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

+ In 2008, the Fund redeemed in full its APS.

^ Effective February 1, 2010, the Fund's name was changed by dropping the word "Insured" therefrom.  The Fund's ticker symbol did not change

Each Municipal Income Trust paid a monthly dividend on December 17, 2009 to shareholders of record on December 10, 2009. Each Insured Municipal Bond Fund paid a monthly dividend on December 31, 2009 to shareholders of record on December 24, 2009.  As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of future distributions may change.

(1) The leverage percentage quoted refers only to the ratio involving a Fund's APS outstanding on December 31, 2009.  During 2008, three of the Funds redeemed their APS in full while many other have redeemed their APS in part.  Replacement financing for these Funds has been provided by the creation of Tender Option Bond trusts.
