A message from Putnam Investments and the Trustees of the Putnam funds

A few minutes of your time now can help save time and expenses later.

Dear Fellow Shareholder:

We are asking for your vote on important matters affecting your investment in the Putnam funds. The Putnam funds will hold a special shareholder meeting on February 27, 2014 in Boston, Massachusetts. We are asking you — and all shareholders — to consider and vote on the important matters described below.

You may conveniently vote by:

•Visitingthe website listed on the proxy card.

•Callingby telephone, using the toll-free number listed on the proxy card.

•Mailingthe enclosed proxy card — be sure to sign, date, and return the card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.

Of course, you are also welcome to attend the special shareholder meeting on February 27, 2014 and vote your shares in person.

The Trustees of the Putnam funds unanimously recommend that you vote “FOR” all proposals described below.

1. Approving new management contracts.Shareholders of all Putnam funds, including your fund, are being asked to approve a new management contract with Putnam Investment Management, LLC (“Putnam Management”), your fund’s investment adviser. The proposed new management contract is identical (except for its effective date and initial term and certain non-substantive changes) to your fund’s current management contract with Putnam Management.

On October 8, 2013, The Honourable Paul G. Desmarais, who was the controlling shareholder of Power Corporation of Canada, Putnam Management’s ultimate parent company, passed away. Upon his death, voting control of the shares of Power Corporation of Canada that Mr. Desmarais controlled was transferred to a family trust. (See pages 4 to 5 for further details.) The transfer of voting control of these shares may have constituted an “assignment” of the management contract between Putnam Management and your fund, resulting in its automatic termination as required by law. The transfer of voting control will not have any practical impact on the operations of Putnam Management or your fund. You are being asked to approve a new management contract for your fund to ensure that Putnam Management is able to continue to manage your fund.

2. Electing Trustees.Shareholders of all open-end Putnam funds are being asked to elect Trustees at the upcoming special meeting. (Shareholders of the closed-end Putnam funds will be asked to elect Trustees at their 2014 annual meeting, expected to be held in April 2014.) Although Trustees do not manage fund portfolios, they play an important role in protecting shareholders. Trustees are responsible for approving the fees paid to your fund’s investment adviser and its affiliates, reviewing overall fund expenses, selecting the fund’s auditors, monitoring conflicts of interest, overseeing the fund’s compliance with federal securities laws, and voting proxies for the fund’s portfolio securities. All but one of your fund’s Trustees currently are independent of the fund and Putnam Management.

3. Approving an Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust.Shareholders of all open-end Putnam funds are being asked to authorize the Trustees to adopt a single form of Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust for each Trust. The open-end Putnam funds operate under thirty-eight distinct

declarations of trust, which were created at different times in the past and differ from each other in several ways. The Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust will benefit the affected funds by harmonizing the terms of these governing documents, eliminating the inefficiencies inherent in operating under a variety of declarations of trust, allowing increased flexibility in the operation of your fund, modernizing and streamlining governance provisions, reducing the risks and costs of potential litigation and eliminating certain ambiguities and inconsistencies.

4. Other Matters.Shareholders of three funds are being asked to approve changes to certain investment policies designed to conform their operations with those of other Putnam funds.

Detailed information regarding these proposals may be found in the enclosed proxy statement.

Please vote today

We encourage you to sign and return your proxy card today or, alternatively, to vote online or by telephone using the voting control number that appears on your proxy card. Delaying your vote will increase fund expenses if further mailings are required. Your shares will be voted on your behalf exactly as you have instructed.If you sign the proxy card without specifying your vote, your shares will be voted in accordance with the Trustees’ recommendations.

Your vote is extremely important. If you have questions, please call toll-free 1-866-963-5821 or contact your financial advisor.

In order for you to be represented at your fund’s special shareholder meeting, we urge you to record your voting instructions over the Internet or by telephone or to mark, sign, date, and mail the enclosed proxy card(s) in the postage-paid envelope provided.

Proxy Statement

This document gives you the information you need to vote on the proposals. Much of the information is required under rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission; some of it is technical. If there is anything you don’t understand, please call toll-free 1-866-963-5821 or call your financial advisor.

Why has a special meeting of shareholders been called?

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), which regulates investment companies such as your fund, requires management contracts to terminate automatically upon an “assignment” of the contract, which includes a “change of control” affecting an investment company’s investment adviser. Until his death on October 8, 2013, The Honourable Paul G. Desmarais, directly and through holding companies controlled by him, controlled a majority of the voting shares of Power Corporation of Canada, the ultimate parent company of Putnam Management, your fund’s investment adviser. Upon Mr. Desmarais’ death, voting control over Power Corporation of Canada shares was transferred to The Desmarais Family Residuary Trust. Throughout this proxy statement, this transfer of voting control of Power Corporation of Canada shares is referred to as the “Transfer.” Because Putnam Management is indirectly controlled by Power Corporation of Canada, the Transfer may have resulted in a change of control of Putnam Management and an assignment of your fund’s management contract within the meaning of the 1940 Act. This means that, even though the Transfer will not have any impact on the operations of Putnam Management, it is possible that your fund’s management contract with Putnam Management terminated automatically upon the Transfer. To eliminate any ambiguity as to the effectiveness of your fund’s management contract, a special meeting of shareholders has been called so that shareholders may approve a new management contract with Putnam Management to allow Putnam Management to continue as your fund’s investment adviser.

Will the Transfer affect Putnam Management?

The Transfer will not have any effect on the operations of Putnam Management or your fund.

Does the proposed new management contract differ from your fund’s current management contract?

The proposed new management contract is identical to your fund’s current management contract, except for its effective date and initial term and other non-substantive changes. There will be no change in the services that your fund will receive or to the fees and costs that your fund will bear.

What other proposals are being presented to shareholders at the special meeting?

In addition to being asked to approve a new management contract with Putnam Management, shareholders of all open-end Putnam funds are being asked to vote for the election of Trustees and to authorize the Trustees to adopt an Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust for your fund. Shareholders of PutnamDynamic Asset Allocation Conservative Fund are also being asked to approve an amendment to that fund’s fundamental investment restriction with respect to commodities, and shareholders of Putnam Global Consumer Fund and Putnam Global Financials Fund are also being asked to approve an amendment to those funds’ fundamental investment policies with respect to diversification of investments.

Who is asking for your vote?

The enclosed proxy is solicited by the Trustees of the Putnam funds for use at the special meeting of shareholders of each fund to be held on Thursday, February 27, 2014 and, if your fund’s meeting is adjourned, at any later meetings, for the purposes stated in the Notice of a Special Meeting (see previous pages). The Notice of a Special Meeting, the proxy card and this proxy statement are being mailed beginning on or about December 23, 2013.

How do your fund’s Trustees recommend that shareholders vote on the proposals?

The Trustees unanimously recommend that you voteFOReach proposal.

Who is eligible to vote?

Shareholders of record of each fund at the close of business on Monday, December 2, 2013 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to be present and to vote at the special meeting or any adjournment.

The number of shares of each fund outstanding on the Record Date is shown inAppendix A. Each share is entitled to one vote, with fractional shares voting proportionately. Shares represented by your duly executed proxy card will be voted in accordance with your instructions. If you sign and return the proxy card but don’t fill in a vote, your shares will be voted in accordance with the Trustees’ recommendations. If any other business comes before your fund’s special meeting, your shares will be voted at the discretion of the persons designated on the proxy card.

Shareholders of each fund vote separately with respect to the proposal to approve a new management contract and the proposed changes in investment policies. Shareholders of all series of a trust vote together with respect to the other proposals. The name of each trust is indicated in bold in the Notice of a Special Meeting of Shareholders on pages 1 and 2, with the funds that are series of that trust appearing below its name. The outcome of a vote affecting one fund does not affect any other fund, except where series of a trust vote together as a single class. No proposal is contingent upon the outcome of any other proposal.

The Proposals

1. APPROVING A NEW MANAGEMENT CONTRACTFOR YOUR FUND

Background Information

Putnam Management, your fund’s investment adviser, is majority owned (indirectly through other companies) by Power Corporation of Canada, a diversified international management and holding company with interests in companies in the financial services, communications and other business sectors. Until his death on

October 8, 2013, The Honourable Paul G. Desmarais controlled a majority of the voting shares of Power Corporation of Canada, directly and through holding companies that he controlled.

Since 1996, Mr. Desmarais’ two sons, Paul Desmarais, Jr. and André Desmarais, have managed the day-to-day affairs of Power Corporation of Canada, serving as Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer and President and Co-Chief Executive Officer, respectively. Until his death, The Honourable Paul G. Desmarais served as Director of Power Corporation of Canada and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. He also served as Director of Power Financial Corporation, a majority-owned subsidiary of Power Corporation of Canada, and continued to exercise voting control over a majority of the voting shares of Power Corporation of Canada. However, he did not participate actively in the management or affairs of Putnam Investments, LLC, the parent company of Putnam Management (“Putnam Investments”). Paul Desmarais, Jr. and André Desmarais, in addition to their executive roles at Power Corporation of Canada, are active members of the Boards of Directors of numerous subsidiaries of Power Corporation of Canada, including Putnam Investments.

Following Mr. Desmarais’ death, voting control of the shares of Power Corporation of Canada that he owned directly and controlled indirectly was transferred to The Desmarais Family Residuary Trust, a trust established pursuant to the Last Will and Testament of The Honourable Paul G. Desmarais. (This transfer of voting control of Power Corporation of Canada shares is referred to as the “Transfer” throughout this proxy statement.) There are five trustees of The Desmarais Family Residuary Trust, consisting of Mr. Desmarais’ two sons, Paul Desmarais, Jr. and André Desmarais, his widow, Jacqueline Desmarais, and Guy Fortin and Michel Plessis-Bélair. Under the terms of the trust, the family member trustees (or the family member successor trustees) effectively determine how the shares of Power Corporation of Canada owned or controlled by The Desmarais Family Residuary Trust will be voted. As a practical matter, it is generally expected that, while they serve as trustees, Paul Desmarais, Jr. and André Desmarais will exercise, jointly, voting control over the Power Corporation of Canada shares owned or controlled by the trust.

The trustees have the responsibility to manage the affairs of The Desmarais Family Residuary Trust, which include managing the trust property, distributing income to its designated beneficiaries, voting the shares of Power Corporation of Canada owned or controlled by the trust, and complying with the terms of the trust more generally. The family member trustees determine who will replace any of the trustees, provided that the family member trustees must be replaced with members of the Desmarais family and that the non-family member trustees must be replaced with non-family members. The ultimate beneficiaries of the principal of the trust, including any shares of Power Corporation of Canada owned by The Desmarais Family Residuary Trust, will be determined only upon the occurrence of future events, though it is generally contemplated that current and future members of the Desmarais family will be the ultimate beneficiaries.

The Transfer has not impacted the ownership of any of the companies owned, directly or indirectly, by Power Corporation of Canada. As indicated in the accompanying chart, Power Corporation of Canada continues to own a majority of the voting shares of Power Financial Corporation, which in turn owns a majority of the voting shares of Great-West Lifeco Inc. All of the voting shares of Putnam Investments are owned by Great-West Lifeco Inc. Putnam Investments, through a series of wholly-owned holding companies, is the sole owner of Putnam Management. The address of The Desmarais Family Residuary Trust is 759 Victoria Square, Montreal, Quebec H2Y 2J7. The address of Power Corporation of Canada and Power Financial Corporation is 751 Victoria Square, Montreal, Quebec H2Y 2J3. The address of Great-West Lifeco Inc. is 100 Osborne Street North, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3C 3A5. The address of Putnam Investments and Putnam Management is One Post Office Square, Boston, Massachusetts 02109.

Representatives of Power Corporation of Canada, Power Financial Corporation, and Great-West Lifeco have confirmed that the Transfer will not impact Putnam Investments’ operations. Paul Desmarais, Jr. and André Desmarais, who as trustees of The Desmarais Family Residuary Trust are expected to determine how to vote the shares of Power Corporation of Canada that are controlled by the trust, continue to serve as Co-Chief Executive Officers of Power Corporation of Canada and as Directors of Putnam Investments. In these roles, they will continue to oversee the operations and affairs of Power Corporation of Canada and its subsidiary companies, including Putnam Investments. Putnam Investments will continue to operate as a separate business unit within the Power Corporation of Canada group of companies, overseen by its separate Board of Directors, and will retain its existing management team. There are no current plans to make any changes to the operations of the funds as a result of the Transfer. In particular, the funds have been advised that there are no current plans to make changes with respect to existing management fees, expense limitations, distribution arrangements, or the quality of any services provided to the funds or their shareholders as a result of the Transfer. In addition, the Putnam brand, Putnam Investments’ current business strategy and Putnam Management’s investment management philosophy will not change as a result of the Transfer and there will not be any disruption or change for fund shareholders or the Putnam organization.

Although the Transfer is unrelated to, and will not have any impact on, the operations of Putnam Management and your fund, it is possible that the Transfer, as a technical matter under the 1940 Act, constitutes a “change of control” of Putnam Management. Under the 1940 Act, which regulates investment companies such as the Putnam funds, investment advisory contracts are required to terminate automatically when there is a change of control of the investment adviser. Fund shareholders must then approve new investment advisory contracts so that the fund may continue to receive advisory services.

The Interim Management Contracts

Each of the Putnam funds’ management contracts with Putnam Management terminates automatically in the event of an “assignment.” In light of the possibility that the Transfer constituted a change of control of Putnam Management and therefore an assignment of your fund’s management contract, Putnam Management is currently providing services to your fund under an interim management contract.

Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act allows an investment company to enter into an interim management contract with a maximum term of 150 days without first obtaining shareholder approval, so that the investment company may receive investment management services without interruption following an assignment of a previous management contract. Shortly after Mr. Desmarais’ death, the Putnam funds’ Board of Trustees met in person on October 18, 2013 and approved interim management contracts for each of the Putnam funds, effective as of October 8, 2013.Consistent with the 1940 Act and Rule 15a-4 thereunder, each interim management contract will continue in effect until the earlier to occur of (i) approval by a “majority of the outstanding voting securities,” as defined in the 1940 Act, of a new management contract and (ii) March 7, 2014, which is the 150th day after October 8, 2013, unless the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff permit the contract to remain in effect for a longer period. Each fund’s interim management contract is identical to the contract it replaced, except for its date and the provisions regarding the term of the contract and for certain non-substantive changes.

The Proposed New Management Contract; Comparison with your Fund’s Prior Management Contract

To eliminate any ambiguity as to the status of your fund’s management contract, the Trustees have concluded that it is in the best interests of your fund’s shareholders to call a special meeting so that shareholders may approve a new management contract with Putnam Management and Putnam Management can continue as your fund’s investment adviser. At an in-person meeting on November 21 and 22, 2013, the Trustees unanimously approved, and recommend to the shareholders of each fund that they approve, a new management contract between each fund and Putnam Management. The form of the proposed new management contract for your fund is attached atAppendix B. You should refer toAppendix Bfor the complete terms of your fund’s proposed management contract.

The terms of the proposed new management contract (described generally below) are identical to those of the previous management contract except for the effective dates and initial term and for certain non-substantive changes. The date of each fund’s previous management contract, the date on which it was last submitted to a vote of shareholders, and the purpose of the submission is set forth inAppendix C.

Fees.There is no change in the rate of the fees that the funds will pay Putnam Management under the proposed new management contracts. The current fee schedule for investment management services and administrative services for each fund is set forth inAppendix D. The actual fees paid by some funds are subject to expense limitations, which are unaffected by the Transfer.

Investment Management Services.The proposed new management contract for your fund provides that Putnam Management will furnish continuously an investment program for the fund, determining what investments to purchase, hold, sell or exchange and what portion of the fund’s assets will be held uninvested, in compliance with the fund’s governing documents, investment objectives, policies and restrictions, and subject to the oversight and control of the Trustees. As indicated above, Putnam Management’s responsibilities under the proposed new management contract are identical to those under both the previous management contract and the current interim management contract.

Putnam Management is authorized under the proposed new management contract to place orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio investments for your fund with brokers or dealers that Putnam Management selects. Putnam Management must select brokers and dealers, and place orders, using its best efforts to obtain for the funds the most favorable price and execution available, except that Putnam Management may pay higher brokerage commissions if it determines in good faith that the commission is reasonable in relation to the value of brokerage and research services provided by the broker or dealer (a practice commonly known as “soft dollars”). Putnam Management may make this determination in terms of either the particular transaction or Putnam Management’s overall responsibilities with respect to a fund and to other clients of Putnam Management for which Putnam Management exercises investment discretion. Putnam Management’s use of soft dollars is subject to policies established by the Trustees from time to time and applicable guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Delegation of Responsibilities.The proposed new management contract for your fund expressly provides that Putnam Management may, in its discretion and with the approval of the Trustees (including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons”) and, if required, the approval of shareholders, delegate responsibilities under the contract to one or more sub-advisers or sub-administrators. The separate costs of employing any sub-adviser or sub-administrator must be borne by Putnam Management or the sub-adviser or sub-administrator, not by the fund. Putnam Management is responsible for overseeing the performance of any sub-adviser or sub-administrator and remains fully responsible to the fund under the proposed new management contract regardless of whether it delegates any responsibilities.

At present, Putnam Management has delegated certain responsibilities to affiliated sub-advisers, as described below under the heading “Sub-Adviser Arrangements.” The sub-management and sub-advisory contracts governing these arrangements, like the management contracts, terminate upon a change of control of Putnam Management. In connection with their approval of the interim management contracts, the Trustees approved the continuance of the existing sub-management and sub-advisory contracts with these sub-advisers at their in-person meeting held on October 18, 2013. If your fund’s shareholders approve the proposed new management contract, pursuant to the new management contract, Putnam Management will enter into equivalent sub-management and sub-advisory contracts with these affiliated sub-advisers, effective at the time the new management contract becomes effective. See “Sub-Adviser Arrangements” below for a description of the sub-advisers, and seeAppendix Efor copies of the current sub-management and sub-advisory contracts. The new sub-management and sub-advisory contracts will be identical to the current sub-management and sub-advisory contracts except for theireffective dates and initial term. Consistent with current law and interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission staff, it is not necessary for shareholders to approve the sub-management and sub-advisory contracts. (Shareholder approval would be required were Putnam Management to delegate any of its advisory responsibilities to advisers that are not subsidiaries of Putnam Investments.) Shareholders should be aware that a vote to approve your fund’s new management contract will have the effect of voting for the continuation of these arrangements.

Administrative Services.Like the previous management contract and the current interim management contract, the proposed new management contract provides that Putnam Management will manage, supervise and conduct the other (i.e., non-investment) affairs and business of each fund and incidental matters. These administrative services include providing suitable office space for the fund and administrative facilities, such as bookkeeping, clerical personnel and equipment necessary for the efficient conduct of the fund’s affairs, including determination of the net asset value of the fund, but excluding shareholder accounting services.

Putnam Management has delegated certain administrative, pricing and bookkeeping services to State Street Bank and Trust Company. This delegation was not affected by the Transfer.

Expenses.Like the previous management contract and the current interim management contract, the proposed new management contract requires Putnam Management to bear the expenses associated with (i) furnishing all necessary investment and management facilities, including salaries of personnel, required for it to execute its duties faithfully, (ii) providing suitable office space for each fund and (iii) providing administrative services. Like the previous and interim management contracts, the proposed new management contract also provides that the fund will pay the fees of its Trustees and will reimburse Putnam Management for compensation paid to officers and persons assisting officers of the fund, and all or part of the cost of suitable office space, utilities, support services and equipment used by such officers and persons, as the Trustees may determine. Under this provision, the fund will bear the costs of the Trustees’ independent staff, which assists the Trustees in overseeing each of the funds.

Term and Termination.If approved by shareholders of your fund, the proposed new management contract will become effective upon its execution and will remain in effect continuously, unless terminated under the termination provisions of the contract. Like the previous management contract and the current interim management contract, the proposed new management contract provides that the management contract may be terminated at any time, by either Putnam Management or the fund by not less than 60 days’ written notice to the other party and without the payment of any penalty by Putnam Management or the fund. A fund may effect termination by vote of a majority of its Trustees or by the affirmative vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting

securities” of the fund, as defined in the 1940 Act. The proposed new management contract also will terminate automatically in the event of its “assignment.”

