Re:IMPORTANT – PLEASE VOTE YOUR LM FUND PROXIES  

####################### 

Due to the pending merger with Franklin Templeton, we are required to seek shareholder approval of the new investment advisory contracts for each of Legg Mason’s many U.S.-organized open-end and closed-end funds.  

In coming weeks, you will receive proxies for funds in which you hold shares. We need your help in acquiring the needed shareholder votes. 

Please OPEN AND VOTE your proxies! DO NOT throw them out. 

Voting can be accomplished by internet, telephone or mail. 

Your vote matters, no matter how many shares you own, and we ask for your help.  

Getting fund shareholders to vote is among the most labor-intensive processes in our efforts to satisfy the requirements needed to close the transaction. 

In a small number of closed-end funds, the proxy is being contested. If you are invested in these funds, you will receive materials from our proxy solicitor, Innisfree, indicating that those funds are contested. The recommendations of our fund boards are reflected on the WHITE proxy cards. 

For these funds, you may receive white, gold or green proxy cards or voting instruction forms: 

WHITE proxy cards = Vote with Management 

GREEN or GOLD proxy cards = Vote with parties unaffiliated with Legg Mason 

If you have questions, do not receive proxy materials by May __, or have misplaced a proxy, please _______________ or ___________. They will be happy to help you complete this important task. 

Again, it is important that you – and all shareholders –vote your proxy in the timeliest possible manner. Thank you for your assistance.
