfolio managers), investment and trading platforms, and other resources. Legg Mason may also wish to combine other Citigroup Asset Management operations with those of other Legg Mason subsidiaries.
It is expected that these combination processes will result in changes to portfolio managers or portfolio management teams for a number of the Funds, subject to Board consent and appropriate notice to shareholders, and that, in other cases, the current portfolio managers or portfolio management teams will remain in place. Legg Mason has also advised the Fund Board members that, in the future, it may recommend that Western Asset or other Legg Mason subsidiaries be appointed as the adviser or subadviser to some or all of the Funds, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.
Q. | How do the Board members suggest I vote in connection with the new management agreement and, if applicable, new subadvisory agreement? |
A. | After careful consideration, the Board of your Fund recommends that you vote FOR the approval of the new management agreement and, if applicable, new subadvisory agreement. |
Q. | How do the Board members suggest that I vote in connection with the election of Board members to the open-end funds? |
A. | The Board of each open-end Fund also recommends that you vote FOR the nominees for your Fund’s Board. |
Q. | Will my vote make a difference? |
A. | Your vote is needed to ensure that the proposals can be acted upon. We encourage all shareholders to participate in the governance of their Fund. |
Q. | Are the Funds paying for preparation, printing and mailing of this proxy? |
A. | No, all costs will be borne by Citigroup and Legg Mason. |
Q. | Who do I call if I have questions? |
A. | If you need any assistance, or have any questions regarding the proposals or how to vote your shares, please call at . |
Q. | How do I vote my shares? |
A. | You can vote your shares by attending the meeting, or if you do not expect to attend, by completing and signing the enclosed proxy card, and mailing it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. Alternatively, you may vote by telephone by calling the toll-free number on the proxy card or by computer by going to the Internet address provided on the proxy card and following the instructions, using your proxy card as a guide. |
It is important that you vote promptly.

