For securities that have been enhanced by a third-party (other than a bond insurer), such as a guarantor, sector classifications are based upon the economic sector and/or revenue source of the third party, as determined by the Fund's Adviser. Securities that are insured by a bond insurer are assigned according to the economic sector and/or revenue source of the underlying obligor. Pre-refunded securities are those whose debt service is paid from escrowed funds, usually U.S. government securities.

Notes to Financial Statements

May 31, 2012 (unaudited)

1. Organization

Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund (individually referred to as the “Fund,” or collectively as the “Funds”) are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as diversified, closed-end management investment companies. Each Fund's investment objective is to provide current income exempt from federal income tax, including the federal AMT.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Investment Valuation

In calculating its net asset value (NAV), each Fund generally values investments as follows:

If the Funds cannot obtain a price or price evaluation from a pricing service for an investment, the Funds may attempt to value the investment based upon the mean of bid and asked quotations or fair value the investment based on price evaluations, from one or more dealers. If any price, quotation, price evaluation or other pricing source is not readily available when the NAV is calculated, the Funds use the fair value of the investment determined in accordance with the procedures described below. There can be no assurance that the Funds could purchase or sell an investment at the price used to calculate each Fund's NAV.

Fair Valuation and Significant Events Procedures

The Trustees have authorized the use of pricing services to provide evaluations of the current fair value of certain investments for purposes of calculating the NAV. Factors considered by pricing services in evaluating an investment include the yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, call rights and other potential prepayments, terms and type, reported transactions, indications as to values from dealers and general market conditions. Some pricing services provide a single price evaluation reflecting the bid-side of Semi-Annual Shareholder Report

29

Table Of Contents
the market for an investment (a “bid” evaluation). Other pricing services offer both bid evaluations and price evaluations indicative of a price between the prices bid and asked for the investment (a “mid” evaluation). The Funds normally use bid evaluations for U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities. The Funds normally use mid evaluations for other types of fixed-income securities and OTC derivative contracts. In the event that market quotations and price evaluations are not available for an investment, the fair value of the investment is determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees.

The Trustees also have adopted procedures requiring an investment to be priced at its fair value whenever the Adviser determines that a significant event affecting the value of the investment has occurred between the time as of which the price of the investment would otherwise be determined and the time as of which the NAV is computed. An event is considered significant if there is both an affirmative expectation that the investment's value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value. Examples of significant events that may occur after the close of the principal market on which a security is traded, or after the time of a price evaluation provided by a pricing service or a dealer, include:

The Funds may seek to obtain more current quotations or price evaluations from alternative pricing sources. If a reliable alternative pricing source is not available, the Funds will determine the fair value of the investment using another method approved by the Trustees.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified-cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are declared and paid monthly.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted using the effective interest rate method.

Federal Taxes

It is each Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. As of and during the six months ended May 31, 2012, the Funds did not have a liability for any uncertain tax positions. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. As of May 31, 2012, tax years 2008 through 2011 remain subject to examination by the Funds' major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the state of Delaware.

Semi-Annual Shareholder Report

Table Of Contents
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

Inverse Floater Trusts

The Funds may leverage their assets through the use of inverse floater trusts, which are also referred to as TOBs. An inverse floater trust is established by a third party sponsor forming a special purpose entity, into which fixed-rate, tax-exempt municipal bonds purchased by the Funds are transferred. The inverse floater trust subsequently issues two or more variable rate securities that are collateralized by the cash flows of the fixed-rate, tax-exempt municipal bonds. One or more of these variable-rate securities pays interest based on a floating rate set by a remarketing agent at predetermined intervals. A residual-interest tax-exempt security, which is transferred to the Funds, is also created by the trust and pays interest based on the remaining cash flow of the trust, after payment of interest on the other securities and various expenses of the trust.

The Funds account for the transfer of bonds to the trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Funds' Portfolio of Investments and the related floating rate notes reflected as Fund liabilities under the caption, “Payable for floating rate certificate securities” in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. At May 31, 2012, for Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund, investments with a value of $26,191,256 are held by the inverse floater trusts and serve as collateral for the $17,100,000 in floating rate certificate securities outstanding at that date and for the Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund, investments with a value of $30,566,615 are held by the inverse floater trusts and serve as collateral for the $19,175,000 in floating rate certificate securities outstanding at that date. The Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and the Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund recorded interest and inverse floater trust expenses of $64,697 and $76,695, respectively, for these investments for the six months ended May 31, 2012.

While these inverse floater trusts are accounted for as secured borrowings, the Funds' Adviser has determined that they do not constitute borrowings for purposes of any fundamental limitation on borrowings that may be applicable to the Funds.