The proposed new management contract will, unless terminated as described above, continue until June 30, 2014 and will continue in effect from year to year thereafter so long as its continuance is approved at least annually by (i) the Trustees of the fund or the shareholders by the affirmative vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the fund, as defined in the 1940 Act, and (ii) a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund or of Putnam Management, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

Limitation of Liability.Under the proposed new management contract, Putnam Management is not liable to a fund or to any shareholder of the fund for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services under the proposed management contract, unless there is willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of Putnam Management or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the proposed management contract.

As required under each fund’s Declaration of Trust, the proposed new management contract contains a notice provision stating that the fund’s Declaration of Trust is on file with the Secretary of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and that the proposed management contract is executed on behalf of the Trustees as Trustees of the fund and not individually. Also, the fund’s obligations arising out of the proposed management contract are limited only to the assets and property of thefund and are not binding on any of the Trustees, officers or shareholders individually.

Amendments; Defined Terms.The proposed new management contract may only be amended in writing, and any amendments must be approved in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations under the 1940 Act and any applicable guidance or interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff. Similarly, certain terms used in the proposed new management contract are used as defined in the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations under the 1940 Act and any applicable guidance or interpretation of the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff.

Sub-Adviser Arrangements

Sub-Management Contract.Putnam Management has retained an affiliate, Putnam Investments Limited (“PIL”), as the sub-manager for a portion of a fund’s assets as determined by Putnam Management from time to time (an “Allocated Sleeve”). PIL is currently authorized to serve as the sub-manager, to the extent determined by Putnam Management from time to time, for each of the funds. PIL is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Putnam Advisory Company, LLC (“PAC”), which is itself a subsidiary of Putnam Investments.

PIL serves as sub-manager for the funds under a sub-management contract between Putnam Management and PIL. Under the sub-management contract, Putnam Management (and not the fund) pays a quarterly sub-management fee to PIL for its services at the annual rates set forth in the accompanying table, in each case measured as a percentage of the average aggregate net asset value of assets invested in an Allocated Sleeve.

Under the terms of the sub-management contract, PIL, at its own expense, furnishes continuously an investment program for the portion of each fund that Putnam Management allocates to PIL from time to time and makes investment decisions on behalf of these portions of the fund, subject to Putnam Management’s supervision. Putnam Management may also, at its discretion, request PIL to provide assistance with purchasing and selling securities for the fund, including order placement with certain broker-dealers. PIL, at its expense, furnishes all necessary investment and management facilities, including salaries of personnel, required for it to execute its duties.

The sub-management contract provides that PIL is not subject to any liability to Putnam Management, the fund or any shareholder of the fund for any act or omission in the course of or connected with rendering services to the fund in the absence of PIL’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties.

The sub-management contract may be terminated with respect to a fund without penalty by vote of the Trustees or the shareholders of the fund, or by PIL or Putnam Management, on not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ written notice. The sub-management contract also terminates without payment of any penalty in the event of its assignment. Subject to applicable law, it may be amended by a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of Putnam Management or the fund. The sub-management contract provides that it will continue in effect only so long as such continuance is approved at least annually by vote of either the Trustees or the shareholders and, in either case, by a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of Putnam Management or the fund. In each of the foregoing cases, the vote of the shareholders isthe affirmative vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” as defined in the 1940 Act.

Sub-Advisory Contract.PAC has been retained as a sub-adviser for a portion of the assets of the funds identified in the accompanying table (collectively referred to as the “PAC Funds”) as determined from time to time by Putnam Management or, with respect to portions of such fund’s assets for which PIL acts as sub-adviser as described above, by PIL.

PAC serves as sub-adviser under the sub-advisory contract. Pursuant to the terms of the sub-advisory contract, Putnam Management or, with respect to portions of a PAC Fund’s assets for which PIL acts as sub-manager, PIL (and not the fund) pays a quarterly sub-advisory fee to PAC for its services at the annual rate of 0.35% of the average aggregate net asset value of the portion of such fund with respect to which PAC acts as sub-adviser.

Under the terms of the sub-advisory contract, PAC, at its own expense, furnishes continuously an investment program for that portion of a fund that is allocated to PAC from time to time by Putnam Management or PIL, as applicable, and makes investment decisions on behalf of such portion of the fund, subject to the supervision of Putnam Management or PIL, as applicable. PAC, at its expense, furnishes all necessary investment and management facilities, including salaries of personnel, required for it to execute its duties.

The sub-advisory contract provides that PAC is not subject to any liability to Putnam Management, PIL, a PAC Fund or any shareholder of such fund for any act or omission in the course of or connected with rendering services to the fund in the absence of PAC’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties.

The following is a complete list of the PAC Funds:


Putnam Absolute Return 100 Fund	Putnam Global Natural Resources Fund
Putnam Absolute Return 300 Fund	Putnam Global Sector Fund
Putnam Absolute Return 500 Fund	Putnam Global Technology Fund
Putnam Absolute Return 700 Fund	Putnam Global Telecommunications Fund
Putnam Asia Pacific Equity Fund	Putnam Global Utilities Fund
Putnam Capital Spectrum Fund	Putnam International Equity Fund
Putnam Dynamic Asset Allocation Balanced Fund	Putnam International Growth Fund
Putnam Dynamic Asset Allocation Conservative Fund	Putnam International Value Fund

The sub-advisory contract may be terminated without penalty by vote of the Trustees or the shareholders of the relevant PAC Fund, or by PAC, PIL or Putnam Management, on not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ written notice. The sub-advisory contract also terminates without payment of any penalty in the event of its assignment. Subject to applicable law, it may be amended by a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of Putnam Management or the PAC Fund. The sub-advisory contract provides that it will continue in effect only so long as its continuance is approved at least annually by vote of either the Trustees or shareholders of the respective PAC Fund and, in either case, by a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of Putnam Management or the PAC Fund. In each of the foregoing cases, the vote of the shareholders of a PAC Fund is the affirmative vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” as defined in the 1940 Act.

To the extent that the Transfer may have constituted a “change of control” of Putnam Management, terminating automatically the funds’ previous management contracts, then the funds’ sub-management contract and the sub-advisory contract would also have terminated. To ensure that your fund did not lose the benefit of PIL’s or PAC’s services, at their in-person meeting held on October 18, 2013, the Trustees approved the continuance of the sub-management contract with PIL and the sub-advisory contract with PIL and PAC. The sub-management contract and sub-advisory contract are not interim in nature and will continue in effect through June 30, 2014. However, as described above, Putnam Management, PIL and PAC intend to enter into new sub-management and sub-advisory contracts contemporaneously with the execution of the proposed new management contracts if the new management contracts are approved by fund shareholders. SeeAppendix Efor copies of the current sub-management and sub-advisory contracts.

What did the Trustees consider in evaluating the proposed new management contracts?

In considering whether to approve the proposed new management contracts, as well as the interim management contracts, the Trustees took into account that they had recently approved the annual continuation of all of the previous management contracts and the sub-management and sub-advisory contracts for the Putnam funds in June 2013. That approval, on which the Trustees voted at an in-person meeting held on June 20 and 21, 2013, followed a lengthy process during which the Trustees considered a variety of factors that the Trustees considered to have a bearing on the contracts.Appendix Fcontains a general description of the Trustees’ deliberations.

At their in-person meeting on October 18, 2013, the Trustees, including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act, considered the potential implications of Mr. Desmarais’ death and the Transfer. To address the possibility that the Transfer constituted an assignment of the funds’ management contracts, on October 18, 2013, the Trustees unanimously voted to approve interim management contracts for the funds.The Trustees considered that, except for certain non-substantive changes, the effective date (October 8, 2013) and duration (until the earlier of either (i) March 7, 2014 (which, pursuant to Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act, represents the maximum allowable 150-day duration of an interim management contract) or (ii) the effective date of new management contracts that have been approved by fund shareholders, unless the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff permits the contracts’ continuance through a later date), the interim management contracts were identical to the funds’ previous management contracts. Under the interim management contracts, Putnam Management provides investment advisory services to each fund on essentially the same terms and conditions, and for the same fees, as it did under the previous management contracts.

On November 21 and 22, 2013, the Trustees met in person to discuss further the Transfer and the possibility that a change of control of Putnam Management had occurred. The Trustees considered the approval of new management contracts for each fund, proposed to become effective upon their execution following approval by shareholders, as well as calling a special meeting of fund shareholders and filing a preliminary proxy statement. They reviewed the terms of the proposed new management contracts and the disclosure included in the preliminary proxy statement. They noted that, as described above, the terms of the proposed new management contracts were identical to the previous management contracts, except for the effective dates and initial terms and for certain non-substantive changes. In particular, the Trustees considered:

• Information about the operations of The Desmarais Family Residuary Trust, including that Paul Desmarais, Jr. and André Desmarais, Mr. Desmarais’ sons, were expected to exercise, jointly, voting control over the Power Corporation of Canada shares controlled by The Desmarais Family Residuary Trust.

• That Paul Desmarais, Jr. and André Desmarais had been playing active managerial roles at Power Corporation of Canada, with responsibility for the oversight of Power Corporation of Canada’s subsidiaries, including Putnam Investments, since Power Corporation of Canada had acquired Putnam Investments in 2007, including serving as Directors of Putnam Investments, and that the Transfer would not affect their responsibilities as officers of Power Corporation of Canada.

• The intention expressed by representatives of Power Corporation of Canada, Power Financial Corporation, and Great-West Lifeco that there would be no change to the operations or management of Putnam Investments, to Putnam Management’s management of the funds or to investment, advisory and other services provided to the funds by Putnam Management and its affiliates as a result of the Transfer.

• Putnam Management’s assurances that, following the Transfer, Putnam Management would continue to provide the same level of services to each fund and that the Transfer will not have an adverse impact on the ability of Putnam Management and

its affiliates to continue to provide high quality investment advisory and other services to the funds.

• Putnam Management’s assurances that there are no current plans to make any changes to the operations of the funds, existing management fees, expense limitations, distribution arrangements, or the quality of any services provided to the funds or their shareholders, as a result of the Transfer.

• The benefits that the funds have received and may potentially receive as a result of Putnam Management being a member of the Power Corporation of Canada group of companies, which promotes the stability of the Putnam organization.

• The commitment of Putnam Investments to bear a reasonable share of the expenses incurred by the Putnam funds in connection with the Transfer (see page 28 below).

Based upon the foregoing considerations, the Trustees concluded that, to eliminate any ambiguity as to the status of your fund’s management contract, it was in the best interests of your fund’s shareholders to call a special meeting so that shareholders may approve a new management contract with Putnam Management and Putnam Management can continue as your fund’s investment adviser. On November 22, 2013, the Trustees, including all of the Trustees present who are not “interested persons” of the funds or Putnam Investments, unanimously approved the proposed new management contracts and determined to recommend their approval to the shareholders of the Putnam funds.

What is the voting requirement for approving the proposal?

Approval of your fund’s proposed new management contract requires the affirmative vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the fund, which is defined under the 1940 Act to bethe lesser of(a) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the fund, or (b) 67% or more of the shares of the fund present (in person or by proxy) at the special meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the fund are present at the meeting in person or by proxy.The Trustees unanimously recommend that shareholders vote FOR the proposed new management contracts.

2. ELECTING TRUSTEES

Affected funds:All open-end funds (i.e.,all funds except Putnam High Income Securities Fund, Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust, Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust, Putnam Municipal Opportunities Trust, and Putnam Premier Income Trust)

Who are the nominees for Trustees?

The Board Policy and Nominating Committee of the Board is responsible for making recommendations concerning the nominees for Trustees of your fund. The Board Policy and Nominating Committee consists solely of Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of your fund. Those Trustees who are not “interested persons” of your fundare referred to as “Independent Trustees” in this Section II of this proxy statement.

The Board, based on the recommendation of the Board Policy and Nominating Committee, has fixed the number of Trustees of your fund at 14 and recommends that you vote for the election of the nominees described in the following pages. Each nominee is currently a Trustee of your fund and of the other Putnam funds.

Your fund does not regularly hold an annual shareholder meeting, but may from time to time schedule a special meeting. Except for Putnam Asia Pacific Equity Fund and Putnam International Value Fund, each of which held a special meeting in 2011, the last such meeting was held in 2009. Funds that commenced operations after 2009 have not yet held any shareholder meeting.

The Board’s nominees for Trustees and their backgrounds are shown in the following pages. This information includes each nominee’s name, year of birth, principal occupation(s) during the past five years, and other information about the nominee’s professional background, including other directorships the nominee holds.

The Board Policy and Nominating Committee is responsible for recommending proposed nominees for election to the Board of Trustees for its approval.

Each of the nominees has agreed to serve as a Trustee, if elected. If any of the nominees is unavailable for election at the time of the special meeting, which is not anticipated, the Trustees may vote for other nominees at their discretion, or the Trustees may fix the number of Trustees at fewer than 14 for your fund.

What are the Trustees’ responsibilities?

Your fund’s Trustees are responsible for the general oversight of your fund’s affairs and for assuring that your fund is managed in the best interests of its shareholders. The Trustees regularly review your fund’s investment performance as well as the quality of other services provided to your fund and its shareholders by Putnam Management and its affiliates, including administration, distribution and shareholder servicing. At least annually, the Trustees review and evaluate the fees and operating expenses paid by your fund for these services and negotiate changes if they deem it appropriate. In carrying out these responsibilities, the Trustees are assisted by an independent administrative staff and by your fund’s auditors, independent counsel and other experts as appropriate, selected by and responsible to the Trustees.

Board Leadership Structure.Currently, 13 of the 14 Trustees of your fund are Independent Trustees. These Independent Trustees must vote separately to approve all financial arrangements and other agreements with your fund’s investment manager and other affiliated parties. The role of the Independent Trustees has been characterized as that of a “watchdog” charged with oversight to protect shareholders’ interests against overreaching and abuse by those who are in a position

to control or influence a fund. Your fund’s Independent Trustees meet regularly as a group in executive session. An Independent Trustee currently serves as chair of the Board.

Board Committees.Taking into account the number, the diversity and the complexity of the funds overseen by the Board and the aggregate amount of assets under management, your fund’s Trustees have determined that the efficient conduct of the Board’s affairs makes it desirable to delegate responsibility for certain specific matters to committees of the Board. Certain committees (the Executive Committee, Distributions Committee and Audit and Compliance Committee) are authorized to act for the Trustees as specified in their charters. The other committees review and evaluate matters specified in their charters and make recommendations to the Trustees as they deem appropriate. Each committee may utilize the resources of your fund’s auditors, independent staff and counsel as well as other experts. The committees meet as often as necessary, either in conjunction with regular meetings of the Trustees or otherwise. The membership and chair of each committee are appointed by the Trustees upon recommendation of the Board Policy and Nominating Committee. Each committee is chaired by an Independent Trustee and, except as noted below, the membership and chairs of each committee consist exclusively of Independent Trustees.

The Trustees have determined that this committee structure also allows the Board to focus more effectively on the oversight of risk as part of its broader oversight of the fund’s affairs. While risk management is the primary responsibility of the fund’s investment manager, the Trustees regularly receive reports regarding investment risks and compliance risks. The Board’s committee structure allows separate committees to focus on different aspects of these risks and their potential impact on some or all of the funds and to discuss with the fund’s investment manager how it monitors and controls such risks.

Audit and Compliance Committee.The Audit and Compliance Committee provides oversight on matters relating to the preparation of the Putnam funds’ financial statements, compliance matters, internal audit functions, and Codes of Ethics issues. This oversight is discharged by regularly meeting with management and the funds’ auditors and keeping current on industry developments. Duties of this Committee also include the review and evaluation of all matters and relationships pertaining to the funds’ auditors, including their independence. Information about the fees billed to the fund by the funds’ auditors, as well as information about the Committee’s pre-approval policies relating to the work performed by the funds’ auditors, is included inAppendix Gof this proxy statement. The members of the Committee include only Independent Trustees. Each member of the Committee also is “independent,” as that term is interpreted for purposes of Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. The Board has adopted a written charter for the Committee, a current copy of which is available atwww.putnam.com/about-putnam/. TheCommittee currently consists of Messrs. Leibler (Chairperson), Curtis, Darretta and Hill and Mses. Baumann and Domotorffy.

Board Policy and Nominating Committee.The Board Policy and Nominating Committee reviews matters pertaining to the operations of the Board and its committees, the compensation of the Trustees and their staff, and the conduct of legal affairs for the Putnam funds. The Committee also oversees the voting of proxies associated with portfolio investments of the Putnam funds, with the goal of ensuring that these proxies are voted in the best interest of each fund’s shareholders.

The Committee evaluates and recommends all candidates for election as Trustees and recommends the appointment of members and chairs of each Board committee. The Committee also identifies prospective nominees for election as Trustee by considering individuals that come to its attention through the recommendation of current Trustees, Putnam Management or shareholders. Candidates properly submitted by shareholders (as described below) will be considered and evaluated on the same basis as candidates recommended by other sources. The Committee may, but is not required to, engage a third-party professional search firm to assist it in identifying and evaluating potential nominees.

When evaluating a potential candidate for membership on the Board, the Committee considers the skills and characteristics that it determines would most benefit the Putnam funds at the time the evaluation is made. The Committee may take into account a wide variety of attributes in considering potential Trustee candidates, including, but not limited to: (i) availability and commitment of a candidate to attend meetings and perform his or her responsibilities to the Board, (ii) other board experience, (iii) relevant industry and related experience, (iv) educational background, (v) financial expertise, (vi) an assessment of the candidate’s ability, judgment and expertise, (vii) an assessment of the perceived needs of the Board and its committees at that point in time and (viii) overall Board composition. The Committee generally believes that the Board benefits from diversity of background, experience and views among its members, and considers this as a factor in evaluating the composition of the Board, but has not adopted any specific policy in this regard. In connection with this evaluation, the Committee will determine whether to interview prospective nominees, and, if warranted, one or more members of the Committee, and other Trustees and representatives of the funds, as appropriate, will interview prospective nominees in person or by telephone. Once this evaluation is completed, the Committee recommends such candidates as it determines appropriate to the Independent Trustees for nomination, and the Independent Trustees select the nominees after considering the recommendation of the Committee.

The Committee will consider nominees for Trustee recommended by shareholders of a fund provided shareholders submit their recommendations by the date disclosed in the paragraphs entitled “Date for receipt of shareholders’ proposals

for subsequent meetings of shareholders” in the section “Further Information About Voting and the Special Meeting,” and provided the shareholders’ recommendations otherwise comply with applicable securities laws, including Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

The Committee consists only of Independent Trustees. The Trustees have adopted a written charter for the Board Policy and Nominating Committee, a current copy of which is available atwww.putnam.com/about-putnam/. The Board Policy and Nominating Committee currently consists of Messrs. Hill (Chairperson), Curtis, Patterson and Putnam and Ms. Baxter.

Brokerage Committee.The Brokerage Committee reviews the Putnam funds’ policies regarding the execution of portfolio trades and Putnam Management’s practices and procedures relating to the implementation of those policies. The Committee reviews periodic reports on the cost and quality of execution of portfolio transactions and the extent to which brokerage commissions have been used (i) by Putnam Management to obtain brokerage and research services generally useful to it in managing the portfolios of the funds and of its other clients, and (ii) by the funds to pay for certain fund expenses. The Committee reports to the Trustees and makes recommendations to the Trustees regarding these matters. The Committee currently consists of Dr. Joskow (Chairperson), Ms. Baxter and Messrs. Ahamed, Akhoury, Patterson, Putnam and Stephens.