VOTE REQUIRED AND MANNER OF VOTING PROXIES
A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at each Meeting. The quorum requirement for each Fund is set forth inAppendix B. For any Fund that is identified inAppendix A as being organized as a series of a Corporation, a quorum of the shareholders of the Corporation as a whole is required in order to take any action at the Meeting, and, in addition, a quorum of the shareholders for the particular Fund is required in order for action to be taken by the shareholders of that Fund with respect to Items 1 and 2. For any Fund that is identified inAppendix A as being organized as a series of a Trust, a quorum of
7
the shareholders of the Trust as a whole is required in order to take action at the Meeting with respect to Item 3, and a quorum of the shareholders for the particular Fund is required in order for action to be taken by the shareholders of that Fund with respect to Items 1 and 2, whether or not there is a quorum of the shareholders of the Trust as a whole.
Votes cast by proxy or in person at each Meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for that Meeting. The inspectors of election will determine whether or not a quorum is present at the Meeting. The inspectors of election will treat abstentions and “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees, typically in “street name,” as to which proxies have been returned but (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter) as present for purposes of determining a quorum.
Broker-dealer firms, including Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGMI”) and other Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”) affiliates, holding shares of a Fund in “street name” for the benefit of their customers and clients, will request the instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares on each Item before the Meetings. The Funds understand that, under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), such broker-dealer firms may, subject to certain conditions, without instructions from their customers and clients, grant authority to the proxies designated to vote on the new management agreements in Item 1, the new subadvisory agreements in Item 2 and the election of Board Members in Item 3 if no instructions have been received prior to the date specified in the broker-dealer firms’ request for voting instructions. In addition, a signed proxy card or other authorization by a beneficial owner of Fund shares that does not specify how the beneficial owner’s shares should be voted on a proposal will be deemed an instruction to vote such shares in favor of the applicable proposal.
CGMI and other Citigroup broker-dealer affiliates have an interest in the outcome of the voting on the new management agreements in Item 1 and the new subadvisory agreements in Item 2, and stand to benefit if these proposals are approved. For example, if shareholders of the Funds fail to approve the new management agreements and the new subadvisory agreements, the transaction involving Citigroup, which is described below under the heading “Description of the Transaction,” may not be consummated or the payments to Citigroup in connection with the transaction may be reduced. Therefore, to address this conflict of interest, CGMI and such other Citigroup broker-dealer affiliates have advised each Fund that they intend to vote shares held in their respective names for which no instructions have been timely received, except as limited by agreement or applicable law, in the same proportion as those shares for which voting instructions are received by them, respectively, from beneficial owners of those shares for which instructions have been received, whether or not held in nominee name.
If you hold shares of a Fund through a bank or other financial institution or intermediary (called a service agent) that has entered into a service agreement with the Fund or the Fund’s distributor, the service agent may be the record holder of your shares. At the Meetings, a service agent will vote shares for which it receives instructions from its customers in accordance with those instructions. A signed proxy card or other authorization by a shareholder that does not specify how the shareholder’s shares should be voted on a proposal will be deemed an instruction to vote such shares in favor of the applicable proposal. Some service agents are affiliates of Citigroup and, like the Citigroup broker-dealer affiliates, they have an interest in the voting on Items 1 and 2. With respect to any shares for which it is the holder of record and for which it does not receive voting instructions from its customers, a service agent, including a Citigroup-affiliated service agent, intends to vote those shares in the same proportion as the votes received from its customers for which instructions have been received.
Shares of certain Funds are offered only to variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts established by insurance companies to fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (the “Variable Annuity Funds”). The rights accompanying shares of certain of the Variable Annuity Funds are legally vested in the variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance products offered by the separate accounts of participating life insurance companies. However, in accordance with current law and interpretations thereof, participating insurance companies will vote shares held in the separate accounts in a manner consistent with voting instructions timely received from the holders of variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies. A signed proxy card or other authorization by a holder that does not specify how the holder’s shares should be voted on a proposal may be deemed an instruction to vote such shares in favor of the applicable proposal. Those persons who have a voting interest at the close of business on [insert date] will be entitled to submit instructions to their participating insurance company. Each participating insurance company will vote Variable Annuity Fund shares held in separate accounts for which no timely instructions are received from the holders of variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies, as well as shares it owns, in the same proportion as those shares for which such insurance company receives voting instructions. For purposes of this Joint Proxy Statement, the term “shareholder” (when used to refer to the beneficial holder of ownership interests in a Fund) shall also be deemed to include holders of variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies.
8
If you beneficially own shares that are held in “street name” through a broker-dealer or that are held of record by a service agent, or if you hold shares through a variable annuity contract or a variable life insurance policy, and if you do not give specific voting instructions for your shares, they could be voted in a manner that you may not intend. Therefore, you are strongly encouraged to give your broker-dealer, service agent or participating insurance company specific instructions as to how you want your shares to be voted.
Approval of Items 1 and 2 requires the affirmative vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the relevant Fund. Under applicable law, the vote of “a majority of the outstanding voting securities” means the affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the voting power of the voting securities of the Fund that are present at the Meeting or represented by proxy if holders of shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund are present or represented by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.
Each nominee named in Item 3 must be elected by a plurality of the voting power of the shares of the relevant Trust or Corporation voted at the Meeting. In the case of a Trust or Corporation that comprises one or more series, the voting power of the shares of each series will be counted together in determining the results of the voting for Item 3.
If you are a shareholder of a closed-end fund, you are not being asked to elect Board Members at this time. Each of the Funds which is a closed-end fund is listed inAppendix C (each a “Closed-end Fund,” and collectively, the “Closed-end Funds”). Unlike open-end funds, closed-end funds generally hold annual meetings of their shareholders at which Board Members are elected, and many of the Closed-end Funds covered by this Joint Proxy Statement have already held their 2005 annual meetings or are scheduled to hold meetings shortly at which Board Members will be elected.
The following table summarizes these voting requirements:
Shareholders Entitled to Vote | Vote Required for Approval | |||
Item 1 (Approval of New Management Agreement) | Shareholders of the relevant Fund, voting separately | Approved by a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the relevant Fund | ||
Item 2 (Approval of New Subadvisory Agreement) | Shareholders of the relevant Fund, voting separately | Approved by a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the relevant Fund | ||
Item 3 (Election of Board Members) | Shareholders of the relevant Fund (other than the Closed-end Funds) voting together with shareholders of the other Funds, if any, that are series of the same Trust or Corporation | Each nominee must be elected by a plurality of the voting power of the shares of the relevant Corporation/Trust voted at the Meeting |
Approval of each proposal will occur only if a sufficient number of votes at the Meeting are cast FOR that proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered “votes cast” and, therefore, do not constitute a vote FOR. Abstentions effectively result in a vote AGAINST proposals in Items 1 and 2 and are disregarded in determining whether a proposal has received enough votes. Broker non-votes are not expected to be generated by these proposals. However, any broker non-votes would also effectively be treated as a vote AGAINST Items 1 and 2. Abstention and broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote on Item 3.
ITEM 1—TO APPROVE A NEW MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
At the Meeting, you will be asked to approve a new management agreement between your Fund and its investment adviser (each a “New Management Agreement,” and collectively, the “New Management Agreements”). A general description of the proposed New Management Agreement and a general comparison of the proposed New Management Agreement and the investment management agreements currently in effect for the Funds (each, a “Current Management Agreement,” and collectively, the “Current Management Agreements”) are included below. More detailed comparisons are included inAppendix D. The form of the New Management Agreement is attached hereto asAppendix E.
Smith Barney Fund Management LLC (“SBFM”), Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc (“SBAM”), Citi Fund Management Inc. (“CFM”) and The Travelers Investment Management Company (“TIMCO”) currently provide investment
9
advisory services to the Funds. SBFM, SBAM, CFM and TIMCO (each, an “Adviser,” and collectively, the “Advisers”) serve as investment advisers to the Funds as set forth inAppendix B and are responsible for the Funds’ overall investment strategy and its implementation. The date of each Fund’s Current Management Agreement and the date on which it was last approved by shareholders and approved for continuance by the Board is provided inAppendix F.
The Board Members are proposing a New Management Agreement for each Fund because the Current Management Agreements will terminate when the Advisers’ parent company, Citigroup, sells its interest in each of the Advisers to Legg Mason, Inc. (“Legg Mason”). This transaction is discussed in more detail below. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that an advisory agreement of an investment company provide for automatic termination of the agreement in the event of its “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act). A sale of a controlling block of an investment adviser’s voting securities generally is deemed to result in an assignment of the investment adviser’s advisory agreements. The consummation of the transaction discussed below will constitute a sale of a controlling block of voting securities of each Adviser that will result in the automatic termination of each Current Management Agreement.
Description of the Transaction
On June 23, 2005, Citigroup entered into a definitive agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with Legg Mason under which Citigroup will sell substantially all of its asset management business, Citigroup Asset Management (“CAM”), to Legg Mason in exchange for the broker-dealer and investment banking businesses of Legg Mason, a number of shares of Legg Mason common stock representing 4.39% of the outstanding voting securities of Legg Mason and a number of shares of non-voting, convertible preferred stock representing approximately 10% of the pro-forma common stock of Legg Mason (on an as converted basis) and, subject to certain adjustments, approximately $550 million in the form of a five-year loan facility provided to Legg Mason by Citigroup Corporate and Investment Banking (the “Transaction”). Subject to certain adjustments, the total value of the Transaction (based on the average price of Legg Mason common stock prior to June 23, 2005) is approximately $3.7 billion. As a result of the Transaction, the Advisers to the Funds will become wholly owned subsidiaries of Legg Mason.
Consummation of the Transaction is subject to certain terms and conditions, including, among others: (1) Citigroup and Legg Mason obtaining certain required regulatory approvals, (2) consent by certain advisory clients of CAM representing no less than 75% of the revenue attributable to the assets under management for such clients to continue their advisory relationship with the Advisers following the consummation of the Transaction and (3) conversion of Legg Mason’s subsidiary, Legg Mason Trust, fsb, from a federal thrift charter to a trust company chartered under state law or the National Bank Act that is not a bank, thrift or savings association under the Bank Holding Company Act. Although there is no assurance that the Transaction will be completed, if each of the terms and conditions is satisfied or waived, the closing of the Transaction is expected to take place during the fourth quarter of 2005.
Legg Mason, whose principal executive offices are at 100 Light Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202, is a financial services holding company. Legg Mason is a holding company that provides asset management, securities brokerage, investment banking and related financial services through its subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2005, Legg Mason’s asset management operation had aggregate assets under management of approximately $397 billion, of which, approximately $248 billion (62%) represented fixed income assets, and $75 billion (19%) represented assets in mutual and closed-end funds sponsored by Legg Mason and its affiliates.
In anticipation of the Transaction, members of the Funds’ Boards met on July 11, 2005 and the Funds’ Boards met in person at a joint meeting, and each Fund’s Board also met separately, during the first two weeks of August 2005 for purposes of, among other things, considering whether it would be in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders to approve the New Management Agreement between the Fund and the Fund’s Adviser. The 1940 Act requires that the New Management Agreement be approved by the Fund’s shareholders in order for it to become effective. At those Board meetings, and for the reasons discussed below (see “Board Considerations” below), each Board, including a majority of the Board Members who are not “interested persons” of the Funds or the Advisers as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Board Members”), approved each New Management Agreement applicable to the Funds overseen by that Board and recommended its approval by shareholders in order to assure continuity of investment advisory services to the Fund after the Transaction. In the event shareholders of a Fund do not approve the New Management Agreement, the Fund’s Board will take such action as it deems to be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
10
Citigroup is relying on Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act. Section 15(f) provides in substance that when a sale of a controlling interest in an investment adviser occurs, the investment adviser or any of its affiliated persons may receive any amount or benefit in connection with the sale so long as two conditions are satisfied. The first condition of Section 15(f) is that during the three-year period following the consummation of a transaction, at least 75% of the investment company’s board of directors must not be “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the investment adviser or predecessor adviser. Each of the Funds currently meets this test. Second, an “unfair burden” must not be imposed on the investment company as a result of the transaction relating to the sale of such interest, or any express or implied terms, conditions or understandings applicable thereto. The term “unfair burden” (as defined in the 1940 Act) includes any arrangement during the two-year period after the transaction whereby the investment adviser (or predecessor or successor adviser), or any “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of such an adviser, receives or is entitled to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from the investment company or its security holders (other than fees for bona fide investment advisory or other services) or from any person in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other property to, from or on behalf of the investment company (other than bona fide ordinary compensation as principal underwriter for the investment company). Under the Transaction Agreement, Citigroup and Legg Mason have agreed not to take any action that is not contemplated by the Transaction, or fail to take any action, that to their respective knowledge would cause any of the requirements of Section 15(f) not to be met.
As noted above, under the requirements of the 1940 Act, each Fund is required to enter into a new advisory agreement as a result of the Transaction. The Current Management Agreements pursuant to which the Funds currently receive investment advisory services differ in many cases from Fund to Fund and in some cases contain outdated provisions. CAM management has proposed that the Funds use this opportunity to both standardize the terms of the agreements used in the fund complex and to update the agreements. In addition, for those Funds currently operating under separate investment management and fund administration agreements, both functions will now be covered under one agreement, except in the case of Smith Barney Small Cap Core Fund, Inc., Greenwich Street Series—Equity Index Portfolio and Smith Barney S&P 500 Index Fund (the “TIMCO Funds”), which will continue to receive investment management and fund administration services under separate agreements.
The fees payable to the Advisers under each New Management Agreement will in each case be no greater than the aggregate fees currently payable to the Advisers by the Fund for investment management and fund administration services. In addition, the Advisers have assured the Boards that they will continue to provide the same level of advisory and administrative services to each Fund under the New Management Agreements as provided under the Current Management Agreements and any separate administrative agreements. For the TIMCO Funds, the separate fees payable for advisory and administrative services will in each case be no greater than the fees currently payable by the TIMCO Funds for such services, and the Adviser and administrator for each of the TIMCO Funds will continue to provide the same level of advisory and administrative services, as applicable, to such TIMCO Fund.
The New Management Agreements reflect, consistent with recent regulatory initiatives, an increased role for a Fund’s Board particularly in areas where the Adviser may have a conflict of interest in providing services to a Fund. For example, in recent years the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has focused on proxy voting by investment companies, adopting new disclosure and reporting requirements, and focusing on the duty of an investment adviser to vote proxies in the best interests of a fund and its shareholders. The New Management Agreements require the Adviser to exercise voting and other rights pertaining to a Fund’s portfolio securities subject to such direction as a Fund’s Board may provide. Also, in recent years there has been an increased focus on the payment of brokerage fees by investment companies in connection with their portfolio transactions, and the role of a fund’s adviser in selecting brokers to execute a fund’s trades, in particular where the adviser may benefit directly, such as in the use of “soft dollars” (as described below). The New Management Agreements, while permitting the Advisers to select brokers for the Funds and to utilize soft dollars as now permitted under applicable law, permit the Funds’ Boards to adopt policies and procedures relating to brokerage practices that may limit the broad authority granted to the Advisers in the New Management Agreements.
Except in the case of the TIMCO Funds, the New Management Agreements also include fund administration services as well as investment management functions. Because both of these functions are currently performed by personnel of the Advisers or their affiliates, and because of the importance of all of these functions, it is proposed that both functions be provided under one agreement, which will be subject to annual review by a Fund’s Board both as to the services provided and the fees payable thereunder.
11
Comparison of Current Management Agreements to the New Management Agreement
Set forth below is a general description of the terms of the New Management Agreements and a general comparison with the terms of the Current Management Agreements. Variations applicable to the TIMCO Funds are discussed under the heading “TIMCO Funds” below. A copy of the form of New Management Agreement, including the variations applicable to the TIMCO Funds, is attached to this Joint Proxy Statement asAppendix E and you should refer toAppendix E for the complete terms of the New Management Agreement. A more detailed examination of the material differences between the New Management Agreements and the Current Management Agreements on a Fund by Fund basis is set forth in AppendixD and you should refer toAppendix D to determine how the New Management Agreement may differ in any material respect from your Fund’s Current Management Agreement.
Fees. There is no change in the aggregate fees payable by any Fund to its Adviser for investment management and fund administration services under the New Management Agreement. However, as noted below, the New Management Agreement addresses the provision of both investment management and administrative services to the Fund, and the fees payable under the Agreements therefore include the fees for both investment management and administrative services. For certain Funds, the fee for administrative services is currently paid to the Advisers or their affiliates under separate agreements. The current fee schedule for management services and, if applicable, administrative services for each Fund is set forth inAppendix F.
Investment Management Services. Each New Management Agreement provides that, subject to the supervision of the Fund’s Board, the Adviser will regularly provide the Fund with investment research, advice, management and supervision, will furnish a continuous investment program for the Fund’s portfolio of securities and other investments consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions, will determine from time to time what securities and other investments will be purchased, retained or sold by the Fund, and will implement those decisions, all subject to the provisions of the Fund’s governing documents, the 1940 Act, the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and other applicable federal and state law, as well as any specific policies adopted by the Fund’s Board and disclosed to the Adviser. Except in the case of certain Funds organized in a fund of funds structure, as noted in AppendixD, each Current Management Agreement contains similar provisions.
As noted above, under each Fund’s New Management Agreement, the Fund’s Adviser is authorized to place orders pursuant to its investment determinations for the Fund either directly with the issuer or with any broker or dealer, foreign currency dealer, futures commission merchant or others selected by it. Subject to any policies and procedures of the Fund’s Board that may modify or restrict the Adviser’s authority regarding the execution of the Fund’s portfolio transactions provided in the Agreement and described below, brokers or dealers may be selected by the Adviser who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (“1934 Act”) to the Funds and/or the other accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment discretion, a practice commonly referred to as “soft dollars.” The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for a Fund which is in excess of the amount of commission or spread another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed either in terms of that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities that the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion.
Except in certain cases noted in AppendixD, each Current Management Agreement also authorizes the Adviser to select brokers and dealers for the execution of portfolio transactions, with such limitations as are also described inAppendix D. Many of the Current Management Agreements also provide that the Adviser must seek the best overall terms available in selecting brokers or dealers to execute transactions on behalf of a Fund, and require the Adviser to consider factors it deems relevant, such as the breadth of the market in the security, the price of the security, the financial condition and execution capability of the broker or dealer and the reasonableness of the commission, if any, for the specific transaction and on a continuing basis. However, none of the Current Management Agreements give specific authority to the Board of a Fund, as do the New Management Agreements, to adopt policies and procedures that may modify or restrict the Adviser’s authority regarding trades for the Fund.
Each New Management Agreement further provides that the Adviser will provide advice and recommendations with respect to other aspects of the business and affairs of the Fund, and will exercise voting rights, rights to consent to corporate action and any other rights pertaining to a Fund’s portfolio securities subject to such direction as the Board may provide, and will perform such other functions of investment management and supervision as may be directed by the Board. Except as described inAppendix D, the Current Management Agreements have similar provisions. Many of the Current Management
12
Agreements, as noted in AppendixD, do not require or otherwise mention proxy voting on behalf of a Fund. None of the Current Management Agreements gives specific authority to the Board of the Fund to provide direction to the Adviser with respect to proxy voting.
Fund Administration Services. Each New Management Agreement provides that the Adviser will also perform such administrative and management services as may from time to time be reasonably requested by the Fund as necessary for the operation of the Fund, subject to the direction and control of the Board. Such administrative services include (i) supervising the overall administration of the Fund, including negotiation of contracts and fees with, and the monitoring of performance and billings of, the Fund’s transfer agent, shareholder servicing agents, custodian and other independent contractors or agents, (ii) providing certain compliance, fund accounting, regulatory reporting, and tax reporting services, (iii) preparing or participating in the preparation of Board materials, registration statements, proxy statements and reports and other communications to shareholders, (iv) maintaining the Fund’s existence, and (v) during such times as shares are publicly offered, maintaining the registration and qualification of the Fund’s shares under federal and state laws. The Adviser is also required to supply the Fund’s Board and officers with all information and reports reasonably required by them and reasonably available to the Adviser. The Adviser further oversees the maintenance and preservation of all books and records with respect to the Fund’s securities transactions and the keeping of the Fund’s books of account in accordance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations. In addition, each New Management Agreement requires the Adviser to furnish the Fund, at its own expense, with office facilities, including space, furniture and equipment and all personnel reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. Each New Management Agreement also requires the Adviser to permit any of its directors, officers and employees, who may be elected as Board Members or officers of the Fund, to serve in the capacities in which they are elected.
Each of the Funds currently has in place agreements providing for similar administrative services to be provided by that Fund’s Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser. In some cases, as in the New Management Agreement, these administrative services are included with investment management services in one agreement. In other cases, a Fund has entered into a separate agreement covering the provision of administrative services with the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser. Unlike the New Management Agreement, many of these separate agreements have appendices attached which detail the fund accounting, financial administration, treasury, and legal and regulatory services to be provided by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser. The Advisers have provided assurances to the Boards that they will provide at least the same level of services under a Fund’s New Management Agreement as are currently provided under the existing management or administrative services agreement pertaining to that Fund.
Payment of Expenses. The New Management Agreement requires the Adviser to bear all expenses, and to furnish all necessary services, facilities and personnel, in connection with its responsibilities to provide the Fund with investment advisory and administrative services under the New Management Agreement. Except for these expenses, the Adviser is not responsible for a Fund’s expenses as described more fully inAppendix C. Except as described in AppendixD, each Current Management Agreement also requires that the Adviser bear all expenses in connection with the performance of its services under the Agreement.