Restricted Securities

The Funds may purchase securities which are considered restricted. Restricted securities are securities that either: (a) cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, or being able to take advantage of an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933; or (b) are subject to contractual restrictions on public sales. In some cases, when a security cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, the issuer of the restricted security has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer's expense, either upon demand by the Funds or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many such restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. The Funds will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Funds' restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Table Of Contents

At November 30, 2011, Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund had capital loss carryforwards of $6,757,328 and $8,986,645, respectively, which will reduce the Funds' taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, thereby reducing the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal income tax. Pursuant to the Code, a net capital loss incurred in taxable years beginning on or before December 22, 2010, is characterized as short-term and may be carried forward for a maximum of eight tax years (“Carryforward Limit”), whereas a net capital loss incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, retains its character as either short-term or long-term, does not expire and is required to be utilized prior to the losses which have a Carryforward Limit.

The following schedules summarize the Funds' capital loss carryforwards and expiration years:

5. Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates

Investment Adviser Fee

Each Fund has entered into an Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Federated Investment Management Company (the “Adviser”), to serve as investment manager to the Funds. The Agreement provides for an annual management fee, payable daily, at the annual rate of 0.55% of each Fund's managed assets.

In order to reduce the Funds' expenses, the Adviser had contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment adviser fee at the annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net value of each Fund's managed assets, inclusive of any assets attributable to any preferred shares that may be issued, from the commencement of operations through December 31, 2007, and at a declining rate thereafter through December 31, 2010. Effective January 1, 2010, and continuing through December 31, 2010, the contractual waiver was reduced to 0.05%. Effective Semi-Annual Shareholder Report

33

Table Of Contents
January 1, 2011, the contractual fee waiver expired. Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the six months ended May 31, 2012, the Adviser voluntarily waived $206,189 and $202,296 of its fee for Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund, respectively.

Administrative Fee

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Funds with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of certain Federated funds as specified below:

Administrative Fee Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets
of the Federated Funds
0.150% on the first $5 billion
0.125% on the next $5 billion
0.100% on the next $10 billion
0.075% on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the six months ended May 31, 2012, FAS waived $12,045 of its fee for Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and $11,995 of its fee for Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund. The net fee paid to FAS was 0.138% and 0.125% for Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund, respectively. Each Fund is currently being charged the minimum administrative fee.

Expense Limitation

Effective December 1, 2011, the Adviser and its affiliates (which may include FAS) have voluntarily agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total annual fund operating expenses (as shown in the financial highlights, excluding any interest and trust expenses on inverse floater trusts) paid by each Fund will not exceed 0.99%. While the Adviser and its affiliates currently do not anticipate terminating or increasing these arrangements, no assurance can be given that future total annual fund operating expenses will not be more or less than 0.99%.

Interfund Transactions

During the six months ended May 31, 2012, the Funds engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and were as follows:

6. Preferred Shares

Auction Market Preferred Shares

On February 13, 2003, Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund offered 2,147 and 2,441 Auction Market Preferred Shares (AMPS), respectively. The AMPS are redeemable at the option of the Funds at the redemption price of $25,000 per share plus an amount equal to accumulated, but unpaid dividends thereon through the redemption date.

On July 17, 2008, the Funds' Trustees approved a plan to use inverse floater trusts to refinance a portion of the Funds' outstanding AMPS. During the year ended November 30, 2009, Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund redeemed $7,500,000 and $9,000,000, representing 300 and 360 of their outstanding AMPS, respectively, at liquidation value, using proceeds that arose from the use of the inverse floater trusts. During the year ended November 30, 2008, Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund redeemed $9,600,000 and $10,125,000, representing 384 and 405 of their outstanding AMPS, respectively, at liquidation value, using proceeds that arose from the use of the inverse floater trusts. On December 22, 2011 each Fund used the proceeds from its VMTP share private offering, as discussed below, to fund the tender of 737 and 1,080 AMPS for Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund, respectively. As of May 31, 2012, Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund currently have outstanding 726 and 596 AMPS, respectively.

Whenever AMPS are outstanding, common shareholders will not be entitled to receive any distributions from the Funds unless all accrued dividends on AMPS have been paid, the Funds satisfy the 200% asset coverage requirement and certain other requirements imposed by any nationally recognized statistical ratings organizations (NRSROs) rating the AMPS have been met. Should these requirements not be met, or should dividends accrued on the AMPS not be paid, the Funds may be restricted in their ability to declare dividends to common shareholders or may be required to redeem certain of the AMPS. At May 31, 2012, there were no such restrictions on the Funds.

Distributions to AMPS are recorded daily and paid weekly at a rate set through auction procedures or under each Fund's Statement of Preferences. The dividend rate to AMPS for Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund at May 31, 2012, was 0.155% and 0.144%, respectively.