Contract Committee.The Contract Committee reviews and evaluates at least annually all arrangements pertaining to (i) the engagement of Putnam Management and its affiliates to provide services to the Putnam funds, (ii) the expenditure of the funds’ assets for distribution purposes pursuant to Distribution Plans of the funds, and (iii) the engagement of other persons to provide material services to the funds, including in particular those instances where the cost of services is shared between the funds and Putnam Management and its affiliates or where Putnam Management or its affiliates have a material interest. The Committee also reviews the proposed organization of new fund products, proposed structural changes to existing funds and matters relating to closed-end funds. The Committee reports and makes recommendations to the Trustees regarding these matters. The Committee currently consists of Mr. Patterson (Chairperson), Dr. Joskow, Ms. Baxter and Messrs. Ahamed, Akhoury, Putnam and Stephens.

Distributions Committee.The Distributions Committee oversees all dividends and distributions by the Putnam funds. The Committee makes recommendations to the Trustees of the funds regarding the amount and timing of distributions paid by the funds, and determines such matters when the Trustees are not in session. The Committee also oversees the policies and procedures pursuant to which Putnam Management prepares recommendations for distributions, and meets regularly with representatives of Putnam Management to review the implementation of these policies and procedures. The Committee reports to the Trustees and makes recommendations to theTrustees regarding these matters. The Committee currently consists of Ms. Baumann (Chairperson), Ms. Domotorffy and Messrs. Curtis, Darretta, Hill and Leibler.

Executive Committee.The functions of the Executive Committee are twofold. The first is to ensure that the Putnam funds’ business may be conducted at times when it is not feasible to convene a meeting of the Trustees or for the Trustees to act by written consent. The Committee may exercise any or all of the power and authority of the Trustees when the Trustees are not in session. The second is to establish annual and ongoing goals, objectives and priorities for the Board, and to ensure coordination of all efforts between the Trustees and Putnam Management on behalf of the shareholders of the funds. The Committee currently consists of Ms. Baxter (Chairperson) and Messrs. Hill, Leibler, Patterson and Putnam.

Investment Oversight Committees.The Investment Oversight Committees regularly meet with investment personnel of Putnam Management to review the investment performance and strategies of the Putnam funds in light of their stated investment objectives and policies. The Committees seek to identify any compliance issues that are unique to the applicable categories of funds and work with the appropriate Board committees to ensure that any such issues are properly addressed. Investment Oversight Committee A currently consists of Messrs. Akhoury (Chairperson), Ahamed, Darretta, Hill, Patterson and Reynolds and Ms. Baxter. Investment Oversight Committee B currently consists of Messrs. Putnam (Chairperson), Curtis, Leibler and Stephens, Dr. Joskow and Mses. Baumann and Domotorffy.

Pricing Committee.The Pricing Committee oversees the valuation of assets of the Putnam funds and reviews the funds’ policies and procedures for achieving accurate and timely pricing of fund shares. The Committee also oversees implementation of these policies, including fair value determinations of individual securities made by Putnam Management or other designated agents of the funds. The Committee also oversees compliance by money market funds with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and the correction of occasional pricing errors. The Committee also reviews matters related to the liquidity of portfolio holdings. The Committee reports to the Trustees and makes recommendations to the Trustees regarding these matters. The Committee currently consists of Messrs. Darretta (Chairperson), Curtis, Hill and Leibler and Mses. Baumann and Domotorffy.

How large a stake do the Trustees have in the Putnam family of funds?

The Trustees allocate their investments among the Putnam funds based on their own investment needs. The number of shares beneficially owned by each nominee for Trustee, as well as the value of each nominee’s holdings in each fund and in all of the Putnam funds as of September 30, 2013 is included inAppendix H. As a group, the Trustees owned shares of the Putnam funds valued at approximately $95,601,009.14, as of September 30, 2013.

As of September 30, 2013, to the knowledge of your fund, each Trustee, and the officers and Trustees of the fund as a group, owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each class of each fund, except as listed inAppendix H.

How can shareholders communicate with the Trustees?

The Board provides a process for shareholders to send communications to the Trustees. Shareholders may direct communications to the Board as a whole or to specified individual Trustees by submitting them in writing to the following address:

The Putnam funds

Attention: “Board of Trustees” or any specified Trustee(s)

One Post Office Square

Boston, Massachusetts 02109

Written communications must include the shareholder’s name, be signed by the shareholder, refer to the Putnam fund(s) in which the shareholder holds shares and include the class and number of shares held by the shareholder as of a recent date.

Representatives of the funds’ transfer agent will review all communications sent to Trustees and, as deemed appropriate, will provide copies and/or summaries of communications to the Trustees.

How often do the Trustees meet?

The Trustees currently hold regular in-person meetings eight times each year, usually over a two-day period, to review the operations of the Putnam funds. A portion of these meetings is devoted to meetings of various committees of the Board that focus on particular matters. Each Independent Trustee generally attends at least two formal committee meetings during each regular meeting of the Trustees. In addition, the Trustees meet in small groups with senior investment personnel and portfolio managers to review recent performance and the current investment climate for selected funds. These meetings ensure that fund performance is reviewed in detail on at least an annual basis. The committees of the Board, including the Executive Committee, may also meet on special occasions as the need arises. During calendar year 2012, the average Trustee participated in approximately 37 committee and Board meetings.

The number of times each committee met during calendar year 2012 is shown in the table below:


Audit and Compliance Committee	8

Board Policy and Nominating Committee	8

Brokerage Committee	5

Contract Committee	8

Distributions Committee	8

Executive Committee	3

Investment Oversight Committee A	8

Investment Oversight Committee B	8

Pricing Committee	8

The funds do not have a formal policy with respect to Trustee attendance at shareholder meetings, although, where possible, the Chair of the Trustees generally seeks to attend all meetings involving non-routine business matters. With the exception of Putnam Asia Pacific Equity Fund, Putnam High Income Securities Fund, Putnam International Value Fund, Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust, Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust, Putnam Municipal Opportunities Trust and Putnam Premier Income Trust, your fund’s Trustees other than John A. Hill did not attend the last shareholder meeting of your fund. The Trustees are generally represented at routine shareholder meetings by their independent staff and independent counsel.

What are some of the ways in which the Trustees represent shareholder interests?

Among other ways, the Trustees seek to represent shareholder interests:

• by reviewing your fund’s investment performance with your fund’s investment personnel;

• by discussing with senior management of Putnam Management steps being taken to address any performance deficiencies;

• by reviewing the quality of the various other services provided to your fund and its shareholders by Putnam Management and its affiliates;

• by reviewing in depth the fees paid by each fund and by negotiating with Putnam Management, if appropriate, to ensure that such fees remain reasonable and competitive with those of comparable funds, while at the same time providing Putnam Management sufficient resources to continue to provide high quality services in the future;

• by reviewing brokerage costs and fees, allocations among brokers, soft dollar expenditures and similar expenses of your fund;

• by monitoring potential conflicts of interest between the Putnam funds, including your fund, and Putnam Management and its affiliates to ensure that the funds continue to be managed in the best interests of their shareholders; and

• by monitoring potential conflicts among funds managed by Putnam Management to ensure that shareholders continue to realize the benefits of participation in a large and diverse family of funds.

What are the Trustees paid for their services?

Each Independent Trustee of the fund receives an annual retainer fee and additional fees for each Trustee meeting attended and for certain related services. Independent Trustees also are reimbursed for expenses they incur relating to their service as Trustees. All of the current Independent Trustees of the fund are Trustees of all of the Putnam funds and receive fees for their services.

The Trustees periodically review their fees to ensure that the fees continue to be appropriate in light of their responsibilities as well as in relation to fees paid to trustees of other mutual fund complexes. The Board Policy and Nominating Committee, which consists solely of Independent Trustees of the fund, estimates that committee and Trustee meeting time, together with the appropriate preparation, requires the equivalent of at least four business days per Trustee meeting. The table found inAppendix Iincludes the year each Trustee became a Trustee of the Putnam funds, the fees paid to each of those Trustees by each fund included in this proxy statement for its most recent fiscal year (ended prior to October 1, 2013) and the fees paid to each of those Trustees by all of the Putnam funds during calendar year 2012.

Under a Retirement Plan in effect for Trustees of the Putnam funds elected to the Board before 2003 (the “Plan”), each eligible Trustee who retires with at least five years of service as a Trustee of the funds is entitled to receive an annual retirement benefit equal to one-half of the average annual attendance and retainer fees paid to such Trustee for calendar years 2003, 2004 and 2005. This retirement benefit is payable during a Trustee’s lifetime, beginning the year following retirement, for the number of years of service through December 31, 2006. A death benefit, also available under the Plan, ensures that the Trustee and his or her beneficiaries will receive benefit payments for the lesser of an aggregate period of (i) ten years or (ii) such Trustee’s total years of service.

The Plan Administrator (currently the Board Policy and Nominating Committee) may terminate or amend the Plan at any time, but no termination or amendment will result in a reduction in the amount of benefits (i) currently being paid to a Trustee at the time of such termination or amendment, or (ii) to which a current Trustee would have been entitled had he or she retired immediately prior to such termination or amendment. The Trustees have terminated the Plan with respect to any Trustee first elected to the Board after 2003.

Why should you vote for your fund’s nominees?

Your current Trustees are independent, experienced, and highly qualified fiduciaries who exercise strong fund governance practices.

Independent

• The Chair of your fund, Jameson A. Baxter, is independent of Putnam Management and has served on the Board for nearly 20 years. She also serves as the Chair of the Mutual Fund Directors Forum, which provides educational and outreach programs for independent directors;

• 13 of the 14 Trustees are independent of Putnam Management; and

• The Independent Trustees are assisted by an independent administrative staff and legal counsel who are selected by the Independent Trustees and are independent of Putnam Management.

Highly Qualified

• The Trustees have significant current and past related industry experience, and have a demonstrated history of actively pursuing the interests of the fund’s shareholders; and

• The Board includes individuals with substantial professional accomplishments and prior experience in a variety of fields, including investment management, economics, finance, energy, health care, manufacturing, national security and real estate; and

Strong Governance Practices

• The Board includes a combination of long-tenured and newer members, bringing diverse perspectives to fund oversight;

• The Board has a well-established committee and oversight structure for the Putnam funds, including your fund, which has been developed over a long period of time; and

• The fund does not have a staggered board structure or other takeover defenses.

What is the voting requirement for electing Trustees?

All of the funds within a trust will vote together on the election of Trustees as a single class. If a quorum for your trust is present at the special meeting, the 14 nominees for election as Trustees who receive the greatest number of votes cast at the meeting will be elected as Trustees of your trust. The name of each trust is indicated in bold in the Notice of a Special Meeting of Shareholders on pages 1 and 2, with the funds that are series of that trust appearing below its name.The Trustees unanimously recommend that shareholders vote “FOR” the election of your fund’s nominees.

3. APPROVING AN AMENDED AND RESTATEDDECLARATION OF TRUST FOR YOUR FUND

Each Putnam fund is organized as a series of a Massachusetts business trust or as a stand-alone Massachusetts business trust (each, a “Trust”). Each Trust is governed by a declaration of trust established under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The declaration of trust sets forth, among other things, details regarding the organization and operation of a fund, shareholder rights, powers of the Trustees and the characteristics of fund shares.

The Putnam funds affected by this proposal currently operate under thirty-eight distinct declarations of trust (each a “Current Declaration” and together, the “Current Declarations”). The Current Declarations were created at different times in the past and differ from each other in a number of ways. These differences create certain inefficiencies in the operations of the Putnam funds that can be disadvantageous to the funds and their shareholders. In addition, the terms of many of the Current Declarations do not provide for the flexibility and the

same limitations of liabilities that more recent declarations of trust provide to many other mutual funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts and to their trustees and officers. The Trustees of your fund believe that the adoption of a single form of Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust (the “Revised Declaration”) for each Trust will, among other things: (i) provide the Trustees and Putnam Management increased flexibility in managing the affairs of the funds in an efficient and cost-effective manner in the best interests of shareholders; (ii) modernize and streamline certain corporate governance provisions, potentially resulting in a reduction of costs and delays over time and a reduction in the risks and costs of litigation; and (iii) eliminate certain ambiguities in and among the Current Declarations. On the basis of these and other considerations noted below, the Trustees recommend that shareholders of your fund vote to authorize the Trustees to adopt the Revised Declaration, a form of which is included herein asAppendix L.

The discussion below highlights certain differences between the Current Declarations and the Revised Declaration. The most significant changes are described below under the caption “Significant Changes.” There are other differences between the Revised Declaration and the Current Declarations, mostly in the nature of clarifying and conforming changes, certain of which are described below under the caption “Other Changes.” Because there are many variations among the Current Declarations, not all of the changes described below will necessarily pertain to your fund. In addition, not all of the differences between the Current Declarations and the Revised Declaration are described below, so you should carefully review the form of the Revised Declaration inAppendix L. For a copy of your fund’s Current Declaration, you may call Putnam Investments at 1-800-225-1581. Your fund’s Current Declaration is also on file with the Secretary of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and may be accessed at the Secretary’s website atwww.sec.state.ma.us.

Significant Changes

1. Class Reorganizations and Terminations (all funds)

Each Current Declaration permits the Trustees to divide the shares of any series into one or more classes. The Trustees have historically used this power to create classes of shares that reflect different methods of distribution. It may be desirable at some point in the future for the Trustees to discontinue certain share classes, in which case it may be desirable to reorganize the shares of a discontinued class with another series or class or to liquidate the shares of such class. The Revised Declaration (Article III, Section 1) clarifies the Trustees’ authority to combine shares of two or more classes of a fund into a single class without shareholder approval. Likewise, the Revised Declaration (Article IX, Section 5) permits the Trustees to authorize the reorganization of a class (by way of merger, consolidation or sale of assets) with another entity (including another series or class) without shareholder approval to the extent permitted by law. Finally, the Revised Declaration permits the Trustees toterminate and liquidate a particular class without shareholder approval. These additional powers are intended to provide the Board the flexibility to implement changes in a fund’s class structure that it believes to be in the shareholders’ best interests, without causing the funds to incur the time and expense of soliciting shareholder approval. Putnam Management has advised the Trustees that it has no present intention of proposing any changes in the current class structure of the funds.

2. Derivative Actions and Exclusive Selection of Forum for Certain Shareholder Actions (all funds)

The Revised Declaration (Article III, Section 6) provides that a shareholder may not bring or maintain any court action, proceeding or claim on behalf of a Trust without first making demand on the Trustees requesting the Trustees to bring the action. The Current Declarations do not contain a similar provision, although Massachusetts courts have generally imposed a similar demand requirement in the past based on the Trustees’ inherent authority to manage all affairs of the Trust, including the bringing of litigation on behalf of the Trust. This requirement also conforms to a recent change in Massachusetts law applicable to business corporations requiring that demand be made in all circumstances. The requirement for shareholder demand is intended to prevent the potential disruption and expense that could result when a shareholder attempts to bring a suit that the Trustees in their judgment do not believe would be in the best interests of a Trust. The effect of these changes may be to discourage suits brought on behalf of the funds by shareholders against Putnam Management or the Trustees, but is not intended to affect any right of shareholders to bring actions in their own name.

The Revised Declaration (Article III, Section 7) also provides that any action brought by a shareholder seeking to enforce any right or privilege of shareholders under the Revised Declaration, challenging the powers of the Trustees thereunder, alleging a breach of fiduciary duty by any Trustee or officer of a Trust, or otherwise involving primarily the internal affairs of a Trust may be brought only in the courts of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Current Declarations do not contain a similar provision. This proposed change is intended to ensure that the courts of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts will be the exclusive forum in which certain lawsuits against a fund, its Trustees or officers may be brought. In recent years, lawsuits against mutual funds and their officers and directors have often been brought and decided outside of a fund’s state of organization. Forum selection provisions can benefit funds and their shareholders by reducing the cost and disruption of multi-forum litigation (i.e.,litigation brought by shareholders simultaneously in different forums that challenges the same action) and limiting the ability of plaintiffs’ lawyers to seek out judicial forums that are particularly favorable to plaintiffs’ actions, sometimes referred to as “forum shopping.” Forum selection provisions are intended to permit a fund and its shareholders to benefit from the special expertise and long history of Massachusetts courts in dealing with declarations of trust governing the affairs of entities organized as Massachusetts

business trusts. This provision would not, however, limit the ability of plaintiffs to bring actions outside of Massachusetts with respect to claims that do not fall within the scope of the forum selection provision, such as claims based on violations of federal securities law, contract claims or tort claims.

3. Removal of a Trustee (all funds)

The Revised Declaration (Article IV, Section 2) provides that a Trustee may be removed by the vote of two-thirds of the remaining Trustees or by the vote of two-thirds of a fund’s outstanding shares. Under the Current Declarations, the only mechanism for removing a Trustee is by the vote of two-thirds of the fund’s outstanding shares. This change is intended to increase administrative efficiency by providing Trustees the authority to remove a Trustee without causing the funds to incur the time and expense of soliciting shareholder approval. A Trustee would only be removed if the remaining Trustees deem such removal as necessary to ensure the effective operation of the Board or otherwise serve the best interests of shareholders, for example, to deal with the situation of a trustee who has become incapacitated, who refuses to resign in accordance with the Board’s retirement policy, or who has become involved in personal or business-related legal matters that could call into question his or her continuing fitness to serve. The ability of the Board to remove a Trustee without shareholder action is also consistent with recent changes in Massachusetts law applicable to business corporations.

4. Involuntary Redemptions (all funds)

The Current Declarations generally provide that the Trustees have the power to redeem the shares of any shareholder if either (i) the shareholder owns fewer shares than, or shares having an aggregate net asset value less than, an amount determined from time to time by the Trustees (the current minimum is 20 shares) or (ii) the shareholder owns shares of the fund in excess of a maximum amount set by the Trustees. In addition to these circumstances, the Revised Declaration (Article VI, Section 3) permits a fund to make involuntary redemptions in certain additional circumstances, including: (i) if a shareholder fails to supply appropriate personal and tax identification information requested by the fund; (ii) if a shareholder fails to meet or maintain the qualifications for ownership of a particular series or class; (iii) to collect a small account fee imposed on certain accounts (as described further below); or (iv) if the Trustees determine for any other reason, in their sole discretion, that the ownership of fund shares by a shareholder is not in the best interests of the remaining shareholders of the Trust or of the applicable series or class. Possible circumstances in which the Trustees may determine that a shareholder’s ownership of fund shares is not in the best interests of the remaining shareholders include situations in which a shareholder repeatedly violates short-term trading restrictions or otherwise abuses shareholder privileges, resides in a particular foreign jurisdiction that may result in the imposition of regulatory restrictions on the fund, or is added to the Specially Designated Nationals List maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control within the U.S. Department of the Treasury (or similar list of persons subject tosanction). A fund will provide advance notice to a shareholder of the intention to redeem shares involuntarily.

It is common for mutual funds to pay transfer agent and other shareholder servicing costs that are incurred in whole or in part on a per account basis. As a result, having a large number of relatively small shareholder accounts can potentially increase a fund’s expense ratio, with larger shareholders bearing a disproportionate amount of such costs. The Current Declarations already permit the Trustees to redeem all shares held in an account falling below a number fixed by the Trustees. The Revised Declaration would provide the Trustees the additional flexibility to impose fees on accounts that do not meet a minimum investment amount and to redeem shares in any such account in an amount required to pay such fees. This would allow a fund to cause those shareholders who maintain small accounts to bear a fair portion of the costs of maintaining small accounts in lieu of redeeming such accounts altogether. A fund will provide advance notice to shareholders of its intention to impose fees on accounts that do not exceed a minimum investment size. Any such action would be subject to approval by the Trustees on such terms as they consider to be in the best interests of all shareholders. Any such fee would be retained by the fund (as an offset to transfer agency fees), and would not be paid to Putnam Management.