Conflicts of Interest. As noted above, the New Management Agreement contains several provisions that address potential conflicts of interest that may arise in a typical investment advisory relationship. In addition to those provisions discussed above, the New Management Agreement provides that the Adviser may not deal with itself, or with members of a Fund’s Board or any principal underwriter of the Fund, as principals or agents, in making purchases or sales of securities or other property for the Fund, nor may the Adviser purchase any securities from an underwriting or selling group in which the Adviser or its affiliates is participating, or arrange for purchases and sales of securities between a Fund and another account advised by the Adviser or its affiliates, except in each case as permitted under the 1940 Act and in accordance with such policies and procedures as may be adopted by a Fund from time to time. The New Management Agreement specifically provides that personnel of the Adviser, even if serving the Fund as a Board Member, officer or employee, may nonetheless engage in any other business or devote his or her time and attention in part to the management or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar nature or a dissimilar nature. In addition, the Adviser may engage in any other business or render services of any kind, including investment advisory and management services, to any other fund, firm, individual or association. However, the New Management Agreement also provides that if the purchase or sale of securities consistent with the investment policies of a Fund or one or more other accounts of the Adviser is considered at or about the same time, transactions in such securities must be allocated among the accounts in a manner deemed equitable by the Adviser. In addition, if transactions of a Fund and another client are combined, as permitted by applicable laws and regulations, such transactions must be consistent with the Adviser’s policies and procedures as presented to the Board from time to time.
13
As more fully described inAppendix D, certain of the Current Management Agreements address some, but not all, of these potential conflicts.
Limitation on Liability.Under each New Management Agreement, the Adviser assumes no responsibility other than to render the services called for by the Agreement in good faith, and the Adviser is not liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law, or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission in the execution of securities transactions for a Fund. An Adviser is not protected however, for willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Agreement. This same limitation of liability applies to affiliates of the Adviser who may provide services to the Fund as contemplated by the New Management Agreement.
Except as described inAppendix D, each Current Management Agreement contains similar provisions that limit the liability of the Adviser to the Fund, except for liability for willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence on its part in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Agreement. Many of the Current Management Agreements, however, do not specifically mention losses arising out of any investment or any act or omission in the execution of securities transactions for a Fund. Certain of the Current Management Agreements also require the Adviser to exercise its best judgment in rendering services under the Agreement, but, unlike the New Management Agreements, do not also specifically require the Adviser to act in good faith. As noted above, however, both the Current Management Agreements and the New Management Agreements contain similar provisions limiting the liability of the Advisers. The Advisers have informed the Boards that the same standard of care to which the Advisers are subject under the Current Management Agreements is intended to apply under the New Management Agreements, as well. The differences between the Current Management Agreements and the New Management Agreements with respect to limitation on liability are more fully described inAppendix D.
Term and Continuance. If approved by shareholders of a Fund, the New Management Agreement for the Fund will terminate, unless sooner terminated as set forth therein, two years from the date of implementation. Thereafter, if not terminated, each New Management Agreement will continue in effect from year to year if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (i) by the Board or (ii) by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, provided that in either event the continuance is also approved by a majority of the Board Members who are not interested persons of any party to the New Management Agreement. The Current Management Agreements have similar provisions for their term and continuance, although the initial dates of the Agreements differ and the initial two-year period has elapsed in most cases.
Termination. The New Management Agreement for each Fund provides that the Agreement may be terminated at any time without the payment of any penalty by the Fund upon not more than sixty days’ and not less than thirty days’ written notice to the Adviser or by the Adviser upon not less than ninety days’ written notice to the Fund. A Fund may effect termination by action of the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, accompanied by appropriate notice. Both the Current Management Agreement and the New Management Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of their “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act). Except as described inAppendix F, the Current Management Agreements contain similar termination provisions.
TIMCO Funds
The TIMCO Funds will continue to receive investment management and fund administration services under separate agreements. It is proposed that the TIMCO Funds enter into New Management Agreements that are substantially identical to the New Management Agreements described above, except that the New Management Agreements relating to the TIMCO Funds do not contain provisions relating to the furnishing of fund administration services to the Fund. Such services will be provided under the existing administration agreements for each of the TIMCO Funds, which will remain in effect immediately following the closing of the Transaction.
At meetings held during the first two weeks of August 2005, the Board of each Fund, including the Independent Board Members, approved the New Management Agreement between the Fund and its Adviser. The exact date of each Board’s meeting is noted inAppendix G.
To assist the Boards in their consideration of the New Management Agreements, the Boards received in advance of their meetings materials and information about Legg Mason, including its financial condition and asset management capabilities
14
and organization, and about the Transaction between Legg Mason and Citigroup. In addition, the Independent Board Members consulted with their counsel on numerous occasions, discussing, among other things, the legal standards and certain other considerations relevant to the Board Members’ deliberations.
The Independent Board Members, through their independent legal counsel, also requested and received additional information from CAM and Legg Mason in connection with their consideration of the agreements. The additional information was provided in advance of and at the August meeting.
On July 11, 2005, members of the Boards discussed with CAM management and certain Legg Mason representatives the Transaction and Legg Mason’s general plans and intentions regarding the Funds, including the preservation, strengthening and growth of CAM’s business and its combination with Legg Mason’s business. The Board Members also inquired about the plans for and anticipated roles and responsibilities of certain CAM employees and officers after the Transaction. The Independent Board Members of each Board also conferred separately and with their counsel about the Transaction on a number of occasions, including in connection with the July meeting.
At each Board’s August meetings, representatives of CAM and Legg Mason made presentations to and responded to questions from the Board. After the presentations and after reviewing the written materials provided, the Independent Board Members met in executive session with their counsel to consider the New Management Agreements.
Among other things, the Board Members considered:
(i) the reputation, financial strength and resources of Legg Mason and its investment advisory subsidiaries;
(ii) that Legg Mason and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Western Asset Management Company and its affiliates (“Western Asset”), are experienced and respected asset management firms, and that Legg Mason has advised the Board Members that (a) it intends to combine the fixed income investment operations (including money market fund operations) of CAM with those of Western Asset and may also wish to combine other CAM operations with those of other Legg Mason subsidiaries; (b) after the closing of the Transaction, it will take steps to combine the investment management operations of Western Asset with the fixed income operations of the Advisers and, in relevant cases, the CAM subadvisers to the Funds, which, among other things, may involve Western Asset, the Advisers and, in relevant cases, the CAM subadvisers to the Funds sharing common systems and procedures, employees (including portfolio managers), investment and trading platforms, and other resources; (c) it is expected that these combination processes will result in changes to portfolio managers or portfolio management teams for a number of the Funds, subject to Board consent and appropriate notice to shareholders, and that, in other cases, the current portfolio managers or portfolio management teams will remain in place; and (d) in the future, it may recommend that Western Asset or other Legg Mason subsidiaries be appointed as the adviser or subadviser to some or all of the Funds, subject to applicable regulatory requirements;
(iii) that CAM management and Legg Mason have advised the Boards that following the Transaction, there is not expected to be any diminution in the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Funds and their shareholders by the Advisers, including compliance services;
(iv) that Legg Mason has advised the Boards that it has no present intention to alter the expense waivers and reimbursements currently in effect and, while it reserves the right to do so in the future, it would consult with the applicable Boards before making any changes;
(v) the assurances from Citigroup and Legg Mason that, for a three year period following the closing of the Transaction, the Advisers will have substantially the same access to the Citigroup sales force when distributing shares of the Funds as is currently provided to CAM and that other arrangements between the Advisers and Citigroup sales channels will be preserved;
(vi) for Funds currently having investment subadvisers, the existence of that subadvisory relationship, the division of responsibilities between the Adviser and the subadviser and the services provided by each of them, and the cost to the Adviser of obtaining those services (in the case of subadvisers not affiliated with the Adviser);
(vii) the terms and conditions of the agreement to be entered into between Legg Mason and Citigroup in connection with the Transaction under which Citigroup-affiliated broker-dealers will continue to offer the Funds as investment products, and the potential benefits to Fund shareholders from this and other third-party distribution access;
(viii) the potential benefits to Fund shareholders from being part of a combined fund family with Legg Mason-sponsored funds, including possible economies of scale and access to investment opportunities;
15
(ix) that Citigroup and Legg Mason would derive benefits from the Transaction and that, as a result, they have a financial interest in the matters that were being considered;
(x) the potential effects of regulatory restrictions on the Funds if Citigroup-affiliated broker-dealers remain the Funds’ principal underwriters;
(xi) the fact that each Fund’s total advisory and administrative fees will not increase by virtue of the New Management Agreements, but will remain the same;
(xii) the terms and conditions of the New Management Agreements, including the differences from the Current Management Agreements (see “Comparison of Current Management Agreements to the New Management Agreement” above andAppendix F), and, except with respect to the TIMCO Funds, the benefits of a single, uniform form of agreement covering these services;
(xiii) that within the past year each Board had performed a full annual review of or initially approved, if applicable, the Current Management Agreements as required by the 1940 Act and had determined that each applicable Adviser has the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide the advisory and administrative services currently provided to each Fund; and that the advisory and/or management fees paid by each Fund, taking into account any applicable agreed-upon fee reductions and breakpoints, represent reasonable compensation to the Adviser in light of the services provided, the costs to the Adviser of providing those services, the fees and other expenses paid by similar funds, and such other matters as the Board Members considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment, and represent an appropriate sharing at the present time between Fund shareholders and the Adviser of economies of scale in the management of each Fund at current and anticipated asset levels (the date of each Board’s most recent full annual review of the Current Management Agreements is noted inAppendix E);
(xiv) that the Funds would not bear the costs of obtaining shareholder approval of the New Management Agreements; and
(xv) that under the Transaction Agreement, Citigroup and Legg Mason have agreed not to take any action that is not contemplated by the Transaction or fail to take any action that to their respective knowledge would cause any of the requirements of Section 15(f) not to be met.
Certain of these considerations are discussed in more detail below.
In their deliberations, the Board Members did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each Board Member attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board Members evaluated all information available to them on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and their determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund. The Board Members, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, concluded that the terms of the New Management Agreements are fair and reasonable, that the fees stated therein are reasonable in light of the services to be provided to each Fund, and that the New Management Agreements should be approved and recommended to Fund shareholders.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services Provided
In evaluating the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by the Advisers under the New Management Agreements, the Board Members considered, among other things, the expected impact, if any, of the Transaction on the operations, facilities, organization and personnel of each Adviser; the potential implications of regulatory restrictions on the Funds following the Transaction; the ability of each Adviser to perform its duties after the Transaction, taking into account where the Fund currently has a subadviser the delegation of certain duties to the subadviser; and any anticipated changes to the current investment and other practices of the Funds. The Board Members considered Legg Mason’s advice that, after the closing of the Transaction, Legg Mason intends to review all aspects of the Funds’ operations (including equity, fixed income and money market fund operations). The Board Members considered Legg Mason’s advice that it intends to combine the fixed income investment operations of CAM with those of Western Asset and may also wish to combine other CAM operations with those of other Legg Mason subsidiaries. The Board Members noted that Western Asset is an experienced and respected institutional asset manager that focuses on managing fixed income assets on behalf of institutional separate accounts, retirement plans and other institutional investors, including mutual funds. The Board Members further noted that, as of June 30, 2005, Western Asset managed approximately $230 billion in assets on behalf of its clients. The Board Members considered Legg Mason’s advice that, after the closing of the sale, Legg Mason will take steps to combine the investment management operations of Western Asset with the fixed income operations of the Advisers and, in relevant cases,
16
the CAM subadvisers to the Funds, which, among other things, may involve Western Asset, the Advisers and, in relevant cases, the CAM subadvisers to the Funds sharing common systems and procedures, employees (including portfolio managers), investment and trading platforms, and other resources. The Board Members also considered Legg Mason’s advice that it is expected that these combination processes will result in changes to portfolio managers or portfolio management teams for a number of the Funds, subject to Board consent and appropriate notice to shareholders, and that, in other cases, the current portfolio managers or portfolio management teams will remain in place. The Board Members also considered Legg Mason’s advice that in the future, Legg Mason may recommend that Western Asset or other Legg Mason subsidiaries be appointed as the adviser or subadviser to some or all of the Funds, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.
The Board Members noted that if Citigroup-affiliated broker-dealers remain the Funds’ principal underwriters, the Funds would continue to be subject to restrictions concerning certain transactions involving Citigroup affiliates (for example, transactions with a Citigroup broker-dealer acting as principal) absent regulatory relief or clarification.
Based on their review of the materials provided and the assurances they had received from CAM management and Legg Mason, the Board Members determined that the Transaction was not expected to adversely affect the nature and quality of services provided by each Adviser and that the Transaction was not expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Advisers to provide those services. It was noted, however, that a limited number of portfolio managers and other personnel have entered into retention and/or employment agreements with the Advisers or Legg Mason covering periods before and after the closing of the Transaction, and, as noted above, it is expected that there will be changes in personnel following the Transaction or after the combination of CAM’s operations with those of Legg Mason subsidiaries. The Board Members noted that if current portfolio managers or other personnel ceased to be available, each Board would consider all available options, which could include seeking the investment advisory or other services of Legg Mason affiliates. In this regard, it was noted that Legg Mason has indicated that it could potentially make available to the Advisers additional portfolio management resources in the event of loss of CAM personnel for particular investment disciplines. Accordingly, the Board Members concluded that, overall, they were satisfied at the present time with the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Funds under the New Management Agreements.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability
In evaluating the costs of the services to be provided by the Advisers under the New Management Agreements and the profitability to the Advisers of their relationships with the Funds, the Board Members considered, among other things, whether advisory and administrative (or management) fees or other expenses would change as a result of the Transaction. Based on their review of the materials provided and the assurances they had received from CAM management and Legg Mason, the Board Members determined that the Transaction would not increase the total fees payable for advisory and administrative (or management) services and that overall Fund expenses were not expected to increase materially as a result of the Transaction. The Board Members noted that it was not possible to predict how the Transaction would affect the Advisers’ profitability from their relationship with the Funds, but that they had been satisfied in their most recent review of the Current Management Agreements that each Adviser’s level of profitability from its relationship with the Funds was not excessive. It was noted that in conjunction with that review, the Board Members had obtained an independent accountant’s review of the methodology used to determine the Advisers’ profitability. The Board Members concluded that, overall, they were satisfied that, currently, each Adviser’s level of profitability from its relationship with each Fund was not excessive.
The Board Members noted that they expect to receive Adviser profitability information on an annual basis and thus be in a position to evaluate whether any adjustments in Fund fees and/or fee breakpoints would be appropriate.
Fall-Out Benefits
In evaluating the fall-out benefits to be received by the Advisers under the New Management Agreements, the Board Members considered whether the Transaction would have an impact on the fall-out benefits received by virtue of the Current Management Agreements. Based on their review of the materials provided and their discussions with CAM management, Legg Mason and Western Asset, the Board Members determined that those benefits could include increased ability for Legg Mason to distribute shares of its funds and other investment products. The Board Members noted that any such benefits were difficult to quantify with certainty at this time, and indicated that they would continue to evaluate them going forward.
17
Fees and Economies of Scale
In reviewing the Transaction, the Board Members considered, among other things, whether advisory and administrative (or management) fees or other expenses would change as a result of the Transaction. Based on the assurances they had received from CAM management and Legg Mason, the Board Members determined that as a result of the Transaction, each Fund’s total advisory and administrative fees would not increase. The Board Members noted that in conjunction with their most recent deliberations concerning the Current Management Agreements, advisory or management fee reductions and fee breakpoints had been implemented for certain Funds, and that after taking those reductions and breakpoints into account, the Board Members had determined that the total fees for advisory and administrative (or management) services for many Funds were reasonable in light of the services provided and that CAM management had already initiated or would be taking steps to address the Board Members’ concerns regarding the fee levels of other Funds. It was noted that in conjunction with the recent review of the Current Management Agreements, the Board Members had received, among other things, a report from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) comparing each Fund’s fees, expenses and performance to those of a peer group for that Fund selected by Lipper, and information as to the fees charged by each Adviser to other registered investment company clients for investment management services. The Board Members concluded that because the advisory and administrative fees for each Fund were not expected to increase as a result of the Transaction, each Fund’s fees for advisory and administrative services remain appropriate and that no additional fee reductions or breakpoints were necessary at this time. The Board Members recognized that Legg Mason may realize economies of scale from the Transaction based on certain consolidations and synergies of operations.
Investment Performance
The Board Members noted that investment performance for many Funds was satisfactory or better, and that CAM management had already initiated or would be taking steps to address investment performance in other Funds. Following the closing of the Transaction, these steps may include combining certain CAM operations with those of certain Legg Mason subsidiaries. The Boards noted Legg Mason’s considerable investment management experience and capabilities, but were unable to predict what effect, if any, consummation of the Transaction would have on the future performance of the Funds.
Information About the Advisers
Each Adviser is a registered investment adviser and is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup. SBFM is a Delaware limited liability company that is wholly owned by Citigroup Global Market Holdings Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup. SBAM is a Delaware corporation that is wholly owned by Citigroup Financial Products Inc., which is wholly owned by Citigroup Global Market Holdings Inc. CFM is a Delaware corporation that is wholly owned by SBFM. TIMCO is a Connecticut corporation that is wholly owned by Citigroup Global Market Holdings Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup. Citigroup businesses offer a broad range of financial services—asset management, banking and consumer finance, credit and charge cards, insurance, investments, investment banking and trading—and use diverse channels to make them available to consumer and corporate customers around the world. Each Adviser or an affiliate provides administration services to the Funds to which it provides investment management services. These administrative services are provided under the Fund’s Current Management Agreement or under a separate agreement with the Fund covering the provision of administrative services. The address of Citigroup, each Adviser, with the exceptions of CFM and TIMCO, and the other entities referenced above is 399 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022. The address of CFM and TIMCO is 100 First Stamford Place, Stamford, Connecticut 06902.
CGMI currently serves as the distributor for each of the Funds, and for certain Funds, PFS Distributors, Inc. (“PFS”), serves as co-distributor. CGMI is located at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013. PFS is located at 3120 Breckinridge Boulevard, Duluth, Georgia 30099. Each of CGMI and PFS is an affiliate of Citigroup. After the closing of the Transaction, it is contemplated that an affiliate of Legg Mason may, subject to Board approval, become the primary distributor of all of the Funds and that CGMI and PFS will either remain as co-distributors of the Funds for which they currently serve in that capacity or will become selling dealers. In either case the Citigroup affiliates that are involved in distributions of the Funds’ shares will be compensated for their services.
Affiliates of the Advisers also currently serve as shareholder servicing agents for certain Funds. These arrangements are not expected to change as a result of the New Management Agreements being implemented. An affiliate of the Advisers also serves as transfer agent for the Funds. The Funds’ transfer agent is expected to change, but not as a result of the Transaction (see “Legal Proceedings Relating to Citigroup Affiliates and Certain of the Nominees” below for a description of a recent order relating to the Funds’ transfer agent). The tables set forth inAppendix H show amounts paid to affiliates of the
18
Advisers during the Funds’ most recently completed fiscal year for the services noted inAppendix H. There were no other material payments by the Funds to the Advisers or any of their affiliates during that period.
The aggregate brokerage commissions paid by each Fund to Legg Mason and its affiliate brokers during the Funds’ most recently completed fiscal year are set forth inAppendix I. There were no other material payments by the Funds to Legg Mason or its affiliates during that period.
The name and principal occupation of the directors and principal executive officers of the Advisers are as set forth inAppendix J. The principal address of each individual as it relates to his or her duties at the applicable Adviser is the same as that of the Adviser.
The Advisers provide investment advisory services to certain other funds that may have investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds. The table set forth inAppendix K lists other funds advised by the Advisers, the net assets of those funds, and the management fees the Advisers received from those funds during the fiscal years ended on the dates noted.
For the following Funds Only: Citi Cash Reserves, Citi Institutional Cash Reserves, Citi Institutional Liquid Reserves, Citi Institutional Tax Free Reserves, Citi Institutional U.S. Treasury Reserves, Citi Premium Liquid Reserves, Citi Premium U.S. Treasury Reserves, Citi Tax Free Reserves, Citi U.S. Treasury Reserves, and Citi Institutional Enhanced Income Fund.
Each of these Funds, a so-called Feeder Fund, invests in securities through another mutual fund, a so-called Master Fund, that has the same investment objectives and policies as the Feeder Funds investing in it, in a structure commonly referred to as a master-feeder structure. Each Master Fund has entered into a management agreement with one of the Advisers (each a “Current Master Fund Agreement”) that is substantively the same as the Current Management Agreement in effect for the Feeder Funds investing in it, except for the fees payable thereunder. These fees are included in the fees payable under the Current Management Agreements for each Feeder Fund as set forth inAppendix F hereto. The Current Management Agreement for each Feeder Fund is described inAppendix D, and you should refer toAppendix D for more information about the Current Management Agreements. The Current Master Fund Agreements will also terminate as a result of the Transaction. It is proposed that each Master Fund enter into a New Master Fund Agreement, which will have the same fees as the Current Master Fund Agreement, and be otherwise substantively the same as the New Management Agreement of each Feeder Fund investing in it. The New Management Agreement is discussed above and a copy of the form of New Management Agreement for each Feeder Fund is included in this Proxy Statement asAppendix E and you should refer toAppendix E for the complete terms of the New Management Agreement. There will be no increase in fees payable by shareholders in the Feeder Funds as a result of the adoption of the New Master Fund Agreement. Each Master Fund will hold a meeting of its investors and ask its investors to vote on the New Master Fund Agreement. Each Feeder Fund, as an investor in a Master Fund, will cast its votes on the New Master Fund Agreement in the same proportion as the votes cast at the Meetings by the Feeder Fund’s shareholders on this Item 1. The percentage of the Feeder Fund’s votes representing shareholders not voting at the Meetings will be voted in the same proportion as the votes cast by Feeder Fund shareholders who do in fact vote. By voting in favor of Item 1, you are authorizing your Fund to vote to approve the New Master Fund Agreement of the Master Fund in which it invests.
To become effective with respect to a particular Fund, the New Management Agreement must be approved by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. The “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities” is defined in the 1940 Act as the lesser of the vote of (a) 67% or more of the voting power of the voting securities of the Fund that are present at the Meeting or represented by proxy if holders of shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund are present or represented by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. Each New Management Agreement was approved by the Independent Board Members, separately, and by the Board of the applicable Fund, as a whole, after consideration of all factors which it determined to be relevant to its deliberations, including those discussed above. The Board of each Fund also determined to submit the Fund’s New Management Agreement for consideration by the shareholders of the Fund.
The Board of each Corporation/Trust recommends that shareholders of each Fund vote FOR the approval of the New Management Agreement.

