Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust, and Putnam Premier Income
Trust); and (iii) an amended and restated declaration of trust
(applicable to all five funds), as well as certain amendments,
which shareholders will be asked to consider separately, to certain

High Income Securities Fund, Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust,
Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust, and Putnam Premier Income
Trust).
Combined proxy solicitation materials for all five funds