5. Indemnification of Trustees, Officers, etc. (all funds)

The Revised Declaration (Article VIII, Section 1) modifies certain provisions relating to the availability of indemnification to the Trust’s Trustees and officers (including persons who serve at the Trust’s request as directors, officers or trustees of another organization in which the Trust has any interest as a shareholder, creditor or otherwise) (each a “Covered Person”). Under the Revised Declaration, a Covered Person would not be indemnified with respect to any matter as to which such person had been finally adjudicated (i) not to have acted in good faith, (ii) not to have acted in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of a Trust or at least was not opposed to the best interest of the Trust, (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, to have had reasonable cause to believe his or her action was unlawful, or (iv) to be liable by reason of such person’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties (referred to below as “Disabling Conduct”). The Current Declarations contain a similar provision but do not expressly permit indemnification in circumstances where such person has been finally adjudicated to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was not opposed to the best interest of the Trust. The Current Declarations also do not contain the exception noted above for criminal proceedings. These changes are intended to conform to recent changes in law applicable to Massachusetts corporations.

The Revised Declaration (Article VIII, Section 1) also adds a provision that creates a rebuttable presumption in favor of a Covered Person when determining whether there is reason to believe the Covered Person ultimately will be entitled to indemnification and hence may receive advancements of expenses in connection with indemnification. The Revised Declaration provides that the

persons making determinations concerning advance payments will afford the Covered Person a rebuttable presumption that he or she did not engage in Disabling Conduct. This rebuttable presumption is consistent with recent guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission staff. The Revised Declaration both provides greater certainty to Trustees and other indemnified persons as to the circumstances where they might be denied indemnification, and makes it less likely in most circumstances that a Covered Person will be denied indemnification. The Trustees believe that providing for indemnification to the extent permitted by law is consistent with best corporate practices and will aid in attracting and retaining high quality members of the Board.

6. Limitation of Liability (all funds)

The Revised Declaration (Article VII, Section 2) clarifies that the duties, obligations and liability imposed upon a Trustee that is appointed, designated or identified as an officer of the fund or a member of any committee of the Trustees, or as an expert with respect to certain matters (including an audit committee financial expert), or a Trustee who has special skills or expertise shall be the same as those imposed on a Trustee in the absence of such appointment, designation, identification or expertise. The Revised Declaration also clarifies that no such appointment, designation, identification or expertise would affect any right or privilege to which the Trustee would otherwise be entitled as a Trustee, including the right to indemnification. While the Current Declarations do not address the standard of care with respect to Trustees with special skills or designations, nothing herein is intended to suggest that a different result was intended by the Current Declarations.

In the Security and Exchange Commission’s 2003 adopting release for disclosure requirements related to the “audit committee financial expert” designation, the Securities and Exchange Commission stated that “[w]e find no support in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or in related legislative history that Congress intended to change the duties, obligations or liability of any audit committee member, including the audit committee financial expert, through this provision.” Although this is persuasive guidance, the standard of care imposed on a Trustee is primarily a matter governed by Massachusetts law rather than by federal law or regulations. The proposed change is intended to provide an extra safeguard for the Trustees in the event of litigation, making it clear that one standard of liability applies for all Trustees without regard to designation of additional responsibilities or titles or any actual or implied individual expertise or qualifications. By providing greater clarity regarding the applicable standard of care, the Trustees hope to reduce the uncertainties associated with potential litigation and enhance the ability of the funds to attract and retain high quality members of the Board.

7. Merger, Consolidation, Sale of Assets and Other Reorganizations (all funds)

The Revised Declaration (Article IX, Section 5) permits the Trustees to authorize various types of reorganizationtransactions in which a Trust, or a series or class, may be combined with another entity, typically another mutual fund. Such transactions are typically contemplated when a fund has declined in size to a point where it is no longer able to operate at an efficient cost level or to effectively distribute its shares, to reduce existing overlap in portfolios within the same asset class of a family of funds, and to change a fund’s investment philosophy, among others. For most funds, the Current Declarations already permit the Trustees to sell or exchange all or substantially all of the assets of the Trust without shareholder authorization, but is otherwise silent with regard to other types of reorganization transactions. However, in the case of those Affected Funds listed below, shareholder authorization is explicitly required before some or all sales or exchanges of all or substantially all of the assets of the Trust or before some or all mergers or consolidations of the Trust with any other trust or corporation, as further described below.

The proposed changes would expand the authority of the Trustees to authorize reorganization transactions for all open-end Putnam funds without shareholder approval where permitted by applicable law. The proposed changes would permit the Trustees to make decisions they believe are in the shareholders’ best interests when considering a reorganization of a Trust (or a series or class of the Trust) without causing a Trust to incur the time and expense of soliciting shareholder approval, unless the law otherwise requires it.

Any exercise of the Trustees’ increased authority under the Revised Declaration would be subject to the Trustees’ general fiduciary responsibilities to act in the best interests of all shareholders and subject to the requirements of applicable law, including the 1940 Act. For example, Rule 17a-8 under the 1940 Act requires reorganizations involving affiliated funds to be approved by the shareholders of the trust or series being acquired unless certain conditions are satisfied. Because of this regulatory requirement, some transactions will continue to require shareholder approval. Should shareholders approve the Revised Declaration, shareholders would not have the right to vote under the Trust’s organizational document on any reorganization that may be effected without a shareholder vote pursuant to Rule 17a-8, unless the Trustees determined that it would be appropriate in the circumstance to permit shareholders to vote on the reorganization.

Affected Funds: Putnam Convertible Securities Fund, Putnam Global Equity Fund, Putnam Income Fund, Putnam Investors Fund, and Putnam Voyager Fund are currently not permitted to engage in any form of reorganization without shareholder approval; The Putnam Fund for Growth and Income and The George Putnam Fund of Boston (d/b/a George Putnam Balanced Fund) are currently not permitted to sell all of the Trust property as a whole without shareholder approval; the remaining open-end funds would be affected only by the additional authority to engage in mergers or consolidations.

8. Redemption Fees (listed funds only)

The Revised Declaration (Article VI, Section 2) makes explicit that fees or charges may be imposed on shares being redeemed. Such fees or charges would typically be applied in circumstances where the Trustees believe that such fees are necessary or appropriate to protect non-redeeming shareholders from the transaction costs associated with redemptions, for example, during periods of market turmoil resulting in reduced trading liquidity. Any such fees would be retained by the fund and would not be paid to Putnam Management. While the Current Declarations for most funds state that the Trustees may impose redemption fees, the declarations of trust of the Affected Funds listed below do not explicitly contemplate this power. In order to conform your fund’s Current Declaration with the majority of the Putnam funds’ declarations of trust and to avoid any ambiguity with respect to the ability of a fund to impose redemption fees, the Trustees believe it is prudent to make this power explicit in each fund’s Revised Declaration.

Affected Funds: Putnam American Government Income Fund, Putnam California Tax Exempt Income Fund, Putnam Convertible Securities Fund, Putnam Equity Income Fund, The Putnam Fund for Growth and Income, The George Putnam Fund of Boston (d/b/a George Putnam Balanced Fund), Putnam Global Equity Fund, Putnam Global Health Care Fund, Putnam Global Income Trust, Putnam Global Natural Resources Fund, Putnam High Yield Advantage Fund, Putnam High Yield Trust, Putnam Income Fund, Putnam International Equity Fund, Putnam Investors Fund, Putnam Massachusetts Tax Exempt Income Fund, Putnam Michigan Tax Exempt Income Fund, Putnam Minnesota Tax Exempt Income Fund, Putnam Money Market Fund, Putnam New York Tax Exempt Income Fund, Putnam Ohio Tax Exempt Income Fund, Putnam Tax Exempt Income Fund, Putnam U.S. Government Income Trust, and Putnam Voyager Fund.

9. In-Kind Redemptions and Distributions (listed funds only)

The Revised Declaration (Article VI, Sections 1 and 2) clarifies that redemption and distribution payments made to shareholders may be made in cash, fund shares or other property, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Trustees. While the Current Declarations for most funds expressly permit the Trustees to make redemption payments in property other than cash or fund shares (e.g., a fund’s portfolio securities), the Current Declarations for the Affected Funds listed below do not explicitly contemplate such an “in-kind” redemption or distribution. The Trustees believe that standardizing the provisions relating to in-kind redemptions and distributions across the funds’ declarations of trust would enhance efficiency in administering the Putnam funds. The Trustees expect that the flexibility to pay redemptions in-kind would be used only in extraordinary circumstances, for example, to ensure that transaction costs associated with unusually large and unanticipated redemptions or large redemptions during periods of unusually limited market liquidity are not borne by all other fund shareholders, and would not be used where doing so would be prohibited bythe laws of any jurisdiction where shares of the Affected Fund are registered for sale. In addition, if the Revised Declaration is approved for a Trust, the Trust intends to file an election with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act, which will commit the Trust to pay in cash in all cases involving requests for redemption by a single shareholder during any 90-day period of up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the relevant fund’s net asset value measured at the beginning of the 90-day period.

Affected Funds for In-Kind Distributions: Putnam American Government Income Fund, Putnam AMT-Free Municipal Fund, Putnam California Tax Exempt Income Fund, Putnam Convertible Securities Fund, Putnam Diversified Income Trust, Putnam Equity Income Fund, The Putnam Fund for Growth and Income, The George Putnam Fund of Boston (d/b/a George Putnam Balanced Fund), Putnam Global Equity Fund, Putnam Global Health Care Fund, Putnam Global Income Trust, Putnam Global Natural Resources Fund, Putnam High Yield Advantage Fund, Putnam High Yield Trust, Putnam Income Fund, Putnam International Equity Fund, Putnam Investors Fund, Putnam Massachusetts Tax Exempt Income Fund, Putnam Michigan Tax Exempt Income Fund, Putnam Minnesota Tax Exempt Income Fund, Putnam Money Market Fund, Putnam New York Tax Exempt Income Fund, Putnam Ohio Tax Exempt Income Fund, Putnam Tax Exempt Income Fund, Putnam Tax-Free High Yield Fund, Putnam U.S. Government Income Trust, and Putnam Voyager Fund.

Affected Funds for In-Kind Redemptions: Putnam American Government Income Fund, Putnam AMT-Free Municipal Fund, Putnam Arizona Tax Exempt Income Fund, Putnam California Tax Exempt Income Fund, Putnam Capital Opportunities Fund, Putnam Convertible Securities Fund, Putnam Diversified Income Trust, Putnam Dynamic Asset Allocation Balanced Fund, Putnam Dynamic Asset Allocation Conservative Fund, Putnam Dynamic Asset Allocation Growth Fund, Putnam Equity Income Fund, Putnam Europe Equity Fund, The Putnam Fund for Growth and Income, The George Putnam Fund of Boston (d/b/a George Putnam Balanced Fund), Putnam Global Equity Fund, Putnam Global Health Care Fund, Putnam Global Income Trust, Putnam Global Natural Resources Fund, Putnam Global Utilities Fund, Putnam Growth Opportunities Fund, Putnam High Yield Advantage Fund, Putnam High Yield Trust, Putnam Income Fund, Putnam International Capital Opportunities Fund, Putnam International Equity Fund, Putnam International Growth Fund, Putnam Investors Fund, Putnam Massachusetts Tax Exempt Income Fund, Putnam Michigan Tax Exempt Income Fund, Putnam Minnesota Tax Exempt Income Fund, Putnam Money Market Fund, Putnam Multi-Cap Growth Fund, Putnam Multi-Cap Value Fund, Putnam New Jersey Tax Exempt Income Fund, Putnam New York Tax Exempt Income Fund, Putnam Ohio Tax Exempt Income Fund, Putnam Pennsylvania Tax Exempt Income Fund, Putnam Research Fund, Putnam Small Cap Value Fund, Putnam Tax Exempt Income Fund, Putnam Tax Exempt

Money Market Fund, Putnam Tax-Free High Yield Fund, Putnam U.S. Government Income Trust, and Putnam Voyager Fund.

10. Amendment of the Declaration of Trust (all funds)

The proposed changes to the Revised Declaration would expand, to a certain extent, the Trustees’ authority to amend a declaration of trust without obtaining a shareholder vote. Under the Revised Declaration (Article IX, Section 8), the Trustees have the authority to amend the declaration of trust without shareholder approval if (i) the amendment would be for the purpose of changing the name of the Trust or curing any omission, ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or (ii) the amendment would not, in the judgment of the Trustees, have a material adverse effect on the shareholders of any series or class of shares. In contrast, the Current Declarations for most funds permit the Trustees to amend the declaration of trust without shareholder authorization only for the purpose of changing the name of the Trust or curing any omission, ambiguity, defect or inconsistency. (In the case of The Putnam Fund for Growth and Income and The George Putnam Fund of Boston (d/b/a George Putnam Balanced Fund), the Current Declarations permit the Trustees to amend the declaration of trust without shareholder authorization to change the name of the Trust only in certain limited circumstances.) The proposed changes are designed to give the Trustees the flexibility to react quickly to future contingencies, changes to applicable law or other changes, and to take action without causing the Trust to incur the time and expense of soliciting shareholder approval. These situations could arise as a result of regulatory changes or changes in markets or mutual fund structures generally. In addition, any exercise of this power by the Trustees would be subject to their general fiduciary responsibilities to act in the best interests of all shareholders.

Where a shareholder vote is required to authorize an amendment of the Revised Declaration, approval requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of shares voted, subject to applicable quorum requirements and applicable law. Under the Current Declarations, approval requires a vote of at least a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the matter. Obtaining the favorable vote of a majority of the outstanding shares can be difficult and expensive when shareholders do not return their proxies in sufficient numbers, even though a substantial majority of those shareholders voting have voted in favor of a proposal. These proposed changes are designed to enhance the ability of the Trustees to obtain shareholder approval of amendments to the declarations of trust provided that the current 30% quorum requirement is satisfied.

Other Changes

In addition to the changes described above, the Revised Declaration would result in numerous minor changes to many of the Current Declarations for the purposes of eliminating immaterial inconsistencies in language and clarifying potential ambiguities. None of these additional changes is considered to have a material impact on the rights and privileges of shareholdersand, in many cases, the Trustees would have the power under the Current Declarations to implement such changes in any event without shareholder approval.

What is the voting requirement for approving the proposal?

All of the funds within a Trust will vote together on the Revised Declaration, as a single class. Approval of the Revised Declaration with respect to a Trust requires the vote of a majority of the shares of such Trust outstanding and entitled to vote. If the shareholders of a Trust fail to approve the Revised Declaration, the Current Declaration will remain in effect for that Trust. The name of each trust is indicated in bold in the Notice of a Special Meeting of Shareholders on pages 1 and 2, with the funds that are series of that trust appearing below its name.

4. APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO A FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTION WITH RESPECT TO INVESTMENTS IN COMMODITIES

Affected fund:Putnam Dynamic Asset Allocation Conservative Fund only

What is this proposal?

Under the 1940 Act, a fund’s investment policy relating to the purchase and sale of commodities must be fundamental, which means that it can be modified only by a vote of a majority of the fund’s outstanding voting securities. Commodities include physical commodities, such as gold and other metals, agricultural products, and oil, as well as certain financial instruments, such as futures contracts and related options.

Putnam Dynamic Asset Allocation Conservative Fund’s current fundamental investment restriction with respect to investments in commodities states that the fund may not:

Purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments. This restriction shall not prevent the fund from purchasing or selling financial instruments representing interests in commodities (or the values of which are determined by reference to commodities), but which do not involve the delivery of physical commodities to or by the fund, or from entering into financial futures contracts, options, foreign exchange contracts and other financial transactions.

Although the fund’s current restriction expressly permits investments in financial instruments whose values are determined by reference to physical commodities, it generally prohibits direct investment in physical commodities.

The proposed amended fundamental investment restriction would state that your fund may not:

Purchase or sell commodities, except as permitted by applicable law.

This proposal would permit your fund to obtain exposure to commodities, whether through direct investment in physical commodities or through related financial instruments, in the

manner Putnam Management deems most efficient, as from time to time authorized by the Trustees.

What effect will amending the current restriction with respect to investments in commodities have on your fund?

Under the proposed fundamental investment restriction, the fund will be able to invest directly in gold and other physical commodities, as well as engage in a variety of transactions (already permitted under its current investment restriction) involving the use of commodity-linked investments, including commodity-based exchange-traded funds or notes (ETFs or ETNs) and commodity-linked notes, to the extent permitted by law and consistent with the fund’s investment objectives and policies.

Putnam Management believes that this added flexibility to invest in physical commodities could assist your fund in achieving its investment objective, because at times such investments may provide a more advantageous form of exposure to commodities than investing through financial instruments. Investments in physical commodities and commodity-linked investments may offer the opportunity for attractive investment returns because economic exposure to gold or other commodities through these investments may enhance the ability of the fund to diversify risks, particularly to the extent that the returns of commodities are not correlated with the returns of other asset classes in which the fund invests. The proposed fundamental investment restriction amendment would also align your fund’s investment restriction with the investment restriction of many other Putnam funds, which had the same amendment approved by shareholders in 2009.

The fund intends to continue to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company (a “RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If the fund qualifies as a RIC, the fund will generally not be subject to federal income tax on income and gains it distributes to its shareholders. In order to maintain its special status as a RIC, the fund must limit any “non-qualifying income” to a maximum of 10% of its annual gross income. Generally, the fund’s investments in commodity-linked derivatives or physical commodities will be limited by this requirement. Putnam Management presently has no specific intention to change the fund’s exposures to commodities or commodity-linked investments in response to the revision of the fund’s investment restriction, but this intention is subject to change based on Putnam Management’s assessment of both market conditions at any given time and those investments most likely to assist your fund in meeting its investment objective.

While commodities and commodity-linked investments offer significant potential benefits to the fund, investment in this asset class presents particular risks as well. The values of commodity-linked investments may be highly volatile, and may be subject to a wide variety of risks relevant to the particular physical commodities that are the subject of the commodity-linked investment (such as the risks of drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments) to which the markets forother investments are not typically subject. The fund is already permitted to invest in commodity-linked investments.

Investments in physical commodities, which would be permitted under the proposed investment policy, may be subject to volatility and risks similar to those applicable to commodity-linked investments, and in addition may involve different custody, storage or delivery arrangements, which may be costly, and greater custody risks than other types of commodity-related investments. These and other risks associated with investment in commodities and commodity-linked notes are described in further detail in the fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information. Putnam Management will take these risks into account in determining whether to invest directly in physical commodities.

What are the Trustees recommending?

The Trustees unanimously recommend that shareholders approve an amendment to the fund’s fundamental investment restriction with respect to investments in commodities.

What is the voting requirement for approving the proposal?

Approval of the proposed amendment to the fund’s fundamental investment restriction requires the affirmative vote of “a majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the fund, which is defined under the 1940 Act to bethe lesser of(a) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the fund, or (b) 67% or more of the shares of the fund present (in person or by proxy) at the meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the fund are present at the meeting in person or by proxy.

5. APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO AFUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICY REGARDINGDIVERSIFICATION OF INVESTMENTS

Affected funds:
Putnam Global Consumer Fund
Putnam Global Financials Fund

What is this proposal?

The Trustees recommend that each affected fund adopt a fundamental investment policy to operate as a “non-diversified” fund.

Each affected fund is currently sub-classified as a “diversified” fund for purposes of Section 5(b)(1) of the 1940 Act. As a diversified fund, with respect to 75% of its total assets, no more than 5% of each fund’s total assets may be invested in the securities of any single issuer, and it may not hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any single issuer. With respect to the remaining 25% of its total assets, there is no limit on the percentage of assets each fund may invest in the securities of a single issuer or on the outstanding voting securities of an issuer that may be held by each fund. These 1940 Act limits do not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, or to securities issued by other investment companies. These limits apply only at the time a fund purchases a security. Each affected fund may exceed these limits if positions it already holds increase in value relative to the rest of the fund’s holdings.

The Trustees, subject to shareholder approval, have approved a change to each affected fund’s sub-classification under the 1940 Act from a “diversified” fund to a “non-diversified” fund under the 1940 Act. The Trustees and Putnam Management believe that changing each affected fund from a diversified fund to a non-diversified fund would give Putnam Management more flexibility in implementing each fund’s investment strategies in response to market or industry developments or to changes in Putnam Management’s views about issuers in the relevant sector. The proposed change would also conform the affected funds’ fundamental investment restriction to the standard restriction currently used by Putnam’s other global sector funds, which operate as non-diversified funds.