ITEM 2—TO APPROVE A NEW SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT
This proposal is applicable only to the following Funds:
Fund | Affiliated Subadviser | |
SB Convertible Fund | Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc | |
SB Capital and Income Fund | Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc | |
Citigroup Investments Corporate Loan Fund Inc. | Citigroup Alternative Investments LLC | |
Greenwich Street Series—Diversified Strategic Income Portfolio | Citigroup Asset Management Limited | |
Smith Barney Diversified Strategic Income Fund | Citigroup Asset Management Limited | |
Smith Barney Financial Services Fund | Citigroup Asset Management Limited | |
Smith Barney Health Sciences Fund | Citigroup Asset Management Limited | |

Smith Barney Classic Values Fund | Olstein & Associates, L.P. | |
Real Estate Income Fund Inc. | AEW Management & Advisors LP | |
Smith Barney Multiple Discipline Funds—All Cap and International Fund | Causeway Capital Management LLC |
At the Meeting, you will also be asked to approve a new subadvisory agreement (each a “New Subadvisory Agreement” and collectively, the “New Subadvisory Agreements”) between your Fund’s Adviser and, as set forth above, your Fund’s subadviser (each, a “Subadviser,” and collectively, the “Subadvisers”). A general description of the proposed New Subadvisory Agreements and a general comparison of the proposed New Subadvisory Agreements and the subadvisory agreement currently in effect for each Fund (each, a “Current Subadvisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Current Subadvisory Agreements”) are included below. More detailed comparisons are included inAppendix L. The forms of the New Subadvisory Agreements are attached hereto asAppendix M.
The Subadvisers provide certain subadvisory services to the Funds pursuant to the Current Subadvisory Agreements. The date of each Fund’s Current Subadvisory Agreement and the date on which it was last approved by shareholders and approved for continuance by the applicable Board is provided inAppendix F.
The Boards are proposing a New Subadvisory Agreement for each Fund because the consummation of the Transaction discussed above will constitute a change in control of each Adviser, and, therefore, will result in the automatic termination of each Current Subadvisory Agreement. As a result of the Transaction, SBAM, TIMCO and Citigroup Asset Management Limited (“CAM Ltd.”) will become indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Legg Mason. Citigroup Alternative Investments LLC (“CAI”) is not part of the Transaction and will continue to be an indirect subsidiary of Citigroup. (SBAM, TIMCO, CAM Ltd. and CAI are referred to as the “Affiliated Subadvisers.”) Hansberger Global Investors, Inc. (“Hansberger”), Olstein & Associates, L.P. (“Olstein”), AEW Management & Advisors LP (“AEW”) and Causeway Capital Management LLC (“Causeway”) are not affiliated with Citigroup or CAM and are not part of the Transaction (Hansberger, Olstein, AEW and Causeway are referred to as the “Third Party Subadvisers”).
The fees payable to the Subadvisers under each New Subadvisory Agreement will in each case be no greater than the fees currently payable to the Subadvisers and the Subadvisers will continue to provide the advisory services to each subadvised Fund under the New Subadvisory Agreements as provided under the Current Subadvisory Agreements. Except as described below under “Board Considerations,” it is expected that advisory services will continue to be provided by the same Subadviser personnel under the New Subadvisory Agreements as under the Current Subadvisory Agreements.
20
It is proposed that those Funds listed above as having Affiliated Subadvisers use this opportunity to adopt a new form of subadvisory agreement in order to both standardize the terms of the subadvisory agreements used in the fund complex and to update the agreements to be consistent with the proposed New Management Agreements, discussed in Item 1. You should refer to the general description of the proposed New Management Agreement in Item 1.
Set forth below is a general comparison of the proposed New Subadvisory Agreements with the Current Subadvisory Agreements for those Funds with an Affiliated Subadviser. A copy of the form of New Subadvisory Agreement is included in this Proxy Statement asAppendix M and you should refer toAppendix M for the complete terms of the New Subadvisory Agreement. A more detailed examination of the material differences between the New Subadvisory Agreements and the Current Subadvisory Agreements on a Fund by Fund basis is set forth inAppendix L and you should refer toAppendix L to determine how the New Subadvisory Agreement may differ in any material respect from your Fund’s Current Subadvisory Agreement.
Comparison of Current Subadvisory Agreements to the New Subadvisory Agreement
Investment Management Services. Each New Subadvisory Agreement provides that, subject to the supervision of the Fund’s Board Members and its Adviser, the Affiliated Subadviser will regularly provide the Fund, with respect to that portion of a Fund’s assets allocated to the Affiliated Subadviser by the Adviser, with investment research, advice, management and supervision, will furnish a continuous investment program for the allocated assets consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions, will determine from time to time what securities and other investments will be purchased, retained or sold by the Fund, and will implement those decisions, all subject to the provisions of the Fund’s governing documents, the 1940 Act, the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and other applicable federal and state law, as well as any specific policies adopted by the Fund’s Board and disclosed to the Affiliated Subadviser. Each Current Subadvisory Agreement contains similar provisions.
Under the New Subadvisory Agreement, the Affiliated Subadviser is authorized to place orders pursuant to its investment determinations with respect to the allocated assets either directly with the issuer or with any broker or dealer, foreign currency dealer, futures commission merchant or others selected by it. Subject to any policies and procedures of the Fund’s Board that may modify or restrict the Affiliated Subadviser’s authority regarding the execution of the Fund’s portfolio transactions provided in the Agreement and described below, brokers or dealers may be selected by the Affiliated Subadviser who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Funds and/or the other accounts over which the Affiliated Subadviser or its affiliates exercise investment discretion, a practice commonly referred to as “soft dollars.” The Affiliated Subadviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for a Fund which is in excess of the amount of commission or spread another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Affiliated Subadviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities that the Affiliated Subadviser and its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion.
Each Current Subadvisory Agreement also authorizes the Affiliated Subadviser to select brokers and dealers for the execution of portfolio transactions, with such limitations as are described inAppendix L. Many of the Current Subadvisory Agreements also provide that the Affiliated Subadviser seek the best overall terms available in selecting brokers or dealers to execute transactions on behalf of a Fund, and require the Affiliated Subadviser to consider factors it deems relevant, such as the breadth of the market in the security, the price of the security, the financial condition and execution capability of the broker or dealer and the reasonableness of the commission, if any, for the specific transaction and on a continuing basis. However, none of the Current Subadvisory Agreements give specific authority to the Board of a Fund, as do the New Subadvisory Agreements, to adopt policies and procedures that may modify or restrict the Affiliated Subadviser’s authority regarding trades for the Fund, although certain of the Current Subadvisory Agreements provide that a Fund’s Board may instruct the Affiliated Subadviser to use certain broker/dealers selected by the Board, if the Board determines that the use of such broker/dealers is in the best interests of the Fund.
The New Subadvisory Agreement further provides that the Affiliated Subadviser will exercise voting rights, rights to consent to corporate action and any other rights pertaining to its allocated portion of a Fund’s assets in accordance with the
21
Affiliated Subadviser’s policies and procedures, subject to such direction as a Fund’s Board may provide and will perform such other functions of investment management and supervision as may be directed by the Board. Except as described inAppendix L, the Current Subadvisory Agreements also have similar provisions. Many of the Current Subadvisory Agreements, as noted inAppendix L, do not require or otherwise mention proxy voting on behalf of a Fund. None of the Current Subadvisory Agreements give specific authority to the Board of the Fund to provide direction to the Affiliated Subadviser with respect to proxy voting.
Fees. There is no change in the fees payable to the Affiliated Subadvisers for investment management services under the New Subadvisory Agreements. The current fees payable to the Affiliated Subadvisers are set forth inAppendix F.
Payment of Expenses. Each New Subadvisory Agreement requires the Affiliated Subadviser to furnish the Fund, at its own expense, all necessary services, facilities and personnel in connection with its responsibilities under the Agreement. Except for these expenses, the Affiliated Subadviser is not responsible for a Fund’s expenses as described more fully inAppendix L. Each Current Subadvisory Agreement also requires that the Affiliated Subadviser bear all expenses in connection with the performance of its services under the Agreement.
Conflicts of Interest. The New Subadvisory Agreement provides that the Affiliated Subadviser may not deal with itself, or with members of a Fund’s Board or any principal underwriter of the Fund, as principals or agents, in making purchases or sales of securities or other property for the Fund, nor may it purchase any securities from an underwriting or selling group in which the Affiliated Subadviser or its affiliates is participating, or arrange for purchases and sales of securities between a Fund and another account advised by the Affiliated Subadviser or its affiliates, except in each case as permitted by the 1940 Act and in accordance with such policies and procedures as may be adopted by a Fund from time to time. The Agreement specifically provides that personnel of the Affiliated Subadviser, even if serving the Fund as a Board Member, officer, or employee, may nonetheless engage in any other business or devote his or her time and attention in part to the management or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar nature or a dissimilar nature. In addition, the Affiliated Subadviser may engage in any other business or render services of any kind, including investment advisory and management services, to any other fund, firm, individual or association. However, the New Subadvisory Agreement also provides that if the purchase or sale of securities consistent with the investment policies of a Fund or one or more other accounts of the Affiliated Subadviser is considered at or about the same time, transactions in such securities must be allocated among the accounts in a manner deemed equitable by the Affiliated Subadviser. In addition, if transactions of a Fund and another client are combined, as permitted by applicable laws and regulations, such transactions must be consistent with the Affiliated Subadviser’s policies and procedures as presented to the Board from time to time.
As more fully described inAppendix L, certain of the Current Subadvisory Agreements address some, but not all, of these potential conflicts.
The New Subadvisory Agreement also permits the Affiliated Subadviser to delegate to an affiliate or employees of an affiliate certain of its duties under the Agreement, as long as the Affiliated Subadviser supervises the affiliate or the employees. Any such arrangement must be entered into in accordance with the 1940 Act and does not relieve the Affiliated Subadviser of any of its obligations under the Agreement. The Current Subadvisory Agreements do not a have similar provision.
Limitation on Liability. Under the New Subadvisory Agreements, the Affiliated Subadvisers assume no responsibility other than to render the services called for by the Agreement in good faith, and the Affiliated Subadvisers are not liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law, or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission in the execution of securities transactions for a Fund. An Affiliated Subadviser is not protected however, for willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Agreement. This same limitation of liability applies to affiliates of the Affiliated Subadviser who may provide services to the Fund as contemplated by the New Subadvisory Agreement.
Except as described inAppendix L, each Current Subadvisory Agreement contains similar provisions which limit the liability of the Affiliated Subadviser to the Fund, except for liability for willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence on its part in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Agreement. Many of the Current Subadvisory Agreements, however, do not specifically mention losses arising out of any investment act or omission in the execution of securities transactions for a Fund. Certain of the Agreements also require the Affiliated Subadviser to exercise its best judgment in rendering services under the Agreement, but, unlike the New Subadvisory Agreements, do not also specifically require the Affiliated Subadviser to act in good faith. As noted above, however, both the Current Subadvisory Agreements and the New Subadvisory Agreements contain similar provisions
22
limiting the liability of the Affiliated Subadvisers. The Affiliated Subadvisers have informed the Boards that the same standard of care to which the Affiliated Subadvisers are subject under the Current Subadvisory Agreements is intended to apply under the New Subadvisory Agreements, as well. The differences between the Current Subadvisory Agreements and the New Subadvisory Agreements with respect to limitation on liability are more fully described inAppendix L.
Term and Continuance. If approved by shareholders of a Fund, the New Subadvisory Agreement for the Fund will terminate, unless sooner terminated as set forth therein, two years from the date of implementation. Thereafter, if not terminated, each New Subadvisory Agreement will continue in effect from year to year if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (i) by the Board or (ii) by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, provided that in either event the continuance is also approved by a majority of the Board Members who are not interested persons of any party to the New Subadvisory Agreement. The Current Subadvisory Agreements have similar provisions for their term and continuance, although the initial dates of the Agreements differ and the initial two-year period has elapsed in most cases.
Termination. The New Subadvisory Agreement for each Fund provides that the Agreement may be terminated at any time without the payment of any penalty by the Fund upon not more than sixty days’ and not less than thirty days’ written notice to the Affiliated Subadviser or by the Affiliated Subadviser upon not less than ninety days’ written notice to the Fund. A Fund may effect termination by action of the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, accompanied by appropriate notice. Both the Current Management Agreement and the New Management Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of their “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act). As described inAppendix L, the Current Subadvisory Agreements contain similar termination provisions.
The New Subadvisory Agreement includes an Annex only applicable to CAM Ltd. which is regulated in the United Kingdom by the Financial Services Authority, and is required to include certain disclosures in its advisory agreements.
For Funds with Third Party Subadvisers, you will be asked to approve a New Subadvisory Agreement between your Fund’s Adviser and the Subadviser that will be substantially identical to the Current Subadvisory Agreements in effect for the Funds except for the dates of execution and termination. The forms of the New Subadvisory Agreements are attached hereto asAppendix M.
Comparison of Current Subadvisory Agreements to the New Subadvisory Agreements
As noted above, under the requirements of the 1940 Act, each Fund is required to enter into a New Subadvisory Agreement as a result of the Transaction. Each Third Party Subadviser will continue to provide the same level of advisory services to each Fund and the Adviser under the New Subadvisory Agreement as it provides under the Current Subadvisory Agreement. The following description of the terms of the New Subadvisory Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the forms of New Subadvisory Agreements attached hereto inAppendix L.
Investment Management Services. The New Subadvisory Agreement with each of Hansberger, Olstein and AEW provides that, subject to the supervision of the Fund’s Board Members and its Adviser, the Third Party Subadviser will furnish a continuous investment program with respect to that portion of a Fund’s assets allocated to the Third Party Subadviser by the Adviser. The Third Party Subadviser will determine from time to time what securities and other investments will be purchased, retained or sold by the Fund, and will implement those decisions, all in a manner consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies stated in the Fund’s governing documents. Under the New Subadvisory Agreement with Causeway, the Third Party Subadviser is instead required to provide a model portfolio, identifying securities, investments or other assets to be purchased, held or sold and their respective weightings, which instructions are then implemented by the Adviser. The model portfolio is required to comply with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies as stated in the Fund’s current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. Causeway is also permitted, generally upon at least six months’ notice to the Fund and the Adviser, to cease accepting additional Fund assets for which it will provide investment advice. The Adviser, and not the Third Party Subadviser, shall select broker-dealers and place all purchase and sale orders for portfolio transactions on behalf of the Fund in its discretion.
Each Third Party Subadviser is required to employ professional portfolio managers and securities analysts who provide research services to the Fund. Additionally, under the New Subadvisory Agreement with AEW, the Subadviser agrees to assist in supervising the Fund’s operations.
23
In selecting brokers or dealers to execute transactions on behalf of the Fund, each of Hansberger, Olstein and AEW is required to seek the best overall terms available, after giving consideration to those factors that it deems relevant, such as the breadth of the market in the security, the price of the security, the financial condition and execution capability of the broker or dealer and the reasonableness of the commission, if any, for the specific transaction and on a continuing basis. The Third Party Subadviser may select brokers or dealers who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Fund and/or other accounts over which the Third Party Subadviser or its affiliates exercise investment discretion, a practice commonly referred to as “soft dollars.” Additionally, the New Subadvisory Agreements with Hansberger and Olstein provide that the Third Party Subadviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for a Fund which is in excess of the amount of commission or spread another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Third Party Subadviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities that the Third Party Subadviser and its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. In the case of Causeway, which provides a model portfolio but does not execute transactions on behalf of the Fund, the applicable Adviser is responsible for selecting brokers and dealers and for executing transactions.
The New Subadvisory Agreements with Hansberger and Olstein further provide that, unless instructed otherwise by the Adviser, the Third Party Subadviser will use its good faith judgment in a manner it reasonably believes best serves the Fund’s shareholders to vote or abstain from voting proxies solicited with respect to securities in which the Fund is invested. The New Subadvisory Agreement with Causeway requires it, unless otherwise directed by the Adviser or the Fund’s Board, to direct the Adviser to vote proxies and to take action with respect to corporate action elections for proxies and corporate action information with respect to the securities within the portion of the Fund for which Causeway provides investment advice. The New Subadvisory Agreement with AEW does not specifically address proxy voting on behalf of the Fund.
Fees. There is no change in the fees payable to the Third Party Subadvisers for investment management services under the New Subadvisory Agreements. The current fees payable to each Third Party Subadviser are set forth inAppendix F.
Payment of Expenses. Each New Subadvisory Agreement requires the Third Party Subadviser to bear all expenses in connection with the performance of its services under the New Subadvisory Agreement (other than brokerage commissions, custodian fees, auditors fees and certain other expenses). Except for these expenses, the Third Party Subadviser is not responsible for a Fund’s expenses.
Other Activities of the Third Party Subadviser. The New Subadvisory Agreements with Hansberger, AEW and Causeway provide that each Third Party Subadviser and its personnel may render investment advisory services to other entities, including other investment companies. These New Subadvisory Agreements also provide that whenever the Fund and one or more other clients advised by the Third Party Subadviser have funds available for investment, investments that are suitable and appropriate for each will be allocated in accordance with a formula believed to be equitable to each client, even though in some cases this procedure may adversely affect the size of the position obtainable for the Fund.
The New Subadvisory Agreement with Olstein restricts the Olstein from serving as an adviser or subadviser to any other registered investment company offered to retail investors, except for The Olstein Financial Alert Fund or any investment company permitted by the Manager and the Fund’s Board. The Subadvisory Agreement with Olstein does not specifically address allocation of investment opportunities.
Limitation on Liability. Under each New Subadvisory Agreement, the Third Party Subadviser assumes no responsibility other than to exercise its best judgment (and, in the case of the Subadvisory Agreements with Hansberger, Olstein and Causeway, to act in good faith) in rendering the services called for by the agreement, and the Third Party Subadviser is not liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law, or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission in the execution of securities transactions for the Fund (though liability relating to execution of transactions is not addressed in the New Subadvisory Agreement with Causeway, which does not provide that service). The New Subadvisory Agreement with Causeway also states that Causeway is not liable for claims arising from (i) breaches of the agreement by the Adviser, (ii) the Adviser’s or the Fund’s violation of any applicable law or regulation, unless the violation was the result of actions taken or not taken by Causeway or information provided by Causeway, (iii) material misstatements or omissions in certain Fund documents, unless the misstatement or omission related to Causeway or services to be provided by Causeway and is based on information furnished by Causeway, (iv) the offer and sale of common shares of the Fund unless such liability arises from
24
statements made or documents delivered by the Subadviser in its provision of assistance to the Fund or the Fund’s distributors in their efforts to sell shares of the Fund or (v) any error in judgment or mistake of law or any loss suffered by the Fund or the Adviser in connection with the matters to which the Subadvisory Agreement relates. Under each New Subadvisory Agreement, the Third Party Subadviser is not protected, however, for willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Agreement.
Term and Continuance. If approved by shareholders of a Fund, the New Subadvisory Agreement for the Fund will terminate, unless sooner terminated as set forth therein, two years from the date of implementation. Thereafter, if not terminated, each New Subadvisory Agreement will continue in effect from year to year if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (i) by the Board or (ii) by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, provided that in either event the continuance is also approved by a majority of the Board Members who are not interested persons of any party to the New Subadvisory Agreement.
Termination. The New Subadvisory Agreement for each Fund generally provides that the Agreement may be terminated at any time without the payment of any penalty by the Fund, the Fund’s Adviser or the Third Party Subadviser on sixty (60) days’ written notice to the other party, with the following exceptions: (a) the Subadvisory Agreement with AEW requires ninety (90) days’ written notice for termination by the Third Party Subadviser or the Adviser, and (b) under the Subadvisory Agreements with Olstein and Causeway, if there has not been a material breach of the agreement, the Adviser must provide one hundred eighty (180) days’ written notice of termination. A Fund may effect termination by action of the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, accompanied by appropriate notice. Each New Subadvisory Agreement will also terminate automatically in the event of its “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act).
At the meetings held during the first two weeks of August 2005 at which the Boards approved the New Management Agreements, the Board of each Fund, including the Independent Board Members, also approved the New Subadvisory Agreement between each of the Advisers and the applicable Subadviser. The exact date of each Board’s meeting is noted inAppendix G.
To assist the Boards in their consideration of the New Subadvisory Agreements, the Boards received in advance of their meetings certain materials and information. In addition, the Independent Board Members consulted with their counsel on numerous occasions, discussing, among other things, the legal standards and certain other considerations relevant to the Board Members’ deliberations.
At each Board’s August meeting, representatives of CAM and Legg Mason made presentations to and responded to questions from the Board. After the presentations and after reviewing the written materials provided, the Independent Board Members met in executive session with their Independent counsel to consider the New Subadvisory Agreements.
Among other things, the Board Members considered:
(i) the current responsibilities of each Subadviser and the services currently provided by it;
(ii) as to the Affiliated Subadvisers, Legg Mason’s combination plans, as described in Item 1 above;
(iii) that as to the Affiliated Subadvisers, CAM management and Legg Mason have advised the Boards that following the Transaction, there is not expected to be any diminution in the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Funds and their shareholders by the Subadvisers;
(iv) that the Third Party Subadvisers are not part of the Transaction, and that the Transaction is expected to have no effect on the services to be provided by those Subadvisers or their ability to provide them;
(v) the fact that the fees paid to each Subadviser (which are paid by the applicable Adviser and not the Fund) will not increase by virtue of the New Subadvisory Agreements, but will remain the same;
(vi) the terms and conditions of the New Subadvisory Agreements, including the differences from the Current Subadvisory Agreements (see “Comparison of Current Subadvisory Agreements to the New Subadvisory Agreement” above), and, with respect to the Affiliated Subadvisers, the benefits of a single, uniform form of agreement covering these services;
25
(vii) that each Board had within the past year performed a full annual review of or initially approved, if applicable, the Current Subadvisory Agreements as required by the 1940 Act and had determined that each applicable Subadviser has the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide the advisory services currently provided to each relevant Fund; and that the advisory fees paid by the Adviser to the Subadviser represent reasonable compensation to the Subadviser in light of the services provided, the costs to the Subadviser of providing those services, the fees paid by similar funds, and such other matters as the Board Members considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment (the date of each Board’s most recent full annual review of the Current Subadvisory Agreements is noted inAppendix F);
(viii) that the Funds would not bear the costs of obtaining shareholder approval of the New Subadvisory Agreements; and
(ix) the factors enumerated and/or discussed in Item 1 above, to the extent relevant.
Certain of these considerations are discussed in more detail below.
In their deliberations, the Board Members did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board Members evaluated all information available to them on a fund-by-fund basis, and their determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund. The Board Members, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, concluded that the terms of the New Subadvisory Agreements are fair and reasonable, that the fees stated therein are reasonable in light of the services to be provided to each Fund, and that the New Subadvisory Agreements should be approved and recommended to Fund shareholders.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services Provided
In evaluating the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by the Affiliated Subadvisers under the New Subadvisory Agreements, the Board Members considered, among other things, the expected impact, if any, of the Transaction on the operations, facilities, organization and personnel of each Affiliated Subadviser; the ability of each Affiliated Subadviser to perform its duties after the Transaction; and any anticipated changes to the current investment and other practices of the Funds.
The Board Members considered Legg Mason’s advice that it intends to combine the fixed income investment operations of CAM with those of Western Asset and may also wish to combine other CAM operations with those of other Legg Mason subsidiaries. The Board Members noted that Western Asset is an experienced and respected institutional asset manager that focuses on managing fixed income assets on behalf of institutional separate accounts, retirement plans and other institutional investors, including mutual funds. The Board Members further noted that, as of June 30, 2005, Western Asset managed approximately $230 billion in assets on behalf of its clients. The Board Members considered Legg Mason’s advice that, after the closing of the sale, Legg Mason will take steps to combine the investment management operations of Western Asset with the fixed income operations of the Advisers and, in relevant cases, the Affiliated Subadvisers to the Funds, which, among other things, may involve Western Asset, the Advisers and, in relevant cases, the Affiliated Subadvisers to the Funds sharing common systems and procedures, employees (including portfolio managers), investment and trading platforms, and other resources. The Board Members also considered Legg Mason’s advice that it is expected that these combination processes will result in changes to portfolio managers or portfolio management teams for a number of the Funds, subject to Board consent and appropriate notice to shareholders, and that, in other cases, the current portfolio managers or portfolio management teams will remain in place. The Board Members also considered Legg Mason’s advice that in the future, Legg Mason may recommend that Western Asset or other Legg Mason subsidiaries be appointed as the adviser or subadviser to some or all of the Funds, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.
Based on their review of the materials provided and the assurances they had received from CAM management and Legg Mason, the Board Members determined that the Transaction was not expected to adversely affect the nature, quality and extent of services provided by each Affiliated Subadviser and that the Transaction was not expected to materially adversely affect the ability of the Subadvisers to provide those services. It was noted, however, that a limited number of portfolio managers and other personnel have entered into retention and/or employment agreements with the Adviser, the Affiliated Subadvisers or Legg Mason covering periods before and after the closing of the Transaction, and, as noted above, it is expected that there will be changes in personnel following the closing of the Transaction. The Board Members noted that if current portfolio managers and other personnel ceased to be available, each Board would consider all available options, which could include seeking the investment advisory and other services of Legg Mason affiliates. In this regard, it was noted that Legg Mason has indicated that it could potentially make available to the Affiliated Subadvisers additional portfolio management resources in the event of loss of CAM personnel for particular investment disciplines.
26
In evaluating the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by the Third Party Subadvisers under the New Subadvisory Agreements, the Board Members considered, among other things, that the Third Party Subadvisers are not part of the Transaction, and that the Transaction is expected to have no effect on the services to be provided by those Subadvisers or their ability to provide them. Accordingly, the Board Members concluded that, overall, they were satisfied at the present time with the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Funds under the New Subadvisory Agreements.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability
In evaluating the costs of the services to be provided by the Subadvisers under the New Subadvisory Agreements and the profitability to the Subadvisers of their relationships with the Funds, the Board Members noted that the Funds do not pay the subadvisory fee and considered, among other things, whether the subadvisory fees would change as a result of the Transaction. Based on their review of the materials provided and the assurances they had received from CAM management and Legg Mason, the Board Members determined that the Transaction would not increase the fees payable for subadvisory services. The Board Members noted that it was not possible to predict how the Transaction would affect the Affiliated Subadvisers’ profitability from their relationship with the Funds. They also noted that the transaction was not expected to affect the Third Party Subadvisers’ profitability from their relationship with the Funds. In each case, the Board Members noted that they had been satisfied in their most recent review of the Current Subadvisory Agreements that each Subadviser’s level of profitability from its relationship with the relevant Fund and the Adviser was not excessive. Accordingly, the Board Members concluded that, overall, they were satisfied that currently, each Subadviser’s level of profitability from its relationship with each Fund was not excessive.
Concerning the Affiliated Subadvisers, the Board Members recognized that Legg Mason may realize economies of scale from the Transaction based on certain consolidations and synergies of operations. The Board Members noted that they expect to receive Subadviser profitability information on an annual basis and thus be in a position to evaluate whether any adjustments in subadvisory fees would be appropriate.
Fall-Out Benefits
In evaluating the fall-out benefits to be received by the Affiliated Subadvisers under the New Subadvisory Agreements, the Board Members considered whether the Transaction would have an impact on the fall-out benefits received by virtue of the Current Subadvisory Agreements. Based on their review of the materials provided and their discussions with CAM management and Legg Mason, the Board Members determined that the Transaction could increase the benefits to be received in connection with the New Subadvisory Agreements. The Board Members noted that any such benefits were difficult to quantify with certainty at this time, and indicated that they would evaluate them going forward.
In evaluating the fall-out benefits to be received by the Third Party Subadvisers under the New Subadvisory Agreements, the Board Members considered that the Third Party Subadvisers are not part of the Transaction, that the Transaction is expected to have no effect on the services to be provided by those Subadvisers or their ability to provide them, and that any fall-out benefits to those Subadvisers were not expected to increase as a result of the Transaction.
Fees
In reviewing the New Subadvisory Agreements and in considering the Transaction, the Board Members considered, among other things, whether subadvisory fees would change as a result of the Transaction. Based on the assurances they had received from CAM management and Legg Mason, the Board Members determined that the Transaction would not increase the subadvisory fees paid with respect to any Fund. The Board Members had determined at their most recent annual review of the Current Subadvisory Agreements, that each Fund’s fees for subadvisory services were reasonable in light of the services provided. It was noted that in conjunction with the recent review of the Current Subadvisory Agreements, the Board Members had received, among other things, a report from Lipper comparing each Fund’s fees, expenses and performance to those of a peer group for that Fund selected by Lipper. The Board Members concluded that because subadvisory fees were not expected to increase as a result of the Transaction, each Fund’s fees for subadvisory services remain appropriate and that no additional fee reductions were necessary at this time.
Investment Performance
The Board Members noted that investment performance for many Funds was satisfactory or better, and that CAM management was taking steps to address investment performance in other Funds. Following the closing of the Transaction,
27
these steps may include combining certain CAM operations with thoseof certain Legg Mason subsidiaries. The Boards noted Legg Mason’s considerable investment management experience and capabilities, but were unable to predict what effect, if any, consummation of the Transaction would have on the future performance of the Funds.