Each auction requires the participation of one or more Broker-Dealers. The auction agent, currently Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, will enter into agreements with one or more Broker-Dealers selected by the Funds, which provide for the participation of those Broker-Dealers in auctions for AMPS. The auction agent will pay each Broker-Dealer after each auction, from funds provided by the Funds. The trailer commissions for Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund for the six months ended May 31, 2012, were $22,509 and $22,686, respectively.

Variable Rate Municipal Term Preferred Shares

On December 22, 2011 each Fund issued variable rate municipal term preferred shares (VMTP shares) in a private offering. Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund issued 737 VMTP shares totaling $18.4 million and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund issued 1,080 VMTP shares totaling $27.0 million. Each Fund used the proceeds from its Semi-Annual Shareholder Report

Table Of Contents
VMTP share offering to pay for the AMPS it accepted in an AMPS tender offer. VMTP shares are a floating-rate form of preferred shares with a mandatory term redemption date of December 22, 2014, unless extended, and dividends (which are treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes) that are set weekly to a fixed spread of 1.20% against the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Municipal Swap Index.

VMTP shares represent preferred shares and rank on parity with the AMPS. VMTP shares are senior in priority to each Fund's outstanding common shares as to payment of dividends. As of May 31, 2012, Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund currently have outstanding 737 and 1,080 VMTP shares, respectively. The average liquidation value outstanding and average annualized dividend rate of VMTP shares for the Funds during the six months ended May 31, 2012 were $18,425,000 and 1.36%, respectively, for Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and $27,000,000 and 1.36%, respectively, for Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund.

7. OFFERING COSTS

Costs incurred in connection with each Fund's offering of VMTP shares in the amount of $227,443 per Fund were recorded as a deferred charge which are being amortized over the life of the shares. Each Fund's amortized deferred charges are recognized as a component of the applicable expense on the Statement of Operations.

8. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations, for the six months ended May 31, 2012, were as follows:

Purchases Sales
Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund $16,150,867 $14,220,789
Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund $20,575,351 $18,101,680

9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-03, “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.” This ASU amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing”; specifically the criteria required to determine whether a repurchase agreement and similar agreements should be accounted for as sales of financial assets or secured borrowings with commitments. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management has concluded that the adoption of ASU No. 2011-03 is not expected to have a material impact on the Funds' financial statements and the accompanying notes, net assets or results of operations.

In addition, in May 2011, FASB released ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” This ASU amends FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” to establish common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management has concluded that the adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Funds' financial statements and the accompanying notes.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract – May 2012

federated premier municipal income fund (“FMN” or the “Fund”)

Federated premier intermediate municipal income fund (“fpt” or the “fund”) (collectively, “funds”)

Following a review and recommendation of approval by the Funds' independent trustees, the Funds' Board reviewed and approved at its May 2012 meetings each Fund's investment advisory contract for an additional one-year period. The Board's decision regarding these contracts reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

In this connection, the Federated Funds' Board had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent, written evaluation that covered topics discussed below (the “Evaluation”). The Board considered that Evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contracts.

The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to a fund and its shareholders, including the performance and expenses of the fund and of comparable funds; the Adviser's cost of providing the services, including the profitability to the Adviser of providing advisory services to a fund; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger and, if such economies exist, whether they have been shared with a fund and its shareholders; any “fall-out financial benefits” that accrue to the Adviser because of its relationship with a fund (including research services received from brokers that execute fund trades and any fees paid to affiliates of the Adviser for services rendered to a fund); comparative fee structures, including a comparison of fees paid to the Adviser with those paid by similar funds; and the extent to which the Board members are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant to its consideration of the Adviser's services and fees. Consistent with these judicial decisions, the Board also considered management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser for what might be viewed as like services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of each Fund's advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

Table Of Contents
The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Funds and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by independent legal counsel. Throughout the year and in connection with its May meetings, the Board requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Funds and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer's Evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional substantial information in connection with the May meeting at which the Board's formal review of the advisory contracts occurred. At this May meeting, senior management of the Adviser also met with the independent trustees and their counsel to discuss the materials presented and any other matters thought relevant by the Adviser or the trustees. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board's consideration of the advisory contracts included review of the Senior Officer's Evaluation, accompanying data and additional information covering such matters as: the Adviser's investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Funds' short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to their particular investment programs and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Funds' investment objectives; the Funds' expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Funds, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Funds' portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders; the entrepreneurial risk assumed by the Adviser in sponsoring the funds; the continuing state of competition in the investment company industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated's responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board's evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the fund marketplace.