Each affected fund was originally organized and operated as a non-diversified fund pursuant to the following fundamental investment policy, which matches that of other global sector funds. The policy provides that the fund may not:

With respect to 50% of its total assets, invest in securities of any issuer if, immediately after such investment, more than 5% of the total assets of the fund (taken at current value) would be invested in the securities of such issuer; provided that this limitation does not apply to obligations issued or guaranteed as to interest or principal by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities or to securities issued by other investment companies.

As discussed above, the affected funds are currently operating as diversified funds. Shareholder approval is required to permit each affected fund to once again operate as a non-diversified fund. If shareholders approve this proposal, consistent with the fundamental investment policy described above, Putnam Management would have the flexibility to operate the affected funds as non-diversified, although it has no immediate plans to alter materially its management of the affected funds.

For each of the affected funds, the proposed change would allow the fund to invest more of its assets in the securities of fewer issuers than a diversified fund. The fund would be exposed to non-diversification risk, as its ability to invest more of its assets in the securities of fewer issuers would increase its vulnerability to factors affecting a single investment; therefore, the fund may be more exposed to the risks of loss and volatility than a fund that invests more broadly.

What are the Trustees recommending?

The Trustees unanimously recommend that shareholders approve an amendment to each affected fund’s fundamental investment policy with respect to diversification of investments.

What is the voting requirement for approving the proposal?

Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the affected fund, which is defined under the 1940 act to bethe lesser of(1) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the affected fund, or (2) 67% or more of the shares of the affected fund present (in person or by proxy) at the meeting if more than 50% ofthe outstanding shares of the affected fund are present at the meeting in person or by proxy.

Further Information About Voting and the Special Meeting

Meeting Quorum and Methods of Tabulation.The shareholders of each fund vote separately with respect to approving a new management contract (Proposal 1). The shareholders of all of the series of a trust vote together as a single class with respect to the election of Trustees (Proposal 2) and approval of an Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust (Proposal 3). Shareholders of Putnam Dynamic Asset Allocation Conservative Fund vote separately with respect to approving an amendment to that fund’s fundamental investment restriction with respect to investments in commodities (Proposal 4), and shareholders of Putnam Global Consumer Fund and Putnam Global Financials Fund each vote separately with respect to approving an amendment to the fund’s fundamental investment policy with respect to diversification of investments (Proposal 5). Shares of all classes of each fund vote together as a single class. Thirty percent of the shares entitled to vote constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business with respect to any proposal at the special meeting for all funds except Putnam High Income Securities Fund, Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust, Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust, Putnam Municipal Opportunities Trust and Putnam Premier Income Trust, for which a majority of the shares entitled to vote constitutes a quorum. Votes cast by proxy or in person at the special meeting will be counted by persons your fund appoints as tellers for the meeting. The tellers will count the total number of votes cast “for” approval of a proposal for purposes of determining whether sufficient affirmative votes have been cast. Shares represented by proxies that reflect abstentions and “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or the persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have the discretionary voting power on a particular matter) will be counted as shares that are present and entitled to vote on the matter for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

The documents that authorize Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company or Putnam Investor Services, Inc. to act as Trustee for certain individual retirement accounts (including traditional, Roth and SEP IRAs, 403(b)(7) accounts and Coverdell Education Savings Accounts) provide that if an account owner does not submit voting instructions for his or her shares, Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company or Putnam Investor Services will vote such shares in the same proportions as other shareholders with similar accounts have submitted voting instructions for their shares. Shareholders should be aware that this practice, known as “echo-voting,” may have the effect of increasing the likelihood that a proposal will be acted upon (approved or disapproved) and that Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company or Putnam Investor Services, Inc., each of which is an affiliate of

Putnam Management, may benefit indirectly from the approval of the proposed management contracts.

With respect to Proposal 2, neither abstentions nor broker non-votes have an effect on the outcome of the proposal. With respect to other proposals, abstentions and broker non-votes have the effect of votes against the proposal. For Proposals 1, 4, and 5, treating broker non-votes as negative votes may result in the proposal not being approved, even though the votes cast in favor would have been sufficient to approve the proposal if some or all of the broker non-votes had been withheld. In certain circumstances in which a fund has received sufficient votes to approve a matter being recommended for approval by the fund’s Trustees, the fund may request that brokers and nominees, in their discretion, withhold or withdraw submission of broker non-votes in order to avoid the need for solicitation of additional votes in favor of the proposal. A fund may also request that selected brokers and nominees, in their discretion, submit broker non-votes, if doing so is necessary to obtain a quorum.

Shareholders who object to any proposal in this Proxy Statement will not be entitled under Massachusetts law or the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the particular Putnam fund to demand payment for, or an appraisal of, their shares.

Special Rule for Proportional Voting for Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust and Putnam Municipal Opportunities Trust.For funds listed on the New York Stock Exchange that have outstanding preferred shares, in accordance with the rules of the exchange, brokerage firms may vote for (or against) a proposal, on behalf of their clients who beneficially own the remarketed or auction rate preferred shares and from whom they have not received voting instructions, in the same proportion as votes for (and against) such proposal have been received from holders of preferred shares if (i) the holders of a minimum of 30% of the outstanding preferred shares have been voted by the holders of preferred shares, (ii) the holders of less than 10% of the outstanding preferred shares have voted against such proposal, and (iii) the holders of the common shares have approved such proposal.

Other business.The Trustees know of no matters other than those described in this proxy statement to be brought before the special meeting. If, however, any other matters properly come before the special meeting, proxies will be voted on these matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons named in the enclosed proxy card(s).

Simultaneous meetings.The special meeting of shareholders of your fund is called to be held at the same time as the meetings of shareholders of certain of the other Putnam funds. It is anticipated that all special meetings will be held simultaneously.

If any shareholder at the special meeting objects to the holding of a simultaneous meeting and moves for an adjournment of the meeting to a time promptly after the simultaneous meetings, the persons named as proxies will vote in favor of adjournment.

Information for all Putnam fundsexceptfunds that are

series of Putnam Variable Trust

Solicitation of proxies.In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, the Trustees of your fund and employees of Putnam Management and Putnam Investor Services, as well as their agents, may solicit proxies in person or by telephone. Your fund may arrange to have a proxy solicitation firm call you to record your voting instructions by telephone. The procedures for voting proxies by telephone are designed to authenticate shareholders’ identities, to allow them to authorize the voting of their shares in accordance with their instructions, and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded. Shareholders would be called at the phone number Putnam Management or Putnam Investor Services has in its records for their accounts (or that Putnam Management or Putnam Investor Services obtains from agents acting on behalf of financial intermediaries, in the case of shares held in street name through a bank, banker or other financial intermediary) and would be given an opportunity to authenticate their identities and to authorize the proxies to vote their shares at the special meeting in accordance with their instructions. To ensure that shareholders’ instructions have been recorded correctly, they will also receive a confirmation of their instructions in the mail. A special toll-free number will be available in case the information contained in the confirmation is incorrect. Your fund has been advised by counsel that these procedures are consistent with the requirements of applicable law. If these procedures were subject to a successful legal challenge, such votes would not be counted at the special meeting. Your fund is unaware of any such challenge at this time.

Shareholders have the opportunity to submit their voting instructions over the Internet by using a program provided by a third-party vendor hired by Putnam Management or by automated telephone service. The giving of a proxy will not affect your right to vote in person should you decide to attend the special meeting. To vote online using the Internet, please access the Internet address listed on the proxy card and follow the instructions on the Internet site. Note that, if you have a smart phone with a “QR” reader, you may access the Internet address by scanning the QR code on your proxy card. To record your voting instructions using the automated telephone service, use the toll-free number listed on your proxy card. The Internet and telephone voting procedures are designed to authenticate shareholder identities, to allow shareholders to give their voting instructions, and to confirm that shareholders’ instructions have been recorded properly.

Your fund’s Trustees have adopted a general policy of maintaining confidentiality in the voting of proxies. Consistent with this policy, your fund may solicit proxies from shareholders who have not voted their shares or who have abstained from voting, including brokers and nominees.

Revocation of proxies.Giving your proxy, whether by returning the proxy card(s) or providing voting instructions over the Internet or by telephone, does not affect your right to attend the special meeting and vote in person. Proxies, including proxies given by telephone or over the Internet, may be revoked at any time before

they are voted either (i) by a written revocation received by the Clerk of your fund, (ii) by properly executing and submitting a later-dated proxy, (iii) by recording later-dated voting instructions by telephone or via the Internet, or (iv) by attending the special meeting and voting in person. If your shares are held in street name through a bank, broker or other financial intermediary, please check your voting instruction form or contact your bank, broker or other financial intermediary for instructions on how to change or revoke your vote.

Information for funds that are series of

Putnam Variable Trust

Voting Process.With respect to funds that are series of Putnam Variable Trust only, as of the Record Date, certain insurance companies or funds of funds sold exclusively to insurance company separate accounts and other variable insurance products (each an “Insurance Company”) were shareholders of record of each fund that is a series of Putnam Variable Trust. Each Insurance Company will vote shares of the fund or funds held by it in accordance with voting instructions received from variable annuity contract and variable life insurance policy owners (collectively, the “Contract Owners”) for whose accounts the shares are held. Accordingly, with respect to funds that are series of Putnam Variable Trust, this proxy statement is also intended to be used by each Insurance Company in obtaining these voting instructions from Contract Owners. In the event that a Contract Owner gives no instructions, the relevant Insurance Company will vote the shares of the appropriate fund attributable to the Contract Owner in the same proportion as shares of that fund for which it has received instructions. One effect of this system of proportional voting is that, if only a small number of Contract Owners provide voting instructions, this small number of Contract Owners may determine the outcome of a vote for a fund.

Solicitation of proxies.In addition to soliciting proxies and voting instructions by mail, the Trustees of your fund and employees of Putnam Management, Putnam Investor Services, Inc., Putnam Retail Management and the Insurance Companies may solicit voting instructions from Contract Owners in person or by telephone. Your fund may arrange to have a proxy solicitation firm call you to record your voting instructions by telephone. The procedures for solicitation of proxies and voting instructions by telephone are designed to authenticate Contract Owners’ identities, to allow them to authorize the voting of their units in accordance with their instructions, and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded. Your fund has been advised by counsel that these procedures are consistent with the requirements of applicable law. Contract Owners would be called at the phone number Putnam Management has in its records for their accounts (or that Putnam Management obtains from the Insurance Companies) and would be given an opportunity to give their instructions. To ensure that the Contract Owners’ instructions have been recorded correctly, they will also receive a confirmation of their instructions in the mail. Aspecial toll-free number will be available in case the information contained in the confirmation is incorrect. If these procedures were subject to a successful legal challenge, such votes would not be counted at the special meeting. Your fund is unaware of any such challenge at this time.

Contract Owner Instructions.Each Contract Owner is entitled to instruct his or her Insurance Company as to how to vote its shares and can do so by marking voting instructions on the ballot enclosed with this proxy statement and then signing, dating and mailing the ballot in the envelope provided. If a ballot is not marked to indicate voting instructions, but is signed, dated and returned, it will be treated as an instruction to vote the shares in accordance with the Trustees’ recommendations. Each Insurance Company will vote the shares for which it receives timely voting instructions from Contract Owners in accordance with those instructions and will vote those shares for which it receives no timely voting instructions for and against approval of a proposal, and as an abstention, in the same proportion as the shares for which it receives voting instructions. Shares attributable to accounts retained by each Insurance Company will be voted in the same proportion as votes cast by Contract Owners. Accordingly, there are not expected to be any “broker non-votes.”

Contract Owners have the opportunity to submit their voting instructions via the Internet by utilizing a program provided by a third party vendor hired by Putnam Management or by automated telephone service. The giving of such voting instructions will not affect your right to vote in person should you decide to attend the special meeting. To use the Internet, please access the Internet address listed on the proxy card, and follow the instructions on the Internet site. Note that, if you have a smart phone with a “QR” reader, you may access the Internet address by scanning the QR code on your proxy card. To record your voting instructions via automated telephone service, use the toll-free number listed on your proxy card. The Internet and telephone voting procedures are designed to authenticate Contract Owners’ identities, to allow Contract Owners to give their voting instructions, and to confirm that their instructions have been recorded properly.

Your fund’s Trustees have adopted a general policy of maintaining confidentiality in the voting of proxies and the giving of voting instructions. Consistent with this policy, your fund may solicit proxies from Contract Owners who have not voted their shares or who have abstained from voting.

Revocation of instructions.Any Contract Owner giving instructions to an Insurance Company has the power to revoke such instructions by mail by providing superseding instructions. All properly executed instructions received in time for the special meeting will be voted as specified in the instructions.

Revocation of proxies.Proxies, including proxies given by telephone or over the Internet, may be revoked at any time before they are voted either (i) by a written revocation received by the Clerk of your fund, (ii) by properly executing a later-dated proxy,

(iii) by recording later-dated voting instructions by telephone or via the Internet, or (iv) by attending the special meeting and voting in person.

Date for receipt of shareholders’ proposals for subsequent meetings of shareholders.

Your fund does not regularly hold an annual shareholder meeting, but may from time to time schedule a special meeting. Putnam Asia Pacific Equity Fund and Putnam International Value Fund last held a special meeting in 2011. Each other fund’s last special meeting was held in 2009, unless the fund commenced operations after 2009, in which case it has not yet held a shareholder meeting. In accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, in order to be eligible for inclusion in the fund’s proxy statement for a meeting, a shareholder or Contract Owner proposal must be received a reasonable time before the fund prints and mails its proxy statement.

As described in more detail earlier in this proxy statement, the Board Policy and Nominating Committee of the Board of Trustees, which consists only of Independent Trustees, will also consider nominees recommended by shareholders of the fund to serve as Trustees. A shareholder or Contract Owner must submit the names of any such nominees in writing to the fund, to the attention of the Clerk, at the address of the principal offices of the fund.

If a shareholder who wishes to present a proposal at a special shareholder meeting fails to notify the fund within a reasonable time before the fund mails its proxy statement, the persons named as proxies will have discretionary authority to vote on the shareholder’s proposal if it is properly brought before the meeting. If a shareholder makes a timely notification, the proxies may still exercise discretionary voting authority under circumstances consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s proxy rules. All shareholder proposals must also comply with other requirements of the Security and Exchange Commission’s rules and the fund’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust and Bylaws.

Expense of the solicitation.For managing the funds’ overall proxy campaign, Computershare Fund Solutions, 280 Oser Avenue, Hauppauge, NY 11788, will receive a management fee plus reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses. Computer-share Fund Solutions will also receive fees in connection with assembling, mailing, and transmitting the notice of meeting, proxy statement and related materials on behalf of the funds, tabulating those votes that are received, and any solicitation of additional votes. While the fees received by Computershare Fund Solutions will vary based on the level of additional solicitation necessary to achieve quorum and shareholder approval, the fees paid to Computershare Fund Solutions are estimated to be approximately $2.7 million. In addition, banks, brokers, or other financial intermediaries holding shares as nominees will be reimbursed, upon request, for their reasonable expenses in sending solicitation materials to the principals of the accounts and tabulating those instructions that are received. Other costs associatedwith the proxy campaign include the expenses of the preparation, printing, and delivery of proxy materials. All proxy campaign costs for the open-end funds (which are holding meetings to consider several matters) are being borne equally by Putnam Investments and the open-end funds (subject to any applicable expense limitations, under which Putnam Investments would bear the costs). All proxy campaign costs for the closed-end funds are being borne by Putnam Investments, because those funds are holding a special meeting only to approve new management contracts in connection with the Transfer.

Information for all Putnam funds

Adjournment.To the extent permitted by each fund’s Declaration of Trust and Bylaws, any meeting of shareholders may, by action of the chair of the meeting, be adjourned without further notice with respect to one or more matters to be considered at such meeting to a designated time and place, whether or not a quorum is present with respect to such matter. Upon motion of the chair of the meeting, the question of adjournment may be submitted to a vote of the shareholders, and in that case, any adjournment with respect to one or more matters must be approved by the vote of holders of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote with respect to the matter or matters to be adjourned, to the extent permitted by each fund’s Declaration of Trust and Bylaws. If the quorum required for the special meeting has not been met, the persons named as proxies intend to propose adjournment of the meeting and to vote all shares that they are entitled to vote in favor of such adjournment. If the quorum required for the special meeting has been met, but sufficient votes in favor of one or more of Proposals 1, 3, 4, and 5 are not received by the time scheduled for the meeting, the persons named as proxies may also propose adjournment of the meeting with respect to any or all proposals in order to permit solicitation of additional proxies. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of adjournment those proxies that they are entitled to vote in favor of a proposal. They will vote against adjournment those proxies required to be voted against a proposal. Unless a proxy is otherwise limited in this regard, any shares present and entitled to vote at a meeting that are represented by broker non-votes, may, at the discretion of the proxies named therein, be voted in favor of such an adjournment. Adjournments of the special meeting may be proposed for a period or periods of not more than 60 days in the aggregate to permit further solicitation of proxies. Putnam Investments and the funds will share equally the costs of any additional solicitation and of any adjourned session. Any proposal for which sufficient favorable votes have been received may be acted upon and considered final regardless of whether the special meeting is adjourned to permit additional solicitation with respect to any other proposal that may properly come before the meeting.

Duplicate mailings.As permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission rules, Putnam Management’s policy is to send a single copy of the proxy statement to shareholders who share the same last name and address, unless a shareholder previously has requested otherwise. Separate proxy cards will be included with the proxy statement for each account registered at that address.

Subject always to the control of the Trustees of the Fund and except for the functions carried out by the officers and personnel referred to in Section 1(d), the Manager will also manage, supervise and conduct the other affairs and business of the Fund and matters incidental thereto. In the performance of its duties, the Manager will comply with the provisions of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-Laws of the Fund and the stated investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Fund, will use its best efforts to safeguard and promote the welfare of the Fund and to comply with other policies which the Trustees may from time to time determine and will exercise the same care and diligence expected of the Trustees.

In the event that the expenses of the Fund exceed any expense limitation which the Manager may, by written notice to the Fund, voluntarily declare to be effective subject to such terms and conditions as the Manager may prescribe in such notice, the compensation due the Manager will be reduced, and if necessary, the Manager will assume expenses of the Fund, to the extent required by the terms and conditions of such expense limitation.

Commencing with the thirteenth whole calendar month of the Fund’s operations, the Fund’s Base Fee computed in accordance withSchedule Bwill be adjusted, on a monthly basis, upward or downward, as the case may be, by an amount computed by applying the Performance Adjustment Rate to the Average Net Assets of the Fund for the Performance Period and dividing the result by twelve.

Performance Period.The Performance Period is equal to the shorter of (i) the period from the date the Fund commenced operations to the end of the month for which the fee adjustment is being computed or (ii) the thirty-six month period then ended.

Performance Adjustment Rate.The Performance Adjustment Rate is equal to the product of 0.04 multiplied by the difference, positive or negative, obtained by subtracting (i) the sum of the Investment Record of the Benchmark for the Performance Period plus the Hurdle from (ii) the Investment Performance of the Measuring Class for the Performance Period; provided that the Performance Adjustment Rate for the Fund may not exceed the Maximum Performance Adjustment Rate set forth onSchedule Bor be less than the Minimum Performance Adjustment Rate set forth onSchedule B.

Investment Performance and Investment Record.These terms are used as defined in Rule 205-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and shall each be computed on an annualized basis for any Performance Period greater than one year.

Hurdle.The Fund’s Hurdle is set forth inSchedule B.

B-11

Benchmark.The Fund’s initial Benchmark is set forth inSchedule B. If the Trustees determine that another appropriate index of securities prices should be substituted as the Benchmark, the Trustees may determine, with the consent of the Manager, to use such other appropriate index of securities prices for purposes of thisSchedule C(the “Replacement Benchmark”) without shareholder approval, unless shareholder approval of the change is otherwise required by applicable law. Any Replacement Benchmark will be applied prospectively to determine the amount of the Performance Adjustment. The Benchmark will continue to be used to determine the amount of the Performance Adjustment for that part of the Performance Period prior to the effective date of the Replacement Benchmark.