28
To become effective with respect to a particular Fund, each New Subadvisory Agreement must be approved by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. The “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities” is defined in the 1940 Act as the lesser of the vote of (a) 67% or more of the voting power of the voting securities of the Fund that are present at the Meeting or represented by proxy if holders of shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund are present or represented by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. Each New Subadvisory Agreement was approved by the Independent Board Members, separately, and by the Board of the applicable Fund, as a whole, after consideration of all factors which it determined to be relevant to its deliberations, including those discussed above. The Board of each Fund also determined to submit the Fund’s New Subadvisory Agreement for consideration by the shareholders of the Fund.
The Board of each Fund with a Current Subadvisory Agreement recommends that shareholders of the Fund vote FOR the approval of the New Subadvisory Agreement.
The purpose of this proposal is to elect the Directors/Trustees of the Boards of each open-end Trust/Corporation.
Each Board oversees more than one Trust or Corporation and supervises more than one Fund, except as noted below. The shareholders of each Fund will vote for the election of Directors/Trustees of the Board that supervises their Fund. It is intended that the enclosed Proxy Card will be voted for all nominees (each a “Nominee” and, collectively, the “Nominees”) for the Board that supervises the applicable Fund, as shown below, unless a proxy contains specific instructions to the contrary.
If you are a shareholder of a closed-end fund that is supervised by any of the Boards, you are not being asked to elect Board Members at this time.

