Letters to Shareholders
Bruce Crockett |
Dear Fellow Shareholders: While the members of the Invesco Funds Board, which I chair, cant dictate the performance of the Invesco funds, be assured that your Board works diligently throughout the year to focus on how your investments are managed. Our job is to represent you and your interests on a variety of fund management-related matters. We regularly monitor how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of ever-changing and often unpredictable economic and market conditions, and we review the investment strategies and investment process employed by each funds management team as explained in the funds prospectus. Perhaps our most significant responsibility is conducting the annual review of the funds advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This annual review, which is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, focuses on |
the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information from Invesco that allows us to evaluate the quality of its services and the reasonableness of its fees. We also use information from a variety of independent sources, including materials provided by the independent senior officer of the Invesco funds, who reports directly to the independent trustees on the Board. Additionally, we meet with legal counsel and review performance and fee data prepared for us by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field.
After a careful review, the members of the Invesco Funds Board approved the continuation of advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett
Independent Chair

Notes to Schedule of Investments:
(a) | Calculated as a percentage of net assets. Amounts in excess of 100% are due to the Trusts use of leverage. |
(b) | Principal and/or interest payments are secured by the bond insurance company listed. |
(c) | Zero coupon bonds issued at a discount. The interest rate shown represents the yield to maturity at time of purchase. |
(d) | Underlying security related to Dealer Trusts entered into by the Trust. See Note 1J. |
(e) | Security subject to the alternative minimum tax. |
(f) | Demand security payable upon demand by the Fund at specified time intervals no greater than thirteen months. Interest rate is redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on August 31, 2014. |
(g) | Current coupon rate for an inverse floating rate municipal obligation. This rate resets periodically as the rate on the related security changes. Positions in an inverse floating rate municipal obligation have a total value of $1,504,260 which represents less than 1% of the Trusts Net Assets. |
(h) | Advance refunded; secured by an escrow fund of U.S. Government obligations or other highly rated collateral. |
(i) | Security has an irrevocable call by the issuer or mandatory put by the holder. Maturity date reflects such call or put. |
(j) | Security purchased or received in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 1933 Act). The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. The aggregate value of these securities at August 31, 2014 was $2,727,477, which represented less than 1% of the Trusts Net Assets. |
(k) | Entities may either issue, guarantee, back or otherwise enhance the credit quality of a security. The entities are not primarily responsible for the issuers obligation but may be called upon to satisfy the issuers obligations. No concentration of any single entity was greater than 5%. |
(l) | Floating rate note obligations related to securities held. The interest and fee rates shown reflect the rates in effect at August 31, 2014. At August 31, 2014, the Trusts investments with a value of $158,018,511 are held by Dealer Trusts and serve as collateral for the $88,365,000 in the floating rate note obligations outstanding at that date. |