Measuring Class.The “Measuring Class” of shares of the Fund initially is Class A shares of the Fund. If the Trustees determine that a different class of shares of the Fund is the most appropriate for use in calculating the Performance Adjustment, the Trustees may change, with the consent of the Manager, the class of shares used as the Measuring Class without shareholder approval, unless shareholder approval of such change is otherwise required by applicable law. If a different class of shares (“Replacement Measuring Class”) is substituted in calculating the Performance Adjustment, the use of that Replacement Measuring Class of shares for purposes of calculating the Performance Adjustment may apply to the entire Performance Period so long as the Replacement Measuring Class was outstanding at the beginning of such period. If the Replacement Measuring Class of shares was not outstanding for all or a portion of the Performance Period, it may only be used in calculating that portion of the Performance Adjustment attributable to the period during which the Replacement Measuring Class was outstanding and any previous portion of the Performance Period will be calculated using the Measuring Class.

may determine, the Manager will not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Contract or otherwise solely by reason of its having caused the Fund to pay a broker or dealer that provides brokerage and research services to the Manager an amount of commission for effecting a portfolio investment transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the Manager determines in good faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Manager’s overall responsibilities with respect to the Fund and to other clients of the Manager as to which the Manager exercises investment discretion. The Manager agrees that in connection with purchases or sales of portfolio investments for the Fund’s account, neither the Manager nor any officer, director, employee or agent of the Manager shall act as a principal or receive any commission other than as provided in Section 3.

The amount of such reduction attributable to any Dividend Period shall reduce the amount of the next quarterly payment of the fee payable pursuant to this Section 3 following the end of such Dividend Period, and of any subsequent quarterly or more frequent payments, as may be necessary.

FORM OF PROPOSED MANAGEMENT CONTRACT

In consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, it is agreed as follows:

1. SERVICES TO BE RENDERED BY MANAGER TO FUND.

(a) The Manager, at its expense, will furnish continuously an investment program for the Fund or, in the case of a Fund that has divided its shares into two or more series under Section 18(f) (2) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), each series of the Fund identified from time to time onSchedule Ato this Contract (each reference in this Contract to “a Fund” or to “the Fund” is also deemed to be a reference to any existing series of the Fund, as appropriate in the particular context), will determine what investments will be purchased, held, sold or exchanged by the Fund and what portion, if any, of the assets of the Fund will be held uninvested and will, on behalf of the Fund, make changes in such investments. Subject always to the control of the Trustees of the Fund and except for the functions carried out by the officers and personnel referred to in Section 1(d), the Manager will also manage, supervise andconduct the other affairs and business of the Fund and matters incidental thereto. In the performance of its duties, the Manager will comply with the provisions of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-Laws of the Fund and the stated investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Fund, will use its best efforts to safeguard and promote the welfare of the Fund and to comply with other policies which the Trustees may from time to time determine and will exercise the same care and diligence expected of the Trustees.

(c) The Manager, at its expense, will place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio investments for the Fund’s account with brokers or dealers selected by the Manager. In the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, the Manager will use its best efforts to obtain for the Fund the most favorable price and execution available, except to the extent it may be permitted to pay higher brokerage commissions for brokerage and research services as described below. In using its best efforts to obtain for the Fund the most favorable price and execution available, the Manager, bearing in mind the Fund’s best interests at all times, will consider all factors it deems relevant, including by way of illustration, price, the size of the transaction, the nature of the market for the security, the amount of the commission, the timing of the transaction taking into account market prices and trends, the reputation, experience and financial stability of the broker or dealer involved and the quality of service rendered by the broker or dealer in other transactions. Subject to such policies as the Trustees of the Fund may determine, the Manager will not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Contract or otherwise solely by reason of its having caused the Fund to pay a broker or dealer that provides brokerage and research services to the Manager an amount of commission for effecting a portfolio investment transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the Manager determines in good faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Manager’s overall responsibilities with respect to the Fund and to other clients of the Manager as to which the Manager exercises investment discretion. The Manager agrees that in connection

B-15

with purchases or sales of portfolio investments for the Fund’s account, neither the Manager nor any officer, director, employee or agent of the Manager shall act as a principal or receive any commission other than as provided in Section 3.

(e) The Manager will not be obligated to pay any expenses of or for the Fund not expressly assumed by the Manager pursuant to this Section 1 other than as provided in Section 3.

2. OTHER AGREEMENTS, ETC.

3. COMPENSATION TO BE PAID BY THE FUND TOTHE MANAGER.

“Average Net Assets” means the average of the weekly determinations of the difference between the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to leverage for investment purposes) and the total liabilities of the Fund (excluding liabilities incurred in connection with leverage for investment purposes), determined at the close of the last business day of each week, for each week which ends during the quarter. The fee is payable for each quarter within 30 days after the close of the quarter. As used in this Section 3, “leverage for investment purposes” means any incurrence of indebtedness the proceeds of which are to be invested in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective. For purposes of calculating Average Net Assets, liabilities associated with any instruments or transactions used to leverage the Fund’s portfolio for investment purposes (whether or not such instruments or transactions are “covered” within the meaning of the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, giving effect to any interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and its staff) are not considered liabilities. For purposes of calculating Average Net Assets, the total assets of the Fund will be deemed to include (a) any proceeds from the sale or transfer of an asset (the “Underlying Asset”) of the Fund to a counterparty in a reverse repurchase or dollar roll transaction and (b) the value of such Underlying Asset as of the relevant measuring date.

In the event that, during any period for which payments of interest or fees (whether designated as such or implied) are payable in connection with any indebtedness or other obligation of the Fund incurred for investment purposes (a “Measurement Period”), the amount of interest payments and fees with respect to such indebtedness or other obligation, plus additional expenses attributable to any such leverage for investment purposes for such Measurement Period, exceeds the portion of the Fund’s net income and net short-term capital gains (but not long-term capital gains) accruing during such Measurement Period as a result of the fact that such indebtedness or other obligation was outstanding during the Measurement Period, then the fee payable to the Manager pursuant to this Section 3 shall be reduced by the amount of such excess; provided, however, that the amount of such reduction for any such Period shall not exceed the amount determined by multiplying (i) the aggregate value of all assets representing leverage for investment purposes by (ii) the percentage of the Average Net Assets of the Fund which the fee payable to the Manager during such Measurement Period pursuant to this Section 3 would constitute without giving effect to such reduction. The amount of such reduction attributable to any Measurement Period shall reduce the amount of the next quarterly payment of the fee payable pursuant to this Section 3 following the end of such Measurement Period, and of any subsequent quarterly or more frequent payments, as may be necessary. The expenses attributable to leverage for investment purposes and the portion of the Fund’s net income and net short-term capital gains accruing during any Measurement Period as a result of the fact that leverage for investment purposes was outstanding

B-16

during such Measurement Period shall be determined by the Trustees of the Fund.

In the event that expenses of the Fund for any fiscal year exceed the expense limitation on investment company expenses imposed by any statute or regulatory authority of any jurisdiction in which shares of the Fund are qualified for offer or sale, the compensation due the Manager for such fiscal year will be reduced by the amount of excess by a reduction or refund thereof. In the event that the expenses of the Fund exceed any expense limitation which the Manager may, by written notice to the Fund, voluntarily declare to be effective subject to such terms and conditions as the Manager may prescribe in such notice, the compensation due the Manager will be reduced, and if necessary, the Manager will assume expenses of the Fund, to the extent required by the terms and conditions of such expense limitation.

If the Manager serves for less than the whole of a quarter, the foregoing compensation will be prorated.

* MSCI publishes two versions of this index reflecting the reinvestment of dividends using two different methodologies: gross dividends and net dividends. While both versions reflect reinvested dividends, they differ with respect to the manner in which taxes associated with dividend payments are treated. In calculating the net dividends version, MSCI incorporates reinvested dividends applying the withholding tax rate applicable to foreign non-resident institutional investors that do not benefit from double taxation treaties. Putnam Management believes that the net dividends version better reflects the returns U.S. investors might expect were they to invest directly in the component securities of the index.

PUTNAM FUNDS

SUB-MANAGEMENT CONTRACT

This Sub-Management Contract is dated as of July 1, 2013 between PUTNAM INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Manager”) and PUTNAM INVESTMENTS LIMITED, a company organized under the laws of England and Wales (the “Sub-Manager”).

WHEREAS, the Manager is the investment manager of each of the investment companies registered under the United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that are identified onSchedule Ahereto, as it may from time to time be amended by the Manager (the “Funds”), and a registered investment adviser under the United States Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended;

WHEREAS, the Sub-Manager is licensed as an investment manager by the Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom (the “FCA”); and

WHEREAS, the Manager desires to engage the Sub-Manager from time to time to manage a portion of certain of the Funds:

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, it is agreed as follows:

1. SERVICES TO BE RENDERED BY SUB-MANAGER.

(a) The Sub-Manager, at its expense, will furnish continuously an investment program for that portion of any Fund the management of which is allocated from time to time by the Manager to the Sub-Manager (an “Allocated Sleeve”). The Manager shall, in its sole discretion, determine which Funds will have an Allocated Sleeve and the amount of assets allocated from time to time to each such Allocated Sleeve; provided that, with respect to any Fund, the Trustees of such Fund must have approved the use of the Sub-Manager prior to the creation of an Allocated Sleeve for such Fund. The Sub-Manager will determine what investments shall be purchased, held, sold or exchanged by any Allocated Sleeve and what portion, if any, of the assets of the Allocated Sleeve shall be held uninvested and shall, on behalf of the Fund, make changes in the Fund’s investments held in such Allocated Sleeve.

(b) The Manager may also, at its discretion, request the Sub-Manager to provide assistance with purchasing and selling securities for any Fund, including the placement of orders with broker-dealers selected in accordance with Section 1(d), even if the Manager has not established an Allocated Sleeve for such Fund.

(c) The Sub-Manager at its expense will furnish all necessary investment and management facilities, including salaries of personnel, required for it to execute its duties faithfully.

(d) The Sub-Manager shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio investments for any Allocated Sleeve with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Manager. In the selectionof such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, the Sub-Manager shall use its best efforts to obtain for the related Fund the most favorable price and execution available, except to the extent it may be permitted to pay higher brokerage commissions for brokerage and research services as described below. In using its best efforts to obtain for the Fund the most favorable price and execution available, the Sub-Manager, bearing in mind the Fund’s best interests at all times, shall consider all factors it deems relevant, including by way of illustration, price, the size of the transaction, the nature of the market for the security, the amount of the commission, the timing of the transaction taking into account market prices and trends, the reputation, experience and financial stability of the broker or dealer involved and the quality of service rendered by the broker or dealer in other transactions. Subject to such policies as the Trustees of the Funds may determine, the Sub-Manager shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Contract or otherwise solely by reason of its having caused a Fund to pay a broker or dealer that provides brokerage and research services to the Manager or the Sub-Manager an amount of commission for effecting a portfolio investment transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the Sub-Manager determines in good faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or its overall responsibilities with respect to the Fund and to other clients of the Manager or the Sub-Manager as to which the Manager or the Sub-Manager exercises investment discretion. The Sub-Manager agrees that in connection with purchases or sales of portfolio investments for any Fund, neither the Sub-Manager nor any officer, director, employee or agent of the Sub-Manager shall act as a principal or receive any commission other than as provided in Section 3.

(e) The Sub-Manager shall not be obligated to pay any expenses of or for the Manager or any Fund not expressly assumed by the Sub-Manager pursuant to this Section 1.

(f) In the performance of its duties, the Sub-Manager will comply with the provisions of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-Laws of each applicable Fund and such Fund’s stated investment objectives, policies and restrictions, and will use its best efforts to safeguard and promote the welfare of such Fund and to comply with other policies which the Manager or the Trustees may from time to time determine and shall exercise the same care and diligence expected of the Manager.

2. OTHER AGREEMENTS, ETC.

It is understood that any of the shareholders, Trustees, officers and employees of a Fund may be a shareholder, director, officer

E-1

or employee of, or be otherwise interested in, the Sub-Manager, and in any person controlled by or under common control with the Sub-Manager, and that the Sub-Manager and any person controlled by or under common control with the Sub-Manager may have an interest in such Fund. It is also understood that the Sub-Manager and any person controlled by or under common control with the Sub-Manager have and may have advisory, management, service or other contracts with other organizations and persons, and may have other interests and business.

3. COMPENSATION.

Except as provided below, the Manager will pay to the Sub-Manager as compensation for the Sub-Manager’s services rendered, a fee, computed and paid quarterly at the annual rate of 0.35% per annum of average aggregate net asset value of the assets in equity and asset allocation Allocated Sleeves and 0.40% per annum of average aggregate net asset value of the assets in fixed income Allocated Sleeves, except for fixed income Allocated Sleeves in certain fixed income Funds enumerated as follows (with the per annum fee provided in parentheses): Putnam Money Market Liquidity Fund (0.20%), Putnam Short Term Investment Fund (0.20%), Putnam Money Market Fund (0.25%), Putnam Tax Exempt Money Market Fund (0.25%), Putnam VT Money Market Fund (0.25%), Putnam Short Duration Income Fund (0.25%), Putnam Short-Term Municipal Income Fund (0.25%), Putnam American Government Income Fund (0.25%), Putnam Income Fund (0.25%), Putnam U.S. Government Income Trust (0.25%), Putnam VT American Government Income Fund (0.25%), and Putnam VT Income Fund (0.25%).

Such average net asset value shall be determined by taking an average of all of the determinations of such net asset value during a quarter at the close of business on each business day during such quarter while this Contract is in effect. Such fee shall be payable for each quarter within 30 days after the close of such quarter. The Sub-Manager shall look only to the Manager for payment of its fees. No Fund shall have any responsibility for paying any fees due the Sub-Manager.

With respect to each of Putnam High Income Securities Fund, Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust and Putnam Premier Income Trust, the Manager will pay to the Sub-Manager as compensation for the Sub-Manager’s services rendered, a fee, computed and paid quarterly at the annual rate of 0.40% of Average Weekly Assets in Allocated Sleeves. “Average Weekly Assets” means the average of the weekly determinations of the difference between the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to leverage for investment purposes) attributable to an Allocated Sleeve and the total liabilities of the Fund (excluding liabilities incurred in connection with leverage for investment purposes) attributable to such Allocated Sleeve, determined at the close of the last business day of each week, for each week which ends during the quarter. Such fee shallbe payable for each quarter within 30 days after the close of such quarter. As used in this Section 3, “leverage for investment purposes” means any incurrence of indebtedness the proceeds of which are to be invested in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective. For purposes of calculating Average Weekly Assets, liabilities associated with any instruments or transactions used to leverage the Fund’s portfolio for investment purposes (whether or not such instruments or transactions are “covered” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and regulations thereunder, giving effect to any interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and its staff) are not considered liabilities. For purposes of calculating Average Weekly Assets, the total assets of the Fund will be deemed to include (a) any proceeds from the sale or transfer of an asset (the “Underlying Asset”) of the Fund to a counterparty in a reverse repurchase or dollar roll transaction and (b) the value of such Underlying Asset as of the relevant measuring date.

In the event that the Manager’s management fee from any of Putnam High Income Securities Fund, Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust or Putnam Premier Income Trust is reduced pursuant to the investment management contract between such Fund and the Manager because during any Measurement Period (as defined below) the amount of interest payments and fees with respect to indebtedness or other obligation of the Fund incurred for investment leverage purposes, plus additional expenses attributable to any such leverage for investment purposes, exceeds the portion of the Fund’s net income and net short-term capital gains (but not long-term capital gains) accruing during such Measurement Period as a result of the fact that such indebtedness or other obligation was outstanding during the Measurement Period, the fee payable to the Sub-Manager with respect to such Fund shall be reduced in the same proportion as the fee paid to the Manager with respect to such Fund is so reduced. “Measurement Period” shall be any period for which payments of interest or fees (whether designated as such or implied) are payable in connection with any indebtedness or other obligation of the Fund incurred for investment purposes.

If the Sub-Manager shall serve for less than the whole of a quarter, the foregoing compensation shall be prorated.

4. ASSIGNMENT TERMINATES THIS CONTRACT; AMENDMENTS OF THIS CONTRACT.

This Contract shall automatically terminate without the payment of any penalty, in the event of its assignment; and this Contract shall not be amended with respect to any Allocated Sleeve unless such amendment be approved at a meeting by the vote, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, of a majority of the Trustees of the related Fund who are not interested persons of such Fund or of the Manager.

E-2

5. EFFECTIVE PERIOD AND TERMINATION OFTHIS CONTRACT.

This Contract shall become effective upon its execution, and shall remain in full force and effect continuously thereafter (unless terminated automatically as set forth in Section 4) until terminated as follows:

(a) Either party hereto or, with respect to any Allocated Sleeve, the related Fund may at any time terminate this Contract by not more than sixty days’ nor less than thirty days’ written notice delivered or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the other party, or

(b) With respect to any Allocated Sleeve, if (i) the Trustees of the related Fund or the shareholders by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of such Fund, and (ii) a majority of the Trustees of such Fund who are not interested persons of such Fund or of the Manager, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, do not specifically approve at least annually the continuance of this Contract, then this Contract shall automatically terminate at the close of business on the anniversary of its execution, or upon the expiration of one year from the effective date of the last such continuance, whichever is later, or

(c) With respect to any Allocated Sleeve, automatically upon termination of the Manager’s investment management contract with the related Fund.

Action by a Fund under (a) above may be taken either (i) by vote of a majority of its Trustees, or (ii) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of such Fund.

Termination of this Contract pursuant to this Section 5 will be without the payment of any penalty.

6. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS.

For the purposes of this Contract, the “affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of a Fund” means the affirmative vote, at a duly called and held meeting of shareholders of such Fund, (a) of the holders of 67% or more of the shares of such Fund present (in person or by proxy) and entitled to vote at such meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of such Fund entitled to vote at such meeting are present in person or by proxy, or (b) of the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of such Fund entitled to vote at such meeting, whichever is less.

For the purposes of this Contract, the terms “affiliated person,” “control,” “interested person” and “assignment” shall have their respective meanings defined in the United States Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Rules and Regulations there-under (the “1940 Act”), subject, however, to such exemptions as may be granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under said Act; the term “specifically approve at least annually” shall be construed in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act, andthe Rules and Regulations thereunder; and the term “brokerage and research services” shall have the meaning given in the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Rules and Regulations thereunder.

7. NON-LIABILITY OF SUB-MANAGER.

In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Sub-Manager, or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder, the Sub-Manager shall not be subject to any liability to the Manager, any Fund or to any shareholder of any Fund, for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder.

8. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS.

(a) The Sub-Manager represents that it is regulated by the FCA in the conduct of its investment business. The Sub-Manager has in operation a written procedure in accordance with FCA rules for the effective consideration and proper handling of complaints from customers. Any complaint by the Manager or any Fund should be sent to the Compliance Officer of the Sub-Manager. The Manager and any Fund is also entitled to make any complaints about the Sub-Manager to the Financial Ombudsman Service established by the FCA. The Manager and any Fund may also request a statement describing its rights to compensation in the event of the Sub-Manager’s inability to meet its liabilities.

(b) The Manager represents that it and each Fund are “Professional Customers” in the meaning of the FCA’s rules.

(c) Although each Fund is not a party hereto and shall have no responsibility for the Manager’s or the Sub-Manager’s obligations hereunder, each Fund is named as explicit third party beneficiary of the parties’ agreements hereunder.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, PUTNAM INVESTMENTS LIMITED and PUTNAM INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, LLC have each caused this instrument to be signed in duplicate on its behalf by an officer duly authorized, all as of the day and year first above written.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, it is agreed as follows:

1. SERVICES TO BE RENDERED BY SUB-ADVISOR.

(a) The Sub-Advisor, at its expense, will furnish continuously an investment program for that portion of any Fund identified onSchedule Athe management of which is allocated from time to time by the Manager or PIL to the Sub-Advisor (an “Allocated Sleeve”).