The Board Members have adopted a Retirement Plan for all Board Members who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, within the meaning of the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, all Board Members are required to retire from the Board as of the last day of the calendar year in which the applicable Board Members attain age 75. Board Members may retire under the Plan before attaining the mandatory retirement age. Board Members who have served as a Board Member of any of the investment companies associated with Citigroup, including the Funds, for at least ten years when they retire are eligible to receive the maximum retirement benefit under the Plan. The maximum retirement benefit is an amount equal to five times the amount of retainer and regular meeting fees payable to a Board Member during the calendar year ending on or immediately prior to the applicable Board Member’s retirement. Each Board Member is first eligible to receive the minimum retirement benefit under the Plan (50% of the maximum benefit) after five years of service and attainment of at least the age of 67. Retirement benefit eligibility increases proportionally with each additional year of service until eligibility for the maximum benefit has been attained. Amounts under the Plan may be paid in twenty equal quarterly installments or, if the applicable disinterested Board Member has made a timely election, in a lump sum (discounted to present value). Benefits under the Plan are unfunded.
The following table shows the estimated retirement benefit that would be payable under the Plan upon retirement at the specified compensation and years-of-service classifications.

Assuming continuous service as a Board Member of the Fund until the age of mandatory retirement under the Plan, each disinterested Board Member will have achieved at least ten credited years of service and will be eligible for the maximum retirement benefit under the Plan. During the Most Recent Year, former Board Members received the following retirement benefits under the Plan: Mr. Riley C. Gilley and Mr. E. Kirby Warren each received an aggregate of $70,000 in four quarterly installment payments; each of Mr. C. Oscar Morong, Jr. and Mr. Walter E. Robb III received $355,299 in a lump sum payment.
As of June 30, 2005, all Board Members and officers as a group owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.
Master/Feeder Funds
For the following Funds Only: Citi Cash Reserves, Citi Institutional Cash Reserves, Citi Institutional Liquid Reserves, Citi Institutional Tax Free Reserves, Citi Institutional U.S. Treasury Reserves, Citi Premium Liquid Reserves, Citi Premium U.S. Treasury Reserves, Citi Tax Free Reserves, Citi U.S. Treasury Reserves and Citi Institutional Enhanced Income Fund.
55
Each of these Funds, a so-called Feeder Fund, invests in securities through another mutual fund, a so-called Master Fund, that has the same investment objectives and policies as the Feeder Funds investing in it, in a structure commonly referred to as a master-feeder structure. Each Master Fund currently has the same Board Members as the Feeder Funds investing in it. Each Master Fund has called a meeting of its investors to vote on the election of Board Members. All of the Nominees named in the tables above are currently Board Members of the Master Funds and are standing for election. Each Feeder Fund, as in investor in a Master Fund, will cast its votes on the election of Board Members in the same proportion as the votes cast at the Meetings by the Feeder Fund’s shareholders on this Item 3. The percentage of the Feeder Fund’s votes representing shareholders not voting at the Meeting will be voted in the same proportion as the votes cast by Feeder Fund shareholders who do in fact vote. By voting in favor of a Nominee, you are authorizing your Fund to vote to elect that same Nominee to the Master Fund’s Board.

Indemnification of Board Members and Officers
The governing documents of each Trust/Corporation provide that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Trust/Corporation will indemnify its Board Members and officers against liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with litigation in which they may be involved because of their offices with the Trust/Corporation, unless, as to liability to the Trust/Corporation or its investors, it is finally adjudicated that they engaged in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in their offices. The Funds organized under Massachusetts law generally prohibit indemnification where it is finally adjudicated that those seeking indemnification did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that their actions were in the best interests of the Trust/Corporation. For Funds incorporated under Maryland law, indemnification is not permitted in the case of actions or omissions committed in bad faith or as a result of active and deliberate dishonesty, or with respect to which an improper personal benefit was received or, in the case of a criminal proceeding, committed with reasonable cause to believe that the action or omission was unlawful.
Standing Committees of the Boards
The business affairs of each Trust/Corporation are managed by or under the direction of its Board.
Each Board has a standing Audit Committee comprising all Board Members who are not “interested persons,” within the meaning of the 1940 Act, of the Trust/Corporation and who are “independent,” as defined in the NYSE listing standards.(1) The Audit Committee reviews the scope of the Trust’s/Corporation’s audit, accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and internal controls. The primary purposes of each Board’s Audit Committee are to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the integrity of the accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices of the Trust/Corporation, the qualifications and independence of the Trust’s/Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm, and the Trust’s/Corporation’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee approves, and recommends to the independent Board Members for their ratification, the selection, appointment, retention or termination of the Trust’s/Corporation’s independent auditors and approves the compensation of the independent auditors. The Audit
76
Committee also approves all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the Trust’s/Corporation’s independent auditors to its manager or advisor and any affiliated service providers if the engagement relates directly to the Trust’s/Corporation’s operations and financial reporting of the Trust/Corporation. During the Most Recent Year, each Audit Committee met the following number of times:
Board | Number of Meetings | |
I | 1 | |
II | 4 | |
III | 4 | |
IV | 2 | |
V | 4(2) | |
VI | 2 | |
VII | ||
VIII | 4 |
Each Board has a standing governance or nominating committee. All Board Members who are not “interested persons,” within the meaning of the 1940 Act, are members of the governance or nominating committee.(3)
Each governance or nominating committee is responsible for, among other things, recommending candidates to fill vacancies on the Board. Each governance or nominating committee met the following number of times in the Most Recent Year:
Board | Number of Meetings | |
I | 0 | |
II | 0 | |
III | 0 | |
IV | 0 | |
V | 1 | |
VI | 0 | |
VII | ||
VIII | 4 |
Each governance and nominating committee may consider nominees recommended by a shareholder. Shareholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send recommendations to the Trust’s/Corporation’s Secretary that include all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of Board Members. A recommendation must be accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated by the Board and to serve if elected by the shareholders.
(1) | The Board III Audit Committee is comprised of Mr. Abraham, Ms. Dasher and Mr. Toolan. |
(2) | The Audit Committee of Greenwich Street Series Fund, Smith Barney Appreciation Fund Inc., Smith Barney Arizona Municipals Fund Inc., Smith Barney Investment Trust, Smith Barney Massachusetts Municipals Fund and Smith Barney Sector Series Inc. met three times during the Most Recent Year. |
(3) | The Board III Governance Committee is comprised of Mr. Abraham, Mr. Foley and Mr. Hansen. |
Each nominating or governance committee identifies potential nominees through its network of contacts and may also engage, if it deems appropriate, a professional search firm. The committee meets to discuss and consider such candidates’ qualifications and then chooses a candidate by majority vote. None of the committees has specific, minimum qualifications for nominees, and none has established specific qualities or skills that it regards as necessary for one or more of the Board Members to possess (other than any qualities or skills that may be required by applicable law, regulation or listing standard). However, in evaluating a person as a potential nominee to serve as a Board Member, the nominating or governance committee may consider the following factors, among any others it may deem relevant:
• | whether or not the person is an “interested person,” as defined in the 1940 Act, and whether the person is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a Board Member; |
• | whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence, such as any business, financial or family relationships with Fund management, the investment adviser, service providers or their affiliates; |
77
• | whether or not the person serves on boards of, or is otherwise affiliated with, competing financial service organizations or their related mutual fund complexes; |
• | whether or not the person is willing to serve, and willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties of a Board Member; |
• | the contribution which the person can make to the Board (or, if the person has previously served as a Board Member, the contribution which the person made to the Board during his or her previous term of service), with consideration being given to the person’s business and professional experience, education and such other factors as the committee may consider relevant; |
• | the character and integrity of the person; and |
• | whether or not the selection and nomination of the person would be consistent with the requirements of the retirement policies of the Trust/Corporation, as applicable. |
Several Boards have additional standing committees, as follows:
Board III
The Board has an Investment Committee responsible for reviewing the investment performance of each Fund. The Investment Committee met four times during the Most Recent Fiscal Year.
Board IV
The Board has a Compensation Committee co-chaired by Messrs. Frayn and Johnson which is charged with establishing the appropriate compensation for the Board. The Compensation Committee did not meet during the Most Recent Year.
The Board has a Pricing Committee composed of the Chairman of the Board and one independent director which is charged with determining the fair value prices for securities when required. The Pricing Committee met one time during the Most Recent Year.
Board V
The Board has a Pricing Committee composed of the Chairman of the Board and one independent director which is charged with determining the fair value prices for securities when required. During the Most Recent Year, the Pricing Committee did not meet.
Board VIII
The Board has a Performance and Review Committee comprised of all Board Members who are not “interested persons” within the meaning of the 1940 Act. The Performance and Review Committee is responsible for, among other things, reviewing performance and benchmarks and overseeing the implementation and renewal of each Fund’s management contract, applicable distribution plans and distribution agreement. The Performance and Review Committee met four times during the Most Recent Year.
Attendance of Board Members at Annual Meeting
No Trust/Corporation has a policy with regard to attendance of Board Members at annual meetings. The number of Board Members of each Board who attended last year’s annual meeting, if an annual meeting was held, is set forth below:
Board | Number of Members at Annual Meeting | |
I | No annual meeting | |