NOTE 1Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Trust for Investment Grade New York Municipals (the Trust) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a diversified, closed-end management investment company.
The Trusts investment objective is to provide common shareholders with a high level of current income exempt from federal as well as from New York State and New York City income taxes, consistent with preservation of capital. Under normal market conditions, the Trust will invest at least 80% of its total assets in New York municipal securities rated investment grade at the time of investment.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
Securities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Securities for which market quotations either are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trusts officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on transferability or disposition; trading in similar securities by the same issuer or comparable companies; relevant political, economic or issuer specific news; and other relevant factors under the circumstances.
The Trust may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of the Trusts investments.
14 Invesco Trust for Investment Grade New York Municipals
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuers assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. |
The Trust may periodically participate in litigation related to Trust investments. As such, the Trust may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Trusts net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Trusts total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Trust and the investment adviser.
C. | Country Determination For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuers securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions The Trust declares and pays monthly dividends from net investment income to common shareholders. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and are distributed on a pro rata basis to common and preferred shareholders. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes The Trust intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Internal Revenue Code), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Trusts taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Trust will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Trust recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Trusts uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
In addition, the Trust intends to invest in such municipal securities to allow it to qualify to pay shareholders exempt dividends, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.
The Trust files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Trust is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees include interest and related borrowing costs such as commitment fees, rating and bank agent fees and other expenses associated with lines of credit and Variable Rate Muni Term Preferred Shares (VMTP Shares), and interest and administrative expenses related to establishing and maintaining floating rate note obligations, if any. |
G. | Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Trust monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | Indemnifications Under the Trusts organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts, including the Trusts servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trusts maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Cash and Cash Equivalents For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Trust defines Cash and Cash Equivalents as cash (including foreign currency), money market funds and other investments held in lieu of cash and excludes investments made with cash collateral received. |
J. | Floating Rate Note Obligations The Trust invests in inverse floating rate securities, such as Residual Interest Bonds (RIBs) or Tender Option Bonds (TOBs) for investment purposes and to enhance the yield of the Trust. Inverse floating rate investments tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Such transactions may be purchased in the secondary market without first owning the underlying bond or by the sale of fixed rate bonds by the Trust to special purpose trusts established by a broker dealer (Dealer Trusts) in exchange for cash and residual interests in the Dealer Trusts assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate securities. The Dealer Trusts finance the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and allowing the Trust to retain residual interests in the bonds. |
15 Invesco Trust for Investment Grade New York Municipals
The floating rate notes issued by the Dealer Trusts have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the Dealer Trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. The residual interests held by the Trust (inverse floating rate investments) include the right of the Trust (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the Dealer Trusts to the Trust, thereby collapsing the Dealer Trusts. |
Recently published final rules implementing section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Volcker Rule) prohibit banking entities from engaging in proprietary trading of certain instruments and limit such entities investments in, and relationships with, covered funds. These rules may preclude banking entities from sponsoring and/or providing services for existing TOB trust programs. There can be no assurances that TOB trusts can be restructured substantially similar to their present form, that new sponsors of TOB trusts would begin providing these services, or that alternative forms of leverage will be available to the Trust in order to maintain current levels of leverage. Any alternative forms of leverage may be less advantageous to the Trust, and may adversely affect the Trusts net asset value, distribution rate and ability to achieve its investment objective. The ultimate impact of these rules on the TOBs market and the municipal market generally is not yet certain.
TOBs are presently classified as private placement securities. Private placement securities are subject to restrictions on resale because they have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 1933 Act), or are otherwise not readily marketable. As a result of the absence of a public trading market for these securities, they may be less liquid than publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the Trust or less than what may be considered the fair value of such securities.
The Trust accounts for the transfer of bonds to the Dealer Trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Trusts investment assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Trust liabilities under the caption Floating rate note obligations on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Trust records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption Interest and records the expenses related to floating rate obligations and any administrative expenses of the Dealer Trusts as a component of Interest, facilities and maintenance fees on the Statement of Operations.
The Trust generally invests in inverse floating rate securities that include embedded leverage, thus exposing the Trust to greater risks and increased costs. The primary risks associated with inverse floating rate securities are varying degrees of liquidity and the changes in the value of such securities in response to changes in market rates of interest to a greater extent than the value of an equal principal amount of a fixed rate security having similar credit quality, redemption provisions and maturity which may cause the Trusts net asset value to be more volatile than if it had not invested in inverse floating rate securities. In certain instances, the short-term floating rate interests created by the special purpose trust may not be able to be sold to third parties or, in the case of holders tendering (or putting) such interests for repayment of principal, may not be able to be remarketed to third parties. In such cases, the special purpose trust holding the long-term fixed rate bonds may be collapsed. In the case of RIBs or TOBs created by the contribution of long-term fixed income bonds by the Trust, the Trust will then be required to repay the principal amount of the tendered securities. During times of market volatility, illiquidity or uncertainty, the Trust could be required to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time to raise cash to meet that obligation.
K. | Other Risks The value of, payment of interest on, repayment of principal for and the ability to sell a municipal security may be affected by constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives and the economics of the regions in which the issuers are located. |
Since many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities, conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal securities market and a Trusts investments in municipal securities.
There is some risk that a portion or all of the interest received from certain tax-free municipal securities could become taxable as a result of determinations by the Internal Revenue Service.
NOTE 2Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the Adviser or Invesco). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Trust pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of 0.55% of the Trusts average daily managed assets. Managed assets for this purpose means the Trusts net assets, plus assets attributable to outstanding preferred shares and the amount of any borrowings incurred for the purpose of leverage (whether or not such borrowed amounts are restated in the Trusts financial statements for purposes of GAAP).
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) the Adviser, not the Trust, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Trust based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser had contractually agreed, through August 31, 2014, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit the Trusts expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) to 0.69%. In determining the Advisers obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the Trusts expenses to exceed the limit reflected above: (1) interest, facilities and maintenance fees; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Trust has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Adviser has agreed to continue to limit the Trusts expenses as described above. This agreement may be discontinued at any time without notice to shareholders. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the date the expense limit is discontinued.
For the six months ended August 31, 2014, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $440,295.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Trust has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Trust. For the six months ended August 31, 2014, expenses incurred under this agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco.