Subject to such policies as the Trustees of the Funds may determine, the Sub-Advisor shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Contract or otherwise solely by reason of its having caused a Fund to pay a broker or dealer that provides brokerage and research services to the Manager or, in the case of a PIL-Advised Sleeve, PIL, or the Sub-Advisor an amount of commission for effecting a portfolio investment transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or its overall responsibilities with respect to the Fund and to other clients of the Manager or PIL, as the case may be, or the Sub-Advisor as to which the Manager or PIL, as the case may be, or the Sub-Advisor exercises investment discretion.

(d) The Sub-Advisor at its expense will furnish all necessary investment and management facilities, including salaries of personnel, required for it to execute its duties faithfully.

(e) The Sub-Advisor shall not be obligated to pay any expenses of or for the Manager, PIL or any Fund not expressly assumed by the Sub-Advisor pursuant to this Section 1.

The discussion below summarizes the principal factors considered by the Trustees in approving the continuance of the current management contracts in June 2013.

General conclusions

The Board of Trustees of the Putnam funds oversees the management of each fund and, as required by law, determines annually whether to approve the continuance of your fund’s management contract with Putnam Investment Management (“Putnam Management”), the sub-management contract with respect to your fund between Putnam Management and its affiliate, Putnam Investments Limited (“PIL”), and (for applicable funds) the sub-advisory contract among Putnam Management, PIL, and another affiliate, The Putnam Advisory Company (“PAC”). The Board of Trustees, with the assistance of its Contract Committee, requests and evaluates all information it deems reasonably necessary under the circumstances in connection with its annual contract review. The Contract Committee consists solely of Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as this term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)) of the Putnam funds (“Independent Trustees”).

At the outset of the review process, members of the Board’s independent staff and independent legal counsel met with representatives of Putnam Management to review the annual contract review materials furnished to the Contract Committee during the course of the previous year’s review and to discuss possible changes in these materials that might be necessary or desirable for the coming year. Following these discussions and in consultation with the Contract Committee, the Independent Trustees’ independent legal counsel requested that Putnam Management furnish specified information, together with any additional information that Putnam Management considered relevant, to the Contract Committee. Over the course of several months ending in June 2013, the Contract Committee met on a number of occasions with representatives of Putnam Management, and separately in executive session, to consider the information that Putnam Management provided. Throughout this process, the Contract Committee was assisted by the members of the Board’s independent staff and by independent legal counsel for the Putnam funds and the Independent Trustees.

In May 2013, the Contract Committee met in executive session to discuss and consider its preliminary recommendations withrespect to the continuance of the contracts. At the Trustees’ June 20, 2013 meeting, the Contract Committee met in executive session with the other Independent Trustees to review a summary of the key financial data that the Contract Committee considered in the course of its review. The Contract Committee then presented its written report, which summarized the key factors that the Committee had considered and set forth its final recommendations. The Contract Committee then recommended, and the Independent Trustees approved, the continuance of your fund’s management, sub-management and (for applicable funds) sub-advisory contracts, effective July 1, 2013, subject to certain changes in the sub-management and sub-advisory contracts noted below. (Because PIL and PAC are affiliates of Putnam Management and Putnam Management remains fully responsible for all services provided by PIL and PAC, the Trustees have not evaluated PIL or PAC as separate entities, and all subsequent references to Putnam Management below should be deemed to include reference to PIL and PAC as necessary or appropriate in the context.)

The Independent Trustees’ approval was based on the following conclusions:

• That the fee schedule in effect for your fund represented reasonable compensation in light of the nature and quality of the services being provided to the fund, the fees paid by competitive funds, and the costs incurred by Putnam Management in providing services to the fund, and

• That the fee schedule represented an appropriate sharing between fund shareholders and Putnam Management of such economies of scale as may exist in the management of the fund at current asset levels.

These conclusions were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Trustees and were not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations and how the Trustees considered these factors are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently, giving different weights to various factors. It is also important to recognize that the management arrangements for your fund and the other Putnam funds are the result of many years of review and discussion between the Independent Trustees and Putnam Management, that some aspects of the arrangements may receive greater scrutiny in some years than others, and that the Trustees’ conclusions may be based, in part, on their consideration of fee arrangements in previous years. For example, with some minor exceptions, the current fee arrangements in the management contracts for the Putnam funds were implemented at the beginning of 2010 following extensive review and discussion by the Trustees, as well as approval by shareholders.

F-1

As noted above, the Trustees considered certain administrative revisions to your fund’s sub-management and sub-advisory contracts. Putnam Management recommended that the sub-management contract be revised to reduce the sub-management fee that Putnam Management pays to PIL with respect to the portion of the portfolios of certain funds that may be allocated to PIL from time to time. Putnam Management also recommended that the sub-advisory contract be revised to reflect the closure of PAC’s Tokyo office and the termination of PAC’s non-discretionary investment adviser’s license with respect to that office. The Independent Trustees’ approval of these recommendations was based on their conclusion that these changes would have no practical effect on Putnam Management’s continued responsibility for the management of these funds or the costs borne by fund shareholders and would not result in any reduction in the nature and quality of services provided to the funds.

Management fee schedules and total expenses

The Trustees reviewed the management fee schedules in effect for all Putnam funds, including fee levels and breakpoints. The Trustees also reviewed the total expenses of each Putnam fund, recognizing that in most cases management fees represented the major, but not the sole, determinant of total costs to shareholders.

In reviewing fees and expenses, the Trustees generally focus their attention on material changes in circumstances — for example, changes in assets under management, changes in a fund’s investment style, changes in Putnam Management’s operating costs or profitability, or changes in competitive practices in the mutual fund industry — that suggest that consideration of fee changes might be warranted. The Trustees concluded that the circumstances did not warrant changes to the management fee structure of any fund.

Under its management contract, the open-end funds have the benefit of breakpoints in their management fee schedules that provide shareholders with economies of scale in the form of reduced fee levels as assets under management in the Putnam family of funds increase, and each closed-end funds have the benefit of breakpoints in their management fee schedules that provide shareholders with economies of scale in the form of reduced fee levels as the fund’s assets increase. The Trustees concluded that the fee schedule in effect for your fund represented an appropriate sharing of economies of scale between fund shareholders and Putnam Management.

In addition, certain fund’s management contracts provides that the fund’s management fees will be adjusted up or down depending upon whether the fund’s performance is better or worse than the performance of an appropriate index of securities prices specified in the management contract. In the course of reviewing investment performance, the Trustees examinedthe operation of those fund’s performance fees and concluded that the fees were operating effectively to align further Putnam Management’s economic interests with those of the fund’s shareholders.

As in the past, the Trustees also focused on the competitiveness of each fund’s total expense ratio. In order to ensure that expenses of the Putnam funds continue to meet competitive standards, the Trustees and Putnam Management have implemented certain expense limitations. These expense limitations were: (i) a contractual expense limitation applicable to all retail open-end funds of 32 basis points on investor servicing fees and expenses and (ii) a contractual expense limitation applicable to all open-end funds of 20 basis points on so-called “other expenses” (i.e., all expenses exclusive of management fees, investor servicing fees, distribution fees, investment-related expenses, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses). These expense limitations serve in particular to maintain competitive expense levels for funds with large numbers of small shareholder accounts and funds with relatively small net assets. Most funds had sufficiently low expenses that these expense limitations did not apply. Putnam Management’s support for these expense limitations, including its agreement to reduce the expense limitation applicable to the open-end funds’ investor servicing fees and expenses as noted above, was an important factor in the Trustees’ decision to approve the continuance of your fund’s management, sub-management and sub-advisory contracts.

The Trustees reviewed comparative fee and expense information for competitive funds, which indicated that, in a custom peer group of competitive funds selected by Lipper Inc. (determined for each Putnam fund and the other funds in the custom peer group based on fund asset size and the applicable contractual management fee schedule), each Putnam fund ranked in particular percentiles in management fees and total expenses (excluding any applicable 12b-1 fees for open-end funds and excluding charges and expenses at the insurance company separate account level for the funds of Putnam Variable Trust) as of December 31, 2012 (the first quintile representing the least expensive funds and the fifth quintile the most expensive funds). (The comparative fee and expense information for Putnam Global Sector Fund, Putnam Retirement Income Fund Lifestyle 1, Putnam Retirement Income Fund Lifestyle 2, Putnam Retirement Income Fund Lifestyle 3 and each Putnam RetirementReady Fund included the fees and expenses of the underlying Putnam funds in which these funds invested, as well as the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which each fund in these funds’ Lipper peer group invested.) The fee and expense data reported by Lipper as of December 31, 2012 reflected the most recent fiscal year-end data available in Lipper’s database at that time.

In connection with their review of the management fees and total expenses of the Putnam funds, the Trustees also reviewed the costs of the services provided and the profits realized by Putnam Management and its affiliates from their contractual relationships with the funds. This information included trends in revenues, expenses and profitability of Putnam Management and its affiliates relating to the investment management, investor servicing and distribution services provided to the funds. In this regard, the Trustees also reviewed an analysis of Putnam Management’s revenues, expenses and profitability, allocated on a fund-by-fund basis, with respect to the funds’ management, distribution, and investor servicing contracts. For each fund, the analysis presented information about revenues, expenses and profitability for each of the agreements separately and for the agreements taken together on a combined basis. The Trustees concluded that, at current asset levels, the fee schedules in place represented reasonable compensation for the services being provided and represented an appropriate sharing of such economies of scale as may exist in the management of the Putnam funds at that time.

The information examined by the Trustees as part of their annual contract review for the Putnam funds has included for many years information regarding fees charged by Putnam Management and its affiliates to institutional clients such as defined benefit pension plans, college endowments, and the like. This information included comparisons of those fees with fees charged to the funds, as well as an assessment of the differences in the services provided to these different types of clients. The Trustees observed that the differences in fee rates between institutional clients and mutual funds are by no means uniform when examined by individual asset sectors, suggesting that differences in the pricing of investment management services to these types of clients may reflect historical competitive forces operating in separate markets. The Trustees considered the fact that in many cases fee rates across different asset classes are higher on average for mutual funds than for institutional clients, as well as the differences between the services that Putnam Management provides to the Putnam funds and those that it provides to its institutional clients. The Trustees did not rely on these comparisons to any significant extent in concluding that the management fees paid by your fund are reasonable.

Investment performance

The quality of the investment process provided by Putnam Management represented a major factor in the Trustees’ evaluation of the quality of services provided by Putnam Management under your fund’s management contract. The Trustees were assisted in their review of the Putnam funds’ investment process and performance by the work of the investment oversight committees of the Trustees, which meet on a regular basis with the funds’ portfolio teams and with the Chief Investment Officerand other senior members of Putnam Management’s Investment Division throughout the year. The Trustees concluded that Putnam Management generally provides a high-quality investment process — based on the experience and skills of the individuals assigned to the management of fund portfolios, the resources made available to them, and in general Putnam Management’s ability to attract and retain high-quality personnel — but also recognized that this does not guarantee favorable investment results for every fund in every time period.

The Trustees considered that 2012 was a year of strong competitive performance for many of the Putnam funds, with only a relatively small number of exceptions. They noted that this strong performance was exemplified by the fact that the Putnam funds were recognized by Barron’s as the best performing mutual fund complex for 2012 — the second time in four years that Putnam Management has achieved this distinction for the Putnam funds. They also noted, however, the disappointing investment performance of some funds for periods ended December 31, 2012 and considered information provided by Putnam Management regarding the factors contributing to the underperformance and actions being taken to improve the performance of these particular funds. The Trustees indicated their intention to continue to monitor performance trends to assess the effectiveness of these efforts and to evaluate whether additional actions to address areas of underperformance are warranted.

For purposes of evaluating investment performance, the Trustees generally focus on competitive industry rankings for the one-year, three-year, and five-year periods. For a number of Putnam funds with relatively unique investment mandates, the Trustees evaluated performance based on comparisons of their absolute gross returns with the returns of selected investment benchmarks or targeted annualized returns.

The Trustees also considered a number of other changes that Putnam Management had made in recent years in efforts to support and improve fund performance generally. These changes included Putnam Management’s efforts to increase accountability and to reduce complexity in the portfolio management process for the Putnam equity funds by moving generally from a portfolio management team structure to a decision-making process that vests full authority and responsibility with individual portfolio managers and by affirming its commitment to a fundamental-driven approach to investing. The Trustees noted that Putnam Management had also worked to strengthen its fundamental research capabilities by adding new investment personnel to the large-cap equities research team and by bringing U.S. and international research under common leadership. In addition, the Trustees recognized that Putnam Management has adjusted the compensation structure for portfolio managers and research analysts so that only those

who achieve top-quartile returns over a rolling three-year basis are eligible for full bonuses.

Brokerage and soft-dollar allocations; investor servicing

The Trustees considered various potential benefits that Putnam Management may receive in connection with the services it provides under the management contract with your fund. These include benefits related to brokerage allocation and the use of soft dollars, whereby a portion of the commissions paid by a fund for brokerage may be used to acquire research services that are expected to be useful to Putnam Management in managing the assets of the fund and of other clients. Subject to policies established by the Trustees, soft dollars generated by these means are used primarily to acquire brokerage and research services that enhance Putnam Management’s investment capabilities and supplement Putnam Management’s internal research efforts. However, the Trustees noted that a portion of available brokerage commissions continues to be used to pay fund expenses. The Trustees indicated their continued intent to monitor regulatory and industry developments in this area with the assistance of theirBrokerage Committee and also indicated their continued intent to monitor the allocation of the Putnam funds’ brokerage in order to ensure that the principle of seeking best price and execution remains paramount in the portfolio trading process.

Putnam Management may also receive benefits from payments that the funds make to Putnam Management’s affiliates for investor or distribution services. In conjunction with the annual review of the funds’ management, sub-management and sub-advisory contracts, the Trustees reviewed the funds’ investor servicing agreement with Putnam Investor Services, Inc. (“PSERV”) and the open-end funds’ distributor’s contracts and distribution plans with Putnam Retail Management Limited Partnership (“PRM”), both of which are affiliates of Putnam Management. The Trustees concluded that the fees payable by the funds to PSERV and PRM, as applicable, for such services are reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of such services, the fees paid by competitive funds, and the costs incurred by PSERV and PRM, as applicable, in providing such services.

Appendix G — Auditors

As listed below, the Trustees have selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 125 High Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, or KPMG, 99 High Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, as the auditors for each fund’s current fiscal year. These firms are among the country’s preeminent auditors. Each firm was selected primarily on the basis of its expertise as auditors of investment companies, the quality of its audit services and the competitiveness of its fees. Representatives of each of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and KPMG LLP are expected to be present at the special meeting and to have the opportunity to make a statement and respond to appropriate questions.

A note for funds audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

A non-U.S. member firm in PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s global network of firms has an investment in certain non-U.S. funds now affiliated with Putnam Investments as a result of the July 2013 acquisition of the funds’ advisor by Putnam’s parent company, Great-West Lifeco Inc. The investment consists of pension plan assets for the benefit of the member firm’s personnel. The investment is inconsistent with the requirements of the Securitiesand Exchange Commission’s auditor independence rules. Your fund has been informed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP that to address this issue, the member firm is in the process of selecting different advisors not affiliated with Putnam to manage the relevant pension plans and transferring the plans’ assets to such advisors. None of the member firm’s personnel is on the PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP audit team for your fund, and none of the members of the audit team participates in the member firm’s pension plans. Based on its knowledge of the facts and its experience with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Audit and Compliance Committee of your fund’s Board of Trustees concluded that the investment by the PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP member firm would not affect PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s ability to render an objective audit opinion to your fund. Based on this conclusion and consideration of the potential risks that the disruption of a change of auditors could present, the Audit and Compliance Committee determined that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP should continue to act as auditors for your fund.

Pre-Approval Policies of the Audit and Compliance Committee.

The Audit and Compliance Committee of the Putnam funds has determined that, as a matter of policy, all work performed for the funds by the funds’ auditors will be preapproved by the Committee itself and thus will generally not be subject to pre-approval procedures.

The Audit and Compliance Committee also has adopted a policy to pre-approve the engagement by Putnam Management and certain of its affiliates of the funds’ auditors, even in circumstances where pre-approval is not required by applicable law. Any such requests by Putnam Management or certain of its affiliates are typically submitted in writing to the Committee and explain, among other things, the nature of the proposed engagement, the estimated fees, and why this work should be performed by that particular audit firm as opposed to another one. In reviewing such requests, the Committee considers, among other things,whether the provision of such services by the audit firm are compatible with the independence of the audit firm.

Since the beginning of the two most recently completed fiscal years of each fund ended prior to October 1, 2013, all work performed by the auditors for the funds, Putnam Management and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Putnam Management that provides ongoing services to the funds was pre-approved by the Committee or a member of the Committee pursuant to the pre-approval policies discussed above.

The following table presents fees billed to each indicated fund in each of its last two fiscal years ended prior to October 1, 2013 by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for services required to be approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (funds not listed below were not billed for such services during their last two fiscal years):

ARTICLE II

Purpose of Trust

The purpose of the Trust is to provide investors a managed investment primarily in securities, debt instruments and other instruments and rights of a financial character.

ARTICLE III

Division of Beneficial Interest

Section 1. The number of Shares authorized shall be unlimited. The Shares of the Trust shall be issued in one or more series as the Trustees may, without shareholder approval, authorize. Each series shall be preferred over all other series in respect of the assets allocated to that series within the meaning of the 1940 Act and shall represent a separate investment portfolio of the Trust. The beneficial interest in each series shall at all times be divided into Shares, without par value unless otherwise determined by the Trustees, each of which shall, except as provided in the following sentence, represent an equal proportionate interest in the series with each other Share of the same series, none having priority or preference over another. The Trustees may, without Shareholder approval, divide the Shares of any series into two or more classes, Shares of each such class having such preferences and special or relative rights and privileges (including conversion rights, if any) as the Trustees may determine and as shall be set forth in the Bylaws. The Trustees may, without Shareholder approval, from time to time divide or

L-1

combine the Shares of any series or class into a greater or lesser number without thereby changing the proportionate beneficial interest in the series or class. The Trustees may also, without shareholder approval, from time to time combine the Shares or two or more classes of any series into a single class.

Ownership of Shares

Section 2. The ownership of Shares shall be recorded on the books of the Trust or a transfer or similar agent. No certificates certifying the ownership of Shares shall be issued except as the Trustees may otherwise determine from time to time. The Trustees may make such rules as they consider appropriate for the issuance of Share certificates, the retirement of Share certificates, the transfer of Shares and similar matters. The record books of the Trust as kept by the Trust or any transfer or similar agent, as the case may be, shall be conclusive as to who are the Shareholders of each series and class and as to the number of Shares of each series and class held from time to time by each Shareholder.

Investment in the Trust

Section 3. The Trustees shall accept investments in the Trust from such persons and on such terms and for such consideration, which may consist of cash or tangible or intangible property or a combination thereof, as they or the Bylaws from time to time authorize.

All consideration received by the Trust for the issue or sale of Shares of each series, together with all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation thereof, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form the same may be, shall irrevocably belong to the series of Shares with respect to which the same were received by the Trust for all purposes, subject only to the rights of creditors, and shall be so handled upon the books of account of the Trust and are herein referred to as “assets of” such series.

No Preemptive Rights

Section 4. Shareholders shall have no preemptive or other right to subscribe to any additional Shares or other securities issued by the Trust.

Status of Shares and Limitation of Personal Liability

Section 5. Shares shall be deemed to be personal property giving only the rights provided in this Declaration of Trust or the Bylaws. Every Shareholder by virtue of having become a Shareholder shall be held to have expressly assented and agreed to the terms of this Declaration of Trust and the Bylaws and to have become a party thereto. The death of a Shareholder during the continuance of the Trust shall not operate to terminate the same nor entitle the representative of any deceased Shareholder to an accounting or to take any action in court or elsewhere against the Trust or the Trustees, but only to the rights of said decedent under this Trust. Ownership of Shares shall not entitle the Shareholder to any title in or to the whole or any part of the Trust property or right to call for a partition or division of thesame or for an accounting, nor shall the ownership of Shares constitute the Shareholders partners. Neither the Trust nor the Trustees, nor any officer, employee or agent of the Trust shall have any power to bind personally any Shareholder, nor except as specifically provided herein to call upon any Shareholder for the payment of any sum of money or assessment whatsoever other than such as the Shareholder may at any time personally agree to pay.