Legal Proceedings Relating to Citigroup Affiliates and Certain of the Nominees
Beginning in June 2004, class action lawsuits alleging violations of the federal securities laws were filed against CGMI and a number of its affiliates, including SBFM and SBAM (the “Managers”), substantially all of the mutual funds managed by the Managers (the “Defendant Funds”), and Directors or Trustees of the Defendant Funds (collectively, the “Defendants”). The complaints alleged, among other things, that CGMI created various undisclosed incentives for its brokers to sell Smith Barney and Salomon Brothers funds. In addition, according to the complaints, the Managers caused the Defendant Funds to pay excessive brokerage commissions to CGMI for steering clients towards proprietary funds. The complaints also alleged that the defendants breached their fiduciary duty to the Defendant Funds by improperly charging Rule 12b-1 fees and by drawing on fund assets to make undisclosed payments of soft dollars and excessive brokerage commissions. The complaints also alleged that the Defendant Funds failed to adequately disclose certain of the allegedly wrongful conduct. The complaints sought injunctive relief and compensatory and punitive damages, rescission of the Defendant Funds’ contracts with the Managers, recovery of all fees paid to the Managers pursuant to such contracts and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
On December 15, 2004, a consolidated amended complaint (the “Complaint”) was filed alleging substantially similar causes of action. While the lawsuit is in its earliest stages, to the extent that the Complaint purports to state causes of action against the Defendant Funds, CAM believes the Defendant Funds have significant defenses to such allegations, which the Defendant Funds intend to vigorously assert in responding to the Complaint.
Additional lawsuits arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Defendant Funds in the future.
By Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent dated March 18, 2005, CGMI accepted and consented, without admitting or denying the allegations or findings, to the entry of findings by the NASD arising from CGMI’s sales of Class B and Class C shares of mutual funds in approximately 18,000 customer households and approximately 90,000 transactions between January 1, 2002 and June 30, 2003. CGMI, through its registered representatives, known as financial consultants (“FCs”), either did not adequately disclose at the point of sale, or did not adequately consider in connection with its recommendations to customers to purchase Class B and Class C shares, the differences in share classes and that an equal investment in Class A shares would generally have been more advantageous for the customers.
In particular, the FCs did not consider that large investments in Class A shares of mutual funds entitle customers to breakpoint discounts on sales charges, generally beginning at the $50,000 investment level, which are not available for investments in Class B shares. In fact, customers may be entitled to breakpoints based upon a single mutual fund purchase, multiple purchases in the same “family of funds,” and/or mutual fund investments held, at the time of the new purchase, by members of the customer’s “household,” as that term is defined in the prospectus of the fund in which the shares are being purchased. Class B shares are also subject to contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSCs”) for a period of time, generally six years, as well as higher ongoing Rule 12b-1 fees for as long as the Class B shares are held. The CDSCs and/or the higher ongoing Rule 12b-1 fees significantly impact the return on customers’ mutual fund investments.
In addition, CGMI’s supervisory and compliance policies and procedures were not reasonably designed to ensure that FCs consistently provided adequate disclosure of, or consideration to, the benefits of the various share classes as they applied to individual customers. As a result of the foregoing, CGMI violated NASD Conduct Rules 2110, 2310, and 3010.
On May 31, 2005, the SEC issued an order in connection with the settlement of an administrative proceeding against SBFM and CGMI relating to the appointment of an affiliated transfer agent for the Smith Barney family of mutual funds (the “Smith Barney Funds”).
The SEC order finds that SBFM and CGMI willfully violated Section 206(1) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”). Specifically, the order finds that SBFM and CGMI knowingly or recklessly failed to disclose to the Boards of the Smith Barney Funds in 1999 when proposing a new transfer agent arrangement with an affiliated transfer agent that: First Data Investors Services Group (“First Data”), the Smith Barney Funds’ then-existing transfer agent, had offered to continue as transfer agent and do the same work for substantially less money than before; and that CAM, the Citigroup business unit that includes the Smith Barney Fund’s investment manager and other investment advisory companies, had

entered into a side letter with First Data under which CAM agreed to recommend the appointment of First Data as sub- transfer agent to the affiliated transfer agent in exchange, among other things, for a guarantee by First Data of specified amounts of asset management and investment banking fees to CAM and CGMI. The order also finds that SBFM and CGMI willfully violated Section 206(2) of the Advisers Act by virtue of the omissions discussed above and other misrepresentations and omissions in the materials provided to the Smith Barney Funds’ Boards, including the failure to make clear that the affiliated transfer agent would earn a high profit for performing limited functions while First Data continued to perform almost all of the transfer agent functions, and the suggestion that the proposed arrangement was in the Smith Barney Funds’ best interests and that no viable alternatives existed. SBFM and CGMI do not admit or deny any wrongdoing or liability. The settlement does not establish wrongdoing or liability for purposes of any other proceeding.
The SEC censured SBFM and CGMI and ordered them to cease and desist from violations of Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Advisers Act. The order requires Citigroup to pay $208.1 million, including $109 million in disgorgement of profits, $19.1 million in interest, and a civil money penalty of $80 million. Approximately $24.4 million has already been paid to the Smith Barney Funds, primarily through fee waivers. The remaining $183.7 million, including the penalty, has been paid to the U.S. Treasury and will be distributed pursuant to a plan to be prepared by Citigroup and submitted within 90 days of the entry of the order for approval by the SEC. The order also requires that transfer agency fees received from the Smith Barney Funds since December 1, 2004 less certain expenses be placed in escrow and provides that a portion of such fees may be subsequently distributed in accordance with the terms of the order.
The order requires SBFM to recommend a new transfer agent contract to the Smith Barney Fund Boards within 180 days of the entry of the order; if a Citigroup affiliate submits a proposal to serve as transfer agent or sub-transfer agent, an independent monitor must be engaged at the expense of SBFM and CGMI to oversee a competitive bidding process. Under the order, Citigroup also must comply with an amended version of a vendor policy that Citigroup instituted in August 2004. That policy, as amended, among other things, requires that when requested by a Smith Barney Fund Board, CAM will retain at its own expense an independent consulting expert to advise and assist the Board on the selection of certain service providers affiliated with Citigroup.
At this time, there is no certainty as to how the proceeds of the settlement will be distributed, to whom such distributions will be made, the methodology by which such distributions will be allocated, and when such distributions will be made.
It is possible that these matters and/or related developments may result in increased Fund redemptions and reduced sales of Fund shares, which could result in increased costs and expenses or otherwise adversely affect a Fund.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this Joint Proxy Statement. Additional lawsuits presenting allegations and requests for relief arising out of or in connection with any of the foregoing matters may be filed against these and related parties in the future.
Proposal 3, the election of the Nominees, whose term of office will commence on or about , must be approved by a plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Meeting at which a quorum exists. The votes of each Fund in the same Trust/Corporation will be counted together with respect to the election of the Nominees to the Board.
The Board of each Fund recommends that shareholders of the Fund vote FOR the election of each of the Nominees to the Board.
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board Members, including a majority of the Independent Board Members have selected KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Funds. KPMG, in accordance with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (ISB No. 1), has confirmed to each Audit Committee that it is an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Funds.
80
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC’) served as the independent registered public accounting firm of certain Funds* for the two most recent fiscal years. PwC resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for those Funds effective June 22, 2005. Each affected Fund’s Audit Committee approved the engagement of KPMG as the Fund’s new independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund’s current fiscal year. A majority of the Fund’s Board Members, including a majority of the independent Board Members, approved the appointment of KPMG, subject to the right of the Fund, by a majority vote of the shareholders at any meeting called for that purpose, to terminate the appointment without penalty.
The reports of PwC on each Fund’s financial statements for each of the last two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. There have been no disagreements with PwC during each Fund’s two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years.
No representatives of KPMG or PwC will be present at the Meetings.
Appendix O sets forth for each Fund, for each of the applicable Fund’s two most recent fiscal years, the fees billed by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for all audit and non-audit services provided directly to the Fund. The fee information inAppendix O is presented under the following captions:
(i) Audit Fees—fees related to the audit and review of the financial statements included in annual reports and registration statements, and other services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.
(ii) Audit-Related Fees—fees related to assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements, but not reported under “Audit Fees,” including accounting consultations, agreed-upon procedure reports, attestation reports, comfort letters and internal control reviews not required by regulators.
(iii) Tax Fees—fees associated with tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning, including services relating to the filing or amendment of federal, state or local income tax returns, regulated investment company qualification reviews and tax distribution and analysis reviews.
(iv) All Other Fees—fees for products and services provided to the Fund other than those reported under “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees” and “Tax Fees.”
The charter of each Audit Committee requires that the Audit Committee shall approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided to each Fund and (b) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the Fund’s independent auditors to the investment adviser and any service providers controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment 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 Audit Committee may implement policies and procedures by which such services are approved other than by the full Committee.
No Audit Committee may approve non-audit services that the Committee believes may impair the independence of the auditors. 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 a 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.

81
Pre-approval by the Audit 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 a Fund, its Adviser and any Covered Service Provider 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 Covered Service Provider during the fiscal year in which services are provided that would not 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 Audit Committee and approved by the Committee (or its delegate(s)) prior to completion of the audit.
For each Fund’s two most recent fiscal years, there were no services rendered by KPMG or PwC to the Funds for which the pre-approval requirement was waived.
In 2003 and 2004, PwC billed the Funds $3.5 million and $6.4 million, respectively, for non-audit services. In 2003 and 2004, KPMG billed the Funds $0 and $75,000, respectively, for non-audit services. In 2003 and 2004, PwC billed the Adviser or any Covered Service Provider $0 and $1.39 million, respectively, for non-audit services. In 2003 and 2004, KPMG did not bill the Adviser or any Covered Service Provider for non-audit services.
Each Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered by KPMG or PwC to the applicable Adviser and Covered Service Providers that were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval) is compatible with maintaining such auditor’s independence. All services provided by KPMG or PwC to each Fund, its Adviser or Covered Service Providers that were required to be pre-approved were pre-approved as required.
As of [insert record date], the persons listed inAppendix P owned of record the amounts indicated of the shares of the class of Funds indicated inAppendix P.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Interest Reporting Compliance
Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act and Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act require Board Members and officers, the investment adviser, affiliated persons of the investment adviser and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of a registered closed-end investment company’s equity securities to file forms reporting their affiliation with that closed-end investment company and reports of ownership and changes in ownership of that closed-end investment company’s shares with the SEC and the NYSE or American Stock Exchange, as applicable. These persons and entities are required by SEC regulations to furnish the closed-end investment company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Each of the Funds which is a Closed-end Fund is listed inAppendix C.
Based on a review of these forms furnished to each Closed-end Fund, each Closed-end Fund believes that its Board Members and officers, its Adviser and affiliated persons of its Adviser have complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during its last fiscal year. To the knowledge of management of the Closed-end Funds, no shareholder of a Closed-end Fund owns more than 10% of a registered class of a Closed-end Fund’s equity securities, except as set forth inAppendix P.
Submission of Shareholder Proposals
A shareholder proposal intended to be presented at a Closed-end Fund’s next annual meeting of shareholders must be (or must have been) received at the offices of that Closed-end Fund, 125 Broad Street, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10004, not later than the date specified inAppendix C. The submission by a shareholder of a proposal for inclusion in the proxy statement does not guarantee such proposal will be included in a proxy statement. Shareholder proposals are subject to certain regulations under the federal securities laws.
The persons named as proxies for a Closed-end Fund’s next annual meeting of the shareholders will have discretionary authority to vote on any matter presented by a shareholder for action at that meeting unless that Closed-end Fund receives (or received) notice of the matter by the date specified inAppendix C, in which case these persons will not have discretionary voting authority except as provided in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules governing shareholder proposals.
82
The open-end funds do not hold annual meetings of shareholders. A shareholder proposal intended to be presented at a future special meeting of shareholders of an open-end fund must be received at the offices of the Fund, 125 Broad Street, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10004, at a reasonable time before the Fund begins to print and mail its proxy materials. Timely submission of a proposal does not guarantee that such proposal will be included in a proxy statement.
Shareholders who want to communicate with the Board or any individual Board Member should write their Fund to the attention of Robert I. Frenkel, Secretary, 125 Broad St., 10th Floor, New York, New York 10004. The letter should indicate that you are a Fund shareholder. If the communication is intended for a specific Board Member and so indicates it will be sent only to that Board Member. If a communication does not indicate a specific Board Member it will be sent to the chair of the nominating and governance committee and the outside counsel to the Independent Board Members for further distribution as deemed appropriate by such persons.
The cost of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed proxy, accompanying notice and the Joint Proxy Statement and all other costs in connection with the solicitation of proxies will not be borne by the Funds and will be split equally between Citigroup and Legg Mason. Solicitation may be made by letter or telephone by officers or employees of the Adviser, or by dealers and their representatives. Brokerage houses, banks and other fiduciaries may be requested to forward proxy solicitation material to their principals to obtain authorization for the execution of proxies. Citigroup and Legg Mason will reimburse brokerage firms, custodians, banks and fiduciaries for their expenses in forwarding the Joint Proxy Statement and proxy materials to the beneficial owners of each Fund’s shares. In addition, CAM, on behalf of each Fund, has retained Georgeson Shareholder Communications Inc., 17 State Street, New York, New York 10004, a proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the solicitation of proxies. It is anticipated that Georgeson Shareholder Communications Inc. will be paid approximately [ $ ]for such solicitation services (plus reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses), to be shared equally between Citigroup and Legg Mason. Georgeson Shareholder Communications Inc. may solicit proxies personally and by telephone.
The fiscal year end of each Fund is as set forth inAppendix H.
Management does not intend to present and does not have reason to believe that any other items of business will be presented at the Meetings. However, if other matters are properly presented to the Meetings for a vote, the proxies will be voted by the persons acting under the proxies upon such matters in accordance with their judgment of the best interests of the Fund.
A list of shareholders entitled to be present and to vote at each Meeting will be available at the offices of the Funds, 125 Broad Street, New York, New York, for inspection by any shareholder during regular business hours beginning ten days prior to the date of the Meetings.
Failure of a quorum to be present at any Meeting will necessitate adjournment. The persons named in the enclosed proxy may also move for an adjournment of any Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to any of the proposals if they determine that adjournment and further solicitation is reasonable and in the best interests of the shareholders. Under each Fund’s By-Laws, an adjournment of a meeting requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting.
Please vote promptly by completing, signing and dating each enclosed proxy card and returning it in the accompanying postage-paid return envelope OR by following the enclosed instructions to vote by telephone or over the Internet.
Robert I. Frenkel
Secretary

Fund Information
The following table lists, with respect to each Fund, the name of the Fund’s Adviser and the total number of shares outstanding and the net assets of the Fund on[insert record date], the record date for voting at the Meeting. Additionally, the table lists the quorum requirements for each Fund (which is also the standard used to determine the presence of a quorum of shareholders of the Trust or Corporation of which the Fund is a series, if applicable). The table also indicates, under “Manner of Voting,” whether a shareholder of a Fund is entitled to one vote for each share of that Fund held on the record date, or whether a shareholder of the Fund is entitled to vote based on the dollar value of shares held by the shareholder on the record date, so called “dollar-weighted” voting.