While mindful that courts have cautioned against giving such comparisons too much weight, the Board has found the use of comparisons of the Funds' fees and expenses to other closed-end funds with comparable investment programs to be relevant, given the high degree of competition in the investment company industry. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar funds more heavily than non-fund products or services because it is believed that they are more relevant. For example, other closed-end funds are the products most like the Funds, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Funds' investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Funds compete. In this regard, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated's fees for providing advisory services to Federated registered investment companies as well as products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts). He concluded that registered investment companies and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences include, but are not limited to, different types of targeted investors; being subject to different laws and regulations; different legal structures; different average account sizes; different associated costs; portfolio management techniques made necessary by such differences; and portfolio manager time spent in review of securities pricing. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be determinative in judging the appropriateness of fund advisory contracts.

The Funds' ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to their peer groups was also deemed to be relevant by the Board as a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Funds' investment programs, which in turn assisted the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser's investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contracts.

The Senior Officer reviewed information compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other regulated investment companies, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups are relevant in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.

For the one-year, three-year and five-year periods covered by the Evaluation, FMN's performance was above the median of the relevant peer group.

For the one-year, three-year and five-year periods covered by the Evaluation, FPT's performance was above the median of the relevant peer group.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including information regarding the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. This information covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated's subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds' administrator). The Semi-Annual Shareholder Report

information also detailed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board also considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate. Moreover, the Board receives regular reporting as to the institution or elimination of these voluntary waivers.

Federated furnished information, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund by fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund-by-fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, although they may apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs (and the unavoidable arbitrary aspects of that exercise) and the lack of consensus on how to allocate those costs may render such allocation information unreliable. The allocation information was considered in the analysis by the Board but was determined to be of limited use.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed information compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer noted the limited availability of such information, but nonetheless concluded that Federated's profit margins did not appear to be excessive.

The Board also considered whether the Funds might benefit from “economies of scale” and noted that, as “closed-end funds,” which have made an offering of a fixed number of common shares and (other than the issuance of preferred shares contemplated at the time of the Funds' initial public offerings) have not made and do not expect to make additional offerings to raise more assets, the Funds are unlikely to grow materially in size and, as a consequence, there are no meaningful “economies of scale” to be realized from internal growth. Accordingly, the Board concluded that this was not a relevant consideration in its overall evaluation.

It was noted in the materials for the Board meeting that for the period covered by the Evaluation, FMN's investment advisory fee was above the median of the relevant peer group. The Board reviewed the fees and other expenses of FMN with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of FMN remained competitive. The Board will continue to monitor advisory fees and other expenses borne by FMN.

It was noted in the materials for the Board meeting that for the period covered by the Evaluation, FPT's investment advisory fee was above the median of the relevant peer group. The Board reviewed the fees and other expenses of FPT with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of FPT remained competitive. The Board will continue to monitor advisory fees and other expenses borne by FPT.

The Senior Officer noted that, considering the totality of the circumstances, and all of the factors referenced within his Evaluation, he had concluded that, subject to comments and recommendations made within his Evaluation, his observations and the information accompanying the Evaluation supported a finding by the Board that the management fees for each of the funds was reasonable and that Federated appeared to provide appropriate advisory and administrative services to the Funds for the fees paid. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to, the continuation of the Funds' advisory contracts.

In its decision to continue the existing investment advisory contracts, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Funds' operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew the advisory contracts. In particular, the Board recognized that many shareholders have invested in the Funds on the strength of the Adviser's industry standing and reputation and with the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Funds. Thus, the Board's approval of the advisory contracts reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Funds. The Board concluded that, in light of the factors discussed above, including the nature, quality and scope of the services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates, continuation of the advisory contracts was appropriate.

The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contracts on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Funds, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board's decision to approve the contracts reflects its determination that Federated's performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT FUND DOCUMENT DELIVERY

In an effort to reduce costs and avoid duplicate mailings, the Fund(s) intend to deliver a single copy of certain documents to each household in which more than one shareholder of the Fund(s) resides (so-called “householding”), as permitted by applicable rules. The Fund's “householding” program covers its Semi-Annual and Annual Shareholder Reports and any Proxies or information statements. Shareholders must give their written consent to participate in the “householding” program. The Fund is also permitted to treat a shareholder as having given consent (“implied consent”) if (i) shareholders with the same last name, or believed to be members of the same family, reside at the same street address or receive mail at the same post office box, (ii) the Fund gives notice of its intent to “household” at least sixty (60) days before it begins “householding” and (iii) none of the shareholders in the household have notified the Fund(s) or their agent of the desire to “opt out” of “householding.” Shareholders who have granted written consent, or have been deemed to have granted implied consent, can revoke that consent and opt out of “householding” at any time: shareholders who purchased shares through an intermediary should contact their representative; other shareholders may call the Fund at 1-800-730-6001 or email CEinfo@federatedinvestors.com.