Derivative Actions

Section 6. No Shareholder shall have the right to bring or maintain any court action, proceeding or claim on behalf of the Trust without first making demand on the Trustees requesting the Trustees to bring or maintain such action, proceeding or claim. Such demand shall be mailed to the Clerk of the Trust at the Trust’s principal office and shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature of the proposed court action, proceeding or claim and the essential facts relied upon by the Shareholder to support the allegations made in the demand. The Trustees may determine whether the bringing or maintenance of any such action, proceeding or claim is in the best interests of the Trust or, alternatively in their sole discretion, may submit the matter to a vote of the Shareholders of the Trust. Any such determination made by the Trustees in good faith shall be binding on all Shareholders.

Exclusive Selection of Forum for Certain Shareholder Actions

Section 7. Any action brought by a Shareholder seeking to enforce any right or privilege of Shareholders under this Declaration of Trust, challenging the powers of the Trustees thereunder, alleging a breach of fiduciary duty by any Trustee or officer of the Trust or otherwise involving primarily the internal affairs of the Trust may be brought only in the courts of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

ARTICLE IV

The Trustees

Election

Section 1. A Trustee may be elected either by the Trustees or by the Shareholders. The number of Trustees shall be fixed from time to time by the Trustees and, at or after the commencement of the business of the Trust, shall be not less than three. Each Trustee elected by the Trustees or the Shareholders shall serve until he or she retires, resigns, is removed or dies or until the next meeting of Shareholders called for the purpose of electing Trustees and until the election and qualification of his or her successor.

Removal

Section 2. A Trustee may be removed (i) by vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding Shares at a meeting called for the purpose or (ii) by vote of two-thirds of the Trustees.

Effect of Death, Resignation, etc. of a Trustee

Section 3. The death, declination, resignation, retirement, removal or incapacity of the Trustees, or any one of them, shall not operate to annul the Trust or to revoke any existing agency created pursuant to the terms of this Declaration of Trust.

L-2

(g) To consent to or participate in any plan for the reorganization, consolidation or merger of any corporation or issuer, any security of which is or was held in the Trust; to consent to any contract, lease, mortgage, purchase or sale of property by such corporation or issuer, and to pay calls or subscriptions with respect to any security held in the Trust;

(h) To join other security holders in acting through a committee, depositary, voting trustee or otherwise, and in that connection to deposit any security with, or transfer any security to, any such committee, depositary or trustee, and to delegate to them such power and authority with relation to any security (whether or not so deposited or transferred) as the Trustees shall deem proper, and to agree to pay, and to pay, such portion of the expenses and compensation of such committee, depositary or trustee as the Trustees shall deem proper;

(i) To compromise, arbitrate or otherwise adjust claims in favor of or against the Trust or any matter in controversy, including but not limited to claims for taxes;

profit-sharing, share bonus, share purchase, savings, thrift and other retirement, incentive and benefit plans, trusts and provisions, including the purchasing of life insurance and annuity contracts as a means of providing such retirement and other benefits, for any or all of the Trustees, officers, employees and agents of the Trust.

The Trustees shall not in any way be bound or limited by any present or future law or custom in regard to investments by trustees. Except as otherwise provided herein or from time to time in the Bylaws, any action to be taken by the Trustees may be taken by a majority of the Trustees present at a meeting of the Trustees (a quorum being present), within or without Massachusetts, including any meeting held by means of a conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time and participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at a meeting, or by written consents of a majority of the Trustees then in office.

Payment of Expenses by Trust

Section 5. The Trustees are authorized to pay or to cause to be paid out of the assets of the Trust, all expenses, fees, charges, taxes and liabilities incurred or arising in connection with the Trust, or in connection with the management thereof, including, but not limited to, the Trustees’ compensation and such expenses and charges for the services of the Trust’s officers, employees, investment adviser or manager, principal underwriter, auditor, counsel, custodian, transfer agent, Shareholder servicing agent, and such other agents or independent contractors and such other expenses and charges as the Trustees may deem necessary or proper to incur, provided, however, that all expenses, fees, charges, taxes and liabilities incurred by or arising in connection with a particular series of Shares shall be payable solely out of the assets of that series.

Subject to a favorable Majority Shareholder Vote to the extent required by applicable law, the Trustees may, at any time and from time to time, contract for exclusive or nonexclusive advisory and/or management services with any corporation, trust, association or other organization (the “Manager”), every such contract to comply with such requirements and restrictions as may be set forth in the Bylaws; and any such contract may contain such other terms interpretive of or in addition to said requirements and restrictions as the Trustees may determine, including, without limitation, authority to determine from time to time what investments shall be purchased, held, sold or exchanged and what portion, if any, of the assets of the Trust shall be held uninvested and to make changes in the Trust’s investments. The Trustees may also, at any time and from timeto time, contract with the Manager or any other corporation, trust, association or other organization, appointing it exclusive or nonexclusive distributor or principal underwriter for the Shares, every such contract to comply with such requirements and restrictions as may be set forth in the Bylaws; and any such contract may contain such other terms interpretive of or in addition to said requirements and restrictions as the Trustees may determine.

The fact that:

(i) any of the Shareholders, Trustees or officers of the Trust is a shareholder, director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, manager, adviser, principal underwriter or distributor or agent of or for any corporation, trust, association, or other organization, or of or for any parent or affiliate of any organization, with which an advisory or management contract, or principal underwriter’s or distributor’s contract, or transfer, Shareholder servicing or other agency contract may have been or may hereafter be made, or that any such organization, or any parent or affiliate thereof, is a Shareholder or has an interest in the Trust, or that

(ii) any corporation, trust, association or other organization with which an advisory or management contract or principal underwriter’s or distributor’s contract, or transfer, Shareholder servicing or other agency contract may have been or may hereafter be made also has an advisory or management contract, or transfer, Shareholder servicing or other agency contract with one or more other corporations, trusts, associations, or other organizations, or has other business or interests

shall not affect the validity of any such contract or disqualify any Shareholder, Trustee or officer of the Trust from voting upon or executing the same or create any liability or accountability to the Trust or its Shareholders.

ARTICLE V

Shareholders’ Voting Powers and Meetings

Voting Powers

Section 1. Subject to the voting powers of one or more classes of Shares as set forth elsewhere in this Declaration of Trust or in the Bylaws, the Shareholders shall have power to vote only (i) for the election of Trustees as provided in Article IV, Section 1, (ii) for the removal of Trustees as provided in Article IV, Section 2, (iii) with respect to any Manager as provided in Article IV, Section 6, (iv) with respect to any termination of this Trust to the extent and as provided in Article IX, Section 4, (v) with respect to any amendment of this Declaration of Trust to the extent and as provided in Article IX, Section 8, and (vi) with respect to such additional matters relating to the Trust as may be required by this Declaration of Trust, the Bylaws or any registration of the Trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any successor agency) or any state, or as the Trustees may consider necessary or desirable. Each whole Share shall be entitled to one vote as to any matter on which it is entitled to vote and each fractional Share shall be entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. On any

L-4

matter submitted to a vote of Shareholders, all Shares of the Trust then entitled to vote shall, except as otherwise provided in the Bylaws, be voted in the aggregate as a single class without regard to series or classes of shares, except (1) when required by the 1940 Act or when the Trustees shall have determined that the matter affects one or more series or classes of Shares materially differently, Shares shall be voted by individual series or class; and (2) when the Trustees have determined that the matter affects only the interests of one or more series or classes, only Shareholders of such series or classes shall be entitled to vote thereon. There shall be no cumulative voting in the election of Trustees. Shares may be voted in person or by proxy. A proxy with respect to Shares held in the name of two or more persons shall be valid if executed by any one of them unless at or prior to exercise of the proxy the Trust receives a specific written notice to the contrary from any one of them. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a Shareholder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise and, in the case of a challenge by any person other than the Trust, the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger. Until Shares of any series or class are issued, the Trustees may exercise all rights of Shareholders and may take any action required by law, this Declaration of Trust or the Bylaws to be taken by Shareholders as to such series or class.

Voting Power and Meetings

Section 2. Meetings of Shareholders of any or all series or classes may be called by the Trustees from time to time for the purpose of taking action upon any matter requiring the vote or authority of the Shareholders of such series or classes as herein provided or upon any other matter deemed by the Trustees to be necessary or desirable. Written notice of any meeting of Shareholders shall be given or caused to be given by the Trustees by mailing such notice at least seven days before such meeting, postage prepaid, stating the time, place and purpose of the meeting, to each Shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting at the Shareholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Trust. If the Trustees shall fail to call or give notice of any meeting of Shareholders for a period of 30 days after written application by Shareholders holding at least 10% of the then outstanding shares of all series and classes entitled to vote at such meeting requesting a meeting to be called for a purpose requiring action by the Shareholders as provided herein or in the Bylaws, then Shareholders holding at least 10% of the then outstanding Shares of all series and classes entitled to vote at such meeting may call and give notice of such meeting, and thereupon the meeting shall be held in the manner provided for herein in case of call thereof by the Trustees. Notice of a meeting need not be given to any Shareholder if a written waiver of notice, executed by him or her before or after the meeting, is filed with the records of the meeting, or to any Shareholder who attends the meeting without protesting prior thereto or at its commencement the lack of notice to him or her.

Quorum and Required Vote

Section 3. Thirty percent of Shares entitled to vote on a particular matter shall be a quorum for the transaction of business on that matter at a Shareholders’ meeting, except that where any provision of law or of this Declaration of Trust or the Bylaws requires that holders of any series or class shall vote as an individual series or class, then thirty percent of the aggregate number of Shares of that series or class entitled to vote shall be necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business by that series or class. Any lesser number shall be sufficient for adjournments. Any adjourned session or sessions may be held, within a reasonable time after the date set for the original meeting, without the necessity of further notice. Except when a larger vote is required by any provision of law or of this Declaration of Trust or the Bylaws, a majority of the Shares voted shall decide any questions and a plurality shall elect a Trustee, provided that where any provision of law or of this Declaration of Trust or the Bylaws requires that the holders of any series or class shall vote as an individual series or class then a majority of the Shares of that series or class voted on the matter (or a plurality with respect to the election of a Trustee) shall decide that matter insofar as that series or class is concerned.

Action by Written Consent

Section 4. Any action taken by Shareholders may be taken without a meeting if a majority of Shareholders entitled to vote on the matter (or such larger proportion thereof as shall be required by any express provision of this Declaration of Trust or the Bylaws) consent to the action in writing and such written consents are filed with the records of the meetings of Shareholders. Such consent shall be treated for all purposes as a vote taken at a meeting of Shareholders.

Additional Provisions

Section 5. The Bylaws may include further provisions, not inconsistent with this Declaration of Trust, regarding Shareholders’ voting powers, the conduct of meetings and related matters.

ARTICLE VI

Distributions, Redemptions and Repurchases

Distributions

Section 1. The Trustees may each year, or more frequently if they so determine, distribute to the Shareholders of each series out of the assets of such series such amounts as the Trustees may determine. Any such distribution to the Shareholders of a particular series shall be made to said Shareholders pro rata in proportion to the number of Shares of such series held by each of them, except to the extent otherwise required or permitted by the preferences and special or relative rights and privileges of any classes of Shares of that Series, and any distribution to the Shareholders of a particular class of Shares shall be made to such Shareholders pro rata in proportion to the number of Shares of such class held by each of them. Such distributions shall be made in cash, Shares or other property, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Trustees. Any such distribution

L-5

paid in Shares will be paid at the net asset value thereof as determined in accordance with the Bylaws.

Redemptions and Repurchases

Section 2. The Trust shall purchase such Shares as are offered by any Shareholder for redemption, upon the presentation of any certificate for the Shares to be purchased, a proper instrument of transfer and a request directed to the Trust or a person designated by the Trust that the Trust purchase such Shares, or in accordance with such other procedures for redemption as the Trustees may from time to time authorize; and the Trust will pay therefor the net asset value thereof, as next determined in accordance with the Bylaws, less any redemption charge fixed by the Trustees. Payment for said Shares shall be made by the Trust to the Shareholder within seven days after the date on which the request is made. The obligation set forth in this Section 2 is subject to the provision that in the event that at any time the New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than customary weekends or holidays, or, if permitted by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, during periods when trading on the Exchange is restricted or during any emergency which makes it impractical for the Trust to dispose of its investments or to determine fairly the value of its net assets, or during any other period permitted by order of the Securities and Exchange Commission for the protection of investors, such obligation may be suspended or postponed by the Trustees. The Trust may also purchase or repurchase Shares at a price not exceeding the net asset value of such Shares in effect when the purchase or repurchase or any contract to purchase or repurchase is made. Payment for any redemption, purchase or repurchase may be made in cash or, except to the extent prohibited by the laws of any jurisdiction in which Shares are registered for sale, in other property or any combination thereof. The composition of any such payment shall be determined by the Trust in its sole discretion, and the Trust shall have no obligation to effect a pro rata division of cash or other property in making any such payment. In no event shall the Trust be liable for any delay of any other person in transferring securities or other property selected for delivery as all or part of any such payment.

Redemption at the Option of the Trust

Section 3. The Trust shall have the right at its option and at any time to redeem Shares of any Shareholder at the net asset value thereof as determined in accordance with the Bylaws: (i) if at such time such Shareholder owns fewer Shares than, or Shares having an aggregate net asset value of less than, an amount determined from time to time by the Trustees, in which case the Trust may redeem all Shares owned by such Shareholder or only so many of such Shares as may be required to compensate the Trust for any fee fixed from time to time by the Trustees for the maintenance of small accounts; (ii) to the extent that such Shareholder owns Shares of a particular series of Shares equal to or in excess of a percentage of the outstanding Shares of that series determined from time to time by the Trustees; (iii) to the extent that such Shareholder owns Shares of theTrust representing a percentage equal to or in excess of such percentage of the aggregate number of outstanding Shares of the Trust or the aggregate net asset value of the Trust determined from time to time by the Trustees; (iv) if such Shareholder fails to supply appropriate personal and tax identification information requested by the Trust; (v) if such Shareholder fails to meet or maintain the qualifications for ownership of a particular series or class; or (vi) if the Trustees determine for any other reason, in their sole discretion, that the ownership of Shares by a Shareholder is not in the best interests of the remaining Shareholders of the Trust or of the applicable series or class.

ARTICLE VII

Compensation and Limitation of Liability of Trustees

Compensation

Section 1. The Trustees as such shall be entitled to reasonable compensation from the Trust; they may fix the amount of their compensation. Nothing herein shall in any way prevent the employment of any Trustee for advisory, management, legal, accounting, investment banking or other services and payment for the same by the Trust.

Limitation of Liability

Section 2. A Trustee shall be liable for his or her own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the office of Trustee, and for nothing else. The Trustees shall not be responsible or liable in any event for any neglect or wrongdoing of any officer, agent, employee, manager or principal underwriter of the Trust, nor shall any Trustee be responsible for the act or omission of any other Trustee. The appointment, designation or identification of a Trustee as an officer of the Trustees or of any committee of the Trustees, or as an expert with respect to certain matters (including without limitation identification of a Trustee as an “audit committee financial expert”) shall not impose on that person any duty, obligation or liability that is greater than the duties, obligations and liabilities imposed on that person as a Trustee in the absence of such appointment, designation or identification, and no Trustee who has special skills or expertise or who is appointed, designated of identified as aforesaid, shall be held to a higher standard of care by virtue thereof or be limited in any way with respect to any right or privilege to which such person would otherwise be entitled as a Trustee hereunder, including without limitation the right of indemnification. Nothing herein contained shall protect any Trustee against any liability to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.

ARTICLE VIII

Indemnification

Trustees, Officers, etc.

Section 1. The Trust shall indemnify each of its Trustees and officers (including persons who serve at the Trust’s request as

L-6

directors, officers or trustees of another organization in which the Trust has any interest as a shareholder, creditor or otherwise) (hereinafter referred to as a “Covered Person”) against all liabilities and expenses, including but not limited to amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties, and counsel fees reasonably incurred by any Covered Person in connection with the defense or disposition of any threatened, pending, or contemplated action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative and whether formal or informal before any court or administrative or legislative or other body, in which such Covered Person may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise or with which such Covered Person may be or may have been threatened, while in office or thereafter, by reason of being or having been such a Covered Person except with respect to any matter as to which such Covered Person shall have been finally adjudicated in any such action, suit or other proceeding (a) not to have acted in good faith, (b) not to have acted in the reasonable belief that such Covered Person’s action was in the best interests of the Trust or at least was not opposed to the best interests of the Trust, (c) in the case of a criminal proceeding, to have had reasonable cause to believe his or her action was unlawful or (d) to be liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Covered Person’s office (each of such exceptions being referred to hereinafter as “Disabling Conduct”). Expenses, including counsel fees so incurred by any such Covered Person (but excluding amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines or penalties), shall be paid from time to time by the Trust in advance of the final disposition of any such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay amounts so paid to the Trust if it is ultimately determined that indemnification of such expenses is not authorized under this Article, provided, however, that either (a) such Covered Person shall have provided appropriate security for such undertaking, (b) the Trust shall be insured against losses arising from any such advance payments or (c) either a majority of the disinterested Trustees acting on the matter (provided that a majority of the disinterested Trustees then in office act on the matter), or independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall have determined, based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial type inquiry) that there is reason to believe that such Covered Person will be found entitled to indemnification under this Article. In making any such determination, the disinterested Trustees or such counsel, as the case may be, shall afford the Covered Person a rebuttable presumption that the Covered Person did not engage in Disabling Conduct.

Compromise Payment

Section 2. As to any matter disposed of (whether by a compromise payment, pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise) without an adjudication by a court, or by any other body before which the action, suit, or proceeding was brought, that such Covered Person engaged in Disabling Conduct, indemnification shall be provided if (a) approved as in the best interests of the Trust, after notice that it involves such indemnification, by at least a majority of the disinterested Trustees acting on the matter (provided that a majority of the disinterested Trustees then in office act on the matter) upon a determination, based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial type inquiry) that such Covered Person did not engage in Disabling Conduct, or (b) there has been obtained an opinion in writing of independent legal counsel, based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial type inquiry) to the effect that such Covered Person did not engage in Disabling Conduct. Any approval pursuant to this Section shall not prevent the recovery from any Covered Person of any amount paid to such Covered Person in accordance with this Section as indemnification if such Covered Person is subsequently adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction not to have engaged in Disabling Conduct.

Right Not Exclusive

Section 3. The right of indemnification hereby provided shall not be exclusive of or affect any other rights to which such Covered Person may be entitled. As used in this Article VIII, the term “Covered Person” shall include such person’s heirs, executors and administrators and a “disinterested Trustee” is a Trustee who is not an “interested person” of the Trust as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act (or who has been exempted from being an “interested person” by any rule, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission) and against whom none of such actions, suits or other proceedings or another action, suit or other proceeding on the same or similar grounds is then or has been pending. Nothing contained in this Article shall affect any rights to indemnification to which personnel of the Trust, other than Trustees or officers, and other persons may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law, nor the power of the Trust to purchase and maintain liability insurance on behalf of any such person.

Shareholders

Section 4. In case any Shareholder or former Shareholder shall be held to be personally liable solely by reason of his or her being or having been a Shareholder and not because of his or her acts or omissions or for some other reason, the Shareholder or former Shareholder (or his or her heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representative or in the case of a corporation or other entity, its corporate or other general successor) shall be entitled to be held harmless from and indemnified against all loss and expense arising from such liability, but only out of the assets of the particular series of Shares of which he or she is or was a Shareholder.

L-7

ARTICLE IX

Miscellaneous

Trustees, Shareholders, etc. Not Personally Liable for Obligations of the Trust; Notice