Comparison of Terms of Management Agreements
Appendix D contains seven charts comparing the principal terms of the Current Management Agreements with the corresponding terms of the proposed New Management Agreement for each of the Funds. Funds are grouped on a chart based on similarities in their Current Management Agreement and you should look for the chart or charts containing a comparison of the agreements for your Fund or Funds, as the case may be.
You should note that the charts contain only a description of the principal provisions of the Current Management Agreements and may not include all of the terms of those Agreements, or the exact wording of those provisions described. The name of the specific Adviser and, where applicable, the name of the Subadviser, the amount of compensation and dates of effectiveness and term of the Current Management Agreements have been omitted. You can find the name of a Fund’s Adviser in Appendix B, the dates of the Current Management Agreements and the compensation payable under the Agreements in Appendix F, and the names of any Subadvisers to a Fund in Appendix L.
For the purposes of the description of the provisions of the Current Management Agreements, you should note that many of the terms used in your Current Management Agreement may have been changed for the sake of consistency. For example, reference to a “Series” “Trust” or “Portfolio” have been disregarded in favor of the consistent use of the term “Fund,” references to “Adviser” or “Investment Adviser” have been disregarded in favor of the consistent use of the term “Manager,” references to “Directors” and “Trustees” have been disregarded in favor of the consistent use of the term “Board,” and references to “Articles of Incorporation”, “Charter,” Declaration of Trust and “Master Trust Agreement” have been disregarded in favor of “governing documents.” In addition, grammatical differences, such as the use of singular versus plural, have been disregarded.
The complete text of the form of New Management Agreement is included in Appendix E and you should refer to that Appendix for the complete terms of the Agreement.

Comparison of Terms of Subadvisory Agreements with Affiliated Subadvisers
Appendix L contains two charts comparing the principal terms of the Current Subadvisory Agreements with the corresponding terms of the proposed New Subadvisory Agreement for each of the Funds with an Affiliated Subadviser. Funds are grouped on a chart based on similarities in their Current Subadvisory Agreement and you should look for the chart or charts containing a comparison of the Agreements for your Fund or Funds, as the case may be.
You should note that the charts contain only a description of the principal provisions of the Current Subadvisory Agreements and may not include all of the terms of those Agreements, or the exact wording of those provisions described. The name of the specific Affiliated Subadviser, the amount of compensation and dates of effectiveness and term of the Current Subadvisory Agreements have been omitted. You can find the date of effectiveness and the compensation payable under the Agreements in Appendix F.
For the purposes of the description of the provisions of the Current Subadvisory Agreements, you should note that many of the terms used in your Current Subadvisory Agreement may have been changed for the sake of consistency. For example, reference to a “Series” “Trust” or “Portfolio” have been disregarded in favor of the consistent use of the term “Fund,” references to “Sub-manager” or “Investment Sub-Adviser” have been disregarded in favor of the consistent use of the term “Subadviser,” references to “Directors” and “Trustees” have been disregarded in favor of the consistent use of the term “Board,” and references to “Articles of Incorporation”, “Charter,” Declaration of Trust and “Master Trust Agreement” have been disregarded in favor of “governing documents.” In addition, grammatical differences, such as the use of singular versus plural, have been disregarded.
The complete text of the form of New Subadvisory Agreement with Affiliated Subadvisers is included in Appendix M-1 and you should refer to that Appendix for the complete terms of the Agreement. If your Fund has a Third Party Subadviser, the complete text of the New Subadvisory Agreements with those Subadvisers are included on Appendices M-2, M-3, M-4 and M-5.

WHEREAS, the Manager wishes to engage the Subadviser to provide certain investment advisory services to the [Trust/Corporation] [with respect to that series of the [Trust/Corporation] designated in Schedule A annexed hereto] (the “Fund”) and Subadviser is willing to furnish such services on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants herein contained, it is agreed as follows:
1. In accordance with and subject to the Management Agreement between the [Trust/Corporation] and the Manager with respect to the Fund (the “Management Agreement”), the Manager hereby appoints the Subadviser to act as Subadviser with respect to the Fund for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Subadviser accepts such appointment and agrees to render the services herein set forth, for the compensation herein provided.
2. The Manager shall cause the Subadviser to be kept fully informed at all times with regard to the securities owned by the Fund, its funds available, or to become available, for investment, and generally as to the condition of the Fund’s affairs. Manager shall furnish the Subadviser with such other documents and information with regard to the Fund’s affairs as the Subadviser may from time to time reasonably request.
3. (a) Subject to the supervision of the [Trust/Corporation]’s Board of [Trustees/Directors] (the “Board”) and the Manager, Subadviser shall regularly provide the Fund with respect to such portion of the Fund’s assets as shall be allocated to the Subadviser by the Manager from time to time (the “Allocated Assets”) with investment research, advice, management and supervision and shall furnish a continuous investment program for the Allocated Assets consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions, as stated in the Fund’s current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The Subadviser shall, with respect to the Allocated Assets, determine from time to time what securities and other investments will be purchased, retained, sold or exchanged by the Fund and what portion of the Allocated Assets will be held in the various securities and other investments in which the Fund invests, and shall implement those decisions, all subject to the provisions of the [Trust/Corporation’s Declaration of Trust/Articles of Incorporation], and By-Laws (collectively, the “Governing Documents”), the 1940 Act, and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and interpretive guidance issued thereunder by the SEC staff and any other applicable federal and state law, as well as the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Fund referred to above, and any other specific policies adopted by the Board and disclosed to the Subadviser.

5. Compensation
(i) In consideration of the services rendered pursuant to this Agreement, the Manager will pay the Sub-Adviser an annual fee calculated at the rate of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets; the fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.

Upon any termination of this Agreement before the end of a
M-7
month, the fee for such part of that month shall be prorated according to the proportion that such period bears to the full monthly period and shall be payable upon the date of termination of this Agreement. For the purpose of determining fees payable to the Sub-Adviser, the value of the Fund’s net assets shall be computed at the times and in the manner specified in the Prospectus and/or the Statement.
(ii) The Sub-Adviser agrees that, to the extent that the fee that is payable to the Manager by the Fund is reduced by action of the Board, the fee payable to the Sub-Adviser shall be reduced pro rata. Additionally, to the extent that any part of the fee that is payable to the Manager is waived by the Manager, the Sub-Adviser agrees to waive its fees proportionately. The Manager agrees to consult with the Sub-Adviser prior to making a decision as to whether to waive its fees.

7. Standard of Care
The Sub-Adviser shall exercise its best judgment and shall act in good faith in rendering the services listed in paragraphs 2 and 3 above. The Sub-Adviser shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund or the Manager in connection with the matters to which this Agreement relates as well as in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to protect or purport to protect the Sub-Adviser against any liability to the Manager, the Company or to the shareholders of the Fund to which the Sub-Adviser would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on its part in the performance of its duties or by reason of the Sub-Adviser’s reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
8. Term of Agreement
This Agreement shall become effective [Date] (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue for an initial two-year term. This Agreement shall continue thereafter so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually as required by the 1940 Act. This Agreement is terminable, without penalty, on 60 days’ written notice, by the Board of the Company or by vote of holders of a majority (as defined in the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder) of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, or upon 60 days’ written notice by the Sub-Adviser except as otherwise agreed by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser. This Agreement will also terminate automatically in the event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder).

The Company understands that the Sub-Adviser now acts, and may act in the future, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, as investment manager, adviser, or subadviser to other investment companies and/or managed accounts, including offshore entities. Sub-Adviser agrees that whenever the Portfolio and one or more other accounts managed or advised by the Sub-Adviser have available funds for investment, investments suitable and appropriate for each will be allocated in accordance with a formula believed to be equitable to each company and account. The Company recognizes that in some cases this procedure may adversely affect the size of the position obtainable for the Fund. In addition, the Company understands that the persons employed by the Sub-Adviser to assist in the performance of the Sub-Adviser’s duties under this Agreement will not devote their full time to such service.

The fee for the period from the date the Fund commences its investment operations to the end of the month during which the Fund commences its investment operations shall be pro-rated according to the proportion that such period bears to the full monthly period. Upon any termination of this Agreement before the end of any month, the fee for such part of that month shall be pro-rated according to the proportion that such period bears to the full monthly period and shall be payable upon the date of termination of this Agreement. For the purpose of determining fees payable to the Subadviser, the value of the Fund’s Managed Assets shall be computed at the times and in the manner specified in the Fund’s Prospectus and/or the Statement, as from time to time in effect.

5. Brokerage
In selecting brokers or dealers to execute transactions on behalf of the Fund, the Subadviser will seek the best overall terms available. In assessing the best overall terms available for any transaction, the Subadviser will consider factors it deems relevant, including, but not limited to, the breadth of the market in the security, the price of the security, the financial condition and execution capability of the broker or dealer and the reasonableness of the commission, if any, for the specific transaction and on a continuing basis. In selecting brokers or dealers to execute a particular transaction, and in evaluating the best overall terms available, the Subadviser is authorized to consider the brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) provided to the Fund and/or other accounts over which the Subadviser or its affiliates exercise investment discretion.

8. Services to Other Companies or Accounts
The Fund understands that the Subadviser now acts, will continue to act and may act in the future as: investment adviser to fiduciary and other managed accounts, as well as to other investment companies; and the Fund has no objection to the Subadviser so acting, provided that whenever the Fund and one or more other clients advised by the Subadviser have available funds for investment, investments suitable and appropriate for each will be allocated in accordance with a formula believed to be equitable to each client. The Fund recognizes that in some cases this procedure may adversely affect the size of the position obtainable for the Fund. In addition, the Fund understands that the persons employed by the Subadviser to assist in the performance of the Subadviser’s duties under this Agreement will not devote their full time to such service and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or restrict the right of the Subadviser or any affiliate of the Subadviser to engage in and devote time and attention to other businesses or to render services of whatever kind or nature.

(xii) The Manager, and not the Subadviser, shall select brokers and dealers and place all purchase and sale orders for portfolio transactions on behalf of the Fund in its discretion.

The Company recognizes that in some cases this procedure may adversely affect the size of the position or the prices obtainable for the Fund. The Subadviser agrees that its trading procedures will, in the good faith belief of the Subadviser, be fair and equitable for the Fund and the Subadviser’s other clients; however, the Manager and the Company recognize that from time to time the Subadviser may place trades with broker-dealers for other clients that will be executed ahead of investment instructions sent to the Manager.

M-21
Company understands that the persons employed by the Subadviser to assist in the performance of the Subadviser’s duties under this Agreement will not devote their full time to such service and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or restrict the right of the Subadviser or any affiliated person of the Subadviser to engage in and devote time and attention to other businesses or to render services of whatever kind or nature.
3. Information Provided to the Company and the Manager
The Subadviser shall supply all relevant information to the Board as the Board may request to enable the Board to review this Agreement consistent with Sections 15 and 36 of the 1940 Act, including information about the profitability to the Subadviser of providing services to the Fund pursuant to this Agreement.

NOMINATING COMMITTEE CHARTER
Organization
The Nominating Committee of each registered investment company listed in Appendix A hereto (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”) shall be composed solely of Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Fund as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and, with respect to those Funds listed on the New York Stock Exchange, who are “independent” as defined in the New York Stock Exchange listing standards (“Independent Trustees”). The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) shall nominate the members of the Committee and shall designate the Chairperson of the Committee. The Chairperson shall preside at each meeting of the Committee.
Responsibilities
The Committee shall select and nominate persons for election or appointment by the Board as Trustees of the Fund.
Evaluation of Potential Nominees
In evaluating a person as a potential nominee to serve as a Trustee of the Fund, the Committee should consider among other factors it may deem relevant:
• | whether or not the person is an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act and whether the person is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a Trustee of the Fund; |
• | whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence, such as any business, financial or family relationships with Fund management, the investment manager of the Fund, other Fund service providers or their affiliates; |
• | whether or not the person serves on boards of, or is otherwise affiliated with, competing financial service organizations or their related mutual fund complexes; |
• | whether or not the person is willing to serve, and willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties of a Trustee of the Fund; |
• | the contribution which the person can make to the Board and the Fund (or, if the person has previously served as a Trustees of the Fund, the contribution which the person made to the Board during his or her previous term of service), with consideration being given to the person’s business and professional experience, education and such other factors as the Committee may consider relevant; |
• | the character and integrity of the person; and |