NOTE 3Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investments assigned level:
Level 1 | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
Level 2 | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
Level 3 | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Trusts own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
As of August 31, 2014, all of the securities in this Trust were valued based on Level 2 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
NOTE 4Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits
Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Trust to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Trust. Effective August 29, 2014, Trustees will have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust, and Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits will include amounts accrued by the Trust to fund such deferred compensation amounts.
During the six months ended August 31, 2014, the Trust did not pay any legal fees for services rendered by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP as counsel to the Trust. A trustee of the Trust is Of Counsel of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP. Effective August 29, 2014, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP is no longer counsel to the Trust.
NOTE 5Cash Balances and Borrowings
The Trust is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Trust may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
Inverse floating rate obligations resulting from the transfer of bonds to Dealer Trusts are accounted for as secured borrowings. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest and fee rate related to inverse floating rate note obligations during the six months ended August 31, 2014 were $89,475,000 and 0.66%, respectively.
NOTE 6Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Trusts capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Trusts fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Trust to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in 8 tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Trust had a capital loss carryforward as of February 28, 2014 which expires as follows:

NOTE 9Variable Rate Muni Term Preferred Shares
On May 9, 2012, the Trust issued 768 Series 2015/6-VTN VMTP Shares, with a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share, pursuant to an offering exempt from registration under the 1933 Act. In addition, the Trust issued 136 Series 2015/6-VTN VMTP Shares in connection with the reorganization of the Invesco New York Quality Municipal Securities into the Trust with a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share. Proceeds from the issuance of VMTP Shares on June 1, 2015 were used to redeem all of the Trusts outstanding Auction Rate Preferred Shares (ARPS). VMTP Shares are a floating-rate form of preferred shares with a mandatory redemption date. The Trust is required to redeem all outstanding VMTP Shares on June 1, 2015, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or extended. VMTP Shares are subject to optional and mandatory redemption in certain circumstances. The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation value per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends and a redemption premium, if any. On or prior to the redemption date, the Trust will be required to segregate assets having a value equal to 110% of the redemption amount.
The Trust incurred costs in connection with the issuance of the VMTP Shares. These costs were recorded as a deferred charge and are being amortized over the 3 year life of the VMTP Shares. Amortization of these costs is included in Interest, facilities and maintenance fees on the Statement of Operations and the unamortized balance is included in Deferred offering costs on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Dividends paid on the VMTP Shares (which are treated as interest expense for financial reporting purposes) are declared daily and paid monthly. The initial rate for dividends was equal to the sum of 1.10% per annum plus the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Municipal Swap Index (the SIFMA Index). Subsequent rates are determined based upon changes in the SIFMA Index and take into account a ratings spread of 1.10% to 4.00% which is based on the long term preferred share ratings assigned to the VMTP Shares by a ratings agency. The average aggregate liquidation preference outstanding and the average annualized dividend rate of the VMTP Shares during the six months ended August 31, 2014 were $90,400,000 and 1.15%, respectively.
The Trust is subject to certain restrictions relating to the VMTP Shares, such as maintaining certain asset coverage and leverage ratio requirements. Failure to comply with these restrictions could preclude the Trust from declaring any distributions to common shareholders or purchasing common shares and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption of VMTP Shares at liquidation preference.
The liquidation preference of VMTP Shares, which are considered debt of the Trust for financial reporting purposes, is recorded as a liability under the caption Variable rate muni term preferred shares on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Unpaid dividends on VMTP Shares are recognized as Accrued interest expense on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends paid on VMTP Shares are recognized as a component of Interest, facilities and maintenance fees on the Statement of Operations.
NOTE 10Dividends

NOTE 12Legal Proceedings
Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note.
Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries
The Trust received a shareholder demand letter dated March 25, 2011 alleging that, prior to the tenure of the current adviser, the Adviser and certain individuals breached their fiduciary duties and wasted Trust assets by causing the Trust to redeem Auction Rate Preferred Securities (ARPS) at their par value at the expense of the Trust and common shareholders. The shareholder claimed that the Trust was not obliged to provide liquidity to preferred shareholders, the redemptions were improperly motivated to benefit the Adviser, and the market value and fair value of the ARPS were less than par at the time they were redeemed. The shareholder demands that: 1) the Board takes action against the Adviser and individuals to recover damages and 2) the Board refrain from authorizing further redemptions or repurchases of ARPS by the Trust at prices in excess of fair value or market value at the time of the transaction. The Board formed a Special Litigation Committee (SLC) to investigate these claims and to make a recommendation to the Board regarding whether pursuit of these claims is in the best interests of the Trusts. Upon completion of its investigation, the SLC recommended that the Board reject the demands specified in the shareholder demand letters, after which the Board publicly announced on June 24, 2011, that the Independent Trustees had adopted the SLCs recommendation and voted to reject the demands. The Trust is not the subject of a lawsuit in connection with this demand letter. The Trust is not the subject of a lawsuit in connection with this demand letter.
Management of Invesco and the Trust believe that the outcome of the demand letter described above will have no material adverse effect on the Trust or on the ability of Invesco to provide ongoing services to the Trust.
